Ian Ziering and Erin Ludwig: Married!

June 1, 2010


Ian Ziering is officially spoken for! Again!

The former Beverly Hills: 90210 star married love Erin Ludwig at Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Beach, Calif. on Friday, just as the sun was starting to set.

The couple exchanged vows on a gazebo overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Celebrating with the couple were several 90210 alumni and significant others:

  • Jason Priestley and his wife Naomi
  • Jennie Garth and her husband, Eclipse star Peter Facinielli
  • Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox, who were said to be  “very affectionate” during the bash, according to reliable observers quoted by Us.

Congratulations to Ian Ziering and Erin Ludwig!

The pair spent their first married night together at a villa on the Pelican Hill property. Their next door neighbors for the night? Jessica Alba and Cash Warren on one side, Britney Spears and Jason Trawick on the other.

Wonder if Jamie Spears had an adjoining room too. Kidding!

Ziering announced his engagement to Erin Ludwig in February of this year. A romantic photo of the actor sharing a champagne toast with Ludwig (who wears an engagement ring) is captioned, “So in love with my love am I.” What a romantic.

Miley Cyrus Tours Globe, Changes Up Her Look


It’s been a busy week for Miley Cyrus.

She has sung about Nick Jonas in Portugal, blabbed to Billboard magazine about her new album and bashed Fox’s Glee, along with musicals in general.

In between, Miley has rocked a few different looks, both on stage and on the street.

First, it was the retro, bathing suit-type outfit; then, your basic, black leather; after that, Cyrus actually resembled a 17-year old again, greeting fans in France.

WHICH LOOK IS HER BEST?

Heidi Montag-Spencer Pratt Separation Confirmed; No Divorce Papers Filed … Yet


Ever since it was reported over the weekend, The Hills fans and celebrity gossip readers across the world began pondering the obvious question:

Is Heidi and Spencer Pratt’s shocking breakup for real?

Yes, says Heidi’s rep, who confirms the separation, effective early last week, to Us Weekly, but explains that nothing legal has been filed … yet.

“Heidi is going through a difficult time and hopes people respect her privacy,” the rep hilariously says, as if Heidi ever sought privacy in her life.

A friend says the Heidi Montag-Spencer Pratt split was her idea, though “there are no plans for divorce. They are going through issues. It’s a hiccup.”

The source claims Speidi was blindsided by TMZ’s Friday report, which divulged that the ‘Tag was moving out. Controlling the press no more!

“She was bummed that it came out,” the pal says. Heidi, who’s said to be moving in with Jen Bunney, “wanted things to be more settled first.”

The Bunney, an aspiring doctor who’s in a long-distance relationship, will also be filming the world’s worst reality show with Heidi … supposedly.

Together, their lives’ “huge turning points” will be featured, Jen says. “Is [Heidi] going to be a single, independent woman or stay with Spencer?”

“We know fame is fleeting, and that fame is not going to support us for the rest of our lives. We need to make smart decisions right now.”

Wait … Jennifer Bunney is supported by fame now?

The recently-resurfaced, one-time minor Hills player also says Heidi felt an obligation to the MTV show to stick it out until the show wrapped.

Otherwise, she might have left Spencer earlier. According to Bunney, Heidi has not made up her mind on whether she’ll divorce her hubby.

Stay tuned. And pick your side:

Justin Bieber Teams Up With Jaden Smith


Jaden Smith is the son of one of the biggest movie stars on the planet.

As a result, he’s starring in a remake of The Karate Kid, one of the most beloved films in cinematic history.

But in case it wasn’t clear that Jaden was the luckiest youngster in Hollywood, consider this: he duets with Justin Bieber on the flick’s theme song, “Never Say Never.”

