Did Taylor Swift crash a Kennedy wedding and refuse to leave when asked?

I feel like an idiot for missing this story earlier this week, but better late than never, I guess. I apologize for not seeing it! Taylor Swift is cray, obviously, and I mentioned yesterday that Swifty managed to finagle her way into a Kennedy wedding over the weekend. What I didn’t mention – but several commenters discussed – was that Swifty was asked REPEATEDLY to leave the wedding, and that she and Conor Kennedy basically crashed the wedding. Some details:

Taylor Swift crashed the Kennedy wedding in Boston over the weekend and did not leave after being twice asked to do so, the mother of the bride, Victoria Gifford Kennedy, told the Track yesterday. But Swift’s publicist insisted that the country superstar was a welcome guest and that the bride was happy to have her share the spotlight.

A source at the hotel reported seeing Swift being asked to leave the Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel where Kyle Kennedy, the daughter of the late Michael Kennedy and Victoria Gifford Kennedy, was celebrating her marriage to Liam Kerr on Saturday. So we rang up Vicki for the 411.

“They texted me an hour before the wedding and asked if they could come,” Vicki Kennedy said. “I responded with a very clear, ‘Please do not come.’ They came anyway. … I personally went up to Ms. Swift, whose entrance distracted the entire event, politely introduced myself to her, and asked her as nicely as I could to leave. It was like talking to a ghost. She seemed to look right past me.”

But Swift’s spokeswoman Paula Erikson insisted it was not true.

“There is no truth to that,” she said. “Taylor was invited to the wedding and the bride thanked her profusely for being there.”

According to Vicki, Conor was invited to the wedding, but he never RSVP’d. When she got a text asking if he and his new girlfriend could come to the reception, the mother of the bride declined, because she didn’t want the country superstar to detract from her daughter’s big day.

But Swift and Conor showed up at the hotel and the singer’s appearance caused a mild commotion in the lobby with fans asking for pictures and autographs. Vicki said the duo left the reception during the dinner — and indeed pictures of Taylor walking through Haymarket in her wedding outfit were posted on Twitter and the singer was spotted in the North End. But, Vicki said, they returned after the meal and spent the rest of the night dancing at the reception.

As you know, Taylor, 22, and Conor, 18, — who is going to be a junior at Deerfield Academy in the fall — have been dating for most of the summer. According to The Associated Press, the Grammy winner, Conor and several other members of the Kennedy clan, made a visit to the grave of Conor’s mother, Mary Richardson, in Hyannis the other day. Swift held hands with Conor, consoled him, and the group at one point bowed their heads in prayer, according to the report.

Conor’s 52-year-old mother hanged herself May 16 in a barn behind the couple’s home in Bedford, N.Y., amid bitter divorce proceedings and a battle with depression and addiction. Reports say Swift is helping Conor deal with the tragedy.

[From The Boston Herald]

Some people are blaming Swifty. Some people are blaming Conor. You know what? They’re both to blame. It doesn’t make either of them look good, and if I had been that bride, I would have pitched an unqualified fit. Why would a famous person – any given celebrity, just name one – crash a stranger’s wedding? The average bride would be totally pissed that the celebrity is hijacking her special day, and while I think Swifty’s denial is funny (“Taylor was invited to the wedding and the bride thanked her profusely for being there”), I’d be interested in hearing that from the actual bride, you know? RUDE. As for the discrepancies in just what year Conor Kennedy is – junior or senior – we still don’t know. CB thinks Team Swifty is saying he’s a junior, but the Boston Herald probably has more credibility.

Oh, and Us Weekly has a story about Swifty’s romance too – I tend to put a lot of stock into Us Weekly’s Swifty overall coverage, because Swifty pretty much called up Us Weekly’s editors and told them everything from her side of the Jake Gyllenhaal relationship and breakup. Anyway, a “source” tells Us Weekly that Swifty “is not bothered” by the fact that Conor will only be starting his senior year of high school in September. Swifty thinks Conor is “a smart, sensitive guy… She says it’s a fantasy come true.” Because she’s had fantasies about becoming the next unhappy Kennedy wife, I guess. Another friend tells Us Weekly, “She’s always rushing into love. We all wonder why she can’t take it slow.” Cough. Another terrible, negative person says, “She has a habit of smothering guys and pushing them away.” OMG, you mean Swifty is NOT the second coming of Jackie Kennedy. Color me shocked.

