Vanessa Minnillo celebrates bachelorette party in Las Vegas

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.

Lily Allen's English country wedding

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.

Marriage made Christina Aguilera's relationship stronger

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.

Katy Perry wants dual citizenship with marriage to Russell Brand

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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."

Keyshia Cole married Boobie Gibson?

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.

Michael Buble wearing male engagement ring

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.

Katy Perry won't wear a latex wedding dress

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.

Marilyn Manson, Evan Rachel Wood call off engagement

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.

What we've been missing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Update: Hilary Duff, Mike Comrie get married

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."
