Details of Nicole Kidman's highly secretive wedding with Keith Urban have come to light. They have gone to great lengths to protect their privacy, but that has not kept important aspects of the wedding making headlines. The couple will be married during an evening reception under the cover of darkness on June 25, where helicopters have been hired to keep any eyes in the skies away and even decoy brides have even employed to keep the paps guessing. Sounds very 'Alias', isn't it? However, according to the Daily Star the ceremony will be taking place in North Sydney at the Catholic MacKillop Chapel with Kidman wearing a Balenciaga dress. Guests including Naomi Watts and Russell Crowe will dine on food prepared by celebrity chef Luke Mangan before the couple jet off to Fiji for their eagerly awaited honeymoon. Hmmm.. Would they make their guests sign some 'secrecy agreement' contract ala Xtina&Jordon?


Kylie Minogue has reportedly turned down lover Olivier Martinez's hand in marriage three times. Rumours were rife they were due to marry soon, but it seems there will be no wedding this year. Kylie allegedly turned down Olivier's proposals when she was unwell because she didn't want to be asked out of pity. A source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "She didn't want to get married as a reaction to what she was going through." The actor first proposed to Kylie days after she was diagnosed. He then asked again a few months later and a third time on his 40th birthday. The source added: "A few years back she would have seen marriage as her ultimate dream, but she's become more philosophical since her illness." Think it is up to her when she actually wants to have that special day. Maybe she just wants to concentrate on her new album and scheduled concert tours. Doesn't matter, she is now healthy and happy.


The White Stripes trial involving a producer who claims he deserves substantial royalties from the duo has just been launched. Jim Diamond, the co-producer and sound mixer on 'De Stijl', says he is owed royalties for helping shape the band's career. Jack and Meg deny that they owe Diamond royalties and claim that he was paid the fair rate of $35 an hour for his time in the studio. She added that he did not act as producer on their debut - that role being taken by White himself. The Detroit trial, presided over by Judge Avern Cohn, is expected to last about a week. This is going to be an interesting "apple blossom" battle.

Is Charlotte Church considered fat? She certainly doesn't think so. After quitting fags earlier this year Church admits she has put on some weight, but despite this she insists that she would never want to be a lollypop head like her nemesis Cheryl Tweedy. Church said in a recent interview: "I get really pissed with people calling me fat. I'm not fat. I'm a size 12 and I don’t see anything wrong with that. If you think I'm fat get a life. I do look a bit of a heifer on telly and in pictures but that's because the camera puts pounds on you."As ever, Church was eager to have a go at Tweedy, she said: "I don't want to look like her. I think when you are that skinny you look miserable because you just can't eat. I don't think it's good for young girls to see pictures of celebrities who look too thin. It sends out the wrong message." Damn right it does... then again its not good to be pictured hammered falling into cabs with a fag dangling out your mouth either. And she isn't planning on having children with Gavin Henson. "Having a baby would f*** up my whole life," Charl said. How is that so? Courtney Love is still a crazy chick herself till now..


Colin Farrell is rumoured to have fallen for co-star Lake Bell on the set of his new film Pride and Glory. The Irish hunk is said to be deeply in love with the former Boston Legal actress. Could this be a genuine relationship and how far will it go?


Colin has been seen wearing a wedding ring, prompting rumours he has married new love Lake Bell in secret. He met Bell on the set of new movie Pride And Glory, and has admitted to being in love, but remains elusive when asked if they plan to wed. A film crew member said: "The set is abuzz with talk that they wed in a private civil ceremony during a shooting break. Colin's a changed man since he went into rehab last December. He no longer gets high and shoots from the hip; he's become quiet, reserved and utterly charming. Who wears a wedding ring before they get married? Colin has it on almost every day." Farrell's rep as usual refused to comment on this, only saying: "I don't know. This is a private matter." The actor has already made moves to settle down in Los Angeles - he recently bought a $4.3m home in the Hollywood Hills. A hush-hush wedding scenario?


Kate Moss has been unlucky recently. Just days after her mobile phone was stolen, Katy was left "shaken and anxious" when her car was raided by a gang near her North London home. She worried about her daughter becoming a kidnapping target. The incident happened when her nanny Jade Davidson was taking Lila to a ballet practice. She stopped the vehicle on a quiet road after Lila complained of needing the toilet. Moments after Jade and Lila left the car, robbers struck and escaped with Jade's handbag, as well as a substantial sum of money. Looks like Katy might hire a bodyguard soon.. A source told Mail On Sunday: "Kate is very, very anxious about the situation. Kate knows Lila could have been in the car when the thieves struck. And they could have easily taken the car with Lila in it. Kate has realised she is heavily followed, people know where she lives and she knows she needs to up her security. She's become very paranoid and wants to step up her security arrangements immediately." Better do it soon. Knobheads can pounce anytime.
