Khloé Packs On Love Pounds After Marriage
Is Khloé Kardashian already too comfortable with new hubby and notorious sugar junkie Lamar Odom?
The 25-year-old E! reality starlet shed 25 pounds prior to tying the knot with her basketball beau Sept. 27. But since meeting Lamar, Khloé has found it tougher to stay focused.
"I stopped my QuickTrim diet for a little bit around the time I met Lamar," Khloé told us Tuesday at the Kardashian Charity Knock Out event at the Commerce Casino outside L.A. "I was so in love, and I was at my perfect weight, and I didn't want to do it anymore. Since marriage, I've gained about five pounds."
But Khloé assures us she's ready to get serious again...

Kim Kardashian on Khloé's Wedding: I Thought It Was Going to Be Me
There's a National Enquirer report going around today that our own E! star Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend, Reggie Bush, are planning a secret wedding once football season ends.
She cleared that rumor up on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM show this morning. "Gosh, I hope so," Kim K. sighed. "I don't know, I haven't heard that one. No, I'm definitely not planning my wedding."
It's this "Gosh, I hope so" that makes us think Kim might have been a little jeally of her little sister's quickie wedding. Ryan got her to address that too...
Jennifer Esposito's Reality-TV Wedding?
We'll call this one love-all.
We may not have even cared known that they were dating, but Rescue Me's Jennifer Esposito is going to tie the knot with tennis star turned reality-show love-seeker Mark Philippoussis.
"They are happily engaged and enjoying their time together," a rep for Philippoussis told People.
There's no word on a wedding date just yet, but it'll mark the second trip down the aisle for Esposito—who, for the briefest of flashes, enjoyed life as Mrs. Bradley Cooper—and the first for the consonant-favoring Aussie sports star.
The duo got engaged over the summer, which, incidentally, seems to be the most productive season for Philippoussis' love life. Just two years ago, he starred in NBC's reality smarmfest Age of Love, in which he was tasked with choosing a ladylove from one of two groups: the kittens or the cougars. He chose the former.
But seeing as how the 32-year-old athlete opted this time around for a (slightly) older woman in 36-year-old star of Rescue Me and Crash, he's clearly learned from his mistakes.

