PICS & DEETS: Ciara, LaLa, Serena, & More Hit Up Kim Kardashian's Much A-Do Wedding

Posted: 21 Aug 2011 06:39 AM PDT

Ciara, Venus & Serena Williams, and La La Anthony made heir way to their bestie Kim Kardashian's hoopla filled wedding last night.  Seems like the girls were lucky to even make the "list" of 440 guests--since Kim dis-invited certain family members just days before because of "space restrictions." 

 

We've got wedding arrival pics, all the details, and what Ci, 'Rena, La, and other celebs had to say about it inside...

Kim Kardashian's reported $10 million (that she paid not a cent for herself thanks to "sponsors" footing the bill) went off with a hitch yesterday.  The 30-year-old bride and her 26-year-old NBA fiance' Kris Humphries tied the knot at a Google exec's estate in Montecito, CA.  And her girl Ciara was spoted arriving for the black-and-white themed occassion:

Ciara tweeted before the ceremony: 

2Day is Princess Kimmies Day! Ow! So excited and happy for her! Will be a beautiful day indeed!

Serena Williams who was also in attendance gushed about the big day:

@KimKardashian it's official. Tomorrow my love. Can't wait. Love you. So happy for u. May forever begin... Tomorrow :)

Kimora Lee Simmons Hounsou tweeted her congrats:

Kim's godfather Sugar Ray Leonard tweeted:

Here's the first uber-grainy pic of Kim walking down the aisle in her custom Vera Wang strapless gown with her step-father Bruce Jenner:

The design was ivory with a full tulle skirt, basque waist and hand-pieced Chantilly lace appliqué on the bodice and a reportedly "epic" train.  And it was topped off with a diamond headpiece that draped on her forehead.   The shoes were Guiseppe Zanotti, and the weddings rings for both bride and groom were designed by her good friend Lorraine Schwartz, who also designed her engagement ring.

All the men and groomsmen in the wedding party wore a peak lapel tuxedo jacket (white for the groom), black tuxedo pants all by by Ermenegildo Zegna.

If you need the deets of the multi-million dollar sunset nuptials, here's the quick yet overwhelming rundown:

  • 440 person guest list at the Montecito mansion with wedding taking place in the outdoor greenery of the estate
  • Kim's co-maids of honor, her sisters Kourtney, 32, and Khloe, 27, and bridesmaids Kendall, 15, and Kylie Jenner, 14, and Kris' sister Kaela, wore ivory custom Verga Wang gowns described by E! as 'very Pippa (Middleton)'.
  • Kris Jenner wore a custom Vera Wang gown as well.
  • All guests were asked to wear black and white as well, becaue Kim said "I don't like being the center of attention."  {laughs}
  • According to wedding guests, Kris whispered to his groomsmen, included his new brothers-in-law Rob Kardashian and Lamar Odom, 'I'm nervous' as he arrived at the alter.
  • The ceremony included small services for Kim's late father Robert Kardashian and groom Kris' late grandparents
  • The food was catered by Wolfgang Puck
  • Ring Bearer was cutie nephew Mason Disick
  • Kim changed into 2 more Vera Wang custom gowns throughout the night
  • Robin Thicke sang "Angel" and "Let's Stay Together" at the reception
  • The couple can't take a honeymoon until 2012 because Kim will be "working" so much on her new season reality shows

The wedding will be shown--of course--on E! in a 4 hour series.  And word has it Kim is set to make #17.9 millie off this wedding hoopla.  Not sure how, but that's what the NY Daily News reported today.

More pics of the 10-tier chocolate and vanilla swirl (how fitting) cake, setting, and wedding party:

And hours before the wedding at the 4 seasons where guests were staying:

Hey Lamar!

"Clueless" Actor Donald Faison And Jessica Simpson's BFF Cacee Cobb Are ENGAGED!

Posted: 21 Aug 2011 06:00 AM PDT

 

Actor Donald Faison may be famous for being Clueless on the big screen, but in real life he isn't clueless about love as he recently popped the question to long-time girlfriend Cacee Cobb.  Get the deets inside....