As for how Conor’s mom recently died and how Conor is in charge of his late mother’s estate, a Swifty insider says, “Taylor’s been counseling him. He’s taking over Mary’s estate and she can relate. She oversees everything in her life. They’re so similar.” LIKE OMG Your mom just died and you’re in charge of her estate that’s so funny because I write checks for my bills OMG we should get married.

Did Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel have a secret wedding in Wyoming?

There are rumors that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake got married in Wyoming this past weekend. I don’t think the rumors have any substance, but I’m just here to provide the gossip. Allegedly, Jessica finished up her (horrible!) Total Recall publicity tour and jetted home to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where her groom was waiting for her at a private estate. Does this sound possible? The original source seems to be… Janet Carlton. Not the most reliable, basically.

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have reportedly got married in a secret ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The pair, who got engaged there last year, are believed to have said ‘I do’ on Saturday at a private estate. Hollywood gossip columnist Janet Charlton said the pair ‘pulled a fast one’.

She wrote on her blog on Friday: ‘A source just told us that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are getting married in Jackson Hole, Wyoming as we write this! They pulled a fast one on everybody! They are in the middle of their ceremony at a very fancy private estate and members of the wedding party are staying at the Four Seasons Hotel there.’

However, she added on Saturday: ‘Last night turned out to be the rehearsal dinner and the wedding is actually today.’

It was rumoured several months ago that the pair would wed in Wyoming, and celebrity wedding cake designer Sylvia Weinstock did little to quell the rumours, writing on Twitter that she was in the area over the weekend.

She wrote: ‘America is a beautiful country Jackson hole a marvel (sic).’

Pinkisthenewblog.com also claimed that a ranch owned by one of Timberlake’s friends has had a stage constructed for the past two weeks.

The wedding reports come after Biel recently insisted they had no time to plan her big day – saying: ‘It’s very exciting but it’s hard to find the time for it! But it’s a good moment just to enjoy it. I have no idea of what I want. I am one of those people who are not very detailed orientated. I don’t feel like I’m one of those people who is like, ‘This has to be done this way.’ I’m more of a big idea person. I will probably give an idea and let it be created. I feel like most of my friends, bless them, always go through some sort of something – one day of ‘bridezilla’. Maybe it’s just part of the experience.’

The Total Recall beauty began dating Timberlake in 2007, before briefly splitting early 2011. However, by the end of the year he proposed to her in the Jackson mountains, Wyoming. Representatives of the pair have yet to respond to MailOnline about the wedding speculation.

[From The Mail]

Now, while I think it’s possible that Jessica Biel has very little to do with the wedding planning (let’s face it, it’s ALL Justin), I just don’t see her rushing to get to her wedding at the last minute, right on the heels of her Total Recall publicity tour. Plus, I kind of believed her when she said in interview after interview that she was just enjoying the engagement, and that she and Justin hadn’t made a firm wedding date. Who knows though? They’re such a strange couple, maybe they did it like this.

Here are some more photos of Biel in that completely terrible Giambattista Valli dress last week in London. You know, Valli is said to be one of the major contenders to design Biel’s wedding gown. Could this monstrosity have been a dry-run? LOL. What if Biel gets married in a feathered peplum and oddly-sleeved and collared mess?

Are Brad Pitt & Angelina getting married this weekend at their French chateau?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might be getting married this weekend at their French chateau. Maybe. Possibly. Allegedly. This, according to UK and French tabloids, which… you know what? I just don’t see how the UK tabloid The Sun is any more or less reliable than In Touch Weekly or Star Magazine. All of those publications – The Sun, ITW, Star – are on the same level of credibility to me. Meaning that they sometimes get some stuff right, but you should always treat the information with skepticism. So, what are the chances this wedding news is for real this time? Let’s game it. First of all, both Brad and Angelina have been working in England – Angelina on Maleficent and Brad on The Counselor. Would they drop everything to fly to France for a quickie wedding? Eh. But… the tabloids are saying that Brad’s parents have already flown in to France.

BRAD Pitt and Angelina Jolie have sparked fevered wedding speculation by hosting a family bash at their French home this weekend.

