quicklist: 3Title: Is Nicole Scherzinger Getting Engaged? And Who is Nicole Scherzinger?Text: A rumor has dropped out of the sky that Nicole Scherzinger and Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton are getting engaged. Hamilton spoke to U.K.'s Sun newspaper, saying he plans to wed "hopefully in the near future … maybe before we get to six years."

Now, before you start speculating on possible wedding dates and locations, you might want to ask yourselves the same question we did: Who are these people?

A former member of the Pussycat Dolls, Scherzinger has U.K. and U.S. homes on the music competition series "The X-Factor" as a judge, and has found moderate success as a solo artist. Hamilton is a British Formula One racing driver, who is something of a God among sports fans across the pond.

Was the rumor planted by either Scherzinger or Hamilton? Or is it just another case of the tabloids having a field day? Hold onto your hats and watch closely.
