Police Will Probe Gun Attack at Tom-Gisele Wedding

wedding in Costa Rica was shattered when armed private bodyguards for the
couple – "three to four guys," a source tells PEOPLE – opened fire on
some press photographers, police have confirmed. "I didn't see who had the
gun," one of those involved in the confrontation told PEOPLE afterwards.
"I've been shot at before, but only when I was covering the war in Iraq or
when I was in Israel. This is ridiculous!" Local police officer Jose Aguero
confirms to PEOPLE that a report about the shooting was received and that the
matter has been referred to the next level of authority to do a full
investigation into what happened. Mario Sanchez of the Organismo de
Investigaciones Judiciales tells PEOPLE that a report was filed on the
incident and an investigation is set to begin after it is reviewed. Sanchez
says that authorities will pursue a case against the security guards if the
evidence is solid. He added that Brady and Bündchen will likely not be held
responsible for the guards' actions. Still, police hope to interview everyone
who was present the night of the incident. According to a witness, a bullet
tore through the rear window of an SUV and then through the front windshield,
barely missing the two fleeing photographers. There has been no comment from
the newlyweds' camp on the alleged incident.

Wedding Bells to Ring for Uma Thurman?
Is Uma Thurman going to walk the aisle this weekend? Sources close to the
actress and her fiancé, multimillionaire Arpad Busson, who arrived on the
Bahamian island of Eleuthera earlier this week, tell PEOPLE that wedding
plans may be underway for as early as Saturday. The couple announced their
engagement last June after Busson presented Thurman with some serious bling:
an eight-carat diamond surrounded by 20 smaller stones. Thurman, 39, and
Busson, 46, have been spotted at a luxury resort on Eleuthera. According to
marriage requirements for the Bahamas, the couple must be in the country for
at least 48 hours to obtain a marriage license. Licenses are issued by the
Registrar General, the same official who issued a marriage license to Mariah
Carey and Nick Cannon last year. The Registrar General's office declined to
comment on whether they have issued a marriage license. If the couple do
exchange vows, it will be the third marriage for Thurman, who has a son and
daughter with her ex (since 2004), Ethan Hawke. Her marriage to Gary Oldman
ended in 1992. Busson has two sons with former supermodel Elle Macpherson,
from whom he split in 2005.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt to Get Married – Again

