Milla Jovovich weds Paul W.S. Anderson

Congratulations are in order to actress Milla Jovovich and sci-fi auteur Paul W.S. Anderson, who, People.com informs me, got hitched last night in a small sunset ceremony at their Beverly Hills home. The couple met when Anderson was directing Jovovich in 2002’s Resident Evil, which researchers believe may be the first time that a successful real-life romance has resulted from a movie based on a video game about zombies.

In addition to those warm congratulations, I should also offer a brief apology-slash-cautionary tale: When I first read this headline, I thought for a second that it said Jovovich had married There Will Be Blood’s Paul Thomas Anderson, and I was all, “How could he do Maya Rudolph like that?!” Needless to say, Paul W.S. Anderson and Paul Thomas Anderson are in fact two completely distinct people who happen to share an occupation and a near-identical name. They probably get that a lot. Sorry, dudes!

So, don’t make the same mistake I did. Know your Paul Andersons. And share your well-wishes for Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson in the comments below.

The drama queen comes up with another excuse to not marry

The drama is not over yet. She was the modern-day princess choosing her groom on national television, but after taking the decision her mind is clouded by serious doubts. Rakhi Sawant is extremely confused if she wants to tie the knot with her man Elesh Parujanwala or not.

The hot babe seems to be coming up with one bahanadesi item girl. The next reason - he is not financially independent and can’t even earn a “proper living”.

Now, the lady claims that Elesh can’t cope with her sexy image. The hot item girl was quoted as saying, “On the internet they’ve morphed my face on naked bodies. Would Elesh be able to tolerate it?” She is famous for her sexy tag and every one knows about it, but Rakhi is unsure about Elesh’s reaction to her sizzling pictures available on net.

Rakhi doesn’t even want Elesh to be known as Rakhi Sawant’s husband just like her previous beau Abhishek Awasthi, who was better known as Rakhi Sawant’s boyfriend. One thing about which Rakhi is dead sure is that she doesn’t want another hen-pecked lover like Abhishek in her life. Elesh, who is a Toronto-based businessman and doesn’t have a house in Mumbai has to first earn a decent living and then only she will marry him. Until then, she will wait and may be find out further reasons not to marry him.

The couple is going to participate in another reality show ‘Pati, Patni Aur Woh’ that starts next month.

Miss Universe says crown fulfills lifelong dream

NASSAU, Bahamas - The 2009 Miss Universe says her title fulfills a lifelong dream — and an improbable one for a girl who finished last in one of her first beauty pageants.

Stefania Fernandez, an 18-year-old Venezuelan, said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press that despite the rocky start, she continued competing in order to keep busy.

"I don't like to be at home doing nothing," Fernandez said. "I entered the world of 'misses,' and by chance life kept rewarding me bit by bit."

She moved from her hometown of Merida to the city of San Cristobal two years ago to pursue her increasingly successful pageant career, which culminated Sunday night when she edged the runner-up from the Dominican Republic to become the new Miss Universe.

Fernandez's win made Venezuela the first country to claim the title two years in a row, after Dayana Mendoza was crowned in 2008. She is also the sixth Miss Universe from the beauty-obsessed South American nation.

"Imagine what this means to me," said Fernandez, who wore a flowing green summer dress and gold-hoop earrings to the interview. "I'm making history in my country."

She said she does not expect that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez — who did not congratulate Mendoza last year — will praise her as other leaders have done with winners from their countries. But perhaps fittingly for a beauty queen, she offered a diplomatic answer when asked her opinion of the socialist leader's policies.

"I think they are extreme measures, but I trust that little by little, Venezuelans will start understanding each other and try to make the country better. We are trying to communicate more with each other."

Fernandez will spend the next year traveling the world as an ambassador for the pageant, lending her celebrity to causes such as AIDS awareness.

Afterward she plans to go to college and specialize in communications, and is also interested in pursuing English and French.

"My house is covered with photos of me from Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe," Fernandez said. "But I promised my dad that my university degree would be up there too."
