Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, 28, married this weekend. June last year, I recall Bill Gates outing the couple as engaged, then retracting the statement that girlfriend-of-nine-years Priscilla Chan, 27, was Zuckerberg’s ‘fiancee.’ But I guess they’ve been engaged all this time, because they got married on Saturday. Which is only news because Zuckerberg announced it on Facebook making proper use of the timeline feature which is the first and only time I’ve seen any one do that. Despite conjecture to the contrary, no, it was not timed to coincide after the IPO where Zuckerberg made $16.9 billion since the IPO date wasn’t known until days beforehand. The wedding was planned four-months in advance to coincide with Chan’s graduation from University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine. According to reports: ‘Zuckerberg’s wedding was in his backyard, before fewer than 100 guests, who thought they were there to celebrate Chan’s graduation.’ Zuckerberg designed ‘very simple ruby’ ring.

Because these things no longer come with a statement from a rep, it’s no surprise for me to learn that Kate Hudson probably stealth-married Matthew Bellamy (as Natalie Portman did Benjamin Millepied at some point before the 2012 Academy Awards). The news doesn’t come from a red carpet SMUG-walk, as it did Portman/ Millepied, but from what appears to have been an OOPS! during an interview with her mother, Goldie Hawn, who spoke to the UK’s Evening Standard newspaper (specifically, its supplement, ES Magazine). Hawn strongly suggested her daughter married without fanfare: ‘My kids are fantastic with their children, they have an amazing parental ethic and I’m very proud of them for that. When my daughter Kate married an English rock star [Matt Bellamy] it didn’t worry me. All that matters is that the relationship is a good one.’

Despite misinformation spread by TMZ.com, shortly after Halle Berry was seen wearing an emerald on her ring finger, Olivier Martinez has confirmed that they’re engaged. It was assumed at the sight of the engagement ring that Berry was engaged. What followed was supposition about the proposal along with sourced reports from the alleged jeweller. Not realising it’s pointless to fight the contrived lies of profiteers leeching off a story, Martinez appears to have confirmed only to slam the people taking credit for the ring. Asked ‘ORLY?’ he replied ‘YA RLY!’ Of the report Star Magazine is now taking credit for, he said: ‘Yes, of course it’s true.’ Asked for specifics, he continued: ‘There is a jeweller taking credit for doing the ring and it’s a lie. They have nothing to do with this.’
