Ivana Trump called 911 on her young husband three weeks before their wedding

ivanarossano.jpg
59 year old Ivana trump married her fourth husband, Italian actor/model Rossano Rubicondi, 35, in an over-the-top ceremony at her second husband Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate in Palm Beach on Saturday. They held their reception in the same ballroom where Trump married his third wife Melania in 2005.

Among the 500 guests were Kathy and Rick Hilton, Robin Leach, George Hamilton, and Brigitte Nielsen. The theme from Rocky played as the young groom entered the ceremony, and Neil Sedaka sang at the reception.

People promises to have the exclusive photos in their next issue, but OK! reminds us that Trump and her much younger husband don’t have the calm and romantic relationship their garish nuptials might lead you to believe.

Ivana and Rossano both called 911 on each other on March 17 after an argument. Rossano called first, and police came to Ivana’s Palm Beach home, searched and left. Ivana called 911 again two hours later, saying “What’s going on is that I have a boyfriend which [sic] I want to leave my home and he called the police before and he’s abusive.”

No one was arrested, and Rossano was cuffed and released. The NY Post reported this story at the end of March, and quoted a source as saying that “They’ve been fighting ever since they met each other, and the only reason anyone can imagine for why they are getting married is for the publicity.” The Post also noted at the time that OK! Magazine had brokered an exclusive $1 million deal for the wedding photos, but obviously that fell through and People must have outbid them.

Now we know why OK! is so quick to remind us that this marriage is probably doomed.

Ivana and Rossano are shown out to dinner on Valentine’s Day in NY, thanks to Splash News.

Beyonce and Jay-Z are married probably

Beyonce and Jay-Z in 2006
Beyonce and Jay-Z are married, according to a source quoted in People Magazine. There was some speculation that these two weren’t getting married and were just having a party, but if it wasn’t a wedding they sure went to a lot of trouble and expense, including taking out a marriage license on April Fool’s day. Here are the details that are known so far, thanks to People, E! Online, In Touch, and OK!

  • The wedding is said to have taken place at Jay-Z’s Tribeca penthouse apartment last night.

  • Guests included Beyonce’s mother and father, her sister, Solange, and her former Destiny’s Child band members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, who posted a goofy youtube video yesterday that lent some credence to the “wedding hoax” rumors.

  • George Clooney, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Chris Martin were also in attendance. (George’s attendance was reported by E! Online’s The Hum, who note that he was at the right time and place to suggest he was also going to the wedding.)

  • Candelabras, long white candles and white orchids were seen being delivered at lunchtime. People reports that from 50,000 to 60,000 white orchids were imported from Thailand.

  • A cake was delivered around 3 p.m., it is described by E! as “a large white cake box that was a couple of feet wide and a couple of feet deep.”

  • A white tent was erected on the roof of Jay-Z’s apartment.

  • Guests were instructed to wear white.

  • Guests started arriving at 7:00 pm and the party lasted well into the early morning, with guests only starting to leave at 2:00 am.

  • The roman numeral IV was a theme of the night, as both Beyonce and Jay-Z’s birthdays fall on the fourth. Jay-Z’s birthday is 12/4/69 and Beyonce’s is 9/4/81. They have matching ring finger tattoos of the numeral IV that they reportedly had done in France on 12/4/07. Jay-Z’s chain of clubs is called 40/40. The date yesterday was 4/4/08.

  • Guests were told not to bring in cell phones and surrendered their phones to their drivers.

  • DJ Cassidy provided the music for the evening.

  • Jay-Z moved into the building last week, and a resident says he was warned that there was going to be “a large party on the roof” Friday night.

  • In Touch says that Beyonce and Jay-Z are planning a second wedding in France on May 4.

  • Jay-Z is on tour with Mary J. Blige and has concerts scheduled in Greensboro, NC and Washington, DC this weekend. His North American tour does not wrap until May 8, so it may be some time before these two can go on a honeymoon. That may also make the rumored second wedding in France difficult.

