Steven Tyler: Engaged to Erin Brady (Confirmed)!
Steven Tyler is, in fact, engaged to Erin Brady.
The American Idol judge proposed with a ring made by jewelry designer Loree Rodkin, according to new reports, confirming rumors from earlier in the week.
"Having made Steven's jewelry for so many of the past years it was an honor to be part of his future... with all my love to Steven and Erin," Rodkin told Us.
Tyler has been a fan of Rodkin's work for many years.
Steven Tyler and Erin Brady have been together five years.
Rumors of the engagement started circulating when the American Idol judge and his 38-year-old girlfriend were snapped in Hawaii with Brady flashing the rock.
On Wednesday Tyler's rep had "no comment" when asked whether the 63-year-old was tying the knot for the third time. But it's 99.9% confirmed at this stage.
Tyler was married to clothing designer Teresa Barrick from 1998 to 2006, and to Cyrinda Foxe from 1978 to 1987. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Verizon keen on making major changes in January, it seems
It really doesn't seem that long ago, but with today's news that Verizon will be charging an extra $2 a month for some methods of bill payment starting Jan. 15, 2012, we got to thinking about some of the bigger changes we saw in 2011 -- and exactly 366 days before this latest move takes effect. To wit:
- We broke the news nearly two weeks early that Verizon was going to change its upgrade policy so that you'd have to wait through 20 months of a two-year contract before being eligible for a hardware update -- seven months longer than was the previous policy.
- And we also broke the news that return windows would shrink from 30 days to 14 days -- from a month to two weeks.
And both of those major changes came on Jan. 16. That's not really a great surprise -- start of the year and all. But does anyone want to do some doomcasting and predict what Verizon customers will lose come January 2012?
