Where Eve will say iDo! Persian rugs, giant floral balls and privacy screens arrive at the 12th Century Cotswolds church where Apple heiress will marry her TeamGB star fiance in the society wedding of the year
The Cotswolds was a hive of activity today ahead of the society wedding of the year as Apple heiress Eve Jobs gets set to wed her TeamGB star fiance. The wedding ceremony of the Apple heiress and model to TeamGB equestrian star Harry Charles will be held at St Michael's and All Angels church in Great Tew on Saturday in what is being billed as the society wedding of the year. Dozens of staff this morning descended on the Norman church to prepare for the £5m wedding. Workmen were seen arriving at the church with Persian rugs, lighting rigs and floral display pieces to transform it into the perfect setting for the summer wedding of the year The Grade I listed church, which dates form 1170, is just half a mile from Soho Farmhouse where many of the guests are believed to be staying. There was a parallel buzz of activity in the grounds of the nearby Estelle Manor country house hotel at Eynsham Hall where the main wedding party is to be held. One worker who was shuttling between venues told us: 'It's all for the Jobs wedding - it's going to be quite a do.' Another said: 'This is a real takeover of the Cotswolds. They're inviting hundreds of people and block booking venues.' St Michael's is one of the most beautiful venues in the Cotswolds and was the choice when film director Sam Mendes and classical musician Alison Balsom had their 2017 ceremony there. A team of set designers were laying £15,000 Persian rugs running up the church aisle from the doors to the chancel - while others were adding temporary upholstery to pews. Lighting rigs and speakers were also being set up. Huge white polystyrene balls, placed all around the church and by the altar, will hold garlands of freshly cut flowers on Saturday morning shortly before the ceremony begins. Wicker fence screens were erected at the entrance to the churchyard last night to shield the bride and groom and their guests from view. Specialist cleaners arrived after lunch today to spruce up the ancient place of worship for the society wedding of the year. The ceremony is expected to be conducted by St Michael's newly appointed vicar, Cannon William Burke, a former infantry officer. Cannon Burke declined to discuss the wedding, but tradesmen involved in the huge operation were more forthcoming. One told MailOnline: 'The wedding ceremony will be here at St Michael's but the main party is being held at Estelle Manor....' The grounds of Estelle Manor, where rooms start at £795, is the scene of major preparations this morning including stages and tents. One local told us: 'There are going to be a lot of VIPs here this weekend.' The Manor is renowned internationally as a venue for huge weddings as its copious grounds can accommodate hundreds of guests - while Soho Farmhouse is a glamorous private members club is beloved by A-list celebrities. Eve, 27, who once was named by society bible Tatler as one of its 'new generation of It Girls', and sportsman Harry, 26, got engaged last September and began dating in 2022, making their debut just a year ago at the Paris Olympic Games. Their extravagant nuptials will take place over four days, and come exactly one month after Eve jetted to the Italian isle of Capri for a glitzy hen do. And on the guestlist are a mixture of British sports stars, American politicians and even a sprinkling of royalty. Former US Vice President Kamala Harris is tipped to be among the VIP guests, with Sir Elton John reportedly set to be performing - for a rumoured fee of £1million - and even Princess Beatrice expected to attend. Eve's mother Laurene, left a widow following Jobs' passing in 2011 aged 56 from pancreatic cancer, is said to have gone 'all out' for the wedding with help from renowned society events planner Stanlee Gatti. A-list parties are set to fly to Oxford airport on their private jets, where they will be met by helicopters to transport them to the venue. Also making the VIP guestlist are Kamala's daughter Phoebe and Bill Gates's daughter Jennifer, according to the newspaper. They will be joined by celebs including Arctic Monkeys star Matt Helders, Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica - an equestrian, Apple designer Jony Ive, Sofia Abramovich, daughter of ex-Chelsea owner Roman. And it's not just Kamala set to make an impression from the politics scene in the US - as a source told the paper that 'a lot of important American political figures' will be present. Sources close to the family previously said invites have gone out to figures from fashion, sport, and business, with speculation that Princess Beatrice and Jennifer Gates may be among the attendees. Eve, a model and show jumper in her own right, has two older siblings and one half-sibling. Reed Jobs, 33, and Erin Jobs, 29, will likely be at the wedding. However it's currently not known if her half sibling Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 47, will attend. Aside from her siblings, Eve has a plethora of high-profile friends descended from other tech billionaires, who will likely see her walk down the aisle. She is also friends with Lilli Hymowitz, daughter of billionaire Gregg Hymowitz, the CEO and founder of investment firm EnTrust Global.

