Meghan Markle's ex-husband is engaged -- not to a member of the Royal Family or anything ... but he's still pretty damn happy about it. TV and film producer Trevor Engelson recently revealed on social media he's getting remarried, as well ... to his health expert gf Tracey Kurland. A friend of Trevor's posted a photo of the newly engaged couple with huge smiles ... and her showing off her ring. Engelson -- an executive producer on FX's "Snowfall" -- married Markle in 2011 after several years of dating ... but they divorced just 2 years later. The reason for their split was reportedly due to Meghan's busy schedule with "Suits" and long distance between them. Like the Duchess of Sussex ... this will be Trevor's second marriage. We're guessing his wedding won't be quite as big of a spectacle as hers, though. (TMZ)

Nikki Bella and John Cena Are Officially Back Together -- Six Weeks After Calling Off Wedding. Nikki Bella and John Cena have rekindled their relationship. More than a month after the pair ended their engagement in mid-April -- just three weeks before their destination wedding -- a source confirms to PEOPLE that the couple is officially back together. "They were always going to find their way back to each other," says the source. "It was never going to be permanent." In the time since Bella, 34, called off their wedding -- a decision that she was "heartbroken" about -- the two wrestlers have been on the road to reconciliation. Following their breakup, both the Total Bellas star and pro-wrestler have been open about their desire to get back together. Bella previously told PEOPLE that she's been in "communication" with the pro wrestler and that they were taking steps to get back together. On May 19, the two were spotted out together for the first since their split. "They're basically back together," a second source close to the situation told PEOPLE at the time. "They never stopped talking. Other than the actual wedding weekend, when they took some space, they have been talking." Sources had previously said that her decision to call it quits was due to their differing stances on marriage and having kids: She wanted a family, but Cena, 41, was hesitant. "This was never really about ending their relationship -- it was about calling off a wedding because something didn't feel right," an insider said. "It was a wedding that was entered into under false pretenses. She was pretending she was okay with not having a kid, he was pretending he absolutely couldn't and wouldn't budge on that point." "They both got a wake-up call once they canceled the wedding, and they both realized they could fix what was broken," the insider added. Although their differing desires played a role in their split, a source close to the couple said that it would only be a matter of time before they reconciled. "She'll take him back, definitely. She loves him, and she knows he loves her desperately," said the source. "They'll get back together and they'll get married the way they always should have: something small, intimate, for only the closest family and friends. Not some huge circus that will spook John or make him feel like he's a performing monkey -- something that can be about just the two of them." Added the source, "The wedding they called off no longer felt like their wedding -- it was a wedding for TV, a wedding for publicity, a wedding for the fans and for viewers almost. That's what made them able to walk away from it -- it didn't even feel like their day anymore, and it was already so tainted by the arguments and bad feelings that lead up to it and during the planning of it. In the end, calling it off is going to be the best thing that ever happened to their relationship." (People)

Joshua Jackson Is Dating Actress Alyssa Julya Smith. Pacey's got a new lady -- but sadly, it's not Joey Potter. Almost two years after splitting from his girlfriend of 10 years, actress Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson has moved on with actress and Cheddar TV host Alyssa Julya Smith, E! News can report. "It's been going on for several months now," a source tells E! News. The insider says that the personality lives in Los Angeles, where she met the former Dawson's Creek star, who has been in New York for his Broadway run of Children of a Lesser God. The two have been long distance, seeing each other when they are both in the same town, but now that the show's ended, the former Fringe star is "expected to be in Los Angeles more." On Saturday, the two were spotted on a date in Manhattan's famed Central Park. In March 2017, Jackson was also spotted getting his kiss on with a mystery brunette during a steamy dinner date in NYC. In December 2016, The Affair actor appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and confessed that his dating game was a little rusty after dating Kruger, who is with Walking Dead's Norman Reedus for a decade. "Things have change a little bit since last time I was single. Maybe it was there, but I don't remember it. I mean, everything's on your phone now, right?" he said. "There's no more talking to people anymore. You talk to somebody and they're like, 'Ugh! No, no, no! We don't do that anymore.'" "So, yeah..." Jackson told Ellen DeGeneres. "It's been quite a big change." Speaking of changing verses staying the same -- if you think Smith bears a striking resemblance to Jackson's former flame, you might not be wrong... (Eonline)

"The best legacy that I can give my mother that everyone can give their parent is to raise a good and decent child," Melissa, 50, told People.

