James popped the question during a romantic holiday in Lake Como in August, presenting his wife-to-be with an incredible five-carat Asscher cut diamond ring.

The couple"s choice of wedding location couldn"t have been more fitting for their fairy-tale day. Located within Kensington Gardens, The Orangery is licensed for civil weddings and allows for receptions on its terrace. It is also located next door to Prince William and Kate Middleton"s apartment

Paris Hilton feels her sister Nicky Hilton and her new husband James ...

Paris Hilton feels her sister Nicky Hilton and her new husband James Rothschild will be together forever because they make the perfect couple. Theyre just perfect for each other. Theyre best friends, Paris told People Magazine before the wedding.

In a recent Inquisitr article Paris Nickys elder sister strongly believes this relationship is a match made in heaven. Theyre the ultimate couple. Theyre like a prince and princess, sighed Hilton romantically of her little sister.

According to financialexpress, Nicholai Olivia Hilton and James Amschel Victor Rothschild were married Friday on the grounds of Kensington Palace in London. The ceremony took place at the Orangery, a structure originally built in 1704 for Queen Anne as a greenhouse in the style of a palace to protect citrus trees from harsh winters

Nicky is a designer of handbags, accessories and apparel. Her book, 365 Style, was published last year and offers readers advice on how to create their own personal style. She has also been a guest judge on Project Runway, the reality television show. Her first marriage was annulled.

Nicky Hilton is a daughter of Kathy and Richard Hilton of Los Angeles and the younger sister of Paris Hilton, who was her maid of honor. The brides father is the chairman of Hilton & Hyland, a Beverly Hills real estate brokerage firm. Her mother is an actress, fashion designer and philanthropist.

Nickys great-grandfather Conrad Hilton was the founder of Hilton Hotels.

James Rothschild, 30, is a partner and a vice president of the Monument Capital Group. He works in the firms Washington and London offices, specifically with its investment, advisory and portfolio management teams.

The groom, a descendant of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, who established the family banking business in the 1760s, began his career at the familys London bank, N.M. Rothschild & Sons.

He is the son of Anita Guinness Wigan and the late Amschel Mayor James Rothschild, and is the stepson of James Wigan. The grooms father was the executive chairman of Rothschild Asset Management, a director of N.M. Rothschild & Sons and an apple farmer.

The bridal couple met in 2011 at the wedding of Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt in Rome. Dating regularly after that event, Ms. Hilton and Mr. Rothschild have led low-key yet busy working lives in the United States and England.

Last year, the usually private Ms. Hilton told The London Daily Mail that Mr. Rothschild is the love of my life.

It was while the couple were vacationing in Europe in August 2014 that Mr. Rothschild proposed. According to reports, during a romantic boat ride in Lake Como, Italy, the old-school bachelor got down on his knee and proposed with a large diamond Asscher cut engagement ring after secretly flying to Los Angeles to ask Ms. Hiltons parents for permission to wed. People.com recently reported that Ms. Hiltons sister said of the couple, They are so loyal, and theyre so in love. Theyre the ultimate couple. Theyre like a prince and princess.

UPDATED: Suicide Squad trailer premieres at Comic-Con, complete with Jared ...

Fans of Squads and the suicidal people who join them got a treat at todays Warner Bros. Comic-Con panel, with the studio releasing the first official trailer for its Suicide Squad movie. Sadly, the trailer hasnt made its way online yet, but it apparently gave fans a look at most of the members of the teamincluding the first live-action glimpse of Jared Letos Joker. (The entire video was apparently set to a creepified version of The Bee Gees I Started A Joke, to give you an idea of how much emphasis was put on the role.)

Speaking of Leto, he was the only member of the movies cast who wasnt in attendance at the panel, with director David Ayers parading Margot Robbie, Will Smith, and the rest of the Squad out to wave at the cheering crowd. (Robbies Harley Quinn was apparently another focus of the trailer, appearing in a Hannibal Lecter-esque cage and speaking with Viola Davis Amanda Waller.)

Once the video makes its way to the internet, well be sure to pass it along, but for now, we can all go back to imagining all the cool things that must have happened. Deadshot shooting people! Amanda Waller glaring at people! Captain Boomerang, throwing stuff, imbued with a cocky confidence inspired by its inevitable return! And if your imagination buckles under all the possibilities, feel free to take another look at that fake trailer the Nerdist put together to help it back onto its feet.

UPDATE: A version of the Suicide Squad trailer clearly filmed on a cell phone by a fan in the audience at Comic-Con has leaked online, and is being hosted over at Movieweb. the visuals are obviously not very good, but the dialogue is audible, and we do get a good look at the Joker at the end. Well keep you updated when the official version comes online.

Kate Steinle"s killer used federal agent"s gun

Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez is arraigned in San Francisco on July 7, 2015.

Investigators say the killer of Kate Steinle the 32-year-old woman who was walking on a San Francisco pier with her father when an illegal immigrant allegedly shot her in broad daylight used a gun that belonged to a federal agent.

Fox News reported the gun had been stolen from a law enforcement officer in June.

It may mean that somebody else is going to be on the hook, and soon, said CNNs legal analyst Danny Cevallos.

Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an illegal immigrant with a felony record who had been deported to Mexico five times and who told police he was in San Francisco because it was a sanctuary city and he knew he wouldnt be deported confessed to killing Steinle, various media reported.

He also said he found the gun wrapped in a T-shirt on the ground, CNN reported.

So I picked it up and it started to fire on its own, Sanchez said, adding that he heard three shots go off.

Sanchez pleaded not guilty during a Tuesday court hearing to murder and weapons charges. The court set his bail at $5 million.

Lopez-Sanchez, who has served more than 17 years in prison for entering the country illegally and has four felony drug convictions, was set free from jail in April despite a federal request to detain him, according to the New York Daily News.

The citys sanctuary ordinance does not prohibit local law enforcement from informing ICE that theyve arrested someone in the country illegally for a felony offense or who has prior felony convictions.

Most of the blame should fall squarely on the shoulders of the San Francisco sheriff, because his department had custody of him and made the choice to let him go without notifying ICE, said Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, which wants tougher immigration enforcement, reported the Associated Press.

Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Virginia Republican who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, blamed sanctuary practices and the Obama administration, saying: The tragic murder of Kate Steinle once again underscores the need to end these reckless policies.

Hillary Clinton, the early Democrat front-runner in the presidential race, said San Francisco should have listened to federal agents.

The city made a mistake, not to deport someone that the federal government strongly felt should be deported, Clinton said. So I have absolutely no support for a city that ignores the strong evidence that should be acted on.

Donald Trump, whos running for president in 2016, has been speaking about the problems of illegal immigration since he announced his campaign to the fury of Mexico, the mainstream media and several businesses that have severed ties with him, as reported by WND. Still, Trump stands by his initial comments about Mexico sending criminals across the border into America.

Another illegal immigrant, Manuel Perez-Vasquez, 29, was just arrested for a car wreck that injured children in which he was allegedly found to have been under the influence of marijuana, as reported by WND. Authorities said Vasquez had been deported from America on six prior occasions.

Meanwhile, Fox News reported a total of 30,558 convicted criminal aliens, including those found guilty of homicide and rape, have been released by federal authorities.

New Harper Lee novel makes Atticus Finch a racist?

NEW YORK --

Harper Lee"s unexpected new novel offers an unexpected and startling take on an American literary saint, Atticus Finch.

"Go Set a Watchman" is set in the 1950s, 20 years after Lee"s celebrated "To Kill a Mockingbird," and finds Atticus hostile to the growing civil rights movement. In one particularly dramatic encounter with his now-adult daughter, Scout, the upright Alabama lawyer who famously defended a black man in "Mockingbird" condemns the NAACP as opportunists and troublemakers and labels blacks as too "backward" to "share fully in the responsibilities of citizenship."

"Would you want your state governments run by people who don"t know how to run "em"? argues the man portrayed by Oscar-winner Gregory Peck in the 1962 film adaptation of "Mockingbird."

"They"ve made terrific progress in adapting themselves to white ways, but they"re far from it yet."

"Watchman" was written before "Mockingbird" and is only Lee"s second book, one that Lee"s attorney, Tonja Carter, has said she stumbled upon last year. It will be published Tuesday. The Associated Press purchased an early copy.

Publisher HarperCollins, anticipating concerns that Atticus" harsh talk will disillusion millions of fans, issued a statement late Friday saying, "The question of Atticus"s racism is one of the most important and critical elements in this novel, and it should be considered in the context of the book"s broader moral themes."

""Go Set a Watchman" explores racism and changing attitudes in the South during the 1950s in a bold and unflinching way," the statement reads. "At its heart, it is the coming-of-age story of a young woman who struggles to reconcile the saintly figure of her beloved father with her own more enlightened views. In "Go Set a Watchman," Scout takes center stage as we witness her anger toward and stand against prejudice and social injustice."

Rarely has news of a novel been so celebrated and so dreaded since HarperCollins shocked the world in February by announcing that a second Harper Lee novel was coming, an event her fans had long given up on and Lee had often said wouldn"t happen.

HarperCollins has reported that pre-orders for "Watchman" are the highest in company history, and Amazon.com has announced that the novel"s pre-orders are the strongest since the last "Harry Potter" story, which came out in 2007.

But questions have been raised all along about the quality of the book, completed when Lee was a young and unpublished writer and received coolly by publishers, and whether the 89-year-old Lee was fully aware of the planned release.

Alabama officials, responding to at least one complaint of possible elder abuse, even visited with Lee at her nursing home in Monroeville and concluded she was indeed capable of making decisions about the book.

The portrait of Atticus, a supposed liberal revealing crude prejudices, will likely re-energize an old debate about "Mockingbird," which has long been admired more by whites than by blacks. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1961, and widely praised as a sensitive portrait of racial tension as seen through the eyes of a child in 1930s Alabama, it also has been criticized as sentimental and paternalistic.

In an interview with The Associated Press earlier this year, Nobel laureate Toni Morrison called it a "white savior" narrative, "one of those" that reduced blacks to onlookers in their own struggles for equal rights.
