April 24 -- Toni Braxton Marries, Dances to Bee Gees
Grammy-winning R&B singer Toni Braxton tied the knot on Saturday with her boyfriend of four years, Keri Lewis.

Among the 250 guests were T-Boz and Chilli from TLC, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, and Usher. Braxton was covered up a bit more than she was at the Grammys, wearing an ivory-colored satin gown designed by Vera Wang, according to the New York Daily News, with $420,000 worth of jewels supplied by Stephen Russell. The couple's first dance was to The Bee Gees' recording of "More Than a Woman."

British pop singer Phil Collins and his third wife, Orianne, had their first child on Saturday in Geneva, according to Reuters.
