Official pictures of Avril Lavigne’s wedding, including the reception


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:

“I almost started crying as soon as I started walking down the first set of stairs,” Avril told ET Canada. “I just told myself: ‘You can’t cry now, it’s the beginning.’ So I had to hold it all in and I wanted to keep my composure. And I did.”

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.

Pictures from Canada.com. Some higher resolution candids of the cermony that were not published here before are at the end and are from ALavigne.com.br.

Avril Lavigne’s fairytale wedding - over 50 pictures


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:

At the outdoor, non-denominational ceremony, Lavigne was walked down the aisle by her father, John, to Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March.” She wore a Vera Wang gown and carried a bouquet of white roses.

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.

Thanks to ALavigne.com.br for the high quality photos. There are some watermarked images at the beginning and end, but most of the photos are decent quality. [via]

Nicole Kidman’s wedding memorabilia on eBay


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:

A once only special offer of mementos from the Nicole Kidman-Keith Urban wedding on Sunday 25th June, 2006.

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 to get married this weekend?


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:

AVRIL LAVIGNE celebrated her last days of being single by inviting her fiance, SUM 41 singer DERYCK WHIBLEY, to join her for her bachelorette bash on 30 June (06). The 21-year-old COMPLICATED singer received two sets of black 2Belles panties embroidered with ‘The Mrs’ in hot pink, plus a posh bra, panty and camisole set from lingerie company Cherish. According to an eyewitness, “She was excited, but a little embarrassed.” After opening her presents, Lavigne donned a veil with devil horns and the couple and 20 pals dined at hip Los Angeles restaurant Koi. The group then moved on to celebrity nightclub Lobby where they partied alongside JESSICA ALBA and NICKY HILTON. The couple have yet to announce their official wedding date.

Speculation is rampant that Lavigne and Whibley will marry this weekend, with reports that they have already notified friends and family:

Etalk reports that a California ceremony is imminent for the punk princess and the Sum 41 front man.

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.

Nicole Kidman did invite Tom Cruise to her wedding


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:

The 39-year-old star apparently invited Tom and present squeeze Katie Holmes – who have a daughter Suri - to the wedding in her native Sydney, Australia.

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 Oscar-winning actress, who is rarely seen in anything revealing, was photographed in a turquoise and white bikini showing off an amazingly toned abdomen, putting to rest any rumours she was pregnant.

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: Secretly Married?!


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.

Nicole did not have a miscarriage right before the wedding


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:

A heartbreaking miscarriage secret tormented Nicole Kidman even as she immersed herself in the joy of her wedding to Keith Urban, the Enquirer has learned exclusively.

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.”

(From The National Enquirer print version)

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]

High Res photos from Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s wedding


Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were married in a candlelit Catholic ceremony in Sydney on Sunday:

The all-candlelight ceremony took place just after sundown Sunday night at Sydney, Australia’s Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on St. Patrick’s Estate at Manly.

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’s sensible pre-nup; Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney again?


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:

Kidman, who’s worth about $150 million, has had her hubby-to-be ink a lowball prenup that guarantees him a kiss-off of just over $600,000 a year for every year they are together, according to press reports in Australia and England. In addition, there’s a clause that allows her to bail without giving Urban, an ex-cocaine addict, a cent if he uses illegal narcotics or boozes excessively.

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 and Keith Urban to be married this weekend


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:

NICOLE KIDMAN’s children ISABELLA and CONNOR have arrived in Australia for the actress’ wedding to KEITH URBAN, without their father TOM CRUISE.

Isabella, aged 13 and 11-year-old Connor arrived at Kidman’s Sydney Harbour mansion with their grandmother JANELLE after flying in on a private jet from Tokyo, where they had been on a publicity tour with their dad.

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.

Kidman is shown at the Shanghai International Film Festival and an Omega watches promotional event in China on June 17th. [via]
