Natalie Portman & Benjamin Millepied were married in a traditional Jewish ceremony

Posted: 05 Aug 2012 08:13 AM PDT

I'm writing this because I just can't watch any more of the Roger Federer-Andy Murray gold medal match, which should be over at any moment because Federer is just… my God, what is happening to Federer? He beat Murray at Wimbledon just a few weeks ago and now Federer is just playing like… GAH. Is it simply that everyone in Britain is just Team Murray? Anyway… Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millpied have gotten married. It's surprising because there have been rumors floating around for more than a year that Benjamin and Natalie were already married in a quiet, secretive ceremony before she even gave birth to baby Aleph last year. So… I guess this is official now.

Mazel tov! Six months after very quietly debuting wedding bands at the 2012 Oscars, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied exchanged marital vows in a Jewish ceremony at a private home near Big Sur, Calif., Us Weekly can exclusively confirm. The 8pm wedding took place beneath a chuppah–and in the dark! No other details were immediately available.

The Oscar-winning actress, 31, and French-born dancer-choreographer Millepied, 35, are parents to a 13-month-old son, Aleph.

After meeting on the set of 2010′s Black Swan (Millepied was choreographer and had a small role in the film that won Portman a Best Actress Oscar), the stunning couple announced their engagement and pregnancy in December 2010. (A set source told Us it was “seductive to watch” to couple fall fall for one another . . . There was no way the attraction could be missed.)

During her acceptance speech in February 2011, an emotional Portman called Millepied “my beautiful love,” and thanked him for giving her “the most important role of my life [motherhood].” Aleph was born that June.

The couple returned to the Academy Awards in February of this year and, amidst affectionate red carpet shots together, sported apparent wedding bands. Although the resolutely private couple wouldn’t comment, jeweler Jamie Wolf confirmed to Us: “I designed the rings worn by Benjamin Millepied and Natalie Portman . . . They were made with recycled platinum and conflict free diamonds.”

I love Jewish weddings. I think the traditions are so lovely. I would love to have a wedding with a chuppah and the wine and breaking of the glass and all of that. As for Natalie and Benjamin… it sounds nice. It sounds like they went pretty traditional – her traditions. Because I have no idea what Benjamin is, religion-wise. It's interesting that there's still so much confusion as to whether they actually had some kind of wedding ceremony last year too – they might have, you know. This could have been like they're "real wedding" after a quickie wedding last year.

UPDATE:… And Andy Murrary just won, by the way. Congrats to Andy Murrary, Olympic Gold Medalist.

Kristen Stewart is the same, ‘hasn’t showered, changed or washed her hair’

Posted: 05 Aug 2012 07:09 AM PDT

I've always liked two things about Kristen Stewart: she has the ability to pull off really strong, really "done" makeup looks, and she has great hair. Consistently, her makeup looks awesome when she's on a red carpet. And just as consistently, her hair looks like hell. I suspect that Kristen's natural hair is naturally wavy, even curly, and very thick. Instead of taking care of her beautiful mane, she leaves it unwashed and unkempt, and it often looks really greasy, and in need of a good root dye. What am I trying to say? That I have no problem believing that Kristen is one of those girls who either "forgets" to shower or simply does NOT shower on a regular basis. So, when Kristen is depressed or anxious… what really changes? Not much, according to Radar's source. Apparently, Kristen has been staying with a producer friend, and she hasn't been showering because she's so distraught.

Kristen Stewart has been staying with producer Giovanni Agnelli ever since fleeing the home she shared with Rob Pattinson, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

He has offered the actress the run of his home, in the trendy Sunset Plaza area, until she feels able to head out and face the public again under the harsh glare of her cheating scandal.

“Kristen is acting like a heartbroken teenager,” a source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. “She is crying her eyes out non-stop and does not want to communicate with anyone."

“She is beyond mortified and humiliated and she is also broken hearted,” the source says. “She says she truly loved Rob. She says he was her soul mate, but she blew it and now she is scared that she has lost him forever. She is pretty much inconsolable.”

Stewart hasn’t been seen since she issued a public apology to Pattinson, her Twilight costar and real-life boyfriend, for what she called a “momentary indiscretion” with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.

“Kristen hasn’t showered or changed or washed her hair in several days,” the insider reveals. “She is laying around in her T-shirt and shorts and eating ice cream. She really wants to believe that she can win back Rob, but I think deep down she knows that isn’t the case.”

Agnelli, who produced Stewart’s 2010 movie, Welcome to the Rileys, has been tweeting support of his friend, insisting she never had sex with Sanders. “There was no on set affair" he wrote last week.

