Guys everywhere are probably mourning the loss of this one from the singles market.  Katherine McPhee of American Idol fame has gone and got hitched!  Yesterday, Katherine, who is 23 and 42-year-old Nick Cokas tied the knot in Beverly Hills.

The two obviously live by the “age is just a number” philosophy!  They were married at the Presbyterian Church, with over 300 guests in attendance - including Kelly Pickler and Mandisa.  Click below for photos and more on Nick!

So who is Nick Cokas?  Nick Cokas is a producer, originally from San Francisco, but now residing in L.A.  Nick is a graduate of UCLA and has a stage career.  His Broadway credits include Blood Brothers, Guys and Dolls, Mama Mia and Once Upon a Mattress.

Shell Kepler, best known for her role as nurse Amy Vining on General Hospital, has died at age 46 due to renal failure.  Shell acted in the daytime drama for more than 20 years, then moved to Portland, Oregon and worked in charity fund-raising.  The medial examiner has determined her cause of death to be renal failure.  Click below for more photos of Shell!

Britney Spears posed for Blender magazine’s March 2008 issue and apparently, the magazine found it necessary to post a disclaimer on the cover that the image is “a composite photo.” With the exception of the vacant eyes, it really looks nothing like Britney, so why not admit the obvious?

In other Britney news, her father, Jamie Spears has been named temporary conservator, meaning that he is now in control of her welfare - until February 4th, when a follow-up hearing is set. As conservator, Jamie also has the power to restrict visitors, have around-the-clock security for Britney and have access to all medial records. He also has the right to “take all actions and secure all liquid assets including credit cards.” They gave him utter and total control over Britney, basically. At least for a few days…hopefully, the court will extend that order for a decade at the next hearing.

Interestingly enough, the courts also issued a restraining order against Sam Lutfi and gave Jamie the clearance to change the locks on Britney’s estate and remove anyone from the property.   Certainly indicates that the Spears’ family deems Lutfin  a considerable contribution to Britney’s demise.
