What we've been missing

We admit it, we've been gone for too long, and some high profile celeb weddings, engagements, and break ups have proven that to us. Just a few:

Actors Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green were married in Hawaii June 24th, with only his son Kassius there to witness - and the photographer who showed the world this gorgeous wedding portrait:
And on July 11th, Green's ex-girlfriend, General Hospital star Vanessa Marcil (Kassius' mom), married CSI:NY star Carmine Giovinazzo.

We also missed the weddings of celluloid supercouple Jim and Pam of The Office. Jenna Fischer married Lee Kirk on July 3rd - Survivor's Jeff Probst officiated! - with many costars there to witness, but not her TV husband John Krasinski. Only because one week later, Krasinski married British actress Emily Blunt in Como, Italy at the home of their friend George Clooney.

Just a month after announcing their engagement, on July 22nd Australian model Miranda Kerr and British actor Orlando Bloom were married. Friends now seem to be confirming that the couple is expecting their first child - making Miranda Kerr also highly susceptible to whatever in the water is making every Victoria's Secret model get pregnant.

Spanish actors Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz were married in early July in The Bahamas, and Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart eloped at the Governor's mansion in Santa Fe, New Mexico June 15th. Alanis Morissette married rapper Mario "Souleye" Treadway May 22nd at their L.A. home - and just this week announced they're expecting their first child in December.
British actress Gemma Arterton, who starred as a Bond Girl in Casino Royale and opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in The Prince of Persia, married boyfriend Stefano Catelli on a Spanish hilltop in Zuheros, Andalucia June 5th. She compared her wedding dress to a scene in Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo & Juliet where the female protagonist is wrapped up in a sheet, saying "She looks so gorgeous! My wedding dress is kind of like that." Catelli proposed last year at the Download Music Festival in Derby, UK.

Funny stars Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher married in Paris in front of just six guests on Valentine's Day. Their second child is due this summer and will join sister Olive, 2.

R&B singer Alicia Keys, five months pregnant, married rapper Swizz Beatz on the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean July 31st. Rapper T.I. got out of jail and married his longtime girlfriend and the mother of two of his kids, Tameka Cottle, in a Miami courthouse July 30th. And Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets married former MTV personality LaLa Vasquez in New York City on July 10th - it proved to be a fairly popular day - Anthony and Vasquez, Krasinski and Blunt, Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher, and Martin Lawrence and girlfriend Shamicka Hill we're all married today.

Glee star Jane Lynch married girlfriend Dr. Lara Embry on May 28th in Massachusetts - where same-sex marriage is legal, with Embry's 8-year-old daughter there to witness.

Piers Morgan, British journalist and judge on reality shows including America's Got Talent, was married to girlfriend Celia Walden in the UK on June 24th, with a who's who of celeb friends from across the pond in attendance - but not his good friend Simon Cowell, who recently gave up his serial bachelorhood to announce his intent to wed American Idol make-up artist Mezghan Hussainy. Actress Mena Suvari married music producer Simone Sestito in Vatican City on June 26th, wearing a strapless dress by Stacey Bendet of alice + olivia despite previously expressing a desire to cover her tattoos with a gown with plenty of fabric.

Both stars of the CW's Supernatural got married! Jared Padalecki to Genevieve Cortese February 27th, and Jensen Ackles to Danneel Harris of One Tree Hill May 15th.

Among the newly engaged celebs are Ugly Betty star America Ferreira to longtime boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams, Linda Hogan (Hulk's ex) to her 21-year-old boyfriend Charlie Hill, Sister, Sister star Tamera Mowry got engaged to Fox News' Adam Housely on vacation in Italy (for the second time - they were previously engaged but broke it off, reportedly due to the fact that Tamera's twin sister Tia is no fan of her future brother-in-law), and country singers Kellie Pickler and Miranda Lambert were both engaged this spring - Pickler to boyfriend Kyle Jacobs, who proposed on the beach June 15th, and Lambert to fellow country musician Blake Shelton.

The very day teen mom Bristol Palin and ex-boyfriend Levi Johnson announced they were back together and engaged, she discovered he might have gotten another girl pregnant when they weren't together and they split - again. Also ending their engagements: former Bachelorette couple Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski, most recent Bachelor couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, and Brit Kelly Osbourne and model boyfriend Luke Worrall. Just days after announcing the end of the engagement over rumoured allegations of Worrall's cheating, Osbourne's dog died. Guess she's got the Jessica Simpson curse. And finally, actors Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson called off their 18-month engagement, with distance being blamed for the split - she's based in L.A., he in Toronto.
Getting a little further into the relationship, actors Jonathon Schaech and Jana Kramer were married July 4th - but filed for divorce this week.
