"Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis is engaged to be blissfully married to Los Angeles local news personality Christina McLarty. The two reportedly are madly in love and want to make it official. Notorious man about town, Francis popped the question and McLarty gladly accepted the opportunity to make an honest man out of him rather than the other way round. As for McLarty, she is already a fairly honest woman with great genetic links to former White House chief of staff during the Clinton administration Mack McLarty as an uncle there was not stopping this go getter.

Considered some what of a Hollywood bad boy, it looks like Francis has gone good with the imminent nuptials with entertainment reporter at LA's CBS2/KCAL9 McLarty. Huffington reports the McLarty worked as a TV reporter and correspondent in Dallas and in Little Rock, Arkansas before taking an entertainment reporter position in Los Angeles. McLarty has interviewed celebrities such as "Bill Clinton, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Diane Sawyer, Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty and Annette Benning.

Francis made headlines when he was arrested after being five hours late to his tax evasion hearing in February 2009. Fortunately, a plea deal was struck and Francis was ordered to pay $250,000 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service and one year probation. Watch the video here.
