Khloe plans Kim Kardashian's engagement party in four days

2011-06-19T19:03:00.000-07:00

Kim Kardashian accepted a proposal, and 20.5 carat diamond ring, from NBA star Kris Humphries in May, and has hinted she'll wed this summer. And on Thursday sister Khloe threw a last-minute engagement party for the couple, when they realized it was the only opportunity to fit it into both families' busy schedules.

And she called in event planner Sharon Sachs, who planned Khloe's own wedding to Lakers star Lamar Odom in September 2009. "She did my wedding in nine days, so I was like, 'You can put together an engagement party in three days!' It was really fun!"

Almost 50 friends and family attended the bash in Los Angeles, including some friends who had yet to meet Humphries amid his rapid relationship development with Kim.

"Everybody had the best time and got along. It was so sweet see everyone hang out with each other."

When they wed, Kim has said she'll keep her last name professionally but will take his name with a hyphenate.

As for that 20.5 carat diamond ring? Humphries helped design it with jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz. He spent days deciding which inscriptions to engrave on the platinum band, settling on Biblical phrases like, "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil."

Also included on the band was a simple "K [hearts] K."

How Crystal Harris spent her almost-wedding day

2011-06-19T18:21:00.000-07:00

Playmate Crystal Harris spent Saturday, June 18th - the day she would have married Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner in a Lifetime TV special - at a pool party in Las Vegas with reality TV stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

"I came to Vegas to hang out with my friends for the day," she said at Wet Republic, where she and Montag browsed the July edition of Playboy - gracing the cover as 'Mrs. Crystal Hefner' in his signature sailor hat and robe. "I wanted to get away from L.A. so I didn't have to think about the wedding."

The issue had already gone to print when the wedding was called off, which prompted issues to be slapped with a sticker reading "Runaway Bride in This Issue!"

Inside the magazine, an ad for Daniel's whiskey also congratulates the pair on their wedding.

Hefner spent his Saturday night in, watching Runaway Bride at the Playboy mansion with his Bunnies. "This was going to be my wedding day, but life is full of surprises. After all is said and done, staying single is probably for the best," he Tweeted last night.

Hefner's former girlfriend and Girls Next Door costar Holly Madison Tweeted that she was disgusted that Harris would flaunt her singledom at a pool party. "That's a new low," she said. "And whoever booked her is tacky."

More details on Lily Allen's wedding day!

2011-06-19T18:10:00.000-07:00

Singer Lily Allen married fiance Sam Cooper in Gloucestershire on June 11th, and a reception followed in the garden of her country home. First a sedate tea party for close family and friends, which was followed up by a wild party for 300 guests that lasted until 3am, where guests "danced all night long," said a guest.

Lily, who is 17 weeks pregnant, kept to two celebratory glasses of champagne and gave guests kebabs as a snack at 3am. "Everyone's hammered, have a kebab!" she announced. The party also featured a red phone box full of beer, a Pimm's stand, hog roast, and a cupcake stall. As a gift, Allen gave Cooper a mini-jukebox stacked with some of her love songs.

The guest revealed, "There was a short fireworks display. Then Lily's father, the actor Keith Allen, sang rather badly. But that was revealed to be all a big joke, and then a real fireworks display began. The real singers, Lil' Band O' Gold, played twice."

Oasis' Noel Gallagher weds - but brother Liam 'too busy' to attend

2011-06-19T17:19:00.000-07:00

Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has had a notoriously stormy relationship in the spotlight with his brother and former bandmate Liam, further evident this weekend when Liam was "too busy" to attend the wedding of his brother to Scottish publicist Sarah MacDonald at New Forest National Park.

The rocker paid GBP60,000 for exclusive access to the luxury Lime Wood Hotel and its 16 rooms inside the park, arriving by car on Friday ahead of the Saturday ceremony, where guests were entertained by a bagpiper and comedian Russell Brand. Jazz signer Jamie Cullum and model Sophie Dahl were married at the 13th Century estate in January 2010.

Gallagher wore a light-grey suit with white shirt and black tie, while MacDonald wore a full-length white dress with long sleeves - de riguer again following the Duchess of Cambridge's long-sleeved Grace Kelly-inspired Sarah Burton creation.

Younger brother Liam, whose Valentine's Day registry office wedding to British pop star Nicole Appleton in 2008 went off without Noel's attendance, is currently touring with new band Beady Eye. Liam has admitted the brothers don't see eye to eye and prefer not to speak to one another. They haven't spoken in two years and allegedly use Twitter to communicate.

Noel was previously married to interior designer Meg Matthews, with whom he has daughter Anais, 11. Their marriage ended after he met MacDonald at a party in Ibiza, Spain in June 2000. He has sons Rory,3, and eight-month-old Sonny with MacDonald.

Vanessa Minnillo celebrates bachelorette party in Las Vegas

2011-06-19T16:25:00.000-07:00

TV host Vanessa Minnillo celebrated her bachelorette party at LAVO nightclub in Las Vegas with eight girlfriends Friday night, and gave some insight into how planning the upcoming summer wedding to singer Nick Lachey has gone.

"It's a breeze! Nick and I are so on the same page and it's so easy with every decision we've made. We've gone through the process and been so even-keeled and so on the same page with every decision. For us, we've made decisions and it's said and done."

While inside LAVO, the girls sipped champagne and her friends surprised a laughing Minnillo with a lap dance from a little person, who had earlier jumped out of a giant cake singing tunes by Lachey's late-90s pop group, 98*. On Saturday afternoon, the group lounged poolside at the Marquee Dayclub.

Christine Bleakley shows off engagement ring!

2011-06-19T15:46:00.000-07:00

Arriving back in London from a US vacation in L.A. and Las Vegas with footballer Frank Lampard, TV presenter Christine Bleakley smiled for photographers as she showed off her huge GBP120,000 ring - which she has called a bit too big!

Lampard, a striker with the English national team and Chelsea in the English Premiere League, reportedly spent almost three months planning a the romantic two-week getaway and proposal - though Bleakley told her cohorts on breakfast show Daybreak that the moment was "not very fancy. It was very personal, very private actually, and we were just having a gorgeous lunch by the beach [in Los Angeles] and he simply popped the question. It was completely out of the blue.

"Halfway through the lovey-dovey bit, I realized what he was about to do so I started to cry for about ten minutes and then he pulled out the ring and said, 'Will you marry me?' And that was it."

Though the couple haven't set a date for the wedding, Bleakley says she'd like a small and private wedding in her hometown of Newtownards in Northern Ireland.

It's also been reported that the couple have already been turning down splashy magazine deals to showcase their wedding photos, wishing instead just to share the day with loved ones.

A source told the Sunday Mirror today, "Christine can't wait to get married and Frank has said whatever she wants is fine by him. Money obviously isn't a problem and Frank wants everything to be perfect for Christine. It isn't going to be some tacky celebrity wedding. This is a day purely about them and for their families and close friends."

This will be the first marriage for both, though Lampard was once engaged to Spanish model Elen Rives, with whom he has daughters Luna, 4, and Isla, 3.

Molly Sims' bling and proposal details!

2011-06-18T16:30:00.000-07:00

Over the May long weekend, actress/jewelry designer Molly Sims accepted a surprise proposal from producer Scott Stuber, her boyfriend of the past two years. He popped the question inside her walk-in closet, a la Big and Carrie in Sex & the City. "I had just closed escrow on my house. I was having trouble having his house be our house. He was like, 'This is our house and our life and our future.'"

Stuber, who designed the Diane von Furstenburg ring himself with Sims' friend, a DVF executive, flew in Sims parents from Kentucky for the weekend, a surprise to the bride-to-be. Said Stuber at the recent Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles, with Sims on his arm, "Her mother is a southern woman, and I wanted to be a good Southern gentleman and go ask her parents in person, and bring them along."

And Sims, who says she has "no idea" how big her cushion-cut sparkler is (roughly 5-6 carats, says this site), loves her future husband's taste in jewelry. "He designed it. He did it with my girlfriend on his own. He surprised me; I never sent him a picture. He did it all."

The Wedding Day That Wasn't: Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris' cancelled nuptuals

2011-06-18T15:36:00.000-07:00

Today would have marked the start of marriage between Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner, 85, and 24-year-old Playmate Crystal Harris, his girlfriend since January 2009. The wedding was set to take place in front of 300 guests in the backyard of the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, California. The bride would have walked down the aisle in a pink Romona Cabeza ballgown and Aruna Seth ballet flats. The couple had even intended for the wedding to be part of a TV special.

But Harris took to her website on Tuesday morning to announce the end of her engagement to the octogenarian billionaire. "After much deep reflection and thought I have decided to end my relationship with Hef," she wrote. "I have the utmost respect for Hef and wish him the best going forward. I hope the media will give each of us the privacy we deserve during this difficult time."

But immediately after Hef confirmed the split on his Twitter page, saying, 'It's true, the wedding's off. Crystal has had a change of heart,' rumours sprang up that Harris was secretly dating Dr. Phil's younger son, Jordan, and others speculated that the split was planned from the start. So though Harris had said she hoped for privacy post-split, she instead defended her decision to various media outlets, including a morning-after-the-split interview on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM morning show in Los Angeles.

"I called it off because I didn't think it was the right thing to do," she told Seacrest by phone. "It was mutual between Hef and I. There was no fight. We sat down and we talked about it."

"Not seeing someone else," she added. "For a while I've been having second thoughts about everything. I haven't really been at peace with myself lately. I didn't think it was really fair to him. It was all happening too fast for me."