He used to say that all the time!" (PageSix)

Shailene Woodley Nearly Quit Acting Before Big Little Lies. Shailene Woodley never set out to be a star. Woodley began her acting career in 2001, at the age of 10, with a handful of minor television roles. She became a series lead by playing a pregnant high school student on ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and later found success on the big screen in movies like The Descendants, Divergent, The Fault in Our Stars, Snowden and The Spectacular Now. Though she found herself acting opposite living legends like George Clooney and Kate Winslet, she never forgot a promise she made to herself: "When I was 7, I said, 'The day I'm on the cover of a magazine I'm going to quit,' because I never wanted this industry to get in the way of my life." In Net-a-Porter's digital magazine PorterEdit, Woodley reveals the unfinished Divergent film series left her feeling disillusioned. While she "wouldn't change [the films] for the world," she says, "The last one [2016's The Divergent Series: Allegiant] was a bit of a hard experience for everyone, and that was really what made me think I need to have some human experiences outside of this industry and fall in love with acting again, and Big Little Lies did that for me." Big Little Lies marked Woodley's return to TV, and it gave her the opportunity to work with Laura Dern, Nicole Kidman, Zo Kravitz and Reese Witherspoon. "There was a point in my life, right before Big Little Lies, where I had hit a wall with acting. I felt it was time to do something different," Woodley says. "I called my agents and said, 'Please don't send me any more scripts; I need to explore other avenues.' They respected me and didn't send me anything for almost a year until Big Little Lies. I didn't know what it was or who was involved; I just said, 'Thanks, I'm still not interested.'" Her agents persisted, and she "fell in love" with the script. "Laura, who I had worked with on The Fault in Our Stars, called me," she says, "and that was really the push." Woodley, who stars opposite Sam Claflin in Adrift, is still leery about life in the spotlight. Looking back at her transition into a movie star, she says, "The idea of magazines, press lines, red carpets and fashion -- all of that was so overwhelming that I stayed away from it all. I can't half-ass anything, so when it came to me having to look a certain way or speak a certain way for this image I was meant to create, it turned me off. When I wasn't filming I would work on a farm somewhere because that's what I could hold onto that felt real." For example, when she was promoting The Descendants, "I had studios saying, 'You need to dress more cosmopolitan,' which is such a funny word to use for an 18-year-old. I let go of so much of my desire to be creative in that space because I didn't want to be a mannequin for someone to dress up and throw on a red carpet. We often see a pattern with young women in this industry: They lose a bit of weight after they become successful, their hair changes or their skin becomes clear." All that "behind the scenes" drama scared her. "If that's not your thing, [it] can itch at your soul." Her attitude about Hollywood has evolved, in part because of her experience on the Big Little Lies set. Today, Woodley admits, "I have the best job in the world. I could cry talking about it."

Benedict Cumberbatch Is Dubbed a Hero After Saving Man Attacked by Muggers: "I Had to." Benedict Cumberbatch became a real-life "superhero last year. While riding in an Uber with wife Sophie Hunter in London, not far from his Sherlock character Sherlock Holmes' fictional Baker Street home, the actor, also known for roles in Doctor Strange, The Avengers: Infinity War and the new Showtime series Patrick Melrose, noticed outside a food delivery cyclist being attacked by four muggers. The Uber driver told The Sun in comments posted online on Saturday that Cumberbatch jumped out of the car and saved the man. Metropolitan Police told Reuters the attempted robbery took place in November. "I did it out of, well, I had to, you know," The Sun quoted Cumberbatch as saying. The Uber driver, Manual Dias, told the newspaper that he was driving the actor and his wife to a club and didn't recognize him at first. He said they saw four men pushing a Deliveroo cyclist around and that Cumberbatch then jumped out, ran over and pulled the men off. "They turned towards him and things looked like getting worse, so I joined in," he said. "He stood there instructing them in the street, shouting, 'Leave him alone. It was only then I recognized Benedict...I had hold of one lad and Benedict another. He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. He was very brave. He did most of it, to be honest. They tried to hit him but he defended himself and pushed them away. He wasn't injured. Then I think they also recognized it was Be -- ne -- dict and ran away." "He asked the rider how he was and when he said, 'I'm OK.' Benedict just hugged him," Dias said. "The cyclist was lucky, Benedict's a superhero. Benedict was courageous, brave and selfless. If he hadn't stepped in the cyclist could have been seriously injured." Police told Reuters that one of the assailants had attempted to grab the victim's cycle and that the man was then punched in the face, struck on the head and hit with his helmet. He did not require hospital treatment, nothing was reported stolen and no arrests were made, they added. "Thank you Benedict Cumberbatch for your brave actions," the food delivery company said in a statement on Twitter on Saturday. "Deliveroo riders are heroes - their safety is our priority and any violence against them is totally unacceptable. So on behalf of everyone at Deliveroo: thank you." (Eonline)

The Kardashian-Jenners Skip Brody Jenner's Wedding.

