While fans were hitting up the movie theaters this weekend to see his film “50/50,” Rogen was busy marrying his longtime lady love, Lauren Miller. People.com reports that a number of Rogen’s pals and former co-stars, including Jonah Hill, Adam Sandler and Paul Rudd, attended the California ceremony on Saturday. The pair married in Sonoma in a location overlooking a nearby vineyard. A female rabbi married the pair with other friends like “Knocked Up” director Judd Apatow, his actress wife Leslie Mann and “The Office” star Craig Robinson in attendance. After the pair tied the knot they reportedly drove off in a convertible to another location for the A-list reception. A source tells Usmagazine.com that “the wedding was more laughs than anything else. Every other line was a joke and the crowd couldn’t contain their laughter. It was nonstop fun!” The festivities reportedly took place over three days. Rogen’s cancer dramedy, “50/50,” co-starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, opened on Friday and came in at a solid #4, right behind “Dolphin Tale” (#1), “Moneyball” (#2) and “The Lion King” (#3). Rogen and his writer bride met back in 2004 when he was a writer on “Da Ali G Show.” When he was on “Conan” last November he opened up about popping the question to Miller a couple months before, in September. “Literally, I felt like someone had given me like a truckload of heroin to hold onto, I felt like the feds were going to kick in my door at any second,” he said of buying the engagement ring. “I couldn’t have a conversation with my girlfriend. All I could think of was this ring. Like, ‘Don’t say ‘Lord of the Rings’! Don’t mention anything about a ring!” He joked that the proposal wasn’t perfect: He did it while she was dressing. “I didn’t picture it like this, and I know she didn’t picture it like this,” he recalled. “No little girl is like ‘It’ll happen in a closet with my [chest] out.’ ” Leave your well-wishes for the couple in the comments below!

Name The Cakes-In-A-Cut-Out-Dress

This broad is no stranger to tackiness or half-nekkidness. But somehow, she made this one work… Maybe because she is an absolute BANGER. Can you name these cakes? Yes, your girl Ciara found a brand new way to rock as little clothing as possible to the Black Eyed Peas & Friends Peapod Benefit Concert. Are you feeling her cut out steez? A few other people showed to this event looking super busted. We’re gonna say any names though (Bobby Brown and Cedric The Entertainer).

‘VH1 Hip Hop Honors’ To Give Dirty South Its Props

Drake, Rick Ross, Diddy, Gucci Mane among rappers performing tributes on the show. By Shaheem Reid Drake Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images “VH1 Hip Hop Honors: The Dirty South” promises fans energetic performances by some of rap’s all-time greats, when the latest installment in the tribute series airs Monday night (June 7). This year’s show is dedicated to hip-hop originating from down bottom: Luther Campbell and his Miami group the 2 Live Crew; producers Jermaine Dupri, Organized Noize and Timbaland; J. Prince and the Houston-based Rap-A-Lot music empire; and Master P and the No Limit soldiers who turned New Orleans on its ear. “Tonight is gonna be historical,” DJ Khaled told MTV News last week as the show taped at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom. “To be a part of a historical moment like this … I been with [Rick] Ross, I seen Bun B, I seen Luke. I seen Pitbull, Trina, Goodie Mob. Just the rehearsal alone, I had goose bumps. This is big for the South — this is big for music period.” Among the acts honoring this year’s class are Khaled and Ross, Paul Wall, Lil Jon, Drake, Trina, Pitbull, Nelly and the St. Lunatics, as well as Diddy and Gucci Mane. Meanwhile, T.I. and Jonah Hill participated as presenters; Craig Robinson hosts. “Just being in jail three weeks ago, that was so big for me,” Gucci told Miss Info about his involvement in the ceremony. “No pressure. Everything is downhill from there,” he told the media personality. “Nothing bigger than … getting your freedom back. I don’t have nothing to prove.” During rehearsals last week, Silkk the Shocker said he was proud of what his brother, Master P, had accomplished . “With me, first of all, shouts out to him, ’cause I got to see greatness for a long time,” Silkk said. “It’s very good to finally see him get honored for it. And then, I think a lot of people out there also appreciate what he’s done. I perform all the time, but to actually perform and give back to him and show him what he means to us, that’s amazing for me.” P told MTV News that one of his greatest contributions was selling so many records without the backing of a major label. “When it comes down to putting out records, people are afraid. They say, ‘I don’t want to put out too many records,’ ” P explained of the conventional rationale. “My thing was, with No Limit, when you’re hot, you’re hot, you give ’em whatever you can give ’em. That’s what I teach my family: When you got ’em, give it to ’em, ’cause when you got a fanbase, feed that fanbase. There’s no such thing as too much music. We accomplished something that nobody did, to be able to sell 75 million records independently and to be honored for hip-hop is a blessing and lets you know we been dong the right thing.” Some of the can’t-miss moments on this year’s “Hip Hop Honors” are Bow Wow dressed up like Kris Kross to perform the JD-produced classic “Jump,” and the lively return of Mystikal during P’s “Make ‘Em Say Ugh.” Whose set are you most looking forward to?

