The lavish circus of the Kim Kardashian wedding wasn’t the only celebrity marriage ceremony held this weekend. Country singer Chely Wright also got married on Saturday to longtime girlfriend Lauren Blitzer.

Chely Wright and Lauren Blitzer were married on Saturday at a country estate in Connecticut belonging to Blitzer’s aunt in a much smaller ceremony than Kim Kardashian’s enormous Hollywood affair. Same sex marriage has been legal in Connecticut since 2008.

About 200 guests were in attendence and both ladies wore white gowns from designer Jose Dias. Neither wore veils because, as Wright told People jokingly, “we like our hair too much.” Blitzer posted a photo of the two lovely brides on her Twitter feed.

The “Single White Female” singer came out publicly as a lesbian in May of 2010. Her public admission she was gay resulted in death threats and Wright admitted she had suicidal thoughts while going through the coming out process.

Wright, 40, and Blitzer, 30, became engaged in April. Wright met Blitzter, a GLBT activist, just two weeks after coming out. The wedding ceremony was held by both a rabbi and a minister to cover both women’s religious beliefs.

Former NFL star Plaxico Burress has finally been released from jail, but it still may be a while before he finds out if anyone wants him back on the football field. Burress pleaded guilty to firearms charges after accidently shooting himself in the leg with an illegal gun at a nightclub in 2009. He served 22 months in prison as part of his plea agreement with prosecutors

After his release, Burress told reporters the first thing he wanted to do was “be reunited with my family. I want to go home and spend some quality time with them.” He also thanked his fans around the world “for their unwavering support.”

Returning to the NFL, however, is something Burress will be thinking about. “If and when everything gets settled, when they get back on the field, I’ll be ready,” Burress said.

“To miss two NFL seasons in the prime of your career, to not be with your family, most importantly, to lose out on millions and millions of dollars – these are things that have forced him certainly to evaluate his life,” Burress’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said in a press statement.

Still, even after missing two seasons and with his criminal record, Rosenhaus expects Jacobs will have “multiple teams interested in signing him.” Rosenhaus said he absolutely expects Jacobs to be playing for some NFL team soon — even his old tea, the New York Giants. “I wouldn’t rule out the Giants, I wouldn’t rule out any club,” Rosenhaus said.

Reese Witherspoon,  well-known for her Legally Blonde movies, became ’legally married’ this past weekend. Reese tied the knot with Jim Toth. The wedding was a private, 20-minute ceremony at Reese’s ranch in Ojai, CA on Saturday. Hollywood’s Elite were on hand to celebrate the joining of these two lives.

The 35-year-old actress included her son and daughter in her ceremony. Her two kids from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillipe are 11-year old Ava and  7-year old Deacon. Reese’s wedding gown was designed by Monique Lhuillier. The wedding was a private, 20-minute ceremony at Reese’s ranch in Ojai, CA this past Saturday. Guests visited while attending the pre-wedding cocktail party.

Hollywood faces in attendance included Alyssa Milano, Tobey Maguire, Robert Downey Jr. and Renee Zellweger. Most likely the second most talked about couple at the wedding were Scarlett Johansson and her date, Sean Penn.  Scarlett is Jim’s client, but no one knew she was arriving with Sean Penn, not even Reese Witherspoon. The couple’s entrance was the second biggest occurrence of the day.

A friend of Scarlett’s reports: “Turning up at a wedding with your boyfriend is definitely a huge statement, especially that wedding. What it’s doing is announcing to the whole of Hollywood that they are serious.  Scarlett is head over heels in love with Sean. She normally tries to hide away from public attention, but when she’s with Sean she doesn’t care.”

 Sean, 50, and Scarlett, 26, have been spotted out and about various times before Reese’s wedding. The first spotting was earlier this year, while attending a party in Los Angeles that celebrated Black Swan. Another time, the two were spotted having a meal, and most recently, earlier this month, the two took a daylong trip to Mexico.

What is in store for the now seemingly committed pair? Rumors are flying that the “S-Squared” are planning an upcoming trip to Haiti.

As for Reese and Jim, the two left her kids with the nanny, and headed off for their honeymoon.

Another slice of pie, anyone? Our favorite actors are gearing up to serve another heaping helping of American Pie.

 That’s right. Yet another American Pie movie. While the first three were, at the best, juvenile humor, it might be interesting in what the fourth installment holds in store. Honestly, though, how do you improve the iconic phrase from the first movie? “ One time, at band camp…”

34 year old hottie, Seann William Scott is joining fellow cast mates Jason Biggs and Eugene Levy are set to reprise their famous roles. Negotiations are ongoing for Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Mena Suvari and Jennifer Coolidge. I am sure that with some of the cast in place, prices will be increased, to get the remainder of the ensemble on board. Because really, can America really grow tired of these now adults running around pulling childish pranks and creating gross-but-have-to-laugh situations? The answer is simple. No. America will eat this up entirely, prompting a part five and six. Will I watch? Probably. Will I laugh? Only secretly. Outwardly, I will act disgusted, as a properly raised woman should. Make no mistake, if the latest movie is as funny as the first three, I will indeed be laughing on the inside.

