Sideshow: Howard Stern embarks on his second marriage

It's official. Shock jock Howard Stern, the radio talker known for hosting porn stars, married longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky on Friday at Manhattan's tony Le Cirque restaurant.

The bride wore a white chiffon gown with cutaway back and sides. Actor Mark Consuelos, an ordained minister and husband of Kelly Ripa, officiated.

The 180 guests included Joan Rivers, Barbara Walters, Billy Joel, Steve Schirripa, Chevy Chase, Tommy Mottola, and Donald and Melania Trump.

The wedding is an about-face for the media maverick, who once worried on the air that marriage to the model could spoil a good thing. But he took the plunge anyway.

Stern and his wife of 21 years, Alison Berns, had three daughters before divorcing in 2001. Their romance inspired his film Private Parts.

Janet Jackson ill

Janet Jackson has canceled her fourth show in less than a week because of an undisclosed illness.

She hoped to perform in Greensboro, N.C., on Saturday, but a local doctor advised against it, after it became "evident" she was not fully recovered, according to a statement from Jackson.

Reps for singer, 42, say she became "suddenly ill" and was hospitalized Monday night in Montreal shortly after arriving for a show. She also canceled concerts in Boston and Philadelphia on Wednesday and Thursday. Her publicist did not elaborate Saturday, saying only that she was "recuperating." This is her first North American tour in seven years.

'Chihuahua' fetches most

The comedy Beverly Hills Chihuahua opened as the top film in U.S. theaters, collecting $29 million in ticket sales for Walt Disney Co.

The teen romance Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist was third with $12 million. The films were among eight new releases playing in 500 or more theaters.

Among them, Blindness was 12th with $2 million and How to Lose Friends and Alienate People was 19th with $1.4 million.

A returning film with teen appeal, the Shia LaBeouf thriller Eagle Eye, fell to second from first place with $17.7 million. Time Warner Inc.'s Nights in Rodanthe slid to fourth from second with $7.36 million.
