Justin Bieber gets some sugar on the soggy AMAs red carpet

Adele, honey, you were smart to stay home while the American Music Awards' red carpet dripped along Sunday night in L.A. -- though some who toughed it out got to see Justin Bieber smooch Selena Gomez in public, a moment that looked anything but chilly. The Biebs is, after all, his own weather system.

With part of the AMAs red carpet waterlogged from the Los Angeles rain, shivering pop stars found it a wet and chilly walk into the Nokia Theatre. Many women squished along in high heels, pulling up their dresses so they wouldn't get soaked from below while rain pounded on the big white tent overhead.

Given that the rain was practically a monsoon by Southern Californian standards, spirits were a bit damp at the 2011 installment of the American Music Awards, and it probably didn't help that Adele, the evening's leading nominee, is recuperating from throat surgery and wasn't in attendance.

But the show goes on, and winning a hunk of crystal warms the spirits, regardless of the weather. Karmin, the duo made up of Berklee graduates Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, snagged the AMAs' inaugural New Media award. The cute couple stopped to chat for a minute and show off their trophy, speculating on its potential superpowers.

Providing the red carpet with a rare dose of wisdom gleaned from experience, Jon Secada, who's currently working on an autobiography, passed on a few words of advice for up-and-comers.

In a world dominated by dance-pop, James Durbin, from the latest chapter of "American Idol," is staying true to hard rock, devil horns and all. That said, you might be surprised to hear who he was looking forward to seeing at the AMAs:

Demi Moore to file for divorce; Ashton Kutcher responds on Twitter

Demi Moore has filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher, the 49-year-old actress said Thursday in a statement.

"It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton," Moore said. "As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life. This is a trying time for me and my family, and so I would ask for the same compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation."

Kutcher responded via Twitter, saying, "I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi. Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and Light, AK."

The news marks the end of weeks of speculation as to the couple's status after rumors spread in September after a San Diego woman's detailed account of an alleged sexual tryst with the 33-year-old Kutcher led to widespread reports that Kutcher and Moore were splitting.

The couple had not spoken directly about the alleged affair, said to have happened the weekend of their sixth wedding anniversary, while Moore was in New York for work. Kutcher did send a Twitter message linking to the Public Enemy song "Don't Believe the Hype."

As recently as last month, Moore was spotted visiting Kutcher in his "Two and a Half Men" trailer, and the two went on a Kabbalah camping trip together. The two have attended several recent events solo, but both had been spotted wearing their wedding bands.

This could be the first divorce where the fate of a Twitter handle — Demi goes by @mrskutcher — is part of the negotiations.

'Breaking Dawn': Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed dish on love lives

At "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 1" premiere, love was in the air, and not just because adoring fans were hurling themselves toward the franchise's stars: Nikki Reed and Kellan Lutz both walked the black carpet Monday night with their significant others in tow.

Reed, who recently wed former "American Idol" star Paul McDonald, elicited coos from tween onlookers as she ran over to her husband and wrapped her arms around him.

"I feel like we'll be like that for a long time," she gushed immediately after the embrace.

Lutz, meanwhile, showed off his new girlfriend, brunette Sharni Vinson, whom he met during a chemistry read for the film "Step Up 3D."

"We're very fun-loving kids," he smiled. "We just enjoy life. I enjoy being with her."

Lutz had lots to be happy about Monday, as "Immortals" -- the swords-and-sandals epic in which he has a supporting role -- claimed the No. 1 spot at the box office over the weekend. The 26-year-old actor said his experience filming the action film, which took three months to shoot, was happily different than working on the seven-month-long final "Twilight Saga" production.

"You kind of lose your mind when you're working so much," he said of the "Breaking Dawn" filming experience. "You're shooting in a depressing climate kind of because it's winter-time. It's always gloomy. You kind of just get homesick. You get lethargic. You aren't on top of your game. And 'Immortals' was in sunny Montreal in the summer, so I was just really happy to get up every day."

Reed doesn't have any other films currently in theaters, but she's eager to begin her post-"Twilight" career.

