Beyonce, 24, is reportedly planning to marry her boyfriend, Def Jam president Jay-Z, 36, in a lavish ceremony on the Island of Anguilla this November. Star reports that the reception has a $3 million price tag and that it will include $300,000 worth of caviar alone. There won't be any Cristal at this bash:
The former Destiny’s Child member is planning a late November wedding on the Caribbean island of Anguilla, reports the tab. Guests at the bash will dine on $300,000 worth of Beluga caviar as well as lobster and Italian truffles and will wash it down with $200 bottles of Dom Perignon. Knowles’ wedding dress will be modeled after Princess Diana’s, reports the Star, and among the guests invited are Oprah Winfrey and U.N. head Kofi Annan.
An impediment to the marriage had been Beyoncé’s manager father, Matthew Knowles, and his misgivings about the 36-year-old Jay Z’s relationship with his 24-year-old daughter, but Matthew Knowles has apparently come around and given the romance his blessing.
“Beyoncé’s telling friends it will be ‘the wedding to end all weddings,’” according to the source. “Beyoncé feels like she’s living a fairy tale so why shouldn’t her wedding be equally magical?”
That's nice that Beyonce's father has given his blessing as she was said to have some trouble getting out from under his thumb and running her own career and life.
This isn't the first time that we've heard rumors that these two were getting married. Back in early June Jay-Z lost weight on a high-protein diet sponsored by Beyonce. People speculated that his weight loss was a sign that he was preparing to marry the pop singer.
In late June it was rumored that Beyonce and Jay-Z were spending too much time apart and that they were breaking up, but that was only reported by a single source and the couple has been spotted out and about many times since. They even performed together at Radio City Music Hall.
Beyonce recently revealed that she has a sexy dress she puts on whenever she needs to seduce her man. She even wrote a song about it called "Freakum Dress" that will be on her new album.

Along with probably jumping the gun on the Victoria Beckham pregnancy news, Britain's Daily Star also claims to have an exclusive that Kate Moss, 32, and Pete Doherty, 27, are planning a semi-secret wedding in Ibiza this weekend:
The couple – who have been dating on and off for two years – have rented a £2 million villa in the tranquil area of Santa Eulalia.
Pete has told pals, including Carl Barat, 28, and singer Bobby Gillespie, 42, to head out to the clubbing capital this Saturday.
Our mole said: "Pete let the secret slip on Saturday evening while on the lash with Kate at the Boogaloo bar in north London.
"He said they were planning a ‘special day’ involving close friends and something ‘magical’ would happen later that afternoon."
Our mole continued: "They have found a register office in Blighty where they will ‘officially’ marry as they can’t legally wed in Ibiza.
"But that is where they will say their vows and Pete has even written Kate a special song for the occasion.
"Top notch caterers Eat Ibiza have been brought in for the occasion. They’ll dine on grilled tiger prawns drizzled with garlic, Parmesan-stuffed chicken and foie gras canapes and drink Cristal champagne."
This isn't the first time Pete has bragged that he's planning on marrying Kate Moss. Back in early April he told fellow revellers at an Austrian porn club that he and Kate had plans to marry in Scotland this fall. Their relationship fell apart afterwards, and those plans may have been real, or they might have been the meaningless ramblings of a drug addict.
It's entirely possible that The Daily Star made this news up or that Pete is just talking out of his ass and this will never happen. Kate has been spotted with an engagement ring on her finger, though. Her friends deny that she's engaged and say it's her own ring.
If they do get married, I give it less time than Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney's marriage. They've been reunited this third time, what, a week?

The PopBitch e-mail newsletter claims that Tom Cruise is scoping out Neverland ranch and may possibly purchase the freaky estate from heavily in debt Michael Jackson:
Cruise has to know that this would be an incredibly stupid move. It doesn't matter how nice the property, zoo, and amusement park are. It would tie him to weirdo Michael Jackson and the press would have a field day.
The newsletter goes on to say that Suri might just have a big birthmark and that could be the reason why she's been shielded from view:
That's possible, and a very clever excuse if Tom's camp made it up. Why has nary a bundle, car seat or covered up little baby been seen though? I don't buy it!
Meanwhile there are preparations underway at the Celebrity Scientology Center for what Pink is the New Blog speculates could be Suri's unvieling or Tom and Katie's wedding.
Rebels-Rebels had these pictures of the chandelier and tents covering the compound, and Mollygood has an eyewitness report that they seem to be gearing up for something.
DListed says that there's a "37th Gala Event" on August 5th though, which just means they're having some sort of Scientology party.
Tom Cruise has supposedly agreed on a fall wedding to seal his suspicious relationship with young Katie Holmes. No one quite believes that their changeling baby exists, even if there's one prominent actress who's willing to vouch for it. (Why didn't Will Smith speak up too, huh?) So announcing a vague official date for their sham nuptuals should stem the rumors that they don't really have a baby and their relationship is contractual, right?
The pair's spokesman Paul Blach said: "As far as I know, the plans are for late summer, early fall."
He also confirmed that the ceremony will be held at one Cruise's properties, but gave no further details.
Despite plans for the nuptials going ahead, it is rumoured that Katie's parents will not attend the event if the pair wed in a Scientology ceremony.
There's also a rumor that "hollywood insiders" are "scratching their heads" over Suri's nonappearance and that Tom and Katie are fighting over how to introduce the fictional infant to the public. Someone read the blogs and made this shit up, because there's no baby to show or relationship to lose:
"People are starting to scratch their heads now over Tom and Katie's baby because now it is really starting to look weird.
Tom's spokesman denies the couple's relationship is strained, but sources say the strain of keeping baby Suri under wraps is taking a toll on Tom and Katie's relationship and that they have split over how to deal with the situation. "Tom's total obsession with secrecy has sparked a host of bizarre lies and fabrications that threaten to tear the couple apart," continued the source.
The only reason Tom and Katie will get married at this point is to try and salvage Tom's tanking career. I don't buy any of the weird shit surrounding their relationship or supposed baby. Where's the baby carriage, where's a baby seat, where's a carrier? They need to work harder to cover their deep, meandering tracks.

Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock got married in the first of the four weddings they're planning. They were wed on a yacht on Saturday in Saint Tropez, France. Pam wore a white bikini and captain's cap, and Kid Rock looked even less presentable shirtless in jeans and a fedora.
Anderson and Rock, 35, began dating in spring 2001. They became engaged on April 11, 2002, in the Las Vegas desert, but split the following year. Still, when they ran into each other early this month in Saint-Tropez on a mutual friend's yacht, the feelings were still there.
"It was like we'd never been apart," Rock told PEOPLE on July 11. "(I) love her to death." Anderson announced their engagement on her Web site on July 18.
So why the whirlwind nuptials? "It's just timing," Anderson told PEOPLE on Wednesday. "It's being in love, obviously, and it's time for me to move on with my life and get on with the rest of it with my kids."
These two are not going to last three months.
Like Eminem, Kid Rock reveals his misogynistic personality in his lyrics. Here's a preview of what these two did on their wedding night: (Warning, this is freaking gross.)
Sorry for that, I could not resist posting those lyrics.
Here are Pam Anderson and Kid Rock on their wedding day. The woman got married to two different guys, wearing a bikini each time. So classy. [via]
Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley are on their honeymoon in Portofino, Italy. Avril and Deryck were married in a fairytale wedding on a private estate in Montecito, CA on July 15th, 2006.
Avril has been rumored to be pregnant, with bloggers like us gleefully pointing out her tiny stomach bump. She's seen drinking wine in these candids, though, making it unlikely that she's with child.
Avril and Deryck enjoyed jet-skiing, sightseeing and some private cuddle time on a yacht. Their honeymoon hasn't all been casual fun. They were seen dressed up to attend a party.

