Bridezilla’s Bizarre Demands Go Viral: Don’t Talk to Me and Don’t You DARE Wear Makeup!

A reddit user by the name of Laika_cat posted a redacted screencap of a truly ridiculous email. In the email, which was allegedly written by a wedding coordinator, guests are givena  list of demands. A few of them are totally normal — don't wear white, please let us know if you're bringing a plus one. That's all fine and not what has everyone so bewildered. No, the bride is demanding that anyone invited bring a gift of sufficient value if they want to be admitted. And she's also laying down the law about what guests can do, from social media activity to what they drink to how they can do their hair and makeup. Technically, the email is purportedly from the wedding coordinator, but a number of clues make people believe that the bride wrote it herself. Take a look at what true absurdity looks like and ask yourself if you would even bother attending. 1. It starts off normally enough Like we said, it is widely doubted that the wedding coordinator came up with this list — or even wrote it. 2. This question is reasonable This matters for seating layouts and for food preparation. But this question comes before the list. 3. Oh boy, here we go Asking people to show up early is fine. And avoiding white or anything close is considered polite. 4. This is where it gets controlling Now this person is telling people how to wear their own hair and how to do their makeup? It sounds like the bride is terrified of being outshone. 5. She doesn’t just want to control your looks, but your behavior That … is not how you spell ceremony. And while including a tag for an event is standard, the demand that people not check in on social media is weird. 6. This is our favorite one What does this mean? Do not speak to the bride? This is like a list of demands for a major prima donna actress … except she’s making them of people who are presumably family and friends. Who DOESN’T want to talk to their friends? View Slideshow

Bill Cosby: Headed to Prison For 10 YEARS Following Rape Conviction?

It’s been five months since Bill Cosby was found guilty of raping Andrea Constand in 2004. Today, a sentencing hearing for the disgraced comedy legend began, and while it looks increasingly likely that Cosby will  go to prison for his crimes, many feel that the 81-year-old will likely escape with a much lighter sentence than he deserves. In a Pennsylvania courtroom today, prosecutor Kevin Steele implored a sentencing judge to throw the book at Cosby with 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine for the crime of drugging and sexually assaulting Constand. “This is about a person who put himself in a situation of being a mentor,” Steele told the court. “We know he had other intentions right from the beginning: What he saw in Andrea the first time he laid eyes on her, what his plan was,” he continued. “He used his fame. He doesn’t recognize that it’s wrong to drug somebody and sexually assault them.” Those present in the courtroom described Steele as “very emotional” noting that the prosecutor was “almost crying” during his closing statements. Cosby’s victim also addressed the court, providing a brief statement in what one observer described as a clear, unemotional voice: “I have testified, I have given you my victim impact statement. You heard me, the jury heard me and Mr. Cosby heard me,” Constand said. “All I’m asking for is justice as the court sees fit.” Sentencing has been delayed until at least Tuesday due to the absence of a defense witness who was unable to testify today, but we already have a rough idea of what’s in store for Cosby. While the TV personality who was once dubbed “America’s dad” could face up to 30 years in prison, the judge in his case informed the courtroom today that Cosby will not serve a sentence of longer than three years. Sources connected to the case are said to be outraged by the judge’s determination and believe it to be the result of the defense’s assertion that Cosby is too old and infirm to represent a threat to the public. We will have further details on this developing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Bill Cosby Sex Scandal: What Led to His Arrest

Britney Spears and Charlie Ebersol to Marry in Vegas?

Britney Spears recently said she puts God first . But a new report claims the singer may be saying two very different words in the near future: I DO . View Slideshow: Britney Spears and Charlie Ebersol Photos: So in Love! According to Life & Style, the pop star and her music producer boyfriend of eight months may very well exchange vows in Las Vegas some time this year. “They talk about getting married all the time,” an insider tells the tabloid of Spears and Ebersol . “Britney has never been happier than she is now with Charlie!” It’s true: Spears has said she would love to marry Ebersol . The source adds that Britney is just looking for a “simple but memorable” ceremony and reception, with guests limited to good friends and close family members. And because the singer’s Las Vegas residency just got extended until 2017, the couple is “mulling another quickie Vegas wedding,” the magazine writes. Why another ? Because Britney got hitched in 2004 to Jason Alexander, a marriage that got annulled after 55 hours. This time, though, let’s hope the speed factor relates to the time of the ceremony, not the duration of the union. View Slideshow: 19 Shortest Celebrity Marriages

Justin Bieber Pleads Guilty to Riding (ATV Recklessly with) Selena Gomez via Skype

Maligned pop star and wannabe bad boy Justin Bieber pleaded guilty in a Canadian courtroom today to riding dirty with Selena Gomez. On an ATV that he crashed into a minivan, that is. The 21-year-old appeared in a court via Skype. TMZ reports that the alleged musician was with Howard Weitzman, his lawyer, in his office as he pleaded guilty to assault and careless driving. The incident went down in Ontario last year. Justin crashed his ATV into the minivan of a celebrity news photographer, who was taking some hot pics of Bieber and Selena Gomez riding. The judge warned Bieber , as countless others have in recent years: “The lesson in all of this is to think before you act in the future.” Don’t hold your breath, judge. The plea deal was a win for Justin, who was slapped with a $750 fine and no jail or probation. One step closer to that clean slate he talks about. His mom, Pattie Mallette , must be thrilled … not because of the sweet plea deal, but because it will remind her of those happier Jelena times. Those happy, grinding times.

Barry Bonds Found Guilty in Steroids Trial

All-time home run leader Barry Bonds and his enormous head were convicted in a Los Angeles courtroom today of obstruction of justice, as it was determined he lied to a grand jury about using steroids and human growth hormone. The former San Franciso Giants star revealed no emotion after the verdict, which followed four days of deliberation. The jury was deadlocked on a trio of other charges. The case stemmed from a testimony Bonds gave in 2003, during which he denied knowledge of ever receiving performance-enhancing drugs from a Bay Area lab and claimed he had no idea that personal trainer Greg Anderson injected him with anything illegal. Major League Baseball’s Mitchell Report, however, listed over 100 names of individuals who had failed drugs tests. Bonds was among them. Federal sentencing guidelines now recommend he serve 15 to 21 months in prison, but the disgraced slugger will likely be related to home confinement instead. [Photo: Associated Press]
