Peaches Geldof jetted out to join fiery dad Sir Bob on a sunshine holiday yesterday — for showdown talks over her whirlwind marriage in Las Vegas.

The Live Aid hero’s rebel daughter, 19, boarded a plane at Gatwick to face the music in Majorca — MINUS her wedding ring.

Sources said former Boomtown Rat Sir Bob, 56, summoned her to explain getting hitched to US rocker Max Drummey — her boyfriend of just four weeks.

One said: “The whole family has been shocked by Peaches getting married. Bob has given his blessing from a distance — but he wants to talk to her face to face. This is her big chance to explain what has been going on.”

Yesterday the teenager’s new hubby also ditched his wedding band — as he and the vocalist in his indie rock duo Chester French took to the stage in Los Angeles. Drummey, 23, said: “I don’t like wearing it when I play — it gets in the way.”

His gig at the Spaceland club in Silverlake still kicked off in disaster as his guitar jammed during the opening song. Quizzed on his way into the concert about how the 15-minute wedding went, the American declared: “It was nice, thanks.”

Drummey, who refused to take his sunglasses off throughout the entire ceremony, was also asked if he had been drunk when he and Peaches tied the knot with a photographer acting as witness.

He insisted: “No — it was early in the morning.”

His bride, who last week flew home from the US, is expected to spend the weekend with her father on the Spanish isle before returning to England.

The source said: “Bob’s told her that he will support her as long as she assures him it’s a serious relationship and not a stunt. He just wants Peaches to be straight with him and tell him the facts.”

Now that homosexual marriage is ok in CA, folks are lining up to wed. Next up, Ellen DeGeneres and long time love Portia de Rossi.

Apparently they have the big date set but are keeping hush on many of the details. Ellen says that some big people are performing and part of the wedding will be aired on her daytime talk show.

She presented Portia with a beautiful Neil Lane pink diamond ring in celebration.

It’s the year for celeb weddings. This time it is Geri Halliwell that is getting married.

The former Spice Girls star - who has a two-year-old daughter Bluebell - is planning a September wedding with her backing dancer partner Ivan ‘Flipz’ Velez.

A source said: ‘Geri has a huge diamond and an even bigger grin on her face now that she and Ivan are marrying. It’s been a whirlwind affair but when you know, you know and she doesn’t care if she’s criticized for being hasty. Her daughter loves Ivan and that’s the only opinion she cares about.’

The ceremony will reportedly take place at London’s St. Bride’s church, often dubbed the ‘writer’s church’ because it is located on Fleet Street the former home of many newspapers, after Geri recently launched a new career as a children’s novelist.

The source added: ‘She’s always wanted to be a September bride.’

Geri, who met ‘Flipz’ during the Spice Girls reunion tour, recently revealed she is considering adopting.

She said: “I have a sister and would love to be able to give Bluebell that gift. I feel I have the capacity to love a child that’s not mine in blood. Before I had Bluebell, even a long time ago, I thought about adoption. I’m open to what life brings.”

Kate Moss is set to have a gothic-themed wedding.

The supermodel - who is rumoured to be tying the knot with her rocker lover Jamie Hince in September - is keen for her nuptials to have a rocky edge and wants a dark-coloured wedding gown.

A source said: “Kate has asked a designer friend to come up with ideas for her dress. The full-skirted gown would be either in purple or black and have vintage rock ‘n’ roll charms as the trimming.”

It has previously been claimed Kate and Jamie have booked a former power station for their wedding reception. The couple have hired Wapping Food, also known as the Wapping Project, in East London, for the star-studded bash.

A source said: “They have booked the entire venue. It will be quite a party. The wedding will be quite intimate. This will be the big event for all their friends.”

Magazines and TV reporters can often be caught in a lie but I’m sure a man of God hardly ever is. A clergyman for the National Church of God in the Caribbean confirmed to People that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon did get married. Bishop Clifford Petty said that he was the one who presided over the singer and actor’s wedding. Combine his statement and the fact that the couple has gotten their hands on a marriage license in the Bahamas and boom – the marriage is a fact. According to a local official “It’s still a valid marriage even if it’s not filed. Anywhere in the world.”

You know, these two are on-again, off-again. This time, they are on-again. Rumors are flying now that they are engaged and have been telling friends that they can’t wait to get married.

Morgan’s rep isn’t making a comment right now. If the couple does get married, they will be husband and wife both on screen in Weeds and off. Morgan will join Parker’s family with her son William and her recently adopted African daughter.

Even though they only placed second, the U.S. Figure Skating Championships were perfect for couple John Baldwin and Rena Inoue. The two have skated together for seven years, and this weekend, John decided they needed to spend the rest of their lives together, too.

After they finished their routine, John dropped to one knee on the ice and asked her to marry him. As she stood, silent in astonishment, the crowd started chanting, “Yes! Yes!” She did say yes, and the two couldn’t be happier.