Fresh on the heels of getting caught wanking a 58 year-old pot-bellied dude in a park, it was said that George Michael and his longterm partner, American Kenny Goss, have called off their planned gay wedding. The wedding was to take place around their tenth anniversary, sometime before the end of the Summer.
After the photos came out in Britain's News of the World of a disheleved and surprised Michael and his one-time hookup, umemployed Norman Kirtland, Michael's partner defended him, saying that they were putting the incident behind them:
Visibily distraught Kenny, who answered the door at George's £5 million mansion, said: "George is not going to say anything today. He has already said what he wants. This is behind us. That is everything we are going to say on the subject. We are getting on with the rest of our lives."
Reports had the two cancelling their planned wedding, saying that they are "reassessing their relationship," but another story has Micheal insisting the wedding is still on, and making it obvious why hot Goss has stayed with his cheating ass:
He says, "I'd have to do something he dislikes before it was off." The couple are expected to tie the knot before Michael's 50-date European tour begins in September (06).
Why do people always think an expensive gift will set matters right after they cheat? Probably because it works with their sad, unfulfilled money-grubbing partners. (Kobe, Beckham)
Michael has been embroiled in scandal for several months, after being caught with pot and poppers in his car back in March, and photographed passed out at a stoplight in May. He'll need to get treatment for his sex and drug addiction if he wants to "pull off" a gruelling 50-date tour.

Kid Rock was temporarily placed in jail in Switzerland after a man was injured in a fight in his hotel room. It is assumed that he was involved:
However, Rock, who has just got engaged to his longtime on/off girlfriend Pamela Anderson, was released without charge and is looking on the bright side of the incident – he’s going to write a new song about it.
He chortles, “I just gotta figure out what rhymes with Switzerland!”
I live in Switzerland, and am continually amazed at how clean and well run everything is. The public pool near my house is nice enough for a four star resort, and I was at a rest stop by a clear lake with views of the alps last week. If Kid Rock was in jail, it was probably clean and totally adequate, if not comfortable.
Meanwhile Rock is engaged to buxom has-been Pamela Anderson, and there's a pretty believable rumor that they may get married next weekend:
The couple, who renewed their romance in St Tropez, France just two weeks ago before announcing their engagement, are reportedly planning a July 29 wedding.
According to American magazine Us Weekly, the couple is planning to exchange vows onboard the yacht where they fell in love all over again in St Tropez.
They are said to be planning a medium-sized wedding with 50-100 of their friends. I read on a bulletin board that they were already married, but I haven't seen that news anywhere else and don't think it's true.
Here is Pam Anderson on the beach in St. Tropez, because who really wants to look at pictures of Kid Rock? [via] It must be hard to find a colorist in the south of France. Kid Rock and Anderson are also shown at random older events.
Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley were married last weekend in California, and Canada.com has the official photos. They're low quality, but clear and lovely, and show the happy couple exchanging rings, kissing, eating the cake, and taking off Avril's garter during the reception. Picture captions include details such as the chandelier that hung from the flower-draped awning under which they were married, and their four-tiered half-chocolate half-vanilla wedding cake.
Avril says that the ceremony was an emotional moment for her, and that she did her best to keep poised:
Guests took home guitar picks with the bride and groom's name, and custom gift boxes. I wonder how long it will take before they hit eBay.

Avril Lavigne wed her fiance of over two years, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, in a fairytale setting on a private estate in Montecito, CA on Saturday. She wore a Vera Wang gown with a flowing train and long veil and carried a bouquet of white roses. Her father walked her down the aisle:
The couple said their vows under an awning decorated with white flowers in front of 110 guests, including family and friends from their native Ontario.
Once the groom had kissed the bride, guests tossed rose petals at the newlyweds as they walked back up the aisle.
After the wedding, guests were to be treated to an outdoor cocktail hour before the reception, including a sit-down dinner, under a tent on the estate. In contrast to the all-white ceremony, the reception will have a red theme, with centerpieces of red roses and other flowers.
The couple's first dance is expected to be to the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris."
Lavigne, 21, and Whibley, 26, have been together for two years, and became engaged in Venice, Italy, in June 2005, while Lavigne was on the last leg of her European tour.
In late 2004 Lavigne started sporting a small pink heart-shaped tattoo with the letter "D" on her right wrist, supposedly for her guitarist-singer-lyricist beau.
Its such a beautiful setting for a wedding and it looks like a lovely event. It's nice to see the pictures, but unfortunately that means that helicopters were hovering over the ceremony. Hopefully it didn't detract from the moment for the happy couple or their guests.

