Rocker ROD STEWART’s son SEAN has asked girlfriend CALEIGH PETERS to marry him.
Sean, 26, proposed to his latest love - the adopted daughter of movie producer Jon Peters - after realising the 18-year-old was with him for much more than his celebrity status.
He says, "I’m engaged. I have found one girl who made me feel a certain way inside, so I proposed.
"A lot of girls over the years have been after me because of who I am, who my dad is, because the family has money. But my girlfriend doesn’t care about that because she comes from the same sort of background and money that I come from." But Sean, who was the only one of Rod’s children not to attend his Saturday (16Jun07) wedding to Penny Lancaster, is in no rush to set a date for his own big day.
He adds, "We’ll see how it goes." Sean was recently charged with assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism following an April (07) incident in which he is accused of attacking two people who were sitting in a car. The reality TV star and his friends were denied entry to a Hollywood Hills party and it is alleged they threw rocks and hurled trash at guests as they left the bash.

Actress TEA LEONI is convinced her sexy husband DAVID DUCHOVNY’s best is yet to come - because she’s always found 50 and 60 something men a huge turn-on.
The Fun With Dick & Jane star celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary with 46-year-old Duchovny last month (May07) and insists she’s still madly in love with her second husband.
Leoni firmly believes her man will just get sexier as he gets older.
She says, "I find older men attractive. I said to my husband, who is turning 47 in August, `You’re almost there.’ "He’ll get really sexy when he’s 50. At 60 he’ll be hot. Who wants to lay down with a plebian? I think you want to be with someone with experience and confidence and who has worked out the kinks elsewhere."

LATEST: Celebrated author SALMAN RUSHDIE’s knighthood has been condemned by the country that issued a fatwa against him in 1989.
The writer was feted in British monarch QUEEN ELIZABETH II’s Honours List last week (ends15Jun07) but the accolade has been slammed by Iran as "a blatant example of the anti-Islamism of senior British officials".
The country took offence to Rushdie’s Muslim references in controversial 1988 work The Satanic Verses, and put a bounty on his head a year later.
Now Iran’s Foreign Ministry has expressed astonishment the novelist has been celebrated for his alleged blasphemy.
Spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini says, "Giving a medal to someone who is among the most detested figures in the Islamic community is… a blatant example of the anti-Islamism of senior British officials.
"The measure that has taken place for paying tribute to this apostate and detested figure will definitely put British statesmen and officials at odds with Islamic societies, the emotions and sentiments of which have again been provoked."

The movie adaptation of cult TV soap DALLAS is back on, a month after the project’s star LUKE WILSON announced the venture was all but dead.
A series of reported behind the scenes bust-ups and casting issues, which led to JENNIFER LOPEZ quitting the film, threatened the film production.
But John Travolta, who will play roguish J.R. Ewing in the film, refuses to let the project die.
He says, "I’m meeting with a director I won’t name and I think they (producers) want to start in the New Year." A month ago (May07), Wilson, who is slated to play Ewing’s brother Bobby in the film, said, "I think it was the big budget and the cast that complicated matters. It just got too complicated. If they could get it up and running again, great, but it seems to have run its course for the moment."
