Well, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi weren’t the only amazing couple married yesterday afternoon. Our dear friends Sashie and Will were married at St. John’s Episcopal Church here in Jackson Hole, WY yesterday in a ceremony that can only be described as beautiful and tasteful. Sashie was an absolute gorgeous bride and Will was as hawt as can be … natch. Here are a few pics from Mr. & Mrs. MacNaughton’s wedding yesterday:

Seriously, we had the best time ever. Sashie and Wills family and friends were so welcoming and so much fun. At the reception, we got seated with Sashie’s coolest friends — and we all bonded instantly. David and I have new BFFs in Mary Margaret (and her hubby Josh), Kelly, Elle and Nancy. These hot chicks are trouble and we loved them dearly for it. I mean, it was a gorgeous wedding in a gorgeous setting with gorgeous people … clearly, we had the time of our lives. I’m gonna be sad to leave Jackson Hole so soon … we fly back to LA shortly …

It’s been a great weekend here in beautiful West part of the US … I hope that David and I can come back soon … it’s just too beautiful to spend a single weekend here. I think I may be coming home with a cowboy hat … but don’t quote me on that ;)

• Bernie Mac is remembered by friends, family and fans in Chicago.
• Canton, TX doesn’t take too kindly to city slickers like Stephen Colbert trash-talkin’ their town.
• Mark Ronson lashes back at Noel Gallagher of Oasis.
• Sounds like George Lucas should’ve quit while he was ahead.
• Jessica Simpson reveals that she was abused by bullies, not an ex-lover.
• J. Love confesses why she slimmed down.
• Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids on the Block is 39, Sean Penn is 48 and Belinda Carlisle is 50 years old today. Click HERE to see who else is celebrating a birthday today.
• The Lost Boys may be back again.

Oh yeah … it’s that time of the week when we, once again, take a little time to admire the Hot Dude of the Week chosen to bring a little hawtness into our already happy lives … say hello to John K:

Okay, to be honest I could do without the Tommy Hilfiger undies but some guys just can’t help their fratboy fashion tendencies. John’s tattoos are kinda hawt so I think that kinda makes up for the poor choice in undies … get this man into some Emporio Aramni Underwear and then he’d really be in biz. Now that summer is quickly coming to a sad close, we’re gonna be seeing a lot of hawt football action over the coming months … I think John is just the right kinda of hot dude to get us in the mood. Enjoy!!

Amy Winehouse was one of the performers at the V Festival at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex (in the UK) yesterday and was scheduled to give a “live” performance but by the looks of her on stage, I think she was anything but “live” during her performance:

Just days ago things appeared to be looking up for Amy Winehouse, as the singer was snapped looking unusually groomed and glam. But the fresh start didn’t last long, and the troubled star gave another ropey performance at the Staffordshire leg of the V Festival yesterday, after missing last year’s event because of ill health. Clad in rolled-up jeans, a skimpy vest and headscarf, the dishevelled 24-year-old took to the stage to boos from the audience after keeping the crowd and her band waiting. Looking sallow-faced and grubby with dark smears of make-up around her eyes, she coughed and spluttered her way through the set, forgetting the words to Back to Black and mumbling to herself between songs. Amy dedicated Wake Up Alone to husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who is serving a 27-month prison sentence, which prompted a smattering of boos from the crowd.

Can someone explain to me how this woman is still living? Is she injecting formaldehyde into her veins? She is such a mess … can no one help this poor creature?

Yesterday, the one-and-only Madonna turned 50 years old … last night, she and her hubby Guy Ritchie stepped out on the town in London together to celebrate her 50 years of life … here are a few pics:

Madonna celebrated her 50th birthday in glittering style last night as she draped herself in jewellery to attend a party thrown in her honour. Dripping with silver necklaces and sporting shiny sleeves to match, the singer arrived at the Volstead club in London’s West End accompanied by her husband Guy Ritchie. The couple were all smiles as they headed into the venue, with protective Guy holding onto his wife’s arms. Madonna – wearing thigh boots, a partially transparent chiffon dress and her Kabbalah bracelet – looked positively radiant as she smiled for photographers. The night before the couple had attended a service at a Kabbalah centre in Marylebone. Perhaps the Queen of Pop was giving thanks for her glittering career or maybe she was praying for Mercy, the little girl whom she is hoping to adopt from Malawi. Earlier this week the Mail learned that Ritchie, keen to give his wife the ultimate birthday gift, has given in to her demands to adopt a second Malawian child.