Resilient Hefner, who has four grown children from two previous marriages, will be fine, Harris said. "He was only getting married because he thought it was what I wanted. Hef's doing great. His lifestyle isn't the most normal lifestyle, multiple girls all around. It's not the lifestyle I wanted. I respect him more than anything, and we're still going to be really close."

Jesse James and Kat Von D planning summer wedding

2011-06-18T12:06:00.001-07:00

Amid rumours that the pair have split, tattooed reality TV stars Jesse James and Kat Von D have announced that couldn't be further from the truth, and that plans are moving forward for a summer wedding.

"We're still going strong. Things are completely good with us," said James, adding that the pair are set to wed this summer on the one year anniversary of the day they started dating. Added James, "That day can't come soon enough. Everything is on track. I am absolutely more in love today than I was a year ago. She's the one for me."

Though the exact date was not revealed, the couple took their romance public last year over Labour Day weekend, so it looks like the pair will be married before his three children - daughters Chandler, 16, and Sunny, 7, and son Jesse, Jr., 14, return to school.

The PDA-friendly pair have known each other for years, but connected after James finalized his divorce from actress Sandra Bullock, who left him amidst revelations that he had cheated with multiple women, and while the couple were in the process of adopting son Louis Bardo, now 18 months, whom Bullock eventually adopted on her own.

The couple commutes regularly between Los Angeles, where she owns and operates the LA Ink tattoo parlour, and Austin, where James moved with his children following his divorce. Chandler and Jesse are his children with first wife Karla, with whom he shares parenting duties, while Sunny is his daughter with former adult film star Janine Lindemulder, whose drug problems have led her to relinquish custody to the West Coast Choppers owner.

Actress Rosanna Arquette set to wed for fourth time

2011-06-18T11:52:00.001-07:00

Actress Rosanna Arquette, it has been revealed, is set to wed banker Todd Morgan, accepting his proposal without hesitation, a source said.

"Rosanna was kind of taken aback but absolutely thrilled when Todd proposed. She didn't think she would ever get married again and was happy with the way things were between her and Todd, but Rosanna is, at the heart of it, a real romantic and she's willing to give marriage another go.

"She's older and wiser and she's certain that Todd is 100 per cent the right guy for her. She is really, really happy."

The pair have reportedly not set a date, but are said to want to wed "sooner rather than later." Adds the source, "They want a small, intimate affair with just close friends and family."

For Arquette, that still guarantees a star-studded ceremony as her siblings - actors Patricia and David, along with David's semi-estranged wife, actress Courteney Cox, and transgender reality TV star Alexis - are stars in their own right.

Arquette has previously been married to Anthony Greco, James Newton Howard, and John Sidel, with whom she has a 16-year-old daughter Zoe Bleu.

Diana's brother weds for third time

2011-06-18T11:31:00.000-07:00

Though Charles, Earl Spencer, and his new bride were guests at his nephew's April 29th royal wedding, the newly minted Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did not attend the earl's June 18th wedding to Canadian-born philanthropist Karen Gordon at the Spencer family home, Althorp House in Northamptonshire, England.

The remains of Spencer's older sister, Princess Diana, are buried on the estate.

Gordon's white lace gown featured a v-neckline and fitted bodice, and she carried a bouquet of cream and white flowers. Spencer, making his third trip to the altar, wore a navy pinstripe suit for the ceremony, described as private and attended by only close family and friends - like his four children with first wife Victoria Lockwood - Lady Kitty, 20, Ladies Eliza and Amelia, 18, and son Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp, 16, who spend most of their time in Cape Town with their mother. Also in attendance were his two children with second wife Caroline Freud - The Honourable Edmund, 7, and Lady Lara Spencer, 4, and Gordon's two teenage daughters with first husband, Hollywood producer Mark Gordon.

Though it's just Earl Spencer's third marriage, he was briefly engaged to Lady Bianca Elliot in 2010. He announced his engagement to Gordon, a former fashion model, in February of this year.

Gown commission of the year?

2011-06-17T16:08:00.000-07:00

Though Sarah Burton landed the ultimate gown commission, designing Kate Middleton's Grace Kelly-inspired lace gown for the April 29th royal wedding, it's Carolina Herrera who's now claiming the gown-design spotlight. This past week, it was revealed that the classic American designer was tasked with creating Bella's wedding dress for the next film in the hugely-popular Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, Part 1.

So far, only teases of the gown have been revealed in film trailers, the dress design a closely guarded secret, as much as the new Duchess' traditional gown with eight-foot train.

Fans of the series are already salivating, anticipating something traditional with a modern edge for the series' no-fuss main character, Bella Swan, portrayed by no-fuss actress Kristen Stewart. And it's possible that Herrera's gown for Bella could garner far more copycats than the Duchess' long-sleeved creation.

Lily Allen's English country wedding

2011-06-16T14:26:00.000-07:00

Days after her June 11th wedding to fiance Sam Cooper, English singer-songwriter Lily Allen unveiled her updated Twitter handle - @lilyroseallen traded in her old account to become @lilyrosecooper - and in a public message thanked friends, family, and more for her perfect day. 'I had the most amazing wedding,' she Tweeted. 'Thank you to everyone who went to such extraordinary efforts to make it that way.'

The couple exchanged vows at St. James the Great Church in the village of Cranham, near Stroud, in Gloucestershire. Allen wore a custom-made vintage lace gown by French designer Delphine Manivet, quashing reports that the dress would be made by her close friend, Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld.

Allen's wedding day was made even more special for family and friends when Cooper announced at the wedding breakfast that his new wife is over three months pregnant - welcome news after the couple lost their first child, a boy, when she was six months pregnant last November. "There were tears all around," a friend told the Daily Mail of the announcement. "This is the happiest day of Lily and Sam's lives and they are so in love. This is the icing on the wedding cake!"

Allen and builder Cooper met at the Glastonbury rock festival in Scotland in June 2009, following relationships with higher profile men including Ed Simons of The Chemical Brothers - with whom she suffered a first miscarriage in early 2008. They announced their engagement in January after he proposed over the Christmas holidays, solidifying their union amid their heartbreak.

UPDATE: Fearne Cotton engaged

2010-09-06T17:16:00.000-07:00

Over the weekend, British music TV/radio host Fearne Cotton, 29, got engaged to her skater boyfriend of the past two years, Jesse Jenkins, Friday night - her 29th birthday. Cotton stepped out of the BBC Radio 1 studios on Monday with a diamond ring (among others) on her left hand.

Sources claim that Jenkins, 24, led Cotton, blindfolded, to London's Richmond Park, where he reportedly got down on one knee and proposed.

"Fearne was so touched at how Jesse did it - it was really romantic. It was a big shock for everyone but Fearne is ecstatic. It was the last thing that she was expecting but she didn't hesitate to say yes. She is so excited about being engaged that she hasn't even thought about the wedding - that will be something she thinks about later," says the source.

Cotton's rep confirmed the rumours late yesterday. It will be the first marriage for both.

The presenter has always spoken of her desire for marriage and family. "I've always been broody. Having a family of my own is really important, more than anything. I think that's what it's all about, isn't it? It's about finding a life partner who's your best friend. What's the point of doing great things at work if you don't have someone to share it with?"

Dave Annable and Odette Yustman will be married by the end of the year

2010-09-05T16:48:00.000-07:00

Brothers & Sisters star Dave Annable will be married to actress Odette Yustman before the end of the year, the actress tells Us Magazine. She also reveals that she's already found her dress.

"I have my dress. Its a beautiful Monique Lhuillier and it was the first dress I tried on," she says. "As for the rest, we're keeping everything hush hush, but it's coming. I'll be married by the end of the year."

Her comment that, "I don't think we'll get married on a beach. It'll just be a big party, low-key -- somewhere outside, probably," sounds like the wedding - likely extravagant to satisfy large families - isn't set in stone just yet, but could also be a tactic to throw the media off their scent.

The couple, who will both be walking down the aisle for the first time, were engaged in February.

Marriage made Christina Aguilera's relationship stronger

2010-09-05T16:29:00.000-07:00

This November, Christina Aguilera will celebrate five years of marriage with her music exec hubby, Jordan Bratman, and in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan UK the pop singer-turned actress tells how nothing much has changed for the couple since they started dating in 2002.

"Marriage unites you and makes you official, but it didn't change our relationship. All the things like wanting to work hard and play hard -- they were always important to us," she says. "We've been married for five years now, and I think the secret is in always keeping it interesting. You have to make time for yourselves."

Five years is a stretch for almost any Hollywood marriage, but Aguilera, who welcomed the couple's son, Max, in January 2008, tells Cosmo, "It's important to be open to growing together, and when the going gets tough, you have to see how you can make your relationship more special and how you can spend more quality time together. Everyone has rough patches, everybody grows and we all change. It's important to give each other room to grow and to accept them for who they are."

The couple were married at the Staglin Family Vineyard in Rutherford, California on November 19, 2005. The singer wore an elaborate Spanish-style Christian Lacroix gown for the Jewish nuptuals. She traded the dress for a satin mini for the reception, where 150 guests including Sharon Stone, Justin Timberlake and then-girlfriend Cameron Diaz, were treated to renditions of Aguilera's "Lady Marmalade" and "At Last." The three-day honeymoon followed at a small resort in the Napa Valley.

British actress Amanda Redman marries in English countryside

2010-09-05T13:29:00.000-07:00

British actress Amanda Redman, star of the TV series New Tricks, was married on Saturday, September 4 to her boyfriend of 12 years. Damian Schnabel, at 13th Century Maunsel House in Taunton, Somerset.

