Nathan Followill Gets Married

Five minutes ago, I had no idea who Nathan Followill was, but it turns out he's the drummer for Kings of Leon and people care about that. He just married singer Jessie Baylin. Yeah, don't know her either. But USMag repots:

The band's rep tells Us they tied the knot around 5 p.m. at Wolf Den Farm in Brentwood, Tenn., in front of close friends and family, including Scarlett Johansson (who went to high school with Baylin).

"The wedding was beautiful. It was a gorgeous, 70-degree day," the band's rep tells Us of the ceremony, which took place in a beautiful, rustic barn. The reception was catered by local Nashville restaurant Miel.

The only thing about this that makes it blog-worthy is that Scarlett Johansson was there. I think that merits posting some pictures of her at the Mango New Collection Launch Party. Oh, and good luck to that drummer guy and his wife.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Get Into Something Else

Because their rainbow of children and humanitarian efforts along with their acting and modeling careers is not enough, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting into the high-end jewelry market. WWD reports:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are breaking into high-end jewelry design with Asprey via a capsule collection of gold jewelry and silver accessories called The Protector — and inspired by the snake.

The limited edition collection, which was conceived and designed by Pitt and Jolie, has been in the works for more than a year, and will go on sale at Asprey stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai later this week, according to Asprey officials.

Prices start at $525 for a silver baby spoon with a curving, serpent-shaped handle, and all net proceeds from sales will go to Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which was cofounded by Jolie in 2006. The charity raises awareness and funds to educate child victims of war, conflict and natural disasters.

Ah, there it is. I should've known it would somehow ultimately lead to helping children. These two are helping so many kids that I'm thinking about knocking up some prostitute just to see some of the benefits. It's a solid plan, one of my best.

Kris Allen is Humble

Kris Allen might not be telling the world that he's gay (like Adam Lambert) or posing on the cover of Rolling Stone (like Adam Lambert), but his album does come out on Tuesday, a week before certain other people (like Adam Lambert). Sources, referring to the above, report his response:

"I don't mind," an always modest Allen says while perched in "Idol" overlord Simon Fuller's quiet office 10 stories above the Sunset Strip. "I think that's how I went through the competition as well. I did my thing, and it worked out. And that's how I'm going to do my music career. I'm just going to do my thing, what I like to do, and hopefully it works out."

His thing now is his self-titled album, which comes out Tuesday, a week before Lambert's "For Your Entertainment" is scheduled for release. As one might expect after watching his soulful "Idol" renditions of Kanye West's "Heartless" and "Falling Slowly" from the indie musical "Once," Allen's album is filled with melodic ballads and toe-tapping rock tunes.

And if it doesn't work out, there's always telling everyone you're gay or possibly being indirectly involved in a murder. Those are always instant attention grabbers that usually lead to stardom. We'll see how it goes.

No, Not Another One

Some people never know when to quit, and one example of that is Courteney Cox and the producers of the Scream series. Apparently there's going to be a Scream 4, and she's in it. AP reports:

The 45-year-old "Cougar Town" and "Friends" star says she's excited about returning to the horror genre in "Scream 4," the upcoming slasher sequel being written by Kevin Williamson, who wrote the first two films in the popular horror trilogy. Cox met her husband, 38-year-old actor David Arquette, on the set of the first "Scream" film in 1996.

"There are really only a few of us that survived," says Cox.

Cox and Arquette will reprise their roles as overzealous reporter Gale Weathers and bumbling sheriff Dwight "Dewey" Riley in the fourth installment, along with 36-year-old actress Neve Campbell, who starred as the series' heroine, Sidney Prescott. Cox shrugged off rumors that Weathers and Dewey would be killed off at the beginning of the film.

It's like a reunion of washed up actors, hellbent on trying to revive their careers. Anyone who gets into acting should just accept that your career ends at 40 unless you're Clint Eastwood or Mel Gibson or pretty much any other actor we know who is over 40. But if you're a woman, it definitely ends at 40 unless you're Demi Moore or Jennifer Aniston or...nevermind, scratch everything I just said.

Former Miss California Could Get Millions of Dollars

...but she won't because she has morals. Vivid Entertainment is offering her a ton of cash for the rights to distribute the racy footage she took of herself for her boyfriend that ultimately cost her the prestigious crown of stupidest blond in California also known as Miss California. According to TMZ:

MZ has obtained a copy of a letter Vivid honcho Steven Hirsch sent to Prejean's lawyer, Charles Limandri. Hirsch is asking to acquire the rights to distribute "erotic footage that Carrie Prejean, former Miss California, produced for her boyfriend following their four (4) day rendezvous in February 2007." It's the same video (eight in all, along with 30 photos) that TMZ obtained but has not posted because it's just too racy.

In the letter, Hirsch tries tempting Carrie with this: "We would like to present Carrie with several options where she could certainly earn millions of dollars."

She should take it. Kim Kardashian did and look at the noble life she's leading. Cameras follow her everywhere except possibly the bathroom although it would be awesome if it followed her there too. I've never seen the show. But anyway, I would take this deal immediately. Of course no one's going to pay to see me in my bedroom under the covers, but if I was a cute blond, I'd be set.

Britney Spears is on Vacation

Here's Britney Spears looking like some trashy girl from West Virginia who won a trip to Australia on the Price is Right or Cash Explosion or some other no talent game where people scream incessantly like psychopaths. But anyway, if she would go brunette again, it would go a long way with restoring her cute, innocent image. But then again, maybe this is what she wants kinda like Richard Simmons wants the 70s gay porn star image. To each their own.

Jessica Alba at a Prada Cocktail Event

Jessica Alba spends most of her days at the park with her kid now that she's a mother, but every once in a while she shows her wild side by putting on a black dress and going to a cocktail party. She's one of the most boring hot celebrities in the world, but I guess it's better than flashing your vajay in the backseat of a car like the trashy types do. Yay for classy, boring girls!