Who said that you can only wear a wedding dress once and just for walking down the aisle? That may be the general rule but we’re all aware that when it comes to Britney Spears, there are no rules. People is reporting that the pop wreck was seen wearing her wedding dress from her walk down the aisle with KFed while she was shopping for a new car with her pap friend.

Brit and her boy toy dropped by a Mercedes-Benz dealership so that the photographer can check out some new wheels and finally get rid of his rental car. A sales associate said that Brit was quiet and did not appear that she would be buying a car. It’s a miracle! She has a brain!

New mom Christina Aguilera just posted this cute graphic on her official website and finally gave us details about her happy baby news. Max Liron Bratman was born on Saturday night and not Friday like originally reported. She also posted a message and a video for all her fans.

The singer put together a special video for the song ‘Save Me From Myself’ which came off of her ‘Back to Basics’ album. The video even features actual footage from her and husband Jordan’s personal wedding video. Christina says that it was a little something to say ‘thank you’ for the undying love and support.

Billie Piper enters the New Year as a married woman after tieing the knot this afternoon with fiancé Laurence Fox.

The classy 50-minute affair was a million miles apart from the actress’ first wedding to radio star Chris Evans in Las Vegas, 2001. Billie - who rejected big money offers in favour of a private day with family and close friends - looked stunning in a low-cut ivory formal wedding dress with a black coat draped over her shoulders.

The 25-year-old was accompanied by four bridesmaids in short purple dresses. The bridegroom, 29, arrived 45 minutes before the ceremony was due to start.

Perhaps he was threatened with certain death if he was late? Or maybe he is just an attentive husband-to-be. Either way it seemed to have gone without a hitch. Congratulations to the happy couple.

Las Vegas star Josh Duhamel got down on one knee some time over the holiday season and popped the question and asked long time girlfriend Fergie to marry him. Josh’s rep confirmed the news to TMZ that he recently proposed, so we’re not sure when it happened but that it did. Congrats to the happy couple!

The 35-year old Fergie and the 32-year old Josh have been dating on and off since September of 2004. The singer even appeared in an episode of Las Vegas alongside the other members of the Black Eyed Peas in the episode entitled ‘Montecito Lancers’ which aired on November 1, 2004.

She’s had no problem expressing her affection and stating her desire to become Mrs. MacArthur. Now, she’s gonna get her wish.

Ali Landry of Heroes fame and her longtime boyfriend Hayes MacArthur were engaged over the weekend. No dates have been set for a wedding.

Ali says, “I told my boyfriend after three weeks that I wanted to marry him and that we could do it tomorrow. I look forward to that time when I’m home with babies.

Any of my readers already know that I get a bid fed up with reporting stars’ drug, violence or alcohol issues, and get really pleased when I can tell you all about weddings, births and engagements. Well, this is me really happy…announcing yet another engagement in the star struck world.

Despite conflicting claims that she had turned down the proposal, Delta Goodrem has accepted the offer of being “his lawful wedded wife” from former Westlife singer, Brian McFadden. Original news had claimed she said she felt too young to settle down, but the couple are eager to quell these rumours; proud to announce their forthcoming nuptials.

Big congratulations to the happy couple, I love it when cheerful news is afloat. We await eagerly more news of the wedding.

It’s normally something you expect to hear about middle age spinsters desperate for a man to fulfill their lives…or something like that. But recently, hip-hop star Kanye West has admitted he is desperate to be married.

Woah girls! Slow down! Before you all rush to volunteer, the hunky singer has already found his perfect woman.

I know, I know; I can here the groans of disappointment from here. But Kayne insists, “I wouldn’t get married to prove anything to anyone - it’s for me, for stability in my life, and I’m so happy that I found someone that I really love, that challenges me that keeps my life interesting, that’s just as crazy as I am.”

Following the recent death of his mother, Donda, he reveals he has realized how precious life can be, and is fully ready to marry his loving supportive fiancé, Alexis Phifer.

Isn’t it romantic? All together now… awwwww!

Colombian pop superstar Shakira has yet to start planning for her wedding to fiancé Antonio De La Rua - because she’s “too busy”. The 30-year-old - who announced her engagement to the son of former Argentinean president Fernando de la Rua in March 2001 - admits her nuptials have been put on hold as a result of her packed work schedule. If she is already engaged and is still sticking to her man then I think she should give her commitments a break and enjoy life and bask under the glories of a moon light life of being wedded. Work is important but so is life itself, you have to have a feel of all the virtues that life as a bachelor and life as a couple provides. Well we’ll leave it up to her to decide when she wants to tie the knot, but till then and even after she has tied the know I’d like her to keep giving up the super numbers that she has given us to date, you rock Shakira and we follow your music coz that rocks as well.

After a turbulent year behind the scenes, Ellen Pompeo now gives the mood on the set of Grey’s Anatomy a clean bill of health – though things have changed with the departure of cast members Kate Walsh and Isaiah Washington.

“It does feel different,” Pompeo told at L.A. Confidential magazine’s annual Emmy party, celebrating her cover shoot. “I love change. I think when one door opens or closes, another one opens. The seasons change and everything changes and I think change is good.”

