LEIPER'S FORK, Tenn., June 20 (UPI) -- Country music star Wynonna Judd married musician Cactus Moser, her boyfriend of three years, on her farm in Leiper's Fork, Tenn., UsMagazine.com reported.

The bride, 48, wore an Houri Barahimi dress and went barefoot for the June 10 wedding, which her famous mother Naomi and Sister Ashley did not attend, the magazine said Wednesday.

Moser, 55, is a drummer in Judd's band, The Big Noise.

Carrey drops out of 'Dumber' sequel

LOS ANGELES, June 20 (UPI) -- Jim Carrey's publicist says the actor will not co-star with Jeff Daniels in a planned sequel to their 1994 Hollywood comedy, "Dumb and Dumber."

Fraternal filmmakers Peter and Bobby Farrelly said in April the original stars were reuniting in September for a follow-up.

But Carrey's representative confirmed an "Entertainment Tonight" report saying Carrey had grown "increasingly frustrated" by the lack of enthusiasm Warner Bros. and New Line are showing for the project.

Carrey wants to make the film but doesn't understand why making a sequel to the blockbuster appears to be a low priority for the studios involved, the report said.

"I would have thought 'Dumb and Dumber To' was a no-brainer," Carrey said in a statement to ET.com. "After all, it's implied in the title."

E! News said it is possible the studios aren't as excited about the film because the Farrelly brothers' last comedy, "The Three Stooges," underperformed at the box office.
