Things appear to be looking up for former "Baywatch" and "Titans" star Yasmine Bleeth. The comely 34-year-old actress exchanged vows over the weekend to Paul Cerrito, 32, at a posh resort near Santa Barbara, Calif., "Entertainment Tonight" reports. A private ceremony and reception for 50 people was reportedly held at the exclusive Bacara resort, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains. (Bacara is the same place "Will & Grace" star Debra Messing held her 2000 wedding to Daniel Zelman.) Cerrito is the same man with whom Bleeth was arrested last Sept. 12 in Michigan after patrol officers found cocaine in her purse during their investigation of a car accident. At the time of her arrest, the L.A.-based actress was in Detroit to visit the parents of Cerrito, whom she apparently met at Promises, a rehab facility in Malibu, the Associated Press reported. Last November, Bleeth pleaded guilty to possessing less than 25 grams of cocaine and to driving while impaired. She was ordered to serve two years probation and to submit to regular drug tests, serve 100 hours of community service and pay court costs.
