Thomas Mars, frontman of Phoenix, has married Sofia Coppola at a private ceremony at Plazzo Margherita, a villa in Bernalda, Italy owned by the Coppola family.

The pair have two children together, Romy, 5, and Cosima, 1 and first met when Coppola was working on the soundtrack to her 1999 film The Virgin Suicides.

Coppola was previously married to fellow director Spike Jonze, but they divorced in 2003. Jonze went on to have a relationship with Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Coppola was walked down the aisle and given away by her father Francis Ford Coppola, who directed The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. It’s rumoured that Coppola’s cousins, the actors Nicolas Cage and Jason Schwartzman were in attendance at the ceremony, alongside Johnny Depp and Star Wars head honcho George Lucas, reports People.

Coppola wore a lavender coloured dress for the ceremony, which was officiated by the mayor of Bernalda, Leonardo Chiruzzi.

Arctic Monkeys are taking a break from the recording studio until 2013.

The Sheffield band have revealed that they won’t be writing on the road and will be skipping out on recording next year too, reports The Sun.

Frontman Alex Turner said:

I don't really write on the road any more. We come up with a few ideas on soundchecks and that but I have written too many terrible lyrics touring around. As yet there is no plan to return to the studio next year, we're keeping our heads down.

He added:

It's hard to do the old chip shop rock'n'roll. After you've done it once, you don't sort of hang around that many chippies any more. I think it's natural, I couldn't ever write about my surroundings in the same way as I did back then.

Yesterday Arctic Monkeys posted an online trailer from their two headline shows at Sheffield's Don Valley Bowl, suggesting that they may be putting together a DVD from their performances.

The 93 second clip, called Don Valley Bowl Trailer, features footage from the band playing live at the June gigs, hanging out backstage and general crowd shots, suggesting that it may be being compiled into a general DVD package. The trailer however is not accompanied by any release details. To see it, scroll down.

The band headlined last weekend's V Festival and are currently preparing for their full UK arena tour, which will start in October.

Check out the trailer for their possible dvd below!

well that was quick....!

Liam Gallagher has dropped his planned lawsuit against brother Noel after he apologized over his comments about the band's cancellation of their headline set at V Festival in 2009.

It was reported on Friday (August 20) that the Beady Eye frontman had filed a lawsuit against his brother after his comments that he pulled out of V Festival due to a hangover, however after Noel apologised in an online webchat for his statement, he has now dropped the action.

A source told The Sun:

Liam had spoken to his mum Peggy and she was upset by the whole episode. That was playing on his mind then he had a moment of realisation that Noel wasn't being vindictive - he was just being cheeky. It was an anger that had built up over two years because he was so angry Oasis was over.

It continues:

In the cold light of day he realised his brother was actually being quite calm about it all, and decided a legal battle was a bad idea. Hopefully that will draw a line under it all and everyone can move on.

Liam's decision comes after Noel issued an apology during an online webchat with fans. He said of his comments:

Unfortunately there is truth in it. But you know, for the record it is a fact that he was diagnosed with laryngitis and it is a fact that he had a doctor's note to prove it. But I'd just like to say though, if he gets offended by my opinions on such things then you know I apologise but it's all getting very silly and a little bit out of hand and it’s not very cool.

Noel Gallagher has said that he believes his ongoing spat with brother Liam is "getting very silly."

During an online webchat with fans, which you can watch by clicking above, Gallagher spoke about the news that his brother was suing him over comments he made about the band's cancelled performance at V Festival in 2009 and said he apologized to his brother if he felt "offended", but that he believed things were getting out of hand.

Asked whether there was any truth to the story of a lawsuit, he replied:

Unfortunately there is truth in it. But you know, for the record it is a fact that he was diagnosed with laryngitis and it is a fact that he had a doctor's note to prove it.

He continued:

But I'd just like to say though, if he gets offended by my opinions on such things then you know I apologise but it's all getting very silly and a little bit out of hand and it’s not very cool. But there you go.
