British comedian Russell Brand and American pop singer Katy Perry were married Saturday in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony at a luxury resort in a tiger reserve in northwestern India, an official said.

A Hindu priest conducted the ceremony, which was attended by family and close friends of the couple, a hotel official said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Security has been stringent with private security guards stationed at the resort and other nearby hotels where guests and the couple are staying for the six-day wedding celebration.

Photographers and media reporters were not allowed into the Aman-e-Khas wildlife retreat. The couple have given the exclusive coverage rights to a London magazine, and no other photographers or journalists will be allowed into the resort.

The wedding venue was lit with lamps, colorful lights illuminated the trees and flower garlands festooned the luxury tents at the resort.

Both Brand and Perry wore traditional Indian clothes to the wedding. Perry donned a sari, as did a number of other female guests at the ceremony. On Friday, at a prenuptial celebration, Perry, like a typical Indian bride, had henna designs applied on her palms and hands.

Meanwhile, a four-member committee had been set up to check noise pollution from the wedding celebration and ensure that animals in the wildlife reserve in India's Rajasthan state are not disturbed, said Ravi Kumar, a district official.

The Ranthambhore National Park, where the resort is located, is home to a host of wildlife species including tigers, leopards, wild boars, hyenas and sloth bears.

Press Trust of India news agency said 21 camels, elephants and horses formed part of Brand's wedding procession from Sher Bagh, another nearby luxury resort, to the Aman-e-Khas. The procession was accompanied by traditional Indian dancers and musicians.

Brand proposed to Perry in the historic Indian city of Jaipur over New Year's Eve, and the couple decided to get married in India.

The 26-year-old Perry's second album, "Teenage Dream," was one of this year's best-sellers.

Brand, 35, is known for his drug-addled past and hedonistic tendencies. He is next set to star as Trinculo in "The Tempest" and the title character in a remake of "Arthur."

Paranormal Activity 2

Fans, Critics Call 'Paranormal Activity' Scarier Than the First

by: Michael Krumboltz

'Paranormal Activity 2' Paramount Pictures "Paranormal Activity 2" hits theaters this weekend, and we can't help but compare it to another highly anticipated horror sequel: "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2".

Both franchises started with small-budget horror flicks that made a ton of money, thanks to creative marketing and genuinely scary stories. But while "Blair Witch 2" was so bad that it effectively killed the franchise (despite a much bigger budget), the reviews for "Paranormal Activity 2" are almost across-the-board positive.

Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gives "PA2" a "B+" and writes that the film made him "jump, sweat, and chew (his) fingernails." If this were a romantic comedy, that would be bad. Fortunately, this flick, in which a demon haunts a family, is anything but funny.

Claudia Puig of USA Today gives "PA2" three out of four stars and writes that the sequel "has more innocent victims and more scares than its predecessor." The movie, she writes, delivers plenty of "spine-tingling jolts and scream-inducing moments."

A critic from CNN writes that there was at least one moment when "the entire theater jumped 3 inches into the air." According to MTV, fans who were treated to an early screening of the film called it "ten times scarier than the first one."

By the way, the first film cost around $15,000 to produce. The sequel? Around $3 million, according to Studio Briefing. It's worth noting that $3 million is still a tiny budget by Hollywood standards.

But there are doubters. Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun-Times gives the film just one and a half stars out of four, and cites the dialogue as a particularly weak point. "There are six speaking roles, not counting the non-speaking baby and the dog. Good odds, you'd think, that at least one of them would have something interesting to say, but no."

The AP was similarly unimpressed. The sequel is "better made and not quite as paper thin as the original, but by replicating the bare-bones B-film, the sequel sacrifices any chance for distinction." In other words, if you saw the original, you've seen the sequel.

But Ebert and a few others aside, most critics dig it. Fans of the original should walk into the sequel knowing the filmmakers didn't pull a "Blair Witch." For that, we're all grateful.
