South Floridian Davy Jones, as in Hey Hey We’re The Monkees, secretly got married Aug. 30 in Miami, according to an anonymous source interviewed by London’s Daily Express.

No marriage license under the singer’s name was entered into state records as of today, but that could take up to a month.

The lucky bride of the 63-year-old former teen idol frontman of The Monkees is a lowly Telemundo soap actress half his age, Jessica Pacheco.

The singer and flamenco dancer is 31, younger than two of Jones’ four adult daughters. His eldest is 40.

The shapely Latina, who starred last year opposite Miami singer/actor and Entertainment Tonight host Carlos Ponce in the soap Dame Chocolate, was married once before, according to Miami-Dade records. Jones was hitched twice before.

According to the Express, none of the other three members of the popular ’60s band, famous for Daydream Believer and I’m a Believer, showed up at the wedding, which took place in the home of Pacheco’s parents. Also MIA were Jones’ children and grandchildren. The daughters are said to be ticked off by his decision to get hitched, again.

Jones, according to Broward County records, bought a $300,000 Hollywood (Fla.) condo shortly after he met Pacheco in 2007, when the two were in a play for local British expats. He moved from his Indiantown ranch in Martin County.

A friend of the singer told the newspaper about the lovebirds: “They have had a tempestuous relationship. They have often broken up in their relatively short courtship. They had gotten back together again when Davy announced that they were going to get married.

“His daughters didn’t seem to warm to her, but Davy seems to be smitten.”

Davy first found fame as the only British member on the American pop group formed in 1966 for a TV series. The other band members were Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork.

Matt Damon’s day of reckoning has yet to come, despite this phony Internet posting that the Oscar-winning star of Bourne Identity and Ocean’s Eleven had died during a solo camping trip. The report, falsely attributed to TMZ and mindlessly parroted all over the web, claimed Miami Beach’s Damon had text-messaged friends that he was in trouble in the desert outside San Diego. This much is true: Damon was lost all right. In the wonders of the Venice Film Festival. He even stopped in New York on his way home to chat with David Letterman Thursday.

– If the cover on the new album by Miami’s Shakira, She Wolf, isn’t enough to make most dudes howl at the moon, then I don’t know what it. The sultry Colombian’s newest, with fellow South Floridian Wyclef Jean, comes out next month.

Lambiet’s Lunch: Theresa LePore’s brother nabbed; S.C. First Lady moves out

Joe LePore

Joe LePore

– The man arrested in a mysterious attack on a cabbie in West Palm Beach earlier this week has been identified as Joe LePore, brother of former Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore. Joe Lepore, 52, an electrician, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief after West Palm Beach police arrested him Wednesday morning. A taxi driver was trying to turn around in LePore’s driveway on Avenida Allegre when LePore allegedly hit the cab, causing damages. When a cop arrived, LePore allegedly pulled a gun and threatened both the cabbie and officer. “I felt threatened,” LePore told Page2Live. “I had my 357 in my pocket but I didn’t take it out.” He was released from the county lockup late Thursday after paying his $3,000-bond. In 2004, according to Palm Beach County court records, LePore pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. A judge withheld adjudication. “He has anger management issues,” said sister Theresa. “The cab driver was sitting in his driveway blowing the horn, and he is very protective of his property.” Theresa’s name became intertwined with the disastrous administrations of George W. Bush when, in 2000, her office printed ballots so confusing that some Al Gore supporters voted for the wrong candidate, ultimately, Bush’s election by a hair.  (With The Palm Beach Post’s Eliot Kleinberg)

Jenny

Jenny

Jenny Sanford, first lady of South Carolina and a member of a prominent Martin County family, moved out of the governor’s mansion in Columbia today. Sanford is the long suffering wife of Gov. Mark Sanford, who made international news in June after he disappeared to Argentina to tango with a mistress. The Sanfords eventually ended up pow-wowing about it at her dad John Sullivan’s home in Hobe Sound. Mark and Jenny just returned from a vacation in Europe. But AP reporters saw Jenny and several women move boxes out of the mansion Thursday. Jenny says she can be found in the couple’s vacation home, 125 miles away from Columbia.

– Another athlete’s selling SoFla real estate. Livan “I lo’ you, Miami” Hernandez, the 1997 star pitcher for the World Series winning Florida Marlins, is selling his Miami Beach condo. He’s willing to lose a few bucks. According to South Florida Blockshopper, the beachfronter is on the market for $945,000, nearly $40,000 less than what the current New York Met bought it for last year. The listing agent is a former star of Donald Trump’s The Apprentice, Katrina Campins.

Bower

Bower

She isn’t shy, but doesn’t particularly like attention.

What, then, will Boca Raton’s Julie Bower be doing on the tube for the next 10 weeks, starting at 9 tonight?

Bower, 48, a divorced mother of three, is one of reality TV’s new stars.

Broward Sheriff’s Detective Bower, and three of her colleagues, are starring in Policewomen of Broward County.

The show, on cable’s TLC, follows the ladies to work and in their home lives.

It’s Charlie’s Angels meets Real Housewives. Except that these ladies are tough-talking Florida broads whose common trait is that they take no flack from anyone.

Not fellow deputies.

Not the perps.

Not the kids.

Even less, their husbands.

So, Julie, nervous before tonight’s big premiere? Ready to expose yourself to the world?

