LOS ANGELES — The Dutchess is a bride. Her manager says Fergie and Josh Duhamel have been married.

Manager William Derella said by e-mail that the 33-year-old "Fergalicious" singer-actress, whose real name is Stacy Ferguson, and the 36-year-old "Transformers" actor were married Saturday at the Church Estates Vineyards in Malibu.

The pair had been dating since 2004 and were engaged in 2007.

The Black Eyed Peas singer launched her solo career in 2006 with the hit album "The Dutchess" — the title is a misspelled variation of the title formerly held by Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson, the Duchess of York.

STRATOCASTER'S BOOSTER DIES

SANTA ANA, Calif. — Don Randall, the marketing dynamo who gave Fender's Stratocaster guitar its name and led the brand to onstage ubiquity, has died. He was 91.

Randall died of age-related causes Dec. 23 at his home in Santa Ana, his son, Tim, told the Los Angeles Times.

Randall's marketing savvy elevated electric guitar designer Leo Fender's instruments, played by such musicians as Ritchie Valens, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, into a hugely successful franchise during the brand's first two decades.

Tom Wheeler, a former editor of Guitar Player magazine, said Randall changed the way the public viewed guitars and playing music, adding: "It's highly unlikely that Fender could have achieved anywhere near as worldwide success without Don Randall."

Randall named Fender's first commercially available guitar the Broadcaster in 1950, then renamed it the Telecaster following a trademark dispute with another company. In 1954, he tapped into his background as an aviation enthusiast and pilot to dub Fender's newest guitar the Stratocaster.

Randall negotiated the 1965 sale of Fender's firm to CBS for $13 million.

ACTOR ARRESTED IN PARIS STABBING

PARIS — French actor Samy Naceri, who starred in the World War II film "Days of Glory," was jailed yesterday after being charged with stabbing his ex-girlfriend's companion in a confrontation on a Paris street, judicial officials said.

Naceri, 47, was charged with armed voluntary violence. He was also charged with making repeated death threats, the actor's lawyer said.

Naceri has had frequent run-ins with the law. He was most recently convicted in November and given a six-month prison term for striking a police officer with his car as he drove without a license. He is appealing that case.

GRAN TORINO HAS GRAND OPENING

NEW YORK — Make my weekend. Clint Eastwood has had the best movie opening of his long and esteemed career.

His "Gran Torino" revved up the winter box office with $29 million in ticket sales in its first weekend of wide release, according to studio estimates yesterday.

It's Eastwood's best opening ever, topping the $18 million his "Space Cowboys" made in 2000. "Gran Torino," which Eastwood also directed, was previously in limited release for four weeks.

Eastwood stole the box-office bouquet from Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. Their wedding comedy, "Bride Wars," came in second with $21.5 million. The horror film "The Unborn" followed, with $21.1 million in its debut.
