Love was in the air for one celebrity couple this long Valentine’s weekend. After several years and two kids together, former celebutante Nicole Richie and long-time boyfriend Joel Madden announced their engagement on David Letterman’s show. While the couple has been engaged for quite some time, they’ve managed to keep it a secret thanks to close-lipped friends and family. Do you think that this will put an end to all of the tabloid break-up rumors?

Mitt Romney , on the other hand, was not feeling the love yesterday. He and his wife were returning from the Vancouver Olympics yesterday when a fellow airline passenger tried to punch the former Massachusetts governor after Romney asked him to return his seatback to the upright position prior to takeoff. The plane returned to the gate and the passenger was removed.
