Congratulations to Jenna Bush and Henry Hager! The two just got married in her hometown, though one could hardly call it a private affair. Social Security personnel kept out the crowds, while strangers crowded the streets hoping to get a peek at the President. Oh well.

Yes, it’s true — Mariah Carey did get a marriage license in the Carribean, and according to the New York Post, the couple tied the knot at her private home in Eleuthera (a small island in the Bahamas).
First Beyonce, now this. What’s up with secret celebrity weddings?

Is Mariah Carey engaged? There is certainly enough to suggest this, after the actress was seen wearing a huge ring. Though boyfriend Nick Cannon says that he loves “everything” about her, the singer evades any questions about romance, saying that her first love is her dog, Jack. Bet Jack can’t give you that rock, though, Mariah!
Congratulations to the newly engaged couple, Carmen Electra and Rob Patterson. She’s been going ’round town flashing her gorgeous ring, whic has a black diamond set in white diamonds.
Hopefully their marriage goes better than her two prior relationships (with rocker Dave Navarro and, briefly, NBA star Dennis Rodman). Both ended in divorce. Well, maybe three times a charm.

Rapper Kanye West and fiancee designer Alexis Phifer have announced that they’re ending their engagement.
Though Phifer says they’re still friends, she’s still sad — and maybe, shocked. A friend of Kanye reveals that the couple have been having problems, and that the rapper’s been really busy with his career. “Kanye is really focused on his show; he’s putting everything into the show right now. Alexis is a nice girl, but Kanye has been going through a rough time.” In fact, Kanye hadn’t been bringing her to events for the last few weeks.
Celebrific sends it congratulations to Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict, who got married on Sunday at the Four Seasons Resort the Biltmore Santa Barbara. The actress walked down the aisle to a live performance by R&B singer Kenny Lattimore, who sang “For You.”
It was a beautiful wedding ceremony — even more so because it was kept simple, intimate and elegant. What took center stage was the couple’s obvious happiness. “You can tell they’re really in love,” says wedding planner Robyn Goldberg of the newlyweds. “[Hardrict] wanted the wedding to be her dream come true.”

Ivana Trump gets married for the fourth time, exchanging vows with her Italian hunk of a boyfriend, model and actor Rossano Rubicondi. (We don’t know which was dreamier: him, or the $1 million diamond ring.) The two have been dating for 6 years.
The wedding was small, with just friends and family, including ex Donald Trump. The officiating judge was actually his sister, Judge Maryanne Trump Barry. Her kids Donald, Eric and Ivanka were part of the entourage. Read here for the details of their small but ultra luxe wedding.

Thank you for all of your support and well wishes – it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us.”

Celeb guests included Destiny’s Child Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and Gwyneth Paltrow.DJ Cassidy handled the music, while Amy’s Orchids imported 50,000 to 60,000 white orchid blooms for the decor.

BeyoncĂ© and Jay-Z put all rumors of a breakup to rest by getting their marriage license at the Scarsdale Village Hall. “It was just the two of them,” said one eyewitness, “They were very polite and smiling as they filled out the paperwork. They were holding hands for a while. They looked really happy.”
The two have been dating since 2002, but the relationship has had its ups and downs. While Beyonce once said that she “couldn’t picture herself as a bride” she did admit that she began daydreaming about her own wedding after her sister got married in 2005. She later said,
“Maybe me and my man will go away to an island; maybe we’ll go to a church. I have no idea.”
Jamie Lynn Spears has been showing off an engagement ring from Casey Aldridge, the father of her baby.
Wait a minute… she’s 16, right? And Casey is 18? Shouldn’t she be thinking about her prom date, not who she’ll be spending the rest of her life with? Are they just doing this because their baby is due this summer?

Welsh actor of Notting Hill fame (the wildly annoying friend of Hugh) Rhys Ifans proposed to actress and Brit style icon Sienna Miller (who starred with late and great Heath Ledger in Cassanova and was engaged to Jude Law for seven months) last August via a love note (in his native Welsh), and got a no.
He tried again at Christmas, allegedly sneaking an engagement ring in Sienna’s Christmas present, but again got a negative. Well, persistence does pay off, because the happy family finally announced that they are finally engaged. Third time lucky Rhys!

Princess Diana’s butler, Paul Burrell, gave shocking evidence at the latest inquest on her death, which was reopened in October.
He said Diana’s mother called her a “whore.” “She said that she was ‘messing around with effing Muslim men,’ and she was ‘disgraceful’ and said some nasty things.”
His testimony was full of other revelations including how Diana had also planned a secret wedding with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan. She only dated Dodo Fayed to make him jealous after he broke up with her.
Hasnat Khan granted his first interview about the princess but was careful to respect her memory and the love they shared. “That is just the way I am.”

On Thursday, Eddie Murphy and girlfriend, producer Tracey Edmonds tied the knot in a private island off Bora Bora in French Polynesia. Eddie split up from his wife of 13 years, Nicole, in 2006, and in 2007 fathered the child of Scary Spice (aka Melanie Brown), and would not acknowledge his paternity until 4 months after the birth. Tsk tsk.

After a romantic winter wedding in Utah’s Park City, word is that television star Katherine Heigl’s honeymoon got off to a less than smooth start, with the Grey’s Anatomy actress, forgetting her passport en route to Mexico where they were booked at a luxe resort. The absent-minded blunder (perhaps because of a post-wedding haze?), forced the couple to fly to California first, where affairs had to be sorted before they were allowed to proceed to Mexico. The newlyweds were able to make it to Cabo eventually, and were last seen canoodeling by the poolside.
