Scott Disick had dinner Wednesday at STK Miami with friends, including Nick Hogan. And while we’ve put a moratorium on gratuitous sightings of Kardashian baby daddies, this one was too good to ignore. A man eating at the restaurant and planning to propose to his girlfriend noticed Disick and had a favor to ask of him — if he would bring the ring over to the table in order to make it, uh, extra special. Disick, who has seemingly had his own commitment issues, agreed — and the gentleman returned the favor by taking care of his bill. A far cry from rose petals, violins, unicorns, or stadium proposals, but at least the fiancée said yes.

More impressive than the celebrities in attendance — emcee Tom Brokaw, True Blood/Magic Mike star Joe Manganiello, Gossip Girl star Matthew Settle, Tommy Lee Jones, All My Children’s Colin Egglesfield, Enrique Iglesias and Wayne Newton — was the money raised at Saturday night’s Destination Fashion event at Bal Harbour Shops benefiting The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis. Final tally? A whopping $31 million! Manganiello, incidentally, was seen Friday night at Makoto with a female and on Saturday afternoon at Equinox South Beach, keeping his perfectly chiseled body in shape with an intense workout that we’re told left spectators in awe.

Former True Blood actor Mehcad Brooks had dinner at STK on Friday with producer /songwriter Dallas Austin and five friends.

Original supermodel Christy Turlington and actor/writer/producer/director husband Ed Burns were seen with their family Saturday on the VIP Safari Tour at Jungle Island.

Natalie Cole and her two sisters had dinner Saturday at Cafe Prima Pasta with music producer Rudy Perez, his wife Betsy and a music director. Cole is working with Perez on her next album.

The last two standing were tasked with creating an ad campaign and flavor of ice cream for Walgreens food brand Delish. In this corner: Teller’s Magic Swurtle chocolate turtle concoction. In the other: Adkins’ Maple Macadamia MashUp. Both flavors are currently on sale at the drugstore chain.
