Pippa Middleton marries James Matthews
British socialite Pippa Middleton married her longtime beau, hedge-fund manager James Matthews, Saturday in Englefield, England.

"The church bells at St. Marks's Church began to peal. They are man and wife!" a source told E! News.

Middleton is the younger sister of Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and the sister-in-law of Kate's husband, Prince William, who both attended the wedding, along with William's brother, Prince Harry.

Kate and William's 3-year-old son, Prince George, served as a page boy while their 2-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, was a bridesmaid.

People magazine said the bride arrived at the church with her father, Michael. She was dressed in a custom, silk and cotton lace gown by Giles Deacon with short sleeves and wore her long, brown hair in an up-do with a veil.


LOOSE LIPS:
"You're nothing if you're not the truth. I've made a living, I've made a life - I've made a fortune, really - all good! - from being true to myself. If I can leave you with any message today: The biggest reward is not financial benefits, though it's really good, you can get a lot of great shoes! Those of you who have a lot of shoes know having a closet full of shoes doesn't fill up your life. Living a life of substance can. Substance through your service."
--Oprah Winfrey, delivering the commencement address at Agnes Scott College

Which singer denied pregnancy rumors on 'Ellen'?

Jessica Simpson denied pregnancy rumors Monday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The 36-year-old singer and designer shut down reports she's pregnant and expecting her third child with husband Eric Johnson.

"I'm not pregnant on your show," Simpson, who previously appeared during both of her pregnancies, told DeGeneres.

"We got an IUD. Nothing's going to get in that uterus," she joked. "I have two beautiful children and I'm not having a third. They're too cute. You really can't top that."

Simpson and Johnson, who married in 2014, share 5-year-old daughter Maxwell and 3-year-old son Ace. The designer confirmed she hired mermaid performers and their "handlers" for Maxwell's birthday party in May.

"They had to be carried if they had to pee," she said of the women's restrictive silicon outfits. "They're literally, like, in the pool the whole time with the kids, trying to teach them to how to be mermaids. They had to be carried away [to the bathroom]."

Simpson had shared a family photo and dedicated a sweet message to Maxwell on her birthday May 1.

"My baby Maxwell is 5 years old today. She makes everyone's life mermaid magical," the star captioned the picture. "Happy Birthday to our fairytale princess. Mommy, Daddy, and Ace love you with our 'holy hearts' (as Max would say) #MerMax #MAXIDREW #canyoube5forever."