No one placed a bid on the package of memorabilia from the Nicole Kidman-Keith Urban wedding last weekend. The Australian seller wanted over $3,700 USD for the items, which look fancy but not too exciting:
On offer are:
1. Engraved Tiffany travelling clock
2. Book of Ceremonies
3. Menu
4. Boxed slice of wedding cake
With no more than 100 of these presented to guests at the wedding, this is a very special and rare offering, sure to increase in value over the years.
The auction ended July 3rd with 0 bids, but that may just be due to the fact that it hasn't been publicized yet. Someone is surely stupid or crazed enough to pay almost 4k for that stuff.
The seller has a positive feedback rating of 14, and has only bought, not sold, items in the past. In the past 30 days they've bid on L'oreal lipgloss and bought a Thomas the Tank engine print, so they're likely a mom that could use the cash. I would guess it's someone who worked at the reception.
If you'd like a piece of the Kidman-Urban wedding you still have a chance. The wedding booklet is up for auction by another less-reputable seller at a more reasonable starting bid of $260 USD. The auction ends in about a week.
Here are the pictures of the stuff from eBay as well as some candids of Nicole and Keith celebrating the 4th of July. [via]
Avril Lavigne must have had a tame bachelorette party because her fiance, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, attended too. They celebrated on June 30th in LA:
Speculation is rampant that Lavigne and Whibley will marry this weekend, with reports that they have already notified friends and family:
Friends and family of the pair were reportedly notified days ago of the plan and told to book their tickets immediately for Santa Barbara, where the Canadian rockers have a house together.
Earlier reports had suggested the wedding would take place Aug. 26, but media scrutiny apparently spurred the couple to move up the date.
This could definitely be true, because Lavigne was said to want a summer wedding, and to be planning for children right away.
It is uncertain whether Lavigne is already pregnant. We spotted a bump on the slender singer in several recent pictures, but in these photos from the end of June it doesn't seem to have grown enough to substantiate pregnancy rumors.
Here is Avril at her bachelorette party outside of Koi and at Hyde nightclub on 6/25. Pictures from Hollywood's Best and originally from Alavigne.com.br.
Australian gossip rags are reporting that Nicole Kidman did invite her ex, Tom Cruise, to her wedding with Keith Urban last weekend. He didn't attend, but sent his regards. His two adopted children with Kidman did attend:
Oz tabloids claim to have seen copies of the invite, which would have followed the correct wedding/ex-partner etiquette if Cruise and Holmes were unavailable to attend.
While Cruise and Kidman's adopted children from their marriage, Isabelle and Connor, were both at last Sunday's ceremony, the Mission: Impossible star was nowhere to be seen, but a source told the Sunday Mirror that the actor sent his best wishes instead.
"Tom wished Nicole all the best and was pleased all the troubles between them were over. He also said how much he hoped she finds joy," a friend told the paper.
Earlier reports that Tom sent Nicole a picture of Suri for her 39th birthday with the message "a very nappy birthday" were false, and were undoubtedly made up in England, where most of the fake gossip originates and nappy is a common colloquialism for diaper. Nicole was also said to have wished "mother and baby well" after the birth of Suri, but that turned out to be made up, too. It could be true that Tom sent his regards after the wedding, but we'll probably never know.
Nicole and Keith are back in Nashville after departing their honeymoon in Tahiti on Saturday. They left at night to avoid photographers, and boarded a jetboat to a chartered flight, which took them to the Island nation's capital, where they caught a private jet home. Their honeymoon was probably not as peaceful as they were hoping, considering that Eva Longoria and Tony Parker crashed their resort.
Nicole is no longer on pregnancy watch after she was photographed looking super-fit in a bikini. Both she and Keith are headed back to work:
The celebrity couple are set to get straight back to work - Urban kicks off the first show of his tour in Ontario, Canada on July 13 and Kidman is due to start filming her next movie, The Lady From Shanghai.
Here are lower resolution pictures of Nicole and Keith on their honeymoon, and some higher resolution candids of them back in Nashville. [via]
Charlize Theron wore what looked like an engagement and a wedding ring on her left hand to the grand opening of club Social Hollywood last night, June 27. She was accompanied by her boyfriend, Irish actor Stuart Townsend. We spotted an engagement ring on Theron's left hand in late April when she was photographed attending a basketball game with Townsend. There was a rumor shortly afterward that they were planning a secret wedding in Savannah, GA, but nothing seems to have come of that.
There's no ring on Townsend's left hand, but this still looks suspicious. Whatever the story, Theron is trying to tell us something. Celebrities don't just wear rings on their left ring finger to openings without having an ulterior motive.
This is kind of an exclusive, because as far as we know we're the first blog to cry wolf about Theron's rings.

I bought The National Enquirer partially due to the headline "Nicole's Miscarriage Secret: The heartbreak behind her wedding." The headline makes it seem as if Nicole was pregnant, as everyone has been speculating, but lost the baby right before her wedding to Keith Urban - just like Brenda on "Six Feet Under." This wasn't the case at all.
All the Enquirer did was recycle the old story of Nicole's miscarriages during her marriage to half-pint Tom Cruise and present it as some big exclusive that caused her pain during her nuptuals. This is a cheap trick to sell papers, and it worked:
The Oscar-winning actress is now terrified that she won't be able to bear a child for new husband Keith, say sources.
"Nicole must be haunted by the miscarriage she suffered after first husband Tom Cruise walked out on her," a source revealed.
"She also apparently suffered an ectopic pregnancy in the past and has dealt with a series of medical issues.
I think losing two pregnancies weighs heavily on Nicole's mind. And now that she's almost 40, her chances of carrying a child to term are less then they were when she was younger."
How is that news? We already knew Nicole had a miscarriage, and someone speculating that it bothers her does not make the story an exclusive. It's also deceptive of the Enquirer to market it this way.
It may be a new revelation that Nicole had a second miscarriage, though. The "insider" says she had the ectopic pregnancy right before she married Tom in 1990.
That's sad for Nicole, but it's ancient history. Nicole is supposedly worried if she can carry a baby now, but who knows if that's true. She may or may not be pregnant, and we'll just have to wait it out and see.
The Enquirer did have one redeeming feature in the deceptive article - an inset featuring Nicole's men throughout the years. Did you know she dated rapper Q-tip? I didn't.
Here is a picture of the article as well as some high res pictures of Nicole and Keith in the lobby of their hotel the day after their wedding. They are carrying a present for Keith's father, as it was his birthday. The happy couple is now honeymooning in Tahiti. [via]
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were married in a candlelit Catholic ceremony in Sydney on Sunday:
Guests at the black-tie event included Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts and Rupert Murdoch.
Kidman's wedding party consisted of her sister Antonia, who was her maid of honor, and daughter Isabella, 13, who was her bridesmaid. Antonia's daughter, Lucia, was a flower girl. On the groom's side were Urban's brother Shane, who served as best man, and longtime buddy Marlon Holden, who produced Urban's first solo album in 1991.
Kidman wore a dress by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga. Her father, Antony, walked her down the aisle under the dramatic glow of a spotlight. She kept her veil on throughout the ceremony, only lifting it when it came time to say the (very traditional) vows.
Nicole cried all the way to the church in the car and then she cried all during the ceremony and had to wipe her eyes under the veil," a guest tells PEOPLE. "It was the most emotional and beautiful ceremony. Nicole looked ethereal with her veil floating, like a vision in white. ... Keith cried when he looked at her.
"It was so intense," the guest says. "When her veil was lifted, he moved right in and he grabbed her and kissed her. It was a long, passionate kiss. (Then) everything went from being quiet and elegant and intense to really loud, like we were suddenly at a soccer game. There was screaming and hollering and such excitement.
"But when Nicole and Keith looked at each other it was like they were the only two people in the room. They are so deeply in love. It was the most incredible wedding."
In lieu of gifts, guests were asked to donate to the Sydney Children's Hospital.
Both Jackman and Crowded House's Neil Finn performed at the reception, which had a "passion" theme and red color scheme – including red carnations hanging from huge chandeliers and red roses on the tables.
Either the rumors were untrue or Keith decided at the last minute not to perform at the reception, because it was said that he was planning to serenade Nicole.
It sounds lovely and quite romantic. Best wishes to Keith and Nicole.
Here are pictures from the wedding, including a high-res version of the official wedding photo and one high-res of Nicole in the car outside the wedding [via]. The other wedding photos are medium-sized. The other high-res photos are of Nicole on the day before the wedding outside her parents' house.
Nicole Kidman had Keith Urban sign a prenup in preparation for their wedding this weekend that gives him a relatively paltry portion of Kidman's fortune. Kidman is said to be worth $150 million dollars, but she'll only surrender $600k a year to her groom-to-be if they get divorced. If he drinks a lot or does drugs, he gets nothing:
The agreement, signed in Los Angeles earlier this month, also calls for joint custody of any kids the couple has together, although Urban would be prohibited from taking them out of whatever country Kidman is living in, the London Daily Mail said.
Kidman, 39, will wear a long white gown with Victorian-style high collar during the traditional Roman Catholic ceremony at an old Gothic chapel overlooking the sea in the Sydney suburb of Manly - a far cry from her Scientology-based nuptials with Tom Cruise in 1990, a union that ended in annulment five years ago.
The 200 guests who'll party under a huge white tent after the wedding include her adopted kids with Cruise, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11; Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Russell Crowe, Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman and Lachlan and Sarah Murdoch. Flying in separately are Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney, whose marriage only lasted seven months but whom we hear are quietly seeing each other again....
Meanwhile, Nicole had her bachelorette party at her sister Antonia's home, and it was tamer than tame. Instead of male strippers and boozing, the girls each brought a favorite recipe to discuss.
The most interesting part of this article is the mention of Zellweger and Chesney's on-again relationship. If this is true, I would like to see pictures. Zellweger manages to avoid the paparrazi, and she was rumored to be seeing Chesney briefly after their high profile divorce. She deserves someone who will pay more attention to her, though, and if the rumors about Chesney are true it's possible they're just friends.
Kidman has taken smart precautionary measures for her wedding to an ex-drug addict, although it might actually last and we hope things work out for them.
Although Kidman's "hen party" wasn't too exciting, Naomi Watts was in town to party with her prior to the wedding, and it looks like they had a little bit to drink. Here are pictures of Watts and Kidman out on the town last night in Sydney. [via] In the last picture Kidman is shown being driven from her Sydney home this morning.
Nicole Kidman's children, Conner and Isabella, have arrived in Australia for their mom's wedding to Keith Urban. The wedding details are a well-guarded secret, but sources say that it will take place this Sunday, June 25th:
Kidman and country star Urban will marry this weekend. They have kept details fiercely guarded, but the nuptials are expected to take place in on Sunday (25JUN06).
A marquee is currently being erected at a Catholic church in the Sydney suburb Manly, where the wedding is expected to take place.
Tom Cruise didn't travel to Australia with his children, but he supposedly sent Kidman a blurry far-off picture of a baby that is supposed to be Suri as a present for her birthday. The botoxed beauty turned 39 on Sunday, and received the photo from her ex with the handwritten caption "A very nappy birthday to you."
That doesn't sound true to us and the source is not that solid. If it is true, it lends some slight credibility to the rumor that Kidman is pregnant with her first biological child. She was seen with a tummy hanging out of her sweatpants during a recent yoga class, and seems to have some sort of a bump in these recent pictures.