Redman, 53, and 38-year-old Schnabel were married in front of 200 friends and family. Schnabel wore a blue suit, and Redman donned a halterneck gown by British designed Ritva Westenius. To prepare for the wedding day, Redman had been hitting the gym for two and a half hours five days a week, and had banned carbs and wine from her diet.

Guests including actors Ray Winstone, who did a reading at the ceremony, and Sheila Hancock, as well as New Tricks costars Dennis Waterman, Alun Armstong, and James Bolam, attended the outdoor ceremony and "boozy" reception, held on the manor grounds under a wood patio ("pegola").

Last week, Redman admitted that the wedding would be alcohol-friendly: "We are having a lot of booze and my horror would be to run out. We always hold parties at our house and we want people to have fun. I would be horrified if they stood there thinking they wanted to go home."

The bride's attendants were her two best friends, Freda and Liz, and her 23-year-old daughter daughter Emily Glenister - who sang for the couple at the reception to accompagny the first dance. Emily is Redman's daughter with first husband Robert Glenister, to whom she was married from 1984 to 1992.

Redman and Schnabel, a cell-phone designer, met in 199 and dated until 2003. They reunited in 2006 and earlier this year announced their engagement while on holiday last year.

In a recent interview with Good Housekeeping magazine, Redman said of the couple's 15-year age difference, "I'm the one giving him a young outlook - he's like an old man. He's far more grown-up than me and that works brilliantly. To have someone who's more mature than me in every way apart from physically is marvellous, frankly."

Last month, Redman and 13 friends travelled to Brussels for a blue-themed hen's weekend.

Top Chef winner Harold Dieterle weds in Atlanta

2010-09-05T12:59:00.000-07:00

After winning the first series of Bravo reality show Top Chef in 2006, Manhattan restaurant owner Harold Dieterle attended the annual Food + Wine Cooking Expo in Aspen, Colorado - one of his prizes for winning. It was there, at an event after party, that he met fellow foodie Meredith Davies. Together almost four years, they married Saturday, September 4 in Davies' hometown of Atlanta.

The ceremony took place at a downtown church, followed by a reception at the Capital City Club of Atlanta. Davies wore a Pnina Tornai gown for the ceremony, and Dieterle wore a white dinner jacket by Paul Stuart.

Scissor Sisters' Ana Matronic talks married life

2010-09-05T11:50:00.000-07:00

Ana Matronic (real name Lynch), the only female in the dance rock band The Scissor Sisters, recently sat down to talk to the Daily Mail about the band's upcoming tour and also touched on being a newlywed - she married longtime boyfriend Seth Kirby in late April at New York City Hall.

Matronic recalls, "We got married because...OK, I should back up a little bit. Seth does lights and visuals for bands and he works with this man Josh White, who did the visuals at Woodstock. Josh has been married to his wife Alice for 32 years, and Josh and Seth had just done a gig and it came out that Seth and I weren’t officially married. Josh and Alice couldn’t believe it, because we had been referring to each other as husband and wife for years. Seth came home and said, 'God, I just got an earful from Josh and Alice,' and we were just talking about it over the next few days and then it was like, 'Yeah, yeah, we should do it, we should do it.' I was on the computer and I looked down and he was on his knees and he said, 'Will you marry me?' and I said yes and he said, 'Will you fill out the paperwork and we’ll go right now?' So we went to City Hall that day, got the paperwork, then waited six days and did it officially."

Witnesses at the City Hall ceremony were Josh White, Seth's sister Kate and roommate Joe. After the Scissor Sisters upcoming tour, the couple plans to have a party for friends and family and go on a honeymoon.

Asked what marriage means to her, Matronic said, "Marriage? It’s just better and deeper. It’s like the difference between dating someone and dating someone you’re in love with. It’s that next logical step."

She also sees children in the couple's future, saying, "I love the idea. There are a lot of idiots having children in the world these days, so we should probably put a good one out there!"

Katy Perry wants dual citizenship with marriage to Russell Brand

2010-09-04T14:01:00.000-07:00

Promoting her latest album in Britain this past week, singer Katy Perry told Channel 4 that she would eventually like to get her dual citizenship once she marries British comedian Russell Brand.

“I love London and just being here. I’ve decided that when the day does come, I will become a dual citizen. Then I can just pass through Customs real quick. You’ve already kind of adopted me so maybe I don’t have to go through all the paperwork?”

As California preacher's daughter Katy assimilates into life with wild, raunchy Brand, she reveals that she recently dyed her black hair with streaks of claret and blue - the colours of Brand's beloved football team, West Ham United. She also expressed her disappointment that she can't get her West Ham official toaster to properly burn the team logo on her toast. “I can’t get the imprints on the toast, it’s so depressed."

Britney not marrying Jason Trawick

2010-09-04T13:39:00.000-07:00

At least, not yet.

Despite checking out a wedding chapel on the grounds of Maui's Grand Wailea Resort, where she's currently on vacation with boyfriend Jason Trawick, and tearfully watching a wedding ceremony below her hotel balcony two days later, a source tells People that rumours that Britney Spears, 29, is considering marriage to 38-year-old Trawick, her former agent.

"They're really taking things day by day and really enjoying their time," says the source, though they did say that "of course" Spears and Trawick talk about the future. Trawick "really cares for her, deeply cares for the kids and loves her," says another source, referring to the stars sons Preston, 4, and Jayden, 3, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

The couple became an item last year, and as their relationship grew the couple cut professional ties. Spears was previously married to Federline, and was wed for 55 hours to childhood friend Jason Alexander, whom she married over a whirlwind New Year's Eve in Las Vegas in 2004.

Mexican singer Juan Gabriel has never confirmed reports he's gay, but this week in Mexico City his former assistant announced his engagement to Spanish boyfriend Jas Devael.

Actor Brian J. White marries in Beverly Hills

2010-09-02T10:58:00.001-07:00

And hey, since it fits, before we get started, happy 90210!

On Saturday, August 28th, actor Brian J. White (of Stomp the Yard and The Wire fame) married his girlfriend Paula Da Silva, a marketing exec, in Beverly Hills. The wedding took place at All Saints Parish Church in the luxury zip code, with a reception that followed at The Foundry on Melrose Avenue, complete with a Polite in Public photobooth - a growing wedding trend among the rich and fabulous. Guests also dined on a wedding cake baked with layers of carrot, red velvet, and marble cake with Kahlua cream frosting.

Da Silva's strapless gown came from R. Mine Bridal.

Of his wedding day, White told HipHollywood.com that he loved sharing the day with everyone he loves in the world, and called himself "blessed" because he got to marry his best friend.

The couple were engaged in January while on vacation on St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. Around that time, White posted the following passage on his Facebook page, calling it, "What falling in love with Paula Da Silva taught me."

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so out of control that you have to transform your life…” -Elizabeth Gilbert

Guests at the ceremony included actors Taraji P. Henson, Columbus Short and Tia Mowry, singers Dave Hollister and Esthero, and director Sylvain White. White once played in the NFL for the New England Patriots, and is the son of retired Boston Celtics star Jo Jo White.

This is the first marriage for both, who are off on a honeymoon in Barbados next week.

Bachelor stars Jesse Csincsak and Ann Lueders were married on Saturday at Las Vegas' Rumor Hotel, and Life & Style has published the first photo, showing Csincsak in a black suit and Lueders wearing a strapless gown by Oleg Cassini.

"I would never have thought last November when I met Ann that I'd be here marrying her here today," Csincsak told the mag of the day they met on a Bachelor reunion cruise. "Ann is the woman of my dreams. I just wanted her to have the special day she deserves."

Friends and family (there was 150 in attendance) dined on food created by celeb chef Vic Vegas, and ate red velvet Stefanie cupcakes for dessert. Gift bags were stocked with stuffings from sponsors, including Vivitar Cameras, Energy Muse Jewelry, Best Buy gift cards, and more.

The newlyweds are on honeymoon at a "secret location" - though we might expect that their honeymoon photo exclusives will be in next week's Life & Style. They expect son Noah in December.

(Yes, believe us, it pains us to have to include the inset cover of the mag in the shot with yet another ridic Brangelina headline. Leave Shiloh alone, she's a BABY.)

Brit Shameless star Tina Malone's gastric band success for wedding day

2010-09-01T15:00:00.000-07:00

British actress Tina Malone, 47, a star of the comedy Shameless since 2005, was fitted with a gastric band to aid in her weight loss in March, and by her wedding day in Manchester, England on Saturday, August 28th she had lost over 60 lbs. It was the first time in years that Malone could fit into a size 14 (size 10 in North America).

A guest told the Manchester Evening News, “In her regal cream dress she literally looked half her age and looked tiny after losing all that weight, she really was the most beautiful bride. ”

Malone married personal trainer Paul Chase, 28, who at 19 years younger than Malone is the same age as her daughter, Danielle. They met in 2009 after Malone, at her heaviest, was evicted from the UK's Celebrity Big Brother.

Defending the age difference, Malone tells Closer magazine, "People had plenty to say about the age difference, but at the end of the day, love is love, isn’t it?"

Aussie actress Kate Richie planning small, intimate wedding

2010-09-01T13:18:00.000-07:00

Australian actress Kate Richie and her former rugby league fiance Stuart Webb are planning to wed in a small, intimate ceremony later this year, and Richie spoke about her preparations in a recent issue of Aussie mag Woman's Day.

“I’d like to think I will be a bride who, at the end of the night, can say she’s spoken to everyone individually. I think that will be the advantage of it being small and intimate,” says Richie, modelling gowns for the magazine. She was recently spotted in Sydney shopping for a dress with her sister, Rebekah, and is keeping the basic wedding details - when, where, how - to herself, but calls the day her "dream wedding."

