Uma Thurman is apparently engaged.
The “Kill Bill” and “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” actress will marry financier Arpad “Arki” Busson, according to a report Friday in the New York Daily News.
The pair apparently began dating last summer after attending a private dinner together in Milan, Italy. Busson surprised Thurman with the ring this week in London, where the couple attended the 90th birthday party for Nelson Mandela, according to the Daily News.
It would be the third marriage for the 38-year-old Thurman, who has a son and daughter with ex-husband Ethan Hawke, whom she divorced in 2003. Thurman was previously married to actor Gary Oldman.
Busson has two sons with supermodel Elle Macpherson, from whom he split in 2005.
No wedding date was announced.
Tyler battles addiction
Steven Tyler sought the “safe environment” of rehab last month to recover from more than just surgery — the Aerosmith frontman now says he grew dependent on pain and sleep medication.
“To have your feet done, to have your leg done, you have to be on narcotics,” Tyler said Friday. “You have to be on sleep aids at night. I don’t know about Joe (Perry), but I was off and running and I didn’t like the me that was me.”
Tyler released a statement in late May saying he checked into a rehab facility in search of a “safe environment” to recover from several foot surgeries.
The 60-year-old completed rehab in 1986, after which Aerosmith enjoyed a revival.
Studdard plans to wed
Former “American Idol” Ruben Studdard is getting ready for a weekend wedding in his home state of Alabama.
Studdard, nicknamed the “Velvet Teddy Bear” on “Idol” for his big frame and sonorous voice, will marry Surata Zuri McCants, his girlfriend of two years, at the Canterbury United Methodist Church in Mountain Brook today.
He met his bride-to-be during a CD-signing at a Wal-Mart store in Atlanta in October 2006. The 29-year-old singer says he was struck by McCants’ beauty and later tracked her down in the toy department and asked for her telephone number.
