Nick Jonas told me in Times Square on New Year’s Eve that 2018 would be, “a really good year.”

But clearly the talented artist, who is navigating between the silver screen, the radio airwaves and the fashion runways, couldn’t have seen an engagement to Priyanka Chopra coming. People broke the story last week; Jonas reportedly popped the question for the actress’ birthday.

“Well, I already have a body of work that’s done,” Jonas told me in his Times Square green room before performing on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” to close out 2017. “I think with ‘Chaos Walking,’ the film I finished up a little while ago, and then straight in to ‘Jumanji’ promo, we felt like, ‘Let’s give that music the attention it deserves and push it til next year.’

“So it’ll come out at some point this next year and I’m really excited to get it out there.”

The media first linked Jonas and Chopra in May so for those counting at home, that’s two months before an engagement… and probably a few more months after that before we hear any more music from Nick – hey, he’s (allegedly) got a wedding to plan now.

I joined HLN “The Daily Share” anchor Rocsi Diaz to chat about Rupert Murdoch’s engagement to Jerry Hall. Murdoch popped the question this past weekend in Los Angeles, where the two attended the Golden Globes.

TMZ reports that while on bended knee, Kris Humphries slid an engagement ring on to Kim Kardashian’s finger that is worth $2 million. In this day and age, is that too much to spend on a ring?

I spoke with Kardashian at an event in New York City last October. Jeweler Michael Hill picked the reality TV star to be the face of his search for the world’s best couple. The grand prize in the competition was a 22 CT diamond ring, which as you can see above, looked pretty good on Kardashian (she reportedly received a 20.5 CT piece from Humphries). I spoke with Kim about what she’d be looking for in a ring. Keep in mind, she was reportedly single at the time we talked: links to Gabriel Aubry began the following month and talks of the Nets basketball player began soon after.

No one knows if Kardashian had any say in the final size of the ring – perhaps Humphries took it upon himself to go big or go home – maybe even Kim’s sisters influenced him. But perhaps “nothing specific” is the new “as big as possible”?