Says Richie, who has been working hard to tone up for her wedding day, "We’re concentrating on it being the day we want it to be.”

The couple were engaged on a European holiday together last September. It will be the first marriage for both.

Brit soap star's dramatic real-life romance leads to engagement announcement

2010-08-31T10:35:00.000-07:00

EastEnders soap star Sid Owen sleeps in a separate bed than his longtime girlfriend, 26-year-old Polly Parsons, but that didn't stop the pair from secretly getting engaged six months ago. Nor did it stop them from postponing a planned September ceremony after a two-month split earlier this year.

Owen, 38, who is also a former British pop star, proposed to Parsons while on holiday in Barbados six months ago. Owen and Parsons tell OK! about the romantic proposal.

"There was a raft out at sea which we'd swim out to," says Owen. "I didn't have a ring so I got this guy on the beach to make one out of beads in the reggae colours, as I love my reggae, and I put that in my back pocket and we swam out there and I proposed."

"It was really romantic," says Parsons.

'Romantic' does little to describe how this happy couple spend their nights - apart, in separate bedrooms. Then again, Parsons reasoning for sleeping alone may have a lot to do with why they're so blissfully happy these days.

"He snores like a rhino," she says. "After we went traveling I had to be honest with him about it," says Polly, 'and he said he liked having his own bed anyway so it was perfect. I'll stay in Sid's bed watching TV cuddling. If I fall asleep in his room I soon hear him snoring and get up anyway and go into my room. People think it's weird but it works for us."

The couple were originally planning to wed in September but split when the pressure of pulling together the big day became too much for Parsons. "We had about a thousand people coming! It would have been about everyone else - now we've had time apart, we know what's important. It just started to get out of hand and it scared me."

During their time apart, Owen took off for a detox centre in Thailand, but the couple say they spoke daily in order to get their relationship back on track. As for where and when the couple will finally wed, the couple tells OK! they plan to take their time and will wed "maybe next year."

But they'll have to compromise - Owen wants a wedding at his 600-year-old farmhouse in France, but Polly wants to return to Barbados.

2010-08-30T22:53:00.000-07:00

In order to avoid the attention of a celebrity wedding, seeming odd couple Konnie Huq of TV's X Factor and acerbic TV critic Charlie Brooker eloped in Las Vegas on Monday, July 26th.

A friend told the Mirror, “They wanted to marry as soon as possible and managed to squeeze a few days out of their schedules. It was simple and elegant. Konnie wore a white dress and Charlie wore a suit. They’re blissfully happy and are thrilled to be married.”

They had reportedly intended to wed earlier this year after secretly dating for nine months, but pushed it back when Huq signed on to host The Xtra Factor. Of their percieved differences, Huq told in a recent interview, “We’re not ‘opposites attract’ as people think. I’ve got an evil sense of humour and Charlie’s more of a softie than you’d think.”

The party continued Sunday with a public pool party at the Rumor Hotel. "I'm just loving life," Csinscak told People. "I have a gorgeous, gorgeous bride. I'm so psyched. The whole weekend has gone by so quickly. I haven't had a minute to nap or anything. I think I've had 12 hours of sleep in three days."

BBUK 2010 winner to marry her 'showmance'?

2010-08-30T15:33:00.000-07:00

Just last week, UK Big Brother crowned Josie Gibson, 25, the winner of the final series of the British reality TV program, which has been a huge hit there since it debuted a decade ago. While inside the house, she got close to fellow finalist, 24-year-old Aussie John James Parton, and now the Daily Mail says insiders claim they're engaged.

Though the couple have not confirmed reports they're engaged, they have both alluded to the possibility. In an interview with Britain's Daily Star this weekend, Gibson said, "I want John James to be my husband. It's always been in the back of my mind. I've never loved someone like this. My mum has given us her blessing as well. I spoke to her about our plans and she says she loves him."

From the same article, Parton said, "I want to get married too. I was thinking about it while we were in the house. Josie is definitely marriage material and I really love her."

No matter whether or not it's true - Big Brother showmances generally don't last. In the UK version, only Grace Adams-Short and Mikey Dalton's relationship lasted - they wed last year after meeting on the 2006 series. In the US version, no showmances have reached the altar, but 2009's supercouple, Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd, are still going strong.

UK's 'Combat Barbie' gets married

2010-08-30T14:45:00.000-07:00

Katrina Hodge, reigning Miss England and so-called Combat Barbie due to her status as Lance Corporal in the British Army, took the nation by storm when she showed that women in the military could also be drop-dead gorgeous.

Hodge secretly married fiance Neil (also a military man, whose last name can't be revealed for security purposes) in Sri Lanka in June for friends and family, after registering the marriage in Brighton, England in April. Neil is said to have proposed after the Miss England contest last July, where Hodge placed second. She gained the crown in November after the winner, Rachel Christie, was caught fighting in a nightclub brawl and stripped of the title.

Part of the rules of being Miss England and a potential Miss World candidate include being a single woman - but because she was crowned in November and the Miss World pageant took place in December 2009, before the June wedding, Hodge broke no rules. Still, she kept the marriage a secret until her reign as Miss England came to an official end.

The Daily Mail quotes Hodge as saying, "I'm just pleased my secret is out in the open now. I wanted to do my duty as Miss England and even though the wedding was planned, I had to keep it a secret until now because having the Miss England crown meant so much to me."

Hodge is said to have worn a recycled wedding dress for the ceremony, and may reveal her gown at a Miss England Eco party in Birmingham tomorrow.

Echoing the sentiments of many newly-engaged and overwhelmed couples, Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky and her fiance, Roberto Martinez, would be happy to elope if it wouldn't disappoint their relatives.

“I think we would do just that,” Fedotowsky told People last week. “Obviously we want to share it with our family, so we’re not going to do that. But it’s so funny — I’ve even caught myself saying, ‘This is my husband Roberto.’ I always thought it would be funny to even think or say that, but if anything, I feel like it’s hard for me not to say it.”

Fedotowsky added, “Planning a wedding is a lot, and we don’t want to go through all the motions. We just want to be married. We’re just excited for that. We’re like, ‘Let’s be married — right now!’"

Fedotowsky and Martinez are currently trying to put together a spring 2011 wedding ceremony, and Fedotowsky is leaning toward wearing Monique Lhuillier on her wedding day.

Robbie Williams had secret "honey half-moon" before wedding

2010-08-26T22:18:00.000-07:00

Britain's The Mirror is reporting that before Robbie Williams married girlfriend Ayda Field at their home in Beverly Hills, he whisked her away to the Hotel La Residencia in Majorca, Spain - a former home of billionaire Richard Branson. The luxurious villa features a private hot tub, stunning sea views, and is set among olive and citrus orchards.

The couple honeymooned before the ceremony in order to avoid the media attention that would follow the announcement of the wedding. An insider tells The Mirror

"The couple wanted to luxuriate in being man and wife, away from prying eyes. They are both home-lovers at heart. Their pre-wedding break. Robbie was a real softie. He kept surprising Ayda with flowers, small gifts and notes the entire time."

Friends have reportedly dubbed their getaway "the honey half-moon."

The couple dined more than once at the hotel's El Olivo restaurant, and one night, the insider says, Williams serenaded Field in front of other guests and received a standing ovation.

Katy Perry & Russell Brand top wedding to crash, says Press Association

2010-08-26T22:10:00.000-07:00

A recent poll by the UK Press Association found that 26 per cent of Brits would like to attend the wedding of Russell Brand and Katy Perry, beating our Prince William and Kate Middleton (13 per cent) and even Brad and Angelina. Other British celebrity couples fared less well - only three per cent of respondents are interested in attending the wedding of footballer Frank Lampard and TV host Christine Bleakley.

Some rumours have suggested that the wedding of Brand, 34, and 25-year-old Perry may have already taken place, though the singer has said it will take place later this year - even though she says she has no time to plan it. One thing is for certain - Perry won't be wearing latex.

Greek Royal Wedding: Prince Nikolaos weds Tatiana Blatnik

2010-08-26T13:21:00.000-07:00

The Greek monarchy was deposed in the 1973 and today its members hold their titles in courtesy, but their social status still earns them a celebrity distinction around the world. Now, primarily, most members of the royal family reside in London, England.

Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark, the second son of King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie (sister to Queen Margrethe of Denmark), was married to his London-based girlfriend Tatiana Blatnik, an events planner for Diane Von Furstenburg, on Thursday, August 25th. The ceremony took place inside the Cathedral of Ayios Nikolaos on the Greek island of Spetses. Approximately 350 guests accompanied the Greek royal family for the ceremony, including newlywed Princess Victoria of Sweden and husband Daniel, Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit of Norway (quietly celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary during yesterday's celebrations), Queen Margrethe, Prince Frederick and Mary of Denmark, Spain's Queen Sofia (Constantine's sister), Prince Willem and Maxima of the Netherlands, and the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.

Blatnik wore Angel Sanchez for the ceremony, to which she arrived in a horse-drawn carriage - we wonder if she had a Von Furstenburg wrap dress on hand for the reception ;)

But other than that, Fedotowsky says planning every detail has been "almost overwhelming."

No date has been set, but the couple are looking at some time in the spring. She tells Us, "We've had so many people being like 'oh, we'll do a new song for you!' and 'we'll give you this, we'll give you that', and we're so appreciative. We have to sit back and go through everything and figure it out. It's going to happen!"

The couple recently moved into an apartment together in San Diego, and Fedotowsky says they won't fall prey to the Bachelor curse. "We don't even think of it like 'are we going to make it a month? Are we going to make it six months?'" she said. "When we're talking about doing things, we're like 'babe, we have the rest of our lives, that can wait, we can do that later, we have our whole lives.' We're going to make it!"

