Billie Incurs Wrath Of New Family With ‘No Kids’ Wedding

11:17AM Clem Bastow | Nothing like a wedding to bring people together in harmony (read: send all sides of the family to their respective corners, foaming at the mouths and baying for fresh human blood)! Our girl Billie Piper just had her wedding to dapper young acting gent Lawrence Fox and, in perhaps the most shattering news of the new celebrity year, his uncle Robert – brace yourselves – DID NOT COME. It seems Uncy Rob was pissed off by Billie’s – perfectly run-of-the-mill, based on weddings we’ve attended upon occasion – request that children stay home from the all-night boozer (incidentally held at ex-husband Chris Evans’ pub). It should also be noted that Uncle Robert is not, in fact, a child himself. His official excuse was that he was out of the country. But a friend informs me: “The truth was, Robert was actually at his home in Shepherd’s Bush. He and his wife decided not to go after being told their children were not welcome.” Oh wah, wah, wah! Haven’t they ever heard of the phrase “my day, my way”? It’s Billie’s call, dudes, and to a lesser extent, the call of the bloke she’s marrying. Someone needs to buy the Fox clan a box-set of Bridezillas, stat. More »

Billie And Chris Evans Continue To Show Up Every “Let’s Stay Friends” Break-Up Ever By Actually Staying Friends

8:16AM Clem Bastow | We love Billie Piper, and we love her even more because of the ridiculously civilised way in which she and her ex-husband, radio star Chris Evans, ended their five-year marriage. She said at the time, in refusing a pay-out or any sort of divorce settlement – remember, Evans is a millionaire – that they’d had a good relationship and as such, “I’m not taking a penny from him, I think that’s disgusting.” So, it’s probably not surprising that the duo – who promised to stay friends – are still thick as thieves. So thick, in fact, that Billie is holding her upcoming wedding to actor Laurence Fox at one of Evans’ pubs – and he’s overseeing the reception! Miss Piper and 41-year-old Evans were divorced in June after five years of marriage, but remain good friends. Shortly after their separation, the actress declared that she and the controversial multi-millionaire DJ would be “best mates for life”. In August, when Evans married his new love – professional golfer Natasha Shishmanian – and later held a reception in Portugal, Miss Piper and Mr Fox were among the guests. And during much of this year the two couples have often made a foursome in the White Horse pub in Midhurst, enjoying burgers and beer. All of a sudden your casual email, occasional coffee or shuffling bar-room encounter with your ex – who you make sure to tell everyone you’re still on great terms with – seems pitifully inadequate, doesn’t it? Perhaps Billie and Chris can cash in by writing a book on breaking up like grown-ups? Hey, if Mr “He’s Just Not That Into You” can do it! More »

Details Of Brandon Routh’s Ultra-Secret Superwedding Revealed!

7:25AM Defamer Hollywood | It’s been a long while since the name Brandon Routh – the dashing young man plucked from obscurity to fill Superman’s tights in the all-Kryptonian hero’s long-awaited and quickly forgotten return to the big screen – has come up. So it was with a measure of genuine delight that we received an e-mail blast entitled, “ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT IS EXCLUSIVELY INSIDE THE SECRET WEDDING OF ‘SUPERMAN’ BRANDON ROUTH,” a subject line that effectively teased the many details of the one-movie-long resuméd actor’s mystery-enshrouded nuptials therein: The Man of Steel is officially off the market! ‘Superman Returns’ star BRANDON ROUTH married longtime girlfriend, actress COURTNEY FORD, on Saturday at JON and MINDY PETERS‘ 3000-acre El Capitan Ranch, just outside of Santa Barbara, CA.

Ethan Hawke On The Difficulty Of Loving A More Successful Actress

9:40AM Defamer Hollywood | As much as we’d like to see our favourite celebrity marriages succeed, the sad truth is that the majority of romantic unions featuring one or more paparazzi -targets will end in crushing disappointment, as the two slowly come to realise that the disparity in their per-picture asking prices has wedged a permanent rift between them. Still, like so many other blatantly obvious yet unspoken Hollywood truths, that fact is never actually addressed. Instead, we get familiar clichés like “irreconcilable differences,” and publicist mainstay, “the two remain great friends” – all of which makes the former Mr. Uma Thurman’s candidness on the subject at a recently taped episode of Shootout all the more refreshing: “It’s unfair when one person’s career is taking off and the other is really suffering,” the 36-year-old actor tells AMC’s “Shootout” in an interview slated to air Sunday.
