Redford weds, Pitt reaches out to geeks

Robert Redford weds artist in Germany
Sorry ladies, but Robert Redford, 71, is officially off the market. Sources just learned he married artist Sibylle Szaggars, 51, at the Louis C. Jacob Hotel in Hamburg, Germany on Saturday evening. The ceremony was attended by 30 family and friends. Szaggars is an abstract painter who's work has been displayed internationally. The two met in the early 1990s at a Sundance Film Festival event. Redford's previous 27-year marriage to Lola Redford ended in 1985. The couple had four children (though only three survived after one died of sudden infant death syndrome.) (People, Eonline.com)

Debbie Rowe 'not after MJ's money'
Sources connected with the child custody battle between the Jackson family and the kids mother, Debbie Rowe, say that all Rowe wants is assurance that a previsouly made arrangement will continue to be honored. Apparently Rowe and Jackson formerly reached a plan where Rowe would get a large sum of money over a period of years. The current negotiations between Rowe and the Jackson family revolve around assuring her that the family will continue to abide by the terms. If the agreement is upheld, Rowe will not fight for custody. (TMZ.com)
