  • Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello Say ‘I Do’

    Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are now officially husband and wife!

    The eye-candy couple said “I do” at The Breakers Palm Beach resort in Florida on Sunday, surrounded by nearly 400 of their close family and friends, including Sofia’s Modern Family castmates.

    The 43-year-old actress’ son, Manolo, walked his mother down the aisle to marry her 38-year-old fiancé, who wore a John Varvatos tux.

    According to People magazine, Vergara looked like a princess wearing “a white strapless silk-tulle dress with a sweetheart neckline and hand-embroidered 3D embellishments on the bodice. A pearl beaded belt highlighted her waist, and a huge detachable skirt brought the drama. She finished her sparkly look with Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings to the tune of 55 carats, plus more diamonds by the designer in her hair and on her wrist.”

    Modern Family castmates Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ty Burell, Julie Bowen, Ed O’Neill, Ariel Winter, and Sarah Hyland were on hand to wish their friends well. Other celebrity guests included her Hot Pursuit co-star Reese Witherspoon, his Magic Mike co-star Channing Tatum and wife Jenna Dewan, True Blood‘s Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harvey Weinstein, Georgina Chapman, Roselyn Sanchez and more were also in attendance.

    According to CBS News, the guests were asked to check their cellphones and cameras into a security table prior to entering the wedding venue.

    The ceremony was the culmination of a weekend-long event that included parties, a rehearsal dinner at The Brazilian Court Hotels’ Café Boulud, followed by a dessert party back at the Breakers that lasted into the wee hours of the morning on Saturday.

    In lieu of gifts, the couple has requested that donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

    This is Sofia Vergara’s second marriage and the first for Joe Manganiello.

  • Christina Applegate Says Kelly Bundy Probably Has Kids, Talks About Her Own

    Christina Applegate Says Kelly Bundy Probably Has Kids, Talks About Her Own

    Christina Applegate has come a long way since Married … With Children. The former Kelly Bundy has made a name for herself in comedy films alongside some heavyweight names.

    Applegate’s former TV family, including Ed O’Neill and Katey Sagal, have done well for themselves too. Ed O’Neill is the patriarch of the family at the core of the hit series Modern Family, while Sagal was the matriarch of the biker brood in Sons of Anarchy. Only David Faustino has kept a lower profile, often appearing as himself on shows or voicing animated characters.

    The latest news is that Faustino will get a Married … With Children spinoff based on his character of Bud Bundy. It has been confirmed that Christina Applegate will at least guest star from time to time, and other Bundy family members may drop in too.

    Speaking about where she thinks Kelly Bundy might be today, Christina Applegate said, “Kelly Bundy probably has like 10 kids. I’m sure of it.”

    Then Applegate should fit into the role just fine. She spoke with People recently about her own fun with her little family, including her husband Martyn LeNoble and daughter Sadie Grace.

    “I barely survived the Terrible Twos,” Christina Applegate revealed. “The fours are pretty gnarls too. She is pushing so many boundaries right now. I say, ‘Please put that down. Please put that down. Please put that down.’ It’s crazy man.”

    As any parent can attest, it’s still all worth it.

    “My favorite time is just when it’s the two of us and we are having lunch and talking,” said Applegate.

    As many moms have done, including new mom Zoe Saldana, Applegate makes sure her acting career makes room for her family.

    “I won’t take on a project unless the family can make the decision that it is worth the sacrifice of me not seeing Sadie all day long and uprooting everyone if it’s on location,” Applegate said.

    “After I did Anchorman 2, I asked for a year and a half off, which meant they weren’t allowed to call me about anything. And they didn’t,” she says. “I just mom’d it up.”

  • Katey Sagal And Original Cast Set To Return For ‘Married… With Children’

    Spinoffs. Spinoffs everywhere.

    Actor producer David Faustino has already set his eyes on the revamp of another American sitcom Married… with Children, with Katey Sagal and Ed O’Neill returning as the defunct man and wife of the family.

    “Sony has it. They’re excited about it. They’re working out some legal issues that we hope work out,” said Faustino at the Vacation premiere of his former Married… with Children co-star, Christina Applegate.

    Despite their current projects, the original cast were eager to reprise their roles.

    “The whole cast, including Christina, is down to do little bits in it,” he added.

