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

Robin Williams & Susan Schneider Married

First up, Robin Williams is now a married man, The 60-year-old comedian and actor extraordinaire married graphic designer Susan Schneider in what's being called an "intimate" wedding, reports Us weekly.

The wedding was held last weekend at the luxe Meadowood Resort in the Napa Valley town of St. Helena.This marks the third wedding for the Mrs. Doubtfire actor, whose divorce from his second wife, Marsha, was finalized last year. He has two children from his first wife, Valerie, a son, Zachary, 28, and daughter Zelda, 22; and one son, Cody, 22, from Marsha.

Since the wedding, the couple has been spotted honeymooning in Paris, reports People.com. The couple arrived on Tuesday morning and after checking in to a boutique hotel, set off to do some sightseeing. Williams speaks French fluently, so the two had no problem dining at a local cafe opposite the Tuileries Garden on the rue de Rivoli. Via

Amazing Eva Amurri's Wedding Dress

For a personal touch, Amurri and Martino's wedding date was embroidered in the gown's lining in a light blue -- the bride's "something blue." And though the gown was couture, Amurri says she found her matching pair of kitten heels online for just $80. And though all eyes were likely on the bride, Martino's tux was also custom made. "Brioni made it especially for him," Amurri tells the magazine. Amurri got engaged to the Fox Soccer Channel commentator in December of 2010. Via

Wonderful Oscars Red Carpet Fashion

We're just under 30 minutes until the official kick off of the Oscars pre-show -- where all of the biggest stars will walk the red carpet, and of course, we'll bring their red carpet style into something aisle worthy.

As for right now? Really loving the chick gray number that Kelly Osborne is wearing (she'll be co-hosting tonight on E! -- love her!), you could almost turn that white and instantly have it be wedding ready. I'm also really looking forward to what Anne Hathaway will wear as she hosts the show tonight (along with James Franco, seen at right). It's all coming up soon, so stayed tuned!

Angelina Engaged from Jersey Shore

We've got a situation. Bad girl Angelina Pivarnick was completely caught off-guard at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday when her boyfriend, David Kovacs, randomly got down on one knee and popped the question, reports RadarOnline.

The reality-star-turned-singer was completely surprised when David turned to her and proposed as they walked the red carpet at the Style360 Sachika’s Fashion Show. "Oh my God, the kid just got down on one knee and I was like, what the f**k?" Angelina tells Radar.

Several people saw the very public proposal. One insider confirmed, "The ring is platinum and 2.5 carats." Angelina was supposedly completely shocked, said onlookers, and "covered her face with her hand to hide her excitement." (Or embarrassment?) "She kept dropping the ring on the carpet because she was so nervous. But David picked her up and the two hugged and kissed," an onlooker tells Radar.

The reality star, who left Jersey Shore during the season taped in Miami due to multiple feuds with her housemates, has since gone on to start a singing career. She's also scheduled to appear in an upcoming film, "Every Time I Go to Staten Island Something Bad Happens." Check out more photos of Angelina's surprise engagement here.

William and Kate First Official Appearances

Welcome to the royal world, Kate! Kate and William made a couple of official appearances today, starting with the christening of a boat, according to People.com and ending with a visit to their alma mater (and the place where they first met), St. Andrews.

Kate looked a little cold while pouring a bottle of champagne over the public launch of a lifeboat in North Wales on Thursday, but was still all smiles for the crowds that showed up to greet the happy couple. The two named the "Hereford Endeavor" lifeboat, provided by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution in a ceremony at the Trearddur Bay Lifeboat Station, an event which seems entirely designed to ease Kate into her royal duties.

The princess-to-be showed that her Welsh lessons must be paying off, since she sang along to the national anthem, "Hen Wlad fy NhaDau (Land of my Fathers)." Later, William explained that while he does the "talking bit, she's going to do the fun bit," at which point Kate poured the champagne over the boat.

But their royal agenda hardly ended there. Kate and William headed back to their alma mater Friday to launch the 600th anniversary celebrations at the school, reports the UK's Daily Mail. Kate wore a bright red suit with black buttons and a Clarence House spokesperson said that no details about the suit's designer could be given, but that it did come from Kate's own wardrobe (we're guessing someone will figure it out soon).

Even though the weather was cold and windy, plenty of well-wishers turned out and patiently waited for a chance to glimpse or shakes hands with the young royals. The university also announced they would be creating a scholarship in honor of the royal wedding. While Kate greeted fans wearing a pair of black leather gloves, she later took them off to reveal her gorgeous sapphire engagement ring.

Victoria Beckham with Dress Kate

We already knew that soccer star David Beckham and former Spice girl Victoria Beckham had been invited to the royal wedding -- but it looks like Kate is interested in more than just Mrs. Beckham's friendship, according to People.com.