Guests already at the chateau include Brad’s mum Jane and dad Bill — and top jeweller Robert Procop, who made Angelina’s engagement ring.

The bash is said to be for Jane and Bill’s 50th wedding anniversary — but locals think otherwise and claim there is a “real buzz” there.

A source said: “Brad flew in to oversee preparations but they’re all here now. They say it’s for Jane and Bill, but some think this could be it. Even Angelina’s private jeweller is here.”

The couple, who met on the set of hit film Mr and Mrs Smith in 2005 and have six kids, announced their engagement in April.

Their plan was always for a small ceremony at their Chateau Miraval home in the south of France. Brad, 48, recently bought Angelina, 37, a £250,000 watch as a pre-wedding gift.

Their guest list, said to be no more than 20, would include actor George Clooney, 51, who’s yet to arrive. A source said: “George and Brad are best pals, there’s no way he’d miss it.

“He’s at his house in Italy, but could fly to Marseille in an hour. There’s a real buzz around the estate.”

[From The Sun]

In Touch Weekly and The Enquirer were both ahead of this whole “Brangelina will marry on his parents’ anniversary, it will be a double wedding” idea. But In Touch also claimed that Angelina had shut it down in the wake of Jane Pitt’s anti-Obama letter to the editor. I also believe that Brad wouldn’t want to pull focus from his parents’ anniversary celebration by making it all about his wedding, you know? Plus, why would Angelina and Brad want to share the proverbial stage with Brad’s parents? The whole “getting married on your parents’ anniversary” storyline has just seemed odd to me from the start. But hey, it may happen. Weirder stuff has gone down in the Brangelina World. If they do get hitched, I hope we get some photos.

Natalie Portman served vegan food at her wedding, didn’t even have a cake

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied got married in Big Sur on Saturday. Apparently, it was a pretty traditional Jewish wedding, although some of you took issue with Natalie for being a “cafeteria Jew” (like cafeteria Catholic, I suppose), picking and choosing what she believed in as far as her Jewish faith. What I found surprising were the little things – I didn’t know Jewish weddings could go down on the Sabbath. I didn’t know you could have a traditional Jewish wedding outside of the temple. And I thought traditional Jewish brides had to be more covered up than Natalie was – The Mail has some photos of Natalie in her Rodarte wedding gown, and you can see them here. Her arms are covered (in transparent white), but the dress is a tea-length A-line. Is that allowed?! Besides all of that, Natalie’s wedding sounds okay. The only food was vegan, though. Ugh.

The wedding between Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied reflected not just the bride’s Jewish faith and the groom’s French nationality, but also the couple’s outlook on the world.

Instead of having flowers flown in, the ceremony featured wildflowers indigenous to the Big Sur coast where the ceremony took place, and instead of “fish or steak” the menu was strictly vegan in keeping with the bride’s diet.

Portman, 31, chose a traditional white gown from Rodarte, the same house that made the purple dress that Portman wore to the 2010 Oscars, and wore a crown of white wildflowers in her hair. The groom, 35, wore a midnight blue tux.

The 45-minute ceremony, said to be designed and coordinated by LA-based wedding planers Yifat Oren and Stefanie Cove, took place on a bluff overlooking the ocean and under a rustic Jewish chuppah made of twigs. They were surrounded by family (including 14-month-old son Aleph and friends, including Ivanka Trump and Macaulay Culkin,

During the ceremony, the couple were wrapped in a tallits, a Jewish prayer shawl, and in keeping with custom, things ended with Millepied smashing a glass to shouts of “Mazel Tov!”

The reception was held under a tent at a private residence, and featured a Klezmer band. The newly married couple kicked the dancing off with a 20-minute hora dance before being lifted up in chairs by guests.

Eschewing the traditional wedding cake, the couple opted for French macaroons.

When things wrapped up around 2 a.m., the approximately 100 guests took home packets of wildflower seeds as party favors. The packets were inscribed with a single word: “Merci.”

[From People]

Aw, I like that they did the breaking of the glass (update by CB: it’s symbolic of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70AD). And they danced the hora! YAY. Thoughts on the lack of a wedding cake? Thoughts on the macaroons and the “gift” of wildflower seeds? Eh. I don’t have an issue with macaroons… but she should have had a cake as well! Why even get married if you’re not going to have a wedding cake? That’s, like, one of the few reasons to get married. THE CAKE.

