DJ Ball and pop star Fatboy Slim wed in secret
LONDON (Reuters) -- BBC Radio One disc jockey Zoe Ball and pop star Norman Cook outfoxed the tabloid media circus Friday and got married a day ahead of schedule.
The celebrity couple, who were expected to marry Saturday at an 18th century country mansion, instead opted for a quiet ceremony at Bath Registery Office attended by close friends and family.
Zoe Ball and Cook, who as Fatboy Slim has sold three million records, also refused to sell pictures of their wedding to any celebrity magazines.
``They thought that if they sold their wedding day they would be selling their souls,'' said Cook's mother Rosalie.
This information was brought to me by Erika Hawkins from Evergreen Internet. thank you so much!

As you know, Fatboy Slim played the Woodstock 99 festival. But there's a cool little story that my boy Dave told me. There was a large tent called the cyber cafe where companys promoted their computer products like Music Match, Amp3, etc. Well they had a bunch of computers set up so people could check out there stuff or check your e-mail or just surf the web...Well anyways after he walked in he looked at the first computer he came to and what did he see? Some dude was sitting at the machine checking out my site...and just happened to be staring at the Fatboy pics he took--haha (of the Winter Music Conference)...I'm not shitting you...Now is that a fuckin' trip or what?

Norman made his chat show world debut on Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn last week. Except for not knowing what a "Slim Jim" was (and who could really blame him for that), Norman took control of the show joking with Craig and even "covering" a Buddy Greco song by press the play button on a computer.
