Drew Peterson Engaged to Future Ex-Wife No. 5

We thought nothing could shock us anymore after the Blagojevich scandal. And we were right. It comes as no surprise that Drew Peterson - still married to "missing" fourth wife Stacy Peterson - is engaged to a 23-year-old woman.

He also said the two had been dating for four months, which means she's not the 22-year-old who is not a hooker that Peterson was not getting physical with earlier this year.
