Beyonce Showed Her Support For Obama In A Glittery Way

Badges, T-shirts, mugs, buttons and caps are just a few examples of merchandise you can buy to show your support for Obama 2012.

But Beyonce went a step ahead by wearing a pair of earrings spelling the President’s second name.

The large dangling hoops were designed by Puerto Rican Jewelry designer, Erika Pena who told TMZ that she has sold over 1,300 pairs since the songstress was snapped with them.

Like many others if you also think that the key letter of the democratic leader’s name is missing, then we would like to bring your attention towards the circular shape of the hoop which here stands for the first letter – O BAMA.

The Grammy awards winner is a vocal supporter of the President and she never missed a chance to show that. She has often attended and performed at dinners and benefits the President has put on. And not to mention but the Dream Girls actress always use her fashionista senses to show her support.

Earlier she painted letters of Mr. Obama’s second name on each nail and now the glamorous earrings are a step further in promoting the first black president of American history.

Bobbi Kristina & Her 'Engagement Ring' at the Premiere of Her Reality Show

Sometime the engagement rings create quite an uproar. We all may wonder why to pay so much attention to a piece of this small piece of jewelry. But trust us everyone notices the small sparkler in the finger that speak a lot about our taste and class. If you don’t believe us here is a recent incident where the ring on the Bobbi Kristina’s finger is creating quite a hullabaloo.

Though, the reason for all the chaos about this ring is not because there is any fault with the ring. Rather it is a really beautiful sapphire engagement ring and resembles the royal engagement ring that adorns the finger of Duchess Kate Middleton. But it is the romance between Bobbi Kristina Brown and fiancé Nick Gordon that has been condemned by her upset family as 'unacceptable'.

However, the daughter of Whitney Houston did not seem to be affected by these criticisms she happily posed with her fiancé at the premiere of new reality show. This show called ‘Houstons: On Our Own’ will be showing her family is coping with the untimely demise of her mother and its aftermath.

Another question surrounding this beautiful gemstone ring is that if it really a bought by her beau Nick or it is just a part of her mother’s jewelry collection. One reason why the whole family is against this match is that both Bobbi Kristina and Nick grew up as brother and sister at her mother’s house though Whitney never officially adopted Nick.

However, it was heartwarming to see that on Monday the family had put their disagreements aside and attended the launch as a family. Even Whitney's mother Cissy was seen smiling as she posed with her granddaughter at the event.

You can watch this family drama on Lifetime as The Houstons premiere son October 24.

Jennifer Aniston’s Engagement Ring

Jennifer Aniston’s engagement ring is the latest topic of town since we got the first glimpse of it.

And did we mention it is a huge diamond piece, a real HUGE diamond.

It was almost two months when Justin Theroux proposed Jennifer after a year of dating. And though paparazzi have tried a lot to get the glimpse of the ring, they were unsuccessful until Saturday when the actress and her man were spotted in Santa Fe, New Mexico. While they were sharing some sweet moments, the shutterbugs got the first glimpse of the ring. And in few minutes it went everywhere like a viral.

After viewing the bling we could say that the wait was worth. According to the assumptions made by Peter Meksian, CEO and designer at Michael M for E! Online, the ring is an 8-9 carats radiant cut diamond ring with an estimated price tag of $500,000.

In an another guess by Chris Capri of Capri Jewelry Inc. the ring is a ‘classic looking yellow gold custom solitaire ring in 12 to 18 carat range.’

Certainly Jen has a special liking for large rings for her previous engagement ring from Brad Pitt was also big and beautiful. Also the spiral custom designed diamond ring tagged $500,000.

Check out both the rings and tell us which one is a better proposal bauble.

Is it the Wedding Ring that we see on Maria Shriver’s Finger

Every time we see a ring on Maria Shiver’s wedding ring finger speculations run wild that she is reconciling with her husband. Recently she was spotted with a large bauble on her ring finger while leaving a restaurant along with her eldest daughter Katherine. This again gave rise to reconciliation rumors and some critics feel that this time it may be true as probably Shiver is having a change of heart.

The reason for this change could be the statement of her apologetic ex-husband Arnold Schwarzenegger on lastTuesday where he had said that she was his one true love. Only a couple of days later on Sunday, the Peabody-winning brunette seemed to be in good spirits as she was seen having a good time during Malibu outing with her two daughters.

It has been a little over a year since Maria filed for divorce in July 2011. She had been the wife of former Governor of California for 25 years but decided to end the marriage when her 65-year-old husband admitted he had fathered a love-child with their longtime housekeeper, Mildred Baena.

These days Schwarzenegger is busy promoting his new memoir, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story. This book lists out his various indiscretions while he was still married to Shiver. But in this book the Austrian-born actor has also written that onecan call this denial, but that is the way his mind works and that he is still in love with Maria.

The muscle-man, shares four children with Shriver and though the divorce proceedings are still on but he is hopeful that Maria and he can come back together as husband and wife and as a family with their children.

The bauble on Maria Shriver’s finger is really big and impressive and if you want something bold and impressive for your engagement check out the The Hilton Ring at Angara.com. This emerald cut aquamarine and diamond ring is really out of this word and if the reviews of this ring are to be believed it will definitely win you many compliments.

Please share your views about this ring and also what do you think Shriver should forgive her husband or not.