Renee Zellweger has reportedly told Nicole Kidman that all country stars who like to make money are terrible husbands, or something like that:
Nicole's father is also believed to have reservations about the marriage after his acView the profile for Nicole Kidman on Celebrity Spotlightress daughter - who has two adopted children from her marriage to Tom Cruise - refused to make Keith sign a pre-nuptial agreement.
A source revealed: "Her dad is against Nicole getting married without a pre-nup, but her mum thinks she should follow her heart."
The 'Moulin Rouge' star has invited 80 close friends and family to her nuptials at Sydney's Mary MacKillop Chapel next week, and has arranged for Australian celebrity chef Luke Mangan to cook a wedding breakfast for all the guests.
What about Keith being an alcoholic, not just a workaholic, and an ex-drug addict and philanderer?
The source is some random British magazine, and most of the British rags make shit up wholesale, so we don't really believe this. It sounds like something a gossip writer would come up with.
Meanwhile some priest who claims to have advised Kidman and Urban on their wedding is said to be revealing private details about it.
Coleman claims that the wedding will not take place at Sydney's Mary MacKillop Chapel or Monte Sant'Angelo Mercy College - the two locations that have received the most buzz in the gossip world. He says that those places are not "large enough to accommodate such a social wedding." Indeed, if you count the Australian celebrity guests alone, this wedding may be the A-list event of the year. The Morning Herald reports that attendees may include Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Baz Luhrmann and Rupert Murdoch.
And while Bette Midler denied recent rumors that she would be performing at the nuptials, there may be some star-powered singing that night after all. News of the World, a British newspaper, is reporting that Keith may do some crooning during the reception.
Someone made that priest up, because no clergy member would give their real name and reveal details like that to the press. Maybe we're grumpy today, but people want to get news about the Urban-Kidman wedding and are just pulling this out of their asses.

Nicole Kidman is supposedly withholding sex from her fiance Keith Urban until he marries her on June 25th:
The 'Cold Mountain' actress has told the country singer they won't have sex again until their wedding night - which is rumoured to be taking place in a few weeks time.
A source told Britain's Daily Sport newspaper: "Going four weeks without sex will certainly increase the passion on their wedding night."
Nicole reportedly got the sex ban idea from her friend Russell Crowe. The 'Gladiator' star went for months without sex before he married Danielle Spence in 2003.
Russell said: "I was determined there would be a lot of pent-up energy on the big night."
Nicole is due to marry the country singer Urban in a chapel near Sydney on June 25.
This sounds made up, but it's pretty funny and we're prone to believe it. Kidman is Catholic and probably thinks that she can make up for lots of premarital sex by pretending it never happened for a little while.
While Urban's publicist did confirm his engagement with Nicole right after she announced the news, he was reportedly pissed off when she made it public and doesn't feel ready to get married. It also seems as if Nicole and Keith have had problems in their relationship, with some reports saying that Keith wanted time off a little over a month ago. There's also a rumor that he's drinking a lot and sleeping around.
Withholding sex from a guy is a dangerous way to pique his interest in you, and Nicole is probably trying to hold out for a while in the hope that Keith will realize what he's missing. This reminds me of an Eddie Murphy sketch where he compares lack of sex causing you to go crazy for a woman to being really hungry and thinking crackers are delicious. It might work for Nicole, but if Keith is getting his kicks elsewhere this strategy will backfire.
In related news, Bette Midler has denied that she's been asked to sing at the Kidman-Urban wedding.

Denise Richards maybe didn't cheat with Richie Sambora, but she definitely snatched him right up after urging her neighbor and best friend, Heather Locklear, to divorce him. Now she's rumored to be planning a wedding with the Bon Jovi guitarist!
So that's why she's chasing Richie allover Europe. In what will either be blockbuster news or sweet relief for Heather and Denise ex Charlie Sheen the magazine claims wedding bells are planned for 2007.
"Richie and Denise are defying the naysayers and setting up arrangements for a wedding early next year when hey are free of their bonds," an insider tells the magazine.
"This is a serious romance - not two boomerangers. They feel destined to be together forever."
So much so - that Denise dumped her kids on her mom and dad - and headed off to Europe to hang with Richie on tour.
Denise seems like a needy person who can't deal with being single. She followed Sambora on tour like a puppy after he said he was single during a concert, and she made the dumb move of having her publicist confirm their relationship. We hope this isn't true and she'll think twice before jumping into marriage again. Her first one didn't work out so well, and she's not even divorced yet.
Heather's going to flip when she hears this, and she's sure to do something much worse than driving by Denise's house playing loud Bon Jovi tunes.