PEOPLE confirms. According to a source, Montag, 22, and Pratt, 25, will make
it official in a sunset ceremony at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in
Pasadena, Calif., on Saturday. The upcoming wedding comes five months after
the pair flew to Mexico for what Pratt described as a "totally spur of the
moment" ceremony. Their Mexican celebration included "margaritas, sunsets and
beautiful settings" but no friends or family.
Uma Thurman Married? We Got the Answer
Uma Thurman is was a big tease. The Kill Bill babe was rumored to have
married Arpad Busson in the Bahamas over the weekend, and, with the actress'
camp mum, eagle-eyed reporters and photographers attempted to scope out her
left hand and draw a conclusion. She stumped them by wearing bright baubles
that were neither a wedding band nor the 8-carat engagement stunner she was
reportedly given when Busson proposed last June. They can relax now. "Uma did
not get married," Thurman's rep, Stephen Huvane, tells E! News. Instead of
the big diamond, the star wore a topaz piece to an event for Cookie magazine
Monday, and a shiny gold accoutrement to a press conference for the Tribeca
Film Festival earlier today. At the fest's kickoff, the question-and-answer
period was kept brief and, sadly, on topic. The actress did announce the
jurors for the various competitive categories, many sparkling celebs among
them, including herself, James Franco, Bradley Cooper, Meg Ryan, Mary-Kate
Olsen and Debra Messing. People kicked off the buzz about a Thurman-Busson
union on the island of Eleuthura on Saturday, claiming the couple had
obtained a marriage license and were prepared to swap vows. When they
eventually do wed, this will be the third marriage for Thurman, following her
divorces from Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke.
Guests Arrive in Venice for Salma Hayek's Wedding
The charms of Italy's most romantic city isn't lost on Salma Hayek's wedding
guests, who started arriving in Venice, Italy Thursday for the star's second
wedding celebration with husband François-Henri Pinault. Despite cloudy
skies, actor Woody Harrelson and wife Laura Louie enjoyed a twilight
hand-in-hand stroll around Piazza San Marco, while other guests – including
Hayek's ex-boyfriend Ed Norton and actor Olivier Martinez – were seen
enjoying the sites of the city. The wedding weekend kicked off Friday with a
rehearsal dinner at the Punta Della Dogana, one of Venice’s most historic
buildings, which guards the south entry of Venice’s Grand Canal. The
Carnival in Venice-style masked ball was held inside a white tent in the
courtyard with many guests, including Charlize Theron and boyfriend Stuart
Townsend, wearing black Venetian masks. Also in attendance were former French
president Jacques Chirac and wife Bernadette. Others expected at the
celebration are Penélope Cruz, Ashley Judd, Luis Miguel and Lucy Liu. The
site of the rehearsal dinner has been used by Venetian merchants since the
15th century. After the buildings fell into disrepair, the city awarded the
lease to Pinault's father, who has since spent $70 million on renovations.
The structure will open to the public as the Pinault Foundation Centre for
Contemporary Art on June 6. Earlier this month, Hayek, 42, told PEOPLE, "I
think a wedding is about love, friends, family and fun." The actress-producer
and Pinault, 46, the CEO of luxury-goods company PPR, are parents to daughter
Valentina Paloma, born in September 2007.
An Inside Look into Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's Wedding!
ET's special correspondent Cheryl Woodcock was among the guests at the
Saturday nuptials between Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt -- and she reveals
the details from inside the ceremony! Cheryl, who attended the nuptials with
her daughter Skyler, says the ceremony was nothing short of "tasteful and
elegant." "The ceremony was based on trust, hope and love," she says. "You
could really see that this young beautiful couple was truly in love, and
their intentions today were to say their vows in front of God and their
closest family and friends." Heidi's father walked her down the aisle wearing
a cowboy hat, which Cheryl learned was a request made by Heidi. "He looked
shockingly handsome and she looked stunningly beautiful," Cheryl enthuses
about the couple, adding that Heidi's long, sparkling veil "took everyone's
breath away." Cheryl says the ceremony location was beautifully adorned with
cream and white roses, while the bridesmaids wore one-shouldered,
buttercup-yellow gowns. "The Hills" stars Brody Jenner and Audrina Patridge
were also in attendance, Audrina wearing a strapless, navy blue mini-dress.
One of Heidi's bridesmaids was Spencer's sister, Stephanie Pratt, who is also
a cast member on "The Hills." Cheryl noted that as Stephanie made her way
down the aisle, she mouthed the words "I love you" to her brother, who
whispered them back to her. Before Heidi made her way down the aisle, Spencer
looked excited, smiling and dancing around as he awaited his big moment.
After the vows, it came time for Heidi to throw the bouquet -- and Cheryl
says it was none other than "Laguna Beach" alum Kristin Cavallari who caught
it! Heidi and Spencer's wedding ceremony was followed by a reception at the
Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The nuptials were captured by "The Hills" cameras,
and will air on the hit MTV reality series.
Campbell Scott Is Engaged
Campbell Scott will be walking down the aisle this summer, he tells PEOPLE.
Scott got engaged to stage actress Kathleen McElfresh in November. "We've
been dating almost two years," he revealed at the premiere of his latest
film, Handsome Harry, at the Tribeca Film Festival over the weekend. The
happy couple met while working at a theater in Boston. "I was in a one-man
play, so I was very lonely," he said on the red carpet, holding hands with
McElfresh. "Kathleen was in a play by the same author, but with a real cast.
I just ended up with the cast one night, so we started talking." But
McElfresh remembers it a bit differently. "I saw him and I had a crush on
him. He's not going to tell you that, but I saw him and I was like, 'I have a
crush on him. I'm going to talk to him.' And then I did," she told PEOPLE.
"And she did, thank God," Scott, 47, said smiling. The pair plan to wed in a
small ceremony in Florida in June. This will be the second marriage for
Scott, who has one son, Malcolm, from his first marriage.

honeymoon with her new husband, NFL player Hank Baskett, but she is still

Basketball Star Brian Cook Weds
NBA basketball player Brian Cook, known for keeping his cool on the court,
had some last-minute jitters over the weekend – and nobody could blame him.
The power forward for the Houston Rockets stood before about 150 guests and
exchanged vows with Victoria Velasquez on Saturday at the Trump National Golf
Club in Palos Verdes, Calif. Players from across the league were on hand and
one of his two best men was Luke Walton from the Los Angeles Lakers, one
Cook's former teams. "I wasn't nervous at all until right before the
ceremony," says Cook, "and then I saw her and just knew that it was all
good." The five-tiered wedding cake was made of red velvet and vanilla cake
with butter cream frosting. But it was the groom's cake – in the shape of a
basketball – that caused a commotion. As soon as they cut the cake, several
of the players "started throwing cake on Brian!" says a witness. The couple
danced their first dance to Stevie Wonder's "Ribbon in the Sky." The bride
wore a dress by Priscilla of Boston Platinum Collection and $75,000 worth of
jewelry from Adorn Brides. The wedding, which had a purple and turquoise
color scheme, was designed by Kathy Mazza of Bella Weddings & Events.
