New York' NYC Pride parade this year was euphoric because of the legalization of same-sex marriage, which turned the celebration into a huge engagement party. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the law late Friday, which is estimated to bring around $284 million to the state's economy, according to a report by the Independent Democratic Conference.

Celebrities showed their support throughout the weekend and here are some of their tweets:

"I can't stop crying. We did it kids.  The revolution is ours to fight for love, justice+equality. Rejoice NY, and propose. We did it!!" - Lady Gaga

"Time to celebrate!!! Marriage Equality for NYers! Its about... love!" - Ricky Martin

"Alec! Now we can get married!" - Steve Martin to Alec Baldwin, on Twitter.

"Ok. But if you play that ... banjo after eleven o'clock..." - Baldwin's response.

"I sing it every night, but now it has better meaning: 'New York- concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do.' As if I didn't already have enough to celebrate and enjoy today. A big hug for New York from my lone hotel room in London." - Darren Criss

Érase una vez, a romance blossomed between international superstar Julio Iglesias, then 46, and model Miranda Rijnsburger, then 25. Twenty years and five kids later, they’ve finally decided to make it official!

Sorry ladies! Por si los cinco hijos que comparte con Miranda, entre trece y trés años de edad, weren’t enough to take Julio off the market, now he’s gone and made an honest woman of her by tying the knot. The intimate ceremony took place in Marbella, Spain, where only their five young kids, two witnesses, and a priest were present.

We know Julio’s never been an old fashioned kinda guy, so no one ever expected him to rush into another marriage. But seriously, twenty years? Ya era tiempo Miranda! And it looks like his sexy son Enrique Iglesias is following in papi’s footsteps. He’s been dating tennis star Anna Kournikova since she starred in his “Escape” video back in 2001, and no nuptials there todavía.

De todos modos, congrats to the happy newlyweds! And please use protection during the honeymoon, it’s still Summer y el sol está que quema. As fertile as Julio is, with eight kids and all, we recommend at least SPF 50, his and her pleasure.

After a 27-year relationship, two men on Friday (July 30) became the first gay couple to wed under Argentina's historic same-sex marriage law — the first of its kind for a Latin American nation. Jose Luis Navarro, 54, and Miguel Angel Calefato, 65, tied the knot in provincial Santiago del Estero.

Lucky for them, Mexico City recently offered a free honeymoon to the first same-sex Argentine married couple, but Navarro said he and Calefato were reluctant to accept. "It seems superficial to think of marrying just to win a prize," Navarro said.

Argentina became the first Latin American country to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide on July 15, but Mexico City decreed the romantic act back in December of 2009. Amid all the press surrounding the South American country, la ciudad decided to capitalize on a bit of that fame by offering a free honeymoon to the first same-sex couple that marries in Argentina, further promoting gay-friendly tourism in Central America.  

Mexico City's tourism secretary Alejandro Rojas said the couple's all-expense paid vacation will include airfare, hotels, meals, and leisure activities.

Rojas told the Press Association:

"Mexico City will become a centre, where (gay) people from all over the world will be able to come and have their wedding, and then spend their honeymoon here.

"We are already in talks with some travel agencies that are planning to offer package tours that include flights, hotels, guides, and everything they need for the wedding, like banquets. We are going to become a city on par with Venice or San Francisco."

Whether this publicity stunt will do the trick is unknown, but one Argentine couple is certainly the recipient of a wonderful offer no matter the reason.

Wow. Doesn’t it seem like only yesterday when little Carmen and Juni were suited up, battling the forces of evil? Well, it’s actually been nearly 10 years since the first “Spy Kids” hit the screen and now our sweet little Carmen Cortez is all grown up and engaged to be married!

Yes, 21-year-old Alexa Vega is will wed her boyfriend Sean Covel this Fall. He's one of the producers of “Napoleon Dynamite” and according to her tweets, she’s found a very special someone to walk her down the aisle.

“My Papi Robert Rodriguez is walking me down the aisle this October!”

Yup, he’s seen her through three "Spy Kids" movies, and now director Robert Rodriguez is going to see Alexa Vega through one of the most special moments in her life! Which got us wondering, could any other famous costars be on the invite list?

Perhaps a serenade from her "Spy Kids" dad Antonio Banderas? Or Pedro (Efren Ramirez) as one of Sean’s groomsmen? We guess we’ll have to wait and see.

