Nick Lachey should be popping the question to girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo any day now. The former boybander was seen shopping for engagement rings at Cartier's in Seattle. The National Enquirer reports:

Two items fascinated Nick: A platinum band with a solitaire princess-cut diamond called "Declaration," and a 5-carat emeraldcut stone set off by baguette diamonds. Nick told the salesgirl he wasn't ready to buy "just yet – but I think I've narrowed it down to two." (Source)

Wait a minute, Nick's really dating Vanessa Minnillo? Seriously? I thought he was kidding. Kinda like how Rosie O'Donnell used to always act crazy about Tom Cruise but everyone knew she was joking around because if she had to list her favorite things in the world, it would go 1. hot dogs, and 2. vagina.

You really can't blame me for thinking this dude is gay. According to my 26 years of experience, straight dudes don't wear ten pounds of hair gel, dump rich blondes for beat up Eurasians, and drink daiquiris. Unless you're Richard Simmons. Don't let his appearance fool you--that guy will rip your fucking heart out and not think twice about it.

NOTE: You can take this gossip to the bank. The Enquirer is never wrong about this sort of thing.
