Gossip columnist Liz Smith reports that Julie Chen, the host of CBS's Big Brother series as well as co-anchor of CBS's The Early Show, and Viacom co-president and co-COO Les Moonves, who heads the CBS and UPN networks, have decided to get married, although not in the next few weeks, and have purchased a home together in Beverly Hills.

The romance between the on-air TV personality and her boss became public when Les Moonves's wife Nancy filed for divorce last year. However, rumors about a personal relationship between Julie and Les go all the way back to Les's defense of Julie's performance on Big Brother 1 back in 2000, and Les and Julie had attended Hollywood events as a couple prior to the divorce filing.

We wish the future happy couple lots of luck ... and we hope that Julie and Les have the good sense not to videotape their wedding night.
