Neil Patrick Harris Not Planning Wedding Yet

There’s a reason I didn’t write about this. Two things some of the lazier reporting on this conveniently overlooked; Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka are not newly-engaged, they’ve been wearing engagement rings for five years but could not marry in their state; also, there was no further confirmation of a set wedding date nor plans. So, yeah, pleased as I was about gay marriage so gay readers in New York could marry, this wasn’t news. Nope. I’m going to side with Harris and post his clarification for the people who clearly didn’t bother to look at his entire timeline. Last Friday, Harris wrote to his 1.5 million followers, ‘I’d sure love to get married. Please, NY Senate, vote in favor of marriage equality today. My family would really appreciate it,’ soon followed with, ‘It PASSED! Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!! Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this!! A historic night!’ and ‘David and I did propose to each other, but over five years ago! We’ve been wearing engagement rings for ages, waiting for an available date.’ To quiet exciteble and inaccurate reports, Harris posted the above, ‘Dear media: Just because David and I will soon be able to marry in NY, doesn’t mean we are actively planning a wedding. Cart before horse.’ Word.

Kim Kardashian Went Wedding Dress Shopping

Despite claims from Wookiee, who’s clearly being fed dummy information by her own sisters in attempts to curb her murderous impulses, Kim Kardashian would appear to be getting married rather soon. It’s being claimed that she set a wedding date, which may be October 31, the date noted on her open wedding registry. Kardashian wore this fug animal print monstrosity to go wedding dress shopping with Vera Wang at the designer’s store; obviously in full view of the paparazzi, making sure to stand as close to the window as possible so their own camera crew was visible. I don’t even know what’s going on with this outfit. It’s like a onesie, I think. It’s an animal print onesie fashioned out of grandma’s fourth-fanciest tablecloth. It’s too long, to cover equally fug shoes and she’s carrying an on-trend tassel purse (I hate those). In addition to this staged trip so the world would know she’s getting a Vera Wang free in exchange for free publicity for the brand (well played), Kardashian and her fiance also took dancing classes for their wedding dance and Kris ‘Lurch’ Humphries got fitted for a suit.

Crystal Harris Admits Obvious Publicity Stunt

Crystal Harris, who somehow came off as the tackier in a PR battle with a glorified pornographer, has tried to pawn her $90,000 three-carat engagement ring. During the same failed outing to get rid of the ring at a jewellers, Harris admitted that her entire relationship and its breakdown was for publicity. Classy.

Late last week, Harris was photographed inside a San Diego store trying to sell her ring; the one Hefner let her keep along with a Bentley. The above photo, from TMZ.com, shows Harris inside Prospect Jewellers in La Jolla, CA, asking for an appraisal. She had no proof if its quality and phoned the whorehouse for more information, while on speaker. With nothing but the offer to fax information on the ring at a later time, Harris left. The person who took the picture told TMZ the store owner offered sympathy at the breakdown of Harris’ relationship, to which she is alleged to have responded ‘Are you kidding? It was all for publicity.’

Two People You Didn’t Know Dated Got Married

Daniel Craig has married Rachel Weisz. A rep for Weisz, 41, confirmed that she and Craig, 43, had a New York wedding. It was such a secret ceremony that, according to reports, most of their own family weren’t invited. The couple married in front of just four people, last week; Craig’s daughter, 18, and Weisz’s son, 4, and two friends. After nine years together, Weisz separated from Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky in November 2010. One month later, she started dating Craig. The newlyweds are co-stars in a movie released later this year.

There’ll Be A Hefner Runaway Bride Special

The special that was supposed to document the wedding of Hugh Hefner to Crystal Harris is going ahead. It’s going to instead be a special on how Harris ducked out at the last minute, in some tacky ‘Runaway Bride Special.’ So, Playboy is going to have an entire show to go along with this cover. I don’t know why they’re bothering. It’s not as though, I shouldn’t imagine, anyone’s still interested enough to watch. It’s going to be about the wedding planning and Hefner’s viewpoint, mainly, I guess, of why it was cancelled. Since the split, Harris spoke at length to Entertainment Tonight and Hefner spent nearly two whole days venting about, and making passive-aggressive remarks about, the break-up. We already know what happened and decorating this charade with Harris’ inflated dirty pillows is going to impress no one. ‘The marriage special planned for Lifetime TV is now going to have a ‘runaway bride’ theme and will air in July,’ Hefner wrote on Twitter Wednesday night. ‘Holly and Kendra were here today lending their emotional support as we shot [the special].’ It’s going to be pointless, nonsensical smoke, mirrors and half-truths if Hefner’s other tweets are about. Responding to one person, who clearly hadn’t seen reality television before, who was concerned about onscreen tension between specific playmates, he tweeted, ‘It’s a scripted [television] reality show… Holly & Jayde are friends.’

Nick Lachey Trading Down From MTV To TLC

Nick Lachey also wants to end up smelling like a five-time-divorcé. I pretty much thought, that after one failed marriage and years of breaking up with and getting back together with Vanessa Minnillo, Lachey would have more of a clue about relationships. The kind of relationships paraded around on television for no good reason that just implode spectacularly soon after. He already televised one wedding. And the whole failed marriage to Jessica Simpson was televised too. And now, because he wants to be the Ross Geller of the reality television world, he’s getting married in front of the cameras again. TLC just announced that the couple will be married in front of their cameras. According to Lachey’s brother, the wedding will be soon, maybe in the next few days. Which would be why we’re getting this news now. TLC aren’t as quick off the mark as some other channels and, by the time the wedding’s aired, in a few weeks time, leaked details and photos from snooping paparazzi will mean there’ll be no reason to watch. The show is under the working title of Nick & Vanessa’s Dream Wedding and will show footage of their wedding planning, their joint wedding shower, wedding dress shopping, and the ceremony. ‘We’re lucky to have such passionate and loving fans, and we though partnering with TLC on this special would be the best way to share the exciting journey we’re on with all the people that support us and our relationship,’ said Lachey, 37, and Minnillo, 30, in a joint statement.
