  • 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.

  • Sofia Vergara Serenaded by Groom-to-Be at Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

    Sofia Vergara is getting married to Joe Manganiello today in Palm Beach, Florida. Saturday night found the entire wedding party gathered for a rehearsal dinner and celebration.

    Part of that celebration turned incredibly sweet when Manganiello serenaded his bride-to-be. The Magic Mike XXL star sang “Sweet Child of Mine” to Sofia Vergara.

    A source tells Us Weekly of the obvious love between Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello on the night before their wedding.

    “As he sang, Sofia threw her arms up in the air and screamed as she approached the stage,” the source says. “Joe crouched down to meet her gaze and said, ‘Te amo,’ into the microphone. Sofia grabbed his neck and they kissed a dozen times. Then Joe jumped off the stage and they continued kissing and embraced.”

    Several of Sofia Vergara’s Modern Family costars were in attendance at the night-before festivities. Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland, Dominic Sherwood, Eric Stonestreet, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson celebrated along with Sofia and Joe on their last evening as singles.

    Joe Manganiello’s Magic Mike XXL costar Channing Tatum was there with wife Jenna Dewan, too.

    Sofia Vergara was a stunning bride-to-be, wearing a form fitting white lace and mesh tea-length dress to the rehearsal dinner and party. Joe Manganiello wore a black tux. Guests had a fun evening, dancing to Latin music until the wee hours. Nothing quite compared, however, to that moment when Joe serenaded Sofia Vergara in front of the entire crowd.

    Capping off the romantic evening, Sofia Vergara shared an Instagram shot she captioned very simply.

    “Goodnight,” it reads.

  • Ariel Winter: ‘Modern Family’ Star Talks Breast Reduction Surgery

    Ariel Winter underwent breast reduction surgery back on June 4. The Modern Family star dishes about the reason behind the surgery and the results in an interview with Glamour.com.

    The 17-year-old actress experienced a sudden and overwhelming breast development at the age of 15 that left her carrying around size 32F breasts. The pain that accompanies breasts that large can be excruciating.

    “It really did happen overnight,” Ariel Winter says of her unexpected breast growth. “I remember being in my sister’s wedding and being so flat and thinking, ‘I just wish I could grow boobs!’ And then overnight I did. But then they kept growing and growing and growing, and it didn’t seem like they were going to stop.”

    The emotional pain of such sudden and large breast development was difficult for the teen. Not only did she have these sudden bodily changes, but she had to endure them while almost constantly in the public eye.

    “I was 15 years old with [size] F [breasts],” Winter says. “How do you navigate that?”

    Ariel Winter was dismayed by the way people concentrated on the size of her breasts rather than on her talent as an actress.

    “It made me feel really uncomfortable, because as women in the industry, we are totally oversexualized and treated like objects,” she says. “Every article that has to do with me on a red carpet had to do with ‘Ariel Winter’s Crazy Cleavage!’ or ‘Ariel Winter Shows Huge Boobs at an Event!’ That’s all people would recognize me by – not, ‘Oh, she does great work on Modern Family.’”

    Ariel Winter only told a few close friends and family members that she was undergoing breast reduction surgery. Now she has decided to share her story with all who are interested.

    “I didn’t want to not tell anybody and then have another million stories [say], ‘What happened to Ariel? She looks so different.’ And I also think there’s some good that can come from [telling] my story. It’s something that I did to better my life and better my health, and I think that can benefit a lot of young girls. I have felt happier with myself than I ever have.”

    Ariel Winter’s Modern Family co-stars Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara have been especially supportive.

    “I told [only] Julie Bowen because I had talked to her before about my desire to have the surgery. She was really supportive and understanding. I just saw Sofia the other day, and she was like, ‘Oh my God! I love them! They’re great!’”

    Ariel Winter will make her first public appearance since her breast reduction surgery in September at the Emmy Awards. She is very excited about the upcoming event.

    “I’m just excited to try on all the dresses!” she says. “Now I can wear all styles of dresses and all styles of things,” she says. “I don’t always have to pick the tightest, most formfitting dress I can find. I can pick something else and still feel good about myself. I couldn’t do that before. I’m excited to finally actually feel confident and not just appear confident.”

