Uma Thurman shares her joy

The stalker may have sapped her of peace, but now all that is buried in the past and the actress is quite joyous again. The reason for her happiness? Her engagement to Swiss businessman Arpad Busson.

Last month, Uma announced she is set to marry Arpad, who she has been dating for a year. Last month, the couple threw a lavish party at Arpad's London home, inviting friends including Elizabeth Hurley, designer Stella McCartney and British artist Damien Hirst.

And then, to share her joy with her American pals, she arranged a second bash at her Manhattan apartment. Uma’s good friend said, "I have never seen her as thrilled. She looks amazing, surrounded by tons of happy friends."