The singer-turned-fashion-designer told Britain's Daily Telegraph, "Apparently, [Kate] likes my clothes and has asked to see a selection." The designer, speaking from her New York Fashion Week Show, said it would be an "honor" to dress the princess-in-waiting, adding, "It's tremendously exciting."

Victoria's most recent collection has been generally well-received since it premiered on Sunday. Victoria is also expecting her fourth child at the end of June.

This just in -- Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, has announced his engagement, reports the Washington Post. Diana's brother is perhaps best known for the (somewhat scathing) eulogy he gave at Diana's funeral. Earl Spencer reportedly plans to tie the knot in June to Canadian philanthropist Karen Gordon. He was broke off his previous engagement, to Lady Bianca Eliot, just four months ago. Charles was previously married to model Victoria Lockwood, with whom he has four children. His second marriage was to Caroline Freud, with whom he has two children. Let's hope the third time is a charm.

Beautiful Kate Middleton with Hat Designer

Of course it wouldn't be a springtime British wedding without lots of gorgeous hats and over-the-top fascinators. Which has had us wondering... who will be dressing the royal heads for the wedding?

Famed hat maker Philip Treacy has confirmed that he's designing wedding hats for "some members of the royal family and attendees," reports People.com. Philip has designed hats for stars like Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady Gaga -- and worked with royals like Camilla Parker Bowles (Kate's future step-mother-in-law). Philip even designed Camilla's feathery headpiece for her wedding to Prince Charles.

But there are other rumors that indicate Philip might be designing for Kate herself. "Kate recently met Treacy after the Duchess of Cornwall (Parker Bowles) recommended his designs for the senior members of the wedding party, including mother-of-the-bride Carole," says Katie Nicholl in the UK's Mail on Sunday. Insiders say that Kate will stick to tradition for the ceremony, wearing a veil, but is "keen on wearing something fabulous," for the evening reception.

Kate is also expected to have another costume change -- her dress -- and wear a different wedding gown entirely for the dinner and dance hosted by Prince Charles. (Plus, check out photos of Kate as a kid.)

Bachelor Spoilers with Angelina

So was it a publicity stunt? That's what some insiders claim about Angelina Pivarnick's recent red carpet engagement, reports Perez Hilton.

Sources that not only is the engagement a publicity stunt to get her back on the reality TV series, but that her supposed fiance, Dave Kovacs doesn't even like her. In fact, Angelina is dating a Staten Island firefighter. Says the source, "They aren't even friends on Facebook. The whole thing is weird... The day she got engaged to Dave, she put photos of herself and Ivan [the firefighter] on her Twitter."

So what do you think? Could it be possible that Angelina is just that desperate to get back into the limelight?

And in other reality TV news, bad boy Bachelor star Brad Womack has reportedly bought a $90,000 ring to give to his chosen lady, according to The Hollywood Life. Though the winner won't be revealed for weeks, the season finale was actually taped a while back -- so the winner just needs to keep her hands hidden until the episode airs. Says the insider, "The stone is a round diamond with a pave eternity band. The setting is in platinum. The whole piece is just spectacular." For $90,000? Yes, we should hope it is indeed spectacular.

Incredible Natalie Portman's Ethereal Look from Italian Bridal Designer

Natalie Portman hit the red carpet fashionably late, but looking just as gorgeous as ever. We picked this draped, tip of the shoulder gown from Le Sposa di Gio, a small Italian bridal designer, for her look alike bridal gown. The rouching, and soft silk chiffon goes perfectly with the flowing, ethereal look that Natalie (now visibly pregnant!) has on the red carpet. via Just Jared and Le Sposa di Gio.

Fantastic Perfectly Scarlett Johansson in Lace

Scarlett Johansson took to the red carpet in a peek a boo cut out lace gown that showed off her curvy figure. While we love the way the lace looks on the red carpet with, even with a slight glimpse of her black bra (and I think her black thong from the back...) it might not work on the aisle. That's why we picked this classic lace gown with a high collar from Beth Elis. Lots of stars this year opted for higher-necklines, and this wedding dress captures that look perfectly. Via

Elegant Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa

Cutie Hailee Steinfeld might be the world's luckiest 14-year-old tonight, as she attends the Oscars for the first time in a custom-made Marchesa gown. The dress is totally age-appropriate, and yet has a timeless elegance. Hailee, who co-starred in True Grit says that she actually sketched the dress herself and gave that to Marchesa, who made the gown for her. Love it? Why not try this Oscar de la Renta style, which captures the same playful length. While the colors are a little different, we think the fun, light-hearted feel to both dresses gets the right mood across. via 3am.co.uk

Wonderful Mandy Moore Designed By Monique Lhuillier

Wonderful Mandy Moore hit the red carpet tonight looking all grown up in this gorgeous gown from Monique Lhuillier. The illusion neckline, the crystal details and the modified A-line are all so of-the-moment! And that color just looks lovely with her skin tone. Love it? Then try this bridal version, also from Monique Lhuillier. via Celebrity-Gossip.net

Wedding Michael Buble

Michael Buble is officially a married man. The singer tied the knot with his girlfriend, Luisana Loreley Lopilato de la Torre in Buenos Aires in a series of elegant ceremonies, reports People.com.