Let’s see, other details… a source told In Touch Weekly, “Her dress was stunning, not overly showy or revealing. Very much her own subtle and pretty personal style – she always has a hippie theme, whatever she does.” Um, really? Natalie is a hippie? When did that happen? Some of the guests: Diane Sawyer and her husband Mike Nichols (Nichols directed Portman in Closer), Ivanka Trump, Macaulay Culkin and Rashida Jones. Which sounds like the guest list was chosen by picking named out of a hat. I wonder if any of Benjamin’s ballet friends were even invited? Hm.

Natalie Portman & Benjamin Millepied were married in a traditional Jewish ceremony

I’m writing this because I just can’t watch any more of the Roger Federer-Andy Murray gold medal match, which should be over at any moment because Federer is just… my God, what is happening to Federer? He beat Murray at Wimbledon just a few weeks ago and now Federer is just playing like… GAH. Is it simply that everyone in Britain is just Team Murray? Anyway… Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millpied have gotten married. It’s surprising because there have been rumors floating around for more than a year that Benjamin and Natalie were already married in a quiet, secretive ceremony before she even gave birth to baby Aleph last year. So… I guess this is official now.

Mazel tov! Six months after very quietly debuting wedding bands at the 2012 Oscars, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied exchanged marital vows in a Jewish ceremony at a private home near Big Sur, Calif., Us Weekly can exclusively confirm. The 8pm wedding took place beneath a chuppah–and in the dark! No other details were immediately available.

The Oscar-winning actress, 31, and French-born dancer-choreographer Millepied, 35, are parents to a 13-month-old son, Aleph.

After meeting on the set of 2010′s Black Swan (Millepied was choreographer and had a small role in the film that won Portman a Best Actress Oscar), the stunning couple announced their engagement and pregnancy in December 2010. (A set source told Us it was “seductive to watch” to couple fall fall for one another . . . There was no way the attraction could be missed.)

During her acceptance speech in February 2011, an emotional Portman called Millepied “my beautiful love,” and thanked him for giving her “the most important role of my life [motherhood].” Aleph was born that June.

The couple returned to the Academy Awards in February of this year and, amidst affectionate red carpet shots together, sported apparent wedding bands. Although the resolutely private couple wouldn’t comment, jeweler Jamie Wolf confirmed to Us: “I designed the rings worn by Benjamin Millepied and Natalie Portman . . . They were made with recycled platinum and conflict free diamonds.”

[From Us Weekly]

I love Jewish weddings. I think the traditions are so lovely. I would love to have a wedding with a chuppah and the wine and breaking of the glass and all of that. As for Natalie and Benjamin… it sounds nice. It sounds like they went pretty traditional – her traditions. Because I have no idea what Benjamin is, religion-wise. It’s interesting that there’s still so much confusion as to whether they actually had some kind of wedding ceremony last year too – they might have, you know. This could have been like they’re “real wedding” after a quickie wedding last year.

UPDATE:… And Andy Murrary just won, by the way. Congrats to Andy Murrary, Olympic Gold Medalist.

UPDATE: People Mag confirms – Natalie and Benjamin were married yesterday. I didn’t think you were allowed to have a traditional Jewish wedding on the Sabbath, but apparently it’s allowed. Oh, and Ivanka Trump was at the wedding. WTF?

Bride serenades groom at wedding: uncomfortable & weird or sweet?


You’ve probably already seen this video over at D-Listed, which is where I first encountered it, but I just couldn’t resist talking about it. As Michael K mentioned, it’s like a scene from “Glee” except it’s real life and it makes you kind of cringe. A bride walks down the aisle in church toward her fiance and belts out Christina Aguilera’s “The Right Man.” She can really sing, and it begs the question: Is this for real or did someone just stage this video to go viral? There are people in the church, but the bride’s side (that’s the left when you first walk in, right?) is almost empty and the whole video is just really slick. Well Inside Edition got an interview with the happy couple, and the bride actually doesn’t seem like an unhinged Jessica Biel lookalike, she comes across as sweet and genuine. The couple lives outside of Cincinnati, and they seem like happy newlyweds, in the less than a minute interview that is. Their video interview is below, and here’s their background story:

You’ve never seen a wedding video like the one in which a bride serenades her groom as she walks down the aisle.

