Russell Brand & Katy Perry got married in India today

I apologize in advance for the somewhat crappy photos for this story - although paparazzi are getting nice shots of some of the crap surrounding Russell Brand and Katy Perry's wedding, there are very few "money shots" of the bride and the groom, so I'm just making do. Anyway, according to Us Weekly, Brand and Perry are officially married! They got hitched today in India, near the tiger sanctuary where Russell proposed to Katy. It was a traditional Indian ceremony, apparently.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand got married Saturday in a traditional Indian ceremony, UsMagazine.com has learned. They exchanged vows in front of 80 or so guests at the luxury Aman-i-Khas resort near the Ranthambhore tiger sanctuary in Rajasthan (the same spot where Brand, 35, proposed to Perry - who turns 26 Monday - this past December).

The new Us Weekly reports that Brand planned to ride into the ceremony on a horse, flanked by camels and elephants. Perry was also planning to have a rotating bridal wardrobe from designers Zuhair Murad and Donna Mizani, Us reports.

One thing’s certain: Perry fully embraced Indian tradition for the ceremony. Days before tying the knot, she was spotted wearing a traditional Indian bridal nose ring. It is worn by brides throughout the wedding day, with the groom removing it on the wedding night.

Despite the lavish ceremony, Brand recently told fans at a New York Times “TimesTalks” Q&A in NYC: “We just love each other and we want to get married in front of our friends and family and keep it very normal. It ain’t about selling the pictures, it ain’t about doing no pre-nup, it’s just a normal thing.

“I’m trying to preserve it, to keep it a beautiful thing,” explained Brand, who first met Perry last year on the set of his comedy, Get Him to the Greek, in which Perry had a cameo that was cut. “I think people get the wrong idea on how we want the wedding to play out. Love between two people is the most spectacular, yet ordinary thing in the world.”

The couple’s post-wedding plans? According to the Associated press, they have hired 13 vehicles to take some of their guests on tours of the tiger sanctuary. The newlyweds are staying in a luxury tent at the Aman-i-Khas resort, with guests staying at the nearby Vanyavilas and Sher Bagh resorts, the AP reports.

“They make each other laugh,” a pal tells Us of the newlyweds. “They have a chill chemistry.”

Brand agrees. During his Times talk, he told fans, “The relationship is very important to me. It means growing up. Love between two people is the most spectacular, but ordinary, thing in the world.”

Eh. I mean, they're in love, and good for them and congratulations on their wedding. I give it a year. CB thinks Katy is going to get pregnant right away though, which could mean the marriage lasts a bit longer? Although I do NOT think Katy will have a baby right away, although I doubt Russell would mind. I get the feeling this whole thing is less about wanting to spend his life with Katy and more about him wanting to see if he would be any good at marriage. Like, it's a personal challenge for him. We'll see.

Mel Gibson officially replaced by Liam Neeson on ‘The Hangover 2′

What a whirlwind week it was for Mel Gibson! He was supposed to fly to Thailand and film for one day, all for his "comeback cameo" in The Hangover 2. Some people involved in the film revolted, however, and Mel was dumped from the project just a few days after his casting was announced. Now, People Magazine confirms that Liam Neeson stepped into the cameo part, and that he flew to Thailand on Thursday. Liam worked with Bradley Cooper on The A-Team, and my guess is that Liam and B. Coop got along very well, and Bradley suggested his friend for the role.

How do you cure a hangover? Call in the A–Team.

Liam Neeson is now doing a cameo in The Hangover 2 after Mel Gibson’s appearance got canceled due to complaints by cast and crew. Neeson was invited by his A-Team costar Bradley Cooper, who’s also in the Hangover sequel.

“I just got a call to do a one-day shoot on Hangover 2 as a tattooist in Thailand, and that’s all I know about it,” Neeson tells Daily Variety. “I just laughed my leg off when I saw The Hangover, I was shooting in Berlin earlier this year and rented it on the hotel TV.”