"It's not like being in these movies affords you the ability to not have to try and make good movies and work really hard," she explained. "When these are all done, I think we're all still going to have to fight just as hard."

Ashton Kutcher gets a visit from Demi Moore on 'Men' set

Ashton Kutcher may be keeping his head down through allegations of cheating that have rocked his life for the past month, but the actor got some unexpected support at work Friday from his wife, Demi Moore.

The actress and "Five" director turned up on the set of "Two and a Half Men" with daughter Rumer Willis, one report says, then spent the day lounging in Kutcher's luxurious trailer.

"He put his arm around Demi and they acted like a couple," a witness on set told Us magazine. "They were talking and smiling at each other. Everything seemed just like normal."

"Normal" could refer to a time before the spotlight hit Sara Leal, a San Diego woman whose detailed account of a supposed sexual encounter with Kutcher in September took a magnifying glass to his and Moore's six-year marriage. 

Since Leal's big reveal, Kutcher and Moore have each been spotted wearing their wedding rings, and even took a Kabbalah camping retreat together. Work commitments such as Moore's recent New York appearance for the premiere of "Margin Call" and Kutcher's Hollywood Bowl appearance for the William J. Clinton Foundation's "Decade of Difference" weekend have been attended solo, however.

The social-media-savvy Kutcher has noticeably sidestepped the issue on various platforms, but there's one group from whom he insists on pure truth: the media! 

Amid the couple's non-commenting, Kutcher seems disheartened by the "bastardization" of truth in social media and traditional publications, possibly over the very coverage of these events in his personal life. 

"We really have to take it upon ourselves to instill a level of honesty in the works and media where we create and share with one another," he said in his Chime.In video.

No kidding, Ashton -- who in the video, by the way, did not wear his wedding band.

Patrick Swayze's widow unveils his 'Dirty Dancing' wax double

Patrick Swayze's "Dirty Dancing" character was further immortalized this week, with Swayze's widow, Lisa Niemi, on hand as the wax figure was unveiled in Hollywood.

Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer in September 2009 with his family at his side, famously partnered with Jennifer Grey in "Dirty Dancing," playing Johnny Castle to her Baby. The figure at Madame Tussauds Hollywood re-creates part of a scene in which Johnny takes Baby away from the dance floor and teaches her dance moves on a log over a stream.

"It's gonna be so fun to have this figure in the museum here, and at the same time it's bittersweet," Niemi told "Access Hollywood" at Madame Tussauds in Hollywood on Tuesday. "I wish he were here, really here."

Swayze costar Grey celebrated his memory on her way to winning "Dancing With the Stars" last November, drawing inspiration for one of her most memorable dances from their work together. She also in August tweeted her support for a "Dirty Dancing" remake, currently in development with Kenny Ortega on board as director and producer.

"We're going to teach Baby to dance again but we're going to find a cast that can stand tall in their own shoes," Ortega told OnTheRedCarpet.com at the unveiling. "We're not going to try to be replacing this man, because that's impossible."

Talking to the L.A. Times in 1997, Swayze said he thought the coming-of-age film worked because people relived "those wonderfully painful moments ... when you just need to love somebody with all your heart, and to be loved back.... Plus, it was a pretty sexy movie."

Niemi, now a spokeswoman for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, likely relived a few moments this week in Hollywood. "When the curtain actually dropped, I was grateful for all the confetti," Niemi told OnTheRedCarpet. "I was kind of bracing myself because I wasn't sure how I'd react. ... I loved him so much. I am so happy that it came out as beautifully as it did."

Bijou Phillips, Danny Masterson marry in Ireland, not Iceland

This post has been corrected, as detailed below.

Actors Bijou Phillips and Danny Masterson have finally tied the knot, after an eight-year courtship.

In the lush Irish countryside, the couple wed before friends and family in a castle with the landscape of Tipperary behind them, says People.

Masterson and Phillips got engaged in 2009, but as we told you last year, the couple hit a roadblock: Volcano Eyjafjallajokull. You heard us: That massive volcanic ash cloud that grounded flights and kept journalists tongue-tied also put the kibosh on the couple's planned nuptials in Iceland.