The video is burning up the internet, Now everyone’s asking—can this be real?

“They’re actors,” said some viewers, “No way she’s a real bride.”

It’s real alright, and she spoke exclusively with INSIDE EDITION.

“I wanted him to know how much I loved him, and how perfect he is to me. I thought the best way to do that would be to sing to him as I walked down the aisle,” said Carr.

INSIDE EDITION caught up with Marie Carr and her husband, Devin, at their home outside Cincinnati.

Carr’s dad died when she was a teenager, so she had no one to walk her down the aisle. She decided to go it alone, and belt out a Christina Aguilera love song as she went.

“It was so hard to keep it together, but it was so easy to walk towards the love of my life,” Carr told INSIDE EDITION.

Devin was blown away, saying, “It was amazing. I couldn’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.”

[From Inside Edition]

The Stir has more on the groom, and he almost died when he was a kid. He “faced tragedy when he was hit by a pickup truck at the age of 12 and spent a month in a coma, suffered brain trauma and wasn’t expected to survive. But he re-learned to walk and talk and now volunteers to help children who have suffered similar brain injuries.” The Cincinnati Children’s Hospital website has a whole interview with the groom and his mom, and it’s legit, it’s not just some clever way to sell the singing video.

So does this make me a total bitch for previously thinking this chick was crazy for doing this? She lost her dad and didn’t have anyone to walk her down the aisle, her husband is a great guy who overcame tragedy, they have a whole background story and they’re so in looove. Was it sexist of me to find it weird for a bride to sing to her soon-to-be husband? Probably, but I already knew I was a bitch. Plus she was performing like she was on Idol. It seemed so staged.

Was Miley Cyrus tweet-alluding to having her wedding this weekend?

These are some photos of Miley Cyrus flaunting her Pilates body over the past week. As you can see, the booty shorts are here to stay, as are the belly shirts and general vibe of “teenage mall girl”. It helps, I suppose, that Miley pretty much IS a teenage mall girl. It also helps that her body is incredible, although I would love to see her class up her casual wear so we’re not constantly looking at her booty shorts and abs. Anyway, there’s a rumor going around that Miley and Liam Hemsworth are going to get hitched this weekend. It’s not true (I don’t think) but I just thought I’d pass it along:

It’s been less than a month since Liam Hemsworth popped the question to Miley Cyrus with a 3.5-carat diamond stunner from jeweler Neil Lane. But is Cyrus, 19, already ready to swap out her latest belly-baring ensembles(and summer-ready swimwear) for something a little more dressy – like a wedding gown? Perhaps, the bride-to-be hints on Twitter, as she addresses some big plans for next weekend.

“Super lazy Sunday!” she Tweeted. “Can’t wait for next week! It’ll be filled with happiness.”

Cyrus didn’t say whether she plans on tying the knot in the next few days, which leaves the source of her “happiness” up for discussion (much like the style of her wedding dress).

Hemsworth’s rep, however, denied that he and Cyrus were planning to tie the knot this week, telling Gossip Cop that the Aussie is busy filming his new movie in New Orleans and is only “back in L.A. for a night next week to receive an award from Australians in Film on the 27th.”

Perhaps Cyrus is getting a head start on her Independence Day festivities with a “Party in the U.S.A”-worthy celebration. Or is she just planning some quality time with one of her rescue pups, aptly named Happy?

“Life is to short, stop compromising your happiness,” added Cyrus, who told PEOPLE she was ready for “a life of happiness” when she announced her engagement. “Happiness is a right, a privilege that you deserve.”

[From People]

Yeah. I don’t know what Miley was referencing with her “Can’t wait for next week” comment, but I doubt it was about a quickie wedding. Most sources close to Miley claim that she hasn’t begun to plan the wedding, and that her family hopes this will be a long engagement. I actually believe that – I think when Miley and Liam do go through with it, they will have put some time and thought into their wedding, and it will be super-fancy and not what people expect.

