Salma Hayek's Husband Surprises Her With Vow Renewal On Island Getaway. Salma Hayek is one lucky woman. The Mexican actress revealed the sweet and romantic surprise her husband organized for her while on vacation by the beach. In a series of photos shared on Instagram, the producer shared the adorable photos of herself and husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, renewing their vows in an intimate ceremony, with their daughter Valentina Paloma Pinault as a witness. "The summer is coming to an end and my best moment was when my husband surprised me with a vow renewal," the 51-year-old gushed. Clad in a red casual dress, the actress joked, "it was not what I would have chosen to wear to my wedding but I was told I was going to the spa!" And while the Mexico native would've liked a mariachi band to perform, her husband got the next best thing. "There were no mariachi band on the island but my husband found this one-man band," she shared. The pair was first married in a romantic ceremony in Paris on Valentine's Day 2009. And it seems they enjoyed saying "I Do" so much that they decided to do it a second time, but in Venice. This isn't the first time Pinault has gone above and beyond to please his wife. Salma once revealed to E! News her husband had hired a chef on her birthday since he knew she was exhausted by work and traveling. "We had the most exquisite dinner in pajamas and sweatpants and to me that's the best birthday anyone could think of," she enthusiastically said. If only all men could be that way. *sigh* (Eonline)

Liam Hemsworth's Latest Prank on Miley Cyrus Is His Best Yet. It's never boring when Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus are together. While driving around in a camouflage mask, Liam records a video of himself and his girlfriend before quickly braking on the wheels and shouting, scaring Miley in the process. In frustration, the Hannah Montana star throws her arms in the air, but still keeps a grin on her face as she chastises the Australian. It seems the artist is not yet used to the actors attempts to scare her since she continues to fall victim to his hijinks. In one of their latest videos together, the pair is seen dancing together in the car, before the 28-year-old suddenly screams. Of course, the "Wrecking Ball" singer immediately tenses until she realizes her boyfriend had pulled off yet another prank. "I'm going to beat the... ," the singer scolded, trailing off. Oh, and there was the time when he almost drove Miley to tears by jumping out from behind a wall. In recent years, the couple has become more private with their personal lives, but funny videos like these always seem to assure the Miam fans that things are going well between the couple. Most recently, speculation about a breakup started swirling after Miley deleted all photos from her Instagram account. The truth, however, was much simpler. "Miley is working on new music and rebranding herself, hence why she deleted her Instagram photos. She is starting the process of a new music project and wants a clean slate," a source told E! News at the time. Meanwhile, Liam is relaxing after wrapping up production for the film Isn't It Romantic. The cast of the romantic comedy were recently spotted dancing their hearts out on the streets of the Big Apple for a scene in the movie. And Miley better watch out cause it looks like his co-star, Rebel Wilson, fancies the Australia native. In an Instagram post, she gushed, "Liam's a stud muffin obviously, who's so funny too!" We're watching you Rebel! (Eonline)

Did Daryl Hannah and Neil Young Get Secretly Married? Cryptic Messages Fuel Rumors. Daryl Hannah and Neil Young may have tied the knot over the weekend as fans and friends congratulate them on social media. The singer, 72, and the actress, 57, sparked rumors when she posted a cryptic caption on Instagram alongside a picture of a white owl overhead. "Someone's watching over us... love & only love," Hannah wrote. The Mirror was first to report claims that the two got married on Saturday in Atascadero, California following an earlier ceremony aboard his yacht. The pair went public as a couple in 2014. Reps for the two haven't responded to PEOPLE's request for comment. Patricia Arquette seemed to congratulate Hannah in the comment section with an equally cryptic message. "You are the whisperer to all the animals... birds and bees follow you and protect you," she wrote. "What a beautiful time of love and magic." CNN commentator Sally Kohn also hinted at the nuptials with her comment saying she was "so sorry not to be there." Guitarist Mark Miller meanwhile congratulated the couple with a Facebook post on Saturday. "Congratulations to Daryl Hannah and Neil Young on their wedding today," Miller wrote. "May they have a long and happy relationship." During an interview in March to promote their movie Paradox, in which Hannah directed Young, the singer gushed he's "very lucky." "We're very lucky to have found each other. I'm eternally thankful for the opportunity to share my life with her, and she feels the same," he told Yahoo. Hannah and Young became public shortly after Young ended his 36-year marriage to Pegi Young. The couple were criticized by friends, Young shared, including his former bandmate David Crosby. "When we got together, even some of my good friends were negative about it, and I could never understand it," Young recalled. "[Daryl is] a wonderful human being, and I'm very lucky to know her. That's all I was thinking." (People)