    “All of us have said we would all be there for [David],” said the excited Applegate, who played the “dumb blonde” Kelly Bundy in the series.

    The 90’s sitcom features the Bundys, a dysfunctional family living in the Chicago suburbs. Sagal and O’neill played the parent Bundys, while Faustino acted as their second child Bud Bundy.

    This new series will be centered around Bud Bundy, seeing that Sagal is currently committed to the FX series The Bastard Executioner. O’neill also has his hands full starring in the award-winning ABC sitcom  Modern Family.

    The original sitcom that ran for 11 seasons from ‘87 to ’97 was the first primetime TV series featured on Fox. The show ran on the humor of a typical family with stereotypical characters with O’neill as Al bundy, the once celebrated high-school jock turned to a measly shoe salesman who can’t stand his lazy obnoxious wife, Peggy Bundy played by Sagal.

    The direction of this remake is still in the dark as Faustino’s representative has yet to respond to related questions.

  • Ed O’Neill Helps to Raise Funds For Documentary on Controversial Congressman

    Ed O’Neill is helping to raise funds for a documentary about a colorful U.S. congressman from his native northeast Ohio.

    The Modern Family star is aiding filmmaker Eric Murphy in a crowdfunding campaign to raise $17,500 to finish production and add a different ending to Traficant: Congressman of Crimetown.

    The 90-minute documentary was finished and ready to be submitted to the Sundance Film Festival when Rep. James A. Traficant Jr., 73, died in September following a tractor accident on his family’s farm in Greenford, Ohio.

    Murphy decided he needed to change the ending to the documentary to reflect the demise of the former congressman.

    “We humbly ask for support from documentary fans, political junkies and everyone in between,” said Murphy. “Traficant was larger than life — with equal parts congressional jester and working-class hero. Now, with his passing, the debate is re-ignited: Was he the number one target of a vengeful government or a mobbed-up pariah who violated his people’s trust?”

    O’Neill was interviewed for the documentary and added a narrative voice. Backers who pledge at least $2,500 get lunch with O’Neill, and according to The Plain Dealer of Cleveland, they also will get co-producer credit.

    Known for his colorful presence on the House floor, Traficant often used the phrase “Beam me up!” during his speeches. He was also famous for his interesting collection of outrageous toupees.

    Not immune to corruption, Traficant was sent packing from Congress after he was convicted on federal corruption charges. The former sheriff served 17 years in Congress and became only the second congressman expelled from Congress since the Civil War.

    He served seven years in prison before he was released in 2009.

  • Sofia Vergara Frolics Down Under in Sexy Monokini; Sarah Hyland Allegedly Groped

    Sofia Vergara and the rest of the Modern Family cast made waves in Australia this week while filming scenes for their ABC sitcom.

    Despite the crew’s outings around Sydney, however, Vergara commanded most of the attention when she wore a daring Agent Provocateur Mazzy monokini on Friday while filming.

    Vergara and the rest of the cast filmed Modern Family scenes at Bondi Beach, where the gorgeous 41-year-old Colombian stole the show in her paneled and cut-out hot pink, lime, and orange bandage swimsuit. The actress paired the bright monokini with a low-slung, purple, sarong-style skirt and hoop earrings.

    Vergara, who plays Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on the show, didn’t allow work to interfere with her fun, snapping selfies and clowning around with Ed O’Neill (Jay Pritchett, Vergara’s on-screen husband) and Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy), who plays the husband of Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy) on the show.

    In one shot, Vergara is all-smiles while posing next to an oblivious O’Neill, captioning the photograph on her WhoSay account, “Ed [sic] look at the camera!!!!”

    In another photo, Vergara splashes in the surf with 45-year-old Burrell, who wears only swim trunks.

    Burrell’s on-screen daughter, Haley, played by 23-year-old Sarah Hyland, also sported a monokini on the beach, though she wore frilled blue number. Hyland seemed to be carefree, smiling while relaxing in a beach chair, though the star experienced a scary encounter with a fan on Thursday evening.

    While at a party in Sydney at The Sebel Pier One, Hyland was allegedly touched inappropriately by a fan. The actress and her boyfriend, Matt Prokop, both Tweeted about the incident, though Prokop’s was later deleted.