Boy do we love it when a celeb sells their most private moments to make money from a magazine...Hilary Duff, you're our new favourite.

When she went on a three-day honeymoon with Mike Comrie in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, OK! followed along and revealed all the details of their private beach getaway with personal chef and exclusive villa.

Kiefer Sutherland and girlfriend: not engaged despite diamond sparkler

2010-08-26T09:41:00.000-07:00

Spotted enjoying a meal while on vacation in Portofino, Italy, 24 action hero Kiefer Sutherland and girlfriend Siobhan Bonnouvrier set tabs off with rumours the pair will wed when Bonnouvrier was photographed with a diamond ring on that finger.

Except, Sutherland's reps have denied the pair are engaged - which is fine by us, because everyone who dates Jack Bauer winds up dead.

Sutherland has a stepdaughter Michelle (and stepgrandson Hamish), and daughter Sarah Jude, with ex-wife Camelia Kath.

Bret Michaels: Odds of marrying Kristi Gibson "50/50"

2010-08-25T11:12:00.000-07:00

Just a few short years ago, Poison frontman Bret Michaels and his on-off girlfriend of 16 years, Kristi Gibson, were probably facing odds of "1 in 100" to wed, the rocker told People this week in Las Vegas. In that time, he completed three seasons of his reality dating show Rock of Love, but wound up single every time. But now, following a near-fatal brain hemorrhage earlier this year, Michaels says the odds of marrying Gibson are now about "50/50."

"We've been talking a lot about getting engaged, and we'll see what happens," said Michaels of Gibson, with whom he has daughters Raine, 10, and Jorja, 5. "We just want to make sure we're not doing it for anyone other than ourselves."

Though the couple were separated when Michaels suffered a brain hemorrhage in the spring, they grew closer than ever during his recovery and live nearby each other in Arizona.

Adds Michaels, a workaholic who hosted the Miss Universe pageant from Sin City Monday night, "Fate has a strange way of intervening in your life, and I think everything just kind of came together," he says. "Hopefully we'll get engaged. But if we don't, we'll still love and respect each other."

Jesse Csincsak & Ann Lueders talk wedding with People

2010-08-24T15:55:00.000-07:00

Getting married on August 28th in Las Vegas, Bachelor/ette alums Jesse Csincsak and Ann Lueders recently shared some of the details with People.

The night before the ceremony, the couple will throw a rehearsal barbeque poolside at their venue - Vegas' Rumor Hotel. Chef Vic Vegas will prepare a "fun, simple menu for people that like to eat. Nothing fancy or outrageous," Csincsak says.

The rehearsal dinner menu includes: a Peruvian purple potato salad, tortellini pasta pesto salad and an arugula, strawberry and Gorgonzola salad to start. From the barbeque, guests will be served corn on the cob and Jalapeño corn muffins.

Vegetarians beware, the entrees are all about meat: shredded BBQ short ribs, Jamaican jerked honey chicken, Italian sausages with peppers and onions, and Guinness braised bratwurst sausages with sauerkraut.

A dessert of strawberry Twinkie shortcake will finish the rehearsal dinner, but none of it is scaring off Lueders, currently four months pregnant with a wedding gown to fit into in a matter of days.

"The dress is still the same one I originally picked out," she says, "and then it's just a matter of making sure we don't have to let it out much at all. I'm not really showing very much – so I have my fingers crossed just making sure the dress still fits because I really haven't gained too much weight. I think I've gained four pounds, total."

If you'll excuse us, please, we're suddenly very hungry...

Jason Kidd reportedly engaged to baby mama

2010-08-24T14:58:00.000-07:00

NBA star Jason Kidd has proposed to his girlfriend, Porschla Coleman, a former model and the mother of Kidd's youngest child, born January 24, 2010.

Soon after the birth of their child the couple split, but if MediaTakeOut's sources are correct, the pair found their way back. No wedding plans have been announced, but if true this will be Coleman's first marriage (though she famously dated hip hop mogul Russell Simmons), and Kidd's second. He is estranged and recently divorced from ex-wife Joumana, mother of his son and twin daughters.

Ringless Abbey Clancy still won't comment on status of relationship with Peter Crouch

2010-08-24T13:42:00.000-07:00

British model/TV presenter Abbey Clancy is turning up everywhere without her engagement ring from Team England footballer Peter Crouch following revelations earlier this month that he's a cheating rat - namely a rat who bedded a teenage prostitute. But Clancy won't comment one way or another in regards to whether or not the pair are together or splitting - and friends tell The Daily Mail that's because "She feels very lost."

Adds the source, "Abbey is throwing herself back into work to take her mind off the painful situation. She still feels so angry, and isn't really speaking to Pete. She's also terrified of taking him back and then finding out there have been more girls. Abbey is feeling exhausted, anxious and tearful. She's said that things will now go either way but that it will work out for the best. She's going through so many different emotions at the moment - it's tough but she's a fighter. She's not gong to be easy on Pete, that's for sure."

Clancy has previously spoken of her trust in Crouch, once telling OK!: "There are loads of footballers who are happily married and you don't hear anything about them. Everyone chats Peter up, and it doesn't matter if I'm there or not. It amuses me and Peter doesn't take any notice of them."

Follow Elin and Sandra's lead and dump him, Abbey! No one needs that kind of crap!

Oprah's former chef has 'big gay wedding' in D.C.

2010-08-24T11:51:00.000-07:00

Celebrity chef Art Smith - who was Oprah Winfrey's personal chef for 10 years - was married to his boyfriend of 10 years, artist Jesus Salgueiro, on Saturday, August 21st in the nation's capital. The blessing was witnessed by 485 guests at the base of the Lincoln Memorial.

The day began with Smith and Salgueiro leading all their guests on a four mile run from Smith's own Art and Soul Restaurant on Capitol Hill to the symbol of civil rights and freedoms, and they obtained a protest permit in order to gather at the base of the monument with so many friends and family, who had flown in from all over the world to witness the ceremony. Same-sex marriage has been legal in D.C. since March, and the wedding was officiated by former Oprah show spiritualist Marianne Williamson.

"It was this big gay wedding," Smith said. "But it was a wedding made up our friends from all over the world."

During the ceremony, Williamson recounted the highlights of their love story - Smith proposed to Salgueiro on their first date, leaving the artist wondering if he had just met "a crazy man or the love of his life. He took 10 years to consider."

In those ten years, the couple were brought together by Salgueiro's three bouts with cancer. Their self-penned vows highlighted their deep love for one another.

"I am an artist, but you are the Art — my art," Salgueiro said. "Without you, the canvas of my life would be empty and bare."

"While I may set the table, be it known that you are the banquet and the feast," Smith told Salgueiro.

A reception at Art and Soul followed, with guests sipping Prosecco sparkling wine while a cellist and violinist performed Bach.Guests included designer Nate Berkus (also of Oprah show fame), Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., Fox News broadcaster Chris Wallace, former NFL lineman Warren Sapp, and Chicago drag queen Chilli Pepper. Winfrey did not attend, but her Harpo Productions were one of many corporate donors that helped the couple throw such a lavish party.

Smith also turned to his celeb chef friends and colleagues to create a Southern-inspired wedding menu - Duff Goldman of The Food Network's Ace of Cakes created the nine-tier wedding cake with green fondant, Top Chef's Lee Anne Wong created a fingerling potato salad, Rey Villalobos and John Vermiglio of Smith's Table Fifty-Two restaurant in Chicago contributed buttermilk fried chicken, smoked brisket was prepared by Hill Country's Elizabeth Karmel; and barbecue pulled pork was on the menu from Smith's fellow BBQ Pitmaster judge Myron Mixon.

Though Smith has lost over 100 lbs. in the past year and the morning job was in celebration of his success, he tells People, "Barbecue has always been a favorite of mine," says Smith. "And I said if we don't serve fried chicken, we're going to have a riot!"

In lieu of gifts, the couple requested that donations be made to Common Threads, a charity Smith started teaching low-income kids to cook nutritious meals.

Keyshia Cole married Boobie Gibson?

2010-08-24T10:51:00.000-07:00

According to a source at MediaTakeOut, R&B singer Keyshia Cole married NBA star Daniel "Boobie" Gibson in a secret Malibu ceremony earlier this month. The only 'proof' might be that Gibson refers to Cole as his wife on his personal website. In May, the couple threw the urban blog off their tail by leaking plans to postpone the wedding while Cole worked on her next studio album. If the wedding took place, that's what we call mission: accomplished.

The couple welcomed their first child, son Daniel Jr. in March.

Rapper Shawty Lo's engagement lasts "probably" a month

2010-08-24T10:40:00.000-07:00

Don't let this tearful video deceive you - there really isn't much love lost between rapper Shawty Lo (real name Carlos Walker) and his on-off girlfriend of 10 years, Ecreia Perez. In June the rapper proposed at a surprise birthday party for Perez in Atlanta, but within a month he'd called it off. He recently spoke to MTV News about the split.

"Things happen. I can't point no fingers. We were separated, the engagement lasted probably a month. I love her still, but it's time to move on. It's over. I'm finnin' (feeling ready) to move on. I got everything new going for me."

When asked to elaborate, Shawty would only say: "Something happened that I found out. Me, being a man, you just can't deal with certain stuff, put up with certain stuff. So, you know, it's better for us to separate. I can't talk about it. That my daughter's mother. I got much respect for her. ... (But) yeah, I'm single right now."

In total, Shawty has 10 children, including his daughter with Perez, from various relationships.

