ENGAGEMENT PHOTO FAB: NBA Baller Dahntay Jones & Fiancé Valeisha Butterfield Get OFFICAL!

Maybe 2 times a charm for Valeisha ButterfieldWe told you before the WEEN chair and daughter of U.S. Congressman G. K. Butterfield and N.C. State Representative Jean Farmer – Butterfield (and BFF of "Love & Hip Hop" chick Emily B.) is now engaged to NBA baller Dahntay Jones.  And they've just released their official engagement photo ahead of their summer wedding.

 

Pic and deets about the couple inside...

Marrying a baller seems even more the thing to do these days.  Valeisha was at one point engaged to rapper Game, but that un-surprisingly didn't work out.  And she's also the ex-girlfriend of BET's Terrence J.

Now, the Indiana Pacers star and Valeisha are getting married at her family's estate in North Carolina this summer.  And they have this fab new engagement photo to boot.

The bride-to-be served in the Obama Administration from 2009 – 2011.  And she's also the co-founder and chair of the Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network (WEEN).

The groom-to-be is a New Jersey native, graduate of Duke University.  He's also the founder of the Dahntay Jones Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to the empowerment of youth.

The twosome snapped their cute engagement photo during a recent trip to Antigua.  Congrats!

Ashley Greene: Back to Work on the West Coast

Stepping out for a morning meeting, Ashley Greene was spotted heading into a local studio in West Hollywood, CA on Tuesday (July 12).

The ?Twilight? beauty looked fit and fine in heels, red skinny jeans and a black sweater as she made her way past the paparazzi while offering up a quick smile and wave.

The sighting comes as Ashley just returned to the west coast after enjoying a trip to Florida, as she tweeted yesterday, "Home Sweet Home back in LA. Back to work."

Meanwhile, it?s no secret that Ms Greene is a Pilates fanatic - and her trainer, Risa Sheppard, recently told Starlounge about Ashley?s body slimming workout.

"Ashley?s body is strong and flexible now," said Risa. "My method is an overall conditioning workout that encourages clients to work with their bodies and to realize their own personal perfection. It combines Pilates, therapeutic exercise, and body awareness.?

"Ashley was very eager to learn how to use her body correctly so as to not have injury as well as to keep her body in tip top shape,? the fitness guru added.

Prince Harry: Florence Brudenell-Bruce new Girlfriend

Prince Harry new girlfriend

The most eligible member of the Royal family appears to be off the market, as Prince Harry and former girlfriend of Formula One racer Jenson Button, Florence Brudenell-Bruce are reportedly engulfed in a budding romance. According to "The Sun," the 26-year-old redhead has taken to numerous secret trysts with leggy swimwear and lingerie model, even spending intimate get-a-ways at her pricey Notting Hill pad. He?s finally moving on from Chelsy Davy, and Prince Harry has chosen a super-hottie with whom to spend his time - Florence Brundenell-Bruce. According to a report, the British Royal and the lovely lingerie model have been seeing each other for a few months, now, though they?ve kept their relationship under wraps. However, when Harry finally declared that his on/off relationship with Chelsy was over for good, news began to break that Florence was his new leading lady. An insider told press, ?It?s very early days but Harry and Florence are an item. She is a lot of fun, blond and very good looking. Harry really likes her.? Ms. Brudenell-Bruce comes from a wealthy family of wine merchants, and has her own $3 million home in Notting Hill, London. The much-talked about twosome met years ago, but have become much more cozy as of recent, following Harry's "final" split with long-time love interest Chelsy Davy. While the palace is yet to confirm nor deny the rumored romance, one unidentified source says the duo are definitely coupling-up, telling the newspaper, "It's very early days but Harry and Florence are an item. She is a lot of fun, blonde and very good-looking. Harry really likes her." [gallery=760]