“Giovanni has been very, very attentive to her every need,” our source says. “He has been fielding all her calls via her cellphone and vetting who she gets to speak to, so not many people can get through to her right now.”

[From Radar]

"She is laying around in her T-shirt and shorts and eating ice cream" = How I watch the Olympics. Although I did shower last week. And I shower regularly. Because I need to. Because I feel really gross if I don't shower at least once a day, usually twice a day. Even when I was Kristen's age, and even when I was super-busy and running all over the place – I still showered every day. I don't understand people who don't. As for Kristen's close friendship with Giovanni Agnelli… yeah… I'm very suspicious. Why not stay with her parents? Why not stay with a girlfriend?

Meanwhile, People Mag had an interesting story about Liberty Ross and Rupert Sanders…

Since news broke of Kristen Stewart’s hook-up with Rupert Sanders, the married director of Snow White and the Huntsman, her boyfriend Robert Pattinson has been coping with heartbreak. He’s not the only one. Sanders’s wife of seven years, Liberty Ross, was “devastated,” a source tells PEOPLE of the model-turned-actress, who played Stewart’s mother in the hit film.

“They seemed like a perfectly happy family,” the source says of Ross and Sanders, who have two children. “This was devastating for her.”

Though Sanders, 44, was recently spotted out wearing his wedding ring, that is no indication that Ross has forgiven her husband. In fact, another source tells PEOPLE that the couple have not seen each other since Sanders told Ross about cheating with Stewart, 22.

“She’s been focused just on her kids through this,” the source says. “It’s what she cares about the most.”

However, the shock of the scandal is apparently fading. “Now she’s really feeling strong and looks forward to resuming her life,” the source says.

But that doesn’t mean a reconciliation is in the works. According to the source, nothing has been decided.

[From People]

"Now she’s really feeling strong and looks forward to resuming her life" – it sounds like Liberty is probably resolved to move back to England, right? Maybe Liberty and Rupert will work out, maybe they won't, but I suspect this affair will be Liberty's bargaining chip to move out of LA, where she was clearly not happy.

Brad Pitt in cowboy couture on the UK set of ‘The Counselor’: hot or busted?

Posted: 05 Aug 2012 06:39 AM PDT

At first I thought Brad Pitt was wearing a normal suit in these photos. But he's not. It's a Western-style suit, but it's still kind of beautiful on him. Like, Cowboy Couture by Tom Ford or something. That's one of Brad's strengths – he makes most outfits look like Tom Ford, even when they're a hokey "cowboy" costume. These are photos from the London set of The Counselor, that Ridley Scott movie in which Michael Fassbender plays the lead guy. We had Fassy photos (from the London set) last week – go here to see the Fassy-goodness. Fassy was going commando under HIS suit. I don't think Brad Pitt is going commando under his.

The Counselor is based on the book by Cormac McCarthy, and the film is being directed by Ridley Scott. Scott got this film a really quick turn-around, it feels like. The project was announced, and suddenly Fassbender was attached and Brad was rumored to play a supporting part and there were even casting rumors for Angelina Jolie too. But the Jolie casting didn't happen, unfortunately. The cast now includes Fassy, Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem (this is Javi’s second McCarthy adaptation since his Oscar-winning performance in No Country For Old Men), and John Leguizamo. This is the second time Fassy has worked with Ridley – they did Prometheus together. This is also the second time Brad and Ridley have worked together – Thelma & Louise, remember? It's funny to me that Brad is basically playing another cowboy-hustler in this movie. I haven't read the McCarthy book (yet), but this is basic plot: "A lawyer finds himself in over his head when he gets involved in drug trafficking." Fassy is the lawyer.

Should we talk about Brad's hair? He's dyed it. And he's got a ponytail. And it looks greasy. This is basically what my hair looks like at the gym. He's not really giving it to me here, but I do like him in this shade of blue.

Jennifer Lopez “is absolutely going to break up with Casper Smart”: Yay!

Posted: 05 Aug 2012 06:30 AM PDT

The Kristen Stewart-Rupert Sanders cheating scandal had one unexpected consequence: it made the other tabloids super-angry that they hadn't exposed some huge scandal, so the other tabloids began going after Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart. Did Star Mag and In Touch Weekly completely manufacture their stories about Casper frequenting a popular gay cruise spot and/or getting "The Travolta" at a backroom massage joint adjacent to a peep show? Not really – considering there was photo evidence of Casper entering the place, the tabloids were just having some fun with it. Still, J.Lo got angry. She and her lawyers threatened to sue – although you have to wonder, what would be worse? If people think Casper is gay or if they think he's getting backroom handies? Or both, I guess?