Meanwhile, Liam continues to work in New Orleans, and Miley has only been to NOLA a few times to visit him, in between a vacation to Miami and her Pilates classes in LA. People Magazine also notes that Miley was partying at Beacher’s Madhouse inside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel last night with some of her girlfriends. According to sources, “Miley spent most of the night dancing…. She threw her hands in the air when the deejay started playing Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love,’ she was very chatty and was in a great mood. At around 12:15 a.m., she pulled her girlfriend into the photo booth to take pictures together.” Any thoughts on a 19-year-old partying with her girlfriends at the Roosevelt? Eh. It sounds like a nice night for her. She could be doing a lot worse, you know?

Is Halle Berry planning a dream destination wedding in South Africa?


As you know, Halle Berry, 45, is engaged again, to fellow actor Olivier Martinez, 46. This will be Halle’s third marriage and Olivier’s first. Halle previously swore off every getting married again, but when she confirmed her engagement she kind of took it all back, saying “never say never, people!” Well along with Halle’s engagement come rumors about what kind of wedding she’s planning. Star Magazine claims she’s going to have a dream wedding in South Africa, which is essentially where she “met” Olivier because they fell in love while filming there. Star claims that, unlike Halle’s previous kind of slapdash weddings, she’s going to go all out for this one. I could see this happening, but I’m still not sure that Star has any insider information. Given what we know about Halle, can’t you see her having a huge wedding and selling the photos to People Magazine? I can imagine just that. Here’s Star’s story:

“The wedding’s going to be in Cape Town, because that’s where they met and fell in love,” an insider tells Star, referring to the set of the film Dark Tide in 2010. “They want to have the ceremony and reception on a huge yacht in False Bay. they’re finalizing a lot of the details now, like who’s going to design the dress.” (Roberto Cavalli is said to be at the top of her list.) Robert Mazlo, the jeweler who designed their engagement ring, is also working with Halle on the wedding bands. And there will be tons of orchids and purple peonies, Halle’s favorite flowers. Olivier also wants African singers and dancers, and the cuisine will most likely be Moroccon, which is a favorite of theirs…

Halle, who was wed to former baseball player David Justice, whom she accused of domestic violence, and singer Eric Benet, who was a notorious cheater, never had a proper wedding before. “Her first wedding in her Atlanta home included five guests, and she wore a cocktail dress; her second, on the beach in Santa Barbara, had only two guests, and she wore a simple shift,” says the source.

“This time around, both of them want all their friends and family to be a part of it.”

So how do the couple plan on topping off their dream wedding? A dream honeymoon, naturally. After the festivities, the two will set sail on Olivier’s private yacht and tour the Mediterranean Sea. “Olivier loves to sail,” says the source. “He’s so excited to show Halle his favorite places.”

The next step for the duo is to talk about granting Nahla’s recent wish for a little sister. “Olivier doesn’t have any children, and he desperately hopes it’s not too late for them to have a baby together,” says the insider. “Halle wants it to happen too!”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, July 2, 2012]

Halle sounds like she’s been trying to convince the world, and herself, that this one is “different,” so I can believe this big destination wedding story. It sounds a bit far-fetched but who knows really. She hates the paparazzi (when she doesn’t call them) so maybe a far away wedding is just what she wants to make sure that no unauthorized photos are taken. So that she can cash in and make sure she has final photo approval.

As for the part of the story where they’re supposedly trying to have another baby, can you imagine? Halle will get caught up in another custody battle where it’s all her ex partner’s fault. She’s better off just marrying him.

Halle and Olivier are shown shopping on 5-26 and out on the beach on 5-5-12. Credit: Fame/Flynet and PacificCoastNews.com

Aaron Johnson (22) and Sam Taylor-Wood (44) got married last week

I knew something was up when Focus Features sent us some promotional stuff for Anna Karenina and they listed Aaron Johnson’s name as “Aaron Taylor-Johnson”. Focus Features had the name change in a hurry, because at the same time the Anna Karenina trailer was getting a big PR push, Aaron and his baby-mama announced that they had gotten married. It happened last Thursday. And both changed their named – he is now Aaron Taylor-Johnson (I wonder if he’s officially changing his SAG name too?) and she became Sam Taylor-Johnson. They are the Taylor-Johnsons. I don’t know… I think that’s kind of wonderful and feminist. I like when the rare dude changes HIS name too.

