Get me to the church on time

By Carol Beggy & Mark Shanahan  |  October 8, 2007

Emiley Zalesky was a bridal blur yesterday, arriving shortly before 5 p.m. and scurrying into the Lindsey Chapel at the Emmanuel Church, while her groom, Boston Pops maestro Keith Lockhart, waited patiently inside the historic Newbury Street church. The couple were married before a crowd that included retired Bank of America honcho Chad Gifford and his wife, Anne, Mandarin Oriental Hotel developer Robin Brown and his wife, Marcia, and Lockhart's Symphony Hall colleagues including Mark Volpe and Bernadette Horgan. After the ceremony, the couple and their friends headed to the reception at Davio's, which is where Lockhart met the 30-year-old former Ropes & Gray attorney nearly two years ago. (We're told that Keith & Co. did a well-behaved bachelor party tour on Saturday night that took them to Abe & Louie's in the Back Bay and later to The Beehive in the South End.) Lockhart was previously married to BSO violinist Lucia Lin, with whom he has a son, Aaron, who was spotted at the wedding. Lin recently traveled outside the country to adopt a baby.

For Brady, the timepiece is right

Patriots QB Tom Brady has made a career out of his incredible timing, so it's no wonder a watch company would make No. 12 its pitchman. But tony timepiece maker Movado isn't just getting an endorsement, it teamed up with Tom to create the "Tom Brady Automatic Chronograph," which can be yours for $2,500. Or for the really big fan, how about one of 12 limited edition 18-karat rose gold watches with an alligator strap that goes for $20,000? (You'll have to hurry, because eight of those have already been spoken for, we're told.) Brady unveiled the new watches at a private reception for 40 of Movado's best customers held at Boston's Four Seasons Hotel Saturday. . . . And on Friday night, Brady never made it to the Sox game at Fenway Park, we're told, opting instead to head to dinner with his father and sister at the swanky South End eatery Rocca.

Garner: No showbiz for Violet

Don't look for Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's little daughter, Violet, to follow in their big showbiz footsteps. "We would just kibosh it," Garner (above in Switzerland Saturday) told reporters at the London premiere for "The Kingdom." But it might not be something that the 2-year-old's parents will have to deal with anytime soon because Violet is "unaware of what we do for a living," People magazine quoted Garner as saying. The proud mom told reporters that Violet was a hit on "The Kingdom" set last year. "It brought so much joy to the job," the 35-year-old former "Alias" star said. "I would [go] back and forth, from playing with her and taking care of her to running back to work." It was Affleck who was on diaper duty the other night while Garner walked the red carpet with costar Jamie Foxx and director Peter Berg. "He's baby-sitting. I can't wait to have him as my date again, but right now we're just kind of passing in shifts," Garner said of her husband, whose directorial debut, "Gone Baby Gone," premieres here Oct. 15. But the Boston-set drama won't open anytime soon in the UK because of its similarities to the case of Madeleine McCann, a young British girl who is missing. "It's such a beautiful film," Garner told reporters of "Gone Baby Gone." "It's such a crush that because of everything that's going on here right now it's not the right time, but hopefully you'll get to see it someday."

Not quite six months after he was booted off the air for making a racial remark, Don Imus appears to be getting back on radio. The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz reports the embattled morning chat show host has come to financial terms with Citadel Broadcasting, one of the nation's top broadcasting companies. It owns 243 radio stations including ones in New Bedford, Worcester, and Providence. Kurtz quotes a source saying that a contract worth "millions of dollars" to Imus could be finalized within a week, and that Imus could return to hosting by Dec. 1. Imus's nationally syndicated show was carried on Greater Media's all-talk station WTKK-FM until CBS Radio pulled the plug on the four-hour weekday program in April. Since then, WTKK has filled the time with a few local subs, including Mike Barnicle, who turned down a full-time gig, and Michael Graham, who was already part of the 96.9 FM chat lineup. Boston Herald columnist and WRKO-AM talk show host Howie Carr was slated to take his conservative schtick to WTKK this summer. However, a contract dispute with WRKO's parent company Entercom has kept him off TKK's airwaves. Sources at 96.9 FM told us yesterday that it's unlikely Imus's return to radio would mean he would be part of WTKK.

Dane Cook and his "Bachelor No. 2" costar Jason Biggs will resume filming the Boston-set comedy in Belmont today, we're told. But it seems like Cook is busy - even when he has some time off. Comedy Connection owner Bill Blumenreich, who promotes the Arlington-born comic, sends word that 6,000 tickets to Cook's Nov. 17 gig at the TD Banknorth Garden sold on the first day.