Neeson left his New York home on Thursday for the Hangover 2 set.

[From People]

That's nice that Liam was called in and could do it on the fly. I mean… it's Liam Neeson! Why wasn't the first choice? Also, Us Weekly had an "exclusive" story about what really went down behind the scenes on set when Mel's name was mentioned for the part:

Sounds like Mel Gibson’s cancelled cameo on The Hangover 2 was doomed from the start. It’s been widely speculated that Zach Galifianakis was solely responsible for Gibson getting the axe from the sequel, after the actor admitted earlier this month he was “in a deep protest right now with a movie I’m working on.”

But an insider close to the production says that all of the film’s stars — including Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms — objected to the stunt casting.

“They barely began shooting when [Gibson] was dumped on them,” the source tells UsMagazine.com. “It was met with a collective ‘oh hell no.’”

Director Todd Phillips and the film studio tried to “appease” the cast and make it into a “positive,” but to no avail. “This dampened all of the production,” the insider says. “None of the cast, Bradley, Zach, Ed, no one was pleased and it was evident.”

The source adds that their objection wasn’t just to Gibson’s controversial reputation, tarnished more than ever over his vicious battle with ex Oksana Grigorieva.

“They don’t want him to be in the movie and serve as a platform for some creepy comeback,” the insider tells Us. “They didn’t want that energy or to shoulder what would come with having him apart of the film.”

“The entire cast and crew pretty much stood in solidarity and made it very clear: no. It took awhile, but it happened,” the source says.

“I thought Mel would have been great in the movie,” director Phillips mused to The Wrap on Thursday. “But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew.”

[From Us Weekly]

I hope this is true, just because I want to believe Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper are smart enough to realize that Mel's involvement would have been a distraction, and it would have been extremely inappropriate. Of course, I'm still expecting The Hangover 2 to be really racist, so lets not give them too much credit.

Lindsay Lohan is still in crackhead denial, says the Betty Ford Clinic

Posted: 23 Oct 2010 06:34 AM PDT

As we found out yesterday, Lindsay Lohan was not sent to jail for the multiple violations of her parole. Instead, she was ordered back to the Betty Ford Clinic until January 3. Apparently, the judge was impressed with the progress Lindsay was making thus far, but believed that a more extended and thorough detoxification process was in order. Part of the judge's decision was based on a report the Betty Ford Clinic doctors submitted to the court. Radar has excerpts from the report, and the portrait of Lindsay isn't all that flattering. Nor hopeful. Apparently, while Lindsay has made SOME progress, she still has the heart and soul of a crackhead liar in denial. Lindsay has tried to talk her way out of rehab, claiming that she's broke and she can't afford the treatment any more, and that Lindsay "has a lot of growing up to do." Ya think?

Dina Lohan looked relieved in court on Friday as the judge told her daughter Lindsay that he was not going to send her to jail but rather allow her to return to rehab to finish treatment at the Betty Ford Center. In an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com, Dina expressed how happy she is with the ruling.

"We're taking it day by day and we're very thankful for all the support and the love we've received," Dina told RadarOnline.com on Friday.

RadarOnline.com was in the Beverly Hills courtroom where Lindsay was ordered to appear for her sentencing relating to her probation violation.

The actress, 24, wore jeans and a black blazer as she sat near her mother. Lindsay's father, Michael Lohan, was also at court but sat on the opposite side of the room.
RadarOnline.com obtained Lindsay's probation report, which revealed her admission to feeling powerless about being an addict.

The powerful report, prepared by Lindsay's probation officer, contains information from several of her caregivers and gives strong insight into what the troubled actress has been dealing with. The probation report, relaying information from one of Lindsay's doctors, reads: "The defendant was motivated to look at some of the problems in her life, however, there was some denial regarding her drug addiction. He feels that the longer the defendant is at the Betty Ford Center the better."

