SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Kris Humphries has officially caught up with Kim Kardashian. The basketball pro and the reality star are husband and wife.

It is the first marriage for Humphries, who last played for the NBA's New Jersey Nets, and the second for Kardashian, star of E!'s "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." She was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004.

People and E! reported Kardashian wore an ivory gown designed by Vera Wang. Her stepfather, Bruce Jenner, walked her down the aisle in front of 440 guests, including Demi Lovato, Mario Lopez, Eva Longoria, Sugar Ray Leonard, Alan Thicke and Lindsay Lohan.

Kardashian's gown had a tulle skirt, basque waist and Chantilly lace, and was matched with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, the media outlets reported. The bride planned to wear two other Wang dresses before the night and the party were over.

Her sisters and TV co-stars Kourtney Kardashian, 32, and Khloe Kardashian, 27, served as co-maids of honor.

The groom wore a white peak lapel tuxedo jacket, black tuxedo pants and, a white shirt and a white bow tie, all designed by Ermenegildo Zegna.

Kardashian and Humphries began dating late last year and announced their engagement in May. He proposed on bended knee with a 20.5-carat ring by spelling out "Will you marry me?" in rose petals.

Since the couple's engagement, the pending nuptials have provided constant fodder for the media and the Kardashians, who posted updates about the wedding on their blogs and websites.

The waves of hype that preceded the ceremony didn't seem to faze the bride. Earlier this week, Kardashian said she was "totally calm" about the much-hyped ceremony.

"I think that freak-out moment kind of already passed," she said at a party Wednesday to launch her new clothing line at Sears.

'Blade Runner': Ridley Scott Directing New Film

Now just eight years from the wrecked, futuristic Los Angeles envisioned in the original, Ridley Scott will be helming a new entry into the iconic "Blade Runner" canon.

Deadline reports that the legendary director is set to revive the classic 1982 film, which starred Harrison Ford as Richard Deckard, who worked to capture humanoid robots before falling in love with one of them.

It's unknown, at this point, whether the film will be a prequel, sequel, reboot or spinoff; Scott is currently finishing "Prometheus," the Damon Lindelof-penned film that is a sort of relative to his classic, "Alien."

Also unclear is whether Ford would return to the franchise; he is still an action star, featuring this summer in the disappointing "Cowboys & Aliens," and recently donned his iconic hat and whip for a new entry in the "Indiana Jones" saga. Another film in that series is expected at some point, as well.

Alcon Entertainment, which runs through Warner Bros., acquired the rights to the film in March, announcing its intention to create new entries, in backward and forward-looking directions, to the original.

Anne Hathaway's Paparazzi Rap On 'Conan'

Sure, Anne Hathaway stars in the upcoming tearjerker love story "One Day," but she's now moved on in to playing Catwoman in the Batman epic, "The Dark Knight Rises." And clearly, the dark edge of Christopher Nolan's doomsday Gotham has rubbed off on Anne Hathaway.

Appearing on "Conan" Tuesday night, Hathaway went hardcore and busted out a rap verse -- "In the style of Lil Wayne" -- that slammed on the paparazzi that have been chasing her down for years. Though it sounds unlikely that the normally sweet-as-sugar actress could ever get intense like that, just listening is believing.

It's also a much stronger hit than the one Anne Hathaway laid on James Franco for his comments on their Oscar co-hosting debacle.

Kim Kardashian planning a SECOND wedding celebration in New York

Kim Kardashian celebrated her 30th birthday with no fewer than seven parties.

So it is hardly a surprise that Kim Kardashian wouldn't be satisfied with just one wedding party.

It emerged today that ten days after the reality star walks down the aisle on Saturday to wed Kris Humphries, the couple will be celebrating with a bash in New York.

Fashion publication Women's Wear Daily reported today that wedding planner Colin Cowie and media CEO Jason Binn are hosting the lavish event with the newly married couple as guests of honour.
Binn announced the event on Twitter today, to which Kim replied enthusiastically, 'So fun!'

No venue has been selected yet for the event, despite the date less than a fortnight away.
Kim Kardashian and Kris are set to say 'I do' this Saturday at the $30 million mansion of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers co-founder Frank Caufield in Montecito, California - near Santa Barbara.

Kim is said to be wearing two custom creations by famous wedding gown designer Wang on her special day - at a cost of over $30,000.

Exact details of the dresses have not been released but Kim and Kris have asked that their guests wear black and white, snubbing tradition, while the bridesmaids are rumoured to be wearing different shades of green.

Kim is understood to be planning a classic, timeless style for her hair and make-up, according to Us Weekly.

Final preparations are being made for the wedding, with Kris picking up his suit yesterday from a Beverly Hills tailors.

