Singer Miguel has said 'I do', Beyoncé has a special message for a special man, and Miley Cyrus has a special someone with her in Cape Town. This and more on Hot Goss with Jane.
Miguel has tied the knot to his longtime girlfriend
Miguel Jontel Pimentel, known to his fans as Miguel, has married his longtime model girlfriend, Nazanin Mandi.
The celebration of their 13-year long relationship took place at the gorgeous Hummingbird Nest Ranch in California this past weekend.
Vogue reports that the pair met when they were both 18. Mandi asked him if he had a girlfriend during an interview, he said no, they exchanged numbers - the end.
The bride wore an exquisite fitted lace dress by Filipino-American fashion designer Monique Lhuillier. She said that she opted to go for 'classic cuts with a modern edge'.
The couple took to their respective social media accounts to share pictures from the happy occasion, and it looked like a fairytale wedding.
Gorgeous!
Beyoncé's message to Madiba ahead of Global Citizen Festival
To those attending the Global Citizen Festival, we're super jealous, but thankfully we'll have the pictures and videos to look forward to.
Beyoncé will be on stage alongside other magic artists, including Black Coffee, at the festival which takes place on 2 December 2018 at the FNB Stadium.
Channel24 reports that the star recently published an article written by Queen Bey dedicated to Nelson Mandela - the icon that the concert is dedicated to.

In the letter, she talks about what a significant impact he had on her, and what an honour it is to be in SA.
Check out the full letter below:
Dear Madiba,
I first met you in 2004 for the 46664 AIDS Benefit Concert in Cape Town, and the impact you have had on my life resonates with me today and every day. Your kindness and gratitude for every experience, and your ability to forgive are lessons I have learned and will pass on to my three children. My entire family holds you in high regard.
It is an honour for me to travel to South Africa this week in celebration of you and your efforts to right so many wrongs. You were a strategic warrior, a bold activist, and charismatic and well-loved leader. Your vision for dignity, for human rights, for peace and a South Africa free of racism and apartheid, allows us all to turn dreams into reality.
I remember taking that walk with you back to the prison on Robben Island where you spent 18 of those imprisoned 27 years. I recall your measured but focused steps in as you recounted the stories of the struggles, the sacrifices and your resilience. You smiled as you talked to a crowd of artists and their guests, including my mother, who first told my sister and me about the great Nelson Mandela. In that moment I truly understood your heart and humility.
You made it possible for so many people like me to reject impossibilities and understand our capabilities in making lasting change in the world. The smallest efforts could change the trajectory for so many living in extreme poverty, facing injustices, the indecency of racism and fighting for their rights as humans.
As we celebrate the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100, honouring your centennial year, I promise you that we have made your dreams our own. Your work and your sacrifices were not in vain. I will cherish every moment shared in your presence and use the lessons learned from you as fuel to stir positive ideas and solutions.
- Beyoncé Knowles-Carter
Miley Cyrus' sister is in South Africa with her
It's no secret that Miley is in town, in fact, our Entertainment team published a story about it at the beginning of November - pictures and all. She was caught sightseeing and enjoying what Mzansi has to offer.
What we didn't know is that her sister Brandi is here as well to shop up a storm, and to soak up the sun with her sister.
Brandi took to her Instagram to share a few snaps of their time together - which looked like a complete vibe.