There is no official confirmation yet from anyone, but it seems like it’s just a matter of time. Good for Beyonce and Jay-Z for marrying sort-of under the radar while managing to have a party for their friends that was virtually press free. We’ll have to see if any wedding photos come out and if that story that Beyonce’s dad was trying to broker a deal for exclusive pictures was true.

Here’s a video of Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Chris Martin arriving at the wedding. Gwyneth covers her face with her hand while Martin hunkers down, and the paparazzi surround and follow them like zombies hungry for brains. Thanks to OK! for posting this.

Are Jay-Z and Beyonce getting married today? (Update)

There are reports all over Manhattan that Beyonce and Jay-Z may be tying the knot today. A party of some sort is definitely happening at Jay-Z’s apartment – though it could be to celebrate his recent $150 million deal with Live Nation. Evidence includes a white tent that’s been set up on the roof of the building, flowers and candelabras that have been delivered (some left out on the curb, letting People magazine get quite the snapshot), and AV equipment delivery. Several of the couple’s friends are in the city, including Beyonce’s former Destiny’s Child band mates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland, who for some stupid reason mention in a YouTube video that they’re staying at the Four Seasons in Manhattan right now. Other famous friends in NYC are Jermaine Dupri, Kanye West , Diddy, and Pharrell Williams. But to be fair, it’s New York City, no podunk nowhere. It’s not exactly weird that a lot of celebrities are here this weekend.

Jay-Z is breaking out the bubbly at his place Friday night for a big celebration. The big question is whether it’s to mark his rumored wedding to Beyoncé Knowles, or his $150 million deal with Live Nation. “Jay has invited some close friends, including Diddy, to his apartment in New York,” a source told the Daily News. “He hasn’t said if it’s for his wedding.”

Several sources close to the families of Knowles, 26, and Jay-Z, 38, said they knew nothing about a ceremony. There have been several false marriage reports going back at least two years. That hasn’t stopped Beyoncé’s dad, Mathew Knowles, from stringing along at least one celebrity weekly with the offer of wedding pics for sale.

“Mathew first started talking about wedding photos on Monday,” a magazine insider told The News. “He said, ‘How much are you offering?’ There has been a back-and-forth since then, but he has not revealed the date. He is definitely talking about there being wedding pictures.”

[From the New York Daily News]

Well that’s classy. Always a good dad, and always a good manager, right? Supposedly the event will be attended by 30 guests. Which seems small for a wedding, but certainly happens – especially when you’re trying to keep things private. What does seem odd is that the guests were all told to wear ivory, according to VH1 and several other websites. I’m pretty sure that the number one etiquette rule for a wedding guest is not to wear white. In fact I think it’s one of the few rules people still pay attention to. And Beyonce doesn’t seem like the kind of girl to let anyone steal her thunder – certainly not on her wedding day. So although there’s a ton of evidence that Beyonce and Jay may be getting hitched today, that one little detail makes me think they might be pulling one over on us.

Here’s a photo of the tent erected atop of Jay-Z’s building today. Splash notes: “Amid rumors of a wedding between Jay Z and Beyonce Knowles, a tent has been erected on the roof abutting jay Z’s apartment. According to US reports, behind the tent is an all-white interior.” Thanks to Splash for the image.

Update: Us Weekly is reporting that a reverend and his wife were seen entering Jay-Z’s building. I don’t pretend to have any idea how Us Weekly knows the guy is a reverend.

Jamie Lynn’s wedding plans

Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant and officially engaged, all at the tender young age of 17 (as of this Friday). The actress was spotted wearing an engagement ring a little over a week ago, and since then fiancé Casey Aldridge’s cousin (and a few of Jaime Lynn’s friends) have confirmed the impending nuptials. OK! claims to have several exclusives on Jaime Lynn’s wedding plans – though of course we have to wait until it’s on newsstands for all of the specifics.

OK says Jamie Lynn will wait until after the baby is born to marry Casey. Her friends speculate that she’ll want to set the date several months after the birth so that she can get her figure back in order to wear her perfect wedding dress. There’s also a bit of talk about her dream wedding – though something tells me that in Jamie Lynn’s dreams, her wedding was never supposed to happen quite so soon – and probably not with her new baby at the ceremony.