Some far-away pictures of Adrianne Curry and Chris Knight's wedding on Saturday Monday in her hometown of Joliet, Illinois have been released.
Curry and Knight had a reality-tv courtship and were married in a ceremony Curry described as "gothic," although her dress was anything but:
According to reports, the couple were expecting more than 250 guests, among them former Brady siblings Barry Williams and Susan Olsen, as well as Surreal Life's Joanie Laurer.
Adrianne says:
"I wanted to go as gothic as I could and as traditional as I could without ruffling anyone's feathers...I wanted to have a black dress...but I knew it would break my grandmother's heart."
So, she decided on a cream-colored Alvina Valenta gown, instead.
No matter though, since seven bridesmaids will wear red dresses and carry black roses. The flower girls round it out by wearing black with red satin bows.
Curry and Knight met on Season 4 of VH1s reality show "The Surreal Life," which puts C and D-list celebrities together in a house for ten days. Curry is the winner of "America's Next Top" model season one, while Knight played Peter Brady on the Brady Bunch. I actually watched most of the episodes of "The Surreal Life" that season, and was suprised that Knight, 48, went for Curry, 23, because she chased him unrelentlessly and he initially expressed misgivings about it. Her looks must have won him over, because her personality was pretty annoying.
Here's a recap of "My Fair Brady" on VH1, a reality show that aired in the fall of 2005 about Curry and Knight's relationship and engagement. Looks cheesy to me.
And here are the far-away wedding pictures. [via]
Star Magazine says that Tom Cruise has postponed his nuptuals to Katie Holmes, pending her complete submission to the cult of Scientology:
And he's willing to delay any nuptials to make certain - the report claims.
"There will be no (Nicole Kidman like) wiggle room," a source named Skip Press reveals to the weekly. "In the coming months, Press says, "Katie will undergo intensive training on how to spot and avoid anyone critical of Scientology."
"At the same time - the former Scientologist claims - "Her exposure to the outside world will be censored while she's flooded with Scientology doctrine.
Cruise's rep denies the story.
This seems like speculation from a former Scientologist based on his experiences with the cult. If he still has ties to the community and people are blabbing about Cruise's plans for Katie, it could be true.
It could be bad news for the doe-eyed actress and new mother, whose identity has already been completely changed during her relationship with the crazy half pint. On the other hand, if Katie is being forced to submit to more Scientology bullshit that means she's resisting somewhat. If she doesn't buy into the cult wholeheartedly Tom isn't going to marry her. If the cult keeps pushing her she may get fed up enough to leave. According to her prenup she'll get a sweet deal even without marrying him and she may get her life back in the process.

Life and Style Weekly is reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were "married" in a wedding ceremony following Namibian custom. The ceremony may have sentimental value, but it is not recognized by US law and is not legally binding.
The report from the magazine cites an insider "close to Angie" that claims Brad and Angie took part in a traditional Himba wedding ceremony.
What the heck’s a Himba, you ask?
L&S reports its an ancient tribe of Namibian nomads, whose weddings are often performed by tribal chieftains or without a leader at all. The bride wears an ekori, a headdress made of leather or goatskin, and jewelry made of iron and shells. Later, the groom’s family anoints her with butterfat from a cow.
Yuck! Snark alert - L&S says to watch out: Himba men practice polygamy.
Cue the rep: Brad’s rep denies they got married.
And the report admits from a legal standpoint, the wedding — like any religious ceremony - wouldn’t make them husband and wife: “They’ll marry again later in the U.S.,” says the insider.
It sounds like someone made this up, like most of the non-stories about the Jolie-Pitts. They're also supposed to be starting their own housewear line using local Namibian crafts.
Meanwhile Angelina is supposedly causing Brad to fear for their unborn baby's health by running off and picking fruits and berries with the women in the village. I sincerely doubt they're hanging out with the locals except for pre-approved photo opportunities.
If they did get "married" in Namibia, why aren't there stories about it in an African newspaper? It just doesn't seem like they could keep it a secret to only be leaked by one source, even with the crackdown on the paparrazi.
Until the baby comes, there's probably not much real news about the Jolie-Pitts and someone is making this crap up.
Update: Pictures of Angelina and Maddox in Swakopmond, Namibia [via]
About two weeks ago we mentioned that Charlize Theron was wearing an engagement ring while at a Lakers game with her boyfriend, Stuart Townsend. As far as we know, no one else really noticed and it didn't get any press.
Now A Socialite's Life has a rumor that Theron and Townsend are getting married this weekend in Savannah, GA:
Apparently she has an affection for Savannah after filming the Legend of Bagger Vance here several years ago. We've heard she may be getting married at a private residence with a reception at the Mansion (which used to be the Fox and Weeks Funeral Home, it's very cool!) I will let you know what else I hear on Friday.
If this is true, congratulations to Theron and Townsend! They've had a rough go of it, but Charlize played coy and landed her man.

The National Enquirer is running an exclusive that claims that Keith Urban has called off plans to marry Nicole in order to focus on his sobriety. They claim that Nicole had a fall wedding in Tahiti planned, but that Urban canned it and wants time off from the relationship:
Country superstar Keith has called a time-out in their romance to concentrate on his long-running battle with alcohol and drugs.
Sources say that Nicole had already set a date and started making plans for a fall wedding in Tahiti when the handsome star, voted Country Music Entertainer of the Year in 2005, delivered the bombshell news.
"Nicole is heartbroken — she thinks Keith is the man for her," said an insider. "Keith told her he wanted to cool things down before the CMT Awards in Nashville in April ... and Nicole was just gutted." They separated at that point — with Keith staying in Nashville and Nicole going off to The Hamptons to shoot a new movie.
A grim-faced Nicole, 38, has been spotted in East Hampton, New York, without the spectacular 3.5 carat ring that Keith, also 38, is said to have given her for the unofficial engagement last November.
This doesn't seem true to us for a few reasons. First of all, Nicole may not have been wearing her engagement ring while she was in the Hamptons, but she was seen with a plain gold band that looked suspiciously like a wedding ring.
From what we heard, Nicole was planning a summer wedding in Australia, not a fall wedding in Tahiti. The Sun reports today that Nicole has set the date for June 25th, beating Tom and Katie's expected 4th of July wedding.
Urban may have wanted some time away, but it sounds like a temporary thing, and the "insider" may have been reporting old news. They made a reference to the CMT awards, which were on April 10th, nearly a month ago. Keith spoke of Nicole specifically at the CMT awards, in what was viewed as his first public admission of their relationship. Plus, Nicole could be pregnant and has been seen with what may be a growing baby bump.
Hopefully Nicole and Keith will get married soon and put all these silly rumors behind them.

