 Nearly a decade after her 1999 split from her rocker husband Rod Stewart, Rachel Hunter is ready to marry once again, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. Hunter, 38, was sporting a diamond ring while visiting a school in her native New Zealand with her Canadian ice-hockey player (for the Los Angeles Kings) boyfriend, Jarret Stoll, 26. No wedding date has been set, though Stoll said the proposal was romantic. Also confirming the model and athlete's engagement to local New Zealand station 3 News, Hunter's long-time manager Andy Haden said, "We are all delighted for her." Hunter and Stoll have been together about two years and live in a Los Angeles home they share with Hunter's children by Stewart: Renee, 16, and Liam, 14. (People)
 Jennifer Aniston has reportedly been dumped by her rocker boyfriend John Mayer. The pair became romantically linked earlier this year, with Aniston claiming she was happier than ever with her new beau, stating, "Being in love makes you happy.” But the union appears to have broken down, with the singer telling the Friends actress he can't commit to her, according to tabloid reports. A source tells Britain's the Daily Mirror newspaper, "There's been a bit of tension for some time. They initially opted for a break, hoping a trial split might make them stronger. Sadly it doesn't seem to have worked.” "John took the decision to end things as he felt he just wasn't ready for the level of commitment that Jennifer deserved. Contrary to reports, Jen didn't want to have kids or marry this year, but she did want to set a timetable for their future together.” "Initially Jennifer was furious when he told her of his decision but now she's simply sad - not to mention a little heartbroken.” And the source reveals that a reunion is unlikely. They add, "They have spoken on the phone since the split and are trying to remain on good terms. But unless John has a dramatic change of heart, it's unlikely they'll rekindle their romance.” (Teen Hollywood)
 Socialite Paris Hilton has admitted she wants to lose her "airhead" image. Paris Hilton has said to be taken seriously as a singer and actress she must first lose her "airhead" image. "I think people, from watching The Simple Life where I was playing this airhead, rich brat kind of character - years later, people still picture me like that. Even though I'm completely different from that," she tells Showbiz Spy adding that her role in upcoming film Repo! The Genetic Opera will help to change people's view of her. "Just getting a role like this is huge for me because I always get offered the same role, basically playing myself. But this is different. I had loads of auditions to do - for singing and dancing and acting. Luckily I nailed them all." (Handbag)
 Clay Aiken sure has a lot to sing about lately. The American Idol runner–up's son, Parker Foster Aiken, was born in North Carolina on Aug. 8. And now comes word that the singer will reprise his role as Sir Robin in the Broadway musical Monty Python's Spamalot. Aiken, 29, who performed the role earlier this year from January to May, will perform in the show from Sept. 19 to Jan. 4. According to Variety, Aiken’s initial run in Spamalot "had a noticeable effect on box office. Weekly sales ... surged the week Aiken joined the cast and took a steep tumble ... after he departed."

 Unimaginable tragedy struck the Chapman family the evening of May 21 when their 5-year-old daughter Maria Sue was accidentally killed by an SUV driven by her 17-year-old brother, Will Franklin. "At first you don't even know if you can breathe. You don't know if you are going to survive the grief and the deep, deep, deep sadness," says Grammy-winning Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman, who sat down with his family for an emotional interview with PEOPLE at their Franklin, Tenn., home. "You just want to lay down and die." Wrestling with the pain of his daughter's death and the anguish of the son who was at the wheel, Chapman says, "every lyric I've ever written has been tested beyond what I ever imagined." But the deeply religious family says the loss of Maria, who was adopted from China in 2004 (two more daughters, Shaoey, 9 next week, and Stevey Joy, 5, were also adopted from that country), served to strengthen their belief. "Faith is the only way I can tell myself she's okay. She's safe in the arms of Jesus and she's flyin' around," says Will, who continues, along with other family members, to see a counselor. Steven's wife Mary Beth admits that healing is slow: "I'm broken and I would give anything to have my baby girl back. But that's not going to happen. So I wake up in the morning and make a choice. You can wallow in the deep end or you say, ‘God, show me what you want me to be about today and how can I honor you, and in turn honor Maria.'" Steven, Mary Beth, Will and oldest son Caleb, 18, all have gotten tattoos in honor of the little girl they called 'our laughter'. A photo of Mary Beth's tattoo and more from the family can be found in this week's PEOPLE. (People)
Quick Tips for Organizing Bathrooms
Thursday 08-14-2008 3:17pm CT
 1. Organize Your Medicine Cabinet Make your medicine cabinet a repository of things you need and use regularly, which means chucking any outdated medicines and relocating excess to another location. "The way to achieve a clean countertop is to change the use of the medicine cabinet," says Julie Morgenstern, author of Organizing from the Inside Out (www.juliemorgenstern.com). "They are better used for everyday groomed supplies rather than medicines." Keep like items in their own labeled storage bins underneath the sink or in the linen closet. When you need to use something, slide the whole container out for easy access. You might choose to move medicines into the kitchen, because moisture can ruin them. By creating "active" storage in your medicine cabinet you'll minimize time spent in the bathroom, giving you more time to organize another space in the house!
