Kim Kardashian On Her Wedding: It Was Like Heaven

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Kim Kardashian has opened up about her dream wedding to New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries. The beautiful bride graces the cover of People magazines September 5 issue adorned with a $2.5 million diamond headpiece, but conspicuously missing her groom and dishes on her lavish ceremony inside the pages of the mag. It was like we were in heaven, Kim, 30, told People of the August 20 wedding, while Kris added he will always remember how perfect it was. Despite the over-the-top ceremony attended by over 400 guests and filmed for a TV special Kim said glamor was not the couples main goal. It was really about our family and each other, she said. Jen Garcia, People magazines assistant editor, stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday to reveal behind-the-scenes details of their upcoming issue, which boasts exclusive wedding photos. We sorted through thousands of pictures, Jen told Kit Hoover and guest co-host Arsenio Hall of how the mag chose the cover photo. Looking for ones that didnt have Kris? Arsenio joked, questioning the magazines choice to feature a solo shot of Kim. Thats not true! Jen said. You see Kris in a bush! Arsenio laughed, pointing to a small inset photo that appears on the cover. Its all about the bride. We wanted her, Jen said, defending the magazine (which paid $1.5 million for rights to the event photographs). Its her day, we wanted her on the cover. [Kris] has got a little height on her, she added. Its kind of tough to get them in the [same] shot. Jen told Kit and Arsenio that fans will see plenty pictures of Kris inside the magazines pages, and added that the newlyweds want kids. I think were gonna see little KKs running around soon Id say probably within a year, she said. They want a big family for sure. For Kim and Kris wedding details and photos from the big day, pick up a copy of Peoples September 5 issue available on newsstands Friday. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc.

Katherine Schwarzenegger tells Harpers Bazaar magazine she wanted to go away and realize that its not as big a deal in other places. Shriver and the former Republican governor are in the midst of a divorce, after Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed in May he fathered an out-of-wedlock child with a former housekeeper. Their 21-year-old daughter never mentions her now-teenaged half-brother in the interview, while discussing what she calls definitely a difficult time. She says she tries not to care about what other people think, but adds shes been consoled by Twitter messages from supporters. She tells the magazine, Ive always been way closer to my mom.

