Talk about a couple on the up-and-up. Desperate Housewives vet Jesse Metcalfe is now about to make things "official" with his actress girlfriend Cara Santana. Both of them have big projects on the horizon and, we're imagining, a very big wedding to plan!

Jesse and Cara first started dating back in 2009 and have been spotted getting cozy on dozens of red carpets. They also have reportedly been living together for quite some time, which makes them more than ready to take the next step.

Besides marriage, Metcalfe has quite a busy year ahead of him. The 33-year-old hunk is set to star in TNT's reboot of Dallas, playing alongside Jordana Brewster as a member of the famous Ewing clan.

Santana is a gorgeous young Latina who’s been spotted on shows like CSI: Miami and Strong Medicine. She was most recently seen costarring with Rob Morrow in The Whole Truth and will more than likely wind up in Dallas if her hubby-to-be has anything to say about it.

No word yet on a wedding date, but we'll definitely keep you posted!

Do you think Jesse and Cara make a cute couple? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

Jordana Brewster isn’t the first name that comes to mind when discussing Texas tycoons. But that doesn't mean she can't play one. This versatile Brazilian-American actress has played an underground street racer and soap opera diva in As The World Turns, so we understand why TNT casting agents see so much potential in Jordana and lined her up to be the lead in their reboot of the classic 1980s show Dallas.

Believe it or not, the original Dallas series ran for more than 12 years and, at one time, was one of the highest-rated shows on television. Centered around Southfork Texas’ wealthy Ewing family, plots ranged from cheating husbands to car explosions to the infamous “Who Shot J.R.” cliffhanger.

This time around, the series will focus on the next generation of Ewings, with several classic characters coming back from the original series. Original stars Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray are set to return and rumor has it that the original J.R. (played by Larry Hagman) may be saddling up as well.

Jordana is the first new actress cast and Deadline is reporting that she will be a lead on the show. Her character, Elena, is the daughter of the ranch’s cook and will supposedly be caught up in a Ewing love triangle. Let’s just hope no one goes gunning for poor Elena like they did for J.R.

Are you excited to see Jordana transition to TV? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

Still waiting (not-so) patiently for the release of 'New Moon' and couldn't get a ticket to last weekend's TwiCon? (For all you mortals in the dark, that would be this year's Dallas Twilight Convention, claro!)  No hay problema, MTV News got a chance to talk con algunos de los actores at the event, as well as some rabid Twilight fans who just can't get enough of the Edward-Bella-Jacob triángulo de amor!

Mega-guapos Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen), Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) and Kellan Lutz (Emmett) were among the actors who attended the event (sadly RPatz and Kristen Stewart were MIA). Fans also got a rare treat when Jackson Rathbone performed with his band, 100 Monkeys, in addition to other fun interactive events like Bella's Self-Defense Class (porque por supuesto, you have to know how to fend off those evil vampiros!) and Alice's Makeover Room. Pero el evento was really about los fans.

"I get the chance to connect with the fans, which is really great, because they're the ones that made this franchise what it is," dijo Rathbone.

And when Peter Facinelli ran through a sea of adoring fans to deliver some paper airplane autographs, he added "It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I got terrified halfway through. Now I know how Rob Pattinson feels."

Mmm... yeah. But the saddest part of TwiCon was when the actors were asked about losing co-star Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria), who was recently let go from the upcoming 'Eclipse' film due to "scheduling conflicts." La actriz canadiense will be replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard (mejor conocida como Gwen Stacy in the Spider-Man series). While actors Peter Facinelli and Jackson Rathbone declined to comment on the shady circumstances of Rachelle's departure, they did agree they would miss Rachelle and love her como una hermana.  Aww!

Dinos tu opinión! Who do you think will make a better Victoria?

See what the actors had to say after the cut, and watch more from TwiCon on MTV.com here!
