Pete and Ashlee are gearing up for their wedding this weekend, and the groom-to-be had some male support at a low-key bachelor party at Mr. Chow last night. The guest list was small, but included Joel Madden, his future father-in-law Joe Simpson, and his own dad. That's just the beginning of the wedding gossip, though, and here's the rundown of what else we're hearing:
It's a good thing Pete knows what he's getting into with Joe, since Papa Simpson's constant involvement and unsolicited advice is supposedly part of the reason Tony dumped Jessica.
Pete and Ash have been shopping around the photos of the upcoming ceremony and supposedly People snagged the rights for more than a million.
The wedding will supposedly take place in Ashlee's parents' backyard in Encino.
With the wedding coming up tomorrow, we can expect many more details to be leaked over the next few days, so stay tuned for all things Simpson/Wentz family and wedding related.
Sounds like Suri Cruise might be ready to be a star already. Tom and Katie brought their fashionable 2-year-old to tap class in LA yesterday. Look at those tap shoes — so adorable and the perfect addition to her growing collection. After a week of visiting Connor on set — not to mention her, uh, parents in the business — little Suri's already honing her own talent. While a tap class full of 2-year-olds sounds pretty precious all around, I bet little Suri stole the show.

Mariah Carey cuddled close to her man Nick Cannon after stopping for a few photo ops on the cement carpet at an Operation Smile Event in NYC last night. Nick played DJ for the night, while his new wife went about her duties as ambassador for the organization. The happy couple didn't need any coaxing to flash their own big smiles, and of course they had to remind us all how much they love being married. Mariah called it a "stone smash" while Nick said, "It's a beautiful situation . . . carrying on and on each day." Is anyone getting a little tired of this new couple or are you guys just eating up all of their sugar-coated, rollercoaster-riding goodness?
Yesterday while taping her show that airs today, Ellen DeGeneres made an important announcement to the audience. Just hours after the California Supreme Court overturned legislation banning same sex marriage, the talk show host announced plans to walk down the aisle with her longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi! Check out the announcement below; so sweet with Portia in the audience. Ellen also released this statement to The Advocate in response to the legislation:
I’m thrilled that the California supreme court overturned the ban on gay marriage. I can’t wait to get married. We all deserve the same rights, and I believe that someday we’ll look back on this and not allowing gays to marry will seem as absurd as not allowing women to vote.
P.S. I’m registered at Crate & Barrel.
Congratulations to Ellen and Portia, one of our favorite duos, and couples all over California who are celebrating the excellent news!
Keira Knightley has been keeping a low profile since the Elle UK Style Awards back in February, but yesterday she was spotted shopping and strolling with her mom in Paris. It wasn't all family time, because just streets away her man Rupert Friend was hard at work on his new film, Cheri. Keira's days of taking it easy are numbered, though, because pretty soon she'll start promoting her new film with Sienna, The Edge of Love (formerly The Best Time of Our Lives). Check out the trailer — it looks gorgeous, but seriously can you imagine if LL hadn't dropped out at the last minute?
Jenna Dewan walked down the street in Beverly Hills looking extremely chic and poised. Her structured white blazer framed her body perfectly, and paired well over her draped fringe Haute Hippie halter which she wore with denim leggings and over-the-knee brown boots.
