Celebrity Wedding Trump

Breaking up with someone is one thing but then seeing them marry someone else within months, if not weeks, is sure to smart the newly single. What better way to get them back, then, than by going out and sealing your own wedded bliss after a ridiculously short courtship?

That's just what White Stripes frontman Jack White has done. Not to be outshone by former girlfriend Renee Zellwegger and her beach wedding to country singer Kenny 'The Hat' Chesney, Jack trumped his bony-arsed ex by marrying ginger model Karen Elson up the Amazon. And no, that isn't a euphemism.

Renee clearly cornered the exotic, seaside ceremony, so Jack upped the ante by holding his own ceremony in a canoe on the Amazon in Brazil. And, he got a Shaman priest to do the honours. The happy couple did bow to convention (and no doubt parental pressure) by having a Catholic blessing as well.

Karen appears in The White Stripes' new video Blue Orchid and has been going out with Jack for all of five weeks.

We just have to wait and see which marriage implodes first. My money's on Renee.
