Everyone stood and cheered and they had huge smiles as they left as a couple. It was an emotional ceremony." The night before the ceremony, the couple and their loved ones celebrated at a wedding rehearsal dinner. Their second wedding comes almost two months after Jonas and Turner married in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas. After attending the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, the couple went to A Little White Chapel to say "I do" at the Sin City location's Chapel L'Amour. The May 1 ceremony, which was broadcast on Diplo's Instagram Live, was attended by Jonas' brothers, Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas, as well as Priyanka Chopra and Danielle Jonas. Country duo Dan + Shay also serenaded the couple with a performance of "Speechless" during the ceremony. That same day, Jonas and Turner obtained their marriage license, officially making them husband and wife. The couple's nuptials came as a major surprise to their fans, especially since Turner and Jonas had been open about their plans for a summer wedding in France. "They knew they needed to have a legal ceremony in the U.S. and decided a few weeks ago to do it in Vegas after the Billboard Awards," a source told E! News at the time. "Some of their friends and family would be there so it felt like the perfect timing." "They booked the chapel for a big block of the night to make sure they had it to themselves and that the timing could be spontaneous," the insider continued. "A friend paid and set up the entire thing." "Their real wedding will be in France this summer, but they thought this would be a fun way to make it legal," the insider shared in May. "They wanted to have it planned out in advance to give friends a chance to come. It was a fun night in Vegas and it worked out perfectly." Prior to the duo's second wedding, Turner enjoyed a luxurious bachelorette party in Europe with her closest pals. "Sophie rented out a luxurious penthouse suite at the hotel. Half of the girls are in her wedding party but they are all very close girlfriends of Sophie," one insider told E! News. "Sophie has always been a huge fan of Spain and she knew that it would be a fun place to party and celebrate her upcoming wedding." (Eonline)

Katharine McPhee and David Foster Are Married. Katharine McPhee and David Foster are officially husband and wife! A source tells E! News exclusively that the musical pair tied the knot during a romantic ceremony Friday at the church of St. Yeghiche in London. Their family and friends, including David's daughters Sara and Erin Foster, were in attendance for what is Foster's fifth wedding and Katharine's second. "Exactly 13 years ago today my very first single, 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow,' was released right after Idol. Today... I'm marrying the man who produced it," she posted on Instagram earlier in the day. "Life is full of beautiful coincidences, isn't it? Thank you for taking me over the rainbow, David." According to a source, the couple exchanged vows at the altar in a traditional manner about 35 minutes into the ceremony. "It was a very quick but traditional ceremony," our insider shared. "Katharine looked stunning in a classic Zac Posen simple white gown." The duo kicked off the celebrations earlier this week. On Thursday, alongside their close family and friends, the couple rented out a tour bus and went sightseeing through London. "Katharine was popping champagne bottles and everyone was singing to the music," a source tells E! News. "It was a great time." Later, rather than host a formal rehearsal dinner, they celebrated with their guests at London's The Punchbowl Pub. "Irish music was playing, and everyone was drinking and dancing," the source says. "They all did a toast to the couple and everyone was smiling with excitement. Katharine and David wanted everything to be light and easy. They wanted their guests to have fun." It's hard to believe that it's been nearly two years since the couple first sparked romance rumors while on a sushi date in Malibu. In an extravagant show of PDA, Katharine and David were spotted "kissing" each other's cheeks throughout their meal. Over the next few months, things would quickly turn serious, to the surprise of their friends and family. In December 2017, a source told E! News, "David is usually a playboy but Katherine has made him change his ways, and he is really comfortable with her." The former American Idol contestant eventually met the music producer's family, who all adore her just as much as David does. For his 68th birthday, the singer joined him, his daughters, Sara and Erin Foster, as well as his step-sons Brody and Brandon Jenner for an intimate family dinner. (Eonline)

Jackson Rathbone and his wife Sheila are already parents to daughter Presley Bowie, 3, and son Monroe Jackson VI, 7 next month. There's a baby boy on the way for Jackson Rathbone! The former Twilight actor, 34, and his wife Sheila are expecting their third child, his rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

"We are over the moon for this new addition to our family and are excited to soon be a party of five!" Rathbone tells PEOPLE, adding that they are due in January. Shortly after the birth of his daughter Presley in 2016, Rathbone, who stars in Heart, Baby!, told PEOPLE that he and Sheila were "open" to having more children. "We're going to take some time," the actor said. "In a hypothetical sense, sure, why not? We're open to multiple ways of having kids." Rathbone also shared in the same interview that Monroe was "the sweetest big brother" to newborn Presley. "Whenever we want to change a diaper, he wants to help, and he gets us a diaper, and he'll get the wipes if we're in a different room," he said. "He likes to hold her and give her kisses, tell her goodnight." "Having a boy first and then a girl, I think it's going to make [Monroe] a better man when he grows up," Rathbone added. Rathbone, who is also a musician, said in 2018 that his older child has also begun to cultivate a love of music. "[Monroe] and I have formed a band that he has named the Yes No's," he told PEOPLE at the time. "He is the singer and the lyricist and I am the backing musician. I play the drums and guitar and whatnot -- whatever he wants me to. Oh, and he also plays the harmonica." "He's got a passion and a talent. He's a young kid so I don't want to overexpose him in any way, but I also want him to be able to follow his passions," Rathbone -- who will next be seen in upcoming films Do Not Reply and Dreaming Grand Avenue -- added.