"I was going to get married in Iceland, but then it blew up. That volcano! We have to kind of postpone everything ... " Phillips told us at the time."It's hard for two actors to set a date, because a movie will come up or something, but it's harder not to date another actor. He totally gets it; he's like, 'I'll see you in a few months.' "

Eighteen months later and they're finally man and wife.

Masterson, of "That '70s Show" fame, had brother Chris as his best man. The bride wore a custom Zac Posen gown while her beloved went for a suit designed by Albert Hammond Jr. of the Strokes, part of a capsule collection for Masterson's Los Feliz boutique Confederacy.

Additional guests included actors Chris Mena and Ben Foster.

[For the record, 6 p.m. Oct. 20: This post originally gave designer Albert Hammond Jr.'s first name incorrectly as Alfred. Thanks to those who flagged it in comments.]

Ashton Kutcher and I had non-Republican sex twice, Sara Leal says

Ashton Kutcher and Sara Leal did the nasty in a San Diego hotel room, according to the 22-year-old blond who has little to lose by kissing and telling stories about what she says happened between her and Demi Moore's husband.

They did it twice, she said. They did it without condoms, she said. And then they had a talk that touched on astrology and politics, during which she claims he said, "Oh my gosh, you're not a Republican, are you?"

Leal has finally broken her silence, as they say, spilling details to Us Weekly about events that she says went down between her and the "Two and a Half Men" star early Sept. 24, Kutcher and Moore's sixth wedding anniversary. She said he believed him when he told her he was separated from his wife. Also, she reportedly leans Democrat. Both are Aquarians.

"He was good," Leal told the mag. "It wasn't weird or perverted."

(Theoretically, that would be good news, right? Overlooking the underlying claim of infidelity?)

The kids -- OK, he's 33, but you get the idea -- had been up all night partying in a hotel room and hot tub in San Diego, administrative assistant Leal's current hometown. Kutcher was attending a tech conference, while his 48-year-old wife was off to New York for the Sept. 26 premiere of her contribution to the Lifetime breast cancer short-film anthology "Five," her first stint behind the camera.

Moore and Kutcher, who've been staying essentially mum since rumors started flying, were photographed together Saturday on a camping trip with close friends in Santa Barbara. That after being photographed heading into a Kabbalah service the weekend before. Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, was Saturday (starting at sundown the day before).

So we turn to Twitter, where @aplusk and @mrskutcher notoriously hang out. A lot.

Moore last tweeted a smile Tuesday to a floral designer who'd complimented her short-film work. In the wee hours Wednesday, Kutcher tweeted thusly: "If we are not looking for one we are looking for the other Ctrl Esc," linking it to a picture of cuff links emblazoned with those keyboard abbreviations for "control" and "escape." Hours later, he made a reference to ET phoning home.

Make of it what you will.

Paul McCartney, Nancy Shevell are married -- let it be!

Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell were married Sunday in a low-key ceremony that had far more in common with the Cute Beatle's first wedding than his lavish second.

McCartney, 69, and Shevell, 51, tied the knot at London's Old Marylebone Town Hall, officially known as the Westminster Register Office.

"I feel married," the groom told reporters on his way out of the building Sunday after the civil ceremony. "I feel absolutely wonderful.”

The register's office is the spot where McCartney and Linda Eastman wed in 1969, beginning a union that lasted through three children and a knighthood, until her death in 1998. Another connection to the past: Sunday would have been fellow Beatle John Lennon's 71st birthday.

Ringo Starr and his wife, Barbara Bach, were at the ceremony, as were George Harrison's widow, Olivia, and -- of all people! -- Barbara Walters, the Shevell cousin who had a hand in bringing the bride and groom together in the Hamptons in 2007. Brother Mike McCartney was the best man.

"Going away for a big weekend," Walters had teased Friday on Twitter. "Will tell you more when I get back." She kept to her word, commenting Monday on the "wonderful family wedding of Nancy and @PaulMcCartney. Loved being there." That was it for details from Barbara -- until she spills more on "The View" on Tuesday.

