Luke Campbell, who stars in the upcoming VH1 reality series “Luke’s Parental Advisory,” got married to his fiancée Kristin Thompson Saturday in Dallas at the Saint Luke Community Methodist Church.

“I waited 47 years to find a special woman and have found that in Kristin,” Campbell tells People.com. “I never knew that I could feel love on another level like this until I met her, and I am now honored to call her my wife.”

Some 300 guests were on hand for the ceremony, which was followed by a reception at the Opus Grand Ballroom at Hotel Palomar.

Doug E. Fresh deejayed and performed, while such guests as Arizona Cardinal Edgerrin James remained on the dance floor until the early morning. Soul singer Betty Wright serenaded the happy couple. Their first dance was to Brian McKnight’s “Back At One.”

Thompson, 27, who serves as general counsel for Campbell’s company Luke Entertainment, wore a wedding gown by Monique Lhuillier. She and her groom met at Jerry’s Deli in Miami Beach two years ago. He proposed to her on Halloween last year.

This is the first marriage for both. Campbell has two children from a previous relationship. The wedding will be featured on the season finale of “Luke’s Parental Advisory” in September. VH1 will premiere the series on Aug. 4 at 10:30 p.m.

There’s been recent movement in the divorce case of Jasmine Guy and Terrence Duckett.

The actress, best known for her role as Whitley Gilbert on “A Different World,” filed for divorce in April citing irreconcilable differences. TMZ.com reported yesterday that Duckett filed a response last Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, but there’s no word on the reason behind his action.

The couple, who are both 46, were married for nearly 10 years. Both are reportedly seeking physical and legal custody of their 9-year-old daughter, Imani. Guy is also requesting that the court deny any spousal support to Duckett, but is asking it from him, reported People magazine.

Guy’s original divorce papers also listed two pages of items titled her “separate property,” including her wedding ring, paintings, sculptures, her BlackBerry, DVD players, pots, pans, and a toaster.

Two minutes into Wednesday’s broadcast of “The View,” co-host Sherri Shepherd began addressing the controversial quotes that emerged from her interview with black Christian women’s magazine, Precious Times.

It was reported Monday that she told the publication she has had “more abortions than I’d like to count” and that she wished her co-host Barbara Walters could be “saved.” Yesterday morning, she apologized to Walters, who was not present during the broadcast, and clarified her remarks about having many abortions.

She said the reporter started out by asking how she deals with her fears as a member of “The View.”

Shepherd explained Wednesday: “My joke was “Oh sometimes I say ‘Lord, Juanita Bynum or Joyce Meyers would be so good at this table. And they could lay hands on Barbara Walters and get her saved.’ It was a joke that I made. It didn’t come off the way I wanted it to.”

“I called Barbara in France and I told her [about the quote], and Barbara laughed,” said Shepherd. “She didn’t ask me to say this, but I do want to say Barbara, if I offended you in any way, I apologize. I love you.”

As for her other headline-making remark about having multiple abortions, Shepherd explained that she intended only to encourage women who are going through the guilt and shame of abortions by sharing her own experiences.

“[The reporter] didn’t print the entire quote,” she clarified. “So all it said was, “I’ve had more abortions than I can count.”

She shared the rest of her quote, telling her co-hosts: “I had suffered from a lot of shame and guilt, and I didn’t know how to forgive myself, and a wonderful woman at one of the women’s conferences I speak at came to me and said, ‘Sherri, you know when you get to heaven all your babies are going to be there saying, ‘Hi momma.’”

Rev. Al Sharpton is out of hot water with the U.S. Attorney’s office.

Federal prosecutors dropped their investigation into allegations that the activist cheated on his taxes and extorted contributions from corporations in exchange for not protesting against them.

Sharpton has agreed to pay millions of dollars in back taxes but he won’t face criminal charges or have to appear before a grand jury.

About a dozen of Sharpton’s aides who were served with federal subpoenas will no longer be required to testify.

However, Sharpton and his National Action Network (NAN) will have to pay unpaid taxes which are believed to total anywhere between $2 million and $9 million. Prosecutors have given the case to the IRS which will calculate Sharpton and the NAN’s final tax bills.

“According to the government, Rev. Sharpton individually owed in excess of $1 million and NAN owed in excess of $1 million, over 50% of which was penalties in both cases,” Sharpton’s lawyer, Michael Hardy, said.

Sharpton’s legal bills could add up to an additional $2 million.

Sharpton earns about $750,000 a year through his various media gigs: his syndicated daily radio show (heard in 40 markets nationwide), weekly TV show and appearances on the “Tom Joyner Morning Show.” He gets between $15,000 and $20,000 each time he appears on the lecture circuit and another $2,000 each time he gives a guest sermon at somebody’s church. He’s still earning royalties on two books, as well.

