Prince Wills, who turns 26 years old today, celebrated his birthday with his girlfriend Kate Middleton and his little brother Prince Harry at the Beaufort Polo Club at the Cotswolds in the UK today by pitching a tent … presumably for he and Kate to relax in and exchange … gifts? Here are a few pics:

Aww … it looks nice and cozy. I’m sure it’s a fine way to celebrate one’s birthday … out on the polo greens, just you and your girl … and your pesky little brother snickering behind your back. I just hope that tent comes with door you can zip close otherwise Wills may not be able to receive his special birthday present from Miss Middleton until a more private time later on ;) Happy Birthday, Your Highness!

New papa Casey Aldridge has a lot to be thankful for this weekend since he and babymama Jamie Lynn Spears welcomed the birth of their new baby girl Maddie Briann on Thursday … but one thing he’s prolly not thankful for is a new batch of candid My Space photos of Casey lookin’ all cozy with a girl who isn’t Jamie Lynn Spears making their way around the InterWeb … behold:

Now, it’s entirely possible that these photos of Casey and this girl are years old … but if you consider that Jamie Lynn and Casey have been together as a couple for at least a few years, these pics would have to be really old for Casey not to be foolin’ around on JL. I gotta say, tho, Casey looks about the same in these pics as he’s looked in recent pics with Jamie Lynn soooo who knows. I’m sure that, whatever the case may be with this girl, Casey is fully committed to his new family with JL and Maddie … course, there’s yet to be a wedding to seal the deal … HMMM.

Last night I met up with Steph and Alek for a quiet night at the movies (since it’s so darn hot around here we wanted to do something air conditioned) and we decided to see The Love Guru. Steph and I had such a good time watching You Don’t Mess with the Zohan on Thursday night that we were looking forward to enjoying more hilarity last night … unfortch, there was no hilarity to be had in The Love Guru:

As you can imagine, all of the funniest parts were shown in the trailers and TV commercials … there was nothing funny left for the actual movie. The jokes were extremely tired and overused. I can’t believe that Mike Meyers is still trying to make a career out of potty jokes. I’m not sure what I expected from this movie but I was disappointed that I came away from the theater totally empty-handed. There wasn’t a single strong comedic performance from anyone. Justin Timberlake was simply horrible. Not only was he not funny by any stretch of the imagination but his sad attempt at a French-Canadian accent was totally pitiful and laughable … not in a good way. Jessica Alba and Megan Good booth looked amazing … and the songs were kinda funny but the whole movie just sucks a fat one. I will say that the faux Bollywood scenes were cute but not nearly good enough to save this stupid movie. I haven’t been this disappointed in a comedy in a long time. I kept trying to laugh, kept trying to have a good time but it was just so bad … I’m sorry, I cannot recommend it to anyone. Go see Zohan instead, that movie has some actual funny parts in it.

After the movie, we were hungry for something palatable … so we went to Birds for a late dinner. After we had sufficiently feasted, we met up with Mike for a quick drink at the Cat and the Fiddle to finish out the night.

Today, I’ve got work and packing to take care of … then dinner plans with Mike later on tonight. I have an early flight to NYC tomorrow so I gots stuff to take care of. I’m sure I won’t mind staying out of the 100+ degree weather today ;) Stay cool, y’all!!

Ellen DeGeneres may have won the Daytime Emmy award for Best Talk Show Host last night but that wasn’t the only reason she was all smiles on the red carpet and inside the Kodak Theater. Ellen and her fiancé Portia de Rossi showed off Portia’s new diamond engagement ring and the pair also revealed new deets on their upcoming nuptials to People magazine. Here is a pic of Ellen and Portia showing off the ring and a supercute pic of the ladies sharing a congratulatory smooch as Ellen was announced as the Best Talk Show Host winner:

Ellen DeGeneres gave Portia de Rossi a glittering ring with pink diamonds for their upcoming wedding that will air in part on DeGeneres’s talk show. “We have set a wedding date,” said DeGeneres, who walked the red carpet with de Rossi at Friday night’s 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. De Rossi wore a green satin Lanvin gown and a Neil Lane ring on her wedding finger. The ring was a marquis cut diamond set with pink diamonds. DeGeneres … announced her plans to wed longtime girlfriend de Rossi, on her show back in May, shortly after California’s Supreme Court ruled the previous ban on gay marriages as unconstitutional. The two stars are in the midst of preparations for what DeGeneres calls “the dream wedding.” “Planning a wedding is very stressful,” says DeGeneres. “It is crazy. My gardener is now invited.” The comedienne remained tight-lipped on the major details of her upcoming nuptials to de Rossi, 35, only revealing that “incredible people” would be performing, and that she would air part of the ceremony on her show … “I can’t wait to be married. I feel like it is long overdue,” she said. “And I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous like we all don’t have the same rights.” The two stars began dating in December 2004.

Aww … I am so excited for these two. I’m sure they are going to pull out all the stops for their wedding and if I know Ellen, it’s gonna be a really fun affair. I can only imagine what the guest list looks like (anyone from Oprah Winfrey to David Beckham to Hillary Clinton to Madonna could be on it) and I cannot wait to watch it all go down on Ellen’s show. Much congrats to the happy couple … I just hope *we* won’t have to wait *too* long to find out the wedding date ;)

Hollywood and Highland was overrun by the brightest and best of Daytime television last night as the 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards took center stage (in the sweltering heat) at the Kodak Theater here in Hollywood, CA. A plethora of Daytime stars took to the red carpet last night but, to be honest, I am only really interested in the folks who appear on my fave Daytime soaps The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. Here are a few folks from both shows as they made their way down the red carpet last night:

Despite nominations in many of the major categories, only 2 folks from Y&R took home Daytime Emmys last night (Kristoff St. John for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and Jeanne Cooper for Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series) … but I suppose much congrats should go out to the other folks who did win awards, including Ellen DeGeneres and Tyra Banks among others …
