As a trainer on The Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels was known for dishing out tough love to contestants. But these days, she’s doling out tickles and hugs to her 2-year-old daughter, Lukensia – whom she recently brought home from Haiti after a lengthy adoption process — and the newborn son, Phoenix, that partner Heidi Rhoades gave birth to on May 3 in Los Angeles.
When Food Network chef Robert Irvine married pro wrestler Gail Kim on May 10, he had planned a night of surprises for his bride-to-be. "He wanted to give me the fairy tale wedding," Kim, 35, said, adding that she knew nothing more than the location, time and date. "I didn't know the colors of my wedding or what my bouquet would look like! But I trusted his taste." A horse-drawn carriage picked up Kim for a brief tour around the vineyard of California's Charles Krug Winery before her debut in front of 160 friends and family members. "I cried when she walked down the aisle," says Irvine, 46. "She was jaw-dropping – this glow of beauty, wearing a dress with a long train. She looked so beautiful." And the surprises didn't end there: Chef Masaharu Morimoto serenaded the couple with a Japanese love song, and Kim enlisted the help of best man (and fellow Food Network star) Guy Fieri to cater a rehearsal dinner.

McKean, 64, was being treated at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital for a broken leg and facial lacerations. "Hopefully, he'll be fine," his manager, Harriet Sternberg said. "He has sustained multiple injures," she said, "and we are trying to find out the extent of other injuries."Reports say the car went out of control before jumping the curb at 86th Street and Broadway as McKean was walking. Its impact reportedly knocked him from the pavement into the street, and he was seen coughing up blood. Police said no criminal charges were being filed. The actor lives on the Upper West Side with his wife, actress Annette O'Toole (Smallville), and is currently appearing in an all-star Broadway revival of Gore Vidal's The Best Man, with James Earl Jones and Angela Lansbury. "He's upset about missing his curtain," Sternberg said. "He's never missed a performance in his career." More Cannes Fashion... more news below
