Matthew Robinson

at the Church Estates Vineyards in Malibu on Saturday, People.com reports.

The 30-minute outdoor ceremony took place on Saturday evening, and about 150 guests watched as the blushing bride made her way down a grassy lawn, decorated with rose petals, in a white strapless gown designed by

Vera Wang

.

"Our wedding day was everything we'd hope it would be," Bedingfield, 27, told Us magazine in a statement. "It was simple, beautiful and natural. Free from trappings or formalities, it was more about expressing our love for one another in front of those we hold dearest to us than anything else."

"We are now very much looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. Love is hard to find, so when you do find it, hang on to it!" she added.

Bedingfield annoucned her engagement to Robinson in September. "I am so excited. It happened in New York. And I want to share it with the world. ... I'm the luckiest girl in the world," she said at the time.

"My fiancé Matt is hotter to me than

David Beckham

," she said. "He is honest, funny, charming and hot."

Congrats to you both!

star for seven and a half years, is believed to have got down on bended knee and popped the question to Flockhart on Valentine's Day while the pair were on holiday together.

We've been here before. Rumours of an engagement swirled last year, as well as talk that Ford wanted to adopt Flockhart's adopted son, Liam.

Could Ford and Flockhart be skipping down the aisle? Snitches close to the pair seem to think so.

No news of a date yet.

Rumour patrol: Madonna dumps Jesus?

newspaper: "They danced together very close lots of times. He whispered things in her ear, grabbed her hand, put his hand around her waist... it seemed clear he was after something."

The same report claims that Luz and Luciana were spotted together the morning after.

Hung up

But that wasn't the only nail in the coffin. The gruesome twosome reportedly had a ding-dong over her hang-up with his mobile phone. Word has it the

singer threw a hissy fit after she caught him chatting on his phone to his family.

"And she just turned on him," a snitch tells the Mail Online. "She told him it was rude for him to take a phone call in front of her."

But baby Jesus stood his ground. "He stood up for himself and they had quite a heated argument," the snitch added. "Madonna agreed to let him answer the mobile when she's around, but only in emergencies."

But control freak Madge is a lady of double-standards it seems. Luz is said to be furious that she's still using her own mobile in front of him.

"If her phone rings and she wants to take the call, she'll do it," the snitch said. "This is not a relationship of equals."

And there's more. Madge has reportedly caused ill-feeling between Luz and his Brazilian clan.

"His family claims they always know when he's with her because they can't get him on the phone," a snitch said.

"And it's true. He'll see his phone ringing and he just has to let it go."

Virgin on the ridicilous

And so the walls came crashing down on the fledgling romance.

Madge's decision to bring the curtain down on her naughty love was catalysed by Luz's supposed dalliance with a lingerie gal - a minx who supposedly snidely told reporters last week: "Jesus had great things to say about Madonna and he doesn't care she is so much older." Ouch.

Madge obviously gives a hoot. A snitch explains: "Madonna has just come out of a very long and difficult relationship.

"She was drawn to Jesus. But it was just a bit of fun and she's enjoyed herself. But she is growing bored of the relationship and her family comes first. He would ruin her chances of adopting again. And the pictures of him with Luciana made her realise that he'll be better suited to somebody his own age."

So the former Mrs. Ritchie was worried her love affair with Jesus could harm her chances of adopting a second child from Malawi.

She was reported as saying last week: "Many people, especially our Malawian friends, say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister.

"It's something I have been considering, but would only do if I had the support of the Malawian people and government."

But Madge probably thinks that's all a pipe dream if she hangs on to Jesus.

What a fickle pair. They only

last week, and now it's supposedly curtains for their blossoming romance. Let's take a moment to reflect on this TTF.

Woe is Li-Lo

Unemployed actress/model/whatever (AMW)

Lindsay Lohan

has had an epiphany and realized what we've known for years: she's a jobless wonder.

In an interview with

Nylon

magazine, the lady of perpetual commotion throws her own pity party, and we're all invited.

"It's scary when you realize, 'Oh my God, I'm not working. And I have a house to pay for now.'... and there's been some things I've really wanted to do. Like the one movie I've wanted to do for so long is Alice in Wonderland [directed by Tim Burton]. But, um, that didn't work out... it is what it is," she said.

Still, at least you managed to get one acting gig while you're 'resting'. But beggars can't be choosers, which is probably why you agreed to this oddball advert for Italian fashion label Fornarina.

"Click. Flash. Wow. Bang. Wink. Smack. Splash. Smash. Crash. Glam, pink, heart," Li-Lo mutters as we're transported back to a neon-infused '80s for no apparent reason.