Seann, commonly known as Steve Stilfler, is currently receiving treatment for his health and personal reasons. He voluntarily entered treatment this past Tuesday. “Seann William Scott has voluntarily admitted himself for proactive treatment to address health and personal issues,” the reps said in a statement. “He appreciates the support of his many fans at this time.

According to his agent, Seann’s treatment is not expected to affect production, set to begin filming on May 24.

Aside from the Pie trilogy, Seann is widely known for his portrayal of Bo Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard movie. In addition, he has starred in Cop Out with Bruce Willis and also leant his voice for the Ice Age animated movies. Prior to checking himself into treatment, he finished shooting Goon.

Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper have broken up, after being a couple for two years. Renee, 41, and Cooper, 36, moved in together last fall.

 They met during the filming of “Case 39” but didn’t begin dating until 2009.  The two never officially confirmed their relationship, they were often seen out together. In addition, Bradley has been public about his feelings.

 It was just earlier this week that Bradley was a guest on the Howard Stern’s radio show. It was there that he discussed his marriage to Jennifer Esposito and his general feelings of marriage. “It was just something that happened,” Bradley said about his quick marriage [via UsMagazine.com]. “The good thing is, we both realized it … Sometimes you just realize it. It just wasn’t right. It’s interesting … things happen!”

 When Howard asked if he was turned off from marriage on a permanent basis, Bradley said that he was not. “Making any declarative statement [like that] is a joke,” he said with a chuckle. 

Although the pair never officially confirmed their relationship, they were frequently spotted out together and Cooper has been vocal about his feelings. “I can’t say enough about her,” he said  while promoting the couple’s film Case 39. “I just love her. I [loved] coming to work. I love acting with her. I can learn so much from her.”

In January of this year, Renee didn’t attend the Golden Globes. Instead, she went to be with Bradley, to help him through the loss of his father.One short month later, there were rumors about trouble in paradise. The pair attended a pre-Oscar party but didn’t hang out together.

Their reps have no comment.

Renee has also been in movies such as “Chicago” and “Jerry Maguire” and at one time was in a very short-term marriage with Kenny Chesney, which she received an annulment for.

Professionally, Nate Dogg was a member of the Dogg Pound Gangsta Crips, (DPGC). The DPGC also included members such as Snopp Dogg and Daz Dillenger, both went to Twitter to post their words of grief.

A few days ago the second episode of the current season’s “Celebrity Apprentice” aired. While David Cassidy provided some interesting discussions in the board room, that didn’t even compare to the drama in last Sunday’s episode.

Teams Backbone and A.S.A.P had the challenge this week of writing a children’s book and then bring the story to life in front of four and five year olds. Sounds simple enough, right? Not for these arrogent, headstrong celebs. The men seemed to work together pretty well, but the women…well, that is another story.

Star pushed and pushed for Lisa to be Project Manager, and Lisa reluctantly accepted. This was the first step in her demise. Lisa didn’t have the leadership skills, or the backbone to handle strong personalities such as the bitchy Star Jones and Dionne Warwick. These ladies are out to win, not to make friends. Which is good for Dionne, as she hasn’t done a good job of making any. Marlee Matlin was offended by Dionne’s attitude regarding her sign language being incorporated into the book. In addition, Dionne claimed that she came up with the book’s concept, and wanted her name on the front cover, alongside Star. Star did do the writing and all, but Dionne felt as though her name should stand out as well. Lisa finally stood up to the heifers and told them that the byline would be listed as A.S.A.P, as it was a group effort. Lisa continued to let Star and Dionne push her around throughout the remainder of the show.

Over at backbone, Meatloaf volunteered to be Project Manager. He says that he loves children, and his whole performance showed that emotion to be true. He delegated assignments, and things for the guys seemed to run pretty smooth, even with Gary Busey’s total lack of focus.

Both teams performed well for the children, but the men’s play seemed to draw in the kids’ attention more. They are the ones that ended up winning the challenge. So, this left Lisa having to answer some difficult questions from the Donald. She was totally thrown under the bus, and didn’t do much to save herself in the boardroom. .

When Lisa was called back into the boardroom, it was not surprising that she brought Star and Dionne back with her. She was like a lamb surrounded by wolves. It was pretty sad to watch actually. Lisa came across as a nice, reserved gal, who couldn’t hold her own against these two. That kind of attitude ultimately got her fired from the show.