Rick Ross, T.I., Drake Rep The Dirty South At ‘VH1 Hip Hop Honors’

Timbaland, Lil Jon, Paul Wall and others also performed at the event, which airs Monday on VH1. By Jayson Rodriguez Rick Ross Photo: Getty Images NEW YORK — “VH1 Hip Hop Honors: The Dirty South” might have represented Atlanta, Texas, Miami, New Orleans and everywhere in between, but all points were a unified front for the event Thursday night (June 3) at the Hammerstein Ballroom. “I always say the East Coast is one piece of bread, and the West Coast is another piece of bread,” honoree J. Prince of Rap-a-Lot Records said during the tribute. “And the South is the meat. I describe it that way, ’cause everyone has roots in the South.” Drake, Bun B, the Game, Juvenile and the Geto Boys’ Willie D all performed as a part of the Rap-a-Lot set. Drake paid homage to the late Pimp C as he and Bun joined forces for “Get Throwed.” “Office” actor Craig Robinson replaced Tracy Morgan as host of the festivities, and with the help of Lil Jon and Paul Wall, he received a Southern makeover. “You got to put your money where your mouth is,” Jon told the host, as Paul Wall “DDS” presented Robinson with grillz. Jon and Wall scored plenty of laughs throughout the night via a series of sketches. In one, the pair attempted to dole out directions to a bystander, but the combination of slang (“slabs” and “shawty”) left him confused. Paul Wall also put in time onstage as he, Chamillionaire and Slim Thug were part of the Texas tribute. The Lone Star State, Miami and Atlanta were all recognized, in addition to official honorees Master P, Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri, J. Prince, Luther Campbell and 2 Live Crew, and Outkast producers Organized Noize. JD’s set rivaled the Rap-a-Lot tribute for the highlight of the evening. The producer brought out Dem Franchize Boyz, Diddy and Bow Wow, who brought fans to their feet when he rose from the audience with his clothes on backward, in honor of Kris Kross. ” ‘Cause inside-out is wiggity wiggity wack,” he rapped. Uncle Luke suffered through technical difficulties during the 2 Live Crew set. Mannie Fresh helped keep things moving throughout the delay, shouting out Tony Draper and his pioneering company Suave House Records. Master P’s tribute went through without a hitch. His son Romeo, brother Silkk the Shocker, Trina and Mystikal hit the stage to pay homage. Mystikal was a frenetic force of energy, as he and Romeo performed P’s breakout hit “Make ‘Em Say Ugh.” Gucci Mane, T.I., Bone Crusher, DJ Drama and the Ying Yang twins honored Atlanta, while Trick Daddy, Pitbull, Flo Rida, and Trina repped for Miami. Rick Ross and DJ Khaled proved to be showstoppers as the pair put on mink coats for the Boss’ latest single, “Super High.” Producer Timbaland and Organized Noize brought out a bevy of guest to celebrate their discography, from Fabolous and Keri Hilson to Nelly and Asher Roth. “VH1 Hip Hop Honors: The Dirty South” airs Monday at 9 p.m. on VH1.
