Couple are planning a ‘big party’ to follow family-only ceremony. By Kara Warner Lily Aldridge and Caleb Followill Photo: Getty Images It wasn’t the heavily hyped, hours-long event that was the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, but on Thursday, a King married his queen. Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill married Victoria’s Secret model Lily Aldridge early Thursday evening at an intimate ceremony held at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California. According to People magazine, the couple exchanged vows before an audience of only family members at 5:30 p.m. but have plans to celebrate their nuptials by way of a “big party” at a later date. “It was a perfect day,” Followill said of the event. Followill, 29, met Aldridge, 25, when she appeared in the band’s video for “Use Somebody.” The couple had been together for more than two years when Followill popped the question last September. The magazine also reported that the bride wore a custom-made strapless Vera Wang gown with layers of chantilly and corded lace appliqu
‘I guess he just wanted to clear the air on some past things that don’t mean anything today,’ Nas says of Prodigy’s post-jail phone call. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Nas Photo: MTV News The relationship between Queens rappers Prodigy and Nas has had its fair share of ups and downs. There have been collaborations and dis records over the years, and in the new book “My Infamous Life,” Mobb Deep’s Prodigy touched on his relationship with God’s Son, starting with the first time they met during a battle in New York’s Queensbridge housing project. In a recent interview, Prodigy told MTV News how he called Nas to make peace after he was released from his three-year prison bid this past March. During an exclusive sit-down with Sway, the Illmatic rapper spoke about P’s call. “He called me as soon as he got out of jail; he got in touch with me. We talked about some things,” Nas said. “I didn’t know he had a book. He didn’t tell me that. I guess he just wanted to clear the air on some past things that don’t mean anything today.” After patching things up, Nas agreed to collaborate with Prodigy on the Mobb Deep record “Dog Sh–,” which was leaked onto the Internet in April. “I just jumped on the record; put that to the past or whatever ill feelings he had towards me,” Nas told Sway. “I think he was misinformed about things, like I was a negative guy or like I was trying to harm him in any kind of way. I think maybe he just grew up a little bit.” Prodigy was proud to continue the Nas/ Mobb Deep legacy. “When we make songs together, man, it’s another level, it’s incredible music. It just gives you that feeling, like nostalgia almost,” Prodigy said of the Mobb and Nas’ past collaborations. “The music is just real powerful when Mobb Deep and Nas work together. So I said, ‘We gotta keep that feeling going, man. We would be fools to stop doing that because of whatever petty bullsh– that was going on.’ ” With “Dog Sh–” in the can, Nas wasn’t sure if and when any more Mobb Deep collaborations would surface. “At the moment, I just got back into the studio, and my focus right now has been just starting to work on the album, so who knows?” he said. As far as Prodigy’s book, Esco didn’t even know it existed, though he is mentioned in it quite a bit. While Prodigy insists that all of his accounts of Nas were in a positive light, the QB MC doesn’t seemed bothered either way and gave general advice for any would-be authors. “Tell the truth if you’re gonna write a book. Tell the truth to the best of your ability, that’s all I would say to anybody. Just tell the truth,” he said. “Do what you wanna do, I had books written about me before, and it is what it is.” Are you glad Nas and Mobb Deep have put the past behind them?

Oprah has admitted that she regrets launching her OWN television network before ending her talk show, claiming she hasn’t dedicated enough time to the channel because she’s focused on rounding up her talk show of 25 years the right way. She recently told Entertainment Weekly, “I’ve thought maybe it would have been better to wait until [Oprah] completely ended and then literally use it as a launch pad. If I had it to do differently and had thought of that option, I might have considered that a priority. But I don’t spend a lot of time in the regret mode.” “I feel like I have not begun to give anything to OWN. I was on the phone yesterday with the head of OWN probably for 20 minutes, and then I was on another phone call for an hour, so I probably gave OWN and hour and 20 minutes yesterday. Not enough. Not enough. And I hadn’t talked to anybody for two or three days there. “Doing this right and ending [Oprah] is a full-time job. And the magazine is a full-time job, but that’s its own machine now. I don’t have to a lot with that anymore. But I still have to check in, approve things. I wouldn’t even say 10 percent of my time is on OWN right now. But it will be. [After the end of Oprah] I can start to give my attention to OWN that it deserves. It’s going to improve exponentially with the amount of time and service I can give to it.” Oprah’s “O” Magazine Cover Goes Back In Time To 1986 [PHOTO] Oprah To Charge $1 Million For Commercial On Show Finale Oprah’s Secret Diaries Reveal She Wanted “To Die” Over Relationship
The latest issue of Oprah’s O magazine features two covers: one of the host taping her first show in 1986, and the other, more recent, boasting a big “Thank You!” headline. Inside, she talks about the beginning stages of the legendary show and what it’s legacy will be. On the beginning: “The first few years when the staff was still less than 12 people, I used to hang out with them because we were doing live shows, and we’d be done by 10 a.m. We had four people in four chairs, and that was it. Those were the days where I’d be the one taking the lunch order. I would walk around asking, ‘Okay, is it gonna be Taco Bell today, or are we doing Wendy’s?’ And then we’d go out and party at night.” On the end: “I genuinely feel appreciated and loved by this audience that has grown up with me. Which, for me, is a huge, huge, huge accomplishment. Because I grew up feeling the opposite of that. Feeling a void, as a little girl, feeling that really nobody loved me. So to be surrounded by this, that is what I’m going to feel. And when you see the tears on the last show, that’s what those tears will be about. Those tears will not be about sadness.” On what she’s taking with her when she goes: “The one thing I’ll take is the statue of Sojourner Truth that Jamie Foxx gave me for my birthday last year…Even in my youth, she was the historical figure I most identified with. Because even though she was born a slave, she was able to speak. She could communicate with people from all different backgrounds. She could speak to the most disenfranchised groups, and she could also speak to Congress. She was invited to the White House by Lincoln. Jamie didn’t know that I’d been reciting her “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech my whole life, or that when I die, I want to go out like a comet in the sky, which is something she said about her own life. But he gave me that statue, and it will come with me when I go.” Oprah To Charge $1 Million For Commercial On Show Finale Oprah’s Secret Diaries Reveal She Wanted “To Die” Over Relationship

Just like Snooki, JWoww and Pauly D … Mike has signed a “series development deal” with the network for an unnamed project … a.k.a. reality show. It’s unclear what a Situation spinoff will consist of, but it’s a safe bet there will be lots of GTL, STDs and third-person nickname references involved. Mike said in a statement: “I’m excited to continue my relationship with MTV … Hopefully, there will be plenty more situations in the future.” What a douche.
