Singer Monica just got engaged to L.A. Laker Shannon Brown, a source confirms to UsMagazine.com.  To prove it, she flashed her enormous engagement ring on Twitter over the weekend.

The “Boy Is Mine” chanteuse, 29, met Brown, 24, this summer when he played her love interest in the video for her song “Love All Over Me.”

Her whirlwind romance with the basketball star isn’t unlike the speedy match of Khloe Kardashian and Brown’s team mate Lama Odom, who tied the knot after just a month of dating.

“We realize people will have their opinions,” Monica Tweeted. “That’s the way of the world.But we know who we are&who’s we are.”

She acknowledged her “real supporters who are happy for me. I thank u, I love u, & I’m realistic enough about life”

The star has had her share of serious romantic tragedy: her childhood sweetheart committed suicide in front of her, and another beau, rapper C-Murder, is now in jail for a a murder conviction.

She and longtime beau Rodney “Rocko” Hill broke off their engagment several months ago. They have two sons together: Rodeny, 5, and Romelo, nearly 2.

http://www.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/articles/36401-rapper-ti-to-return-to-prison-for-11-months/1287176038_ti-290.jpgT.I. has had a dramatic week of ups and downs.

On Friday, two days after he talked a suicidal man down from an Atlanta skyscraper, the rapper, 30, was sent back to jail for more 11 months for violating the terms of his probation, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. The rapper left prison this past March after a yearlong stay on federal weapons charges.

Last month, T.I. (real name: Clifford Harris) and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle were arrested in L.A. after cops discovered marijuana in their car.  At the time, the hip-hop star was on probation related to his earlier prison stay.

Police in the September bust charged the star for possessing ecstasy, testing positive for opiates and associating with a convicted felon.

On Thursday, T.I. told UsMagazine.com that he was humbled by his help in saving a despondent man from suicide. “I can’t say it’s the most heroic thing that I did,” he told Us.  “It may have been one of the most spiritual moments that I’ve had.”

“Life can send you down very, very, very dark roads,” the star added. “It’s not always pleasant and it seems unlivable even at times.”

These days, Alicia Keys is in a motherhood state of mind.

The singer and her husband, Swizz “Kaseem Dean” Beatz, “joyfully welcomed their first child,” son Egypt Daoud Dean, on Oct. 14 in New York City, reps for the couple confirm in a statement to PEOPLE.

This is the couple’s first child, though Egypt “is welcomed by Beatz’s three other children,” the statement adds.

Keys, 29, and Beatz, 32, are not only new parents together – they are also newlyweds. The singer and the rapper-producer were married in a private ceremony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in July. At the time, the two didn’t know the gender of their child, but Swizz Beatz said they were excited to start a family together.

“Whatever we’re blessed with, that baby is being born to blessed parents,” he told PEOPLE at the time. “Alicia is definitely one of those great parents-to-be. She’s super ready. Super glowing. Super happy.”

On Thursday night, he seemed to be in a reflective mood, Tweeting, “I’m so thankful for everything I been blessed with in my life.”

Pin-thin stylist Rachel Zoe is pregnant, the new Us Weekly reports.

“It’s very hush-hush,” a source says of the fashion maven, 39, who is ­expecting her first child with husband of 12 years Rodger Berman. “She’s telling people she can’t travel,” notes the insider.

And a witness says that at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic event in L.A.’s Pacific Palisades area on Oct. 10, Zoe only imbibed water with lemon, while Berman sipped champagne.

The news even brought out well-wishes from her former costar, Brad Goreski, though it’s been reported they’re feuding.

“We’re still close,” he tells Us, without confirming the pregnancy. “I hope to be in the delivery room!”

http://www.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/articles/36325-matt-damon-is-having-another-girl/1286912616_luciana-damon-290.jpgHe’s being outnumbered!

Matt Damon and wife Luciana Barrosa are expecting another girl, E! News reports. The Oscar-winning actor, who turned 40 last week, and Barrosa already have two daughters, Isabella, 4, and Gia, 2, as well as Barrosa’s daughter, Alexis, 11, from a previous relationship.

Their new baby is due next month.

Damon — who quietly wed Luciana in 2005 — has credited his kids with keeping him grounded in Hollywood.

“It’s pretty easy to kind of lose your way… having kids is really helpful,” he once told Parade magazine. “They kind of disabuse you of the notion of your greatness pretty quickly. There’s a routine that you get into with kids that precludes you from going back to your single days. I’m probably more boring than I used to be. I go to bed earlier and I get up earlier.”

It’s a bad week for celebrity unions: Christina Aguilera and husband Jordan Bratman are another couple in the “split” category.

“Yes they are separated,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. “Right now they’re just trying to figure things out. There are no divorce proceedings at this point.”

The couple, whose only child, son Max, was born in Jan. 2008, are committed to raising him together and remaining friends.

“They have their ups and downs like all married couples. They argue like everyone else,” a source told PEOPLE a couple of months ago.

Aguilera, 29, and Bratman, 33, wed in California’s Napa Valley in Nov. 2005, after getting in engaged in Carmel, Calif., in February of that year.

At the time, the singer recounted the romantic proposal, which took place in a hotel room filled with rose petals, red and pink balloons and gift boxes, each containing a present and a self-penned poem.

“When I got to the last box, there was a ring in it,” Aguilera told PEOPLE at the time. “He got down on one knee and said, ‘Will you do me the honor of being my wife?’ I’ve been floating ever since.”
