"AJ dropped down to one knee and said that they had been dating for a long time and [he] wanted to know if she would marry him," a source tells Us. "Of course she said 'yes,' and they left the club shortly after this happened."

Another witness tells E! News that the singer bought a "beautiful ring" on the fly at Rocks the Jeweler inside the Hard Rock Hotel before running "back to Wasted Space [to propose on-stage at] the strike of midnight, and the change of the date to Jan. 9 -- his birthday!"

The club was hosting a party for Web site "Naughty America" to coincide with the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo convention.

    Congratulations!! I hope the best for AJ and Rochelle! KTBSPA

  • January 11, 2010 - 3:06pm Hope He Actually MARRIES This One

    He proposed to a girl who'd seen him through substance abuse, and then later admitted he only wanted to put her on lockdown, and that he didn't really intend to marry her. He might as well have just given her a "let's go steady" ring. I hope he MEANS it this time.

    I have been an aj fan for 13 years and also the groups. This is an shocker but what needs to happen is that aj needs to get to know her more plus trust her more-the reason most women these days are using men for their looks and their money. My male friends that i work with are in an lasting realantionships for years because they get to know their spouses more an huge tip. Because smothering someone will lead to an breakup that will leave someone in tears. Don't rush this enagement aj because if you do it will look bad. But still get my support and congratiualtions for right now.
