Pop singer Paula Abdul and actor Emilio Estevez recently became engaged, a spokesman said Thursday.

No date has been set for their marriage. It will be the first for both.

Abdul, 29, has been on tour following the release of her "Spellbound" album, featuring the hit singles "Blowing Kisses in the Wind," "Rush Rush" and "Vibeology." Estevez, 29, son of actor Martin Sheen, currently is starring in the feature film "Freejack."

Sex research pioneers Masters and Johnson are getting divorced.

Dr. William Masters and his wife and professional collaborator, Virginia Johnson Masters, announced Wednesday that they were getting a divorce after 21 years of marriage. Masters is 76, and his wife is 67. They have worked together professionally for 35 years.

A nude photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger appears in the March issue of Spy magazine, despite - or perhaps because of - a complaint from the actor's publicist.

The satirical magazine received an unsolicited print of the photo, made in a studio in the 1970s, while it was preparing a story on Schwarzenegger's attempts to control media coverage of himself, said publisher Kurt Andersen.

Andersen said Thursday the magazine decided to print the photo as a result of a call from Schwarzenegger's publicist, Charlotte Parker.

He said Parker called a day after Spy received the photo to complain about the magazine having it and to wonder why the magazine was doing a story on Schwarzenegger without involving her.

"We'd rattled her cage and that became part of the story. So we decided to print it," Andersen said. "It's a press manipulation story."
