Storybook wedding for actress Rowell

Actress Maura Tierney said yesterday she is set to undergo surgery to remove a breast tumor. “In an effort to guard my privacy, it seems that the wording of NBC’s press release has unfortunately caused some confusion and undue alarm about my health,’’ said Tierney, 44, whose dad is former Boston city councilor Joseph Tierney. In the statement, Tierney, who attended Notre Dame Academy in Hingham, went on to explain NBC’s decision to delay production of her new show “Parenthood.’’ “I have discovered a tumor in my breast which requires surgery. I will not know either my exact diagnosis or course of treatment until that surgery is performed. My doctors have all assured me this is a very treatable condition.’’ The show was scheduled to premiere Sept. 23.

Bill Bratton, the former Boston police commissioner who’s now LA’s top cop, is selling his house in the City of Angels. But that doesn’t mean that Bratton, who was also police commissioner in New York, is on the move again. The Los Angeles Times reports that Bratton and wife Rikki Klieman are selling their four-bedroom house in Los Feliz for $1.875 million - they paid $1.2 million in 2003 - and plan to buy another house in the area. Last month, Queen Elizabeth II announced that the Boston native will receive the honorary title of Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

Whatever’s ailing Steven Tyler, it’s not getting any better, at least not enough to allow Aerosmith to resume its summer tour. The band, which began postponing concerts a few weeks ago, called off shows Saturday and last night in Florida. Drummer Joey Kramer told Philly radio host Danny Bonaduce yesterday that Tyler tore a quadricep. Guitarist Joe Perry said on Twitter that the shows would be rescheduled for October, telling fans: “Sorry for the let down. Better Steven recovers fully than halfway n strains his leg again.’’ In the meantime, Perry isn’t just sitting on his hands. He and wife Billie joined 85 other divers over the weekend, scooping up trash during a reef cleanup in the Gulf of Mexico.

Congrats to Amanda Lynn Teresa Kelly , 23, the Braintree native who was crowned Miss Massachusetts 2009 over the weekend. Kelly, a 2008 Brandeis grad, was first runner-up last year. First runner-up this year was Kera Street, 22, a grad student at Harvard. Second runner-up was Cherise Marie Leclerc, 20, of Hampden, a junior at UMass.

Between the schlumpy T-shirt and the baseball cap, actor Brendan Fraser is looking like everyone else these days. Fraser is in town shooting “Furry Vengeance’’ with Brooke Shields, Matt Prokop, and Dick Van Dyke. . . . “Grown Ups’’ guys David Spade and Colin Quinn stopped into Sonsie over the weekend, chowing on chef Bill Poirier’s chopped salad with egg, croutons, grilled bacon, tomatoes, and Old Chatham camembert cheese. (Costar Tim Meadows dropped by to say hello.) . . . “Enchanted’’ star Amy Adams dined at Legal Sea Foods in Burlington the other night. The actress is in town to shoot “The Fighter’’ with Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale.

“I’m the French one, with the blond short hair,’’ says Aria Paradiso of Paradiso Girls, a new girl group that has ambitions of becoming the next big thing. She hasn’t quite mastered English yet, but on the phone from LA yesterday, Aria was clearly excited. “We play an amazing show last night. The people was on fire,’’ she said. “I’m very excited about the reaction of everyone. There have been comparisons to Spice Girls.’’ You can judge for yourself when Paradiso Girls - Aria, Chelsea, Kelly, Lauren, and Shar - perform a few tunes tomorrow at Ed Kane’s Marina Bay Beach Club. (They’re at Shrine at MGM Grand at Foxwoods tonight.) The gals are global - they’re from Paris, Barbados, England, Philippines, and the United States - and are getting a hand from such heavyweights as Cee-Lo and will.i.am. “Oh my gosh, we are having fun,’’ said Aria. “I try so bad to lose my accent, but I can’t. I also want to act, but I don’t have to be stuck always playing the foreign girl.’’

Who were those impostors walking around the Financial District yesterday? Revolution Rock Bar put a few pretenders on the street to promote its lunch service. Jared Gamens was Gene Simmons, Leo Rusinov channeled Elvis, and Alexandra Taylor did her best Debbie Harry. We’re pleased to report no one was fooled. . . . “The Shield’’ star Michael Chiklis had lunch on the patio at Charley’s on Newbury Street yesterday.

Amazon.com is a mixed blessing for Boston author Joseph Finder. The good news: His book “Paranoia’’ has been ranked No. 1 at the Amazon Kindle store for the past few weeks. (Eat your heart out Glenn Beck.) The bad news: The book is free. Turns out Amazon is offering it for free in advance of Finder’s new book, “Vanished,’’ which comes out Aug. 18. Says Finder: “Free seems to be an appealing price point.’’ Indeed.
