As Maria Menounos continues her promotion round for her new book "The EveryGirl's Guide to Cooking," she makes a stop at Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show where she got engaged to her boyfriend Keven Undergaro.

Menounos had no idea what surprise awaited her on the show but Stern immediately opened the dialogue with Menounos by addressing her career, which he says is pretty much based off of her looking good.

He addressed the fact that she was there to promote her new book "The EveryGirl's Guide to Cooking" but he didn't understand how she could call herself an "every girl." After Stern went on about how hot she was, Menounos said said really didn't think that she was that pretty and that she believed Jessic Biel was better looking, however, Stern said he would have to choose her over Biel.

Stern wanted to talk to Menounos about why she left Extra and if it had anything to do with Mario Lopez. She said that she chose to leave the show and that she and Lopez are cordial.

She told Stern that she doesn't hate Lopez because she saves her hate for people who actually deserve it, according to MarksFriggin.

"Howard said it seems like Maria has a lot of drama in her life. Maria said there are people who want to hurt you and dim your light," according to MF.

"She said it's been really friggin hard. She said it's really painful. Howard said Maria is a nice girl and she's really hot. Maria said it's really hard. She was almost crying."

There were plenty of instances where Menounos actually got very emotional when talking about people who were threatened by her. She told Stern that she had been called a diva and a terrible person as well during the interview.

Later on Stern started asking Menounos about Undergaro, who she says she has been with for around 19 years. Stern wanted to dive into their sex life but for the most part they kept things under-wraps.

Stern actually brought Undergaro in on the interview and later on found out that the Stern Show was the first one they listened to together. Then it happened. Undergaro began his proposal to Menounos.

"Keven said that it has been so long. Maria told him not to propose.

Keven said they were in the back talking about all of this and it's hard to hear her talking about all of this stuff," according to MF.

"Keven said that people didn't want them together and it was hard. He said the last 17 years or so has been them fighting together.

Kevin said that she got a better deal and a better job and it reminds him about how much he really does love her.

He said he said it isn't a proposal but it is. He asked Maria to marry him."

Menounos was completed caught off-guard and began asking if it was a joke but Undergaro confirmed that it was the real deal. She did say yes so it was not a fail at all.

Menounos' parents were actually in the studio and Stern had them come in to the room.

So, for the second week in a row, someone has gotten engaged on the Howard Stern SiriusXM radio show, the first being Ronnie The Limo Driver.
