EVEN IF you're not a big fan of weddings, the nuptials of Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo sounds like it was a pretty good time.
The destination affair was at Flora Farms, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
A number of the bridesmaids were Victoria's Secret models.
Stevie Nicks performed at the reception.
The ceremony was officiated by Levine's longtime friend, Jonah Hill.
"Jonah was hysterical," an unnamed source told E! News. "He was telling so many jokes, but then in the middle would be so sweet and sincere.
"He also talked about how sweet Behati is and how perfect they are for one another," the source said.
Additionally, Behati's dad, a minister, also gave a blessing during the "loose, romantic and fun" ceremony.
How loose? Although the bridesmaids wore white dresses, the groomsmen wore black Hawaiian print shirts and black trousers.
E! News reports that Behati wore a Marchesa lace gown with spaghetti straps and silk tulle from knee to floor.
During the reception, Levine also sang with Nicks, and Behati serenaded her new husband with "Bright Eyes."
"It was kind of a bet between them," a source told E!. "He introduced her and she sang it. She had a beautiful voice."
The food was organic, the drinks were mojitos of all flavors and the couple will honeymoon in South Africa before Adam returns for "The Voice."
Get on the good foot
A judge has ordered South Carolina's attorney general to turn over documents to freelance journalist Sue Summer, who's investigating the court fight over the estate of James Brown.
Summer wants to see the records, which include the diary of the woman who said she was Brown's wife when he died in 2006, an appraisal of Brown's assets and documents about how much trustees and attorneys are being paid from Brown's estate. She requested them under the state's Freedom of Information Act.
Attorney General Alan Wilson had claimed he shouldn't be forced to release the records because they are part of different lawsuits over Brown's estate.
In his ruling, Judge Eugene Griffith Jr. said that Wilson's position is "inconsistent with both the letter and spirit" of the state's open-records act, which allows public records to be kept secret only in very specific circumstances.
Summer said that she was pleased with the order. She said that part of the reason she keeps pursuing the story is that she wants to make sure Brown's dying wish - to pay for scholarships for poor children in Aiken County and Augusta, Georgia - is done.
"It is past time for the secrecy that has surrounded the James Brown estate proceedings to come to an end," Summer said. "It is past time for the public to receive an answer to the question - after seven years, will Mr. Brown's last wishes be honored in the state of South Carolina? The needy children Mr. Brown wanted to help with his education charity are waiting for an answer."
If it's a battle between estate lawyers, greedy relatives and needy children, we're not betting on the needy children.
