Jason Donovan Is Not Inviting Kylie To His Second Wedding

2:46PM Jess McGuire | Journalists have been surprised to learn that Jason Donovan will not be inviting his ex to his second wedding (he originally got hitched to the mother of his children, Angela Malloch, mid year during a holiday in Bali, but personally I find it completely understandable. Like his new wife would want to be upstaged by Our Kylie! It’s bad enough her husband talks about her at the drop of a hat! Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue was snubbed by actor/singer Jason Donovan when she was not invited to his wedding scheduled to take place in the new year. More »

Corey Haim Engaged To The Princess Of Scream!

2:45AM Seth | We’ve felt a special bond with Corey Haim ever since we played a gradeschool extra in his 1985 disease-of-the-week movie A Time to Live. (True story.) We’ve thrilled to his highs, bummed to his lows, puzzled at some of his more bizarre career decisions, and sat back helplessly as he read aloud the remarks—some supportive, some scathing—left by commenters on this very webspot. So it’s with genuine elation that we pass along this breaking news from his website: More »

NRL Star Takes Typical Drunken Footballer Idiocy To A Whole New Level

3:22PM Jess McGuire | Congratulations to North Queensland Cowboys player Carl Webb who has not only joined the footballer Hall Of Shame by getting into alcohol related trouble, but impressively managed to up the ante a bit, getting caught drink driving hours after his own wedding! The Queensland State of Origin representative was pulled over by a booze bus at 7am on Saturday in Flinders St East, Townsville, after driving back to clean up after his wedding reception. Wait, he couldn’t afford to pay people to clean up after his reception? I know there are salary caps, but this kind of penny pinching is ridiculous! More »

6:05AM Seth | And You, And You, And You—You’re Gonna Wed Her. Jennifer Hudson was given the greatest gift for her 27th birthday any ascendant American Idol also-ran could ever ask for: an engagement ring from her boyfriend, David Otunga. Like his fiancee, Otunga himself is a notable reality TV runner-up, having been passed over for lifetime studding services by a professional skank on VH1’s I Love New York 2. Back then, the world knew him as Punk; but from here on out, it’s Mr. That Guy With J-Hud. Congratulations to the happy couple! [AP] More »

Ellen And Portia’s Wedding Video: Dangerously In Love

3:54AM Seth | We needed something to bleach the image of Julianna Margulies’s privates off our cortex, and what better psychic disinfectant than some exclusive footage from Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi’s recent nuptials. Both brides look stunning—their vaginas safely stowed away somewhere where guests and hovering helicopters would never see them. We were particularly moved by the moment Ellen first laid eyes on Portia emerging in full hair, makeup, and gown, a sight that could turn even the most ardent of penis-enthusiasts into card-carrying members of the American Association of Lipstick Lesbians.

Suddenly I Do: KT Tunstall Gets Married

9:01AM Jess McGuire | Let me start off by saying that I hate myself for that lame ‘Suddenly I See’-with-a-nuptial-twist gag. Moving swiftly along, it’s time to shout “Huzzah!” (and possibly “Who cares!”) for Very Popular TM singer KT Tunstall has finally gotten hitched to her long term drummer boyfriend, disappointing lesbian fans everywhere who were convinced that Tunstall donning rainbow-coloured braces on a record cover meant her interests included diving and listening the kd lang. Scots singer KT Tunstall married her fiance, drummer Luke Bullen, on the Isle of Skye. The 33-year-old from Fife exchanged her vows in a marquee overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. She wore a full-length white silk strapless gown and the groom wore a powder-blue morning suit as 150 friends and family descended on four-star Flodigarry Country House Hotel set amid the island’s stunning natural scenery. They might have been wearing traditional couture, but the guests who attended the ceremony were certainly dressed in a rather more exotic fashion. More »

The Hearts Of Comedy Loving Women Are Probably Breaking Around The World As We Speak

