Gossip & Rumors
The D-List Event of the Season

Sara Blakely, Jesse ItzlerIt's a celebrity wedding with invited guests like Tom Brady and John Travolta, and Coldplay as the houseband. So which mega-couple is getting hitched? Sara Blakely and Jesse Itzler.

Um, who?

Blakely was the runner-up on the short-lived Richard Branson reality series, "The Rebel Billionaire." Jesse Itzler was once a rapper known as Jesse Jaymes. He had mild success with something called "Shake It (Like A White Girl)" -- he also wrote the New York Knicks theme song, "Go New York, Go!"

Both have gone on to have crazy success -- Blakely owns a women's undergarment company called SPANX and Itzler is Co-Founder and Vice-Chairman of Marquis Jet, a leading private jet company.

We're told their wedding, set to go down this Saturday in the posh Florida community of Boca Grande, will have 350+ guests. We hear they booked up nearly all the rental houses around town and reserved hundreds of golf carts -- because that's how they roll in Boca Grande.

16. I live in the area and went out to boca friday and saturday to see what the hype was all about. we actually crashed one of the events, a pool party. we didn't see anyone famous but then again we got kicked out by the groom ten mintues after we got there. saturday there was a street fair and we went to that but didn't see anybody. there were rumors flying all over the place about who was there. but my mom went to watch the golf cart procession to the wedding and saw matt damon and his wife and that was it. but the locals were mad because they flew in three hundred plus golf carts, built their own starbucks, and rented out one restaurant so none of the local businesses except the inn, and the restaurant made any money. we did find out where the after part was but it wasn't until midnight, and we didn't want to crash it. i think it was a cool thing for the wedding guests because it is a beautiful area but for the locals...not so much.

Itzler and Blakely both have a lot going on for them and are philanthropic to boot. Good for them for bringing business to an Island that would have otherwise been closed without any shops open during this time of year. They both seem really nice and just because they are not messy celebs doesn't mean they deserve the negative dissing D-list attitude shown here.