But I guess I should say something about the age difference and all of that. Aaron and Sam got together when she was 40 years old and he was 18 years old. By the time he was 19, she was pregnant and they were engaged. She had two baby girls in a row – first Wylda Rae (she turns 2 next month) and then Romy, who is just 5 months old. Aaron is now 22. Sam is 44. And now they are legally wed.

Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson have taken their romance to the next level.

The couple, who have been together since meeting on the set of Taylor-Wood’s directorial debut Nowhere Boy and got engaged in October 2009, were married on Thursday in Somerset, England, they confirm to the Associated Press.

Taylor-Wood wore a dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, while Johnson wore a suit by Tom Ford. Both husband and wife will now use the surname Taylor-Johnson.

Johnson, 22, who starred in Kick-Ass and will next appear in Anna Karenina, and Taylor-Wood, 45, are parents to two daughters together – Romy, 5 months, and Wylda, 2 next month.

Of their age difference, Johnson has said, “I’m an old soul and she’s a young soul. We don’t see an age gap, we just see each other.”

This is the second marriage for the director, who also has two daughters with ex-husband Jay Jopling.

[From People]

Yeah. I mean, I’m happy for them. I’m glad they’re still together, because usually when an 18 year old and a 40 year old get together, it doesn’t last – regardless of which gender is 40. Sam’s oldest children are closer in age to Aaron than she is. But… whatever. Hopefully, they’ll be the exception to the rule. And maybe Sam just thinks, “Hey, even if this only lasts for five years, it will be an amazing five years.”

What bugs me is that she seems to be putting an enormous amount of psychological pressure on this kid. Last year, she said in an interview, “Aaron, almost before anything started between us, said he wanted kids. He was very clear about wanting a family. We hardly go out now – it’s just us. Aaron has brought a set of values I didn’t even know I was looking for – family values. He is more grounded. He has been getting work offers which he has turned down because he wants to be here for the crucial first months of Wylda’s life.” THAT is pressure. Yes, it’s cool that he’s taking responsibility and maybe he was the one to talk Sam into having those babies… but he was 18 years old, for God’s sake!!! What you do and say when you’re 18 years old should not define who are for the rest of your life. But good luck. Mazel tov!

Matthew McConaughey & Camila’s wedding covers People Mag: sweet or awful?

As predicted, People Magazine has the exclusive photos from Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves’s weekend wedding. First thoughts, in no particular order:

1. OMG Matthew’s hairline is even worse in profile.
2. Camila’s dress is pretty, although it seems kind of fussy for a down-home Texas wedding.
3. Camila is taking style tips from Cleopatra Keys, right? And Kim Kardashian! Why is forehead jewelry – for your WEDDING, no less – such a “thing” these days?
4. Why is Matthew pointing at Camila’s chin? It looks like he’s about pick something out of her teeth.

Anyway, it’s cute. Matthew reported wore a D&G tux (he’s the face of D&G’s cologne), and I like Camila’s wedding dress more than that Chanel monstrosity that Drew Barrymore wore. Apparently, Camila’s dress was handmade by her “favorite Brazilian designer”. Here’s more from People Magazine:

How’s this for wedded bliss? Matthew McConaughey and his bride Camila Alves are the portrait of happiness in photos from their June 9 at-home wedding in Austin, Texas.

“We decided to embrace the ritual of marriage as an opportunity and adventure we’ll take together,” McConaughey, 42, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story, which features exclusive photos and details from the couple’s big day.

The pair welcomed around 120 guests – including Reese Witherspoon, Kenny Chesney and Woody Harrelson – for a three-day extravaganza of summer fun surrounding the nuptials.

The ceremony was especially meaningful for the pair’s children, Levi, who turns 4 in July, and Vida, 2½, who served as ring bearer and flower girl at the Catholic ceremony.

Says Camila, 29: “Somehow they both seem to understand what we are doing on a spiritual level.”

For Matthew and Camila’s exclusive wedding album – from the bride’s hand-stitched (and blessed!) dress to the couple’s dance floor moves – pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Oh, it was a Catholic ceremony? I would imagine that’s all Camila – or was Matthew raised in the church too? No idea. Anyway, it’s all very nice. I would have chosen a full-frontal view for the cover, but maybe that’s because I’m still recovering from Matthew’s hairline and dinosaur arm looking like he’s about to jab Camila in the face.
