A LITTLE GRUMBLING AFTER LEGEND WEEKEND IN ITALY

We couldn’t resist sharing one last tidbit from our exclusive scoop about Chrissy Teigen and John Legend‘s wedding renewal ceremony in Lake Como, Italy last weekend. According to our spy, a few guests were surprised that Chrissy and John brought along their children when the invitation specifically instructed guests NOT to bring their kids. The problem? Guests were expected to pay for their own airfare, ground transportation and accommodations, and with rooms at the resort going for over $6000 a night, the tab easily added up. My source says that some guests were miffed that they shelled out so much money to attend, and were forced to leave their kids at home with sitters. “It’s one thing to say no kids allowed if John and Chrissy were picking up the tab for everything, but it’s borderline obnoxious to ban kids and still expect people to pay their own way,” the insider explains.

REALLY? BRITNEY SPEARS’ SONS VETOED HER WEDDING?

Okay, something is VERY strange about the fact that Britney Spears’ sons Jayden, 15, and Sean, 16, did NOT attend their mother’s wedding. Britney’s lawyer offered the lame excuse that they were taken by surprise because the event was so sudden, and they “didn’t want to steal the spotlight from their mom” on the big day. (We imagined that Britney would have been very civilized and invited her ex Kevin Federline and his wife with their two boys.) She did NOT. Did the boys REALLY think THEY would steal attention from Britney when she had people like Madonna, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton, Selena Gomez etc at the ceremony? We think NOT. Something is very wrong between Britney and her sons – do they NOT like her new husband? Anything is possible- except that weak excuse…

GWEN STEFANI AND BLAKE SHELTON: WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE?

It took them six years to commit, but Blake and Gwen finally got married last weekend. The fact that they seem to be two of the nicest people in Hollywood made it a rare event. This is our favorite photo from the Oklahoma wedding. Gwen’s sons with her ex Gavin Rossdale took part in the event and Kingston,15, is already evolving into a rockstar cutie.

HOW DOES RAPPER FUTURE SUPPORT ALL THOSE KIDS?

How the rapper Future has time to crank out so many songs and videos is particularly amazing when you consider how busy is private life is. He spent New Year’s Eve in a “spiritual marriage” ceremony with his 22 year old model girlfriend Dess Dior. One observer joked that hopefully womanizer Future had a “prespiritual agreement.” It was emphasized that the ceremony was in no way legal. The handsome and prolific 37 year old rapper already has many legal entanglements with women and their babies. He has nine baby mothers and several more possibilities yet unproven. It must be noted that his spiritual bride Dess was wearing a VERY puffy dress during the ceremony, so #10 is quite likely on its way.Two years ago Future filmed his Wifi Lit video at our house and the place was packed with twerking women…(We made a cameo appearance in the video as the only fully dressed female)

JUSTIN BIEBER’S UNIQUE WEDDING PREPARATIONS

We were ready to comment about Justin Bieber’s XXL clothing until we saw that he is STILL wearing that black bag feeding something into his arm intravenously. Last week he was seen at a medical center with this portable equipment and this week he wore it to church. Is this some sort of wedding preparation therapy? Is he nervous about getting married again? It’s interesting that Hailey is not around when Justin is seen getting this medication. Maybe he plans to surprise her with his renewed vigor or something…

HOW TO DRAW ATTENTION TO YOUR WEDDING: HIRE BEYONCE


Getting married in India has turned into a huge competition for the MOST glamour and extravagance – at least among the billionaire families. The richest man in India, Mukesh Ambani, (net worth 43.4 billion) was determined to have the biggest and best event for his daughter Isha, who married another billionaire. The invitations were fancy chests full of gifts. The 100 million dollar week-long party included entertainment by Beyonce. IMAGINE how much she must have been paid! Isha, a Yale graduate, now will presumably leave the 27 story home she grew up in, which includes multi level gardens and 3 helipads! It’s both fascinating and horrifying…

PERRY FARRELL’S WIFE ETTY: WORST DRESSED THIS WEEK

In what universe is this acceptable wedding attire for guests? Jane’s Addiction bandmember Perry Farrell and his Hong Kong born wife Etty flew to Rio to attend Guy Oseary’s extravagant renewal of wedding vows with his wife Michelle Alves. Talent manager Oseary is involved with many musical stars and actors so the guest list was impressive- including Madonna (who performed) U2, Matthew McConaughey, Chris Rock, assorted models etc. WHY Perry Farrell’s wife would choose to look like THIS is beyond comprehension, but it earned her the title of Worst Dressed this week.

NICK RHODES WAS THE ULTIMATE 80’S PRETTY BOY AT HIS WEDDING

What could be more uplifting on a Monday than a trip back to the indulgent 80’s? We came upon this photo of Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes’ 1984 wedding at the observational Dangerous Minds.net site and it says EVERYTHING about music style in the 80’s. Nick, 22, married Idaho department store heiress Julie Anne Friedman, 25, in a costly over the top ceremony in London. When Andy Warhol met the couple (he had a crush on Rhodes) he remarked that Nick “wore twice as much makeup as Julie” and was “half as tall.” In spite of the decadent era, the marriage lasted 8 years and produced a daughter. (We met Nick at an MTV event in the 80’s and he was as adorable as he was high on something.)

Sofia Vergara, 43, and her fiancée Joe Manganiello, 38, grabbed quite a bit of attention just walking down the street in New York. And why not- they’re certainly one of best looking Hollywood couples of all time! Sofia says they contemplated eloping but her family made a huge fuss and INSISTED on a festive wedding. So she’s been planning the big event and is relieved that Joe just lets her do whatever she wants. He’s “easy going” – not to mention easy on the eyes.