Pro cyclist Frank Schleck marries in Mamer

2010-08-23T14:04:00.000-07:00

One of the tiny nation of Luxembourg's most famous sons - professional road cyclist Frank Schleck - celebrated a religious wedding ceremony on Saturday, August 21st with Martine Schmid, who gave birth to their daughter Leea in April.

The couple were legally married on New Year's Eve 2009 at the City Hall in Mondorf, Luxembourg, but waited until summer to celebrate with friends and family at the Church of John the Baptist in Mamer, Luxembourg, built in 1723. Fellow cyclists including Kim Kirchen and Fabian Cancellara attended, as did Schleck's fellow cyclist brother Andy - Luxembourg's reigning Man of the Year. Andy escorted the bride to the church in a white convertible.

Forgoing traditional rice, confetti, or even bubbles, the couple emerged from the church under an arch of bicycle wheels held high by attendants, to waiting crowds cheering them on.

The pair were engaged last year while on vacation at the Lions Dive & Beach Resort in Bapor Kibra, Curacao - a Dutch island in the Caribbean Sea just north of Venezuela.

Swizz Beatz describes wedding to Alicia Keys - "Just wow."

2010-08-23T12:42:00.000-07:00

In a recent interview with Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos, rapper Swizz Beatz showed that he's still very much in the midst of wedded bliss with his pregnant new bride, R&B singer Alicia Keys.

“Everything was just wow, it was a blessing,” he said. “It was positive energy, and we’re still in those moments.”

The couple followed their July 31st wedding at a private estate on the French Mediterranean island of Corsica with a week honeymooning on a yacht in the south of France. Their first child, reportedly a girl, is due in October. Beatz - whose real name is Kasseem Dean, but is called "Baba" by his wife - has three children from previous relationships. He split from first wife Mashonda Tifrere after she discovered he was cheating with Keys.

Tiger & Elin - a look back

2010-08-23T11:59:00.000-07:00

With the announcement today that Tiger Woods' divorce from Swedish former nanny Elin Nordegren is final, let's look back to the pair in a much happier time - their October 5, 2004 wedding at the Sandy Lane Resort in St. James, Barbados. The rumoured cost of the event, with the relaxed couple enjoying an extended break at the resort both before and after the ceremony (Woods rented every room in the hotel for seven days), was $1.5 million.

Among the 120 guests at the ultra-private ceremony (to this day, an official wedding photo has never been leaked) were celebrity heavyweights Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, and Bill Gates. Four tents were set up on the resort grounds for the ceremony, and the vows were taken under a pagoda decorated with hundreds of imported black magic roses. The ceremony was officiated by a local Anglican priest.

Woods wore a beige suit, and Nordegren wore an off-white sleeveless scoop-neck gown with horizontal ribbon detail.

Guests dined on champagne and caviar, and blackened Scottish salmon at the reception held in the resort's banquet room, while entertainment included a performance by Hootie & the Blowfish and a fireworks display.

Over American Thanksgiving weekend last year, Woods' was busted (and beaten with his own clubs) by Nordegren when she learned of his unbelievably long trail of infidelities with call girls all over the world. Friends have been saying the couple was headed for divorce ever since, though neither had said the word themselves. Some legal experts claim that Nordegren, who did sign a prenup but had it renegotiated after the scandal, could walk away with up to $100 million in a divorce settlement.

UPDATE: American Chopper star weds - but dad skips the ceremony

2010-08-23T11:18:00.000-07:00

TMZ is reporting that Paul Teutel, Jr., one of the star's of TLC's American Choppers, was married to girlfriend Rachel Biester on Saturday, August 21st at the Bonnet Island Estate in Manahwakin, New Jersey. There was 135 guests in attendance, but not Teutel's father and costar, Paul Sr., who skipped the ceremony over the pair's ongoing legal battles - Sr. is suing his son for over $1 million because Jr. won't sell Dad his stock in the family's company, OC Choppers, Inc. In spite of this, Teutel Sr. was reportedly invited to the wedding. Jr's costar and younger brother, Mikey, was best man.

The couple - who met when Biester guested on an episode of American Choppers and whose relaionship has been featured since on the show, crossed over to fellow TLC reality shyows Say Yes to the Dress and Cake Boss for help putting their wedding day together. Biester selected a Pnina Tornai wedding gown on a recently aired episode of Say Yes to the Dress, and the folks at Cake Boss created a six-tier pink velvet wedding cake with lemon buttercream frosting.

At the end of the ceremony the newlyweds released hundreds of butterflies into the air as a string quartet performed The Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun." The wedding also featured $28,000 in floral arrangements.

An upcoming episode of American Choppers will almost certainly focus on the wedding day; stay tuned!

The Munsters' Butch Patrick to marry longtime fan

2010-08-22T17:00:00.000-07:00

Actor Butch Patrick, 57, best known as young son Eddie on the hit TV show The Munsters in the 1960s, will marry former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donna McCall, who has been a fan of the actor for 25 years.

McCall, 56, is giving some sort of twisted hope to women everywhere, where the man of her dreams falls in love with her. McCall started writing letters to Patrick in 1964, but back then she was just one in a sea of fan letters the actor received. But when The Munsters ended, she continued writing - she kept writing to Patrick for the rest of her life.

Recently she wrote a letter to the email address on his website, and Butch replied - with his phone number. "I was really,really nervous when I called him," she tells the Philadelphia Examiner. "I felt like I was 10-years old again. He put me quite at ease. He even handed the phone to his mom and I got to talk to her for a little bit."

The two stayed in contact and finally met face to face at DRACULACON, fell in love, and Patrick proposed. The pair did not announce any wedding plans.

Us Magazine reports that True Blood costars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer were married this evening at a private residence in Malibu, California.

Many carried wedding gifts in purple boxes with purple bows.

Paquin, with her hair in an updo, wore a white halter-neck gown for the sunset ceremony, and Moyer wore a dark suit.

"It was a beautiful evening to get married and the sunset was gorgeous. Anna and Stephen seemed very excited to celebrate their wedding day," a source told People.

The couple met and fell in love early on the set of HBO's hit supernatural saga, but kept their relationship private until February 2009. The couple announced their engagement last August but discussed little about their wedding plans.

This is Paquin and Moyer's first marriage, though Moyer has son Billy and daughter Lilac from previous relationships.

Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Albert III weddings

2010-08-21T21:53:00.000-07:00

Bachelor monarch Prince Albert II of Monaco announced his engagement to former South African swimmer Charlene Wittsock in July, with a wedding date set for Saturday, July 2nd (civil) and Sunday, July 3rd (religious) in the tiny European principality.

Never married Albert, 52, has been dating Wittsock since 2006, but had always kept his intentions to wed, and father a natural heir to the throne, to himself. He has an 18-year-old daughter, Jazmin, with a woman in California, and a four-year-old son, Alexandre, with Togan flight attendant Nicole Coste. He has paid child support to both children, but neither are heirs to the Monegasque throne due to being born out of wedlock.

And on June 19th, Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria was married to her former personal trainer Daniel Westling at the Storkyrkan Cathedral in Stockholm, Sweden. Thousands of well-wishers lined the streets to catch a glimpse of their future queen, while hundreds of guests witnessed the traditional ceremony inside the church - the largest gathering of the world's royalty since the wedding of Prince Felipe of Spain to Letizia Ortiz in 2004.

The princess wore a gown created by Swedish designer Par Engsheven and borrowed the cameo tiara and veil worn by her mother, Queen Silvia, on the same date 34 years ago. Archbishop Anders Wejryd of the Swedish Lutheran Church presided over the ceremony - through most of which the groom was in tears, gently wiped away by his bride.

The newlyweds embarked on a six-week honeymoon in Tahiti, New York City, Colorado, and at the summer cottage of Westling's parents, Olle and Eva, in Acktjara, Sweden.

Michael Buble wearing male engagement ring

2010-08-21T21:35:00.000-07:00

Canadian pop singer Michael Buble announced recently he will marry his girlfriend Luisana Lopilato next year in her native Argentina, and now he's been spotted getting into one of Lopilato's family traditions - a male engagement ring.

While on tour last week, Buble explained on stage, "The boy also wears the ring in Argentina. That's what she tells me, anyway."

The couple met at a concert afterparty in Buenos Aires in 2008, and she inspired the song "Haven't Met You Yet" off his most recent album - and then starred in the video. The couple plan to split their time between his native Vancouver and Buenos Aires, where he recently purchased a home.

Buble's ex, British actress Emily Blunt, married The Office star John Krasinski on July 10th in Como, Italy.

Jude Law and Sienna Miller reportedly joined in traditional Baci marriage blessing

2010-08-21T20:37:00.000-07:00

It's not a legally recognized wedding in their home country, the United Kingdom, but The Daily Mail reports that British actors Jude Law and Sienna Miller were blessed in a traditional Baci ceremony while on holiday in Laos in April. The couple were on holiday at the deluxe Amantaka Hotel in Luang Prabang, the capital.

In the ceremony, a village shaman joins the wrists with string and gifts the couple with red and white string bracelets to mark the union. Law was spotted wearing a red and white string bracelet at the 2010 Tony Awards in May.

The Mail claims that the couple - who have yet to announce an engagement - are planning a larger ceremony for family and friends to take place in the next few months.

Law and Miller have dated on-and-off since 2005, and were previously engaged, but split when it was revealed he had slept with the nanny of his children with ex-wife Sadie Frost - Rafferty, 13, Iris, 9, and Rudy, 7. He also father a child with American Samantha Burke in 2009 - daughter Sophia Lee Burke.

Bachelorette Ali picks her wedding music

Engaged to Roberto Martinez on the finale of The Bachelorette this month, Ali Fedotowsky tells People that she's already set her plans for the music at her anticipated spring wedding.

