Matthew, Camila tie the knot in Texas

Published June 11, 2012 4:00am ET



Matthew McConaughey has finally taken the plunge with Camila Alves after six years together and two kids.

The longtime couple wed in a private ceremony in Austin, Texas, on Saturday in front of about 100 people.

According to “Entertainment Tonight,” the theme of the wedding was “island beach meets Texas” with yellow and orange colors.

Camila, a Brazilian-born model, took Matthew’s last name to officially become Camila McConaughey.

The pair became engaged on Christmas Day 2011 but kept the wedding plans a secret — even from some guests — until the last minute, People magazine reports.

Camila told “ET Canada” in March that her children, Levi, almost 4, and Vida, 2 1/2, were excited when they found out Mom and Dad were getting married.

“Levi actually understands what it means now that Mama’s going to have the same last name as they have, so that’s neat!” the “Shear Genius” host said.

According to Us Weekly, following the ceremony, guests could celebrate all night or camp in state-of-the-art tents set up on the property.

Some of the big-name guests camping out deep in the heart of Texas were Woody Harrelson and Richard Linklater.

‘X Factor’ judges walk out in KC

It looks like things are staring out great for new “X Factor” judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato.

E! News reports that the two pop divas walked out during Kansas City auditions for the show (along with L.A. Reid and Louis Walsh — who was filling in for a sick Simon Cowell).

Reports say the final straw for the four judges was a vocally challenged contestant who refused to look at them while he sang.

“It was really awkward. You could tell the judges were done,” a source tells People.  “I don’t think they had a choice. They didn’t want to waste their time.”

All the judges but Brit came back to the stage to finish out the critiques. The KC audience closed out the day chanting, “Where’s Britney?”
