Cuthbert set to tie the knot

‘24’ blonde beauty Elisha Cuthbert has become engaged to boyfriend Trace Ayala, a personal assistant and friend to pop star Justin Timberlake.

The nubile 21-year-old actress – who shot to fame playing Kim Bauer in the smash hit TV series – had vehemently denied in April being involved with Justin Timberlake when she was spotted sneaking into the "Cry Me A River" star's Dublin hotel - an event which forced her to go public that she was actually paying her beau of one year a visit.