Aww … she looks great … and they both look so happy. It really seems like Madonna had a great birthday (I suspect that gaudy M-Dolla rhinestoned clutch was a gift from one of her admirers) and that all is well with her marriage. That may be the best birthday gift of all. Oh yeah, I’m laying on the cheese today :)

John Mayer, who appears to have been having a tough time this week since his breakup with Jennifer Aniston, gave an impromptu press conference on the streets of NYC this weekend, talking to whatever camera was in his face at the time. TMZ managed to get the whole thing on tape and is spreading Mayer’s message of heartache to the four corners of the world … er, well, the ones that enjoy Internet access that is:

Mayer was indignant at reports his relationship with Jen was torpedoed because he cheated. He says “I ended a relationship to be alone, because I didn’t want to waste someone’s time.” All the “cheating” stories are cheap lies, Mayer says, adding, “It’s the most normal thing in the world” when a relationship runs its course. And he challenged 20% of Americans who are too wussy to get out of relationships that don’t work. After railing on the mags, Johnny boy has some serious superlatives for Jen.

The video, which you can watch HERE, is chock full of Mayer nuggets of wisdom that are simply not to be missed. In the vid, John says, “Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated woman I’ve ever met” and explains the parameters of the breakup of Mayerston. He says:

“It’s about going out with somebody being truthful on the way in, being truthful in the middle and being truthful on the way out. You’re either a cheater or you break up and I’m not the first one, I’m the second one and that’s it.”

Someone then asks him if he is dating anyone else right now and he gets pissy that he would even be asked that question, implying that the mere asking if he’s with someone else discounts all of his statements that there was no cheating involved in the breakup. He continues, “I ended a relationship to be alone because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right.” He ended the “press conference” by implying that he had to “give up” Jenn because sometimes you “can’t have it all” (the implication is that their schedules, etc. are what also led to their breakup) and that having to breakup at all “sucks”. Well, I’m glad that he got that all cleared up. It appears that John may be out of the mopey stage and is now ready to move on … which, I think, is prolly a good idea for everyone involved.

It looks like the report earlier this week from US Weekly magazine turned out to be true after all … the magazine reported exclusively that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were going to be married yesterday afternoon and, in fact, Ellen and Portia did get married. Here are a few pics of the lovely brides as they posed for their own photographer at their Beverly Hills, CA nuptials yesterday afternoon:

Ring the wedding bells! Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have tied the knot. “Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married tonight in an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles,” their spokesperson tells PEOPLE exclusively. DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, both wore Zac Posen and exchanged rings by Neil Lane during the Saturday ceremony. Their big day also featured arrangements by L.A. florist Mark’s Garden. The intimate ceremony was attended by 19 guests, including DeGeneres’s mom Betty and de Rossi’s mother Margaret Rogers (who flew in from Australia for the occasion), who witnessed the couple exchange handwritten vows. The couple have been dating since December 2004. DeGeneres announced her plans to wed de Rossi during a taping of her talk show in May after California’s Supreme Court ruled a previous ban on gay marriage to be unconstitutional.

Woot! This is amazing and very happy news! The doubter in me didn’t totally believe that Ellen and Portia were going to be wed this weekend until I saw the Party Planning trucks arrive at their Beverly Hills home … then I started getting excited that they might actually do the deed — and they did! I am so happy for our dear de Generossi … they seem so right for one another and now that the great State of California has ruled that same-sex marriage is legal, I am just thrilled that they can show the world how much they love one another by entering into this kind of commitment. Much, much congrats and love to them both. I wish them a lifetime of happiness together!
