Rocker Eddie Van Halen is finally going to remarry. The 53-year old music icon has proposed to his 38-year old girlfriend, publicist Janie Liszewski. Apparently, when the rocker and his gal were vacationing in Hawaii this summer, he took her to a private room at a Tiffany’s store and popped the question. How very much like ‘Sweet Home Alabama’. A source says “They are happy, healthy, very much in love and looking forward to living life together forever. They are devoted to each other and to experiencing life in a whole new, positive and passionate way.” The source also says that the couple plans to marry next June.

Australian Idol Dies

Levi Kereama, the wild card contestant on the first season of Australian Idol has passed away, apparently of suicide. Hours after he and his band performed at the Parklife Festival in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens and Riverstage, the 27-year old singer fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Brisbane, Australia. It is believed that Kereama was suffering from depression though nothing is completely certain yet. In the wake of his death, several fan pages have offered their condolences and support, including encouragement to reach out for help. I wish Levi’s family the best during this trying time. And remember, suicide is not the answer.