When you add all of those numbers up, Sharpton can easily pocket a million dollars a year. He puts a lot of that money back into the National Action Network. Most of the group’s income and tax records were destroyed in a fire that gutted the NAN headquarters a few years ago.

Students, faculty and guests of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa were sworn to secrecy last weekend after finding out that the school’s founder was on her way for a visit.

South Africa’s News24.com is reporting that everyone at the Academy had to sign an agreement promising not to have cameras or cell phones when Winfrey arrived, and not to tell anyone that she was coming.

The talk show host arrived via private jet from London, where she had attended events surrounding Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebration. With best friend Gayle King by her side, Winfrey threw a dinner for the students and presented 11-year-old South African violinist In-Cha as the evening’s special guest.

Oprah and the school’s executive head, John Samuel, gave speeches at the dinner, while later in the evening, she joined the girls for dancing.

Kanye West says he’s about to create a line of men’s footwear for the French fashion house Louis Vuitton, as well as a non-Louis-related line of womens wear headed for stores this fall.

The rapper showed up Friday at Vuitton’s spring 2009 show in Paris’ Jardins de Bagatelle and told Women’s Wear Daily: “I’m here for Louis” before revealing that he is working with the fashion giant on a men’s shoe line.

He also used his appearance at the show to plug his own line of women’s fashions that will debut this fall.

“I grew up with the Louis look, you know,” West told the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper. “I just love the style.”

A mobile entertainment company is offering free ringtones of Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O’Neal rapping, “Kobe, tell me how my a** tastes?” from his recent freestyle rhyme that has since become a YouTube sensation.

FunMobility says it’s providing Shaq’s original rap as a free download, as well as a premium ringtone mashup of the original rap and a JibJab-style animation with the mashup soundtrack.

The infamous freestyle took place on June 22 at a nightclub in New York. Shaq, who won a championship with Miami in 2006, was poking fun at his former Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant, who has not gotten a ring since Shaq was traded in 2004.

In the freestyle, Shaq raps, “You know how I be, last week Kobe couldn’t do without me.” He also attacks Kobe for “ratting” him out and causing his divorce. The NBA star goes on to repeatedly rap, “Kobe, tell me how my a** tastes,” even getting the crowd to repeat the lyrics.

Is Eddie Murphy getting tired of the Hollywood grind? While plugging his upcoming film “Meet Dave,” due in theaters July 11, the actor told “Extra’s” Tanika Ray that he may leave movies for good and return to his roots on stage.

“I have close to fifty movies and it’s like, why am I in the movies?” he said, adding, “I’ve done that part now. I’ll go back to the stage and do standup.”

Murphy, 47, is still attached to revive his Axel Foley character in a fourth “Beverly Hills Cop” film. He admits to having had initial reservations about the project, because “the movie wasn’t ready to be done.” Murphy said he agreed to do “Cop 3″ because he was offered an obscene amount of money.

“They said this is how much we’re going to pay you. I said, ‘let’s go shoot it! I don’t care if the script ain’t right,” he said.

As for Eddie’s love life, the bachelor told “Extra” he is currently looking for a woman with “just honesty and some other things.”

VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) The plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West’s mother before she died last fall has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.

Police said Dr. Jan Adams was seen using an off-ramp to get on a freeway early Thursday in the Northern California town of Vallejo, and was driving on a suspended license from a previous DUI.

The former host of TV’s “Plastic Surgery: Before and After” had operated on 58-year-old Donda West the day before she died of likely heart disease coupled with surgery complications.

The state was investigating whether Adams’ medical license should be revoked or suspended because of two previous alcohol-related arrests.

Adams was scheduled for arraignment in Solano County Superior Court on Monday.

Do you ever feel that your potential for new life is held captive by hard times? Are you stuck between a rock and a hard place?

It is easy to allow temporal problems to level us and determine our long-term perspective. We easily allow the rocks in life to shape and influence us to the point of mental death and emotional decay. It is time to follow Christ’s example and change our perspectives. Jesus was a sculpture who used the stone that was put in the exit of his grave as a stepping stone and not a barrier. No rock nor hard place can keep us from the momentum of God’s resurrecting love and new life. The hard places in life must not keep us from our purpose. We must become spiritual sculptors who transform hard rocks into beautiful works of art.

The movement of God in our lives allows us to sculpt adventure out of adversity, shape flexibility out of the unyielding, and mold beauty out of what appears to be ugly. There was a rock and there was a hard place, but Jesus was not stuck between them for long. He did not allow his rock to negatively shape him, he was a spiritual sculptor who positively shaped it.

What are the rocks of resistance that you believe bind you?
How do you feel behind the rock?
How can you shape your adversity into adventure?
How can you mold beauty out the ugly things that you face in life?
How is God calling you to be more flexible in the face of the unyielding?