Victoria's Secret vet Joy Corrigan drops MORE bombshell news... after shock pregnancy reveal
Joy Corrigan and Todd Kraines got engaged Sunday while enjoying what she described as 'an epic weekend' at a Malibu resort. The stunning model, 37, recently revealed she was expecting her first child with Kraines who proposed to her at the Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club, sources told TMZ Tuesday. Corrigan - who has been featured by Sports Illustrated, Playboy and Victoria's Secret - was under the impression they would be spending a quiet 'staycation' at the idyllic Southern California hotspot. Kraines proposed during what Corrigan believed was a dinner date, sources told the outlet, as he had a golf cart take them to a spot in the woods where a massive floral arrangement was set up. Kraines told Corrigan that 'the last six months with her have been the wildest ride but the best of his life,' before dropping to one knee and proposing. The question was not a total surprise - the pair had been shopping for rings recently, sources told the outlet - but Corrigan wasn't expecting to hear it so soon. After the proposal, the newly-engaged pair enjoyed a romantic dinner and informed relatives of the wonderful news, insiders told the outlet. Corrigan shared a series of Instagram Stories posts Tuesday with her 764,000 followers in which she documented tidbits of the romantic summer weekend with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians personality. In one shot, ostensibly linked to the engagement, the model was seen hugging a floral arrangement so enormous she was unable to wrap her arms fully around it. She wrote she was the 'luckiest girl' with a heart eyes emoji, tagging Kraines into the post. Her next post showed off the idyllic surroundings of the resort, including a large body of water. Corrigan also documented the early days of what appears to be a fitness-oriented pregnancy, as she exercised in a gray one-piece athleticwear ensemble. She was seen posing with her friends, including fellow model Ludi Delfino, as they got in a workout on the summer day. Kraines on Tuesday spoke with TMZ about his 'bun in the oven' with Corrigan. Asked what the child's gender is, Kraines said he thinks they do know, but will 'let Joy handle that part.' He said that his model fiancee has been 'glowing' and 'adorable' amid the early days of her pregnancy. Kraines said: 'The first trimester was a little interesting, but now she's she's eating, so it's good. 'She's a stickler with her food, and making sure the baby is all good.' Kraines said that his family had been in touch with their longtime pals, the Kardashians, amid the flurry of life events. 'I know Kris talked to my mom, so that was exciting, and she actually asked if it was true the news, and obviously it is,' Kraines said. Asked if he would name one of the Kardashians one of his child's godparents, Kraines was stuck for an answer.

Playboy pinup Carmen Electra, 53, was on Baywatch and romanced Prince and Dave Navarro... see her now
Carmen Electra was the 'it' pinup girl of the 1990s. Not only was she on the Baywatch series after she was pretty much discovered by her boyfriend Prince, but she was also a nude model. The 53-year-old brunette bombshell - who was born as Tara Leigh Patrick - was posed for the cover of Playboy magazine several times after striking up a friendship with editor Hugh Hefner. Movie roles followed: Electra was in American Vampire, Good Burger, Scary Movie, and various parody films such as Date Movie and Epic Movie. She also starred in the remake of the television show Starsky & Hutch. On Tuesday the actress looked incredible at the Freakier Friday premiere held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. Also there were Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. Electra wore a strapless ruby red sparkly mini dress with a train as she added black platform heels. Her long hair that was highlighted cascaded down her bare shoulders. Last year she was in the news for a legal matter. She filed legal documents asking for her name to be formally changed to Carmen Electra, as per TMZ. The star — who was seen holding hands with Godsmack lead signer Sully Erna, 55 — filed the paperwork on December 29, 2023, though it's unclear why she has decided to make the name change official. Electra has been going by the moniker since the early '90s, when she became a worldwide sensation thanks to Baywatch. It's not clear if the request has been granted yet, but the process usually doesn't take long. Though she has been married twice, she has never taken the last name of either of her husband. Electra was married to musician Dave Navarro from 2003 until 2007. Prior to that she wed NBA star Dennis Rodman in 1998, before their divorce the following year in 1999. The star became known as Carmen Electra during her years at Prince's Paisley Park Records in the early 90s. In 1993 she made her singing debut with her self-titled debut studio album, which would be her only one. Carmen previously reveled that Prince was the one who coined her famous moniker, after they met in 1991. 'I auditioned for an all girl group that he was putting together and he ended up signing me to his label Paisley Park,' she told The Yo Show in 2014, as per Yahoo Entertainment. 'After I danced for him he said, "You look like Electra. That should be your name."' At the time she shared that the nickname didn't stick at first. 'I thought it sounded kinda like a super hero type of name which actually it is. So I was hesitant but it just sorta grew on me and that's it. I'm Electra now,' the bombshell explained. Following the release of her record, Carmen continued on to have a successful career including a Playboy magazine cover, and numerous television and movie roles. Carmen landed her iconic Baywatch role as sexy lifeguard Lani McKenzie in 1997, which helped establish her as a sex symbol. The star left the series after one season because of her hectic schedule and her mother being ill. She later returned for the reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding, in 2003.
