Who knew TomKat had so many friends?


I was kind of surprised by some of the celebs that turned out for the big wedding this past weekend. Turns out I wasn't the only one. TMZ takes a closer look:

Given that we thought the guest list at the Cruise-Holmes nuptials in Italy seemed more like a Fellini film, or an episode of "The Surreal Life" -- Marc Anthony? Jenny McCarthy? Jenna Elfman? -- we tried to break down exactly what some of these people were doing all the way over in Bracciano, so far away from home. It should make for some awkward moments during the dinner hour.

Several of the guests -- John Travolta, Elfman and her husband Bodhi, and Leah Remini -- are members of the Scientology tribe, so that makes sense. But what about J. Lo? It turns out that Lopez and Remini are close pals ... and remember that Remini was the first celeb to cop to a Suri sighting, so we know she's in the inner circle.

Now we're pretty sure that Jenny McCarthy and TomKat haven't worked together on anything recently, but J-Mac's squeeze, Jim Carrey, used to go out with Renee Zellweger, who, of course, was Cruise's co-star in "Jerry Maguire." No word from Carrey's rep on whether this rather tenuous connection is the precise reason for his attendance.

Perhaps J.Lo's husband Anthony said it best in a toast he reportedly gave last night in the bar at the wedding hotel in Rome: "To life, to the occasion, and to new friends." Or, as the case may be, complete strangers.

TomKat are official























In the most unsurprising news of the weekend, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes made it official over the weekend in Italy. Many celeb friends were of course in attendance. From A Socialite's Life:

There were fireworks inside, too, a "never-ending kiss" between the betrothed after they exchanged vows Saturday. The kiss lasted so long it caused guests to shout "stop, stop!" said Giorgio Armani, who attended the wedding and designed the outfits of the bride, the groom and their baby, Suri.

The couple flew out of Rome Sunday for a honeymoon in the Maldives, said Ciampino airport spokesman Adriano Franceschetti. The rest of the wedding party was due to fly to Los Angeles later in the day.

The ceremony was a lavish apex to perhaps the celebrity world's most closely watched relationship, proclaimed with Cruise's leap on Oprah Winfrey's couch, bestowed with the nickname "TomKat" and raised to a new level seven months ago when Holmes gave birth to their daughter.

The evening wedding was performed by a Scientology minister in front of more than 150 relatives and friends, the couple's publicists said.

Anna Nicole weds attorney Howard K. Stern


From StarMagazine:

Anna Nicole Smith married her long-time attorney and close confidante, Howard K. Stern, this morning just shortly before 10:30 am in Nassau, Bahamas. The wedding occurred only 18 days after the death of Anna's son Daniel, 20, from an accidental drug overdose in her Nassau hospital room on September 10.
In a world-exclusive report, an eyewitness tells Star that Anna, 38, and Howard, 37, tied the knot shortly before 10:30 am on the morning of September 28, while sailing on a white catamaran off of Nassau!
"There was heavy security around the yacht, plus extra speedboats to deliver more supplies as needed (including unlimited Dom Perignon champagne) from the mainland to the catamaran," says the eyewitness, who adds that the wedding party celebrated the union afterwards by having a swim party around the yacht — "and Anna was wearing a pink bikini! Later on, she changed into a colorful, one-piece suit with a wrap around her waist."

Two days before, on September 26, Stern appeared live on the Larry King Show via satellite from the Bahamas, to announce that he was the father of Anna's newborn daughter Danilynne Hope, that he and Anna "love each other" — and that the duo would get married "at some point."


But remember, this is Star Magazine that's claiming that they're hitched. Could be true... but consider the source.

Aaron Carter is not engaged anymore... well that was fast


Even I didn't think that it would all be over THIS fast.
Contact Music:

Aaron Carter has ended his engagement to model/actress Kari Ann Peniche - just nine days after proposing. The Crazy Little Party girl hitmaker, 18, asked former Miss Teen USA and Playboy model Peniche, 22, to marry him on stage at the Playboy Hollywood Comedy Tour in Las Vegas, Nevada, on 19 September (06). After Peniche accepted, the couple announced plans to wed in the next six months. However, Carter has now released a statement to American magazine Us Weekly, admitting he is too young to marry. He says, "I got caught up in the moment and proposed. I then realised it was a hasty thing to do and I am not ready for marriage quite yet." Peniche previously dated Carter's older brother, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.

Aaron Carter to marry Playboy Playmate.


Singer Aaron Carter is engaged to Playboy Playmate Kari Ann Peniche. Carter, 18, popped the question to Peniche (who previously dated Aaron's brother Nick) on Saturday in Las Vegas while they were onstage in front of 200 people during the Playboy Comedy Tour at the Palms Casino Resort. The couple, who plan to wed in the next six months, hugged and kissed after Peniche accepted the proposal. On her MySpace page, Peniche wrote that intelligence is important in a boyfriend. "You like to be able to talk about everything that is on your mind, and if your partner can't keep up, well, you know," she wrote. "You are very attracted to someone who can challenge you, and make you see things in a whole new way." On the subject of women, Carter told People magazine: “I’m not going to tell you, ‘Oh, looks don’t matter.’ If you don’t look good, get away from me!”
I cannot believe these fruitcakes think they have a shot in hell of making it. I guess ignorance is bliss.