Avril Lavigne wore horizontal stripes again in an attempt to foil the cameras from capturing her growing baby bump at the Hot Hollywood awards. She also wore a horizontally striped top to the earlier "Volvo for Life" awards ceremony on April 12th.
Life and Style speculated that Avril is pregnant over a month ago, and Avril's friends say she wants children right away. She plans to marry her live-in boyfriend, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, this summer in a traditional church wedding with a rocking reception.
Avril has lent her name to a list of media-savvy artists who are against the recording industry's strongarm tactics to try to "protect" recorded music. She and Deryk have joined the Canadian Music Creators Coalition to speak out against DRM locks on music files, and the practice of suing fans for music distribution.
Here is Avril at the Hot Hollywood Awards on Wednesday night. More pictures from the event are at alavigne.com.br.
Angelina revealed in an interview with Anne Curry that her due date is about a month away. She is now said to be expecting a boy that they're planning on naming Africa:
People reported a couple weeks ago that Jolie bought clothing suitable for a little girl and was overheard saying that she was expecting a girl, so chances are high that either one of these rumors is true.
Meanwhile the Jolie-Pitt Naimibian wedding rumor is further fueled by the fact that Brad bought a special "wedding crystal" that local custom dictates grooms give to brides on their wedding day:
The pair have already been the subject of two wedding hoaxes, which drew the world's press to Italy and to Namibia, where they were rumoured to be tying the knot last weekend (22APR06) - the same day Pitt bought his girlfriend the ivory crystal.
As Millie commented on our article about the rumored Namibian wedding, maybe Angelina will go through with it - as long as it's a local ceremony and not legally binding in the states.
Thanks to Just Jared for these screencaps from Angelina's Today show Interview. It aired this morning at 7am and will be shown in full on Dateline on Sunday at 7pm. Just Jared also has parts of the interview transcribed. Angelina is advocating for education for children around the world.
The Today show interview is not on YouTube yet, but you can watch it online with Internet Explorer only (cause it's MSNBC of course). Here's the video.
Here is another interview with Angelina from her pre-Brad days. She discusses a boy in Africa that she met during her UN ambassador work who particularly moved her. Try not to cry when you watch it.
Nicole Richie recently redesigned her engagement ring from AM from their first go-around, preserving the stone to use in a new setting. The couple is said to be making it official this July:
That sounds romantic, although we have to disagree that Nicole has put on weight. The couple broke up in December, 2005, and reconciled about two months ago.
Richie must be feeling particularly tender toward AM. He is recovering from "follow-up" work for his 2003 gastric bypass surgery, widely rumored to be plastic surgery to remove excess skin.
Here is Richie leaving Jack and Jill restaurant in Beverly Hills, and a pictures of her and AM outside the hospital [via] [via]
Several reports have Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie getting married in Namibia any day now. Last month's rumor that they were getting married in Italy turned out to be false of course, but in this case they're actually in the location where the wedding is said to be, so it may happen.
The main points supporting the wedding theory:
Angelina is said to want a traditional Namibian ceremony in a lodge in the Etoshan national game forest:
Uh-oh. I believe Angie has reportedly mentioned this type of ceremony before.
All the frills with no legal paper.
This same second friend says Brad, 42, and Angie, 30, have planned a wedding ceremony at a remote lodge in the Etosha National Park in northern Namibia, where wild animals roam. An insider at the Embassy of Namibia in Washington, D.C., says that such ceremonies are commonly performed by local tribal chieftains in a Bantu dialect.
The couple would be barefoot... and “will be asked to reach their arms toward the stars while the tribal leader calls upon the great spirits to watch over this man, this woman and their children until the end of time,” says the second friend.
It's kind of earthy, but it sounds romantic anyway. Brad and Angelina spent a few days at Okonjima Lodge a week and a half ago, and that may be where the wedding could take place. The getaway also serves a charitable purpose, and is "home to the AfriCat Foundation, a non-profit organisation committed to the conservation and rehabilitation of cheetahs and leopards."
Here are pictures of the Okonjima Lodge just in case they get married there. It looks nice but not quite nice enough for Brad and Angelina's wedding. Maybe the website doesn't do it justice. We also have pictures of the Burning Shore Lodge, where they are staying now. (Another lodge that would be a decent candidate for their wedding would be "Little Ongava," although we were wrong that they had visited there earlier.)
Nicole Kidman was photographed leaving a Starbucks in the Hamptons on 4/21 while clutching a pile of papers. Commentors on the bulletin board where we found the pictures note that she looks like she's covering a baby bump, especially in a side picture (shown inset) that seems to show a lower-stomach bulge. No one noticed that she's wearing what looks like a wedding ring on her left ring finger, though, suggesting she may have already married her boyfriend of less than a year, Keith Urban.
People have suggested Nicole is pregnant for a few weeks, and that she's planning a wedding to country singer Keith Urban. With these new pictures of Nicole hiding a baby bump and wearing a wedding ring, she may be confirming that both rumors are true.
Meanwhile someone made up the quote from Kidman wishing just Katie Holmes and her baby well, and seeming to deliberately leave Tom out:
However, Kidman’s publicist Catherine Olin has vehemently denied her client ever passed on her good wishes to the happy couple.
She fumes, “I've been deluged with press queries on the back of this and I'm completely taken aback.
"Ms Kidman never issues statements about her personal life. I'm her publicist and I never released this statement."
If Kidman is indeed pregnant and married, the press will soon be focussing on her and not as much on her freaky ex and his new baby.

My aunt is best friends with Sue Fleming, the personal trainer and founder of Buff Brides. Sue has written three books to help brides-to-be and moms shape up: "Buff Brides," "Buff Moms to Be," and "Buff Moms."
That's why I got all excited when I read in yesterday's The Sun that Katie Holmes had hired "a personal trainer from BuffBrides.com" to help her get in quick shape for her wedding ceremony. Here's what The Sun wrote:
She has already hired a personal trainer from BuffBrides.com.
There are no lists of personal trainers on Buff Brides.com, so it sounds like Katie has hired Sue Fleming, the owner, herself.
TMZ then runs with this story, stating flat out that Katie has met with Sue:
Now we have the specifics. A source tells TMZ that it's a sleek, strapless A-line dress that is form fitted across the waist and falls to the floor. As for cleavage -- not so much. The bust is cut straight across.
We're told Katie has very specific goals to look great in the dress, working especially hard on her shoulders and back.
Sue Fleming, the owner of Buff Brides told TMZ that Katie has decided to use her program, with the help of a personal trainer who has licensed the Buff Brides fitness regimen.
Fleming has written fitness books for brides, moms and moms-to-be. Musicians, actresses, newscasters, and TV stars have all used her methods.
While Katie may be using the BuffBrides method with her own trainer, she has not met personally with Sue Fleming, and TMZ is mistaken. It seems like they could have simply asked Sue about it if they were able to get her on the phone.
BuffBrides and its companion books are excellent, easy-to-follow programs that you can do at home to get in shape quickly. Katie is sure to be looking great for her summer wedding with Tom Cruise if she faithfully follows the program. You can get the books from Amazon.

We realize that we reported the demise of Angelina and Brad's relationship just yesterday. Just because they're fighting it doesn't mean that they have to break up. A story came out in Britain's Mirror claiming that Angelina and Brad might get married in Namibia!
They're staying at the Burning Shore Lodge again, and just stopped into the Etosha National Game Park for a few days. (Thanks to Glitterati for clearing this up.)
The story that they're planning a wedding is totally speculative, but it sounds promising that their family is flying in:
Heavily pregnant Angelina, 30, told her squad of body-guards to keep everyone off the beach, angering locals.
The Lara Croft star and Brad, 42, have been seen visiting private lodges that specialise in beach weddings.
Relatives are expected to join them within days.
An insider said: "We've heard Brad Pitt's brother Doug is flying out and some of her family, too. Everyone's wondering if they're going to get married here before the baby's born.
Of course Angelina is due next month, so that could explain the relatives flying in. Still it seems kind of early to have people visit, so it's possible that they're planning a wedding!
Here are the pictures of the resort where they're staying that we've already posted.
Guess Kate didn't pay Doherty enough cash to keep his mouth shut, because he reportedly spilled the beans about their planned wedding while at an Austrian porn club.
Doherty claims that he's going to marry Kate in a ceremony in Scotland this fall and says that he loves to get high and have sex with the supermodel:
“A posh Scottish castle. That’s gonna be so cool.”
He also told how much he loved having sex with model Kate while high on drugs.
The waster said: “Drugs or sex — they are both great.
“The best is a combination of both of them. I really love sex on substances — nothing beats that.”
The article went on to reveal that Pete plans to pass his required drug tests by getting someone else's urine samples. He also called himself the new John Lennon, and "the most important rock star now!"
Kate is said to visit Pete with a purse full of bundled-up cash to help secure his silence about their reconciled relationship. She also has offered to pay the bill for Pete to have his teeth fixed. Pete rarely brushes his teeth and suffers from bad halitosis.
As one of the world's highest paid models, Kate has to be careful about her public image. She seems to have recovered splendedly from the cocaine scandal she suffered last year, and has just secured a new $875,000 contract advertising jeans for Calvin Klein. She will also face no warning or charges for the crime of using cocaine and the stupidity of being caught on tape.
Here is Pete Doherty with one of his many Jaguars outside his flat in London on April 2 and Kate Moss outside a dentist's office recently. Maybe Moss was making inquiries for Doherty. Hopefully he'll get rid of his terrible breath in time for their honeymoon.

