Actor Robert Redford has married his long-term partner German artist Sibylle Szaggars, 51, in a ceremony in Hamburg on the weekend. The groom reportedly wore a white suit while the bride donned a champagne-colored dress.

A German church says its pastor presided over the wedding between Redford and the abstract artist he has been dating since 1996. Renate Massfeller, of the St. Catherine Church in Hamburg, said that Pastor Frank Engelbrecht presided over the ceremony on Saturday between the 71-year-old  American actor and artist Sibylle Szaggars, 51, at the luxury Louis C. Jacob Hotel. The Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper said 30 friends and family members attended the service.

Szaggars is an abstract artist whose work has been exhibited in Britain, Germany, the United States and elsewhere. She and Redford became engaged last March, and he announced he would marry for the second time. At the time, the Oscar-winning actor told German magazine Bunte: ‘We are engaged and very happy with that. She (Sibylle) is my fiancée and that says everything, doesn’t it?’ The couple live have lived together at his 5,500-acre eco-friendly ranch in Utah, on the mountain resort he owns -  where Redford’s famous Sundance Institute is based – since the 1990s. The couple has a son Jamie, 46, and two daughters, Shauna, 48, and Amy, 38. They also lost another son, Scott, to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

This is the second marriage for the actor-director. He was previously hitched to Lola Redford, with whom he had four children from 1958 to 1985 (though only three survive after one died of sudden infant death syndrome).

Redford was one of the biggest actors of the 1960s and 1970s perhaps best known for his role in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, in which he co-starred with Paul Newman.

The couple is planning a second wedding ceremony in September in Mexico.

Nearly 40 years after she was falsely accused of drug smuggling, Jane Fonda is still be holding a grudge against the Ohio policeman who arrested her several decades ago. The 71-year-old actress was dining out with a friend at Mr. Chow in Hollywood wearing a T-shirt bearing her infamous police mugshot.

The actress had just finished working on Klute when she was arrested at an airport in Cleveland on November 3, 1970. The customs officers wrongly accused Fonda of drug smuggling after finding vitamins labelled b, l and d (breakfast, lunch and dinner) in her bag. At the time, the actress was on her way back from speaking at an anti-Vietnam war fundraiser in Canada.

Writing about her false arrest on her blog earlier this year, she said: ‘They confiscated (my vitamins) as well as my address book (which was photocopied) and arrested me for drug smuggling. I told them what they were but they said they were getting orders from the White House – that would be the Nixon White House. I think they hoped this “scandal” would cause the college speeches to be cancelled and ruin my respectability. I was handcuffed and put in the Cleveland Jail, which is when the mugshot was taken. I was released on bond and months later, after every pill had been tested in a lab (with taxpayers money!) the charges were dismissed and there were a few paragraphs hidden in the back of papers that they were vitamins, not drugs.’

Earlier this year, Fonda gave her permission for her teen pregnancy charity the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention to raise money using her mugshot on T-shirts, mugs and tea towels.

Renee Zellweger is set to reprise her role as singleton Bridget Jones for a third installment of the popular franchise movie. This time, the story will likely focus on 40-ish Bridget’s desire to have a baby before time runs out, as based on author Helen Fielding’s weekly newspaper columns for Britain’s the Independent, says the showbiz trade publication.

The film is believed to take inspiration from the series of newspaper columns Helen Fielding wrote in 2005, which saw 40-something Bridget becoming concerned about having a child. Work Title Films is developing the project with production slated to start late 2010, according to industry publication Variety.

For her first two films as Helen Fielding’s diary-writing assistant, Renee piled on the pounds to her tiny frame and then rapidly shed the pounds afterwards. She admitted in 2007 that she had reservations about putting her body through it all again. ‘I had a panic attack with all the specialists talking about how bad this is for you long-term, putting on that much weight in short periods of time,’ she said. ‘[It was] absolutely horrible [losing the weight]. The first lap around the track, I felt like I had a small toddler attached to my back.’

Bridget Jones’s Diary, which co-starred Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver and Colin Firth as Mark Darcy was a box office smash hit when it was released in 2001 as well as the 2004 follow-up, which also co-starred Grant and Firth.