According to the report, chemical dependency counselor Gary Richman saw Lindsay at UCLA and then at her home. When she failed her drug test he tested her every day after that.

"He believes the defendant needs to continue to work on her issues in order to save her life. He indicates the defendant is a 'wonderful young woman.'"

The report states: "After the positive drug test with the probation department, Mr. Richman indicates the defendant finally began to talk about feeling powerless and about being an addict. He states the defendant needs ongoing treatment and has a lot of growing up to do. She must make several changes in her life in order to succeed, especially coming from a family of dysfunction."

Lindsay told one of her caregivers that she cannot remain at Betty Ford because she is broke. According to the report: "She indicates that she cannot afford to continue to pay for the treatment program and she needs to work. The defendant stated her clothing line is falling apart because she is not available to monitor the product. "

Lindsay also told them she is scheduled to start shooting a movie on November 10. The report reveals that Lindsay is in a group geared toward improving self esteem at Betty Ford and that she is also in group therapy and AA meetings.

One probation officer spoke to Lindsay by phone on October 14 and Lindsay said, "I feel good," according to the report.

Despite Lindsay's pleas to get out of Betty Ford, the probation report says she is doing well and recommends that she be kept there.

"The probation officer feels that it is a positive step, that the defendant has acknowledged her addiction and is seeking additional treatment," the report says.

"Possibly removing herself from her lifestyle and its pressures for an extended period is exactly what is needed to preserve her health."

The judge apparently agreed.

[From Radar (two articles)]

Honestly, this report doesn't indicate to me that Lindsay has fulfilled the idea I have of a contrite addict - she has not given herself over to God, she has not accepted responsibility for actions, past and present, and tried to make amends and ask for forgiveness. She sounds like the same old crackhead trying to lie and cheat and do and say whatever she can to get out of rehab. My guess is that the doctors at the Betty Ford Clinic think that with time, maybe this will happen, because it hasn't yet.

Meanwhile, TMZ reports that Lindsay is already preparing her cracked out contingency plan for when she gets out in January. Their sources say that her "management team" (which consists of Dina and a bottle of vodka) are "already lining up projects for the actress as soon as she steps out of rehab in 2011" and that the team "has been devouring movie scripts, furiously setting up meetings, and organizing fashion projects, all in anticipation of LiLo’s release from rehab — January 3, 2011." A few of Lindsay's friends think it would be a horrible idea for Lindsay to go back to work right away though - "She shouldn't be working the first week. She shouldn't be working the first couple months. She needs to be attending daily meetings to stay on track for sobriety.” Not when Mama needs some blow!

Kate Gosselin’s nanny quit because Kate is a controlling bitch

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 11:09 AM PDT

wenn2979659

You know I can't stand Kate Gosselin, but even I was slightly perturbed by this story Life & Style just sent us. It's a simple story about how Kate's nanny just quit, because Kate is a demanding bitch, and the whole thing turned into a hit piece about Kate being a sh-tty mother. Which… I mean, sure, I think she's a crappy mom. She is obviously a fame-hungry narcissist who would rather be in LA working on herself than in Pennsylvania, putting together lunchboxes. So why does this bother me?

It looks like Kate Gosselin may be forced to actually parent her eight kids now — her nanny, Ariel Cantara, has walked out!

"Kate is not the easiest person to deal with," says an insider close to the reality-TV mom to Life & Style. "She drove Ariel insane. Kate's controlling and a neat freak. No wonder Ariel quit."

And Ariel isn't the first nanny to give Kate the kiss-off. "She has gone through about 11 nannies and tons of helpers in the past few years," says the insider to Life & Style. "Shifts can last up to 24 hours, and you have to go on trips with the family. Sleepovers are often required, and there is no set schedule with days off. You work when Kate says she needs you to work."

The Kate Plus 8 star, who's currently not on TV, could save some money by being a more hands-on mom (she's been known to pay her nannies $25 an hour) — but that, of course, would interfere with her salon appointments and bid to make it in Hollywood.