Avril Lavigne probably is pregnant as we mentioned yesterday, because now TMZ is reporting that she plans to marry her fiance, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley this summer.
She also is said to wants kids right away, which is celebrity-code for "I'm pregnant."
Lavigne -- who got engaged to her fellow Canadian last summer -- has told her friends to brace themselves for a traditional white wedding at an undisclosed church in Beverly Hills.
Avril is said to be planning a reception with circus performers, comedians and popular rock bands. She'll probably make a mint off selling the pictures.

Tom Cruise opens up about his painful childhood in an upcoming interview with Parade magazine. He could not rely on his father, who was unpredictable and abusive:
The headline-making celebrity says the poor treatment actually taught him a lot. "It was a great lesson in my life -- how he'd lull you in, make you feel safe and then, bang!" he says. "For me it was like, 'There's something wrong with this guy. Don't trust him. Be careful around him.' There's that anxiety."
Tom said that he felt like an outcast as a child and had "no really close friend." His battle with dyslexia served to further isolate him and was "an absolute affront to my dignity."
We feel sorry for Tom, and have some insight into his character. It's still not a good enough excuse for him to serve as a spokesperson for the cult of Scientology.
Liz Smith points out that it doesn't matter if Tom gets bad press - as long as he continues to get press. Tom made a fool of himself while promoting War of the Worlds on Oprah and The Today Show. War of the Worlds was a big hit though, and Smith predicts MI3 will be, too.
Tom seems to realize this, and has even pledged to go back on the Today Show with Matt Lauer!
Smith also provides insight as to why Cruise would be sharing stories of his dysfunctional childhood at this point in his career:
Meanwhile press-hungry Tom has confirmed that he plans to marry his pregnant fiance Katie this summer. He may not have have much time to spend with his new bride while he's promoting Mission Impossible 3.

The rumors that Nicole Kidman, 38, and Keith Urban, 38, are getting hitched seem to come up frequently, but this time there's a decent reason: Nicole has been granted an annulment from her 11 year marriage to Tom Cruise. This clears the way for her to marry again in a Catholic ceremony.
It is also rumored that Kidman's parents want her to make Urban sign a prenupital agreement so that he can't get his hands on her fortune.
Meanwhile there's supposed to be a scandalous reason behind Nicole and Tom's divorce that may be revealed by the surveillance tapes that were seized in an FBI investigation of the private eye that Tom hired to snoop on Nicole. No one seems to know what the scandal is exactly, so the mere existence of one doesn't mean that it's newsworthy.

Like everyone else, we assumed that the Jolie-Pitts were flying back to the states when they were photographed three days ago at the airport. That's why we didn't publish these pictures of Brad flying in Nice when we came across them earlier today - we assumed they were old.
It turns out that the famous couple flew to the south of France and that the unexpected venue afforded the Jolie-Pitts a precious few days out of the spotlight. These photos are of Brad flying yesterday.
Speculation is rampant that bitter Jennifer Aniston may beat her ex to the altar, and that Oprah will host the wedding!
“She just wants to be Vince’s bride - today, tomorrow, next week. She’s told him to name the day. As long as that day comes soon, that is."
Life & Style Weekly cites a source that believes that Jen & Vince may be married before the release of their summer film opens.
And despite the sneaky way that Aniston got Oprah to endorse James Fry's lousy psuedo-memoir (to promote the hoped-for film, for which Aniston owns the movie rights), Oprah has agreed to host Aniston's wedding at her estate. Aniston reportedly wants a huge lavish affair to show the world how utterly petty and wasteful she can be. (She also probably can't have the thing at her house since it's overrun with rabbits.)
No matter what she does or who she attaches herself to, you can be sure that Aniston won't be happy.

Their second wedding will be a formal affair and Hilary is already shopping for an elegant bridal gown.
“Getting separated was the best thing Hilary and Chad have ever done for their marriage,” their pal says. “It made them realize that they were meant to be together."
That is good news and we wish them all the best. Guess those pets were enough to cement their relationship after all. In related news, Mike Myers and his estranged wife also share custody of their dogs.

Life & Style says that Pitt called Aniston to warn her to prepare for news of the couple's wedding.
“Jen had asked Brad to let her know so she could prepare personally and publicly for the media attention,” says a friend of Jen’s.
“But she asked that he spare her the details, and the call lasted less than three minutes.”
If this is true, and we doubt it, it may mean that the Jolie-Pitts were planning to get married at some point, somewhere - or that they did already get married and managed to hide it. If only they were friends of Chloe Sevigny, we could be assured that this is true.
The Jolie-Pitt clan traveled back to the States today. It looks like Angelina's mother won't get her dying wish to have her grandchild born in France, but with Jolie you never can tell.

We have no clue if Independence Day has some significance to the cult of Scientology, although the movie of the same name certainly has some parallels with their belief system. Rumor has it that Tom and Katie plan to get married on the Fourth of July according to the magazines Celebrity Living and Star:
[The Post Chronicle] reported earlier in the month that Tom and Katie are set to tie the knot on July 4 at the Scientology center in Los Angeles, according to Celebrity Living. The latest issue of Star magazine confirms this report.
An insider tells the magazine: "The dynamic duo will tie the knot at the Scientology centeR in Los Angeles in a four-day celebration. This is going to be a four-day bash; the biggest Tom has ever given."
This isn't the first time we've heard about upcoming wedding plans for the two, so take this for the rumor that is is. We are still waiting for news of Tom's ex, Nicole Kidman's supposed upcoming wedding to Keith Urban. It is a smidgen more substantial now that two gossip rags have jumped on the news.
Here are pictures of Katie and Tom out last night.

So nothing happened this weekend in the Italian region of Lake Como, just like we said about three times. Clooney is always right, and he denied knowing anything about a wedding a while ago. He also said he wasn't that tight with Pitt.
The poor residents of the area where it was supposed to go down were all worked up for no reason. They did get to cash in on the notoriety of the non-event, though:
Primed for "official duties", Mayor Simona Saladini had put on her best clothes, had her hair done in the local salon and kept the registry office open for an extra five hours, until 6pm on Saturday. It appeared, however, that she had been strung along. The mayor, local residents, curious tourists and 200 journalists were cruelly jilted at the altar when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie failed to get married at the Italian resort.
There was no cancellation of the union of "Brangelina" and it was unclear whether the world's most famous divorcees had been joined together in another hip European playground of the rich and famous, whether they had wearied of the wedding or whether they had ever intended to get married in the first place.
We think it was all a rumor to drum up Italian tourism and the paparrazi business, although neither seemed to be suffering before.

