Wonderful Bella's Official Wedding Photos

We'll admit it, we scoured the internet all last week for photos of Bella wearing her gorgeous Carolina Herrera original wedding dress. We already have the Alfred Angelo lookalike gown -- but what about the real thing?

Well now, the photos are finally here. Several photos from the vampire wedding of the century have now been released, showing Bella's dress, hairstyle, rings and shoes in better detail. So what do you think? Would you wear Bella's dress -- relatively conservative from the front -- but all cut out in the back? And what do you think of her sparkly shoes? Those Manolo's actually weren't created exclusively for the film, and you can buy them here for $1,295.


Engagement Ring by Britney Spears

Now that it's official, thanks to Spears' Facebook announcement -- we've got all the details on Britney Spears engagement ring from Jason Trawick.

The ring was designed by Neil Lane and Trawick apparently had a big hand in ensuring the custom creation was perfect, reports People.com. The ring has a tiara-motif and "looks like a mini crown," Lane says. It features a perfect round white diamond in a platinum setting with 90 small diamonds that stretch around the eternity band. "Jason didn't want an over-the-top ring with a giant stone," says Lane. (Take that, Kim.) And let's be honest, the ring is pretty tasteful, as far as celeb engagement rings go these days. We're impressed.


Lane also adds that when it finally came time to pick up the ring -- and thus, nearly time to pop the question -- Trawick was just as nervous as any other guy might be. "[He] was so excited and nervous. At the end of the day, even with all the fame, he's still a normal guy who was about to propose to the woman he loves," Lane tells People.com.

After popping the question, the couple jetted off to Las Vegas to celebrate their engagement -- and Trawick's 40th birthday, reports E! Online. The two lovebirds were spotted kissing and canoodling all night as they dinned first on salmon and pizzas, before celebrating with a birthday dessert of gumdrops, cupcake and an awesome red velvet cake. Spears tweeted late in the evening that it was "one of the most magical nights of [her] life."

No word yet on the wedding date, but we're betting it will be spectacular.

Backstreet Boys Singer A.J. McLean Gets Married

On Saturday, Backstreet Boys singer A.J. McLean said "I do" to his longtime girlfriend, Rochelle Deanna Karidis on the Crystal Lawn at the Beverly Hills Hotel, reports the Daily Mail.

The event was reportedly planned by celeb wedding planner Mindy Weiss and was officiated by celebrity photographer Tyler Shields. The bride wore a gown by Vera Wang and walked down the aisle to "November Rain," the classic Guns 'N Roses ballad, reports Us magazine. Fellow Boys Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, and former member Kevin Richardson were reportedly all there as well.

The singer, who is currently staging a bit of a comeback with the rest of the band members, check himself into rehab for substance abuse problems earlier this year. That announcement came just two months after their comeback announcement. McLean also went to rehab in 2001 and in 2002, but it looks like now, he's in the clear thanks to his new bride. "I really miss and love [Rochelle]. You are my whole world and I cannot wait to spend my life with you," he tweeted earlier this year to his fiance. "Without you here, I am lost!"

Sinead O'Connor Married

Let's hear it for nontraditional weddings! "Nothing Compares 2 U" songstress Sinead O'Connor tied the knot on Thursday with her fiance Barry Herridge in a pink Cadillac at a chapel in Las Vegas, reports People.com.

The singer, who also celebrated her 45th birthday on the same day, said her "I dos" while sitting in the back of a pink Cadillac convertible, and while wearing a strapless pink dress. Her groom also wore a light pink shirt under a gray suit. "She wanted to do the whole thing in a Cadillac. That was her thing," says an insider.

The duo arrived at around 7 p.m., filled out their paperwork and then settled into the Caddy at A Little White Wedding Chapel, the famous quickie spot on the Las Vegas strip. After a 10 minute ceremony, O'Connor and Herridge lit candles and the employees of the chapel sang "Happy Birthday" to the bride.

Britney Spears to Get Engaged

Rumor has it, Britney Spears is finally ready to say yes to her longtime beau, Jason Trawick, reports TMZ. And the question could come as soon as Friday night.

Multiple sources have told the gossip site that Trawick plans to pop the question tonight in Las Vegas. But then again, it could have already happened. Spears posted earlier on Twitter, "OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I've been waiting for. Can't wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo."

Either way, insiders say Spears conservators will need to sign off on the nuptials, meaning the matter will have to be brought before a judge; but it's virtually certain the judge will sign off.

Sources also claim that Trawick went about it the old-fashioned way, asking Spears dad, Jamie Spears, for permission to marry his daughter. But it isn't all romance. Spears reportedly knows the engagement is coming and the two are also planning to have a pre-nup.

This would be Spears' third wedding, reports the Daily Mail. Her first, to a childhood friend from her hometown in Louisiana last just 55-hours, after which she asked for an annulment. But just six months later, she was engaged again -- this time to her backup dancer, Kevin Federline. The two wed in 2004 in a much more elaborate affair (Spears wore a $26,000 Monique Lhuillier and described the wedding as her "fairy tale"). They went on to have two children together before officially divorcing in 2008.

we'll keep you posted when the rumor gets confirmed... and we definitely can't wait to see the new bling Spears will have! Via
