The tents at Bryant Park are being disassembled, and socialites everywhere are getting a foot rub. New York Fashion Week has come to a close.
This season brought bright colors and bold prints and even brighter, bolder celebrities.
From Lady Gaga performing at the Marc Jacobs afterparty to Mickey Rourke ogling "fat" models, stars—and the swarm of aggressive photographers that followed them—couldn't be avoided. So, we did what we do best. We mingled with them!
Taylor Swift told us what she thought of the Tommy Hilfiger show, Mad Men's January Jones explained Jon Hamm's appeal, and Emily Blunt talked about her hands (you know, the ones with the big rock from John Krasinski). And that's just the tip of the very swanky iceberg.
John Krasinski Engages Emily Blunt!
Talk about life imitating art.
There must be something in the water over at The Office because not only are Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly finally tying the knot, Jenna Fischer is also prepping to walk down the aisle for a second time. And to top it all off, John Krasinski is also gearing up to swap vows with his ladylove, Emily Blunt.
Reps for the superprivate pair tell E! News: "We can confirm that John and Emily are engaged."
The couple began dating in November 2008 and have kept much of their romance under wraps, arriving separately to awards shows and spending down-low downtime together in Los Angeles.
Before finding each other, The Devil Wears Prada star dated crooner Michael Bublé for three years, while Krasinski was linked to former Office costar Rashida Jones.
All right, Dunder Mifflin, who's next? If Ryan and Kelly hook up again, are we going to hear about Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak engagements, too? We can only hope...

Seth Rogen and James Franco have taken the pineapple express to Oscar credibility.
As if expanding the Best Picture nominee pool and potentially nixing the Best Song category wasn't enough to modernize the usually staid Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, surely its welcoming of cinema's preeminent bong jokesters is.
Rogen and Franco are two of 134 new artists and movie industry executives who have been extended invitations to join the Academy and, in doing so, secure voting rights for all future Oscar ceremonies beginning in 2010.
The smokin' Pineapple Express duo are joined by fellow Judd Apatow repertory players Michael Cera, Paul Rudd and Jane Lynch, along with Casey Affleck, Viola Davis, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Taraji P. Henson, James McAvoy, Tyler Perry, Danny Boyle, Emile Hirsch, Michelle Williams, Amy Ryan, Slumdog soundtracker A.R. Rahman, Peter Gabriel, Tom Cruise's producing partner-in-crime, Paula Wagner, Milk man Dustin Lance Black and Mr. Oscar himself, Hugh Jackman.
Rise 'n' Shine: New Jonas Brothers Video Takes Flight
• The new Jonas Brothers video for "Fly With Me" has landed on the Internet and features some stellar choreography. Joe may not be reprising his "Single Ladies" moves, but that stuff he does with the hat? Spectacular.
• Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson might be back together again. Given all the house calls, were they ever really apart?
• Even after starring in The Hangover, Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha don't have very effective morning-after cures for a long night of drinking.
• Looks like we won't be seeing Hugh Laurie on Broadway anytime soon, unless Elton John develops House: The Musical. Hey, it could happen!
• Susan Boyle is back in Scotland with her cat, Pebbles. Of course she has a cat named Pebbles.
• The bromance between Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott has taken a major turn for the worse, but picturing Amy Adams and Emily Blunt palling around makes us feel much better about it.
• Dear Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams: You crazy newlyweds actually put together a pretty neat duet. Nice work. Love, Rise 'n' Shine
If only Reese Witherspoon had lent Bret Michaels that helmet she's wearing in Big Pic, the Tonys afterparties would have been much more eventful.
We'll protect you almost as well as that helmet if you follow us on Twitter @eonline!
Rise 'n' Shine: Real Housewife Jill Zarin Is a Real Relationship Guru
• Jill Zarin from Real Housewives of New York City is quite the relationship adviser. "Marry someone you'd want to be divorced from," she says. Newly single LuAnn de Lesseps may have had that in mind when she hit the town the other night.
• Devil Wears Prada vixen Emily Blunt supposedly wants to be on Dancing With the Stars really badly. Hopefully boyfriend John Krasinski will advise against it.
• Looks like there might be some trouble in Rosie O'Donnell's rosie relationship.
• Britney Spears gives Edmonton one of her special impromptu treats.
• In today's important Robert Pattinson news, the stud likes spaghetti and meatballs.