Yesterday we reported that it looked like not much is going to happen with the latest Jolie-Pitt wedding rumors. TMZ reports that it doesn't matter if the wedding actually happens, because the paparazzi are getting paid just for creating a stir:
TV shows and magazines are running stories on the rumored nuptials and buying photos from the paparazzi -- photos of the paparazzi swarming the town!
So here's the business model. Start a bogus rumor, then charge the media money for the pictures you take of the others who are also spreading the bogus rumor -- Capitalism, ain't it something?
Meanwhile USWeekly has one off live blogging from the non-event at Lake Como:
This reminds me of the google research frenzy I was in yesterday trying to dig up information on Gisele Bundchen's new date. It turns out she was just having a business dinner. I so wanted to run that story and like to think that a few people would have repeated it.
Here's Brad taking a flying lesson on March 15th. He has the same instructor we've seen with Angelina.

Reports that Pitt and Jolie are marrying in Italy has Italian villiagers and reporters all in a tizzy. A local hotel is cleaning up in what is said to be preparation for the wedding. It sounds like a hoax to us:
“They are cleaning the village and tidying up everything, something is going to happen,” said Andrea, who declined to give his surname.
We reported a few days ago that the couple was said to be planning a wedding on a boat in the middle of Lake Como, but that we thought the story was pulled out of someone's butt.
Other rumors include:
Brad Pitt's family supposedly wants him to marry Angelina right away. They think Brad should secure his rights to the children should the couple break up.
And skinny Angie is said to be planning plastic surgery should she have trouble shaping up after the baby is born.
Even if she gains a few pounds or sags in places, she's sure to remain the favorite pin-up of lesbians everywhere.

"For me, it's hasn't been as bad as everyone thinks," Urban admitted. "You know, it's not like their stalking outside our house 24/7, it's not like that."
Urban made the comments during a co-hosting stint on "Country Showdown USA." While he wouldn't get into wedding rumors, he did say there are some things he and Nicole just can't do.
"There are certain things you want to go do together, and you want your mate to be there," Urban said. "But mostly you just try and, you know, pick places where you shouldn't be going because it's going to be too crazy."
Things got crazy a week ago when news outlets speculated that Kidman was planning a wedding because she was nowhere to be found. It turns out that she was just spending alone time with Urban.
The latest rumor according to Britain's The Sun is that Kidman and Urban are planning a wedding in Nashville in June.

No wonder they're fighing so much. The Enquirer is set to report that Tom and Katie got married in a tripped-out Scientology ceremony at sea eight months ago:
Cruise and Holmes, who met a few months earlier, are said to have exchanged rings emblazoned with triangular Scientology symbols during a Caribbean cruise aboard the sect's ship the Freewinds. (They supposedly wear their rings only at church functions.) Holmes, who once claimed she would remain virginal until her wedding day, wore white, says the tab.
After the ceremony, the couple walked across a tiny bridge — a Scientology symbol for the journey to "total freedom," sources claim. Scientologists John Travolta and Kirstie Alley are said to have been on the ship, where guests also celebrated Cruise's 43rd birthday.
Katie's family was not there, and of course Tom's rep is denying it.
They were married in some freaky ritual. Now when they break up all of Katie's thetans will come back to torment her with their memories of mass extinction and she'll never achieve a state of clarity like Tom Cruise.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are supposed to be planning a wedding that will take place next week on a boat in the middle of Italy's Lake Como near George Clooney's villa:
This sounds rather far-fetched, considering that George Clooney seemed earnest when he said in an appearance on "Larry King Live" on 2/16/06 that the couple had not asked him to use his villa for a wedding. He also said he was friends with Pitt but that they weren't very close:
CLOONEY: No but I will now. He can come there if he wants. A bunch of tabloids, all the tabloids had that that he’s coming to my house to get married. I wanted to rent a bunch of tables, you know, and put them outside and then get a bunch of like kids or something dressed up in tuxes and watch them in tuxes and watch all the cameras come by.
From what Clooney said, (and Clooney is always right) it sounds like the tabloids just make this shit up. It makes no sense that Brad and Angelina would choose to get married on a boat in the middle of the lake near a villa that an aquaintance owns. It's pretty fucking stupid, actually.

Pitt was the face of Edwin Jeans, the "Levis of the East," from 1996 to 1999. He has appeared in Japanese ads for the Toyota Prius and for coffee, but only lent his fame to one US ad - a Heineken commercial for the 2005 Super Bowl.

We reported two days ago that wedding rumors were heating up for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Now Kidman has been missing for several days and people are speculating that she's holed up somewhere planning the nuptuals:
Editors from New York to Sydney are scrambling to find Nicole in case she's planning a secret wedding to her reported boyfriend, country singer Keith Urban, this weekend.
A source tells TMZ: "There have been strong rumors that these two are going to get hitched and with Nicole not around, everyone is panicking. We are checking her favorite hotels in Los Angeles, her apartment in New York and even her relatives Down Under to find her."
Nicole may simply be taking a rest at some out of the way spa, but we hope the rumors are true. We're rooting for Kidman to beat her crazy ex Tom to the altar.
Update: Jude Law's ex, Sadie Frost, is still not sure if Law cheated on her with Nicole Kidman after the two were photographed together by British tabloid The Sun. Kidman said that she only had a working relationship with Law and won a defamation suit against the tabloid. Law also denied the affair. Frost now says she can't be certain if Law hooked up with Kidman, because he's proved to be a cheater since.

The article is long-winded without mentioning a source, and this may not be true. It is characteristic of Jolie's way of announcing information to the press, though. She confirmed pregnancy rumors by letting Haitian charity Yele Haiti sell her bump pictures for $400,000 to People Magazine.
Other recent rumors swirling around the world's most famous couple include "Jolie wants an open marriage," "Jolie and Pitt to wed in Ireland," and "Pitt tries in vain not to piss off Aniston while planning wedding." None are particularly revelatory.
Julie is said to be due with the couple's first biological child in May.

"Too many people are involved to keep the time and place a secret for much longer," says a friend of Nicole.
Kidman and Urban met at an LA dinner honoring Australians in January 2005 and seem to have started dating over the summer. They initially struggled to keep their romance a secret. In fact Kidman was criticized for an August, 2005 publicist's statement that she was "enjoying a nice friendship" with Urban. The couple went public with their relationship at February's Grammy awards.
This is not the first wedding rumor for the pair. In late December The Sun reported that they were to be married "that weekend". A month later the rumor mill heated up again with stories of a wedding in March. Nicole's publicist denied those reports, calling them "nonsense." In February Nicole was said to be tired of ex-addict Keith's partying, and may have called off the engagement.
This seems like the most substantial wedding rumor yet. Nicole has been wearing a gorgeous diamond engagement ring and it seems to be just a matter of time before she marries Urban. While Nicole did not wear her ring to the Academy Awards, she did sit with Keith and took him to the Vanity Fair party as her date. We hope she beats her ex, Tom, to the altar.
