<p>Here&#8217;s a delicious juxtaposition you don&#8217;t get often: Various reports indicate that reality show empress Kim Kardashian&#8217;s upcoming wedding to New Jersey Nets basketball player Kris Humphries will be held at the Montecito estate of Google&#8217;s Executive Chairman and former CEO Eric Schmidt.</p>
<p>And, according to another report, if not there, then at a house owned by one of Silicon Valley&#8217;s most famous VC legends.</p>
<p>Schmidt won&#8217;t be a guest at what is sure to be a heavily chronicled event &#8212; which the <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/kim_wedding_cake_dresses_and_guests_Qs2KbLK2UULcL07EpP3AVP">New York Post said</a> will have a $20,000 cake, three dresses and 500 guests.</p>
<p>You know, <em>simple</em> nuptials. </p>
<p>Instead, it appears Schmidt rents out the lush house, which he bought from talk show host Ellen DeGeneres in 2007 for $20 million.</p>
<p>Fun fact: It is the same spot where Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck &#8212; or Bennifer, as I like to call them &#8212; were set to be hitched in 2003, before they called off their engagement.</p>
<p>According to blog site <a href="http://realestalker.blogspot.com/2011/08/kim-kardashian-to-wed-at-ellen.html">The Real Estalker</a>, who also wrote about the possible rental:</p>
<blockquote class="memo"><p>The privately situated and heavily secured luxury compound&#8217;s architectural heart and soul is a 5,000-plus square foot main house with 4 bedrooms and 4 full and 2 half bathrooms designed by beloved Santa Barbara architect George Washington Smith. Staff and/or guests can be comfortably accommodated in a detached 1-bedroom guest house with kitchen and an additional studio space tucked into a quiet corner provides private respite from family members and all the full-time staff people required to maintain an estate of this magnitude.</p>
<p>At the time Mister Schmidt snatched up the property, the extensively and meticulously landscaped grounds included a long winding drive, massive motor court, championship grade tennis court, extra-long swimming pool with raised spa area, wide terraces, broad lawns, and a stunning allée with colorful tiled fountain that screams out for a highly stylized celebrity wedding designed &#8212; we presume &#8212; by an efficient, innovative and extremely well-paid event planner.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>[UPDATE:]</strong> Later, The Real Estalker <a href="http://realestalker.blogspot.com/2011/08/update-kim-kardashian-wedding-venue.html">changed its report</a> and said the wedding might not be held at Schmidt&#8217;s place, but at another over-the-top estate owned by Silicon Valley venture legend Frank Caufield, one of the founders of Kleiner Perkins Caufield &#038; Byers. </p>
<p>I have a call in to the Kardashians, who are usually so shy with the press, so I will update as soon as I hear or a camera crew arrives at my house.</p>
<p>Until the I-dos are done, below are some pretty pix of Schmidt&#8217;s fancy spread from back in 2006:</p>
<p><a href="http://allthingsd.com/20110817/she-does-kim-kardashian-to-wed-at-eric-schmidts-socal-estate/kkardashian_nups_mont/" rel="attachment wp-att-111259"><img src="http://allthingsd.com/files/2011/08/KKardashian_Nups_Mont-306x480.png" alt="" title="KKardashian_Nups_Mont" width="306" height="480" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-111259" /></a></p>
<p>A Google spokesman had no comment, <em>obviously</em>.</p>

Major bummer.

<p>Let&#8217;s get this out of the way: BoomTown completely missed Lionel Richie perform, cooling our heels outside behind the rope line at the MySpace party in San Francisco last night.</p>
<p><em>Major bummer</em>.</p>
<p>That aside, I did finally get in and did a video at the rocking event, which the SoCal-based social-networking site&#8211;owned by News Corp. (NWS), which owns this site too&#8211;threw at the lovely Old Mint building, after the day&#8217;s proceedings at the Web 2.0 Summit.</p>
<p>It featured that exclusive performance by Richie, and also song-spinning by DJ AM.</p>
<p>But mostly, it was the scene of a lot of wild partying, with a lot of swinging, and packed most of the night, even as the supposed gloom of the econalypse was settling over Silicon Valley.</p>
<p>So here it is, including MySpace PR head Dani Dudeck, refusing to sing for me, as well as a madly-dancing-but-no-commenting Brandee Barker of Facebook.</p>
<p>(In my Richie-less addled state, I mentioned Neil Diamond&#8217;s &#8220;Hello, Again,&#8221; rather than Richie&#8217;s &#8220;Say You, Say Me&#8221; in the video. Sorry!)</p>
<p>Also, don&#8217;t miss the strains of Journey&#8217;s &#8220;Don&#8217;t Stop Believin&#8217;&#8221;&#8211;<a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20081009/dear-web-20-you-might-want-to-stop-believin/">which has become the infamous song of the moment in the digital sector</a>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video:</p>
<p><div class="video-wsj"><embed src="http://s.wsj.net/media/swf/microPlayer.swf" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoGUID={1900406796}&playerid=4001&plyMediaEnabled=1&configURL=http://m.wsj.net/video-players/&autoStart=false" base="http://s.wsj.net/media/swf/" name="microflashPlayer" width="320" height="240" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed><br />[ See post to watch video ]</div></p>
