Jovovich, 33, donned a self-designed 60’s-style mini dress for the occassion, and walked down the backyard aisle decorated with red and white floral arrangements to compliment the couple’s Spanish-style house.

Before the ceremony, those in attendance enjoyed a cocktail reception by the pool, where they were serenaded by a traditional Spanish guitarist and a female vocalist.

Those in attendance in the 50-strong audience included Grey’s Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian, as well as the couple’s 20-month-old daughter, Ever Gabo.

Katherine Jackson May File Wrongful Death Suit

While the dust seems to have finally settled on Michael Jackson and his family after the singer’s June 25 death, his mother Katherine is reportedly mulling over filing a wrongful death suit in connection with the singer’s fatal cardiac arrest.

If a wrongful death suit is filed, it will more than likely be against Dr. Murray, who has admitted to injecting Jackson with the powerful hospital-grade anesthetic drug Propofol just hours before the singer suffered a heart attack and died.

Katherine Jackson’s lawyer, Burt Levitch, said in a statement today:

“The possibility of a wrongful death action has been floated. In that regard, no decision has been finalized.

“Dr. Murray’s name has been floated [as a possible defendant in the potential lawsuit] because he is under investigation.”

At this stage in the investigation into Jackson’s death, his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, is still the prime suspect in any manslaughter charges that may be brought against those medicos who had provided the King of Pop with dangerous anesthetics to use in his home.

“So You Think You Can Dance” Star Charged With Rape

Alex Da Silva, a former choreographer on the hit U.S. reality show So You Think You Can Dance has been arrested on suspicion of rape… again.

According to police, Da Silva was arrested this morning at his North Hollywood home for allegedly sexually assaulting four women. However, because of his previous arrest involving rape claims (for which he was never formally charged), the choreographer is being slapped with eight felony counts of assault.

The charges are as follows:

- Four counts of forcible rape

- Two counts of assault with intent to commit rape; and

- Two counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object.

The alleged assaults took place between August 2002 and March 2009, according to the District Attorney, who filed the arrest warrant earlier today. The victims – four women between the ages of 20-26 – were all “aspiring dancers” who met Da Silva through his instructional dance classes.

Da Silva was previously arrested for the rape of four women back in April, but the case was thrown out the window without charge, with prosecutors admitting that further investigation was needed before they could move forward with actual charges.

It looks like now they’ve got the proof they needed.

Da Silva is being held on $6.2 million bail.

I guess this means he can kiss his SYTYCD contract goodbye.

Robin Wright Penn Files For Divorce

There’s no hope of a reconciliation between Robin Wright Penn and her estranged husband, movie great Sean Penn, with the actress filing for divorce in a California court last week.

The papers, filed by Wright Penn in a Marin County court on August 12, state that “both parties have already agreed to [shared] custody” of their son, Hopper Jack, 16, and that they have “already agreed to division of all property.”

“Irreconcilable differences” was listed as the reason behind the split.

This is the second time the Penn’s have filed papers for a divorce since their 1996 marriage, with the couple previously reconciling as recently as May of this year.

Lawyers for both parties weren’t readily available for comment.

Channing Tatum Was a Stripper

Channing Tatum, the new star of  blockbuster action film G.I. Joe, was once a stripper, according to footage obtained by Usmagazine.com today.

The 29-year-old actor, who recently tied the knot with Step Up co-star Jenna Dewan, was part of a Chippendales-style revue called Male Encounter in 1999, and performed under the alias “Chan Crawford.”

The troupe’s former owner, London Steele, said an 18-year-old Tatum approached her about a job in early 1999, and ended up working as a lip-syncing stripper in her now-defunct Florida nightclub for about a year.

“He was shy at first,” Steele said, “but he really knew how to work the stage.”

“The women went crazy for him!” she added.

While none of the members of Tatum’s troupe ever stripped right down to the nude – the revue had a strict no-nudity policy – Tatum’s hot dance moves caught the eye of a female casting agent in the audience, and scored himself subsequent roles in Ricky Martin’s She Bangs music video, and the 2006 dance flick hit, Step Up.

