June 8 -- Will the next celebrity to walk down the aisle be singer-actress Jennifer Lopez?

Tabloids, including the New York Post and Britain's The Sun, are reporting Lopez's dancer boyfriend Chris Judd has popped the question. Those following her saucy dating life might recall the pair began dating after her split from Sean "P. Diddy" Combs.

As the story goes, Judd proposed at a barbecue in Los Angeles and the ring is on the way.

J.Lo's publicist cannot confirm that nuptials are planned. "We don't comment on her private life," said Alan Nierob, who added he does not know if she is in fact engaged.

And the Post itself points out that its sources for the news is not so sure the happy couple will actually make it to the altar.

"Jennifer is working a lot, and she is happier than she's ever been in her life," the unidentified source told the paper. "But I doubt they will actually get married."

Top Ticket Prices

New Yorkers may need to think about a part-time job if they're trying to afford several concerts this summer.

The most expensive gigs of the season are all in the Big Apple, with Madonna topping the list. Tickets for her Madison Square Garden concert top out at $253.

Next in line is U2 at $133 for the same venue.

Other pricey performances in the area include Rod Stewart and Roxy Music tickets for those concerts for $129 each. And you'll have to shell out 128 smackers to see Janet Jackson.

Rounding out the top five are the Backstreet Boys. Teens will have to baby-sit a few extra hours for the top-priced seats at that concert, which go for $125.

Hard Rock Gets the Beat

Who says there has to be a guitar for the music to be considered rock 'n' roll?

The Hard Rock Café is opening its doors to techno, with its first exhibit of artifacts for those in the world of electronica.

The honoree is DJ Paul Oakenfold, who recently composed the soundtrack to Swordfish. He now has a pair of turntables at the Las Vegas Hard Rock casino and attended the unveiling of his wares.
