Hollywood’s cringiest couple is back with more vomit-inducing romantic lore. In a new interview with Vogue, Machine Gun Kelly said he designed Megan Fox’s engagement ring to have thorns on it so that “if she tries to take it off, it hurts.” “It’s a thoroughbred Colombian emerald, with no treatment,” MGK (born Colson Baker) said of Fox’s Stephen Webster-designed, admittedly gorgeous ring. “It was just carved into the teardrop, straight out of the mine. And the diamond was directly from Stephen. The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings. When it’s together, it’s held in place by a magnet. So you see how it snaps together? And then it forms an obscure heart. And you see this right here? The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts…Love is pa...

Who knew bars kept caskets on deck in cases of emergency.