2. Control Hair Product Clutter Gels, sprays, curlers, combs and hair dryers take up a lot of space in the bathroom. For quick organization, buy a plastic tub for under the sink and load it up with your supplies. As you place them in the tub, evaluate whether you use the product often. If not, donate it to a friend or to charity. When you fix your hair, the whole tub can be taken out and put away without creating a mess.
 3. Add Creative Towel Storage If your towel rack isn’t big enough to hang the family's towels, add hooks to the bathroom. Towel hooks are inexpensive, easy to mount and create a space for each member of the family to hang their towel. No more fighting over whose is whose, plus your bathroom floor will remain dry, not damp.
4. Divide and Conquer Your Makeup Drawers in the bathroom tend to be catch-alls for lots of different containers, most of which badly organize their contents. An expandable cosmetic drawer organizer fits in a shallow drawer and takes the place of bulky cosmetic bags. Different size compartments will organize lipstick, blush and eye shadow so you never have to root around to find what you're looking for. As you organize your makeup, be sure to throw away anything that smells or is expired. Old makeup contains bacteria that can irritate your skin.
 5. Reassess the Shower Caddy It's your best friend when you're in the shower, but is it working for you? Shower caddies that are too small or too large can be a pain, both for cleaning you and your shower. There are plenty of options: from over the showerhead to suction shelves to corner caddies. If you don't have enough room, one solution is to pare down your toiletries (How many bottles of shampoo do you really need?). If you have too much, consider downsizing so you don’t feel like you have to fill up the extra space.
6. Claim the Space Over Your Toilet Even in small bathrooms there's space for organization — you just have to know where to look. Over the toilet bath furniture is a great place to put extra toilet paper, toiletries and even towels. If you don’t keep the toilet seat down, opt for a unit with cabinets or closed shelving. You can find attractive shelving at major home stores, usually for less than $100.
 7. Add Style and Function With Apothecary Jars If you have a lot of counter space, and don't mind leaving things out in the open, invest in some stylish apothecary jars to hold necessities. Q-Tips, cotton swabs, soap and bath salts look great in clear glass containers. These are especially handy when guests use your bathroom because they can help themselves without snooping in your cabinets. Kabobs How-To
Wednesday 07-30-2008 10:34am CT
 • Set out cut-up meat, seafood, and vegetables, and let diners assemble their own kabobs.
• Avoid squishing foods together on the stick. Leave a quarter-inch space between food pieces so the heat can circulate better and crisp all the edges.
• Group foods with similar cooking times on the same skewer. Avoid pairing large chunks of meat with shellfish or quick-cooking fruits or vegetables.• Chill ground meat first so that it's easier to mold onto skewers. To make ground meat kabobs less likely to fall apart into the fire, use flat skewers and refrigerate the molded kabobs for an hour or two before grilling.
• For even cooking, cut foods into uniform-size pieces.
• Slide cut-up fruit and cubes of pound cake or angel food cake on skewers and grill.
Skewer Tips
• Use bamboo skewers or stiff herb stalks for appetizer kabobs. They're safer and easier to handle hot off the grill than metal skewers. • Soak bamboo skewers or stalks in water for 10 to 30 minutes before grilling to minimize scorching. Their exposed handles are still vulnerable to burning, so place uncovered handles near the cooler edges of the fire or use a special picnic grill or a hibachi that is small enough to enable you to leave the ends of the skewers outside of the heating zone. • Use metal skewers for main-dish kabobs, which have larger pieces of food. Their longer size enables you to easily turn more food for faster grilling. • To remove food from skewers, try a method used across Asia. Hold one end of the skewer with one hand and with the other hand grab the food with a piece of pita bread or sheet of lahvosh, like a pot holder. Pull the food off into the bread or onto a plate. Tortillas and buns work equally well.
