Roy Orbison's son Alex is to wed tattoo artist Kat Von D. Heavily tattooed Kat, who fronts TV show L.A. Ink, accepted the Whitestarr drummer's proposal last month, and the couple made it official at Warner Music's post-Grammy Awards party on February 10.

Every since the strike, there have been so many reality shows popping up all over the place. I haven't been the biggest fan of the reality TV scene. Most of the reality is scripted or instigated by producers. Or, as seen lately, a desperate attempt to film time slots.

Tattoos are going bicoastal as TLC provides more of what viewers love with August premiere of the new series LA Ink, featuring Kat Von D. A spin-off of TLC's highly rated and youngest skewing show Miami Ink, the catalyst for LA Ink was months of in- fighting between artists Ami James and Kat Von D that results in a dramatic showdown featured in the season finale on Tuesday, May 8 at 10 p.m. ET.
