Kellan Lutz set hearts aflutter when he was announced as the new face of denim brand Dylan George. And now, he’s making ladies swoon even more by showing off his assets in the just-released photos from the campaign. The fall 2011 ads, shot in Beverly Hills last week with model Anne V. (also a face of the brand) feature Lutz wearing the line’s premium denim as he strolls and laughs with his costar. In addition to serving as the face of the campaign, Lutz will also play the role of designer: the Twilight star teamed up with Dylan George founder Danny Guez to design a 25-piece ready-to-wear menswear line called Abbot + Main by Dylan George, available this August.

Sofia Vergara looks gorgeous no matter where she is: on the red carpet, on Modern Family, on the streets. So it’s only natural that today, she was announced as the newest face of CoverGirl. “It feels amazing,” she tells PEOPLE of the big news. “I’ve always wanted to be a CoverGirl. I always loved seeing the pictures of the campaigns in magazines.” Vergara, who’s addicted to the brand’s LashBlast Volume mascara and Lip Perfection lipstick, says she grew up around cosmetics. “My mother used to do her makeup everyday, and I used to watch her, just fascinated,” she shares. “I’ve always had a very good relationship with makeup; it’s one of my favorite things.” Vergara, who made PEOPLE’s “Most Beautiful” list this year, is also proud to represent Latin women in her new role. “When you grow up, you look up to girls in the magazines, and you never think you’re going to be that pretty, or that well made-up, or that glamorous,” she says. “I love that I have the Latin flavor; Latin girls can relate to me, see what I’m wearing, see my makeup, my hairstyle.” Vergara’s ads will debut in January of 2012; she’ll be representing some new additions to the CoverGirl line. The Modern Family star joins an esteemed roster of current brand spokesmodels, including Queen Latifah, Drew Barrymore, Ellen DeGeneres, Dania Ramirez and Taylor Swift.

All you need is love … but a dazzling ring sure doesn’t hurt. When Paul McCartney proposed to his girlfriend, New York businesswoman Nancy Shevell, he wanted a ring that was “very special, different and rare,” says celebrity jeweler Neil Lane, who worked with McCartney, 68, on picking out the perfect sparkler. “He was very excited and very serious about finding the right one because he wanted something truly exceptional.” McCartney’s choice? A rare 5-plus carat diamond art deco ring from Lane’s archival collection. Set in platinum with a flawless round, central diamond, the ring has strips of black onyx along the sides. “It has a beautiful vintage feel to it,” says Lane. “Very romantic, elegant and glamorous but with a bit of cool glitz and rock and roll.” As for how the proposal went over with Shevell, 51, Lane says, “They’re thrilled and totally in love.” Fun fact: “[McCartney] was walking around with the ring for weeks and he said it was burning a hole in his pocket!” Lane says. “But he was waiting to pop the question at the right moment. They’re truly happy together!” For all the details on the couple’s engagement, check out the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.Elizabeth Leonard

Five years of marriage is definitely cause for a celebration; just ask Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. The lovebirds — currently expecting their third child — toasted their fifth anniversary on Saturday with some super-sweet gifts, including a stunning Art Nouveau Neil Lane ring for Spelling. McDermott worked with Lane — just like he has on every anniversary — to choose the sparkler, presenting it to his wife during a rendezvous. (According to Spelling’s Twitter feed, she built her husband his gift, a wood bench that reads “Grow Old With Me …”) The couple completed their celebration with a shopping trip through L.A., topped off with a nine-course tasting at hotspot Scarpetta and a romantic night in a luxe Hollywood hotel. The next morning, Spelling was fêted again, this time for Mother’s Day: the reality star got a Goyard weekend bag from her hubby, and flowers from kids Liam, 4, and Stella, 2½. Tell us: What’s the best anniversary present you’ve ever received? –Kate Hogan
