Royal Wedding Trivia: How much does a royal wedding cost to insure?
Royal Wedding Trivia!
How much does a royal wedding cost to insure in the UK?
[Apr. 28]
Prince William and Kate Middleton getting married is one of the biggest media stories since the tragic marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. Scores of journalist from around the globe are lining the streets of London at this hour looking for a unique story angle to tell. As far as royal wedding trivia goes, most of the bio stories are about Kate Middleton and her family. As far as weddings go, they are not the cheapest occasion and can cost a fortune for even the thriftiest of couples. While in the United States it is a custom for the family of the bride to foot the bill for the wedding, in the UK — at least for Prince William — it will be his family paying the larger share of the wedding bill.
Why?
Because the royal wedding will have a viewing gallery of millions as cameras from all corners of the globe converge on Westminster Abbey, London, on April 29th, 2011 — and security alone will be an enormous bill to pay. However, when it comes to planning events of such a great magnitude as a wedding — royal or otherwise — sometimes it pays to spend a few extra dollars to protect the day.
The Royal Family are not known for their austerity measures, so their need for insurance could save them from a disaster in front of the world’s prying eyes. That is where an insurance agent quote can come in handy — and why we here at GCN have welcomed a special guest post from Autonet Insurance to help us quote some fast fact and historical trivia about the cost to insure a royal wedding in the UK.
DWTS Karina Smirnoff fell, claims Ralph Macchio jinxed by Tom Bergeron?

DWTS Karina Smirnoff fell, claims Ralph Macchio jinxed by Tom Bergeron?
[Apr. 26]
Karina Smirnoff and Karate Kid actor Ralph Macchio had an upset last night on Dancing with the Stars. Karina apparently tripped over Ralph’s coat during their Paso Doble routine to the tune of C & C Music Factory’s Everybody Dance Now (remember that one from the 80s?). They still earned a respectable score from the judges — 24 out of 30, but it still was low enough to put them in second to last place.
This of course is following Kirstie Alley’s wardrobe malfunction, when her shoe fell off, and another fall when Maksim Chmerkovskiy took partner Kirstie Alley down with him when his hip gave out. And we thought this was Spring, not Fall.
Karina Smirnoff helped sum it up for People:
While they earned a respectable 24 out of 30 points, tripping over Macchio’s coat “was disappointing, because it was such an awesome routine and Ralph was doing such an awesome job,” a dejected Smirnoff said backstage. “I think the floor is jinxed.”
And Kirstie Alley tells People:
“I think Tom Bergeron is the one making everyone fall,” Alley jokes, noting that the spot where so many have gone down is precisely where Dancing’s beloved host stands for most of the show. “If you look closely I think you will probably see the shenanigans he’s up to when we’re not on the dance floor. Always go for the nice guy. Always.”
Whatever the case, Karina Smirnoff and Ralph Macchio have been holding on tight, staying well up in the top contenders on Dancing with the Stars this season, so it will be interesting to see if this fall will put them out of the running, or if they’ll be able to hold on for another episode.
Karina Smirnoff is looking for your love and your votes. She went to Twitter: “Thank u all so much for ur kind words and support! It means a world to us! And thank u for believing in us! Love u.”
Celebrity Divorce: Olivia Wilde house no longer her celebrity home?
Celebrity Divorce!
Soon to be single actress and swimsuit model Olivia Wilde moves out of marital home in Venice, California?
[Apr. 26]
Television stars and movie stars often keep celebrity homes in California where they can live and work. But what happens when celebrity couples who live together out west in Tinseltown divorce? Eventually, they move out of course.
House actress Olivia Wilde has allegedly been playing house with her husband even though she filed for divorce back on March 11 of 2011. The Tron movie starlet and gorgeous model (who is as much brains as hot bod health and fitness icon) needed a place to stay and Venice, California was the place she called home with husband Tai Ruspoli — until now.
The website RumorFix claims, “the brunette beauty, who is divorcing husband Tao Ruspoli for irreconcilable differences, has moved out of their Venice, California home.”
Olivia Wilde, the actress who plays the bisexual character Thirteen on House was married for eight years and the couple did not seem to have any big drama in the press to show theirs was anything other than a happy home. The celebrity gossip website that verifies truth and rumor reports in entertainment journals reports the “hot in Hollywood” actress has moved completely across town and now is living in the trendy, up and coming Silverlake area.
We bet the swimsuit model is increasing the property values there for sure. Wonder if her new place has a pool?
The more important question is, however, why she and Tao elected to file for divorce.
To date, neither side has voiced any real explanation of how or why love went wrong for the pair — but inside sources speculate that as Olivia Wilde became more wild in her photo shoots and also made her on screen debut in Tron, the 3D picture sequel with actor Jeff Bridges, that it became clear the actress had outgrown her marriage — and he, underwhelming compared to her despite his own fame — may have grown increasingly jealous.
Such is the way of too many Hollywood marriages.
We wish the celebrity couple well as they learn to live life as single people — a task that is always challenging at best, if not downright difficult.