“I don’t get nervous,” says Bower, who juggles a home life with two children and nabbing sex offenders. In the premiere, she poses as a streetwalker to ensnare Johns. “The producers did an awesome job putting it all together. When they’re filming, you never know how it’s going to look. I saw the first one, and it looks great.”

Bower and co-stars Shelunda Cooper and Andrea Penoyer (above) are scheduled to meet at Yolo, on Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas, to watch the premiere. The fourth deputy, Ana Murillo, is working the streets until midnight and may not be able to see it.

– This 1980 picture of Joe Cool Prez Barack Obama puffing away is being used for a poster announcing next month’s annual conference of the  National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws in San Fransisco. Obama was a student at Occidental College when the picture was taken by classmate Lisa Jack, The Washington Post reports. The original shot obviously shows Obama smoking a regular cigarette, but the folks at NORML admit to having slightly altered it. The poster will include psychedelic designs and the words “Yes, We Cannabis.” Jack, now a college professor, told the paper she ain’t happy about it. ”They do not have my permission,” she said.

– Former SoFla resident O.J. Simpson is trying to get out of his Nevada prison while his robbery conviction is appealed. But, his longtime Miami girlfriend, Christie Prody, would rather not see him before his sentence is up, in 32 years. Prody, a dead ringer for Simpson’s murdered wife, used to duke it out with Simpson at his Kendall home, at times alerting the local fuzz.  ”Christie would not want to see him released because she is concerned that he might try to see her,” Prody’s attorney, publicity hound Gloria Allred, tells RadarOnline.  “She is concerned that he is dangerous and she fears for her safety.”

Ay, mamita! Chances are Jennifer Lopez won’t be looking this caliente when she takes place in the Miami Dolphins owners’ box with hubby Marc Anthony this NFL season. But while on vacation in Italy, US Weekly reports, the singer/actress has locals drooling when she appears in her red bikini. Believe it or not, the part-time SoFla resident just turned 40, and dropped 50 pounds after giving birth to twins.

Padre Alberto Cutie: The wedding pictures

cutie3Miami padre Alberto Cutie sure has a heck of a lot more marketing sense than the Catholic Church he once represented.

Check this out.

He turned what could have been a disaster into a picture-perfect media event.

Cutie sparked a firestorm earlier this year when, as a Catholic priest who had become the face of the church down south, he was photographed frolicking on a beach with a woman, Ruhama Canellis.

Since then, Cutie joined the Episcopal Church and married Canellis before 60 friends and family members — and People en Espanol’s shutterbugs.

The pix are in the current issue of the glossy, under the headline: Padre Alberto and Ruhama’s confession; The truth about the scandal!

The magazine even slipped in cool pictures from the couple’s honeymoon in Greece.

Cutie, 40, called the affair, at St. Bernard church in North Miami Beach, “my dream wedding.”

“I felt at peace,” he told the magazine. “I didn’t feel nervous.

Salsa star Marc Anthony to hook Miami Dolphins?

Update: Marc Anthony was introduced as the Miami Dolphins newest minority owner in New York this morning. In addition to his plunking down his and JLo’s hard-earned cash, he gets to sing the national anthem at the Oct. 12 Monday night home game.

We knew that Palm Beacher Stephen Ross, the new owner of the Miami Dolphins, has some sort of obsession with celebrities, but it’s getting ridiculous.

Word is that Ross, one of the country’s largest land developers, is trying to sell a piece of the football franchise to Miami Beach salsero Marc Anthony.

Whether Ross succeeded is unclear. Sources are playing it close to the vest. But Ross is wheeling out Anthony for a press conference in New York City Tuesday. There’s supposed to be a “major” announcement.

How major? Major enough to have NFL commish Roger Goodell sitting in.

Supermodel Cindy Taylor: I’m half-and-half!

For supermodel Cindy Taylor, Brooke Burke’s on E!’s travel series Wild On and host of a new Fox reality show, her opening a Swim Week fashion show Thursday night at the W South Beach in Miami Beach had something of a therapeutic value.

Earlier this year, the 32-year-old’s family was struck by tragedy. Her mother, who lived in Paraguay, died of Lou Gehrig’s Disease. It’s a usually fatal nerve and muscle illness that also leads to partial paralysis. Cindy Taylor took it hard, and was photographed crying on a Los Angeles street earlier this year.

“It’s a terrible, terrible disease,” she told Page2Live in an exclusive interview near the Inca Design runway set up on the hotel’s pool. “It was hard because I lived in Los Angeles and flying to be with her would take 25 hours.”

The experience also gave cover girl Taylor, who’s routinely in diverse magazines’ Hottest Women lists, a renewed sense of family. Her dad lives in West Virginia.

“I’m not always able to open myself up to people,” she said, “but I think it’s beautiful when people can open themselves up to others, especially during hard times.”

Taylor recently returned to Miami Beach for several months, to tape the reality fare Work of Genius. As host, she tries to keep the peace among 12 international painters who compete for a $100,000 prize. It’s being filmed at the Eden Roc Resort and it’s supposed to air in October on Fox affiliates.

“I lived here for five years before,” Taylor says. “I loved the weather, food and culture. It’s great to be back to a place that I consider my second home, after Paraguay. It’s where the two worlds meet, Latin America and America. Like me. I’m half-and-half.”
