Housley popped the question in Venice, Italy, presenting his bride-to-be with a limited vintage design engagement ring by Viraggio.

"I'm beyond thrilled and feel so blessed to have him in my life," Tamera, 32, who starred with Tia in the popular 1990s sitcom Sister, Sister, tells PEOPLE. "Not only is he my love, but also my best friend."

Napoleon Dynamite is going to become an animated series

A cartoon series based on the 2004 comedy film Napoleon Dynamite is in the works and the original cast members, including main actor Jon Heder, are reportedly set to voice their former characters.THE FOX network will air an animated series based on the 2004 indie comedy film Napoleon Dynamite next season.
Jon Heder, who played the title role in the movie about a bullied teenager and his friends in rural Idaho, will provide the character's voice in the series, and the rest of the cast will reunite to voice their characters, Deadline.com reports.
The series was written by Jared Hess and Jerusha Hess - who co-wrote the movie, with Jared Hess directing - and "The Simpsons" executive producer Mike Scully. All three are executive producers on the series.
Fox ordered six episodes of Napoleon Dynamite, as well as seven episodes of another new animated series, Allen Gregory, about a world-famous seven-year-old adjusting to normal life at an elementary school.
It seems only natural, but the network that has changed Sunday night into nothing but primetime animation is turning Utah film favorite "Napoleon Dynamite" into a TV series.
Fox has ordered six episodes of the new animated series, which will feature the movie's original cast for the voices, including star Jon Heder, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The "Napoleon Dynamite" series will be voiced by the original cast of the film, and the original writers and directors, Jared and Jerusha Hess, adapted the movie for television with the assistance of Mike Scully, a veteran of "The Simpsons." So far, though, Fox has only ordered six episodes of the series, something Deadline claims is frustrating to the producers of the show.

David Hasselhoff Performs at Dancing with the Stars

The highlight of the Season 11 premiere episode of Dancing with the Stars came at the very end when cast member David Hasselhoff delivered an open mouthed dance to Tom Jones "Sex Bomb" that may change the way I look at black cars, bouffants, lifeguards and the entire country of Germany.
Let's get the obvious out of the way: Sarah Palin did not show up as long-rumored to cheer on her little girl, Bristol. No matter, the night was every bit as cheery as any smile Ma Palin has ever mustered along the campaign trail.
And let's get the rest of the obvious out of the way: The five most-anticipated dancers were saved, SURPRISE, for the second-half of the evening. These included the aforementioned Bristol, Jennifer Grey, Michael Bolton, MIke "The Situation" Sorrentino and David Hasselhoff. And to no one's surprise they provided some of the biggest laughs and emotional highlights of the night.
Bolton, who found it necessary to remind us that he's a singer, was stiff and disengaged as he flat-footed his way around the ballroom। Partner Chelsie Hightower did as much as she could with his robotic progressions. Call it one big yawner. Their score: 16.

Palin, who started out her routine in a conservative suit a la mommy dearest, quickly shed the suit and a little bit of her inhibitions as she criss-crossed the ballroom to "Mama Told Me Not to Come." No sizzling footwork, though she showed genuine spunk throughout partner Mark Ballas' choreography. She also proved she has no problem navigating the world of spray tans. Score: 18.
The Situation (what a ridiculous moniker, honestly!) was equally ridiculous on the dance floor. Yes, he only had 5 days to rehearse, but for someone who spends such a great deal of his life inside dance clubs up and down the entire east coast, one would think he'd have at least a sense of rhythm. Oh ya, I forgot, he doesn't go to clubs to dance. His partner Karina Smirnoff was obviously dressed in homage to Edyta Sliwinska. Their dismal debut netted a score of 15.

The Video of David Hasselhoff

Jennifer Grey provided the drama tonight, bursting into tears during rehearsals with partner Derek Hough, as she was catapulted back in time to well, you know. We knew it was gbound to happen. But she was genuinely overcome with grief, remembering the late Patrick Swayze. But all was OK when she danced one of the best routines of the night. Her waltz earned her a leaderboard topping 24, and a floodgate of tears from judge Carrie Ann Inaba. And I wondering how many "Dirty Dancing" quips Bruno Tonioli will come up with? Tonight's : "She's back where she belongs."

Ah, and then there was The Hoff. Oh David Hasselhoff. Simon Cowel might have predicted you'd win, but maybe he should have waited until tonight's episode to make that ridiculous proclamation. Judges Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli summed it up quite nicely:
Len: "It's never too early to panic."
Bruno: "It's a pot pourri of insanity."
Couldn't have described it better myself.
Score a generous 15 for The Hoff.
The evening's biggest surprise perhaps was Kyle Massey, the ABC/Disney former child star who set the ballroom on fire with partner Lacey Schwimmer (newly blond and slimmed way down). With a score of 23, he might be the season's trump card.

Audrina Patrdige started things off with a thud (apologies to partner Tony Dovolani). Her routine was boring and her rhythm/movements disengaged from the music and her partner. Score for the former "The Hills" star: a generous 19.

And last but not least, the evening's most bizarre performance, comedienne Margaret Cho. What she and partner Louis Van Amstel delivered was a combination of slapstick gone wrong and wild animals on the prowl. Chalk another one up for Bruno who quipped: "I thought you were going to eat someone." Not sure what her costume was supposed to be about, but it sure looked good on camera. Score: 15.