But in the meantime, we are very excited to see Alexa showing off the bling bling with the man of her dreams!

Some of us on Team Blogamole are soooooo jealous! The second Zoe Saldana starts getting red hot in movies like “Avatar” and “Star Trek,” she’s taken right off the market. Yes fellas, it’s time to give up those fantasies of perfect romance with everyone’s favorite Na’vi; she’s now officially engaged.

So, who’s the lucky guy? Her boyfriend of over 10 years, actor and web guru, Keith Britton. We know what you’re thinking. 10 YEARS?! How come we’ve never heard about this dude before? Probably because Zoe prefers to keep her love life low pro.

When speaking about him at a London event earlier this month, Zoe said, “He’s a very independent soul. He understands what I do, but this is not what he fell in love with and that’s what I love.”

Well if you’re curious about Keith, he does have his own IMDb page (and a couple guest shots on “As The World Turns”). While you're trolling the guy, you might as well check out this blog, which we're pretty sure is not him but we're reading it anyway.

No word on wedding dates or anything, but we’ll begrudgingly send our congrats. It's OK though, we get it. It was never going to happen. *sniff*

Don't worry, Zoe. Give us a few weeks and our haterade will be replaced with champagne toasts!

Could the third time be the charm for Eva La Rue? After a somewhat bumpy start, the "CSI: Miami beauty" married hubby #3 this past weekend at an elegant seaside wedding in Zihuatenejo, Mexico.

Eva had previously said "I do" to "Seinfeld" regular John O’Hurley and her former All My Children costar John Callahan (who’s the father of her daughter, Kaya). Interestingly, the latest Mr. La Rue, businessman Joe Cappuccio, was originally set to marry Eva way back in June 2009.

So, why didn’t we hear about this wedding a year ago? They actually had called it off and only reconciled after eight months of being apart. But by the way the guests described Eva, it sounds like it was the worth the wait! Everything seemed to click perfectly… A sandy beach side ceremony, with a gorgeous bride decked out in a one-shouldered Oday Shakar gown.

“We could not have dreamed of a more perfect day,” said Eva. “Getting married in this beautiful location on the ocean with all of our family and friends is so special. We are so blessed.”

For all you wedding chisme lovers, exclusive pix of Eva and her stunning gown will be featured in next week’s issue of Life & Style.

Looks like Luis Fonsi y Adamari Lopez are no longer each other's number 1.

After rumors of infidelity swirled around Luis Fonsi in recent weeks, he and su esposa announced yesterday that they are officially ending their marriage. La pareja made the following statement:

"Luego de ponderarlo detenidamente, se ha tomado la decisión de spararnos. Es una situación que venimos trabajando hace algún tiempo y que entendemos en este momento es lo mejor. Al igual que desde el primer día en que nos conocimos, todo ha sido en paz y buscando el bienestar de ambos y de nuestras familias. En el último año, quizás por lo complicado de nuestras carreras que nos exige distanciarnos por momentos, y por ser ambos figuras públicas, han circulado toda variedad de rumores. Desde una recaída de salud grave, infidelidades e incluso hasta embarazos confirmados. Como ya es conocido ninguno de los anteriores ha sido cierto, y más importante aún, nada de esto ha influenciado ni tiene que ver en lo más mínimo con esta decisión. Aunque dolorosa para ambos, está hecha en total armonía y con el profundo amor que ambos nos tenemos. Aprovechamos para agradecerles por todo el apoyo que siempre nos han brindado comp paraje y para que nos sigan ofreciendo todo ese cariño y respeto en estos momentos."

Luis has been linked to Lilia Luciano, who made the following statemento to El Nuevo Dia in her defense:

No tengo nada que ver con ese bochinche. Adamari es mi amiga y Fonsi también porque vamos al mismo gimnasio, es algo inventado no sé con qué fin. Siempre he admirado a ese matrimoñio y los quiero ver tenido hijos. Son una pareja linda que ha sobrevivido a muchas dificultades. Les tengo cariño a los dos y nunca he mirado a Fonsi con otros ojos que no sean de admiración.

We wish Luis and Adamari the best of luck, and hope that if it's meant to be, they'll find their way back to one another. [People En Español]
