  • Nikki Sixx: Mötley Crüe Bassist Gets Married

    Mötley Crüe bassist, Nikki Sixx, tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend, model Courtney Bingham Saturday.

    Complete with peacocks greeting the 130 guests upon their arrival, family and friends gathered at Greystone Mansion in Los Angeles to witness the “gothic rock meets French countryside” wedding, according to People Magazine.

    The 28-year-old bride wore a custom-made gown made by her aunt who owns Janene’s Bridal Boutique, in Northern California.

    “I used to drive her nuts when I was younger trying on a million dresses,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

    Bingham said she didn’t want a traditional dress and was inspired by a dress worn by actress Jennifer Lawrence that she came upon in a magazine.

    “I saw Jennifer Lawrence two years ago at the Oscars falling gracefully, perfectly, as she goes up to accept her award, and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, the back of that dress!’,” said Bingham.

    The couple became engaged over a year ago. Sixx, 55, proposed while on vacation with the How2Girl expert in St. Bart’s.

    Stylist Halle Reum threw a bridal shower March 2 at the Hotel Bel Air, decorated with flower arrangements created by the bride herself.

    This is Sixx’ third marriage. He was married to Playboy playmate Brandi Brandt for seven years and actress Donna D’Errico for 11 years.

    Brandi Brandt Faces Charges In Drug Syndicate

    Brandi Brandt, the former Playboy model, is now facing charges after being accused of participating in a drug syndicate.

    Brandt allegedly helped hide a “commercial quantity” of cocaine on Qantas and United Airlines planes which was later picked up by employees of the catering companies that service airlines. Because the transports were done between L.A. and Sydney, Australia, Brandt has been extradited in order to face charges there next month.

    Brandt’s involvement in the syndicate stems from around 2007, and she reportedly also handled about $121,000 in drug money. Her ex-boyfriend, Rusty Setser, is accused along with her and has already been extradited to Australia. It’s not known what sort of sentence either might receive, but life in prison is a possibility. Brandt’s lawyer told the Australian Press that she has not entered a plea yet and hasn’t issued a public comment on the situation.

    “Anyone who is in custody getting extradited to another country that is very far away would not be happy, I guess,” Anthony Solis said. “She hasn’t expressed any particular emotion about it.”

    The 45-year old actress and model was one of Playboy’s most popular girls in the ’80s and was at one time married to Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue. The former couple shares three children.
