"Kanye West is reportedly hoping to marry his model girlfriend Amber Rose next year.  The &amp;#039;Welcome To Heartbreak&amp;#039; rapper - whose mother Donda West passed away in November 2007 from complications that arose during a cosmetic surgery procedure - is said to be planning to take the former stripper to the Caribbean early next year to propose.  A friend said: &amp;quot;He has really bonded with her since losing his mother and needs another strong woman in his life.&amp;quot; The pair are reportedly heading to an eight-bedroom, \u00C2\u00A32,000-a-night villa in the Dominican Republic for the romantic occasion.  The source added to Daily Star: &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s very serious, otherwise he wouldn&amp;#039;t be spending that much money on her.&amp;quot;  It will be the second time in as many months that West has headed to the Caribbean holiday spot. He was among the guests at Jay-Z&amp;#039;s birthday bash on the island earlier this month.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