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris Reunite 1 Year After Announcing Split. We spy a pair of friendly exes! It's been more than a year since Chris Pratt and Anna Faris surprised fans when they announced their separation after eight years of marriage. But as the Hollywood stars continue to co-parent their son Jack, both mom and dad are proving to be on welcoming terms. On Monday, the famous pair was spotted enjoying a morning stroll with their son in Santa Monica, Calif. And Tuesday, both mom and dad stepped out again for another walk. Wearing denim jeans and a white scoop-neck T-shirt, Anna kept things casual when kick-starting her new day. As for Chris, he opted for shorts, a black button-down shirt and gray baseball cap. "We have a great friendship, we really do and we always have," Anna previously shared with SiriusXM's Hits 1 in Hollywood. "And it's always tough to envision your future as one thing, but I think there is a lot of love." That respect and friendliness has continued as the parents move on in the relationship department. Anna has stepped out numerous times with boyfriend Michael Barrett while Chris started the summer by hanging out with Katherine Schwarzenegger. Since then, the pair has gotten serious with the famous daughter of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger hanging out with Jack. "She was helping him and very nurturing. She was extremely friendly and laughing with him," an eyewitness shared with E! News after spotting the group at The Bigg Chill in Westwood, Calif. "You could tell she loves little kids and is very good with them." When looking back at her romance with Chris, Anna couldn't help but gain a few lessons during her love story. "I think it's a lesson learned a little bit in terms of keeping relationships a little more private, potentially, even though I pride myself on being a pretty open person. But, I don't know, it's tough when you're under the scrutiny," Anna once shared. "I think it means valuing yourself. I was such an insecure kid that if anybody [was] remotely attracted liked me I was just completely smitten. Like, I can't believe the popular guy likes me." She continued, "I think my mom was always trying to reiterate: Value yourself, value yourself. We talk about that on the podcast a lot, about how women tend to not have strong egos as men and don't really prioritize themselves." (Eonline)

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again's Young Bill, Harry and Sam Are BFFs IRL, Too! The boys are back together again. Fresh off their hit movie Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! stars Jeremy Irvine, Josh Dylan and Hugh Skinner took off for a boys trip to the Shambala Festival in Northamptonshire, England. The Dynabros wore their finest '90s attire for the "Adventures in Utopia" themed event, which they made sure to document on their social media. Dylan shared a "family photo" of himself and Hugh cuddling up with a hen, before the lads partied at the yearly music festival. And it seems the Mamma Mia stars got into the festival spirit by wearing cat ears and a bit of glitter. Since starring together in the summer blockbuster, the actors have formed a solid friendship, as evident in their numerous Instagram photos together. In one of his many pictures with his co-stars, Irvine affectionately captions the moment: "Back with my boys." The second film, which introduced new characters to the original cast, was like a family reunion for star Amanda Seyfried. "It was even more fun than the first one," the actress shared. In the sequel, the young brits play the role of Bill, Harry and Sam back when the gentlemen first met the young Donna on the coast of the Greek island. While these actors are still in the early days of their acting careers, they have built quite an impressive resume. Skinner has starred in hit films like Star Wars the Last Jedi and the British comedy series Fleabag, while this is Dylan's first blockbuster gig. On the other hand, Irvine has been acting for quite some time and has had acting gigs in films like War Horse and Great Expectations. As good as those movies are, Mamma Mia 2 is one these boys will always remember. (Eonline)