Those who care for Honey Boo Boo are making sure Mama June can't dip in to her funds ... and it's all because of concerns over Mama's casino trips with boyfriend Geno Doak and their crack cocaine arrest. Family sources tell TMZ ... a rep for 13-year-old Alana -- AKA Honey Boo Boo -- recently had an attorney step in and move her money into a new account that Mama June can't touch. We're told the family is deeply concerned Mama June might try to use her daughter's assets to fund her gambling and alleged drug habit ... so they want to make sure Honey Boo Boo's money is protected. Our sources say Honey Boo Boo's sister, 19-year-old Pumpkin (government name, Lauryn), will have access to the funds. However, she can only use the money for Alana's needs and benefit, and there are safeguards in place. Pumpkin, who is housing HBB and serving as a de facto guardian, needs to show proof and receipts of where the money goes when she accesses the account. Honey Boo Boo is living with Pumpkin because it's an unstable environment at Mama's house, where Geno recently crashed his SUV into the garage when he was wasted. As you know ... Mama June has been in a tailspin. She and her boyfriend Geno were busted in Alabama for crack cocaine possession, and she's since been spotted several times hitting the slots in casinos. HBB tearfully begged Mama to straighten her life out a while back ... but that may have fallen on deaf ears, because the family obviously doesn't trust Mama with Boo Boo's money. (TMZ)

Ben Affleck has jumped into a lawsuit over the recovery center where he stayed for 40 days .... saying the guy who treated him for alcoholism literally saved his life. Ben is supporting Noah Levine, who founded Refuge Recovery House, an alternative program to AA. A woman whom Levine dated accused him of sexual misconduct and other issues a year ago ... the LAPD investigated, and prosecutors rejected the case. Nevertheless, the Board of Directors is trying to force Levine out, saying the allegations support getting rid of him. Affleck just filed a declaration, explaining he was a patient last August at the Refuge Recovery treatment center after losing his sobriety. He has also regularly attended meetings and even got one-on-one therapy with Levine. Ben says, "Working with Noah and his Refuge Recovery program has, quite literally, turned my life around. Today I am sober, happy, healthy and have custody of my three children. All of those things are a result of having Noah in my life. I don't know what I would have done without him." Ben goes on ... "Noah's patient instruction in sobriety, Buddhism, patience, kindness, compassion and forgiveness form the bedrock of the foundation of my life today. I owe him for my professional life today, the life I have with my children, and the inner sense of equanimity I am actually able to reach from time to time." In supporting Levine, Ben throws shade at lots of Hollywood hangers-on, saying, "I have been around many people in the recovery field, the self-help world, and the world of those who hang around celebrities for profit and attention ... Noah is without a doubt the person with the most integrity, the most honor, the most genuine compassion and the least motivated by self-interest I have ever known." And, Lindsay Shookus, who calls Ben her "then live-in boyfriend," says, "I cannot begin to express the tremendous value that Noah's teaching and treatment counseling has had up both me and Ben, and upon my relationship with Ben."

Guns N' Roses Drummer Steven Adler Hospitalized After Possible Suicide Attempt. Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler has been hospitalized after a possible suicide attempt. TMZ, which broke the news, quoted law enforcement sources as saying that someone at the musician's Los Angeles home called 911 around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday to report that someone had stabbed themselves, and that cops later discovered Adler, 54 with a stab wound to his stomach. The outlet said he was treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. An LAPD spokesperson confirmed to E! News that they received a call from a private home, whose address matches that of Adler and wife Carolina's house, around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday about a possible suicide attempt. When authorities reached the residence, they found a person suffering a medical emergency and transported them to a hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police determined no crime had been committed. A spokesperson at the Los Angeles Fire Department told People they called to the address for a possible stabbing and transported one patient to the local hospital. It is unclear if Adler, who has battled substance abuse for years, was under the influence at the time. Adler joined Guns N' Roses in 1985 and was fired from the band over his drug addiction in 1990. He then sued the group, and the parties settled the case out of court. Adler's drug addiction became worse, leading to an arrest for heroin possession in 1996 and an overdose and stroke a year later. The musician has been to rehab a few times. In 2008, Adler starred on second season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and later appeared on the the first season of spin-off Sober House. In 2011, following another relapse, Adler returned to Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew for its fifth season. In 2012, Adler was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Guns N' Roses. In 2016, he joined the band on tour for a few shows as a guest performer. (Eonline) . . .