The Zoey 101 star is expecting her first baby in late June with boyfriend Casey Aldridge, and is happily riding out the last months of her pregnancy with Casey by her side. After announcing her pregnancy exclusively to OK! in December, Britney Spears’ little sis has been busy lying low in her hometown of Kentwood, La. As OK! was the first to report, Jamie Lynn and a cousin recently registered for her baby shower at a Babies ‘R’ Us store in the nearby city of Baton Rouge.

And those closest to Jamie Lynn tell OK! the teen plans to stay true to her small-town roots, most likely exchanging vows with Casey in Kentwood at “Serenity,” the estate owned by Britney — who obviously leads the list of possible bridesmaids. “She’ll have the baby there, and soon after, she will also get married there,” says a pal of the teen. “I expect she’ll want to wait at least several months to get her figure back so she can wear a beautiful wedding gown and then have her dream wedding.”

[From OK!]

You can’t help but worry for anyone who gets married at 17. And to be fair, you can’t help but worry for anyone who has a baby at 17. Putting the two together seems like a lot of pressure on such a young couple. They’re certainly better off financially than any other 17-year-old couple I’ve ever heard of, but money doesn’t equal maturity. Hopefully Jamie Lynn’s got a better head on her shoulders than some of her family members… or will at least hire a very, very qualified nanny.

Here’s Jamie Lynn showing off her engagement ring while running errands near her Louisiana home on April 1st. Images thanks to Splash.

Beyonce and Jay-Z get a NY marriage license

beyoncejayz.jpg
People reports that sources say that Beyonce and Jay-Z registered for a marriage license on Tuesday morning in Scarsdale, NY, which would give them 60 days to get married in the state under that license. Beyonce’s rep had no comment and there is no further information about it.

Singer Beyonce, 26, and rapper and media mogul Jay-Z, 38, have been together for over five years and this isn’t the first rumor that they were about to tie the knot. In early March there was a story that Beyonce and Jay-Z were out at Butter Nightclub in NY and that Beyonce stashed what looked like a giant diamond engagement ring in her purse when witnesses spotted it.

Back in January there was a rumor that these two were secretly married at Georgio Armani’s house in Paris over the Christmas holidays. They were each seen with matching ring finger tattoos around that time that seemed to signify some kind of commitment.

The NY Daily News reports that Jay-Z was seen meeting up with Beyonce’s younger sister, Solange, in Miami recently, with a source claiming the meeting was about asking her family for permission to marry.

If this is true congratulations to Jay-Z and Beyonce. It would also be nice if they got married in a low-key ceremony without a lot of guests or a huge party. Either way is great for them, but it would be a pleasantly surprise if they got married under the radar.

Did Brad & Angie get married on Saturday? (update)

brangelinafrance1.jpg

Rumors are swirling once again that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have gotten secretly married. As time goes on and their family increases exponentially, it’s hard to tell if that increases or decreases the likelihood that they’ll tie the knot. On the one hand, you’d think that having so many kids might make them yearn to cement things in a more traditional way. On the other hand, with each passing kid and each passing year that they DON’T do it, you could argue that they become firmer in their resolve to abstain from marriage. A slew of print and internet media sources are reporting that the two secretly wed in New Orleans on Saturday, despite Brad’s very public proclamation some years ago that he and Angie wouldn’t get married legally until everyone could get married legally.

Hollywood’s most powerful couple has made it official - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are married.

According to Star magazine’s website, the pair wed on Saturday in New Orleans. The couple have been together since 2005, when they co-starred in the actioner, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Angelina is pregnant with twins, and the two have four other children.

This would be Brad’s second time down the aisle, with his first to “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston ending in divorce. Angelina has been married twice previously, most recently to actor Billy Bob Thornton, and “Eli Stone” star Jonny Lee Miller in the late 1990s.

