Yvette Prieto and Michael Jordan : Engaged!

A publicist for Michael Jordan has confirmed a report first released by WCNC in Charlotte: he proposed this week to long-time girlfriend Yvette Prieto... and she said yes!

The greatest basketball player to ever live and the Cuban/American model have been dating for three years and the engagement took place over Christmas weekend. No wedding date has been set.

Jordan, the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats has three kids with Juanita Vanoy. They were married in September 1989 and got divorced in 2006.

Scarlett Johansson was born in New York City to Melanie Sloan (of Polish descent) and Karsten Johansson (of Danish descent). Scarlett showed a passion for acting at a young age and starred in many plays. She has a sister named Vanessa Johansson, a brother named Adrian, and a twin brother named Hunter Johansson born three minutes after her.

She began her acting career in 1994 starring as "Laura Nelson" in North (1994). In 1998, the acclaimed film The Horse Whisperer (1998) brought Johansson critical praise and worldwide recognition. Following the film's success, she starred in many other films including the critically acclaimed cult film Ghost World (2001) and then the hit Lost in Translation (2003) with Bill Murray in which she again stunned critics. Later on, she appeared in Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003).

In 2003, she was nominated for two Golden Globes, one for drama (Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)) and one for comedy (Lost in Translation (2003)). She dropped out of Mission: Impossible III (2006) due to scheduling conflicts. Her next film role was in The Island (2005) alongside Ewan McGregor which earned weak reviews from U.S. critics.

Catalina Robayo told to put some panties on

When you're competing against 88 other beautiful women from around the world, sometimes it takes subtly drastic measures to be memorable. And sometimes you forget to pack your underwear.

Miss Colombia Catalina Robayo is currently in Sao Paulo, Brazil to compete in the Miss Universe pageant on Monday, Sept. 12. And she's doing everything she can to keep cool. According to several sources, the 22-year-old has made several pageant-related appearances wearing short skirts with nothing underneath. And there's photos.

"There were several girls in short dresses which is a little concerning, but then I saw [Robayo's] picture on the front page of one of the local papers and was very, very surprised," Paula Shugart, the president of the Miss Universe Organization, tells FOX411. "One of our PR people spoke to her and apparently she said she was wearing underwear."

Miss Colombia isn't the only one who got slap on the wrist over wardrobe though. The official bikini bottoms for the televised swimsuit portion of the pageant all had to be returned to the designer as well to have more fabric added to them.

"They sent us the first round of competition suits and being by a Brazilian designer they were definitely a lot smaller than we're used to or most of the contestants are used to," Shugart says.