UPDATE: Steven Adler's rep tells TMZ . . . the stabbing was not a suicide attempt, and simply and accident. The rep would not specify what caused the accident, except to describe it as a "very minor, superficial wound." So much so, we're told Adler still plans to perform a July 12 gig in Las Vegas. The show must go on, as they say. As for Steven's past substance abuse � his rep assured us he's been sober for several years. (TMZ)

The mastermind behind the David Ortiz shooting has been arrested in the Dominican Republic, officials say. Victor Hugo Gomez is the man who allegedly put the wheels in motion for a team of hitmen to roll up to a popular lounge with murderous intent on June 9. Of course, Dominican officials have now said they don't believe Ortiz was the intended target that night -- insisting the shooter mistook the MLB legend for a friend who was sitting nearby. Ortiz was hit in the back -- but the bullet caused serious damage to several organs including his intestines and liver. After the initial life-saving surgery, Ortiz was flown to Boston where he's been receiving treatment ever since. As for Gomez, officials say he put out the hit on Ortiz's friend while Gomez was inside the United States. Officials say Gomez has a criminal record and possible ties to a drug cartel. So far, at least 10 people have been arrested in the investigation -- including the shooter Rolfi Ferreira Cruz, who has said on the record that Ortiz was not his target. (TMZ)

Another member of Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson's family is in bad shape -- her Uncle Billy got in a nasty car wreck and suffered major injuries ... and the other driver died. Sources close to Alana tell TMZ ... Billy -- the younger brother of her father, Sugar Bear -- was involved in a 2-car accident outside Atlanta on Father's Day. We're told he was struck head-on by a driver traveling on the wrong side of the road, and that person was killed. Billy broke his leg, both arms, several ribs and his jaw in the crash . . . and suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns because his vehicle caught fire after the crash. We've obtained photos of the grisly scene, showing the car ablaze along a guardrail and the aftermath. Our sources say Billy's been in the hospital since the accident, and he's already undergone 5 surgeries to repair his injuries and has 2 more to go. Sadly, we're told the tragedy has stoked animosity among Honey Boo Boo's family members ... especially toward Sugar Bear. Our sources say they feel like he's abandoning his brother, because he's been practically invisible at the hospital other than visiting Billy once the first week he was there. Meanwhile, we're told Alana's other uncle, Poodle, has been by Uncle Billy's side almost 24/7. As we've reported ... Honey Boo Boo's also dealing with turmoil in her immediate family, stemming from her mother Mama June's troubling relationship with Geno Doak and her apparent substance abuse. Alana refuses to move back in with her mom until Geno's gone and, after the incident where he was wasted and crashed into June's house ... that's probably a good idea. Honey Boo Boo has been staying with her older sister, Pumpkin, in the meantime. (TMZ)



Dog the Bounty Hunter Gives Emotional Speech at Wife Beth Chapman's Memorial Service. Beth Chapman has been laid to rest. Dog the Bounty Hunter paid his respects to his wife on Saturday evening, June 29, and gave an emotional speech at the memorial service. "After my mom died, I said well, 'My mom is in the Earth'... In my tribe, we believe she becomes part of the Earth, the sea, the sky and the rain. Beth is going to be placed here too, she got here before I did, it's my island," he shared. "She said, 'Please, Hawaiian style, Duane Dog Chapman.' I tried to have her call me Dog for so many years. She said, 'Please do this right,' so I appreciate everyone being here. I have to go out on the boat so I can see everybody right, its Hawaiian tradition and style. Thank you all, God bless, Aloha." The reality star was cremated, per her final wishes. The Chapman family hosted a public gathering in Hawaii to honor Beth's life. The memorial service took place on Waikiki Beach and included chants, prayers and a paddle out with family and friends. Attendees were also asked to bring ocean friendly loose flowers. A second memorial service will be held in Colorado. Beth died Wednesday, June 26 following her battle with throat cancer. She was 51 years old. Her passing came soon after news broke that she had been placed in a medically induced coma. "When she had an attack, I didn't know anything to do but say 'in Jesus' name' and hold her. And when I said, 'in Jesus' name' she said, 'Say it again. Say it more,'" Dog said while tearfully recalling his wife's final words during an interview with reporters. "Then she, you know, told the girls and everybody with her mouth and stuff -- she came out of it a couple times -- 'I love you,' 'Are you guys all OK?' 'Don't worry,' but she never accepted it." After she died, several stars paid tribute to Beth on social media. Her family members did, as well. "I'll never forget you, mama. You were such a strong woman, and you taught me to always be strong," her youngest daughter Bonnie Chapman shared. "You were strong for everyone, and you taught me it's OK to let go." Beth revealed she was diagnosed with stage II throat cancer in September 2017. She allowed cameras to document her health journey on an A&E special titled Dog & Beth: Fight of Their Lives. After undergoing a 13-hour surgery, Beth was declared cancer-free. However, fans learned her cancer had returned in November 2018 after the celebrity was rushed to the hospital to remove a tumor that had been obstructing her breathing. Our thoughts go out to the Chapman family at this time. (Eonline)
