LOL it's so awesome. Glad someone took the bait. If you read back "Al" talks about a road trip to Vegas with Bill Clinton and John Edwards that is flat-out hysterical. But mostly "Al" sits in front of the TV and cries in his underwear. And follows fast-food joints on Twitter. So classic. Favorite Tweet: Anthropomorphizing our fragile ecosystem does little to stress the dangers--listen to me! Flirting like a teenager.

Just married! Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart tied the knot in Santa Fe, New Mexico on Tuesday, the actress' rep confirms to UsMagazine.com. The ceremony took place at the Governor's mansion, where Governor Bill Richardson officiated, the rep added. (Harrison is currently filming the sci-fi western Cowboys and Aliens in the state.)

Fortunately for Harrison Ford, it doesn't cost much to feed Calista.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden was married today. Her husband is a business owner who was her fitness trainer. Here is a huge slew of photos from the wedding - strangely I didn't see a representative of the British royal family. Victoria looks absolutely over the moon and relaxed at the same time. (I'm interested in the history of the crown/tiara she is wearing) 220 photos of the wedding and parties leading up to it

"More information about Crown Princess Victoria's ensemble: The dress is made of cream-coloured duchess silk satin with short sleeves and a turned-out collar following a rounded neckline. The dress has a v-shaped back with covered buttons and the sash at the waist is buttoned up at the back. The five-metre train is edged with a border fastened at the waist and matches the shape of the veil. The shoes are made with the same fabric as the dress. As for the tiara, it was also worn by her mother at her wedding on June 19th, 1976. The tradition began with her aunt, Princess Birgitta, the first of her aunts to marry in 1961 to Princess Johann Georg of Hohenzollern. Another aunt, Princess Désirée, wore the same tiara when she married Baron Niclas Silverschiöld in 1964. The tiara was probably a gift from Napoleon to his wife, Empress Josephine, in 1809. The tiara was bequeathed to her granddaughter Josefina in 1823, who became the Crown Princess of Sweden when she married Crown Prince Oscar in 1823. Victoria's grandmother, Princess Sibylla, received the tiara when she married Princess Gustaf Adolf in 1932. The veil is her great-great grandmother Queen Sophia's lace veil that was worn at her parents' wedding, which was also worn by her grandmother Princess Sibylla at her wedding. The veil has also made an appearance at the weddings of her aunts, Princesses Désirée, Margaretha in 1964 and Christina in 1974." The Swedish Liveblog of the Royal Wedding

Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex were the British royal family representatives at the wedding. Strange. It's the future Queen of Sweden's wedding, she is a relative, and they send the junior-est member of the family? This should have been Prince Phillip and Camilla's appearance to make. Maybe they were all too busy at Ascot or something.

I assume you mean Prince Charles and Camilla unless there is something going on that I don't know about.

Interesting. Warren Beatty and Annette Bening's 18 year old daughter Kathlyn is having sex reassignment surgery to become a man. Kathlyn now goes by Stephen.

Yup, I meant Prince Charles sorry bout that. Apparently Victoria's father was extremely unhappy with the match and wanted her to marry a royal (Daniel was long-haired and rough around the edges when they first started dating and he has a rural accent), but when he realized that Victoria was prepared to defy his wishes he got with the program and hired a slew of courtiers to bring Daniel up to speed on etiquette, protocol, languages and history. Smart daddy, his daughter couldn't look happier. Tish, I first heard rumblings about Stephen a few years ago and I think the general consensus among the press was to leave it be because he was so young and clearly going through a great struggle. I wish they'd continue leaving it that way, the kid has never sought out publicity, was always shielded by his parents and there are VERY few photographs of him in circulation.

I think I have a new favorite 'possibly daft' royal:
This is Mabel, Princess of Orange-Nassau. She is married to the second son of Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands. Her husband, Prince Friso, renounced his place in succession to the throne (second) in order to marry her (her mob ties I guess caused quite a stir). Anyway, it's her fashion statement that got my attention. I'm not sure a royal wedding is the best place to get all Victor/Victoria with your appearance.

Thanks, GaL, for the link to the wedding photos. I knew nothing about Crown Princess Victoria. She's so pretty and looks extremely happy. Her hubby looks a little nerdy, so I was surprised to learn that he'd had long hair a few years ago. What a turnaround! Hope they'll be very happy.

I HATE it when people get born into the wrong gender (I am perfectly serious here; it happens, and is a mistake of nature, and nature very rarely makes mistakes). Generally those people live such tortured lives that many of them commit suicide as teenagers. It is, therefore, a credit to the celebrity parents if their teenager is still alive and able to get the surgery he needs.