Yesterday Kim and her sisters were pictured at the Vera Wang store for their final dress fittings.

After sorting out the business of the day, he join Kim and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney and the rest of the Kardashian/ Jenner clan for the launch of the Kardashian Kollection clothing line.

The glitzy red carpet event was held at The Colony, Hollywood, where guests were treated to cocktails named after the girls, cupcakes and sushi canapés.

Kim arrived on the red carpet at around 8.30pm in an animal print jumpsuit.

Kim Kardashian smooched with Kris, sharing a kiss amid a flashbulb frenzy, posed for various photographs and spoke to the Press.

She then headed straight to the cordoned off VIP section of the club, where she mingled with her family and friends, including singer Monica and Khloe's personal assistant, Malika Haqq.
But clearly with lots still to do, Kim only stayed for two hours and left shortly before 10.30pm with Kris in tow.

Her mother Kris Jenner left shortly after doing the red carpet, bringing her young daughters Kendall, 15, and Kylie, 13, with her as they were not allowed inside the venue due to their age.

Kourtney and Khloe left at around 11pm, with their partners Scott Disick and Lamar Odom.

Khloe was spotted feasting on a huge bag of Cheetos as she was driven away from the club with husband Lamar, while Scott seemed eager to make tracks in his convertible, looking impatient as partner Kourtney had photographs taken with fans outside.

The 500-strong guest list for Saturday's wedding is said to include a host of other celebs including Jennifer Lopez, Ciara, Demi Lovato, Babyface and several NBA stars.

Kim Kardashian sisters Kourtney and Khloe are acting as co-maids of honour.

It has also emerged that Kim and Kris will have to wait until summer 2012 to take their honeymoon due to Kim's hectic work schedule. (S)

Dont leave your laptop plugged in

Laptop battery wearing down? In this week's episode of Upgrade Your Life, Yahoo! News' Becky Worley shows us how to help batteries last longer ... and what to do when they run out!

First, the basics
Most laptops use batteries that can last for 3-5 years, or about 1000 charges. (A premium laptop's battery might last longer.) Every time you charge your battery, the total capacity of the battery is diminished. Originally it may have had a run time of 3.5 hours, but after a year it'll run out of juice at 3 hours, even on a full charge.

If your battery capacity has diminished, there are a few things you can do about it. First, you have to correctly gauge how much capacity has been lost. There are free downloads to do this job, like Battery Bar (for Windows PCs) or Coconut Battery (for Macs). These will compare your battery's current maximum capacity to how long it lasted when it was new.



(UPDATE- we originally recommended Battery Eater and while the program works great, their download site has been compromised and we are recommending an alternate program, Battery Bar downloadable from CNET.)

Calibrating your Battery
You can't miraculously reconstitute your battery's capacity. It loses power over time due to chemical reactions taking place in the battery, as it chugs along powering your laptop. You can't undo those changes, but there is one common battery issue you can fix: In many laptops, the operating system's battery meter gets out of sync with how much juice the battery actually has.

Imagine if the gas gauge on your car dashboard was misreading how much gas you actually had in the tank. You'd either run out of gas when you thought you had a quarter of a tank left, or you'd be filling up too frequently. In your laptop, this can mean your laptop shuts down abruptly when the meter says you have 30 minutes left. Or else the meter might warn that you only have 2 minutes of battery life left and shut your laptop down, when it really has another 20 minutes remaining.

Recalibrating gets the battery meter to correctly read the current state of the battery, so you and the operating system know where you stand with existing battery life.

How to recalibrate
First, charge your laptop's battery to full, and leave it that way for at least two hours. Then unplug your laptop, and set its power management settings to never turn off or lower the monitor brightness. (HP has instructions for how do to this on Windows 7 and Vista, as well as Windows XP, while Apple has instructions for Mac laptops on their site.)

You want to drain the battery completely, then let your laptop sit for at least five hours this way -- like, say, overnight. (Just be careful and mute the volume, since some laptops make a warning sound when they're about to run out.) Afterwards, charge it up again, and you should notice a more accurate portrayal of your battery capacity. In some cases, you may even get more life out of it.

Best practices to maintain battery life
You'd think that the best way to keep your laptop's battery from wearing out is to not use it. Right?
As it turns out, batteries are like muscles; they need to be worked out regularly to stay healthy. Ideally, you'd use your laptop unplugged at least once a day, like on a train or bus commute or on the couch in front of the TV. If you're not going to use it, constantly charging your battery is a bad idea; HP recommends on their website that if you're going to leave your laptop plugged in or put up in storage for more than two weeks, you should take the battery out of your laptop.

