NBA's Jeff Withey Engaged to Playmate GF ... Who Busted Him for Cheating
Talk about turning things around ... the NBA player who was called out by his hot Playmate girlfriend on Instagram for allegedly cheating on her ... is now engaged!
You know the story ... 2014 Playboy Playmate of the Year, Kennedy Summers, hijacked Jeff Withey's account back in June and posted a "gotcha" style message -- saying she caught him lying to her.
"I cheated on this girl. I told my girlfriend I was going to the movies alone last night and then she found this receipt. I also shouldn't have given her my Instagram password like a dumbass."
She also posted pics of the movie ticket receipts. Oops.
But somehow, Withey got himself OUT of the dog house -- and yesterday, the Utah Jazz player proposed to Summers with a massive diamond ring.
She said yes!
Withey (we think it was Withey) went to his Instagram and wrote, "Through thick and thin, you're my best friend @misskennedys I love you. Can't wait to spend my life with you. #engaged."
Congrats -- don't screw it up.

Richie Sambora I'm the Best Wedding Singer ... In Bon Jovi (Sorry, Jon)
Richie Sambora just beat Jon Bon Jovi in a game of wedding singer.
We just got this video of former JBJ lead guitarist Richie strumming the band's classic, "Livin' On a Prayer" at his nephew Shane Ahern's L.A. wedding. You might think a rocker of Sambora's caliber would shy away from this sorta thing ... but he's sooo into it.
We're told the DJ provided the guitar, but the whole thing was unrehearsed. The woman singing with Sambora is Orianthi, who's currently touring with him.
You might recall Jon had a similar sitch while attending a wedding last week -- but unlike Richie, he had to be strongly nudged into belting out the same tune.
Check out both vids ... we're giving Sambora a narrow victory, based purely on enthusiasm.

Ciara & Russell Wilson Wedding Castle Features Eagles, Owls and Pigs
Ciara and Russell Wilson had a wedding fit for a king and queen in a castle that RENTED for tens of thousands of dollars.
TMZ broke the story ... the couple got hitched Wednesday at the 48-room Peckforton Castle, about an hour outside of Liverpool.
We did some digging, and found during high season, the digs rent for somewhere between $38k and $45k. We're guessing it may have been priced at the low end since the ceremony was on a Wednesday.
Other medieval extras ... a golden eagle greets wedding guests for $500, and $200 will get you an owl to fly the wedding rings to the altar.
The food is, well, very English -- duck, dingley dell piglet and beef "reared on the fells of Cumbria and dry aged for a minimum of 28 days."
No word of any jousting. All hail the Wilsons.

London Pride Cop Proposal No Happy Ending For Ex-Boyfriends
Two guys who had to watch their ex-boyfriends' marriage proposal go viral ... are now crushing the dreams of Internet cupids, proving fairy tales do NOT come true, usually. Deal with it.
The guys, Matt and Jacob, became a thing on social media when they tweeted about the proposal that went down during London Pride.
If you missed it ... a London cop (Matt's ex-fiance) stopped in the middle of the parade, got down on one knee and asked his bf (Jacob's ex) to marry him. The proposal was shared more than 15 million times on Twitter, so Matt and Jacob quickly caught wind ... and couldn't resist tweeting.
Jacob and Matt tell us they were flooded with comments from people who thought it would be poetic justice if they got together -- but Matt says he has a new BF, so he's not looking.
They say they did exchange DMs, but simply to discuss their exes' engagement. Jacob says he'd be down to grab a pint with Matt, but that's it.
See? Rom-Coms really do ruin the world.

Mariah Carey The Second Nick Signs I'm Getting Hitched
Mariah Carey has been coy about when she might marry James Packer ... but we're told they now want to seal the deal as soon as the ink is dry on her final divorce docs.
As we've been reporting, Mariah has been pushing Nick Cannon to sign the papers for more than a year, but he won't do it. We're told he hasn't made any money or custody demands ... that's been a done deal for a long time. Mariah's people believe Nick's lawyers are dragging it out for as long as possible.
James has already divorced his wife, so all that's left is Mimi. And one other thing ... our sources say they will have a prenup, but it's unclear if that's been signed.
That said, they want to marry ASAP. Realistically it probably won't happen until August at the earliest, when she wraps up her Vegas gig. They've planned to sail on James' yacht for a month off the coast of Capri, which would be a pretty perfect spot to tie the knot.
As for Nick, if you believe his freestyle, he'll finally sign.
