Orlando Bloom also explained how his life has changed since his son#39;s arrival on Jan 6. “Everything you know, all the things that you thought were important, drift into the background,” Bloom, 34, said. “And even things that were important really come to the fore and he#39;s one of them.” Like most new dads Orlando Bloom is proud of his 3-month-old son Flynn. “He#39;s my boy, he#39;s amazing,” the actor told reporters before the premiere of The Good Doctor at the Tribeca Film Festival in N
We know she’s got this big wedding thing coming up and all, but is Kate Middleton – looking very slender in a black dress and tan heels yesterday – getting too thin? A little more than one week to go before she marries Prince William on April 29, Kate stepped out for some last-minute shopping on London’s King’s Road. What do you think? Shedding for the wedding or going overboard? Personally, we think Kate still looks fabulous . Whatever she weighs, when she walks into Westminster Abbey, she should be looking radiant in her wedding dress, reportedly designed by Sophie Cranston . In the meantime, the princess-to-be has been on a shopping spree, buying around $350 worth of items – possibly for her honeymoon? – from Warehouse. [Photos: Fame Pictures]
The souvenir program cover features Prince William#39;s Coat of Arms on the front and Middleton#39;s new coat of arms on the back. Inside will be a special look at the April 29 wedding day, from the full Order of Service that guests lucky enough to be inside Westminster Abbey will use, to a personal message of thanks from the couple, to a never-before-seen photo of the royal pair taken by photographer Mario Testino. The cover of the official wedding program – or programme, as the Brits call it
Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris are not exactly your typical couple. Their June wedding will reflect their unorthodox nature accordingly. “The dress is not going to be white,” Harris says. “I love pink! So, the dress will be pink and Hef and I want the wedding to be a lot of different colors.” At least they’re on the same page , too. Plans are going smoothly! “It’s pretty great that we haven’t argued about anything yet,” the 24-year-old says. “Things that I feel strongly about, he’s okay with, and things that he feels strongly about, I’m okay with doing things his way, so it works out.” The Playboy founder, 84, is in charge of the cake (strawberry) and music. “Hef’s friend Ray Anthony, he has a band,” Harris says, “so we’re going to have a big band and then we’re going to have a deejay at the end of the evening.” Hefner’s brother Keith, 82, will serve as his best man, with Hefner’s two youngest sons, twins Marston and Cooper, 20, serving as groomsmen. Pretty cool. What won’t be involved? A prenup . Or Jordan McGraw , we’re guessing.
How nice, and rare, to see celebrity scandals end well for a change. Turns out Christina Aguilera’s boyfriend Matt Rutler was NOT too drunk to drive after all. Rutler got popped for DUI back in March, but citing insufficient evidence to prosecute, the L.A. District Attorney determined he won’t be charged with a crime. That’s because his blood alcohol content was ultimately determined to be .06, or under California’s legal limit to operate a vehicle, .08. So why was he busted? Matt has even more to smile about now that he’s in the clear! Aguilera, a passenger in the car at the time, was busted for public drunkenness when officers determined she was too plowed to take care of herself . Matt Rutler was likely arrested on suspicion of DUI by association. Hours after the arrest, officials decided they would not pursue any charges against the singer. Now they’ve exonerated her man, as well. Good for them. Well, except for the whole downward spiral thing.

Hoo boy, that Lifetime movie about royal newlyweds-to-be Prince William and Kate Middleton sounds amazing : “The film has sparked a worldwide media frenzy, according to its promoters.

Prince William will not be wearing a wedding ring after he marries longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton later this month. “There is only going to be one ring, in accordance with the couple’s wishes,” a source told PEOPLE . Kate Middleton will have a wedding band, and it will be made from a tiny amount of Welsh gold mined from the mountains. It has been kept in the royal vaults since originally presented to William’s grandmother Queen Elizabeth. We would have been more likely to agree with this decision had it been part of a tradition or something, but it’s not – William’s father Prince Charles wears a wedding ring.