    Kudos to Ariel Winter–not only for her breast reduction surgery, but for sharing it so others considering such a life change can learn from her experience.

  • Sofia Vergara, Joe Manganiello Set Wedding Date, But When?

    Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello know when they’re getting married. The Modern Family star admits her wedding date is set. Unfortunately she isn’t divulging any details–either to her fans or her costars.

    It was at Paleyfest 2015 on Sunday where Sofia Vergara was promoting Modern Family that she dished–sort of–about her wedding date.

    E! News asked Sofia how her wedding planning is going.

    “It’s going,” she said.

    “You know it takes time,” she added. “It’s gonna be something very important for me, so we’re trying to do it right.”

    So what about that wedding date?

    “Oh yeah, we knew since the beginning what date,” she told E! News.

    But she didn’t tell them when.

    Even Sofia Vergara’s costar Julie Bowen is clueless when it comes to wedding details. She appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show recently and chatted about the impending nuptials.

    “I like to lie about it,” she explained. “People always ask and I think it would be fun if we had a clue, but I don’t know if she has a clue…They’re either gonna run away and elope or it’s gonna be 1,000 people.”

    Alas, no one is any closer to knowing when Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello will tie that proverbial knot.

    The couple is working on starting their family, however. They’ve reportedly found a surrogate to help them bring a baby into the world.

    In other Sofia Vergara news, the Colombian beauty is also busy promoting her upcoming film with Reese Witherspoon. Hot Pursuit hits theaters on May 8th.

  • Sarah Hyland Busted Doing the Unthinkable — Munching on Pizza on the SAG Red Carpet

    Sarah Hyland was caught doing what most actresses only long to do — she grabbed a piece of pizza and she chowed down on it while on the red carpet at Sunday’s 21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles.

    Yes, that’s right, she did the unthinkable.

    And by the way, Sarah Hyland looked fabulous as she was caught in the act in a plunging, beaded beige, pink and black gown.

    LA Times writer Yvonne Villarreal uploaded a pic of the 24-year-old actress’ unthinkable action on social media, which made women across the country commend her courageous move.

    Sarah Hyland was at the awards ceremony with her fellow Modern Family cast mates, who were nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Unfortunately, they lost out to the cast of Netflix’s Orange is The New Black.

    It also wasn’t the best of nights for the Modern Family stars Ty Burrell (who won last year), Eric Stonestreet and Julie Bowen, who were nominated for Outstanding Performances by a Male and Female actor respectively. None of them walked home with the coveted prize this year.

    On the other hand, Modern Family tied with Birdman for most nominations at this year’s SAG Awards.

  • Nicole Richie Honors Drew Barrymore at Gala

    Nicole Richie was just one of the Baby2Baby board members on hand to help honor Drew Barrymore on Sunday. Barrymore was honored for her involvement with the nonprofit that provides the essential needs for many underprivileged children.

    Richie attended the event with hubby Joel Madden, and was among the first to get a view of Drew Barrymore’s baby bump. Drew covered that bump with a Tory Burch gown for the gala.

    “I work really closely with them because I wish that there were organizations like Baby2Baby for so many more areas in life,” she said. “I think good people are inherent givers and so to have a place where you can give so much and it’s so local and so well organized and so perfect for mothers to share for mothers … I think this is the perfect organization for moms.”

    It’s always inspiring when Hollywood celebrities opt to share some of their wealth and even more importantly their name and status to help those so much less fortunate than themselves. It lends an air of credibility to some of these people who more often than not appear to live in bubbles–oblivious to the world around them.

    Kelly Sawyer Patricof and Norah Weinstein are Baby2Baby’s co-presidents. They know that despite the fact that their organization has served more than 67,000 children, more help is needed. And Weinstein makes it clear that they can never have enough of one particular need.

    “Diapers,” she says, noting that the organization’s goal is to donate 27 million. “Cribs are a close second because there’s the kids all over the city sleeping on the floors, sleeping on shared beds so they’re a close second to warm clothes and everything else.”

    Kudos to celebrities like Nicole Richie, Drew Barrymore, Julie Bowen and more who donate their time, their money and their famous faces and names to Baby2Baby. They are setting a fine example for all celebrities who have the power to do lots of good with their fame and fortune.
