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.

Christine Bleakley shows off engagement ring!

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.

Jesse James and Kat Von D planning summer wedding

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.

UPDATE: Fearne Cotton engaged

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?"

British actress Amanda Redman marries in English countryside

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.

Konnie Huq and Charlie Brooker elope in Las Vegas

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.”

Kiefer Sutherland and girlfriend: not engaged despite diamond sparkler

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.

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

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!

The Munsters' Butch Patrick to marry longtime fan

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.

UPDATE: Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer get married!

Us Magazine reports that True Blood costars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer were married this evening at a private residence in Malibu, California. The couple were married beneath a tent across the street from the beach. Guests at the ceremony included actor Elijah Wood, True Blood creator Alan Ball, and costars Ryan Kwanten, Rutina Wesley, and Carrie Preston with husband Michael Emerson of Lost. 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.

Portia De Rossi to DeGeneres

Australian actress Portia De Rossi wed talk show host Ellen DeGeneres at their Malibu home two years ago, before Prop 8 banned gay marriage in the state of California - which a judge has subsequently, recently overturned. Thank god.

TMZ got a hold of the legal documents requesting to change De Rossi's legal last name to DeGeneres - requests which are routinely granted, especially in the case of marriage. No word whether the actress will use the new moniker professionally - like the former Jennifer Pitt.

In a recent appearance on The Wendy Williams show, MTV VJ LaLa Vasquez announced that she is finally set to wed her longtime fiance, Denver Nuggets NBA star Carmelo Anthony.

“I’m getting married this summer and I wanted to come here and tell everybody that,” she said, and when Williams asked if some of Vasquez' famous friends - Kim Kardashian and Solange Knowles among them - would be bridesmaids, she admitted, "I haven't decided. But they will be in it in some capacity."

Vasquez expects the guest list to be around 250-300 people, and the ceremony, being put together by celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss, will be in Vasquez' home state of New York. Of the large guest list, Vasquez said, “Everybody’s been waiting for [the wedding] for so long, we may as well invite everybody to come hang out.”

The couple have been engaged since before the birth of their son Kiyan, born in March 2007.
