Richie/Madden Nuptials


Ever since she was a little girl, there were two things Nicole Richie wanted on the day she married: a show-stopper dress inspired by Grace Kelly's iconic wedding gown, and a real live elephant for good luck.

Both her wishes came true as she married Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden at her father Lionel Richie's home on Dec. 11.

They tied the knot in front of their children – Harlow, 2, was the flower girl, while 15-month-old Sparrow was the ring-bearer – under a tent transformed to resemble a French garden.

"It was magical," Richie, 29, tells PEOPLE. Adds Madden, 31: "It was the best night of my life."

For her big day, Richie wore three stunning Marchesa dresses, including one featuring a ball-gown skirt crafted from more than 100 yards of hand-draped silk organza and tulle petals.

OMFG!!!


Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds have separated.


"After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage," they say in a joint statement. "We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."

According to a source, the couple quietly split six months ago, and Johansson initiated the move. The actress began apartment-hunting in New York City and is currently in Jamaica with some girlfriends, the source adds.

However, last month the pair were spotted looking cozy together at New York hotspot Avenue.

Johansson, 26, and Reynolds, 34, tied the knot in a quiet September 2008 ceremony in a wilderness retreat in Vancouver, which is Reynolds's hometown. The ceremony was attended only by a handful of close family and friends – and no photos were released.

"It was my mission to have a moment of privacy, to do something for myself," Johansson told the Los Angeles Times of the hush-hush affair. "I was happy with the results of that."

The pair remained fairly mum about their relationship, only rarely giving up small tidbits about their married life.

But the actress told In Style in April 2010 that she enjoyed cooking for Reynolds – and her domestic life with him. "There's a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain, in a way. You've got your home in that other person."

Reynolds, who is PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive, told PEOPLE that the best thing about married life was, "You get to hang out with your best buddy every day."

Seeing Double



I love this side by side comparison...did you know Diana was only 19 when she got engaged and Charles was 33???

Welcome to Splitsville Zac

This is so major!!! It makes me want to go home and watch Charlie St. Cloud knowing that Zac Efron is on the market!!!


One of young Hollywood's golden couples is no more: Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have split up.


"They are 100 percent still good friends," a source tells PEOPLE of the High School Musical sweethearts, who first began dating in 2006.

The couple have been a Hollywood fixture and have both spoken about feeling an instant connection when they met. "Right off the bat, we had a connection, I think everybody could see it," Hudgens, who turns 22 on Tuesday, said in the June issue of Glamour.

Efron, 23, also recently spoke of their relationship, saying the pair's love was "exactly how it should be. It's real."

Efron is filming The Lucky One in New Orleans while Hudgens is working on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island in Hawaii.

E! Online was the first to report the split.

New Couple Alert


Ryan Gosling's new movie Blue Valentine almost got an NC-17 rating, but the actor kept the flirtation with Blake Lively noticeably G-rated at the film's premiere after-party.


Still, the pair were almost inseparable as they engaged in close conversation Thursday night while the Quintessentially-sponsored event spun around them at The Top of the Standard at the Standard Hotel in New York. At one point, Gosling started to leave Lively's side and the actress yanked him back to continue chatting, according to an observer.

As the party wound down, they headed downstairs to the hotel's Standard Grill to dine with two other companions.

Lively, 23, and Gosling, 30, were first spotted together in October at Disneyland where they took in the sights and some ice cream at the park, an appropriate setting since Gosling once was a Mouseketeer.

Neither of the actors is admitting to anything serious. "She's an incredible actress; she's a good friend," Gosling told PEOPLE at a lunch Thursday for Blue Valentine in New York at the Kimberly Hotel.

When asked generally about romances between actors and actresses, Gosling says, "You're not allowed to have friends in this business." 

Love Birds on the Set of Breaking Dawn


Onscreen lovebirds Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are making no secret of their real-life romance while shooting the latest Twilight installment.


The pair, along with the rest of the film's cast, are now filming Breaking Dawn in Baton Rouge, La., after a stop in Brazil, and have been seen getting cozy around the southern city.

Pattinson, 24 and Stewart, 20 recently joined about two dozen other cast members for a private dinner at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, but seemed to only have eyes for one another.

"Kristen and Rob were very couple-like," a restaurant source tells PEOPLE. "There was a lot of hand-holding, sitting next to each other. Everyone was talking around the room, but Kristen and Rob were just talking to each other, not really into the conversations everyone else was having."

