Rihanna Rocks 2011 V Festival Day One


Making for a fairytale moment in their young lives, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries exchanged vows during a lavish ceremony in Montecito, California on Saturday evening (August 20).

With the nuptials taking place at 6PM PT at the Sotto Il Monte estate, the 30-year-old E! reality star was dressed in a custom Vera Wang gown as stepdad Bruce Jenner walked her down the aisle and up to her tuxedo-clad fiance, who tweeted just ahead of the big moment, "This is it!".

Taking part in the classic service were family members Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie and Kendall as bridesmaids, while the ceremony also saw Kim's beloved nephew Mason Dash Disick act as ring bearer.

Once the lovely couple said their "I Do's," the guest list of 440 attendees made their way to the reception grounds - with stars partaking in the lavish affair including Lindsay Lohan, Demi Lovato, Ryan Seacrest (with Julianne Hough), Avril Lavigne, Mario Lopez, Maria Menounos, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mark Ballas, Avril Lavigne, Serena Williams, Nicole Richie, La La Vasquez, Kelly Osbourne and Eva Longoria, as well as numerous members of Humphries' New Jersey Nets team.

Making sure that partygoers don't go without their beverages, reports tell that Malibu Rocky Oaks Wine was contracted to supply 720 bottles of wine while a 10 tier wedding cake with chocolate chip frosting was among the desserts - with the savory treat costing a cool $20,000.

Reports tell that People magazine won the bidding contest for wedding pictures at a cool $1.5 million while E! is set to air Kim's wedding coverage during a two-part special on Oct. 9 at 8 pm with the 2nd part airing on Monday, Oct. 10 at 9 pm!

Joining in on the marital celebration, Lindsay Lohan and her mother Dina were among the stars situated in Montecito, California on Saturday (August 20).

The "Mean Girls" starlet and her mom checked into a local hotel at around 2:30AM while photographed as they readied for the much-talked-about nuptials earlier this evening.

Both looking beautiful, a paparazzo was able to get closeup access as LiLo and Dina dolled themselves up prior to heating to the Sotto Il Monte estate venue.

As for the big occasion, E! reality star Kim Kardashian tied the knot with New Jersey Nets basketball player Kris Humphries - with the multi-million dollar soiree attracting top names including Demi Lovato, Ryan Seacrest, Eva Longoria, Lamar Odom and Nicole Richie, among many other famous faces.

Making his way to the Land Down Under, Taylor Lautner was spotted touching down at Melbourne Airport in Melbourne, Australia on Sunday (August 21).

Wearing a big smile on his face to go with a mostly-black ensemble, the "Twilight" heartthrob was escorted through the terminal as he's in town for a short Aussie promotional tour tied with his upcoming movie "Abduction".

Set to hit theaters on September 23rd, the thriller caper co-stars Lily Collins while being "centered on a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about his life after finding his baby photo on a missing persons website."

After the movie's theatrical release, "Abduction" is lined up to become Lionsgate's very first early-release VOD test film - with the picture to be made available via VOD beginning three months after it's cinema debut.

According to Bloomberg, Lautner's film "will be offered for $6.99 in standard definition and $7.99 in HD, well below the typical early release prices of around $30."

Having skipped out on Comic-Con 2011, the stars of "The Avengers" took center stage to the delight of the many comic book crazed fans in Anaheim, California on Saturday (August 20).

On-hand for Disney's D23 Expo, Scarlett Johansson joined co-stars Jeremy Renner, Cobie Smulders, Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr at the Anaheim Convention Center venue to promote their in-the-works Joss Whedon directed action flick.

While remaining tight-lipped on the storyline, the audience was treated to two short clips from the film - with the material including "tense scenes between Nick Fury and Loki, and Iron Man alter-ego Tony Stark and the god-gone-wild," according to EW.

Set to take over theaters on May 4, 2012, "The Avengers" also stars Chris Evans, Gwyneth Paltrow, Samuel L Jackson, Mark Ruffalo, Paul Bettany and Stellan SkarsgÄrd.

She's officially 19-years-old, and Demi Lovato stepped out for a midday excursion in Los Angeles, California on her birthday (August 20).

Sporting a cute Mickey and Minnie Mouse shirt, the "Skyscraper" singer was joined by a gal pal as the ladies popped into a local CVS pharmacy to pick up a few needs.

The sighting comes after Miss Lovato rang in her 19th birthday the previous night with a fun-filled visit to Pinz Lanes.

Meanwhile, Demi is among the many stars who are set to head to Montecito this evening to attend the much-talked-about wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries.

Ready to take their relationship to the next level, CaCee Cobb is engaged to marry boyfriend Donald Faison!

The joyous news went public thanks to Faison's "Scrubs" co-star Zach Braff's recent tweet, which read: "Congrats to @donald_faison and @caceecobb on their engagement. Just wish I was there to run around you both with sparklers."

Having a little fun once the cat was out of the bag, 37-year-old Faison wrote, "If you like it then you better put a Ring on it. –Beyonce."

To this, Miss Cobb, 33, cutely replied, "If she likes it then she better say YES!!"

Stepping out as she readies for her walk down the aisle, Kim Kardashian was joined by sister Kourtney as the pair exited the Four Seasons Hotel in Santa Barbara on Saturday (August 20).

In an unsuccessful attempt to elude the legions of media members, the E! reality stars tried to sneak out the back door of the posh hotel while clad in comfortable white sweatsuits with Kim's featuring "Mrs. Humphries" embroidered on the chest.

The Kardashian gals proceeded to load into the back of an awaiting white Maybach before being driven to the site of the wedding in Montecito.

As previously reported by GossipCenter, Kim took to her blog to comment on the momentous occasion, writing, “Today Is The Day. I can’t believe it’s finally here! Thank you so much to everyone who made this day happen!!!!!”

Set to walk down the aisle in a Vera Wang designed gown, the 30-year-old added, “You guys mean the world to me, and I want to thank you for all your love and support. I love you!!!”

The marital celebration will take place mostly underneath a giant tent to thwart paparazzi coverage - as the nuptials are set to air during a two day special on E! on October 8-9th.

Taking the stage to the elation of the thousands of concertgoers in attendance, Rihanna performed the first of her two-day run at the UK's 2011 V Festival on Saturday night (August 20).

The "Hard" singer livened things up while front and center on the Weston Park stage in South Staffordshire, joining fellow act Eminem as the top-bill attractions of the evening.