 

Thanks to a three-way twitter conversation amongst friends, it was revealed that "Scrubs" actor Donald Faison recently got engaged his girlfriend Cacee Cobb.

Cacee, who just happens to be the best friend of mega-mogul Jessica Simpson, has been popping up on Donald's arm at red carpet events for some time now, and now the happy couple are going to make it official.

Fans of Donald found out about the news once his former "Scrubs" co-star Zach Braff tweeted:

"Congrats to @donald_faison and @caceecobb on their engagement. Just wish I was there to run around you both with sparklers."

Donald promptly responded to the announcement tweeting,

"If you like it then you better put a Ring on it. –Beyonce." 

Then Cacee joined in the conversation saying:

"If she likes it then she better say YES!!"

Cute. I love it when social networking is used to spread "the good news."

 

Tamar Braxton's Hubby Vince Laced Her With THIS?!

Posted: 21 Aug 2011 05:36 AM PDT

If we needed anymore proof that "Braxton Family Values" star and Toni's little sis Tamar Braxton gets whatever she wants from her hubby Vincent Herbet, check out his latest gift to her.

 

Of course, Tamar tweeted her excitement.  Check it inside...

Looks like Vince copped his wife a brand new Ferrari.  Nice!

So what's the occasion?  There probably isn't one.  Just Vince giving Tamar a gift for being Tamar.

Mrs. Vincent Herbert caught a lot of heat last season with fans of the reality show wondering if she only married Vince, Lady Gaga's label head, for his money and connects.  She adamantly denies it, but she surely doesn't mind getting either of those things.  She tweeted:

Look what he got me!! SO SWEET! :)

SWEET is one word for it.  Snaps for Tamar...

Former "RHOA" Lisa Wu Hartwell SPLIT From Ed Hartwell, But It's NOT Because of Finances?

Posted: 20 Aug 2011 11:31 PM PDT

The reality show curse on couples is still in effect it seems.  Former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star, Lisa Wu-Hartwell, confirmed she and her hubby of 5 years, Ed Hartwell, are indeed separated.  But she claims it's not over finances, or lack thereof, like certain folks are saying.

 

Deets inside...

Lisa, who appeared on the first 2 seasons of "RHOA," tweeted that she and her sexy former NFLer husband are indeed on Splitsville Lane, but she said it's definitely not because of finances like certain sites are claiming:

Sadly. We r seperated but wld NEVER b over money. That is so far frm the truth. Wish ppl cld respect ppl's privacy during times like these

The Hartwells had previously been in the news about their financial difficulties and not being able to afford their home, which many believed led to Lisa not being asked to return to "RHOA."  And she also previously went through drama with her first ex-husband of 10 years, Keith Sweat, over whether the kids they have and share custody of together would be shown on tv. 

Lisa already changed her name back to her maiden Lisa Wu on twitter, while Ed changed his Facebook status to "Separated." 

Lisa & Ed have a 3-year-old son named EJ (Ed, Jr.), and Lisa told a good friend who blogged that the twosome will definitely stay united at the very least in supporting their son. 

Sad news for the couple.

Teairra Mari: This DUI Is An EMBARRASSING Moment For Me!

Posted: 20 Aug 2011 09:49 PM PDT

Teairra Mari is out of lock-up after serving several hours for a DUI charge on Friday.  The "Sponsor" singer put out a statement addressing the "dumb decision" to drink and drive.  But doesn't admit to attacking a cop like reports later revealed.

 

Her full statement inside....

Let me start by saying that this is a very embarrassing moment for me, I know that I've disappointed so many people including myself. I take full responsibility for my actions, but I absolutely did NOT "attack" a Beverly Hills police officer and I'm very confused by those allegations. I did have drinks and I misjudged the situation by driving myself home. I want to apologize to those that I endangered that night and also to the people that I've let down. I hope that this situation can save someone from making the dumb decision to drink and drive!

Well I guess it'll be her drunken word against the Beverly Hills cop.  Good luck with that...
