Ever since Kelly Brook got engaged to her gladiator famewhore David McIntosh, they’ve been getting pap’d on a daily basis (sometimes multiple times in one day) in LA. Last week she started flashing her engagement ring for the paps too, and the whole thing is so sad and thirsty, I thought I’d help a sister out by writing about her instead of just ignoring her like I did all last week. Here’s what I really don’t understand: if she wanted us to see her ring that badly, why didn’t she just post a ring selfie on her Instagram? Lots of celebrity (and non-celebrity) women do that and it’s a lot less effort than the nonsense happening in these photos. Even worse? UK gossips claim Kelly likely paid for her sad engagement ring herself:

Kelly Brook “probably shelled out” for her own engagement ring. The busty brunette’s beau David McIntosh popped the question last month and she announced the news by posting a snap of her and the former ‘Gladiators’ star holding a balloon with the words ‘Engaged’ emblazoned across the front from her Instagram account.

However, sources allege David is “hardly” romantic and believe Kelly may have paid for the ring since she’s got more money than him. A source told The Sun newspaper: “David proposed without a ring and friends think Kelly probably shelled out for her own. He’s hardly the most romantic man in the world and she’s got far more cash than him.”

However other sources say Kelly dismissed these claims as rubbish – but perhaps the pair went Dutch? Kelly and David – a former royal marine – have had an on/off relationship since they met on New Year’s Eve three months ago and it is believed they “rushed into the engagement”. Although David spent a large amount of time at Kelly’s north London home in the early stages of their romance, the pair reportedly split up shortly after Valentine’s Day.

The source added: “They rushed into the engagement and then realised they needed a ring to prove it’s for real when they got photographed together. Her friends are privately saying they don’t think the romance will last.”

Kelly’s friends are also rushing to the UK tabloids to tell all about how David is a douchebag and how Kelly is so desperate to get married and have babies, she can’t even see how horrible this dude is. I guess that’s possible, but how could THIS dude put any woman in a dong haze? He looks so roidy and gross. Isn’t it far more likely that Kelly just wanted some attention? I doubt this engagement will make it to June.
