Robert Redford has married his long-time girlfriend in a private ceremony in Germany, say reports.

The Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid star is understood to have tied the knot with Sibylle Szaggars at the luxurious Louis C. Jacob Hotel in Hamberg on Saturday night.

Speaking to People, Pastor Frank Englebrecht confirmed that he had presided over the "very intimate ceremony" in front of around 30 friends and family.

Redford began dating the 51-year-old artist in 1996 and they became engaged last March. They currently live at his 5,500-acre ranch in Utah, near the location of his annual Sundance independent film festival.

It is the second marriage for both Redford and Szaggars, with local newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt reporting that they will hold an "official" wedding party in Mexico in September.

Rapper Ll Cool J was forced to endure the flight from hell during a routine trip from Los Angeles to St. Louis, Missouri - after passengers were quarantined for three hours following an emergency landing.

The 41 year old MC was jetting to the state for the All-Star baseball game on Tuesday when a passenger claimed they could smell smoke.

The pilot took the decision to make an emergency landing in Kansas City.

But things got even worse when one of the passengers, who had returned from a trip outside of the US, fell ill, meaning all of the flight's ticketholders had to stay under quarantine for three hours.

However, LL Cool J proved himself to be the perfect superstar - happily posing for pictures and signed autographs for fans.

One passenger tells ESPN.com, "I was on the plane last night, too - sitting right behind LL on the plane, then with him in the airport in KC. I have to say that he couldn't have been more cool with all of us.

"Of course, some of us wanted to get a photo with him and he was just great about it. Given the situation, no one would have blamed him if he'd said 'hey, not now' - but he said 'sure!' and provided big hugs and warm smiles for us.

"Major, major points for being a true gentleman and a trooper."

But even the admiration from devotees couldn't get the star back on another plane - he hired a driver to complete the rest of his trip.

I hardly think being quarantined for three hours after a flight constitutes the "flight form hell."

British actor Jude Law is facing allegations he attacked a female photographer outside a London club in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The Alfie star was enjoying a night out at exclusive hotspot Automat when he allegedly clashed with the unnamed woman, who was taking pictures of him leaving the venue.

The 28-year-old snapper alleges Law hit her on the head and slapped her in the face in an unprovoked attack, which was caught on camera by other members of the paparazzi.

The photographer tells British newspaper the Evening Standard, "He hit me full on the face, it was a real stinger, it was very sore.”

It is not known whether the snapper has reported the incident to the police.

Law has previously landed in trouble over scuffles with the paparazzi - in 2007 he was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm after he attempted to grab a photographer's camera. The actor escaped without charge.

"So I grew up knowing Michael very well and when he had his daughter, he always loved the name Paris and grew up being an uncle to me. So he asked my mom if it was okay and of course she said yes and I think she's such a beautiful little girl and I'm proud we have the same name."