Maura Tierney appeared feeble and frail a day after her scary cycling accident where a car hit her on the road ... but the good news is that she's on her feet and walking. "The Affair" star was spotted Tuesday walking gingerly with assistance as she headed down some steps. Maura's left arm was wrapped almost entirely with a protective bandage, presumably covering up an injury suffered Monday in Marina del Rey. She was seen later walking around the block under her own power. TMZ broke the story ... the former "ER" star's back wheel was clipped by a car while riding near the ocean. She was sent flying to the ground and was eventually transported to the hospital. She was released with no major injuries, but you can tell she's still feeling it. Cops say they don't believe alcohol or drugs were a factor. The driver even stayed on the scene while Maura was being treated. Good to see her out and about ... feel better, Dr. Lockhart. (TMZ)

Blackmail, Leaked Tapes and Outbursts: Lethal Weapon's Clayne Crawford Breaks His Silence About Firing. Lethal Weapon's very public dismissal of Clayne Crawford made headlines for weeks. Now Crawford is telling his version of events. Fox and Warner Bros. parted ways with Crawford following the second season of the hit drama following articles and reports of Crawford's bad behavior on set. Crawford publicly apologized for behavior on set in April, but was fired from the series weeks later... and claims he didn't hear from Fox or Warner Bros. In an interview on the Drinkin' Bros podcast, Crawford recounted the events surrounding his dismissal, something he didn't think would happen because of the high-profile role he was playing. When the first articles came out, Crawford said he called McG, the director of the pilot and second episode of the series, and said, "I was like, 'What the f-k is this? This is obviously [Damon Wayans] putting this s -- t out here.'" Then McG called Warner Bros. and advised Crawford to do the same, and the actor called Peter Roth, head of Warner Bros. TV. Crawford said he went into the conversation asking how the powers that be could let Wayans release info to the press like Crawford believed he was doing. "He said, 'Clayne, I can't promise you that I can save your job, but what I can tell you is that you have to make a public announcement apologizing, publicly, to Damon Wayans,'" Crawford said. "I was like, "What the fu -- ? I was like, 'Peter, why would I apologize publicly because he and I had a riff on set?' And he's like, 'Clayne, that statement alone tells me you don't want to come back.'" Crawford said he looked to his family, who was there during his call with Roth, and said he could not apologize to Wayans because "he has made life miserable for me on this show." He said he felt like Warner Bros. and the powers that be at Lethal Weapon had already started moving forward with firing him and that if he apologized, they'd use that to justify firing him. The actor said he was aware of the tapes of him yelling at the first AD that were later released by Variety because he was being blackmailed with them for months anytime he had a problem with costar Damon Wayans. Because Wayans wouldn't do table reads, Crawford said the cast and crew would find out what he would and wouldn't do on day of shooting. He gave an example of one instance where they were shooting in a church and Wayans, a Jehovah's Witness, said it was against his religion to enter the place of worship, so Crawford's shooting schedule would change dramatically. Crawford said he would complain about Wayans and anytime he went to complain he was told the tape of him yelling at the AD would come out and ruin his career. Variety reports Crawford's outbursts were also witnessed by children, which the actor called a "blatant f -- king lie." "I felt embarrassed in the moment," Crawford said, acknowledging it was his mistake to scream on set so publicly. And the tapes of the event, which took place in October 2017, became an ever-present cloud hanging over his head. "I knew that they were going to release these tapes because they'd been blackmailing me with them for months and months and months, the entire second season," Crawford said, noting he needed to address it head on because it was said he mistreated his cast and crew and he knew he had to apologize and get ahead of it all. He called his costars and asked if he had done anything wrong. "And I have all the text messages from these people and voicemails from these people saying, 'Obviously you're not the problem, but you've got to get ahead of this because you know they're going to use those tapes against you,'" he said. The tapes came out and the behind-the-scenes drama became very public and Crawford was out. "It's a little different when you replace Becky [on Roseanne] or the mom off of Fresh Prince. Like it's a little -- like if they'd replaced the Fresh Prince, we'd have been like, 'What the f--k are we watching anymore? That's why I just didn't think it was possible," Crawford said about getting replaced. "And again, I knew we had problems." Crawford told Ross Patterson his vision of the show was different from those involved. He had just finished Rectify and said he was "hesitant to come into a network show," especially one that was a remake of a movie franchise he was a fan of. "Again, our work ethics were quite different and creatively we saw the show much differently, I just didn't think they were going to get rid of me, I guess. And if they did, I thought they'd give me a buzz...just a jangle, just grab two cans and a string and just be like, 'You're not coming back. We feel like this is the Damon Wayans Show and people just don't like you. So, go the f--k back to Alabama you dumb hick, thanks for playing.'" Crawford said to this day he has yet to receive a call from Warner Bros. telling him he was fired from the series and he learned he was being replaced via social media and a Deadline report. Regarding the second tape released of Crawford and Wayans, Crawford said he wasn't aware of its existence. It took place during the episode Crawford directed, and the actor said he was nervous and excited, and when Wayans called in sick and later indicated he wasn't actually sick, then was hit with shrapnel and said he didn't trust the crew and Crawford, Crawford said he got extremely upset and the two went at it. In the interview, Crawford details the behavior that he alleges took place on set and said he was "set up to fail." As for why he did the podcast interview, Crawford said, "The only reason I'm doing this is because every time -- it's August and any time they talk about the show, it's my image, my f--king name, to promote their goddamn show."