Anyway, whatever went down at that peep show/cruising spot/backroom handie emporium already happened. Although Jennifer and her lawyers are trying to get an apology, I doubt one will be forthcoming. Which makes you think… if Jennifer sufficiently embarrassed now? Is she finally willing to admit that making Casper her boyfriend wasn't the best idea? Perhaps. This strange little piece appeared in People Mag on Friday – they really slid it in under the radar too, shoving it beneath their Olympic coverage:

Her whirlwind romance with Casper Smart began last November as what one source close to the couple told PEOPLE was “a fun fling.”

But now, nearly a year later, could Jennifer Lopez be preparing to leave more than just her American Idol gig?

“He’s moved into her life – and a little too easily, too,” the source tells PEOPLE. “I think her family is watching him closely.”

Lopez’s possible cold front comes amid tabloid reports about Smart: One claims he visited a New York City exotic massage parlor, while another reports he was at a peep show next door. (Photographs show Smart going up a set of stairs that lead to the spa.) Lawyers for the couple call the stories “false, malicious and defamatory.”

Those rumors coincided with her 43rd birthday, which they celebrated together in the city. But although they were all smiles as they were photographed heading to lunch, the source says “she’s getting frustrated with him” and she’s increasingly “short-tempered when she’s around him.”

This is a departure from the affection they displayed when they hit the town – and, recently, in a steamy music video for her single “Dance Again” (and again in a sweet clip during her current concerts for the song “Baby I Love U”).

But as Smart continues to tour with Lopez, a breakup may not be in their near future.

“Jennifer is the kind of girl who doesn’t like to be alone,” says the source. “Until she finds a replacement, I think, he’s around.”

[From People]

The "source" could be Benny Medina. Maybe it's one of Jennifer's sisters. Probably not her mother – Lupe wouldn't go to People Magazine with "concerns". Lupe would just put on old-school Santeria hex on Casper and that would be the end of that. I tend to think the source is Medina, though – the "Jennifer is the kind of girl who doesn’t like to be alone. Until she finds a replacement, I think, he’s around" quote sounds like Medina. Because it's true. That's exactly what Jennifer is like. She cannot be alone. She cannot NOT believe her life is some kind of "fairy tale". She cannot stop picking losers. Girl needs a dong intervention. Casper might need one too.

Hilariously, Radar has an even harder version of this – their sources are making room for Jennifer to (gasp!) dump Casper. For real!

Jennifer Lopez is on the verge of breaking up with her back-up dancer boy toy, Casper Smart, because the 43-year-old mother-of-two has come to the realization that she really doesn’t have a lot in common with the 24-year-old, and is beginning to feel like his babysitter, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

“Jen is currently on tour with Enrique Iglesias, and Casper is the head choreographer of her show in which he also dances. It’s tough being on the road — this isn’t Jen’s first tour and she has been feeling more like Casper’s babysitter than girlfriend. Casper likes to hang out and party with the other dancers and that just isn’t Jen’s scene. She is all business and is the utmost professional. Jen is absolutely going to break up with him, they just don’t have a long term future together,” a source close to the singer tells RadarOnline.com.

As previously reported, Jennifer Lopez's twins are proving to be a real handful on mommy's current tour. According to an eyewitness, Max and Emme, both 4, have been running amok backstage while J. Lo rehearses for her sold-out concerts with Enrique — wrecking equipment and providing a general nuisance to the stage hands.

Jennifer and Casper began dating last autumn, just a few months after her seven-year marriage to Marc Anthony ended in July 2011. The first leg of J. Lo’s tour with Iglesias ends at the end of August in Miami, and the second European leg, begins in Portugal in early October. “Casper will most likely be sent packing when the tour ends in Miami. Jen admits that she fell for Casper and that he was exactly what she needed at the time to help get over her painful split with Marc, but she is just ready to move on now,” the source says.

[From Radar]

Dear Jennifer: please dump him. I’ll understand if you wait until the end of the tour and everything, but please. Please. PLEASE dump him. If you dump him, I will love you again.

Ryan Gosling shows off his perky man-cleavage in a V-neck: sexy or try-hard?

