While some couples basically know they’re getting engaged before the big question gets popped, Brandy Norwood had no clue about anything.

The singer/actress told press that she was completely taken by surprise; though she’s not sure her fiancé Ryan Press premeditated any of it.

After having given up on a relationship in the past, Brandy has found love with music executive Ryan Press and will soon walk down the aisle with her knight in shining armor.

The "Moesha" star told Sister2Sister magazine in August, "I keep hearing about a ring. People keep calling me, hinting to me about it, but I don't know. I'm going to be patient and let it happen and just let it be. . . I guess it will happen when it's the right time."

In just over a month, the whole world will celebrate the arrival of the New Year, and “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin Eve” has plenty of star power in store.

2013 will come in with plenty of girl power, as Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Brandy will all take the stage for live performances throughout the evening.
