Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to Wed This Weekend??

Preparations for a huge party at the home of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have sparked speculation that the couple will tie the knot THIS WEEKEND. It’s probably just that – speculation – but guests, including Brad’s parents, have arrived in France ahead of the couple’s bash at Chateau Miraval. The jeweler Robert Procop, who crafted Angelina’s $250,000 diamond and platinum engagement ring, is also believed to be in attendance. So … Guests are said to include Brad’s A-list friend George Clooney, who is currently just a short flight away at his home on Lake Como, Italy. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s engagement in April, after seven years and six children, immediately gave way to the obligatory wedding rumors. A source told The Sun (UK) newspaper: “Brad flew in to oversee preparations but they’re all here now. They say the party is for [his parents] Bill and Jane Pitt , but some think this could be it.” “There’s a real buzz around the estate.” Whenever it occurs, it is believed that Brangelina will wed in a private chapel on the grounds of their home, a modest $50 million estate in the South of France. After their engagement was announced it was revealed that a huge reception hall was under construction on the property – next to a quaint chapel. Makes you wonder!

The Bachelorette Preview: Final Three Revealed?

The producers of The Bachelorette are running a tight ship this season, with little or no information thus far about who wins Emily Maynard’s final rose. At the same time, two extended previews airing at the end of last night’s episode on ABC revealed plenty of details for those who paid attention. The first preview, for next Monday’s episode, is comprised of clips entirely from Croatia … with Ryan emerging as the latest of this season’s villains . Or so it would appear. In any case, it gets much more revealing than that. The Bachelorette Episode 806 Promo The second part of the preview involves clips from later this season, and shows the guys rumored to be Emily’s final three with her in Curacao. We’ll withhold names in case you haven’t seen it or really don’t know, but you can see all three different fellas on dates with her in the tropics. Emily has clearly grown close to all three already, so it’s no surprise that she drops the obligatory “falling in love with several people” line. What is surprising? The lack of final rose ceremony clips, even of just Emily. Either all The Bachelorette season finale footage is under total lockdown in a bank vault somewhere, or we’re in for a non-traditional ending. Could it be that the Southern Belle doesn’t even hold a final rose ceremony, and chooses her mate straight from the final three, not two? Just one theory, but it may have merit. As always, stay tuned.

American Idol Results: Who Made the Finals?

I love you guys so much because you have the courage to have a dream. That’s what Steven Tyler told the remaining three American Idol contestants tonight. Alas, for one of Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet, the dream is now over. So… following a painful Ice Age 3 tie-in and a performance by Adam Lambert , who got voted out of season 11? JOSHUA LEDET! The talented crooner takes it very well and even brings his mom on stage as he sings farewell via “Man’s Man’s Man’s World.” This leaves Jessica Sanchez, likely the best voice of the season, and Phillip Phillips, the obligatory cute-white-guy-with-a-guitar-who-wins-every-season, to square off on next week’s finale. Do you think Ledet deserved to be voted off? Who will win American Idol?

Donald Driver Pays Tribute to Fallen Friend on Dancing With the Stars

Green Bay Packers star Donald Driver’s tribute to a friend who died of cancer was one of the emotional high moments of Dancing With the Stars this week. “I can never get it out of my mind,” the NFL player said. “He died right there in my arms. I grabbed his hand and all he could do is look up. He took another breath and that was it,” he added, tearing up. Like Katherine Jenkins ‘ dance for her late father, Driver’s effort with Peta Murgatroyd was somber, yet with ample energy and uplifting emotion: Donald Driver & Peta Murgatroyd – Rumba (DWTS Week 3) He carried her across a fog-filled dance floor and began a deliberate series of interpretive dance moves, at one point on his knees as she fell into his arms. Their routine concluded with Peta atop a staircase as if going toward the light. The judges expressed minor quibbles, but all praised Driver’s performance. With a strong 26 points, Donald and Peta ended the evening in sole possession of fourth place out of 11 pairings. They should be safe, don’t you agree?

Maria Menounos and Derek Hough Possibly Kiss, Definitely Heat up Dancing With the Stars

Maria Menounos and Derek Hough may not have turned in the best routine on Monday’s Dancing With the Stars ( Katherine Jenkins and William Levy both edged them on the scoreboard), or the most emotional ( Donald Driver wins there). Their rumba was hands down the steamiest, however. Somewhere between rumba and racy, Maria and Derek ended up panting on the floor. The tandem may have shared more than choreography, or something: Maria Menounos & Derek Hough – Rumba (DWTS Week 3) It sure looked like they kissed, and let’s face it, these two are a great fit for the obligatory DWTS dating rumor mill. Their physical chemistry is palpable. Of course, Maria and Derek played it cool when chatting with Brooke Burke, opting not to answer the obvious question: Did they or didn’t they kiss? But will they stick around after tonight? That’s a definite yes.

The CW Casts Carrie Bradshaw!

The CW has tracked down its Carrie Bradshaw. Relatively unknown actress AnnaSophia Robb ( Soul Surfer , Charlie and the Chocolate Factor ) has landed this highly sought after role. She’ll portray a teenage version of the character Sarah Jessica Parker made famous on The Carrie Diaries , an upcoming pilot based on Candance Bushnell’s prequel of a novel. The series will follow around Carrie during her high school days in New York City and be set in the 1980s. It had originally been pitched as a movie – with Blake Lively, Selena Gomez and Elizabeth Olsen in key roles – but The CW swept in a few weeks ago and purchased the television script rights. What do you think of Robb as Carrie Bradshaw?

Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel to Wed This Summer

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake ‘s recent engagement spawned the obligatory rumors of when and where the gorgeous couple will tie the knot. To wit … The uber-private couple is staying mum on the details . Big surprise. Still, some tidbits are getting out, since as who Biel’s eyeing as a dress designer and when exactly the big day’s going down. Approximately, at least. According to insiders, the wedding will take place this summer at a private estate. The quiet couple will have a small, secret ceremony with no press. Again, major shocker there. As for the dress, Jess has her eye on Monique Lhuillier – one of the premiere designers for A-listers – as her “number one choice” for her wedding gown. Not that there are photos to prove it, but Jessica Biel finally debuted the engagement ring at a Saturday Night Live after-party in NYC last weekend. One source who laid eyes on it at the party says the engagement ring actually “wasn’t huge” and “looked vintage and might have been custom made.” Hmm. Once worn by Justin’s grandma perhaps?

Cheryl Cole and Derek Hough: Back On!

British pop star / X Factor judge Cheryl Cole and Dancing With the Stars professional Derek Hough have reconciled their relationship, according to reports. He allegedly dumped her last spring (or got dumped by her, depending on what you read), but apparently neither can resist each other … or Coldplay. They were caught canoodling in the audience at a recent show! The pair, who started dating in early 2010 after the former split with her husband, then split in mid-2011, reportedly began seeing each other again recently. Enter the obligatory romance-rekindling Coldplay concert. A witness said of Cole and Hough: “They were really slushy. He stood with his arms round her waist as they mouthed the words to each other for ‘Fix You’.” Who doesn’t want to drop their pants when that comes on? [Photo: WENN.com]