Past the expiration date
So when is it time to throw out that old battery? The answer, surprisingly, is "never." Laptop batteries contain lots of toxic chemicals, and should never end up in landfills. Fortunately, e-stewards.org has a list of environmentally responsible recyclers that will take your old battery with no fuss.

When is it time to replace your battery, then? Use the free utility apps Becky mentioned, and when they say that your battery can only hold around 25% of its original capacity it's probably time for a new one. You can buy a replacement battery from the original laptop manufacturer, and there are plenty of places online that sell discounted PC laptop batteries, like Laptops for Less and Batteries.com. Owners of newer Mac laptops can get their laptop's non-removable battery swapped out at any Apple store, with a scheduled appointment.

10 Celebrity Teen Girls: Mature Beyond Their Years

Forget overspending at the mall, exceeding cell phone minutes, and staying out past curfew—today's famous teens are living large and dressing the part.

Lourdes “Lola” Leon, 14

When news broke this week that Lourdes Leon had created a new makeup collection, the biggest surprise wasn't that Madonna's daughter was becoming a mini-mogul, but that she was only...14. Seriously, does she look 14?

Ali Lohan, 17

This week, Next Model Management announced they've signed Ali Lohan (now known as, ahem, "Aliana T. Lohan") for a multi-year contract and, though Lindsay Lohan’s kid sister certainly has a pretty face, is it just us, but does she look a wee bit older than her under voting-age years?

Miley Cyrus, 18

Billy Ray’s little girl has been popular for so long it’s hard to believe she’s still a teen—especially in this revealing dress. In her early teens, she came under fire for skimpy outfits, provocative stage moves, a “topless” photo in Vanity Fair, and sexy leaked cell phone pictures. But whether you like her racy image or not, Miley remains an actress and singer with major appeal and selling power: She made $54 million in the last year.

Dakota Fanning, 17

With a resume that boasts more successful films than many actors twice her age, Fanning is already a mega-star with an adult's earning power. Still, call us old-fashioned, but…we wonder: does a girl her age need to be wearing a leather dress?

Selena Gomez, 19

Is Gomez outgrowing her wholesome image? The Disney darling got her start on “Barney & Friends,” and had a recurring role on “Hannah Montana.” Her career took off with her starring role on “Wizards of Waverly Place,” and the media dubbed her the next Miley Cyrus. But recent paparazzi shots of her straddling and kissing boyfriend Justin Bieber, and, well, the ensemble above, make us wonder if she's—in the words of Vince Vaughn in "Swingers"—all growns up

Taylor Momsen, 18

Momsen started her acting career as innocent little Cindy Lou in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” At 14, she signed to IMG Models and landed a gig as the willful Jenny Humphrey on “Gossip Girl,” a role she was phased out of, allegedly due to bad behavior on the set. These days, the precocious star spends her time touring the world with her band, Pretty Reckless, and doing her best very-grown-up Courtney Love impression (see above).

Frances Bean Cobain, 18

Speaking of Courtney Love, remember her daughter with Kurt Cobain? Recent magazine pics show her in full rock-star mode with jet-black hair, an array of tattoos and tattered lingerie. Hard for us to believe Frances is a full-fledged woman—we remember when she was just a babe in Kurt's arms.

Demi Lovato, 18

Lovato recently confessed she struggled with bullying, eating disorders, cutting, and suicidal thoughts for much of her life. That’s a lot to deal with in 18 years — and it's no wonder the teen looks older than she really is.

Miranda Cosgrove, 18

This singer/actress was discovered at just three years old, landing national commercials and a role in “School of Rock.” And, as the star of “iCarly” Cosgrove is probably responsible for your child’s internet obsession. After a year on air, “iCarly” became the most-viewed cable entertainment show, and in 2010, Cosgrove became the second highest paid child star—earning $180,000 an episode.. So basically, regardless of the short red dress, heavy makeup and sky-high heels, this girl looks like an adult because she’s already a powerhouse.

Kristen Stewart Spotted Drinking In London

Kristen Stewart is a dedicated actress, but it’s nice when she gets to kick back and have fun. And it seems like she had a ball when she hit up London’s Soho House on August 12 and had a few drinks with friends — not having to worry about filming Snow White And the Huntsman for a night!

Kristen Stewart, 21, hit up the swanky bar and drank with two other actors, who both tweeted about the encounter.

Leo Staar wrote, “Lovely drink last night with @Lee__Knight and Kristen Stewart at Soho house. Great time.”

In turn, Lee Knight wrote, “funny you mention Kristen Stewart @theverysimong , I saw her at Soho House tonight.”

It’s great K-Stew let her hair down a little, especially considering the tension in London because of the riots. But we’re sure Robert Pattinson wishes he was there with her! (S)
