Jessica Simpson: Fiance Hid Ring "In A Shoe"

Jessica Simpson's fiance Eric Johnson was super-sneaky planning his Nov. 11 proposal.

As Simpson, 30, explained during a Tuesday appearance on the Jimmy Fallon Show, Johnson, 31, was in cahoots with her parents Joe and Tina and her little sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz about the impending moment.

"He had talked to my dad, he had talked to my mom, he even talked to my sister. Everybody knew but me!" Simpson said, adding her family kept the secret "for about three weeks."

As for her $150,000 ring? "He kept the ring hidden in a shoe at my house," the star said of the Neil Lane bauble, a 5-carat ruby (Simpson's birthstone) flanked by 3-carat diamonds.

When he finally popped the question, "It was at my house," Simpson said. "It was romantic that he actually asked me at my house, because that's my little safe haven."

The star will be spending Thanksgiving in NYC with her hubby-to-be -- and, for the first time, the native Texan will be doing it vegan style to please her health-conscious man.

"For Thanksgiving we have to make a Tofurkey!" Simpson said. "It doesn't sound right! It's gonna be jiggly and weird."

Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson Are Engaged!

Jessica Simpson is off the market!

Sources confirm to Us Magazine that the singer, 30, became engaged to beau Eric Johnson on Thursday, just days after Us broke the news that her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, popped the question to Vanessa Minnillo, his love of nearly five years. Simpson and Lachey, 37, split in 2005, after three years of marriage.

On Saturday, Simpson flashed a sizable ring on her left hand during an appearance at Dillard's at Oak Park Mall in Kansas City.

The Texas native began dating the former NFL player in May while he was estranged from his first wife, stylist Keri Johnson; their divorce was finalized five months later.

Though Ashlee Simpson-Wentz recently told Us that her sister "is happy, so we're all really happy," sources insist that most of Simpson's friends are concerned about Johnson's motives for dating the singer.

"Eric was never that successful in the NFL, but he's always wanted the celebrity lifestyle," a source told Us in October. "Her friends do not trust him."

Are Whitney Port & Lo Bosworth: Brides-To-Be?

Whitney Port and Lo Bosworth may have not hung out much on The Hills, but both could have a possible engagement in the near future.

Lo mention that her beau, Scott Hochstadt is getting ready to propose and is asking for a 3.5 karat diamond in a round or emerald and a very simple band.

Whitney also says that she would not be surprised if she and beau, Ben Nemtin, got engaged in the next six months, friends say her beau fits her like a glove.

Whitney and Lo seem to be in a rush to get married unlike their BFF Lauren Conrad who does have a boyfriend but is in no rush to get to the alter.

There is that possibility that Whitney and Lo need another occupation in their busy lives because both do not have TV shows anymore and are in need of quick fulfillment.

Nothing is certain on whether this is a long term answer for the two former Hills stars, but at least Lauren's got enough career aspects on her plate to wait and be married.

Vanessa Minnillo Shows Off Engagement Ring

Yes, diamonds really are a girl's best friend!

A beaming Vanessa Minnillo proudly showed off her gorgeous engagement ring Thursday in Mexico where she's vacationing with fiance Nick Lachey and some pals.

The ring is an Asscher-cut diamond with baguettes from Bader & Garrin.

"We're excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together," the couple announced in a joint statement after word leaked of their impending nuptials.

Lachey, 36, popped the question in traditional form to Minnillo, 29, last Thursday.

On his Twitter page Friday, Lachey wrote: I popped the question on bended knee. I do a lot of squats so my knees are very strong.

The couple began dating in 2006, a year after he split from wife Jessica Simpson.

Lachey and Minnillo broke up for a while last year before reuniting.

No wedding date has been announced.

Interesting fact: Lachey and Minnillo share the same birthday; on Tuesday, November 9th, she turns 30 while he turns 37.

Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minnillo Are Engaged!

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are engaged, reps for both stars tell Us Magazine exclusively.

"We're excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together," the couple tells Us in a statement.

"They're so happy, doing great," a source adds. "Thrilled about it."

According to another source, Lachey proposed with an Asscher-cut diamond with baguettes from Bader & Garrin.

"I popped the question on bended knee," Lachey tweeted Thursday. "I do a lot of squats so my knees are very strong."

The two began dating in 2006, following his highly-publicized divorce from Jessica Simpson.

Though they briefly split last summer, they got back together a short time later.

The True Beauty host recently told Parade their relationship has lasted all this time because they openly communicate.

"You have to talk through everything," she said. "We talk daily about things that upset us. It's about having a sounding board because if you hold in all your thoughts, dreams, anger and anxiety than you're only hurting yourself."

She said they have no plans to do a reality show a la MTV's Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, which caused strain in Lachey's relationship with Simpson, 30.

Chatting on Good Day Philadelphia last year, the Sing-Off host -- whose show was just renewed for a second season -- said he was "happy" with Minnillo, whom he described as "a very smart girl. She's far smarter than I!"

Lachey and Minnillo have another reason to celebrate: They both have birthdays Nov. 9.

Lachey will be 37; Minnillo, 30.