2:56PM Jess McGuire | If you’ve fallen for the Kiwi charms of comedy duo Flight Of the Conchords and spent hours wondering which of the two you’d prefer to marry/just what you’ll name your future children/where will you live, Melbourne or NYC/would both of the lads be up for a three-way, you’ll be gutted to know that Jemaine Clement, the handsome bespectacled member of the pair, has just gotten hitched. Clement, 34, took a short break from writing the second series of the Conchords’ television show and wed his long-time girlfriend, Wellington actress and theatre director Miranda Manasiadis, in a Los Angeles registry office. Sure, we were never really in with a chance – he’s been with Miranda for a billion years (likewise, Bret McKenzie also has a long term missus). But this makes things so… so final, you know? A link to a photo of the happy couple (taken at last year’s Global Day Of Action For Burma in Wellington) after the jump. More »

A Peek Inside Ellen And Portia’s Guest Book: CNN Bigotry, Katherine Heigl’s Misery, and T.R. Knight’s Dream

8:20AM Seth | By all accounts, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi’s Saturday wedding was a stunning and intimate affair, the two beautiful brides eliciting audible gasps from the guests as they walked down the aisle, trailed closely behind by Iggy the Flower Dog tossing mouthfuls of white rose petals. Obviously, the world bids these two rapturously-in-love and talented ladies a lifetime of happiness together, though it’s interesting to see how those good wishes sometimes play themselves out. For starters, we have CNN’s headline on the nuptials, noticed by blogger Chexydecimal, which reads, “Ellen DeGeneres ‘marries’ Portia Rossi.” After complaints were lodged, they pulled the scare quotes—floating there like two chubby, hooked televangelist’s fingers—but kept De Rossi’s last name wrong.

Mazel Tov To Andrew G And Noa Tishby!

10:11AM Clem Bastow | In news that will likely have twice-dumped Cleo Bachelor Of The Year Jason Dundas crying into his Weet-Bix, former title-holder Andrew G has tied the knot! The perma-tanned and questionably moustachioed/hair-styled [V] and Idol host married his long-term girlfriend, Israeli actress and model Noa Tishby (they were an item when he was Bachelor Of The Year, in fact), and we’ll get to gawp at the pics in one of the glossies next week. For the time being, here’s the blushing bride’s take on it all: “We’re bringing in people from all over – Australia, LA, London, Switzerland and Amsterdam,” Tishby told The Jerusalem Post, before the marriage ceremony over the weekend. “We’re going to schlepp them all over the country – Jerusalem and Yad Vashem and the Old City, then the Dead Sea, Masada, then the Kinneret and the North,” she said. “Andrew’s been here many times and he’s obsessed with Israel – it was very important for us to have (the wedding) here and use the opportunity to show people the country.” Hip hip hip! Three cheers for the happy couple. Defamer Australia sends its warmest congratulations to the happy couple, and would like to let G offsider and pal James Matheson that we are still single! More »

Geelong Prepares To Make Ellen DeGeneres An Honorary G-Banger

10:47AM Clem Bastow | This is some news that will no doubt make the author of this tribute video very happy indeed: if we are to believe Peter “Look Ma, I Made A Real Live Career Out Of This!” Timbs’ entertainment reportage, Portia de Rossi plans to bring her fiancee Ellen DeGeneres to meet the family in Geelong over summer before they wed. This is also good news for the Australian tabloid media, who are always keen to claim a celebrity as “ours” after tenuous connections to the country are established – welcome to the crew, Ellen! TV Week writer Peter Timbs appeared on Fox FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday where he announced the news. He told radio listeners de Rossi, who grew up in Grovedale, would introduce DeGeneres, a US talk show host, to the family on their first trip Down Under as a couple. But it is de Rossi’s Geelong-based grandmother who is set to get the first visit. “She (Ellen) actually wants to meet the grandmother,” Timbs said. “Portia is quite close with the grandmother in Geelong and Ellen talks to her on the phone all the time but hasn’t met her face to face. “But she is coming over at Christmas time to meet granny at last.” Aww, dear old nanna Rogers will likely be thrilled to be in the papers, and we hope Ellen enjoys her time in G-Town. Maybe she can visit the National Wool Museum! NB: that is not some sort of celebrity lesbian in-joke/code, it’s just something to do in Geelong. More »