At another outing to Cadillac Café, a strip-mall karaoke bar less than a mile from the studio where shooting is taking place, the two were spotted looking "very much a couple," says an onlooker.

"I mean, they weren't slobbering all over each other … but they sure looked like a couple and were talking with each other like a couple," the onlooker says. "They [seem like] a couple in love."

Another hot romance in the cast, which breaks for the holidays next week, is Joe Jonas, 21 and Ashley Greene, 23. The duo have been seen together all over Baton Rouge, at restaurants including TJ Ribs and California Pizza Kitchen.

An employee at Fred's Bar tells PEOPLE that Jonas and Greene have shown up "a couple of times" to listen to bands. "They were definitely together, holding hands," the source says. "A few people recognized them, they were pretty cool."

Engagement Pics

Kate Middleton and Prince William have shared two of their official engagement pics...how cute are they?



Surprise We're Married


Nicole Richie and Joel Madden got hitched over the weekend.

Oh My, Miley.

A video of the pop sensation partying the week of her 18th birthday with a bong has surfaced, but sources tell TMZ that Cyrus was not smoking marijuana.

According to the report, she was smoking a natural herb, salvia, which is legal in California and has hallucinogenic effects.

"I'm having a little bit of a bad trip," Cyrus says into the camera, before asking her "friend", "Is that a Liam look-alike – is that my boyfriend?"

In between bouts of giggles, she asks, "Is that me tripping? Does that look like Liam at all?"

The video, which was shot five days after her birthday, ends in Cyrus saying, "I want more of that s---," after laughing and rambling incomprehensibly.

Buy here: Lovelane

Anthropologie Items of the Week


Last year  I decided gray was going to be my color of the year...it always looks so effortless.  This year is going to be the year of plaid...which also always looks effortless.  With the ruffles and bow this is not totally effortless, but its at least a step in the right direction.  This shirt is SO flattering on. This pink is not to sweet and the gray in the plaid also toughens the shirt up a little.  This one is a must buy...I already did!


How cute are these little coin purses?  They'd make great stocking stuffers!


I have a weakness for all things green and this is no exception.  Warm and cozy, but fitted and cute...and on sale for the low, low price of $49.99.


This guy is also on sale for a mere $9.99 I ordered one to hang scarves on outside my coat closet and I can't wait for it to arrive!

These are on sale too for $19.99...they are the coolest and would make great gifts this holiday season.

Who Will Bow to Whom?


It blows my mind that someone sat down and figured all this out...but it also very much intrigues me.  Here's the article from People.com:

Ah, the complexities of the royal pecking order.  Now that Kate Middleton is on the fast track to royalty, an interesting question of politics at the palace has been raised: Will Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (a.k.a. Prince William's stepmother) have to curtsy to the young princess?  The short answer, it seems, is yes.

As the wife of the future king, Kate will hold a senior spot among the women in Queen Elizabeth's extended family, and the other women (those born to royalty, no less) will curtsy to her.

"A little-known edict issued by the monarch five years ago is about to sink Kate, Princess Anne, the Queen's cousin Princess Alexandra and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie into a very royal quagmire," writes Christopher Wilson in the U.K.'s Daily Mail.

A document titled "Precedence Of The Royal Family To Be Observed At Court" was drawn up in 2005 in order to clarify the position of the then highly unpopular Camilla among the royal family. As Prince Charles's wife, she should have been high up in the order, but instead, she was moved down to appease Princesses Anne and Alexandra.

"Princess Anne, in particular, was extremely chilly towards Camilla and made it clear she had no intention of curtsying to her ever," a former courtier tells Wilson.  So what does this mean for the newest Princess in town?

As the wife of the future King, Kate will rank second on the pecking order, as long as she is physically with William at royal gatherings. Therefore, Princess Anne, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and a dozen other ladies will rank below her and should curtsy to her.

However, if she is not with her prince, Kate will drop at least four places in the order, and Princesses Anne, Beatrice, Eugenie and Alexandra will outrank her. Kate will always, of course, curtsy to Queen Elizabeth.

Seeing as I am now officially The Lady of the River I would like to declare a similar edict.  Everyone must bow to me when I am in the presence of King Charles.  When he isn't around you may simply greeting me using my proper title.
