Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were married at her parents’ Los Angeles-area home with an “Alice in Wonderland” theme. Simpson and Wentz exchanged vows at the property in Encino. Joe Simpson, her father, performed the non-denominational ceremony and sister Jessica Simpson was the maid of honor. The bride wore a wedding dress by Monique Lhuillier and a diamond necklace and earrings by Neil Lane. The reception featured a wedding cake piled high with a top hat, tea pot, stop watch and a pot of flowers on top. Sources claim that the couple is expecting a child together, which both Simpson and Wentz have denied. Rumors began to fly early in the week that the wedding was set for the weekend. A flurry of arrangements on Saturday afternoon just outside the guarded gates of the Simpson’s property indicated that Simpson’s wedding to Wentz was imminent. White shuttle vans with dark tinted windows were streaming through the gates, as were several delivery vehicles. The paparazzi had been gathering before 3 p.m., lingering outside the property. Aerial photos posted online on several celebrity Web sites appeared to show several large white party tents. Simpson and Wentz began dating in the fall of 2006 and announced their engagement April 9 of this year. See more Jessica Simpson Ashlee Simpson Peter Wentz

The Pussycat Dolls have been fined for being too sexy. The girl group, famed for their raunchy routines, must pay $3,400 for flashing body parts during a concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last July. During the routine, Carmit Bachar, who has since left the group, exposed a breast while Ashley Roberts was accused of revealing her private parts as she danced. Promoters Absolute Entertainment were fined for allowing their act to perform “sexually suggestive” routines. The penalty was imposed by the council which manages the Kuala Lumpur suburb where the event took place. The fine followed a complaint from Malaysia’s culture minister Rais Yatim, who said the group’s concert featured “scantily dressed performers” and “sensuous elements.” “I believe the way The Pussycat Dolls behaved on stage amounted to gross indecency,” Yatime said. Under the country’s religious laws, a female performer must be covered from her shoulders to her knees. Jumping, shouting or throwing of objects onstage or at the audience are all also banned. Gwen Stefani and Beyonce Knowles were also forced to dramatically alter their dance routines and cover up during their concerts in the country.