The bride wore a dress by McCartney -- Stella McCartney, that is, the groom's designer daughter. And McCartney wore McCartney as well. Another daughter, 7-year-old Beatrice (she turns 8 this month!) was the flower girl. About 120 guests, including '60s it girl Twiggy and Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones, gathered at Paul's St. John's Wood home for the reception, where, according to the New York Post, he performed an original tune he'd spun up for his bride, along with one of her favorite songs: a little ditty called "Let It Be."

Mark Ronson deejayed the party, where grownups dined on vegetarian fare, including savory tarts, polenta, gyozas and more, Us Weekly said. The younger set had their own entertainment, including spinning plates, french fries and an early out courtesy of a small bus that left around 8:30 p.m.

For those keeping track, McCartney's simple first marriage had much better results than the extravagant 2002 affair in an Irish castle that saw him wed Heather Mills. At the time, friends and family had worried that Sir Paul was rushing into things in the wake of Linda's death. Only a few years later, it cost McCartney in the neighborhood of $50 million to settle his divorce.

But it seems to be a different story with Shevell: "The rest of the family love her and are thrilled she's made their dad so happy," a source told Britain's the Sun ahead of the ceremony.

New Yorker Shevell has a job of her own, holding down a vice president gig at a New Jersey-based transportation company run by her father. That company is valued in the nine-figure range, and Shevell has also been on the board of New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

McCartney and Shevell announced their engagement in May. This will be her second marriage; he has a son, two daughters and a stepdaughter from his first marriage, and one daughter with Mills.

The newlyweds plan to hold a second ceremony and reception in the Hamptons this week, but not before the groom on Monday announced 11 additional dates for his "On the Run" world tour, which will wrap up Dec. 20 in Liverpool.

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore: More mystery, allegations, silence

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore's marital woes -- or the allegations and suspicions in that department -- won't go away.

The past weeks have been littered with reports of infidelity, isolation, hurt feelings and photos of a supposed San Diego mistress. But through everything, the pair have remained almost silent.

Embattled Kutcher, 33, is said to have gone wild in San Diego at a tech convention on the weekend of his sixth wedding anniversary to Moore, 48. Now, a new report suggests that the same weekend, Kutcher enjoyed the company of not one but two women at the San Diego Hard Rock Hotel.

"Within five minutes, they were all naked in the hot tub, making out!" a source claimed to Us Weekly.

Salacious? Absolutely. Not that you can tell from Ashton and Demi's respective Twitter accounts. Both parties did send some mildly suggestive tweets last week, with Kutcher specifically warning folks not to assume anything about ... well, not to assume.

Ashton continues to sport his wedding ring and shows up for "Men" tapings -- thanking folks on Twitter for their support on the show -- while the Us report suggests Moore is "struggling. She's been alone a lot lately."

The Ministry isn't psychic, but Ashton and Demi's silent routine isn't making tabloid covers and rampant speculation disappear. Can they weather these reports by ignoring them? And for how long?

Seth Rogen marries Lauren Miller in wine country wedding

Seth Rogen's wedding to writer Lauren Miller took place Sunday in Sonoma, with the couple getting married in a hilltop ceremony capping three days in the Northern California wine country, according to widespread reports.

Rogen, 29, and Miller, 30, who've been together since 2004, were married by a female rabbi in a Jewish ceremony on a hilltop surrounded by vineyards at Kunde Estate, People said. The reception was held elsewhere on the property, with pictures showing the newlyweds seated in a white convertible for their ride to the party.

"The wedding was more laughs than anything else," a source told Us Weekly. "Every other line was a joke and the crowd couldn't contain their laughter."

That's hardly a surprise, with folks including Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill, Adam Sandler, Paul Rudd and Craig Robinson in attendance.

The wedding was held the same weekend that "50/50," Rogen's cancer comedy with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, premiered to decent though not overwhelming box-office success. With seven years together already under their belts, the bride and groom would seem to face much better odds.