Another star-filled episode airs this Sunday on NBC.

Gilbert Gottfried has also had a unique style within the comedy ring. Over the years, he has spoken on topics that were taboo. He has made very inappropriate jokes, and this time he lost a job over it.

It was reported today that Gilbert posted very inappropriate jokes about Japan on his Twitter account. One statement announced that he broke up with his girlfriend, but that it was okay; like in Japan, another one would be floating by any minute. These were just tacky, uncalled for statements in a time where Japan has been hit with a full-blown catastrophe. It shows a lot about his makeup, his personality. To have such lack of compassion, to sound like such a jerk. This is why Aflac has decided to let him go. As of yesterday, he was the voice of the Aflac duck. The gig had been his for awhile but the bigwigs at Aflac pulled the plug after the series of out-of-line “jokes.”

The company’s statement follows: “Gilbert’s recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac … Aflac will immediately set plans in motion to conduct a nationwide casting call to find a new voice of the iconic Aflac Duck.”

Gottfried is often on hand when Comedy Central roasts various celebrities. He was participating in the roast of Bob Saget. In addition, he has done voice work, in the Disney movie series, “Aladdin.”

I understand that comedians are a bit different, that they usually try to turn everything into a joke. I get that, but isn’t there a line that shouldn’t be crossed? Just sayin.

Currently, there have been no more twitter postings from the fired employee. It will be interesting to see if he at least posts a semi-heartfelt apology for his insensitive words.

There must be something in the “tiger blood” that is causing hardcore fans of the trouble actor to act just as crazy as he is. From tats of the actor, to sneaking in his house, fans are really going crazy over Charlie.

Yes, it is true. “Sheen Fever” seems to have taken over America, shooting him straight to the top of the gossip mills for over two weeks now. Life in “Sheenville” is crazy right now, to say the least. What is even crazier is some of his fans. The photo, from tmz.com, shows tiger blood, charlie sheen and the newest catch phrase “winning.” The identity of this man is unknown, but chances are he will be regretting his crazy antic in a month, or less!

Also in Sheen news, a 26 year old man jumped the large privacy fence of Charlie’s backyard. Apparently, someone in the house called 9-1-1 a little after 11:30 pm. The Kansas City man was detained in the yard until police showed up and arrested him. He was later booked on suspicion of trespassing and bail was set at $1000. No word yet as to how he got through the heavily secured, gated community.

Another comical part of Charlie’s rants is his sold out concerts. He is taking his Internet rants and turning them into a money maker. Two shows were set, and sold out in a mere 18 minutes. Crazy? Yes, I am afraid so. It is amazing how so many people will spend their hard earned money to sit and listen to a disturb actor rant and rave about how terrible his situation is.

He also made live his own website, that also features some rants. T-shirts can be purchased from the site, featuring some of the more popular “Sheenisms.” Also, this is where tickets can be purchased, when more locations are added to the “tour.”

There are many folks who are sick of hearing about Charlie Sheen. They might feel the large amount of attention won’t help him. He seems to be thriving from it, however. Maybe a new celebrity will step up to the plate and take some attention away from the man. Until that happens, Charlie will leave this writer, as well as many others, with a good story!

Donald Trump figures if everyone else is going to express opinion regarding the entire Charlie Sheen “situation”, he might as well join in.

 According to radaronline.com, The “Celebrity Apprentice” host revealed he confided in Brooke Mueller’s mother. He was hopeful of convincing Miore Fiore to talk Brook out of marrying Charlie Sheen, former star of “Two and a Half Men.” Fiore told The Donald that her daughter was engaged to Sheen, and that she was very “impressed” by him. Donald responded to her saying, “Don’t let your daughter marry this guy. He is the wrong guy.

Mr. Trump goes on about Charlie. “Charlie is from a different planet, but he’s a friend of mine. He needs help, there’s no question about it, but I’ve seen worse,” he said.

“I would love to have Charlie on Celebrity Apprentice. There’s tremendous interest in him. He’s different from anybody I know. But he’s at that line right now and I hope he doesn’t cross it. He needs to relax.”

In other Trump news, he was the subject of the latest Comedy Central Roasts. At first, he was completely against the idea, but then he learned that $2 million would go to charity, and he couldn’t sign up fast enough. It is unclear at this time which charity or charities the money will go.

As is the standard of Comedy Central roasts, “The Donald’s” ego has likely taken a beating. He stated that he knew it was going to be a brutal time, with topics ranging from his hair, his face, etc.  He went on to state that he was ready for it.

In other news, Donald Trump made clear his stand on gay marriages. “New York is a place with lots of gays, and I think it is great,” he said. “But I’m not in favor of gay marriage. They should not be able to marry. I’m a very conservative Republican.”