Twilight Nudity Scandal

Everybody’s favourite female vampire, Alice – aka Ashley Greene – is feeling a bit sheepish this morning, after nude photos of the young actress somehow found their way to the internet.

The Twilight star is now threatening legal action against those who publish the naked shots, with Greene’s lawyer releasing a statement to the media a short time ago:

“The photos in question, which appear to be of our client, are illegal and are being unlawfully displayed. Our client intends to take legal action.”

Since we here at Staralicious.com don’t particularly want to have a lawsuit slapped against us, we’ll link you to those who’ve already posted the shots instead. So, if you want to see Ashley Green in the nuddie, click here.

At least Greene can be satisfied that she’s now joined the young Hollywood elite, in the same club as nude scandal regulars Vanessa Hudgens and Miley Cyrus (both Disney stars). Who knows: maybe she’ll get a gig in the next Disney movie, now that she’s flashed some skin?

Stephenie Meyer Accused of Stealing ‘Twilight’

Stephenie Meyer, the author behind the hit novel and movie series, Twilight, is close to having a lawsuit slapped against her, with a rival author claiming that Meyer “stole” the idea of a paranormal human-vampire romance from her.

Author Jordan Scott has sent a cease and desist letter to the publisher of Breaking Dawn – the fourth novel in the series – with the letter stating that the content was stolen from her 2006 book, The Nocturne.

Scott claims that BD contains a “striking and substantial similarity” to her book, with some of the near-identical scenes including:

- A post-wedding sex scene

- A woman who is sick because she’s carrying a baby with “evil powers”

- The wife of the main character dying

As well as all that, Scott also claims that the dialogue in all of these similar scenes is also almost exactly the same to what she’d written two years earlier to the release of BD.

Meyer’s rep, however, has slammed the claims made by this small-time author, calling them “without merit.”

“The claim that Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer somehow infringes on an alleged book by someone named Jordan Scott is completely without merit,” Meyer’s rep states.

“Neither Stephenie Meyer nor her representatives had any knowledge of this writer or her supposed book prior to this claim.”

Michael Douglas’ Son Arrested Over Drugs Charges

Cameron Douglas, the troubled son of famed actor Michael Douglas, has been arrested in New York City for possession of methamphetamines with the “intent” to distribute.

So, in other words, Douglas has been busted for dealing drugs.

The 30-year-old was taken into custody earlier today by federal authorities, and at this stage, remains in custody.

This isn’t the first time Cameron has been arrested over drugs charges. In 2007, he was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance – cocaine – after a syringe with the liquid drug was found in his car.

Reps for Cameron’s father, Michael, refused to comment on the situation.

Judge Grants Custody to Katherine Jackson

Katherine Jackson is now the sole carer of her late son Michael Jackson’s children, with a Los Angeles judge signing off on a deal to grant the 79-year-old full custody on Monday.

The Jackson matriarch and her son’s former wife, Debbie Rowe, reached an agreement regarding children Prince Michael I, Paris Michael – Rowe’s biological son and daughter – late last week, with Rowe agreeing to visitation rights and continued spousal support in exchange for relinquishing her claim on the children.

At the hearing on Monday, Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff stated that Katherine would be supplied with a “family allowance” paid out of the King of Pop’s estate to better care for his children.

“It’s not my intention to deprive the children of anything,” Beckloff said.

Jackson’s other child, Prince Michael II – aka Blanket – will also be raised by his grandmother, with the judge ruling that there was “no legal mother” to care for him.

Rowe’s attorney, Eric George, released a statement on his client’s behalf outside of court, praising the result that had been reached.

“Today the parties and the California court brought about a result that is selfless and wise through a process that was collaborative and fair,” George said. “Everyone sought the same objective: doing what is best for the children of Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson. Today’s result – five-and-a-half-weeks after the tragic death of Michael Jackson, eliminates uncertainty and offers stability to the lives of these children.”

A status hearing will be held on January 11, 2010.