Whoopi Spills Beans on Elisabeth Moss and Fred Armisen's Quiet, Quirky Wedding
Peggy Sue Olson got married!
After a 10-month engagement, Mad Men star Elisabeth Moss and Saturday Night Live funnyman Fred Armisen tied the knot in New York yesterday—the one-year anniversary of Jon Hamm's SNL hosting stint, a date that also happened to be the very first meeting of the newlyweds.
Moss' rep confirmed to E! News that the duo swapped vows at The Foundry in Long Island City yesterday. Moss modeled a Claire Pettibone gown in a ceremony attended by family and friends.
No word on whether those friends included Don Draper himself or any SNL cohorts; considering the couple's well-guarded privacy, we may never know.
Which means we'll just have to assume Armisen promised his Scientologist bride a pan, a comb and perhaps a cat.
In fact, we can thank a rather surprising source that their nuptials went public...
Ivanka Weds in Typically Trump Fashion
We've gotta hand it to them—understated is just not a Trump thing.
Ivanka Trump wrapped her three-month engagement on Sunday, tying the knot with publisher fiancé Jared Kushner before 500 friends and famiy members in a private ceremony, according to People.
The intimate lavish affair took place at one of The Donald's countless stomping grounds, Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey, with Ivanka walking down the aisle in a Grace Kelly-inspired Vera Wang gown.
On hand to entertain at the reception was Donald Trump bestie Regis Philbin, who serenaded the newlyweds.
In the hours leading up to her big day, the bride kept fans in the mix via Twitter.
"At a very casual 'rehearsal' dinner with friends...just 5 of my lady friends and me having a casual dinner and getting excited," Trump tweeted Saturday night. "Perfect!"
And prewedding jitters?
Bruce Jenner Confirms Khloé's Post-, er, Prenup
Memo to Bruce Jenner: There might be a reason your family likes keeping you in the dark.
The loosest-lipped member of the reality clan is at it again, this time becoming the first family member to go on the record about stepdaughter Khloé Kardashian's hitherto unconfirmed prenup with Lamar Odom.
"Khloé is very smart," he said at last night's launch of his new son-in-law's clothing line, Rich Soil. "They both have careers and assets and that's the smart thing to do, for both of them. I think they're doing the right thing."
Just as long as he doesn't also think he won't be on the receiving end of a few stink-eyes around the family table, it shouldn't be a problem.
Fortunately, he didn't divulge any specifics.
"You've seen the show! I get told nothing," he said.
Sources close to the Kardashian clan said that the newlyweds' prenup negotiations were amicable and far from the dramafest that's been reported.
As for who would get what...
Mark Ballas' Girlfriend Is Ready to Rumba
Will Mark Ballas bring his real-life romance to the dance floor?
The Dancing With the Stars pro hoofer's girlfriend, singer Joanna Pacitti, tells us she'd love to compete on ABC's hit cha-cha competition show.
"I would love to do it," Pacitti, 25, told us at this weekend's Project Angel Food benefit in L.A. "I love watching him. It brings the biggest smile to my face, so I can't imagine how happy I'd be dancing with him."
The two-time disco-ball-trophy-winning Ballas, 23, is in favor of the idea, too...
Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor Ties the Knot
Trent Reznor wrote a song called "Ringfinger" on his first album, and now he's finally ready to put something on that digit.
The 44-year-old Nine Inch Nails star married Mariqueen Maandig in a ceremony Saturday, E! News has learned.
Former West Indian Girl singer Maandig announced news of their engagement on the band's website in May.
The groom's bandmate Danny Lohner broke news of the newlyweds' nuptials via Twitter, writing, "Goths the world over will mourn this day – off to a wedding" and posted a pic of the newlyweds dancing together with the caption "Congrats!"
Celebrity photographer Robert Evans, who's done Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding as well as that of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, shot the ceremony.
Mad Men's Christina Hendricks Weds!
Mad Men star Christina Hendricks owes Vincent Kartheiser big-time.
The 34-year-old actress, who plays Joan Holloway on the Emmy-winning AMC series, wed her actor beau, Geoffrey Arend, Sunday at II Buco restaurant in New York, according to People.
The couple became engaged in December 2008 after Kartheiser, Hendrick's Mad Men costar, introduced them.
Hendricks, who called her Carolina Herrera bridal gown "timeless," said she and her 31-year-old hubby wanted to keep the ceremony small.
"We really wanted it to be filled with our absolute best friends and our family", Hendricks told E! News in September. "We didn't want to spread ourselves too thin and we really wanted it to have a warm environment, so we kept it with the tightest people."
A wedding and all that Mad Men Emmy love? Definitely not a bad year for the saucy TV secretary.

The Office Wedding Dance-Off!
You could call it Jim and Pam versus Jill and Kevin, except Jim and Pam didn't dance, unlike Jill and Kevin.
So, maybe you should just call it Dunder Mifflin gets down. Or tries to.
Last night's long-awaited Halpert-Beasley merger on The Office was attended by 9.1 million, per preliminary Nielsen estimates. The highlight of the hourlong episode, non-Meemaw division, was the spoof of this past summer's YouTube hit, "JK Wedding Entrance Dance."
Or, what you could call a spoof within a spoof.
Top Chef's Ashley: Prop 8 and the Wedding Challenge
Top Chef contestant Ashley Merriman is not against cooking at straight weddings.
So what was her beef with this season's wedding challenge?
It was all about timing. "My objection was more about the decision to have this challenge at the height of Proposition 8," Merriman tells me.
"It was not about the bachelor and bachelorette. I don't have any problems with them. When somebody comes and wants to propose in my restaurant I'm the first person putting the ring in the chocolate cake."
Fortunately, it wasn't her politics that got her eliminated on last night's show. Read on for the first of my weekly Top Chef exit interviews with the season's 10 remaining cheftestants.
