Justin Timberlake isn’t the only member of *NSYNC celebrating romance right now! Former bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick has just announced his engagement to girlfriend Karly Skladany.

Chris, 41, tells People magazine that he popped the question to Karly, 28, his girlfriend of two and a half years while on a pre-planned birthday trip to Italy. “We had a hotel room at the Isle of Capri, overlooking the Mediterranean,” he says. “It was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. And it hit me: I wanted to propose to Karly. So I ran to a jewelry store, found the perfect ring and bought it.”

He bought Karly, a marketing rep, a large oval-cut diamond surrounded by several smaller diamonds set in a two-tiered white gold band. After making the purchase, he realized he hadn’t asked her father for permission! “He didn’t answer his phone, so I left him this message like, ‘Um, this is Chris, and I just wanted to talk and ask a few questions.’ I was nervous, which was funny. He called right back and, of course, he gave his blessing.”

He proposed that same day, later in the evening. “We were sitting on the balcony with a bottle of champagne and I put the ring in her glass,” he says with a laugh. “I know it sounds cheesy, but it was romantic. As soon as I asked her, she said, ‘It’s about time!’ And we laughed. It was spur of the moment, but it was absolutely perfect.”

Though the couple haven’t discussed any wedding plans yet, Chris says that he and Karly are happy and will beginning planning soon. “We haven’t set a date yet, but we will soon,” he says. “We’ll figure out exactly how we want our wedding to be. We’re both so happy; this is a really good time for us.”

Congrats to Chris and Karly!

Jake, we, your fans don’t like Vienna Girardi at all! And, now her past has given us even more reason for us to want you to send her home!

Jake Pavelka, please please please stop giving roses to Vienna Girardi on The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love! ABC calls her “Vixen Vienna” for a reason … and not just because of her obnoxious behavior on the show. Vienna has, let’s just say, an interesting , and according to a new report in Us Weekly, she has always lived a scandalous lifestyle! From alleged dalliances through high school and college to reported affairs while her ex-husband fought in Iraq, Vienna’s past plainly paints how she’ll act in the future, in our opinion. Jake, you might want to ask yourself…is this a woman you want to raise your children?

Here’s just a few of the things Us and various sources have learned about your past:

1. She was a Hooters Waitress in Sanford, Fla. in 2007 confirmed by a current employee from that location.
2. Vixen Cheater? In 2005, Vienna eloped with Josh Riley, a United States Marine. While Josh was deployed overseas in Iraq, Vienna allegedly had multiple affairs with his friends and even an Ultimate Fighting Championship referee. “Here Josh is, serving our country, while she’s having sex with someone he knows,” a source said to Us Weekly. But, according to RadarOnline‘s interview with Vienna’s friend, Rachel Todd, Vienna “was working in a bank and living at home, so I find it hard to believe that she would have had time to be dishonest.”
3. “Borrowed” $5,000 from her ex-husband for breast implants? While Josh was also overseas, Vienna decided to get a boob job and used her hubby’s money to pay for it. She even used some of his money to pay for her mom’s tummy tuck and liposuction, too reports Us. RadarOnline also confirmed that Vienna got breast implants, but that she paid for them out of her own pocket.
4. Lied about being engaged to a preacher’s son? Apparently, Vienna was once engaged, but supposedly not to a preacher’s son. Her ex-fiance only went to church, but did not have familial ties to clergy, say reports.
5. Bad best friend? In high school, rumor had it that Vienna slept with her best friend’s boyfriend.
6. Party crasher? Vienna pulled every stunt she could to attract attention to herself. She allegedly, according to Us Weekly, even crashed one of  Chris Kirkpatrick‘s (former N’Sync band member) parties thinking that this would get her a reality TV show gig.
7. Posed nude for a pin-up? We here at HollywoodLife.com reported that Vienna allowed a landscaping company to take nude pics of her for a calender. Thousands of men have seen her wearing nothing but a scarf!

Jake, you’ve preached about wanting to marry a woman with a good set of values. Do you think Vienna fits the bill?