And, keeping in line with a stateside trend, Lopilato also donned a trio of dresses for the two different weekend wedding ceremonies. For the civil ceremony in Bueonos Aires, the 23-year-old TV star wore a violet dress with a crystal encrusted bodice (far left photo). On Saturday, Lopilato donned a more traditional gown designed by Argentinean designer Sylvie Burstin (middle photo). This religious ceremony, held at a private mansion called Villa Maria Paz, was attended by some 300 guests, and Lopilato’s father, Eduardo, walked her down the aisle. That gown reportedly featured a satin bodice with a plunging neckline and a feminine, tiered skirt made of layers of tulle, with ribbons and silk thread embroidery. She also wore a pair of Christian Louboutin heels.

Then, during the reception — which featured a special performance by Buble of “Haven’t Met You Yet” which he dedicated to his new wife — Lopilato slipped into a silk chiffon v-neck gown by Marchesa (sketch, far right). The dress reportedly featured a delicate embroidered waist and details at the shoulders.

Insiders said the wedding was a big hit. “The wedding was unbelievably joyous,” said one insider. Guests danced until six in the morning, and “the bride and groom and families and friends had a phenomenal time,” says the source.

But the party isn’t over yet. Buble and Lopilato will reportedly hold yet another reception in Vancouver, Canada, close to the groom’s native Burnaby, in May.

New Royal Wedding Updates

Sure, plenty of couples get to see a recording of their wedding on video, but what about making an audio recording of the wedding available as an album? Moments after Kate and William exchange “I do’s,” Decca Records is expected to release the entire ceremony digitally on the same day, reports People.com.

And in May, they’ll debut a deluxe CD package, which will include a special collector’s booklet. it won’t be the first royal wedding album either. Diana and Charles’ 1981 nuptials were also released by Decca Records. “This is a great honor and an enormous responsibility,” says Anna Barry, the Grammy-nominated producer who will work on the record. “The wedding means so much to millions of people all over the world — we have to capture every note and every nuance perfectly and have the recording ready within minutes of the end of the ceremony.” (Talk about working on a tight deadline!)

Well, we’ve seen the mugs, tea towels, and even the royal wedding condoms — but what about a royal wedding refrigerator? That’s right, now you can think of Kate and Will every time you open your fridge thanks to a limited edition release from GE, reports PerezHilton.com. We’ll be honest, this is basically just a normal fridge with a big William and Kate decal on the door, right?

Not be left out of the memorabilia madness, Dunkin’ Donuts is also releasing a limited edition royal wedding doughnut. The heart-shaped sweet treat will be filled with jelly and available only from April 24-April 29 (the day of the wedding).

Meanwhile, production is underway for the Kate and William Lifetime movie that we reported about earlier. One notable scene so far that the tabloids are reporting on? Apparently after Kate gets dumped by William, there’s a scene of her crying into her wine glass in the bath tub. Other buzzed-about scenes from the upcoming film include one where the two are seen in bed together — but fully clothed. The actors, Camilla Luddington, who plays Kate, and Nico Evers-Swindell, who plays William, seem to be doing their best to pull off the iconic roles, but the film is already expected to be a highly-cliched version of the actual relationship.

And finally, Camilla Parker-Bowls, the future mother-in-law of Kate Middleton, has spoken out about her feelings on the upcoming wedding. “Kate’s a lovely girl,” she says according to the Daily Mail. “We’re very lucky. I’m very much looking forward to the wedding.” The two were recently spotted at dinner together at the Berkley Hotel in Knightsbridge — a three-star Michelin restaurant. An on-looker said they heard talk of “trumpets” possibly in reference to Westminster Abbey. “They were all getting on very well and they clearly hadn’t asked for an out-of-the-way table and nor did they attempt to lower their voices,” one diner said. Camilla has also recently joined Kate’s parents, Michael and Carole, who are reportedly looking to move into the Duchess’ former home, at a Royal Opera House performance of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland last week. Overall, it would appear that the new in-laws are set to get along drama-free.