“It’s good to turn over the dirt,” she continued of the show’s fourth season. “It feels nice and there’s new beginnings for everybody and it feels great.”

Walsh now has her own spin-off, Private Practice, and Washington will appear on the new show Bionic Woman after his firing from Grey’s in the controversy over his use of a homophobic slur.

“They’re missed, of course,” says Pompeo. “But I’m also very happy and very hopeful for their new beginnings. You know, they’re both taking on whole new chapters in their careers, which I think is really exciting for them. So, to sort of think about how it affects us is rather selfish. We just have to hope that their new endeavors are as successful, and I just wish them the best.”

Pompeo’s feelings were seconded by her Emmy-nominated co-star T.R. Knight. “It’s been going really well,” he told Sunday at a party celebrating the Emmy-nominated television producers, including Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes.

Though Knight said he’s excited to be working new cast member Chyler Leigh, he is missing his pal, Walsh.

“I just went to her wedding this weekend and so luckily we’ll still see her, but what she brought to the show and on set and her humor we’ll miss her a lot,” Knight said.

Pompeo was joined at the L.A. Confidential party by her finacé, music executive Chris Ivery. The actress said she and Ivery aren’t in the midst of any wedding plans, and don’t expect to have a traditional ceremony.

“To me a wedding is a piece of paper,” she said. “I don’t think it’s going to change how we feel about each other. Every day is like a wedding when I wake up with him. We just have something so special. I don’t need a big dress or four hundred people there to declare my love. I think we declare it every day to each other. So that’s just our way. Different for different people.”

Courtney Thorne-Smith has been on television for several years now. Some of us remember her from the trashy prime time soap opera days of “Melrose Place”. Currently she is starring opposite Jim Belushi on his hit TV show, “According to Jim”. Her spokesperson has recently confirmed to the press that she is expecting her first child with her husband Roger Fishman. It will also be the couple’s first wedding anniversary this January. Another nice happy story coming out of tinsel town. These stories are starting to pop up more often lately. It seems to be a nice way of balancing out all of the trash and diva stories. One can only take so much drug and anorexia talk before a break is needed. There is no word yet on how the pregnancy will fit into the show. Perhaps they will write it in for some laughs. If not then sitcoms have that classic way of hiding it while making it totally obvious.

With friends and family arriving in Paris for their wedding on Saturday, Tony Parker swept Eva Longoria off for a surprise Fourth of July visit to one of the world’s most romantic sites. On Tuesday afternoon, the couple stole off from their Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome suite, heading out to the Paris Heliport to fly to a mystery destination. Their destination, in fact, was France’s picturesque Mont Saint-Michel, a 6th-century medieval citadel nestled within a large sea-fed inlet bay celebrated for its isolation and captivating views. The location is so unusual that it was classified a world heritage site by UNESCO in l979 and is France’s third most visited attraction. Hey man, the two are completely lost in love and there are having a ball out their in Paris, this is so romantic and surely an out of the world experience for Eva. This was totally Tony’s idea and he must he really enjoyed seeing the smile on her face.

With just about a week to go for their wedding, Eva and Basketball star Tony Parker have made plans to throw a bachelor and bachelorette parties in the same location in St. Tropez, a French resort. Seems that the two would like to have the opportunity to party full throttle one last time before they tie the nuptials and what better way than to have all the VIP invitees party with them all night in true Hollywood style. The Desperate Housewives star will take one half of the guest and Tony shall be taking the other half. Eva has reportedly taken care of the planning for the wedding. But Tony has had the idea of this bachelor party for a long time. Now there are prizes for guessing that what mayhem and naughty things would take place during the two separate parties, just imagine all the fun an all female and another an all male party would be having and it makes for a good gossip tale to hear about the next morning.

Liz Hurley recently got married to long time boy friend of Indian origin Arun Nayar at a lavish wedding ceremony that took place in England and then in India according to Indian traditions. Now it seems that the marriage has not brought her good luck, at least till now. In fact the British beauty has been dropped as the face of the American apparel company Jordache. And, to add insult to injury, the company has chosen German super model Heidi Klum as their new face instead. It was just last year that the clothing company has signed a deal with Hurley. Reportedly Klum has already finished the filming of a new advertisement campaign for the jeans line last week with the Rush Hour director Mr. Brett Ratner behind the camera. This is a severe blow to Hurley as this is the second contract she has been dropped from, she lost the contract with fashion label Monsoon in late March for someone younger.

Abhishek Bachchan and Ashwariya Rai are two of the best looking people in the Indian film industry.

The media were not allowed anywhere near the function. Abhishek has slowly and steadily climbed the ladder of success with major hits in the past two years after being not too successful in the beginning of his carrier. Ashwariya though had an easy passage into the industry as she was a Miss India and Miss World. Both the couple are brand ambassadors for various international companies and enjoy huge fan following in India. The star couple are now going to the Cannes Film Festival as a part of the Indian delegation to promote Bollywood.
