Alan Cumming Ties The Knot With Grant Shaffer

Actor Alan Cumming has married his long-time love Grant Shaffer for the second time.
The couple celebrated the fifth anniversary of their civil partnership in London by exchanging vows in New York this weekend.
The 46-year-old Scot revealed the news on Twitter, writing: 'I just got married!' He posted a picture of the overjoyed couple embracing after the nuptials, held at the Soho Grand Hotel.
In the picture, Cumming and Shaffer are seen smiling and hugging while their are applauded by their friends and family.
'I just got married!' Alan Cumming revealed that he exchanged vows with Grant Shaffer over the weekend in New York
The Good Wife star wrote later: 'On the 5th anniversary of our wedding in London Grant and I tied the knot again in NYC!!! #eatmericksantorum'
His message 'Eat me Rick Santorum' refers to the candidate Republican nomination for president, who is vocal in his opposition to gay marriage.
The couple, who reside in New York, were first married at the Old Royal Naval College Greenwich on January 7, 2007 after two years of dating.
At 21, Cumming married his RSADA classmate Hilary Lyon.
Overjoyed: The celebration took place on the five year anniversary of the couple's civil partnership in London
They split eight years later, and Cumming was later engaged to his Circle of Friends co-star Saffron Burrows.
The X Men star, who was awarded an OBE in 2009, has labelled himself as bisexual in previous interviews.
Speaking to Oasis magazine in 2007, he said it had always been known among his inner circle, but he felt the need to 'come out' publicly.
'It was all sort of there, but when you become more famous then you realize you've got to say something... just to clarify it and talk about it, and make sure it was talked about in terms that I approved of because people try and claim you, I think. The gay community tries to claim you, the straight community tries to claim you.'
Long time love: The actor has been with Shaffer since 2005
'But I felt that was more for press stuff, because I just felt I was being misrepresented a lot of the time, mostly with people saying I was straight.
'It is confusing for people because I'd been married before. Now I'm married again, to a man, but I'd been married to a woman, and gone out with women. And then, I hadn't really had regular relationships with men, long-term ones, I mean.

Tamara Mellon Enjoys Sunbathing On St Barts Beach

She might be 44, but Tamara Mellon still boasts a figure that women half her age would be proud of.
The Jimmy Choo co-founder showed off her toned figure in a sexy animal-print bikini as she hit the beach with her daughter in St Barts yesterday.
The skimpy string two-piece highlighted Tamara's enviable curves as she enjoyed a dip in the cool water after a spot of sunbathing.
But it seemed perhaps the swimwear wasn't the most supportive option for Tamara, as the mother-of-two appeared to be struggling and looked surprised as she got caught up in a large wave while swimming in the sea.
However, the waves didn't stop Tamara from looking effortlessly stylish, and the former footwear tycoon clutched a pair of dark sunglasses as she splashed around.
Tamara has had an eventful year which saw her step down as director of luxury accessories brand Jimmy Choo.
But the pretty brunette is clearly looking forward to a successful New Year, and wrote on her Twitter page yesterday: 'Happy New Year !!! What you think you will manifest - so think positive 2012 !!'
It was announced in November that Tamara would be stepping down from her role at Jimmy Choo, in a departure which came five months after she made £85million from the £525.5million sale of the business.
At the time of the sale Tamara was said to be staying on in a creative consultancy role and that she, along with other senior members of the Jimmy Choo management team, would become shareholders in Labelux, the luxury firm that bought Jimmy Choo in May.
In a post entitled Goodbye Note on her A Day, A Thrill blog earlier this year, Tamara had posted: 'I am so proud of all we have achieved at Jimmy Choo over the last 15 years and know that the best is yet to come….Love Tamara x.'
The fashion tycoon took to her Twitter account @TamaraMellon to tell her followers personally, thanking them for their support in a tweet.
She said: 'Just retweeted all of your amazing messages - Thank you all my tweet friends. I will keep you posted!'

Dwight Howard And Chris Paul Have Been Traded To The 2012 Los Angeles Lakers Roster

Dwight Howard and Chris Paul have been traded to the 2012 Los Angeles Lakers roster. The official news story headline will probably read this once trade negotiations have been complete. According to Matt Barnes, Dwight Howard has already said he wants on with the Lakers and Chris Paul is surely the same.
"The trade will be a blockbuster deal. The NBA is loading up rosters to bring back fierce rivalries and the Los Angeles Lakers is a team that will always be one of the biggest earners. They already reported Chris Paul is going and I got an insider tip about Dwight Howard," said Youtube music artist, C.KHiD of the highly speculated trade.
If Dwight Howard is traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, it will be interesting. A lot of people are already labeling him as another Shaquille O'Neal which has to be bothersome. However, at the same time, does it matter? Every professional basketball player should want to be known as a NBA Hall of Famer with multiple championship rings and MVP trophies.
Chris Paul, still a big 'headline' amongst NBA 2012 trade talks, can find success at a wider variety of teams this season. As an LA Clipper, the lightening-speed point guard would match well with Blake Griffin. Being traded to the Boston Celtic for Rajon Rondo also leaves the Hornett's franchise player in a championship situation as well. However, Chris Paul is most likely to go to the Los Angeles Lakers as well, according to Yahoo! Sports.
Overall, fans can definitely expect to see a thrilling 2012 NBA season. If the official news headline reads 'Dwight Howard traded to the LA Lakers,' fans can expect an amazing playoff series. The Lakers Dynasty will be restored to the top shelf and Lebron's Miami Heat, Derrick Roses' Chicago Bulls, Kevin Durant's Oklahoma City Thunder, and Kevin Garnett's Boston Celtics will have a hard time competing.

"Koala Kid" Featuring Voices of SNSD Sunny

The first preview trailer of “Koala Kid,” featuring the voices of SHINee’s Taemin, SNSD’s Sunny and Yoon Da Hoon has been released. The 30-second video introduces the characters, and gives a clue to the basic storyline of the upcoming animated movie.
As earlier reported, Taemin lends his voice to a white koala Johnny, who goes on a quest to save Australia’s natural resources. Sunny voices Miranda. Other actors in the cast were also recently revealed, with Yoon Da Hoon taking on Hammish and Jung Eun Byul as Charlotte, Miranda’s little sister.
The show asked why the girls decided to move to the U.S. when they were already enjoying so much success in Korea. “A lot of people think that way, but popularity can be such a fleeting thing. At some point you eventually lose it. If you insist on holding on to it, and give up on the career path that you long dreamed of—wouldn’t you regret it more that way? There are a lot of things I learned from the U.S. promotions. We’ll probably never enjoy the same level of success as back then (in Korea), but I don’t believe we lost anything and I don’t regret moving to the U.S.,” Ye Eun said.
Recording has begun for the two idols, who are taking on the challenge of voice acting for the first time. Taemin, known for his delicate smile in person, gave Johnny the image of someone reliable that could be a true hero. Sunny, in particular, is reported to have shed her cute voice to make Miranda sound stronger. Both singers are praised for their professionalism in the dubbing sessions.“Koala Kid” (also known as “The Outback” and “Kid Koala: the Birth of a Hero”) is planned to open in cinemas in January 2012.
