High School Musical's KayCee Stroh Says 'I Do'

High School Musical star KayCee Stroh married boyfriend Ben Higginson on Friday in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Stroh and Higginson, both 24, were united in a private Mormon ceremony at the Salt Lake Temple. Afterward, the pair exchanged wedding bands at a ring ceremony attended by family and friends, including Stroh's HSM costars Monique Coleman, Ryne Sanborn and Bart Johnson, according to Stroh's rep, Scott Appel.

"I am such a romantic and this is the wedding I have dreamed of having since I was a little girl," says Stroh, who wore a custom designed Godavari Dupion Silk wedding gown by Sottero and Midgley.

Stroh, known for her role as East High's pop-and-lock girl Martha Cox, and Higginson, co-owner of a Utah-based production company, met through mutual friends at a concert in late 2007.

"The first time I saw him I had a good feeling about him. I had this feeling that told me, 'You're going to spend a lot of time in your life with this person,'" Stroh says. "We talked for hours and we had so much in common and I could tell he was an amazing person."

They became engaged on May 24, 2008 while Stroh was wrapping filming High School Musical 3 in Utah.

Following a Hawaiian honeymoon the couple plan to move to Los Angeles.

Kate Hudson (Accidentally) Punches Anne Hathaway

Getting into character a little too much, Kate Hudson says she accidentally punched her Bride Wars costar Anne Hathaway in the face during the movie's catfight scene.

"We were really tired, and I had this big rock on my finger. ... I whacked Annie in the face so hard," Hudson said on the Rachael Ray show Thursday. "She was like: No, no, keep going because she was so into it. ... Two hours later, she's sitting in the back of a car with an ice pack on her face. I was so bad. I really clocked her."

Hudson, 29, also told Ray about the main man in her life – her son Ryder.

"He's got a different brain than I do. I was all sport and energy. ... Ryder is a mind child," she says, "He really loves music, and he knows every word to "Viva La Vida," the Coldplay song."

She's also surprised how quickly he's growing.

"Today we were talking about the day he was born...and now that he's 5, it's like: Mom come on I'm going to be five for a whole year. I'm like: Wow, that's amazing, one whole hand," Hudson says.

The Travoltas Say Goodbye to Jett

John Travolta and Kelly Preston said their final goodbyes to their 16-year-old son Jett at his funeral Thursday afternoon.

Jett's service took place at Jumbolair Aviation Estates in Ocala, Florida, where he and his family lived for several months out of the year.

Travolta's next-door neighbor, Jacob Urbowicz, gathered outside the private memorial service along with other fans and neighbors.

"John waves to me from his plane, and for somebody like him to do that is pretty special," Urbowicz, 44, says. "My 10-year-old son Alexander and Jett would smile and wave at each other [when they saw each other]."

Bobby Weiand, 13, from Auburndale, Florida, dropped off some flowers on Thursday. "I thought it was really important to be here today because I can only understand how hard it is for the family since their son was only three years older than me," he says.

Flower delivery trucks came to the site throughout the day to drop off roses, lilies and other arrangements. Posters and cards have also been left for the family at their home in Florida.

The 16-year-old died from a seizure on Friday afternoon at his family's home in the Bahamas, autopsy results revealed Monday. His body was cremated, and his ashes were flown to the U.S. later that day.

Travolta called Jett "my baby" in an interview with the Australian media several years ago.

"He's my first, and he's my heart. And he's a very special boy," Travolta said. "He's Daddy's boy. And...we spend a lot of time together even though I'm pretty busy. He loves the outdoors and he loves to travel.

"He loves being on the plane. We fly in the ultralight together," he continued. "And...he likes to climb trees and swim."

His parents released a statement Sunday thanking fans for the outpouring of prayers and support after Jett's death.

"Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives," the statement said.

Travolta's attorney and confidant, Michael McDermott, and Michael Ossi, the family's lawyer, stated in a joint interview Saturday that "John is distraught."

"This is the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to him, and he needs to go through a process of healing," the lawyers added. "John and Kelly are suffering total misery. They were so close to their son. This is hard to accept."

Travolta and Preston are also parents to daughter Ella, 8.

Find Out Who's on the New Celebrity Apprentice!

Khloe Kardashian and Tom Green are among the 16 contestants duking it out to become Donald Trump's next Celeb Apprentice, NBC has announced.

Also in the lineup?

Snarky mom and daughter team Joan and Melissa Rivers, Tionne Watkins (best known as TLC's T-Boz), former NBA star Dennis Rodman, country singer Clint Black and Sandra Bullock's husband, Jesse James.

"They are really major players," Trump boasted to Usmagazine.com during a press conference for the show.

(Also playing: singer Brian McKnight, skater Scott Hamilton, football star Herschel Walker, golfer Natalie Gulbis, Playboy playmate Brande Roderick; pro-poker player Annie Duke, Deal or No Deal girl Claudia Jordan and comic Andrew Dice Clay.)

Duke promises she won't "behave like Omarosa...I hope to make it as long as her, but I promise I won't comment on your children or relationships.

"I can't say the same!" Joan Rivers challenged, as her daughter, Melissa, piped in: "Neither can I!"

Trump says he's not even trying to guess who will win.

"From day one, I look at somebody and say: there is somebody that is going to win, and it turns out to be a disaster," he says. "I've had a couple -- I won't use names -- [whom I was] very unimpressed with when I first saw them.

"I'll give you an example: Stephen Baldwin," Trump adds. "I thought he was a total [jerk]. But you know what...he was really great. He was smart, cunning."

The 8th season of Trump's Apprentice premieres March 1 on NBC.

Bachelor Reject Regrets Drinking So Much on First Episode

A sobered up Jackie Hickey, who was ousted on Monday's premiere episode of The Bachelor, has admitted the booze blew her chances of winning the heart of single dad Jason Mesnick.

"I probably would not have so much bubbly," the 26-year-old Dallas, Texas, native told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday. "I mean, it's pretty obvious that I had quite a few cocktails that evening, which isn't like me. [It was] nervous excitement. [I was] a little scared and intimidated."

Hickey, a wedding coordinator who was married previously for a year and a half, said she came on the show expecting to find her happy ending.

"I see a lot of grooms, especially with my job," she said. "Jason looked like groom quality and it was what he was there for. He seemed appropriate."

But even though Hickey didn't receive a rose from Mesnick, she still wants to plan his wedding (Mesnick gets engaged on the ABC reality show this season).

"If I can't be the one, if I can't be No. 2, it is fun to plan," she says. "That is what I do now. I am never the bride, just the planner."
