Zoe Saldana is officially a married woman following a secret wedding ceremony. She and Marco Perego secretly tied the knot in London … in June! “It was super small but very romantic and beautiful ,” a source says. The New Jersey-born, New York-raised star and the Italian artist, both 34, were first linked in mid-May, but have “known each other for a long time.” Another pal added, “They have great chemistry.” Apparently! Saldana, who had an on-again, off-again relationship with Bradley Cooper from 2011-2013, is loving life with Perego, with whom she’ll spend the rest of it. The Guardians of the Galaxy actress was previously engaged to Keith Britton, CEO of My Fashion Database. They split in 2011 after 11 years together. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
Miley Cyrus is scarcely covering herself in the music video for Wrecking Ball . But she won’t be covering an upcoming issue of American Vogue at all after using a foam finger for ways in which it was not intended at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. According to The Daily Mail , Cyrus has already been photographed for the front of the December issue of this famous magazine. But editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has axed the planned feature after witnessing Miley’s antics with Robin Thicke on a national stage in Brooklyn last month. “Anna found the whole thing distasteful ,” an insider tells the newspaper. “She decided, based on Miley’s performance, to take the cover in a different direction.” It’s unclear at this time whether or not Miley’s pics will appear inside the issue or be scraped altogether. While many have been critical of Cyrus’ lewd VMA routine – did you read what Dr. Laura said about it ?!? – this is the first time any backlash has actually affected Cyrus’ career in a negative way. It’s also clear that Vogue has much higher standards than Saturday Night Live. While Wintour has essentially banned Miley from her publication, Lorne Michaels will be welcoming her as a host and musical guest on the second episode of SNL Seasom 39.

Toni Christina Jenkins, a young Red Lobster waitress was the target of a racial slur left by a customer on a receipt, which she reported to management. In the space for gratuity, the customer wrote “None, n**ger.” Red Lobster Waitress Receives Racist Note on Receipt Christina showed the note to her boss, she says, and was assured she had done nothing wrong. But things changed when she posted it on Facebook. The Franklin, Tenn., teen was only hoping for “some prayers and support,” her mom says, when she posted the hateful note on her Facebook page. It went viral and sparked a great deal of outrage controversy, discussion, hoax theories and more racist comments. There were even reports she had been fired. Toni graduated from high school a year early, her mother says, and is waiting tables to help put herself through medical school at Belmont University. Monday, mom Tina Jenkins-Wilson told Radar that Red Lobster “let her go. They told her she could not return to work and that they were [investigating].” “They didn’t tell her they were going to pay her. They didn’t say if they were going to punish the people that did it. They just said they were going to let her off.” “It’s heartbreaking. She’s a nursing student who is trying to save up money so she can get back and forth to school. Waitressing is how she makes her money.” UPDATE : The restaurant strongly refutes this. A spokesperson for the restaurant tells THG: “Christina Jenkins has NOT been fired. In fact, she has not lost any days of work so far and is still scheduled to work this week as usual.” “We are extremely disturbed by this situation and are currently investigating to determine exactly what happened. We take this extremely seriously.” “This kind of language is completely disgusting and has no place in our restaurant or anywhere else and we are committed to getting to the bottom of what happened as quickly as possible.” That’s very good to hear. In any event, it’s unclear why the mom would be so confused or why the customer(s) left a note like that for the server. Story developing …
Desiree Hartsock, The Bachelorette star who just got engaged to Chris Siegfried on ABC, is starting a new wedding advice blog. Of course she is. Her website will focus on wedding planning and wisdom. Des, of course, is a purported expert in all things weddings, due to her bridal stylist trade. While we can – and will! – analyze the relationship of Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried until we’re blue in the face, the simple fact here remains: She is not married and may well break off her engagement. This is based on the show’s track record and notwithstanding the fact that she obviously settled for her second choice , which some say doesn’t bode well. Would you read a wedding advice blog from somehow who hasn’t taken part in a wedding as of yet? Or is that unrelated to the task of planning one? You tell us, THGers. You. Tell. Us.

Elle Macpherson is a married woman! The 49-year-old supermodel wed billionaire fiance Jeffrey Soffer in Fiji in an intimate ceremony , according to reports. No other details were available. The pair dated for two years before breaking up in March 2012. They reportedly rekindled their romance and got back together after the real estate developer injured his vertebrae in a helicopter crash later that year. Rather than confirming her engagement earlier this year, she simply wore a gigantic diamond sparkler on her ring finger in March at a charity event. Exchanging vows with Soffer marks the second marriage for Elle Macpherson , who previously married photographer Gilles Bensimon from 1986-1989. She also has two sons, Flynn, 15, and Cy, 10, from her previous, long-term relationship with London financier Arpad Busson, whom she never wed. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
While Hunger Games fans debate the hotness of Sam Claflin , we now know of one woman who is perfectly content with this actor’s looks: Laura Haddock… his new wife! The Catching Fire star exchanged vows this week with the actress (currently appearing on Da Vinci’s Demons ), as photos of the pair’s private ceremony and reception made their way around the Internet on Tuesday. Claflin and Haddock are both 27 years old and have been engaged for over 18 months. They both spoken out, in gushing terms, about their romance on multiple occasions. “How do I know she’s the one?” Claflin said in a May 2012 interview. “She’s my female counterpart is the best way to describe her. She is my mum … She reminds me of my mum so much which I think — a guy will know, right? It’s important. Your mum knows like everything.” The couple met during an audition many years ago and Claflin has said he called friends right away and say he was madly in love with Haddock. AWWW! We send these two our very best wishes!