Previously, Brody told People that half-sisters Kendall and Kylie had yet to respond to the invitation. "My two little sisters, we never even heard from them.

At the time, Brody told the publication that he did get a response from Caitlyn Jenner but did not elaborate on what the response was. We got that answer. But if they weren't at Brody's wedding, where were they? Well, Friday night Caitlyn was with friend Sofia Hutchins in Vienna, Austria. The reality star attended the LIFE+ Solidarity Gala on Friday night ahead of Saturday night's Life Ball at City Hall in Vienna, Austria. The Life Ball, an annual charity event raising funds for HIV & AIDS projects, was celebrating its 25th anniversary at Vienna's City Hall. People previously reported that Caitlyn would not be at the nuptials because of "work commitments that have been set up for months and couldn't be changed in the end."

Mark Chapman -- the guy who arguably saves Rose's life in "Titanic" when she grabs his whistle off his dead, frozen body -- was arrested for allegedly choking his girlfriend after she dumped him. The incident went down back in March after Tara Pirnia says she ended their 5-year relationship. She also claims Mark -- same guy who lets Cal on the lifeboat with his pretend daughter as the Titanic's sinking -- flew into a violent rage after she asked him to delete intimate material of her on his cell phone ... this according to an affidavit from the Travis County Sheriff's and obtained by TMZ. In the docs, Tara says Mark, who is 20 years her senior, threw her on the ground and used both hands to grab her around the neck and squeeze her throat. She claims he told her, "bitch f*** you, I want you dead." Tara says she bit his hand and he let go. She says he moved to California the next day, but she reported the incident to cops because she fears he's going to kill her and then himself. He was arrested for assault and he's been ordered to stay at least 200 yards away from her. (TMZ)

Harvey Weinstein turned a woman's sales pitch into a full-on sexual assault -- which was captured on video -- and followed it up by raping her in his hotel room ... according to an explosive new class action lawsuit. Melissa Thompson claims she had a meeting with Weinstein at his New York office in September 2011 to pitch her tech company's new video platform to use in the movie biz, but almost immediately he started harassing her. She says there's video evidence of this because her computer's video camera was on for the pitch. According to the suit ... Weinstein at one point reached down and began caressing her leg and moved his hand under her dress and mumbled, "It's fun when you do this." Thompson claims she ignored it and carried on, fearing he would become angry and aggressive if she rebuffed him. Thompson says she went to a follow-up meeting with Weinstein at the Tribeca Grand Hotel later that day hoping to secure the video deal, but the meeting quickly moved to his hotel room ... where he forced himself on her. She claims she escaped and went to the bathroom, but when she came out he was naked from the waist down. According to the suit ... Weinstein tried to force her to perform oral sex on him but she refused, so then he pushed her flat on the bed and raped her. Thompson claims he then masturbated on the bed next to her ... then acted like nothing happened once he was finished. Thompson claims she felt "dirty and ashamed." UPDATE: Benjamin Brafman tells TMZ ... neither he nor his firm ever met with Thompson or any of the other women named in the suit. He says if Alex Spiro met with any of the women he did so on his own time, and not while working with him. Brafman also says Spiro never met with Weinstein while at his firm and had no connection with their representation of Weinstein. (TMZ)

Blues singer Eddy Clearwater dies of heart failure. Chicago bluesman Eddy Clearwater, lauded for his guitar playing and flamboyant showmanship, has died of heart failure. Alligator Records announced Clearwater, 83, died Friday in Skokie, Illinois. Known as "The Chief," Clearwater was born Edward Harrington in Macon, Mississippi.

Clearwater is survived by his wife, Renee, and six children. (PageSix)

A famous psychiatrist who has worked on some notorious cases -- including the murder of JonBenet Ramsey -- has been murdered. Steven Pitt was shot and killed Thursday night outside his office as he was leaving work. Witnesses say they heard a loud argument and then shots rang out. Pitt was involved in the police investigation into the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey. He believed the key to the case was pineapple in JonBenet's digestive tract, which showed she had eaten some not long before she died. However, Patsy Ramsey -- her mother -- had said JonBenet hadn't eaten any of the fruit in the hours before she went missing, but her fingerprints were found on the fruit bowl, leading Pitt to believe someone was covering up. Pitt had also worked on the Baseline Killer case and many others. The suspect is still at large. Cops don't know if the argument and shooting was work-related. (TMZ)
