Jessica Simpson and her NFL beau finally married yesterday at the luxurious San Ysidro Ranch resort (apparently where JFK and Jackie spent their honeymoon). Their 1-year-old son Ace was their ring bearer, their 2-year-old daughter Maxwell was their flower girl and was joined by Ashlee Simpson’s son Bronx, 5. Oh, and Jessica Simpson wore a custom Carolina Herrera dress. They told People:

“We are overwhelmed with complete happiness and love having made our eternal commitment,” the newlyweds told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement on Saturday.
“To say ‘I do’ in front of family, friends and, most importantly, our children has been the happiest moment of our lives.”

Also, they held a “real Americana” July 4 barbecue for all their guests. It was described as “Very Kennedy” by the event planner. [People]


Remember when John Mayer did stand up comedy? Neither do I, but apparently he did. Well now, he is pitching a new reality TV show called My Funny Friend—where people can nominate their funny friends for a comedy award. It sounds strange:

“His concept is: Everyone thinks they have a buddy who’s so hysterical, he or she should be in comedy. So people nominate their friends, and they go through a series of evaluations to determine if they’re actually funny or not.
“John thinks it has a great human-interest angle… It’s a show about dreams”

If you’re selling something as “a show about dreams,” you might want to just stop right there. [US]


Miley Cyrus and her friends got a tattoo in honor of her late (do we use “late” for pets?) dog Floyd. It features a “portrait” of Floyd with a speech bubble that says “wiTH A LiTTLe HELP FROm MY FWENDS”. It doesn’t look as bad as my description would let on, but it’s still pretty terrible. [US]
