Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis married his partner Johnny Chaillot during a ceremony Saturday in Malibu.

"Last night was magical! I am so blessed!" the 53-year-old gold medal-winner and recent "Dive Master" coach for the ABC celebrity diving show Splash announced on Twitter. "Johnny Chaillot walked down the aisle by his sisters, and me by my coach," he revealed.

Louganis met his 52-year-old husband last year and the two dated for about a year before getting engaged last April.

The grooms stood before about 160 guests in matching white suits alongside a wedding party that included Chaillot's four sisters and Louganis' Olympic coach, Ron O'Brien, People magazine reported. Celebrity guests included actors Barbara Eden and French Stewart, as well as comedian Bruce Vilanch and fellow Olympians Janet Evans and Nadia Comaneci.

"It was amazing because I have so many people from all facets of my life here tonight and they are all here and celebrating it is all wonderful," Louganis told People after the ceremony, which was held at sunset. "I already feel different. The ceremony was so reflective and representative of who we are."

Man with knife arrested trying to enter Buckingham Palace

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 06:08 AM PDT

London (AFP) - British police on Monday charged a man who is suspected of attempting to enter Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of Queen Elizabeth II, while carrying a knife.

The queen was not at the palace at the time.

Scotland Yard said David Belmar, 44, from north London, will appear in custody at West London Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

The force earlier said the arrested man had "attempted to enter Buckingham Palace via the north centre gate but was apprehended immediately by police."

"The man was searched and found to be in possession of a knife, which was seized," the force said in a statement.

The incident happened at around 11:30 am (1030 GMT), it said.

The man was charged with trespass on a protected site and possession of a bladed/pointed article.

A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman told AFP: "I can confirm that the queen was not in residence when the incident happened but other than that we are not commenting."

The arrest comes after a series of security incidents at Buckingham Palace, the main London residence of the royal family.

In September a man who scaled a fence to get into the palace was arrested on suspicion of burglary.

A few days afterwards, with security on high alert, jittery royal protection officers challenged the queen's third child Prince Andrew in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

The police later apologised to the Duke of York, who is fifth in line to the British throne, but denied a newspaper report that officers had pointed guns at him and shouted at him to get down on the ground.

In February police used a Taser stun gun to subdue a man waving large knives outside the palace.

The most serious breach at the palace came in 1982 when unemployed man Michael Fagan got inside the queen's private chambers while she was in bed.

Fagan spent 10 minutes talking to the sovereign after climbing over the palace walls and up a drainpipe, and she raised the alarm when Fagan asked for a cigarette.

Review: McCartney stays fresh, familiar on 'New'

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 03:24 AM PDT

Paul McCartney, "New" (Hear Music)

For his 16th solo record, and first of original material in six years, Paul McCartney turned to a team of four hot producers to come up with something "New."

The result is both fresh and comfortably familiar. McCartney, a master of the catchy 3-minute pop song, isn't reinventing himself here as the title may suggest. Rather, he's once again compiling an enjoyable 45 minutes or so of toe-tapping pop songs that are sure to please his longtime fans while doing little to break much truly "new" ground.

Just try listening to "On My Way to Work" or "Queenie Eye" without bobbing your head along to the beat. Really, love him or hate him, few can pump out these types of ditties quite like McCartney.

Still, he's no Bob Dylan.

There are flirtations with material with some gravitas here, but it's just that � a flirtation. McCartney may toy with addressing in song whatever demons he may have, but he certainly doesn't linger.

That said, the mere fact that McCartney is able to come up with something that isn't a simple retread of his past successes must be considered a success � especially when that would be the easy way out, and one that he's taken many times over his storied career.

Much of the credit for the success of "New" goes to McCartney's four producers � especially Paul Epworth (Adele) and Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse). The other two, Giles Martin and Ethan Johns, are the sons of famous Beatles producers George Martin and Glyn Johns.

While the multi-producer approach could have resulted in a hot mess, the end result is surprisingly cohesive, modern-sounding and, most of all, fun to listen to.
