Cut-price Pippa Middleton dress

LONDON — A copy of Pippa Middleton's bridesmaid dress at her sister Kate's wedding to Prince William is to go on sale in Britain, at about a 100th of the cost of the original, a store said Thursday.Middleton, 27, almost stole the show on her elder sister's big day in April, wowing a global television audience of some two billion viewers as she arrived at Westminster Abbey in a figure-hugging white Alexander McQueen dress.
Her stunning appearance sparked an Internet frenzy, with the Facebook group "Pippa Middleton Ass Appreciation .Society" attracting almost a quarter of a million fans.Now Britons seeking to add a bit of royal wedding sparkle to their lives are in luck -- department store Debenhams has announced that from September it will be selling a cut-price gown inspired by Middleton's dress.

"Both men and women everywhere were instantly talking about Pippa, so naturally brides-to-be will want to emulate her classic look -- both for themselves or their bridesmaids," said Alain Mehada, chief personal shopper at Debenhams branch on London's Oxford Street.The original reportedly cost around £20,000 but the replica will retail for just £170, said Debenhams, which has branches across Britain.

The store said it has been inundated with requests for dresses modelled on those at the royal wedding, with demand for Middleton's gown even outstripping interest in the dress worn by her sister, now known as Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.Debenhams also plans to sell a replica of the emerald green evening gown worn by Pippa Middleton at the evening party for £99, and a flower girl dress which will retail at between £48 and £52. Both will go on sale later this year.

Vanessa Minnillo married Nick Lachey in a dream wedding on Necker Island on July 15, and now that the couple are husband and wife, Vanessa doesn't want the wedding wisdom she gathered during the planning process to go to waste!

The 30-year-old "Wipeout" host -- whose island ceremony was showcased in a TLC reality special, "Nick & Vanessa's Dream Wedding" on Saturday - took to Twitter to share her top 10 tips for planning the big day.
Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo split in June, but beginning in late August, sightings began cropping up of them together at nightclubs across the country – and in some instances they were engaged in some heavy PDA.
At the time, sources told PEOPLE that Lachey, 35, and Minnillo, 25, were merely "hanging out" and they were not officially back together.
Well, things have changed. "I am happy in a relationship," Lachey told Good Day Philadelphia on Thursday. "I was single for a minute, there, and then we've kind of patched things up." Lachey also described Minnillo as "a very smart girl. She's far smarter than I!"
A source tells PEOPLE that the relationship remains a work in progress. "They've always had a lot of love for each other, but they took a little break, and now they're working on their relationship," says the source.
Lachey is currently touring the country in a bus for reverse auction site Winnit.com, which he co-founded as part of its "Everybody Wins Tour," benefiting Feeding America. Minnillo has yet to join him on the road, as she works on her own projects.
