"Most people started arriving at 1.30 and hardly no one wore black. Lots of people were wearing Hawaiian shirts. It looked more like a party, says a source.
KELLY BROOK
The gorgeous star has ended her four-year relationship with 'Titanic' star Billy Zane after deciding she was too young to settle down.
“After much soul-searching, Kelly decided that Billy is not the man she wants to marry and has called off the engagement, says a source.

Motorbike mad Zane has now moved out of the couple's English farmhouse and back to Los Angeles.
JANET JACKSON
Jackson - who is in a long-term relationship with producer Jermaine Dupri - thinks Alicia Keys is “wonderful” and admires both her beauty and talent.
When asked in a recent interview who she would consider having a lesbian fling with, Jackson said: "I think I would pick Alicia Keys. I think she's wonderful." Janet believes people often question the sexual orientation of Alicia and US TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey because they are such “strong” characters.
“They are strong women. Maybe they want to put something else behind it because of the strength. Like, you can't be a woman and be strong, and there has to be something else to it, says Jackson who has a penchant for motorcycle leather.
ASHLEE SIMPSON
The Singer/actress is putting her foot down and refusing to ride on the motorbike she bought her boyfriend, Pete Wentz, until he can drive it properly.
The Hollywood lovely bought the Fall Out Boy star to a Triumph Bonneville motorbike for Christmas but is reluctant to travel as a passenger.
"When we went to get it, I bought my helmet and I was like, 'You should probably buy a helmet, so we can ride together, says Wentz: “"She was like, 'I'm not going to buy a helmet, I'm not going to ride with you until you actually know what you are doing.'"
"I was riding yesterday. I didn't realize how hard a motorcycle was to ride. I'd only seen it on TV, and in movies, and I was like, 'I want to ride one!' but they're [bleep] hard to ride."
AMY WINEHOUSE
The singing sensation is in trouble again after she allegedly head-butted a guy who had hailed her a cab outside a London bar, hours after punching her alleged other victim in the face.
According to sources, Winehouse and a group of friends turned up at a pub in Camden flanked by motorbike riding paparazzi. Once inside she allegedly hit Moroccan musician Mustapha el Mounmi when he refused to vacate the pool table
Meanwhile, Winehouse’s imprisoned husband has reportedly demanded a £3 million divorce settlement.
Blake Fielder-Civil says he is entitled to £250,000 for every month he has been married to the troubled singer.
After Amy allegedly demanded a divorce, Blake is said to have told friends: “She wouldn’t even be alive if it wasn’t for me.”
“At first Blake refused to believe Amy had dumped him, but his initial devastation has been replaced by rage, says a source:” He says she owes everything to him - he inspired her music and says he saved her life.
“Because of Amy his life will never be the same again and he wants her to compensate him. He has demanded £3 million from her.”
JULIA ROBERTS
The ‘Pretty Woman’ star has revealed that she doesn’t use deodorant, relying on good old-fashioned soap and water to keep her armpits fresh.
“I don’t actually use deodorant, says Roberts: “ I don’t like to share that with a lot of people, but it’s just never been my thing.”
Motorbike mad Roberts, 40 caused an armpit frenzy in 1999 after turning up to the UK premiere of romantic comedy ‘Notting Hill’ with hairy underarms.
JERRY HALL
The leggy lovely has revealed that her drug addicted, alcoholic father John Hall hit her and her four sisters so hard he broke their bones.
“He would talk to us like soldiers, says the Texan beauty: “ He was very imaginative in his insults, and that is hard to get over. He was very violent. He took uppers (drugs) and would come home and beat us five girls. He broke bones.”
A US army sergeant-turned-truck driver, Hall’s father was so keen to have a boy that he gave his daughters all male names. Hall says her dad was driven to drink and drugs because of his own upbringing and war experiences.
A self-confessed Harley Davidson fan, Mick Jagger’s ex wife turned heads when she took the super bike out for a spin.
“Jerry Hall was sensational; she had the longest legs I have ever seen, says Patrick Harley who runs Harley Davidson tours in the US:
“We took her on a private tour of the Red Centre for two days. All the boys wanted to work on those days…for free. She loved getting away from the crowds and certainly looked at home sat on the back of the bike.”
