Bachelor’s Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney Wed in Downpour!
Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney got married on a wet Saturday afternoon at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., a source confirms to UsMagazine.com.
The ceremony took place on a lawn overlooking the ocean; the couple exchanged vows beneath an altar made of tree branches, white lillies and orchids. Wearing a strapless Monique Lhuillier gown and Neil Lane jewels, holding an all-white bouquet, Malaney walked down the aisle as American Idol alum Jason Castro performed “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” White doves were released in the middle of the ceremony.
As the couple read their vows, it started pouring. Mesnick and Malaney had a good laugh as they got drenched. Following their kiss, Castro sang “That’s What I’m Here For” as Mr. and Mrs. Mesnick walked out.
Among the party’s 250 guests — to be broadcast in a two-hour ABC special March 8 — were Bachelor alum Trista and Ryan Sutter. Melissa Rycroft, the “final rose” recipient famously dumped by Mesnick on-air (Malaney was initially his runner-up) during the tumultuous thirteenth season, was not present.

As X Factor’s ‘Mr Nasty’, Simon Cowell is not known for his sensitive side. But the talent-show guru had to hold back his tears when he re-lived the moment he discovered his father had died.
With tragic irony, Cowell learned the news after he called his mother to share his ‘euphoria’ that his group Westlife had their first No1.
The 50-year-old welled up as he recalled the memory on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, two weeks after Gordon Brown also became dewy-eyed on the ITV1 talk show when speaking of the death of his baby daughter Jennifer.

Sex, drugs and Simon Cowell
SINCE leaving Simon Cowell speechless with his sexually charged performances on American Idol, outrageous pop prince Adam Lambert has become one of the most controversial stars in the States.
The openly gay 28-year-old’s raunchy routines, unique style and outspoken attitude have seen him dubbed Lad GaGa (although he thinks his close friend Lady G should be known as “Madam Lambert”).
And for that reason, he’s about to take the UK by storm, with his first visit planned for next month.