Ben Affleck was on a downward spiral in the days leading to his return to rehab. "Ben had been drinking alone for days," a source tells PEOPLE in this week's issue. "He was in bad shape. He had barely been eating and had not showered. It didn't take much convincing. He wanted to go, and he cooperated." Affleck entered rehab on Aug. 22 with a second source telling PEOPLE, "He knew he needed help and was vocal about it." By his side was ex Jennifer Garner, also 46, who arrived at his home with an addiction therapist at her side. Garner drove the actor to a Malibu treatment center the same day. Several sources say Affleck had in fact been struggling again for months, though he had been going to meetings and working with a sober coach for much of the last year. "He's battled addiction for a long time now," says an Affleck source, noting the star had been "constantly working on himself" but after splitting with Lindsay Shookus in July "went into a darker and darker place until he had to reach out for help." The actor previously spent time in rehab in 2001 and 2017. Affleck wrote on Facebook in 2017 after a previous stay in rehab: "I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step." If you or someone you know is in need of help, please contact the SAMHSA substance abuse helpline at 1-800-662-HELP. (People)

Kanye West Argues Wearing Small Sandals Is the "Japanese Way." After his footwear made headlines at 2 Chainz's wedding, Kanye West took to Twitter to explain his shoe style. The "Gold Digger" rapper and his wife, Kim Kardashian, attended the Miami nuptials between 2 Chainz and Kesha Ward earlier this month. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star wore a neon green dress -- a shade she'd been rocking all week -- while her husband donned a mint green suit. However, it was his footwear that raised a few eyebrows. Not only did the Yeezy head rock a sock and sandal combination, but he also wore shoes that appeared to be a few sizes too small. But on Tuesday, West explained he had actually been wearing his sandals "the Japanese way." He also tweeted pictures of what appear to be a version of the traditional Japanese shoe, the geta. "The straps should be snug but not too tight between the two toes," part of the illustration read. It also stated, "Your heal [should] extend 1 [to] 2 [centimeters] off the back of the wooden sole." So what does Kardashian think of his shoe style? While the reality star didn't comment on the look, she did rock a similar sock and sandal combination in July. There you go, Internet. (Eonline)

There's still mystery surrounding the death of Bethenny Frankel's boyfriend, Dennis Shields, because an autopsy was NOT performed. The Chief Medical Examiner of NYC says there was a religious objection to the autopsy, so it was not performed -- and the cause and manner of death has been ruled undetermined. We're told in New York a religious objection can prevent an autopsy as long as police don't suspect a crime had been committed. TMZ broke the story ... Dennis was found dead earlier this month in Trump Tower from an apparent oxycodone OD. Dennis took an unknown quantity of oxycodone Rx pills, law enforcement sources say, and the following morning he asked his housekeeper to fetch Narcan, which blocks the effects of an opiod overdose. It's unknown when Dennis lost consciousness, but at some point the maid called 911. As we reported, the maid administered the Narcan but Dennis remained unresponsive. EMTs rushed to Trump Tower but it was too late. Bethenny was extremely emotional during a final goodbye to Dennis. He was buried Aug. 13. Dennis was 51. (TMZ)
