Reese Witherspoon's (unofficial) wedding checklist

Reese-witherspoon-wedding Reese Witherspoon stayed true to her Southern roots when she wed CAA agent Jim Toth over the weekend.

The Oscar-winning actress married Toth, 40, at her Ojai ranch, which includes a rustic garden and farm boasting horses, donkeys, pigs, goats and chickens, US Weekly reported.

Since we couldn't be there, the Ministry has instead compiled an (un)official wedding checklist that we believe the bride-on-the-go (or her celebrity wedding planner Yifat Oren) had to manage for the 35-year-old's second nuptials.

Reese Witherspoon's Wedding Checklist

Ceremony

Theme: rustic

Venue: courtyard in front of house, beneath a canopy

Ceremony: Christian, about 20 minutes. Officiated by The Rev. Jimmy Bartz, founder of Thad's Church in Santa Monica

Gown: Monique Lhullier, from Paris

Reese-witherspoon-jim-tosh Shoes: Jimmy Choo "Macy" sandal

Wedding rings: William Goldberg + four-carat Ashoka-cut diamond engagement ring

Music: bluegrass band playing "Tennessee Waltz," "Here Comes the Bride" and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken"

Wedding party: Witherspoon's kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillipe -- Deacon, 7 and Ava, 11, and nieces as flower girls

Ushers: BFF Heather Rosenfield's boys

Guests: 150, including A-listers Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin, Salma Hayek, Sean Penn, Scarlett Johansson, Renée Zellweger, Tobey Maguire, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew McConaughey, Camila Alves, Alyssa Milano, Colin Hanks, Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen

Reception

Venue: backyard field, tented

Pre-reception: one-hour cocktail party

Décor: outdoor lanterns, chandeliers in trees, antique furniture, Turkish pillows

Centerpieces: white, lavender and blush flowers in Mason jars, fish catcher lanterns and antique pots.

Caterer: Lucques

Dinner: endive salad with olives and fava beans; wild striped bass with potatoes, chanterelles and garlic; mustard grilled chicken with haricorts vert and herb roasted lamb with braised artichokes

Dessert: wedding cake, dessert table and s'mores lounge

Music: DJ

Favors: gift bags filled with Ojai honey and a local baker's pecan currant scones

We would have preferred a golden-laced cookie of some sort, but we guess that doesn't exactly fit the rustic theme. Still, the guests could have gone home with a basket of free-range chicken eggs, no?

Reports: Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger call it quits

Reneebradley For Bradley Cooper, love's hangover may be the most memorable. The actor and his girflriend of nearly two years, Renee Zellweger, have called it quits.

Multiple sources have confirmed the split, first reported by Us Weekly, and although none of those folks are giving reasons (or a standard "it was amicable" quote), it seems to be real.

The two met on the set of their supernatural thriller "Case 39," gradually getting more serious in the months following.  Notoriously silent about their status, they were said to be living together as early as last year, as well as spending time with one another's families. 

Reps for both stars could not be reached.

Cooper currently stars in "Limitless, with "The Hangover 2" on the horizon. Zellweger is attached to produce a project called "Pillage."

Stevie Wonder jams with the kids as stars raise $3M for Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Camps

 

Renee Zellweger Lyle Lovett and Hilary Hahn for Paul Newman camp fundraiser Paul Newman passed away more than two years ago, but his spirit was going strong last week in New York as stars of music and screen turned out to help raise more than $3 million to send sick kids to camp all over the world.

Performers at "A Celebration of Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Camps," held Thursday at Lincoln Center, included Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, John Mellencamp, Bette Midler, Keb’ Mo’, Hilary Hahn and Stevie Wonder. Meryl Streep and Renee Zellweger shared anecdotes about their experiences with Hole in the Wall kids at camp, and Bill Cosby appeared.

Wonder closed the show with a supporting chorus of Hole in the Wall Gang campers rocking out to "Sir Duke" (see the video above).

The event equally benefited the camps and the Hole in the Wall Foundation that supports them. The Hole in the Wall Gang camps and programs have served more than 200,000 children affected by more than 150 medical conditions — all free to the families and participants.

"Paul would be so pleased at the generosity that so many people displayed this evening, providing an opportunity for children with serious illnesses all over the world to benefit from camp and feeling like a kid again,” said John Reid, foundation president and CEO.

The real Hole-in-the-Wall Gang was notorious for members, including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, whom Newman and Robert Redford portrayed in the 1969 film that won four Oscars and counted among its nominations a best picture nod.

Bradley Cooper really, seriously can't talk about his love life

BRADLEY COOPER details

Despite his leading-man looks and box office prowess, somehow Bradley Cooper is keeping mum when it comes to discussing his romantic life.

In the new issue of Details magazine, cover boy Cooper is a steel trap when it comes to info about his squeeze, Renee Zellweger.

"I just can't," Cooper said when the topic was broached. 

Bradley cooper cover detailsHe's even mum on his brief marriage to actress Jennifer Esposito, which ended in 2007.

"It was an experience," was all he'd offer.

Oh, Bradley, such a man of mystery! What is plain to see is his physique. The star got considerably pumped-up for the remake of "The A-Team," which also stars Liam Neeson. He'll be playing Templeton "Faceman" Peck, the role played by Dirk Benedict in the TV series on which the film, coming out June 11, is based.

"As a kid I only fantasized about looking that way," Cooper said of his bod. 

"Remember Soloflex commercials? That was huge when I was a kid. It was like, ‘I wanna be the Soloflex guy. Mom, can we get the Soloflex?'”
