Pop star Michael
Jackson was best man on Wednesday as Uri Geller and his wife Hanna
renewed their wedding vows in a traditional service held at Uri's mansion
in Berkshire. The 140 guests, who had to wait two hours for Jackson to
arrive as a doctor took another look at his recently broken foot, included
Sir David Frost, David Blaine, Bee Gee Barry Gibb and Eurythmics star Dave
Stewart. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach conducted the blessing - a renewal of vows
between Uri and Hanna, who actually married 10 years ago.

Secrets
of the Street Magician Revealed is out on video in the UK. I think
that this is the show that was aired on satellite TV a few months ago over
