FORMER Australian Idol star Dean Geyer says he and his fiance{aac}e, singer Lisa Origliasso, won't be heading down the aisle any time soon as work commitments keep them apart. With Origliasso, who makes up one half of the pop duo The Veronicas, based in the US and Geyer busy with his Neighbours role, the pair haven't had a chance to think about wedding plans. "We're not going to start planning until we have some time to think, which is not going to be until the end of this year," Geyer said. "So no dates set at the moment. Hopefully we'll go away in December on a big holiday and start putting our minds together." Because of work, the lovebirds have have spent only a week together since becoming engaged in April.

But one of the Jolie confidants says that the real Goline warned ET the info came from an impostor hours before show host Mary Hart broadcast the report.

Knight, 35, who plays the gentle-souled Dr George O'Malley on hit show Grey's Anatomy, and his real-life partner, Mark Cornelsen, have taken part in a mass celebration of the California Supreme Court's decision to strike down a ban against same-sex marriage.
