Talking points

Mumford and wives?

Carey Mulligan and her Mumford and Sons boyfriend, Marcus Mumford, are reportedly engaged, according to the Sun. “Carey looked like the cat who had got the cream. She was wearing a beautiful ring and didn’t seem to mind who saw it,” says a source who spotted the two at a party at a country estate in southwest England. “They were stuck to each other like glue. She was doing most of the talking and he was hanging on her every word.”

Demi Lovato: An inspiration

Despite the rough two years Demi Lovato has had — including a stint in rehab and announcing she’d suffered from addiction and eating disorders — the Disney star says she’s much more comfortable with fans looking up to her now. “Kids used to tell me, ‘You’re my role model.’ And I’d want to shake them and be like, ‘Why?’” Lovato says, according to Hollyscoop. “I finally feel like I can inspire people. I can be proud of it.”

McQueen cash:?For the dogs

Alexander McQueen certainly wanted to make sure his canine companions were looked after. The late British designer reportedly left a decent chunk of his $26 million estate to his three dogs and two animal charities, according to The Associated Press. McQueen’s will included $82,000 for the care of his three dogs and $164,000 for the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and the Blue Cross, a charity for abandoned animals.
