Weekend catch-up

It was a reasonable quiet weekend in the world of entertainment news but a couple of stories are definitely worthy of a post! Sit back, relax and catch-up...


Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds got married on Saturday after a four month engagement. 












In the weeks leading up to their wedding Scarlett didn't give away any clues about her upcoming nuptials: in recent interviews she spoke about enjoying the engagement and having no immediate wedding plans. The couple said 'I do' at a remote wilderness resort near Vancouver, in Ryan's native Canada. Only a small number of guests were invited, mainly close friends and family. The marriage has been confirmed by the actors' reps but not much detail is known about the ceremony. Scarlett, 23, and Ryan, 31, began dating in Spring 2007 and announced their engagement on May 5 this year. Both have been in high-profile relationships before: Scarlett used to date actor Jost Hartnett and Ryan was once engaged to singer Alanis Morissette.



Heather Locklear was arrested on Saturday for driving under the influence. A California Highway Patrol spokesman told People:"A female witness saw Heather Locklear driving erratically while leaving a parking lot... The witness said Locklear was revving her engine loudly, and backed over a pair of sunglasses several times." The actress was later found by police "seated inside her vehicle, which was partially blocking the roadway." It is thought that Heather, 47, was under the influence of prescribed medication. Two months ago she left a rehab centre in Arizona after battling anxiety and depression.



In brief...

Paul Newman past away over the weekend. He was 83 years old and
 had been fighting a long battle with cancer. The actor was famed for his blue eyes and was nominated for an Oscar ten times. In a touching tribute his daughters wrote that "He will be profoundly missed by those whose lives he touched, but he leaves us with extraordinary inspiration to draw upon".



Heath Ledger's family have announced that the actor's entire estate will be left to his daughter, Matilda Rose. The Dark Knight star died last January due to an accidental overdose and his will, which was written before the birth of his daughter, left his fortune to his parents. Heath's father Kim told Australia's Sunday Times: "There was never any question about the fact that Heath's estate would go to Matilda."



Dennis Quaid has hit back at ex-wife Meg Ryan for discussing their marriage and his affairs. The actor has told New York's Daily News, "It was eight years ago, and I find it unbelievable that Meg continues publicly to rehash and rewrite the story of our relationship".
