LOS ANGELES — Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have tied the knot.

The 29-year-old Los Angeles Lakers forward and the 25-year-old reality TV starlet were married Sunday at a private home in Beverly Hills, according to People, US Weekly and other entertainment news outlets.

The bride was walked down the aisle by her stepfather, Bruce Jenner. The wedding was attended by several stars, including the bride's sister Kim.

"Tonight was one of the best nights of my life! Khloe & Lamar's wedding was a night to remember!" Kim wrote on Twitter.

Kardashian appears with her family on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Odom agreed to a four-year contract to stay with the Lakers during the summer after helping the team win the NBA championship.

The book now has a title, fitting for a public figure known for the unexpected — "Going Rogue: An American Life."

Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins, has commissioned a huge first printing of 1.5 million copies. Sen. Ted Kennedy's "True Compass," published by Twelve soon after his Aug. 25 death, also had a 1.5 million first printing.

LUCY, OF BEATLES' TUNE FAME, DIES AT 46

LONDON — The real-life Lucy from the Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" has died after a long fight against lupus.

The death of Lucy Vodden at age 46 was announced by St. Thomas' Hospital in London, where she was treated. The hospital said yesterday she died after battling the disease for years.

Vodden came to the attention of John Lennon when the Beatles' young son Julian came home from school one day with a drawing that he said was "Lucy in the sky with diamonds."

The elder Lennon turned it into a psychedelic masterpiece long associated with LSD use.

'DANCING' GETS ASSIST FROM DOWN UNDER

LOS ANGELES — The man who made "Moulin Rouge" is lending his expertise to "Dancing With the Stars."

Baz Luhrmann served as a guest judge on the hit ABC dance show yesterday and today as head judge Len Goodman takes a week off.

In 1992, the 47-year-old Australian filmmaker wrote and directed "Strictly Ballroom," which launched his film career.

"Dancing" host Tom Bergeron says that movie "was a major inspiration in the creation of this little show."
