ROD STEWART WEDS
Let’s hope the third time will be the charm for singer Rod Stewart. The 62-year-old rocker tied the knot with his model girlfriend of seven years, Penny Lancaster, today in a small town in Italy.
According to news reports, the only people present were the bride, the groom and two witnesses… oh, and the huge white diamond that sat on the new Mrs. Stewart’s ring finger.
Sources say the ceremony lasted about 30 minutes and was followed by a photo session in landscaped gardens near the ceremony site. The wedding party was then whisked away to a motorboat, which took them back to their yacht where the festivities continued and the newlyweds were reunited with their 18-month-old son Alastair.
PARIS PRAYS
The countdown to Paris Hilton’s release from jail is on… just under 10 days until the hotel heiress reigns over L.A. hotspots… oh, wait, scratch that… I forgot… that was the old Paris. The new Paris (as she identified herself in a recent phone interview with Barbara Walters) has found God and is turning over a new leaf.
In an interview with reporters completed just yesterday, law enforcement officers who are in contact with the socialite-turned-jailbird said that the 26-year-old has asked them to pray for her. What’s more, they say while her medical condition has “stabilized,” she is still “emotionally fragile” and “prays constantly in her cell” asking God for “strength.”
Some how I get the feeling that she will survive.
NICOLE PREGNANT?
Is Nicole Richie about to be a mother? Rumors of the rail-thin reality TV star’s pregnancy have been swirling all week, but now some media outlets are saying that in addition to being with child, Richie is also engaged to her boyfriend Joel Madden.
According to the New York Post, Richie showed up to a charity event on Thursday sporting a gargantuan diamond engagement ring and refusing alcoholic beverages.
Could it be that a baby is really on the way… or is she just trying not to go the way of BFF’s Paris and Lindsay?