[From NY Daily News]

The Daily News felt confident enough in their story to boldly headline it “Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt are married.” The story was also picked up by OK!, X17, and PR Insider. If the pair have indeed married, it makes sense that they’d keep it under wraps. Angelina is said to be having a tough pregnancy this time around. She’s widely speculated to be carrying twins, which can’t be easy on her rather emaciated frame. Several media outlets are also reporting that she’s suffering from gestational diabetes, which affects about 2% of women during their pregnancies. Considering the pair’s earlier statements about marriage, coupled with Angelina’s health, it’s no surprise that they’d keep any wedding a secret as long as possible. If they did marry, congrats to them. And if not, at least we can keep on speculating.

Update by Celebitchy: People Magazine is reporting that it’s not true and that “a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE there was ‘no wedding’” and seems to say that they weren’t even in New Orleans this weekend when this was said to have taken place.

Jennifer Love Hewitt says she wants a small wedding


Jennifer Love Hewitt and her fiance, Ross McCall, are planning what they call an “intimate” ceremony for their upcoming wedding. Though Jennifer won’t give details about the date or location - probably to avoid the nasty comments of Internet bloggers who might make fun of her backside or something - she did say that she and Ross want something romantic but low-key.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is already plotting out her upcoming wedding to Scottish actor Ross McCall.

“You know Diana and Charles – it’s going to be a little like that!” she joked with Usmagazine.com at SBE’s The Abbey on Sunday.

Kidding aside, “it is going to be small and private and romantic and wonderful,” Hewitt, 29, told Us. “We have nothing picked out yet.”

“We are very low-key people,” McCall, 32, added. “If we kind of wake up and say, ‘Let’s go do it,’ that’s how we will do it.”

The actress — who met McCall on the set of her CBS show Ghost Whisperer — got engaged in November, around the time those controversial bikini photos of her surfaced.

“We fell in love,” she told Us of how she spent her downtime during the recent writers’ strike. “We had a lot of fun, did a lot of traveling.”

So was it love at first sight for the pair?

“Absolutely,” Hewitt told Us. “As soon as I saw him.”

[From Us Weekly]

I never thought much of Jennifer before Bikinigate, but she has really conducted herself with dignity, class and a sense of humor since then. I’m rooting for her to be able to pull off this wedding without too much privacy invasion, and for the marriage itself to work. That said, you will not catch me watching “The Ghost Whisperer.”

Note by Celebitchy: In honor of Hewitt’s upcoming nuptuals, here’s a link to our very first post of her out with Ross McCall on her 27th birthday almost two years ago. McCall is Scottish and I bet he has the cutest accent.

Sean Bean from Lord of the Rings marries in low-key ceremony


Lord of the Rings heartthrob Sean Bean, 48, married his fourth wife today, British actress Georgina Sutcliffe, 29, at the Marylebone Register Office in London. The wedding was a small civil ceremony that was witnessed by just 15 friends and family. The two were set to marry last month, but called it off just 24 hours before the ceremony.

Bean and Sutcliffe reportedly met a little over two years ago at a bar in London’s Soho where Sutcliffe was working. Bean has three daughters from previous marriages, Lorna and Molly, from his second marriage to actress Melanie Hill from 1990 to 1997, and Evie Natasha, from his third marriage to his Sharpe co-star Abigail Cruttenden that lasted from late 1997 until 2000. He was briefly linked with actress Sienna Miller in late summer of last year. [Most details from Wikipedia]

Thanks to PRPhotos for these pictures outside the courthouse today.

Victoria and David Beckham secretly renew their marriage vows

Victoria and David Beckham seem to have one of those rare celebrity marriage that appears to be pretty stable. Though the two have weathered a few storms (accusations have occasionally popped up regarding David’s possible cheating on Victoria) all and all they seem to be pretty solid. This could be because they have a lot in common – an intense passion for shopping and acquiring “stuff,” sticking their names on various perfumes, buying houses, and being seen at trendy events. I didn’t say it was a deep relationship. But it seems to work pretty well for them. The Mirror and The Daily Mail are reporting that their relationship is stronger than ever, and the pair secretly renewed their wedding vows.