Let’s just hope Smith didn’t touch Justin at any point during their time together. We know how much the singer hates that

Bradley: I relate to the Elephant Man



A-Team star Bradley Cooper is an A-list Hollywood hunk these days, but it hasn’t always been that way. “I’ve never lived the life of ‘Oh, you’re so good-looking,’” he says in the June/July issue of Details. In fact, Bradley confesses that when he was a kid, he felt like such an outcast that he felt a special bond with “Elephant Man” Joseph Merrick, a victim of a disfiguring disease who was a sideshow attraction in Victorian England. “I became obsessed with him,” he explains, adding that when he saw David Lynch’s movie The Elephant Man on TV, “I was crying. I couldn’t move. He was a beautiful guy. He had tremendous hope. He struggled to be a man — because he was a man.” Bradley confesses that he’d stare in the mirror and imagine himself to be the Elephant Man, and credits the experience with him wanting to become an actor. His obsession didn’t stop there. Bradley says he “literally went to London and saw the cloak that Merrick wore” and played Merrick onstage for his graduate thesis at the Actors Studio. His connection to Merrick continues even to this day, as Bradley still fixates on his flaws when he looks at his action hero body in the mirror. “Even in that body I’m in, I still saw the flaws, absolutely,” he says, although he laughingly admits he knows it sounds silly. “Oh, this is going to sound like, ‘What a [jerk]. Oh, you really feel like the Elephant Man?’”

Charlie Sheen to Cop Plea, Go to Jail


According to multiple sources, there’s no longer any question over whether or not Charlie Sheen will spend time in jail for his Christmas Day assault against wife Brooke Mueller.

The troubled actor is most definitely headed to the slammer. Sheen is prepared to agree to a plea bargain that will include approximately 30 days behind bars.

“Charlie intends to go to court on June 7 [to] plead to a misdemeanor and immediately begin serving his 30 days in jail,” said an insider. “With good behavior, he could end up doing 15 or so days.”

One Troubled Actor

Let’s all hope Charlie Sheen gets up close and personal with fellow inmates in a very different way this month.

Incredibly, Sheen had the option of avoiding prison and accepting probation – but he actually deemed probation too risky, which is basically a case of the star admitting that he can’t remain out of trouble.

The actor will go to Aspen next Monday, enter a no-contest plea to third degree assault and have his felony menacing charge dropped.

In the end, for allegedly holding a knife to the throat of Mueller, Sheen will receive a pay raise from CBS and spend about two weeks in jail.

Ain’t justice grand for celebrities?

Al Gore, Wife Tipper to Divorce


In sad and unexpected news from the political world, former Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper Gore are calling it quits after four decades together.

The environmental advocate and his spouse have announced, via an e-mail to friends, that they are separating. Their 40th anniversary was just last month.

“We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate,” stated the e-mail, first obtained by Politico.com.

“This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.”

The Gores’ brief, joint statement concluded: “We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”

Al and Tipper Gore

Married since May 1970, Al and Tipper Gore are splitting up.

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, The Associated Press reports, but declined to elaborate on the matter.

Al Gore became the highest-profile advocate for environmental and climate change issues since losing the 2000 Presidential election by a razor-thin margin.

Tipper Gore is known for advocacy on mental health issues, and for an active role in the Parents Music Resource Center during her husband’s time in office.

Al, 61, and Tipper, 60, have four grown children: Karenna, Kristin, Sarah and Al Gore III. We wish the spouses and their kids the best in this tough time.

Sarah Ferguson blames it on the alcohol

Like Jamie Foxx famously sang, Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson is attributing her recent scandal to the sauce. In an episode to air on June 1, the Duchess of York tells Oprah Winfrey that she became involved in a shady business deal due to bad judgment while intoxicated. “I haven’t faced the devil in the face because I was in the gutter at that moment,” she explains to the talk show hostess. “So I’m aware of the fact that I’ve been drinking, that I was not in my right place.” In a sting video set up by a UK newspaper, the rock-bottom royal accepted $40,000 from an undercover reporter in exchange for a professional relationship with her ex-husband, British trade representative Prince Andrew. “I very deeply regret the situation and the embarrassment caused,” the mother of two previously said about the debacle, which broke last week.
