Uhmmm….

When did David Blaine get so, errr, "plump"???

The illusionist showed off his new figure while out in London on Monday night.

His body is probably just rebelling after all the shiz he's put it through the last several years!

Happy news for magician David Blaine.

The illusionist is set to marry his girlfriend, French model Alizee Guinochet!

A source adds that the engagement took place on David's birthday about two weeks ago.

Says the source, "Alizee's a great girl. She's really smart and talented. They are so in love."

And the two have even been spotted recently sporting "matching pre-engagement rings."

Congrats to the happy couple!

Magician David Blaine says he is disappointed with the outcome of his latest stunt.

He's not the only one!

After hanging upside down for 60 hours over Central Park - which included many right side up breaks - BOO!!! - the plan was to conclude the stunt with a stunning "Dive of Death."

Blaine was supposed to jump and after 10 feet, be caught and carried away by a bunch of balloons. What he actually ended up doing was just dangling and then was reeled up and away.

Onlookers were not afraid to express their disappointment.

Even David's friends called him up to tell him he sucked. He says, "I know that it didn't work right when all my friends called up and said, `Wait, what happened? I'm confused.'"

You got that right!

Lame!

Peeps don't like getting played!

We previously mentioned that many folks felt like David Blaine 'cheated' his way through his 3 day, 60-hour hanging stunt over New York's Central Park because he took multiple right side up breaks during the endeavor. At least one an hour. Sometimes more!

New Yorkers are a vocal bunch and they let Blaine know how craptasticlly they viewed this latest attention seeking gig.

The 'magician' was booed by onlookers at the big, ceremonial 'conclusion' event of his 'death defying' hanging stunt in New York City on Wednesday night.

Does this mean we won't hear from Blaine for a long time!

Don't come back unless you have something really, really good, Davie!

Assumptions probably got the better of us, y'all.

David Blaine's 'hanging upside down for 60 hours' stunt is sprinkled with lots of right side up breaks!

We've received tons of angry notes from people who've made an effort to see Blaine in Central Park only to catch him during one of these 'breaks'.

A representative for the 'magician' has spoken up to diffuse the anger people are feeling. She said Blaine never intended to stay upside down for 60 consecutive hours:

"About once an hour he has to come down for a medical check, to stretch, and to relieve himself, because even David Blaine can't do that upside down. He has said all along that there will be times when he must get his head above his heart. The doctors told him if he doesn't do that, he will die."

However, a new report claims that Blaine took 3 breaks during the hour they were observing him.

This newest Blaine spectacle is set to conclude in an ABC television special Wednesday night when Blaine takes what he calls the "Dive of Death" and falls 44 feet to the ground.

Perezcious reader Rob sent us video of Blaine on one of his 'breaks'.

You can hear a little kid in the background calling Blaine a 'liar'.

That brought the LOLs!

Knowing that there are tons of breaks involved, are U less impressed with this latest David Blaine stunt?

Perezcious reader Nick from New York snapped these pictures of David Blaine hanging above the Big Apple's Central Park.

Starting at 8:30 am ET Monday, Blaine will hang above the park for 60 hours.

Doctors say Blaine could go blind from hanging upside down so long.

Crazy, crazy.

'Magician' David Blaine is putting his health on the line for his newest stunt.

Next week, he's set to hang upside down for 60 hours above Central Park in New York City.

But, according to Blaine's doctor, hanging upside down for that ridiculous amount of time could lead to blindness.

Don't do it!!!

Hanging upside down will increases blood pressure in the head, especially in the eyes.

The doctor didn't specify how long the blindness could last.

Scary!

The doc also said there's also a risk of swelling and cramps in internal organs.

But, most importantly, the stunt could yield valuable data for doctors, according to the medical expert.

Blaine will generously play 2 roles!

Entertainer and medical guinea pig.