5 Great Films With Street Names in Their Titles

5 Great Films With Street Names in Their Titles By Christy Lemire August 5, 2011 Photo by Universal Pictures "Mulholland Drive" LOS ANGELES (AP) The ultra-low-budget "Bellflower," which opens in limited release this weekend, is named for the Southern California street where director-writer-star Evan Glodell was living when he went through the dramatic relationship that inspired the film. It's also the name of the generic street where much of the film's action takes place the romance and, eventually, the break-up and brutal climax.Providing a sense of place is a crucial part of luring us into a film, and that can start right from the very beginning. So here's a journey through five great movies with street names in their titles. Try not to get lost: "Sunset Boulevard" (1950): Billy Wilder's sharp, biting satire remains one of the most insightful films ever made about Hollywood. All these decades later, the names have changed and the technology has improved but the egos and illusions remain. LA's Sunset Boulevard is where aging silent film star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) lives in her garish mansion, dreaming of a comeback, and it's where writer Joe Gillis (William Holden) narrates from the great beyond while lying face-down in her swimming pool at the start. Holden is the film's steady, quick-witted anchor, while Swanson teeters brilliantly on the brink of madness until the very end. She IS big. It's the pictures that got small. "Mulholland Dr." (2001): David Lynch's dreamlike Hollywood noir gave us a major star in Naomi Watts. She's mesmerizing here in multiple roles as both a bright-eyed aspiring actress and a starlet who's seen better days. She and Laura Elena Harring form a giddy, girly friendship that morphs into something darker and more intense. The name comes from the long, winding road that snakes along the top of the mountains that separate Los Angeles from the San Fernando Valley; it's where the car crash takes place that sends Harring's character into amnesia and into Watts' life. I will admit I did not get "Mulholland Dr." when I first saw it, but after multiple viewings, I now find myself drawn to its complicated structure and haunting mood. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984): Despite various sequels, remakes and reboots, we're going with Wes Craven's original here, for sake of argument and because it's the best. Craven's core concept that if you die in your dreams, you die in real life was truly disturbing back then, and it provided an exploration of the frightening power of the subconscious. With his jaunty fedora and torn sweater, his hideous, scorched skin and an arsenal of one-liners, child-killer Freddy Krueger (the venerable Robert Englund) could be anywhere at any time. There was no way to stop him. At some point, you have to fall asleep. And the idea that such brutal killings could take place on Elm Street, which sounds like such a safe and familiar place in Anytown, U.S.A., made the horrors hit even closer to home. "Miracle on 34th Street" (1947): He's not crazy, he's just Santa. Edmund Gwenn earned an Academy Award for best supporting actor for his portrayal of Kris Kringle in this holiday favorite. Gwenn plays a kindly old man who takes over as Santa Claus at the flagship Macy's department store on 34th Street in New York City (hence the title). But he infuses the place with such jolly, ruddy-faced goodness, people begin to wonder whether he's the real deal. When he's deemed delusional and committed to Bellevue, he pleads his case at a legal hearing, becomes a sensation and makes everyone believe in the power of Christmas, including a young Natalie Wood. How are you gonna hate on that? "Cloverfield" (2008): The title of this low-budget sci-fi thriller helped build its buzz. What is Cloverfield? What could it possibly mean? And what does it have to do with a monster that terrorizes New York? Well, nothing. And that's part of its charm. Cloverfield is the name of a street near producer J.J. Abrams' Santa Monica office. It's a code word the filmmakers used to keep the project under wraps but it stuck, adding to the mystery. Director Matt Reeves' film is a thrill ride tailor-made for the YouTube generation, with the attack being documented entirely through the perspective of a partygoer's hand-held video camera. You know that would be your first instinct, too - and that not only gives the film a feeling of authenticity, but makes it more interactive.Copyright 2011 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

In Landmark Deal, USA Network Lands Box Office Hit Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids Bridesmaids, the surprise feature hit starring Kristen Wiig, is heading to USA Network as part of the channel's new, landmark 30-movie deal with Universal Pictures. The movie deal, one of the largest in basic cable history, also includes the action sequel Fast Five, starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson; the comedy Little Fockers, with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro; and The Adjustment Bureau, featuring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. Most of those movies, including Bridesmaids, will debut on USA in 2013. The price tag for those four features alone will cost USA Network more than $70 million, as most theatrical movie deals cost around 12% of domestic box office gross. That means, counting up all 30 movies in the Universal package, it'll come close to (but won't surpass) what USA paid in 2009 for a 24-film slate from the studio. USA's deal with Universal - the two divisions are sister companies within NBCUniversal - comes as FX has aggressively pursued many of this summer's biggest box office hits. FX has acquired the rights to movies including Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Green Lantern and The Hangover Part II, among others. USA, on the other hand, has been focusing on acquiring major, big-ticket network series, including repeats of shows like NCIS: Los Angeles and Modern Family. But Bridesmaids is a big title, and one of the surprise hits of the movie year. The comedy, from producer Judd Apatow, also stars Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy. Bridesmaids surpassed all expectations at the box office, having so far grossed a strong $165 million. Under the terms of the deal, the 30-film Universal package can run across several NBCUniversal channels, including NBC, Syfy, E!, Bravo, Oxygen, Style, G4, Chiller, Sleuth (Cloo) and UniHD, in addition to USA. "This groundbreaking acquisition package represents our ongoing dynamic partnership with Universal to deliver blockbuster movies and A-list talent to our audience," says Jane Blaney, executive vice president of programming, acquisitions and scheduling at USA Network. (The deal was done through NBC Universal Domestic TV Distribution.) "These films provide a strategic platform for our originals, while complementing our brand of character-based entertainment."
