Joel Madden Denies Nicole Richie Wedding
The Good Charlotte star admits to feeling "really stupid" by addressing the gossip but felt he had to do something when upset pals started calling him asking why he'd failed to invite them to his nuptials.
He writes: "I've been getting calls and texts from my family all week asking me why they weren't invited to my wedding. I guess the only answer I could give them was that I didn't know we were having one.
"I just found out that star magazine (U.S. publication) wrote some story about a 2 MILLION dollar wedding we are supposed to be having, and that's (sic) where it came from.
"Sooooo if you were pissed at me for not inviting you or even telling you, dont blame me, theres (sic) nothing to worry about. Its just star magazine.
"How long do you think it will be before they write we called it off, or we broke up? i give them a week or two..."

Departure for Jesse
Following the incredible success that Bleeding Love � the smash single from British pop singer Leona Lewis � achieved on international charts, Jesse McCartney is in demand.
McCartney, who collaborated with OneRepublic�s Ryan Tedder to write Bleeding Love, says he now has many new writing opportunities to choose from. In addition, he has a long list of artists he would love to write material for, including Sean Kingston and Mariah Carey.
�I�ve always wanted to do a record for Mariah, so I�m in the middle of writing some stuff with her in mind, but she doesn�t know it I don�t think,� McCartney tells Metro. �And I know Simon (Cowell) definitely wants Ryan and I to get back in and start writing for the next Idols that are coming up.�
McCartney had known about Tedder�s writing abilities for a while, and so the pair decided to meet up prior to the release of OneRepublic�s radio and ringtone hit Apologize.
McCartney says he was in the studio working with Tedder on material for Departure � McCartney�s latest studio album � when they came up with the tune Bleeding Love.
The track didn�t make the cut on Departure, so it was temporarily put aside while the album was recorded.
�We decided collectively that (Bleeding Love) was more of a feminine song. And when it got pushed to the side somehow Simon Cowell got his sticky fingers on it and so did Clive Davis,� he says.
�Leona had just won X-Factor and they were looking for like a pop ballad, and we passed it her way and she tore it apart. It was really kind of a perfect storm situation and took us all by surprise.�
Unlike his previous albums, Departure is just that � an effort to move on to something new and different.
�The last couple of years have been interesting, I feel like I�ve opened a new chapter � got my own place now, been single for a year and a half,� says McCartney about the basis for his songs. �It�s honest, and I feel like the fans appreciate stuff like that � makes for great songwriting.�

The Enforcer - 6/3/2008
Dirty Harry #3 is undoubtedly the worst of the bunch, with Callahan chasing down a group of hippie radical terrorists, several years after the end of the hippie radical terrorist era. A few minor points for excellent use of such enormous area landmarks as Coit Tower, Alcatraz, and Tyne Daly.

Garraway denies affair with dance partner
In a statement released by her solicitors, Garraway, who is married to psychotherapist Derek Draper, said she had been "extremely hurt" by allegations in a Sunday newspaper.
She said: "Contrary to these insinuations Derek and I are as faithful, happy and in love today as we have ever been.
She continued: "The plain truth is that Anton and I became friends during 'Strictly Come Dancing'."
"Since then we often work and hang out together. For that to be twisted into something else is sad, hurtful and totally untrue."
The 'GMTV' presenter added: "I am extremely upset and hurt by the allegations. I made it clear before publication that there was no truth to them whatsoever.
"Given they were published in any event and continue to be published, I feel I have no option but to take libel proceedings against the newspaper to set the record straight."

Jim Broadbent - Broadbents Potter Snub
British actor JIM BROADBENT took on a role in forthcoming movie HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE - despite harbouring a dislike for the boy wizard franchise.
The star plays teacher Horace Slughorn in the sixth installment of the films, which are all adapted from J.K. Rowling's book series.
But Broadbent insists he did not accept his role in the penultimate movie out of love for the famous books - admitting that he doesn't even like the Potter series.
He says, "I'm not a massive fan."
