It’s Official: Kourtney Kardashian Is Engaged To Travis Barker

In less than a year,Travis Barker has done what Scott Disick couldn’t do in ten: get a ring on Kourtney Kardashian’s finger. The Poosh founder made the announcement official herself with an image of her being embraced on the beach by Barker… at sunset… surrounded by thousands of roses and candlelight. Her caption? One word: “Forever.”

TheBlink-182drummer got down on one knee beachside at the Rosewood Miramar hotel –and she said yes! They had just gotten back from a fun trip to NYC – where Travis was in town to perform withYoung Thugon “SNL” – and hit up the Rosewood in Montecito, their usual spot. So a source tells “E! News” Kourtney “had no idea” he was planning to propose.

Travis recruited the Kardashian fam’s florist Jeff Leatham to set up huge floral arrangements on the beach lined with candles, leading Kourtney to center where he “professed his love to her and thanked her for making him a better person.” "It was super emotional and sentimental. Kourtney was so happy and was definitely emotional," the insider says. "She teared up and couldn't stop saying, 'I love you.'"

LA County Attempting Forced Psych Eval On Vanessa Bryant

If the county of Los Angeles has its way,Vanessa Bryant and the other surviving family members of the fatal helicopter that killed Kobe Bryant, their daughter Gianna, and seven others in January 2020 will have tosubmit to a psychiatric examto prove a point. To review, they’re suing over the unauthorized release of photos of the crash site. The county wants to know if the plaintiffs’ emotional distress was caused by the photos or the crash itself.

Since the county thinks it was the crash itself, they want a court order to compel the exams to defend themselves against Vanessa’s lawsuit. She’s claiming invasion of privacy and negligence because county employees improperly shared pictures of human remains from the crash site.

“Despite putting their mental condition front and center in this case, Plaintiffs refuse to submit to independent medical examinations (IMEs),” the county stated in their court filing. “The County brings this motion to compel IMEs of the Plaintiffs, which are necessary to evaluate the existence, extent and nature of Plaintiffs’ alleged emotional injuries. Plaintiffs cannot claim that they are suffering from ongoing depression, anxiety and severe emotional distress and then balk at having to support their claims.”

The lawyers representing Vanessa and the others blasted the county’s response because it would force psych evals on a group that includes “four teenagers, a 10-year-old child, and a five-year-old kindergartener.” The judge has yet to rule on the county’s request, but the trial is set for February.

William Shatner Responds To Criticism From George Takei, Prince William

William Shatner is officially the oldest person to go to space, and apparently not everyone is impressed.At least, as we previously reported,George Takei and Prince Williamhad things to say about it.

Takei threw shade at his former “Star Trek” captain by quipping that he was “boldly going where other people have gone before” as a “guinea pig” for Jeff Bezos’space travel company Blue Origin. Now, Shatner has fired back on Twitter, urging fans not to send hate Takei’s way since “the only time he gets press is when he talks bad about me.”

“He claims 50+ years ago I took away a camera angle that denied him 30 more seconds of prime time TV. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’m giving it back to him now by letting him spew his hatred for the world to see!🤣 Bill the 🐷”Check out the post below.

As we told you, Shatner also responded to Prince William saying there are more important things on Earth to focus on than space travel. Shatner is on the same wavelength, since hetold “Today” after his journeyit reminded him how important it is to take care of the planet. But still, he thinks Will has “the wrong idea” about space travel. "I would tell the prince, and I hope the prince gets the message, this is a baby step into the idea of getting industry up there," he notes. "So that all those polluting industries, especially, for example, the industries that make electricity... off of Earth."

We told youabout rumors that Adele was thinking of headlining a Las Vegas residency, but it looks like it may not be as big as folks were expecting. In fact, a new report claims it’s just one show.

According to “The Sun” Adele is actually in talks to do one show at The Encore Theater at Wynn in Las Vegas to help launch her new album “30," which drops November 19th.

“Adele has said that she wants to showcase the album in Vegas with a one-off, very special concert,” a source claims. “Ideally, she doesn’t want it to be an arena,” adding, “And the smaller Encore is a very strong contender. Its old-school Rat Pack influences make it feel very ‘her’.”

Meanwhile, Adele discussed her touring plans in an interview with BBC 2’s “Big Breakast” host Zoe Ball.“I don’t have any solid plans because of COVID,” she said. “we have a few options in the pipeline and we’re just trying to work out what is most doable.” She added, “but I’ll be doing something or other.”

Speaking of “Easy on Me,” in an interview with the BCC 1 Radio Breakfast Show with Greg James, Adele says her friends weren’t all that impressed with the song at first. "I sent a snippet of me singing it as I was writing it to three of my closest friends here," she shares. "And one didn't like it, the other one was like, 'Well, yeah, maybe, keep trying though,' and the other one was, 'I'm busy working.' So that was the perfect response for me."
Adelealso tellsJames that fans shouldn’t expect her to be making music forever. “I don’t want to do this forever and also people won’t want me to do it forever,” she says. “[Nobody wants to see me] when I’m 95 or hear me whining or chain-smoking, living like aGrey Gardenscharacter with all my cats, being eaten alive.”