David and Victoria Beckham have secretly retaken their marriage vows - and got matching tattoos to celebrate the romantic occasion. Only a handful of friends and family were invited to watch them remarry in the grounds of Beckingham Palace. One said: “We were in tears. It was beautiful and very non-showbiz.” The couple marked the big day by tattooing the ceremony date on their wrists in Roman numerals.

Romantic David Beckham arranged his secret second wedding to Victoria without even telling her - springing the surprise on the big day itself. He flew her to their sumptuous Beckingham Palace estate then went on one knee to pop the question for a second time. Stunned Posh gasped: “Yes!” - and the couple were soon retaking their vows attended by sons Brooklyn and Romeo as page boys and watched by a handful of close friends and family.

He organised the ceremony and secretly invited a handful of close friends and family. He even had a beautiful white dress made in Posh’s size. A friend said: “David was meticulously planning the big day for months. It was a huge undertaking to keep it all under wraps. He was desperately excited but had had to keep quiet with everyone but his and Victoria’s closest family.

[From The Mirror]

The Mirror reports that they took a second honeymoon together in Paris, and David took Victoria shopping at her two favorite stores, Azzedine Alaia and Colette. He told her to pick out whatever she wanted as a second-wedding gift. While that’s really sweet, I think what’s more special is all the work and thought David put into it. A guy planning a whole quasi-wedding ceremony on his own? And managing to keep it a secret from his wife? That’s a pretty big deal, and it sounds like Beckham put a lot of care and thought into trying to make it as special as possible.

A lot of people think it’s tacky to renew vows, since a couple already had a wedding and all. Frankly I think that - considering how many marriages end in divorce or fall into a state of unhappiness – there’s much worse things than celebrating your successful union, and loving your spouse so much that you want to do it all over again. It sounds like this was a very thoughtful tribute to their relationship and the life they’ve created together.

Did Britney & Adnan get married in Mexico?

starcover-164.jpg

Star magazine is reporting that Britney Spears secretly wed paparazzi boyfriend Adnan Ghalib last month during their brief trip to Mexico. Star claims the couple had the ceremony at Rosarito Beach, and have a source who has seen the wedding documents. While it sounds impossibly crazy, that doesn’t mean jack in the world of Britney Spears. In fact, the more impossibly crazy/totally ridiculous something sounds, the higher the likelihood that Britney Spears actually did it. Walked around a clothing store naked? Sounded crazy, turned out to be true. Held her own kid hostage? Sounded crazy, turned out to be true. Killed a turtle so she could wear its shell as a hat? Sounds crazy, but I bet we find out she’s done that too. So while it sounds totally and completely crazy to run off to Mexico and secretly get married, you never know.

Really, the only logical explanation for Britney Spears’ wild jaunt to Mexico last month was that she was going to get married, but it took Star magazine to connect the dots.

The glossy says she “secretly wed” lens-lizard Adnan Ghalib during the visit - which is legally meaningless, as he has not yet divorced his previous wife, AzLynn Berry.

Star ed Candace Trunzo tells me: “Our source on this was not in Rosarito Beach at the ceremony, but is very familiar with the fact that [wedding] documents exist.”

More interestingly, the mag says Spears gave Ghalib $250,000 to grease AzLynn’s exit. She allegedly told her lawyers, who had imposed a grand-a-day spending limit, that she needed the cash for a new Mercedes.

[From Gatecrasher]

Britney does have a bit of a history of getting married impulsively. There was the 55 hour marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander. Oh, and the wedding to K-Fed, when all the guests thought they were coming over for an engagement party. So running off to Mexico in a not-quite-entirely-thought-though plan to get married doesn’t seem beyond the realm of possibility for Britney Spears. AzLynn Ghalib finally filed for divorce from Adnan on January 18th, so there might be some truth to this story. Since the marriage isn’t legally binding, it wouldn’t matter a whole heck of a lot either way. But Britney Spears being in a marrying state of mind is never a good thing. Run, men, run and lock your doors!
