France’s President Courts Famous Model—Is a Wedding in the Works?

If you ask supermodel Carla Bruni’s mother then the answer is “yes.” At least that’s what is being trumpeted on the front page of France’s “Le Parisien.” According to Bruni’s mother, Marisa Borini, official confirmation could come as early as January 1st. If you haven’t been following the whirlwind (and slightly bizarre) romance between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and model-turned-singer-songwriter Bruni then allow me to get you up to speed. Less than three months ago the 52-year-old Sarkozy divorced his second wife Cecilia. Then, about a month later he met the 39-year-old former supermodel at a dinner party in Paris. … Continue reading

“Grey’s” Star Gets Hitched

Katherine Heigl is officially off the market. The 29-year-old “Grey’s Anatomy” star will be celebrating Christmas as a married woman in the arms of her new husband musician Josh Kelley. The couple wed yesterday in a black-tie ceremony at a ski resort near Park City, Utah. According to news reports, the sunset ceremony took place under a giant white tent in front of family members and several of Heigl’s “Grey’s” costars, including Sandra Oh, Kate Walsh, and T.R. Knight. Heigl reportedly walked down the aisle to an acoustic song written by Kelley and performed by a cello and guitar players. … Continue reading

Pamela Anderson Marries… AGAIN!

UGG! I mean UGH! She’s done it again. Former “Baywatch” babe Pamela Anderson tied the knot last night in Las Vegas to longtime pal Rick Salomon. The 40-year-old actress turned magician’s sidekick reportedly donned a white denim Valentino dress (it included significantly more material than the white string bikini she wore when she wed ex-husband No.2 Kid Rock on a boat last year) during her intimate ceremony, while celeb guests including Tobey Maguire and Lukas Haas looked on. No word on whether her choice of footwear was fur-lined. Anderson said, “I do” at the Mirage Hotel in Vegas during her … Continue reading

A Secret Wedding and A Secret Engagement

They finally did it. After more than four years together actor Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer got married in a secret sunset ceremony on the Big Island of Hawaii Monday. According to Maguire’s rep, the nuptials were witnessed by a very small group of family members (including the couple’s 9-month-old daughter) and a few close friends. The 32-year-old “Spider-Man” star and 30-year-old Meyer (the daughter of Hollywood big wig Ron Meyer, president and chief operating officer of Universal Studios) have been dating since 2003 and were engaged last year shortly after Meyer learned she was pregnant. Their daughter Ruby was … Continue reading

A Surprise Split and a Planned Wedding

SURPRISE SPLIT So much for those pregnancy rumors… US Weekly is reporting that actors Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have split. According to the magazine, the pair who met on the set of “Brokeback Mountain” in 2005, “quietly and amicably split a few weeks ago.” Sources close to the couple say their relationship has been “rocky” for a while, but they tried to make it work for the sake of their 23-month-old daughter Mathilda. Unfortunately, the pair’s pals tell the magazine that Ledger and Williams simply “grew apart” and decided it would be best if they separated. The couple is … Continue reading

Back Home: Owen Wilson and Usher

Less than a week after police say he attempted to end his life, actor Owen Wilson is reportedly back at home in Santa Monica this morning… but he’s not alone. According to news sources, the “Wedding Crashers” star is being watched around the clock. “Owen is in bad mental shape but said he is thankful to be alive,” a source close to actor told reporters. “He knows he came close to ending his life, and he is happy that he was saved from himself. He is basically at home with people watching him 24/7.” You’ll recall the 38-year-old actor was … Continue reading

Pop Culture Potpourri: Celebrity Weekend Wedding and Babies Galore

She didn’t get to take home the mirrored disco-ball trophy on season three of “Dancing with the Stars,” but contestant Willa Ford is not complaining… she’s got a real prize in her life—-her new husband. The singer-actress married her longtime beau and Dallas Stars hockey player Mike Modano in Texas on Saturday, according to her manager. Reports say the 26-year-old blonde beauty exchanged vows with her 37-year-old husband in an early evening ceremony held at a private ranch in front of 75 guests. And get this: Ford wore a wedding gown she designed herself. Saturday’s wedding puts to rest rumors … Continue reading

Usher Gets Married

Yes, I was shocked when I heard about it too. (After all, this was a blog I planned to have done last week.) Less than six days after the R&B singer and his fiancée Tameka Foster abruptly cancelled their much-publicized Hamptons wedding the two made it legal in Atlanta on Friday. According to news reports, Usher is a married man. And it reportedly happened in the less than glamorous setting of his lawyer’s office—void of the pomp and circumstance that surrounded their original event. From what I’ve heard, simple would be an understatement. The couple reportedly went to Usher’s attorney’s … Continue reading

Why Usher Is Still Single

It was supposed to be one of the biggest bashes of the summer. Star couples including Beyoncé and Jay Z, as well as Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri were en route to Usher’s planned wedding to Tameka Foster in the Hamptons on Saturday when they received word the nuptials had been called off. So what went so terribly wrong that the couple (who are due to become parents this fall) would cancel their own wedding? We may never know the real answer, but after the wedding cancellation was announced, media outlets (and various online chatrooms) went into overdrive to solve … Continue reading

Mr. Superstitious Weds

Here’s what I don’t get… it has been widely reported that San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker is so incredibly superstitious that he insisted that he and his new bride Eva Longoria be married on 7-7-07. Only, as it turns out the couple’s civil ceremony–the one that essentially legally sealed the deal for the two high profile stars–took place on July 6th in a stuffy chamber at Paris City Hall. It’s true; French law does require a civil ceremony even when couples marry in a church, but why not simply complete both on the same day if the date matters so … Continue reading
