After his marriage with LeAnn Rimes quickly fizzled in 2009, Dean Sheremet has settled down into another go at wedded bliss with a woman named Sarah Silver.

The dancer-turned chef posted a video of the newlyweds stepping out of a City Clerk’s office in New York City wearing a gray suit with no tie while his photographer bride sported a one-shoulder red dress, holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Happy happy day," the blog post reads.

Not many women have the guts to sport an all-natural look in public, but Jada Pinkett Smith rocked a makeupless face and product free hairdo out in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday (August 30).

The “Reign Over Me” mama sported a casual ensemble as she walked along with a group of her friends while the paparazzi looked on.

In recent news, the mill exploded with rumors last week that Jada and husband Will Smith were splitting up after she was unfaithful with Jennifer Lopez’s ex-hubby Marc Anthony.

Gleeks all over the world are rabid for the September 20th season premiere, and some of the stars have shared their thoughts on the upcoming Season 3.

Meanwhile, Chris Colfer sounds like he missed the day-to-day people on the set. “Our crew. I really wish we could’ve taken our crew on tour with us. The makeup ladies, the hair people … aka, therapy.”

And Cory Monteith added, “Season three feels very back to basics. It feels like it’s all about core characters rather than like a tribute episode.”

Still glowing from her recent nuptials, Kim Kardashian joined sister Kourtney while out in New York City on Tuesday (August 30).

Kim also spoke with MTV about Beyonce revealing her pregnancy at the MTV VMAs, as she said, "Beyoncé is definitely my highlight. I adore her anyway, but it was so sweet. I thought it was really cool of her to come out and show that at the VMAs, 'cause music is her outlet. She could have done it with any magazine or news station, but she chose her home. I thought it was really cool."

Getting a lift from a studio staff member, Jennifer Aniston was spotted cruising around on a golf cart on a Los Angeles, CA studio set on Tuesday (August 30).

Having made their love for one another official on Saturday (August 27), Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars' wedding day pictures offer a glimpse of the newlyweds partaking in their cherishing moment.

The couple tied the knot at the historic Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, with the "Lost In Translation" director looking stunning in a lavender Azzedine Alaia gown while being walked down the aisle by her famous father, Francis Ford Coppola.

As for the ceremony, it was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, who told press after the festivities, "Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden."

Just one day prior to exchanging vows, Sofia and Thomas were all about relaxation - as they spent the afternoon lounging on the sandy Italian beaches with their darling daughters, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 15 months.

Making the most of her time in Italy, Bar Refaeli was spotted sunning herself in a stunning blue bikini yesterday afternoon (August 28).

The Israeli supermodel pranced around the Kauris III luxury yacht off the coast of Portofino while eager paparazzi snapped up pictures.

Bar bathed in the sea and played volleyball along with some friends who had come along for the ride (and the view!).

During her Mediterranean tour, Ms. Refaeli has been keeping her Twitter followers up-to-date on her festivities, including “belly dancing in Greece or at least trying to.”

She's one of the many east coasters dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene, and Bethenny Frankel seemingly let the major storm system get the best of her.

Unable to sleep through the nasty conditions, the Skinnygirl mogul began her Twitter tear at 3AM by writing, "I can't sleep. So nervous. The wind is so loud outside.what's the update?tv will wake everyone."

An hour later, Miss Frankel disregarded her sleeping husband and baby, as she continued, "I can't believe how scary this is.now watching the news with my jaw dropped.more&more evacuations&more state of emergencies. Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now."

The "Bethenny Ever After" star's anxiety reached its peak at around 7:30AM, as she tweeted, "We just lost electricity.this b**ch is coming.jason is oblivious.3 naps yesterday,slept all night,no prep.hurricane bethenny also here."

In the following hours, Bethenny posted a series of photos including one of herself looking quite unkempt along with numerous shots from her home and neighborhood, with her latest message reading, "I wanted to wash&dry my hair yesterday &jason thought I was nuts.now the new hairstyle is hurricane bethenny.jen aniston is so jealous."

Along with Frankel, numerous fellow celebs were active on Twitter while sending well-wishes and personal experiences via Twitter. A few of the many postings are as follows:

Ivanka Trump Majors wind and big waves in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. How are you faring through #Irene? Be safe! #hurricane

Nick Jonas So much hype about #Irene will be interesting to see this all plays out. Everyone stay safe.

Kourtney Kardashian More powerful prayers for the east coast. Don't forget how powerful prayer can be!

Adam Lambert East coasters: stay safe and smart while this storm rolls in. :) in my thoughts.

Sunday night she won the Video of the Year Award for her hit song “Firework,” and Katy Perry says she loves the MTV Video Music Awards.

The “Hot N Cold” songstress told press she’s intrigued by the show each year because of its sheer unpredictability.

Katy explained, "Anything can happen during the VMAs. It's definitely just the funnest awards show of the whole gamut, of all the awards shows.”

She continued, “The VMAs are like a f---ing monkey out of hell awards show. You just want to watch a spectacle, you want to watch what goes down and I think so many different sparks fly creatively."