“I want it to be simple: one person, one instrument and that’s it,” she says. “I think absolutely a violinist for that. My favorite music is like Jack Johnson, Schuyler Fisk … people who sit down with a guitar and sing. That’s what I want at our wedding — that rawness."

She also plans to celebrate Martinez' Latin heritage with the song "Bendita tu luz" by Mana, which he played for Fedotowsky on their first visit to their hideaway house before they were allowed to come out as a couple as the show aired. She also has plans to dance:

“Our wedding will be a lot of dancing and celebrating. A live band, and absolutely salsa dancing. Every kind of dancing! I’m actually envisioning Roberto and I making up a dance — a funny, quirky dance that people are going to laugh at.”

Martinez proposed on the season finale of The Bachelorette with a $50,000 Asscher-cut diamond engagement ring by Neil Lane. This will be the first marriage for both.

Royal cousin claims William and Kate engaged already, will marry in July

2010-08-20T10:01:00.001-07:00

A royal cousin is about to get a royal lashing - Prince Julius Eduard von Anhalt, Duke of Saxony, has told a British magazine that Prince William and his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton are already engaged and plan to announce it this fall - with a July wedding date in the works.

Prince Eduard refused to provide proof of invitation and refused to give the exact date of the ceremony, saying it was confidential. Which, in my experience, means he should have just kept his mouth shut entirely. Guess the man needs money, even if his invitation to the wedding of the decade is about to be revoked. A German publication is now speculating that the ceremony could take place on July 29th - the same day Charles wed Diana in 1981.

According to Eduard, the pair were engaged over the summer after "Kate issued William with an ultimatum: we marry or we break up. There are obviously no more objections from the public, so the engagement is set for this autumn. The wedding is set for July."

However, a source close to Prince William last night threw water on the flames, saying, "This gentleman does not know what he is talking about. Prince William has probably not even heard of him. The engagement is still an if, not a when."

Guess those bookies still have something to shoot for, then!

Kate Moss marriage rumours continue...

2010-08-20T09:24:00.000-07:00

You know, it must be fun being Kate Moss over in England. No matter who she dates, no matter what she does, if there is a ring on any one of her fingers, she must be getting married - even if she's never done it before and she's never led anyone to believe she was all that interested in actually being married - especially with the caliber of men she tends to go out with.

Which is not to say that British rock musician Jamie Hince of The Kills is in any way comparable to the disaster that is Pete Doherty, who dated Moss on and off for years.

This week in Italy, Moss was spotted with Hince at the annual horse races in Siena, and The Daily Mail pointed out that the couple were wearing similar rings on their "wedding fingers," to match the matching anchor tattoos on their left wrists. However, a friend told the Mail, "Kate and Jamie are closer than ever. They aren't married yet. It definitely looks like they are practicing for married life!"

Though the couple has never confirmed it, the Mail reported in February that Hince proposed to Moss on her 36th birthday earlier this year. Despite having a reportedly tempestuous relationship ever since meeting in September 2007, sources say that Hince has been a good influence on Moss, who has struggled with drug and alcohol in the past. Also, friends claim he gets along well with Moss' eight-year-old daughter, Lila, with magazine publisher Jefferson Hack.

Katy Perry won't wear a latex wedding dress

2010-08-19T16:00:00.000-07:00

Katy Perry and Russell Brand are said to be tying the knot before the end of the year, but the pair have done their best to keep many of the details private.

However, perry felt the need to set the record straight on one rumour in particular in a recent interview with People. "I'm definitely not going to get married in latex! When I wear latex onstage, I sweat. I could wring out those dresses – and I don't want to do that at my wedding."

Perry and Brand were engaged over the New Year's break in Jaipur, India - the trip was his Christmas gift to the singer. This will be the first marriage for the "I Kissed A Girl" preacher's daughter and the formerly drug and sex-addicted British comedian.

Hilary Swank will wait for marriage, babies

2010-08-17T14:07:00.000-07:00

Double Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank talks about love and family in cover article of September's InStyle, admitting that marriage and babies are not in her immediate future with John Campisi, her agent boyfriend of almost four years.

"I believe in the sanctity of marriage. John and I, you know, we were both in long marriages and it's not something that we need to rush back into," she says, referencing her 14-year marriage to actor Chad Lowe. She also plays 'stepmom' to Campisi's seven-year-old son, Sam, which for now is enough for her mothering instincts. She tells InStyle she'll wait until "the time is right" to have a baby of her own.

"Friends of mine and I talk about this. Does someone come into your life for a certain time, and then you are supposed to go your separate ways?" she wonders in the article. "There's a part of me that thinks that's true. There are friendships that we grow out of. But I believe in the long haul. I believe in having a monogamous relationship."

Marilyn Manson, Evan Rachel Wood call off engagement

2010-08-17T13:55:00.000-07:00

Actress Evan Rachel Wood, 22, and shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, 41, first started dating in 2006, before splitting twice in 2008. Quietly reuniting, they announced their engagement in January after Manson proposed on stage at a show in Paris.

And now, it seems the couple who can't seem to make up their mind have changed their tune again - a source tells People they split last week. Last night, Manson was spotted dining at L.A.'s STK and hitting up nighclub Boudoir next door with a group of friends including Playboy Playmate Colleen Shannon.

Rumour has it that Wood was the catalyst in Manson's divorce from burlesque queen Dita Von Teese, with whom he was married from December 2005 to their official divorce in December '06.

Kelsey Grammer ponders marriage for fourth time

2010-08-16T16:56:00.000-07:00

Last week, it was announced that former Frasier star Kelsey Grammer is expecting a baby with his British girlfriend Kayte Walsh, a 29-year-old flight attendant. When TMZ cameras caught up with the couple in New York, Grammer told them, "We're very happy. I think that [a wedding] makes some sense. I've got some other stuff I've got to clear up first."

Grammer's estranged wife, Camille Donatacci, filed for divorce from the actor this summer, and rumours suggest she could earn as much as $40 million from the split. No third party was blamed for the end of the marriage, but clearly Grammer had emotionally moved on well before the filing.

A wedding would be Grammer's fourth. He has daughter Spencer, 27, with first wife Doreen Alderman, daughter Greer, 18, with ex-girlfriend Barrie Buckner, and daughter Mason, 8, and son Jude, almost 6, with Donatacci. He was married for a short-time to Leigh-Anne Csuhany.

Retired Welsh footballer renews vows to celebrate beating cancer

2010-08-16T16:24:00.000-07:00

Welsh footballer John Hartson secretly married his longtime girlfriend, schoolteacher Sarah McManus, at a registry office in December, in the midst of a fight against testicular cancer that had spread to his brain. Upon receiving a clear scan, the couple renewed their vows July 23rd for friends and family at the luxurious Vale of Glamorgan Resort, 30 minutes from their home in Neath, Wales.

A wedding guest told The Mirror of the 35-year-old former Premiership star, "John's looking and feeling fantastic again. He wanted to have a big party to celebrate his wedding but he just wasn’t well enough when they first got married."

The vow renewal was witnessed by 200 guests, and a Scottish piper kicked off the ceremony in which Hartson donned a kilt. Guests dined on salmon and Welsh lamb, and danced late into the night in a banquet room of the hotel.

Hartson was previously married to Lowri Turner, mother of his daughters Rebecca, 11, and Joni, 7. He and McManus have been together since 2005 and have daughters Lena, 2, and Stephanie, five months.

Rush Limbaugh posts wedding photos on Facebook

2010-08-16T01:19:00.000-07:00

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh married Kathryn Rogers on June 5th in the Ponce de Leon ballroom of the Breakers Hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida, and much ado was made about Elton John agreeing to perform at the wedding of a man who had openly spoken against homosexuality. Because of that, the Limbaughs created a Facebook page to post photos of their wedding day. On air Wednesday, Limbaugh said of the page:

"We decided to put these pictures up, originally we didn’t intend to do any of this, but there’s been such a clamor and frankly the pictures are such works of art that after we saw them, Kathryn and I, we wanted some of these things to be seen, so that’s why we’ve created the Facebook page for you to see the wedding pics,” Limbaugh said on the air today. “We might put some more up in the course of time."

English bookies convinced Prince William and Kate Middleton to wed next year

2010-08-16T00:53:00.000-07:00

How is this for a fool's intuition? English bookie firm William Hill is only now taking bets on the month of the ceremony and location of the honeymoon for the heavily anticipated royal wedding of Prince William and his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton.

Rupert Adams, William Hill's royal correspondent, told media, "Almost every bet we have taken in the last six months suggests a 2011 wedding and as a result we have decided that the market is no longer viable."

As for what bets are leading the pack, June has the best odds at 1/2, and the African island of Mustique leads honeymoon destinations at 4/1.

Guess we'll have to wait and see, but we think we'll keep our bets to ourselves.

Jesse Csincsak's proposal nearly ruined by future father-in-law

2010-08-15T17:11:00.000-07:00

Former Bachelorette contestant Jesse Csincsak, a snowboarder who received the final rose and was engaged to former show star DeAnna Pappas , was able to surprise current fiancee Ann Leuders with a romantic proposal August 6th - but that was no thanks to her father!

"When I first asked for Ann's hand in marriage, her dad didn't realize that Ann wasn't supposed to know," Csincsak tells People.com. "He went inside the house and Ann and her mom were just chatting and he goes, 'So Jesse just asked me a very interesting question. He asked me if he could marry you.' And she goes, 'DAD! You're not supposed to tell me that!' He didn't do it on purpose, he was just trying to be the happy-go-lucky dad."