Posted: 05 Aug 2012 06:13 AM PDT

Last week, Eva Mendes suddenly reemerged in a series of candid photo-ops… or perhaps it was just a coincidence that the paparazzi magically knew when Eva would be running errands and spending time with Ryan Gosling's Mohawked dog, George. I took the photos as proof that Eva and Ryan were still very much together. But I still wasn't sure where Ryan was – I assumed he was in LA, but it looks like he was in New Orleans for most of the week, and then he just flew from NOLA to NYC. That's what these new Gosling photos show – he flew out of New Orleans and into JFK. Coincidentally (hm…), Eva was also photographed in LA yesterday. Guess what Fame/Flynet's description is? "Actress Eva Mendes seen arriving for some acting classes in Westwood." Acting classes?! Well, at least we can't complain that she isn't trying, you know?

Going back to the Gosling photos – that v-neck is little bit too much, right? I mean, even the Gosling fan-girls are like "Er… a tight v-neck that shows off his man-cleavage? RLY?" And yes, let's talk about his man-cleavage. I don't think I've ever seen a slim dude like Ryan with those kind of high, cleavage-y pecs. Jason Momoa's pecs look kind of like that, but I think Gosling has Momoa beat on "perkiness".

Oh, and I would wear the hell out of Eva's dress, but I think those pockets are a design flaw. That dress would have been perfect without the pockets.

Prince William would’ve been “embarrassed” to kiss his wife in public, on camera

Posted: 05 Aug 2012 05:40 AM PDT

First of all, does anyone else think Prince William looks really sexy is a button-down shirt, no tie and a blazer? I think royal protocol probably demands one more button to be done up, but William said, "To hell with protocol, check out a hint of my chest!" Whatever, y'all – I think he looks great in these photos. These are pics from Friday night at the aquatic center. Clearly, Kate knows she's going to be photographed constantly at these events, so she's no longer just going to run out in a youthful ponytail and a little polo shirt. Kate put a new-looking red Zara blazer (cost: around $99), and What Kate Wore hasn't identified the blouse yet. They say the jeans are some variation of the Zara skinny jeans that Kate wears all the time – she probably has multiple pairs of the same cut in different washes.

Unlike HUG-GATE 2012, William and Kate pretty much kept their hands off of each other on Friday. Kate was seen "covering her eyes, biting her nails and muttering nervously to William" as they cheered on the British Olympians in competition. Speaking of Hug-gate… a surprising amount of commentators took me way too seriously when I jokingly referred to Will & Kate's embrace last week as "scandalous". Some of you are way too earnest for your own good. That includes William, who spoke about Hug-gate (also called "The Embrace") in an interview this weekend:

England’s future King told the BBC is shy about showing a little too much affection on camera — and admitted her worried that he and Kate would be caught on “kiss-cam” inside the Velodrome.

“I was absolutely dreading they were going to come and show myself and my wife and that would have been very embarrassing,” William says of a kiss cam at the Olympic Velodrome, where the royals watched Scottish cyclist Sir Chris Hoy win gold and set a new world record in the men’s team sprint.

“That was absolutely fantastic, the world records being beaten and the atmosphere in there was electric,” William said in an interview, alongside Prince Harry, to the BBC of the golden moment.

In the interview, the brothers, who are also Olympic ambassadors, praised the British public, the military and volunteers for their work at the Games. They also expressed pride for their cousin Zara Phillips, who won silver as part of the five-member British equestrian team.

“We as cousins are very, very proud,” Harry said. “It now explains why we never get to see her because she is always riding.”

The princes also said they had no idea their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, was going to participate in the Opening Ceremonies.

“Both of us were slightly surprised with our grandmother’s secret hobby of parachuting,” Harry said of the moment when the Queen appeared to jump out of a helicopter above the Olympic Stadium with Bond star Daniel Craig.

“We were kept completely in the dark about it, that’s how big the secret was,” William said, adding, “She did such a good performance that she’s been asked to star in the next Bond film. I’m thrilled for her.”

[From People & Us Weekly]

Would it be too earnest of me to ask if the Velodrome actually has a kiss-cam? No, right? William is completely joking here? OK. Because if they really did a kiss-cam, I think it would have been cute to see Will & Kate share a public kiss. We haven't seen them kiss since their wedding day!

Here's a video of Kate and William working the room separately at the Team GB House, where they had organized a little party to say "thank you" to all of the workers and volunteers. I like how animated Kate is here – she's growing more comfortable in these types of situations. I think Kate suffered from being "over-handled" by royal handlers who were coddling her and telling her to change this and that and everything. Maybe we're seeing a new strategy – "Let Kate Be Kate."

PS… OMG, look at all of the shiny brass buttons!!!!!!!!!! BUTTONS.
