12 Friday, August 29, 201 4 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com 'Regret' we let tot shoot Uzi THE DEVASTATED WIFE of the veteran gun instructor who was accidentally gunned down by a machine-gun-toting 9-year-old was grief-stricken for her loss and heartsick for her kids Thursday. Charles Vacca was fatally shot in the head Monday after an Uzi recoiled in the arms of the girl he was teaching, spraying bullets everywhere and throwing his young family into emotional disarray. "It's really difficult," the wife, whose name is being withheld, told the Daily News. "The kids are taking it hard." She declined further comment. The site of the tragic accident, the Bullets and Burgers gun range in White Hills, has shut its doors while employees also grieve Vacca's death.

"I have regret we let this child shoot," Sam Scarmardo, owner of the range in the Arizona Last Stop recreational tourist area, told the Associated Press on Thursday. "And I have regret that Charlie was killed in the incident." The Clark County Coroner said Vacca suffered a single gunshot to the head. Adam Edel man With News Wire Services No jail for Hoffman's and BILL HUTCHINSON gr" InUB 'f fMKlllliHA. J5 1 mliMBS WIT druggie jazzman pal THE JUNKIE jazz musician pal of late Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman charged in the wake of the famed actor's fatal drug overdose took a no-jail plea deal Thursday. Robert Vineberg, 58, copped to a low-level possession charge in Manhattan Supreme Court in exchange for five years' probation, 25 days of community service and enrollment in a drug treatment program.

Vineberg also agreed to forfeit the 1,284 in cash that police seized during the February raid of his Mott St. home, where they allegedly discovered more than 300 bags of heroin. The musician had faced up to 25 years in prison if convicted of possession with intent to sell. "It's wonderful. It's perfect It's all over," Vineberg later told reporters in the courthouse.

Prosecutors made the deal with Vineberg after detectives who interrogated him said they didn't properly read him his Miranda Rights, according to court records. Barbara Ross Bring back da bling, Kingston BLING-LOVING singer Sean Kingston might have to tone down his look. In papers filed in Manhattan Federal Court, jeweler to the stars Avi (Da Jeweler) Davidov says the "Beautiful Girls" singer hasn't paid him for over $200,000 worth of jewelry. The pieces Davidov says Kingston stiffed him on include a $35,000 watch with 44 carats in diamonds, and a $150,000 custom designed "SK" diamond pendant and watch combo both encrusted with white and yellow diamonds. The suit says he also loaned the Jamaican-American singer $350,000 worth of jewelry to wear for an appearance on BET, but Kingston never returned a $12,000 ring from the shoot.

The fed-up friend wants $240,000 for the jewelry, and $1 million in punitive damages. A rep for Kingston, 24, could not be reached. Dareh Gregorian Slip away to France THEY'RE THE most paparazzi-hounded couple in the world, yet Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie pulled off a super-secret South of France wedding and then kept it hush-hush for five days. Bowing to years of insistence by their six children, the A-list newlyweds got hitched Saturday in an intimate chapel at Chateau Miraval, their leased vineyard estate in the Provence hamlet of Correns, a spokesman for the pair said Thursday. One guest told Hollywood Life, "Every single day their kids asked them to get married," adding "they finally broke them down and gottheir wish." Jolie, 39, wore a plain white floor-length antique lace and silk dress that nearly took her betrothed's breath away.

"Brad lifted (her veil) and gasped because she looked so stunning," a source told News. The insider described Jolie's wedding gown as "very traditional, but very Angie." The 50-year-old Pitt and Jolie's six children had starring roles in the romantic nuptials fulfilling a wish the "Male-ficient" actress had longed for, the couple's spokesman told The Associated Press. Eldest sons Maddox, 13, and Pax, 10, received the honor of walking their mother down the chapel aisle, while daughters Zahara, 9, and Vivienne, 6, dappled their path to the altar with rose petals. Shiloh, 8, and Knox, 6, served as ring bearers. No more than 22 relatives and close friends witnessed the "I dos," which were sealed with a long kiss.

Jolie's estranged father, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, was not invited, but Pitt's parents, Jane and William, were among the guests. The nondenominational civil ceremony was performed by a California judge who had obtained a marriage license on the spokesman said. Pitt and his sons were decked out in cream-colored tuxedos. "The girls had each chosen a dress to match their own individual style and they had them specially made," the News insider said. Keeping the tradition of wearing something old as well as new, Jolie donned a small gold locket that contained a photo of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of ovarian cancer in 2007.

The locket apparently once belonged to Bertrand. "Brad and Angie wrote their own wedding vows," another guest told Hollywood Life. "It was a very intimate wedding, very classy and elegant." Pitt and his Academy Award-winning bride admitted they fell in love 2005 while filming the tongue-in-cheek thriller "Mr. Mrs. Smith." Dubbed "Brangelina" by the celebrity media, the pair got engaged in April 2012 after adopting three children, from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Namibia, and having three biological kids.

They previously said they wouldn't get married until gay marriage was legal. "The reason for getting married was very simple Obviously they love each other very much," the guest told Hollywood Life. And the children "ask them multiple times a day as well. "Now that everyone is old enough to un-.