The day of the proposal, Csincsak pulled out an engagement ring on the shore of an island in Lake Erie, and after accepting Leuders told him, "I wish I knew this was coming. I would have run a brush through my hair!"

The couple will wed before the end of August at the Rumor Hotel in Las Vegas.

What we've been missing

2010-08-14T16:41:00.000-07:00

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.

Update: Hilary Duff, Mike Comrie get married

2010-08-14T15:58:00.000-07:00

Getting engaged in Hawaii, in clear view of the paparazzi, Hilary Duff has been tight lipped about her wedding plans to NHL star Mike Comrie. In February, Comrie proposed in the room of their hotel after more than two years together.

And on Saturday, August 7th in front of 100 guests, the couple were married in an 8 p.m. ceremony at a Mediterranean villa in Santa Barbara, California, and they spent their first night as husband and wife at the San Ysidro Ranch nearby - the location which had been hotly tipped as the wedding venue.

"Mike held his arm around Hilary for most of the romantic, candlelit ceremony, and they both looked extremely happy," and eyewitness told People.com. According to OK Magazine, which exclusively reported the wedding, Duff was wearing a mermaid-style Vera Wang gown and was walked down the aisle by her mother, Susan, dressed in Badgely Mischka. Duff's older sister, actress Haylie, was maid of honour alongside four other bridesmaids.

To prepare for the big day Comrie, centre for the Edmonton Oilers, reportedly celebrated his bachelor party this week, and Duff had stepped it up to daily workouts with celeb trainer Harvey Pasternak - currently also working with Jennifer Hudson and Megan Fox. She had also been spotted last week running last-minute errands like most brides.

It feels like hockey players are a little in vogue right now - Carrie Underwood married Mike Fisher of the Ottawa Senators last month, and country singer Kellie Pickler was in a relationship with Nashville Predators right-winger Jordin Tootoo. Duff met her hockey hubby while on a private plane to an event in Idaho. He told Hockey Night in Canada last year, "We were all on the same plane and it was kind of, I guess, maybe a bit of a fluke. She calls it ironic. No I'm kidding! It [was] one of those things where we were all in a group … we spent the weekend all hanging out."

It didn't take long for Duff and her family to fall for Comrie, with Duff once saying of him, "I've never met anyone who can say a bad word about him. He's generous, caring and sunny. We just laugh our heads off."

Dating in the Dark host weds country singer

2010-08-14T12:24:00.000-07:00

The premise behind Dating in the Dark is simple - stick fairly shallow,m gorgeous folk in a dark room with a potential unattractive suitor and watch them squirm about the possibility of finding a love match with a 'lesser specimen,' then try to get them to look past appearances and decide whether or not the emotional connection is enough to overlook the physical.

Host Rossi Morreale doesn't say whether the show makes him as cynical about love as the rest of us, but he has revealed that he loves his beautiful blonde - Kacey Coppola of twin sister country duo Kate and Kacey.

The couple were married in a barefoot beach ceremony Saturday, August 7th at the Grande Antigua Resort & Spa in St. John's in front of 60 guests. The wedding was co-officiated by Morreale's childhood pastor and an Antiguan marriage officer, and Kacey's sisters Kara and Kate served as Matron of Honor and Twin of Honor, respectively (Kacey served as Maid of Honor for Kate's Colorado wedding last year.)

This is the first marriage for Morreale and Coppola, who met on the set of Can You Duet in 2008 and were engaged in Playa del Carmen.

Actress Sara Rue, who was just announced at the new host of reality show Shedding Before the Wedding, has revealed she has lost 50 lbs. as a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig as she prepares for her own spring 2011 wedding to fiance Kevin Price, going from a size 14 to a size 6.

In fact, on a recent shopping trip to the Vera Wang bridal showroom, her hard work paid off. "The woman zipped it up and she had to clamp it in the back because it was too big. It was just a great feeling."

Robbie Williams' wedding album

2010-08-14T11:45:00.000-07:00

British pop star Robbie Williams was married to his American girlfriend, Ayda Field, at their Beverly Hills home on August 7th, and sold the exclusive photo rights to various magazine publications around the world. Because an ONTD-er was bored enough to scan the pages of Aussie Who magazine, we're sourcing them for it.

Williams revealed in the article that after he proposed to Field, his girlfriend of four years, last Christmas Day, he was keen just to "pop off to Vegas." But he realized the day was "about the bride" and gave his fiancee the wedding of her dreams. Wearing a Spencer Hart tuxedo for the ceremony, Williams said of his Monique Lhuillier-clad bride, "Ayda looked like the most beautiful girl in the world. I was so emotional, I'm surprised I held it together."

The 60 close friends at family in attendance had no idea they were attending a wedding until they arrived at the house for what they assumed was a Casino Royale-themed celebration of Williams 20 years in showbiz. The lobby of the couple's $19 million home was decorated like a casino - and that is where guests were handed their wedding invitation. The only two people in on it were Field's mother and Williams' father - whom the singer told "because he'd booked a holiday."

Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger calls off her engagement

2010-08-14T11:34:00.000-07:00

On her hit Bravo reality show, Patti Stanger gets results as the Millionaire Matchmaker, but the never-married third-generation matchmaker has called off her engagement to businessman Andy Friedman.

"I want a kid now and Andy doesn't," Stanger explained to Life & Style. "My deal breaker has always been kids. Ever since our first date, he knew I wanted kids, and then something along the way changed. Andy's a great guy and we'll always remain friends, but he wants me to be something that I can't be. We're better friends than lovers."

Engaged on her birthday in May 2009, the wedding was initially set for 2010 but was pushed back when Friedman wouldn't commit to kids. Stanger is still convinced she'll be a mom - either through adoption or with some stepkids. "A good guy is out there for me, I know it," she says.

Chelsea Clinton honeymoons on African safari

2010-08-14T11:09:00.000-07:00

Following her Astor Courts wedding to Marc Mezvinsky on July 31st in Rhinebeck, New York, former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton is reportedly on a safari honeymoon in South Africa in an attempt to avoid the same media attention her wedding day recieved.

Clinton and Mezvinsky's wedding easily garnered royal wedding status in the United States, due to her father being a former President and her mother being the current Secretary of State for the Obama administration, 500 guests including political bigwigs, wedding dress designer Vera Wang, and actors Mary Steenburgen and Ted Danson, and a price tag in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Dawson Leery's wedding photos in this week's Life & Style

2010-08-14T10:58:00.000-07:00

Actor James Van Der Beek, famous as Dawson Leery in the quintessential late '90s teen melodrama, has shared his wedding photos and details in the latest issue of Life & Style magazine.

Van Der Beek married his pregnant girlfriend, Kimberly Brook, in a Kabbalah ceremony on August 1st in Tel Aviv, Israel - near Jaffa where the couple first met.

Of the moment the couple first met, Van Der Beek says, “I was telling my friend and teacher Shalom [who was at the wedding] that after everything I’d been through, I finally felt ready for a relationship — someone I could grow old with, change with…a soul mate. I was midsentence when, from behind us, a female voice interrupted. At first I was annoyed — who had the nerve to butt in on such an important revelation? Then I turned around and saw her.”

The actor, who was previously married to actress Heather McComb, told the mag, “We looked at this wedding as a sacred union of our souls. For us, there was tremendous freedom in not having to worry about the food getting cold or the DJ playing ‘YMCA’ again!”

The newlyweds' first child, a daughter, is due in October.

Just in time for Bachelor Pad, former Bachelor series contestants announce engagements to fellow show stars

2010-08-14T10:19:00.000-07:00

Sorry, money-making anti-love reality TV show series, we see right through you. Earlier this week, just as ABC's Bachelor Pad debuted, DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak, who walked away engaged when Pappas was The Bachelorette, have announced their engagement to each of their new loves - who also have Bachelor connections.

Pappas, 28, announced her engagement to Stephen Stagliano earlier this week, debuting her 2.12 carat Asscher-cut diamond engagement ring. The couple were engaged over Memorial Day weekend, about one month before Stephen's twin brother Michael - who was on the Bachelorette season starring Jillian Harris - proposed to girlfriend Holly Durst with a ring from Boston's Kiing Jewelers. Durst also appeared on a former season of the Bachelor, and both couples met at a taping of a Bachelor reunion special in 2009.

Now, the two couples are planning a TV wedding special titled Four Better, for Worse and a double wedding next spring, and both brides will likely wear Monique Lhuillier.

Also this week, Pappas' former fiance, snowboarder Jesse Csincsak announced his engagement to Ann Leuders, who appeared on Jason Mesnick's Bachelor season and met Csincsak on a reunion cruise to Mexico for the show last year.

He presented her with a $22,000 princess-cut ring from Levit Jewelers in Ohio. The couple have not announced any wedding plans.

So while it seems almost impossible to make a viable love-match during the show's whirlwind filming schedule, the show seems to be picking up some credibility with making love connections, after all. Does this mean we still have to watch it?

Uma puts a ring back on

2010-01-22T15:26:00.000-08:00

Following recent photographs of Kill Bill star Uma Thurman reunited with ex-fiance Arpad Busson, the actress was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand earlier this week while walking her son, Levon, home from school in NYC (pictured, left).

Neither reps for Thurman, nor the millionaire Swiss financier, are talking, adding fuel to rumours that the couple have not only reconciled, but have kickstarted their engagement again.

The pair split late last year following two years together, only to be seen getting close in London and New York multiple times this month. Thurman was previously married to actors Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke, with whom she has son Levon, 8, and 11-year-old daughter Maya, and Busson has sons Flynn, 11, and Cy, 6, with ex-fiancee, supermodel Elle MacPherson.
