HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (7-02-09)

KEVIN JONAS IS ENGAGED:

Break this to your daughters gently and prepare for them to be heartbroken: KEVIN JONAS is ENGAGED. (--NOOOOOOO!!!)

Yesterday morning, Kevin showed up at the doorstep of his girlfriend, Danielle Deleasa, in New Jersey . . . and popped the question. And yes, he did indeed get down on one knee.

Kevin says, "She said 'Yes, yes, yes,' like 500 times super fast in a row."

Kevin actually flew to New Jersey from Vancouver, where the JONAS BROTHERS had just performed the previous night. Kevin says, "It was tough performing . . . knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world."

Kevin and Danielle met in May of 2007, while vacationing with their respective families in the Bahamas. At the time, Danielle claims she didn't even know who the Jonas Brothers were. --Kevin is 21 . . . Danielle is 22. There's no word yet on a wedding date.

NEW SHOW RAISING SOME EYEBROWS

NBC News has announced a July 20th premiere date for a controversial new series called "The Wanted", which will profile suspected international terrorists. On the show, an "elite team" of counter-terrorism and intelligence experts . . . along with investigative journalists . . . will hunt down terrorists in an attempt to bring them to justice.

It's being compared to that "Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator" series. --Some government officials are worried that "The Wanted" could interfere with their own ongoing criminal investigations . . . while human rights advocates are concerned that the show could be quick to make accusations against potentially innocent people.

DON'T CRY FOR ME LITTLE GIRL

Remember the "crying girl" from the sixth season of "American Idol"??? She's the little girl who went HYSTERICAL over SANJAYA MALAKAR'S performances . . . and briefly became a SENSATION in the entertainment media.

Well, she's back . . . sort of. The girl, whose name is Ashley Ferl, showed up at "Idol's" Season Nine auditions in Pasadena, California. (--She just turned 16 earlier this year . . . so this the first season she was eligible to audition.) But apparently she wasn't any good. "Access Hollywood" says she did NOT get a ticket to Hollywood.

(--Still, you just KNOW "Idol" is going to give her a TON of face time during that audition episode. So we have that to look forward to.)