"Kate is unavailable to her children," says the insider. "She never plays with them anymore and is constantly busy with her personal affairs. That's why she always needs a nanny!"

[From Life & Style]

I don't know much about standard hourly rates for nannies, but $25 an hour sounds like decent enough pay. Did she just have the ONE nanny for eight kids? No, right? She has several nannies, and just one of them quit because $25 an hour wasn't enough to soothe the savage famewhore known as "Kate". But if I was a nanny and I was "on call" 24-7, I would quit too. Enough is enough.

Lindsay Lohan ordered back to rehab until January, no jail

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 10:19 AM PDT

100722a1_lohan_l_b-gr_06

Okay, I've started writing this before I know what's happening with Lindsay Lohan in court today. There are no cameras allowed inside the court room, unfortunately. Lindsay arrived with her mom and her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, 25 minutes before the 8:30 a.m. PST hearing. I've seen the photos from her arrival… and I can safely say that Lindsay exited the Betty Ford Clinic, and her mother must have had a syringe full of collagen waiting in the car, because Lindsay's lips are back to being extremely cracked-out. It's ridiculous. Okay, I'll put my immediate reactions as the news (whatever it may be) comes in:

Oh, while we're waiting, Michael Lohan claims that someone stabbed him or something.

OKAY! Lindsay is going back to rehab until January 3! She isn't going to jail, and the judge is impressed with her progress in rehab, and thought she needed more. This is all according to TMZ - Lindsay will probably end up spending 3 months in rehab. She's also going to have her SCRAM off, but she will still have to submit to drug and alcohol testing until January. Apparently Lindsay cried a little and thanked the judge, and the judge said he was sending her back to rehab because he didn't want a train wreck in his court. I can’t believe Lindsay got special treatment again. It makes me sick. The DA wanted her to get 180 days in jail - and that’s what Lindsay should have gotten. You can tell from her smug face that she’s not taking any of this seriously. I'll update with more when it comes in!

UPDATE: Radar has more details here - the judge wants her in rehab beyond the holidays, because he fears that she would relapse on Christmas or New Year’s. Also, everyone who was in court says that Lindsay still looks like hell.

UPDATE: At 9:52 PST Lindsay left the courthouse without her lawyer and without Dina - she was flanked by people from Betty Ford, and the belief is that she’s going straight back into rehab.

UPDATE: A source tells TMZ that Dina Lohan is “beyond excited” that Lindsay didn’t get jail time because “everyone thought she would be sentenced to jail for 30 days.”

Lady Gaga has a new look and a hot bald bodyguard

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 10:18 AM PDT

101022l4_lady_gaga_b_gr_04

While I was waiting for Lindsay Lohan news, I started looking at these new photos of Lady Gaga in London, and now I'm kind of obsessed with them. My opinion? London agrees with her. Some Americans are just like that, and Gaga always seems better, like she's recharging or something, when she's in England and away from America. She's even "gifted" us with a new look, much different than the more revealing costumes she's been wearing lately - Gaga looks almost modest. And I like this grey and white wig - it's kind of cute. What I don't understand is the weird sunglasses. Perhaps it's some kind of ode to John Lennon? Ugh.

Also - check out Gaga's bodyguard, the bald one. I wish I was a big pop star so I could have hot bodyguards like that, pressing up against my body and muttering into their piece, "The package is on the move." Hottie McBaldy is way cuter than Gaga's boyfriend Luc Carl.

101022l4_lady_gaga_b_gr_03

One last thing - Gaga is going to duet with Elton John on a song for Gnomeo and Juliet, an animated film. You know what that means, right? If it's an original song, the combination of Elton, Gaga and animation means that the song will likely be nominated for an Oscar. Which means… Gaga at the Oscars. Not for the 2011 Oscars, but the 2012. You love it.
