Kathryn Rogers Marries Rush Limbaugh; Elton John Performs at Couple’s Wedding!

Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh is a married man again, and outspoken gay rights advocate Elton John helped ring in his wedding to Kathryn Rogers! Elton serenaded the 400 guests into the wee hours Saturday night to celebrate the marriage of Limbaugh and Rogers at the Breakers hotel in Palm Beach, Fla. The couple met six years ago, while Kathryn Rogers, 33, was running a charity golf tournament and Rush Limbaugh, 59, was going through his third divorce. The Palm Beach Post reports that guests included Karl Rove, Fred Thompson, George Brett, Sean Hannity, Rudy Giulian, James Carville and Clarence Thomas. Elton John, however, was perhaps the most notable, given his ideological differences with Rush. Then again, his $1 million fee for the evening goes a long way. ODD COUPLE : We didn’t see this coming . A million bucks is pretty steep, but did Rush and Kathryn get a discount? Reuters says that of all wedding singers, John is among the most expensive worldwide. The music icon charges up to “$2 million for private performances, with all earnings from private concerts going to his charity, the Elton John AIDS Foundation.” Yes, his AIDS foundation. Remember last October 2009, when Limbaugh compared the disease to swine flu in the way both were being “hyped”? That crazy Rush. Or in 2007, when Limbaugh said other, equally incorrect, equally reprehensible things about AIDS? Elton John could have charged the full $2 million, you’d think. Anyway, congratulations to Rush and Kathryn Rogers ! Hopefully she sticks around the radio magnate longer than the previous three wives, and he’s feels better.

Brooke Mueller: Alive, Well, On the Red Carpet

While Charlie Sheen prepares for jail , his wife is stepping back into the spotlight. Brooke Mueller walked the red carpet last night at the ninth annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball. It was her first public appearance since Sheen allegedly held a knife to her throat on Christmas Day a few months ago. The reason for her outing this weekend? “My best friend Rebecca Gayheart and I have been a part of this charity for several years and it’s a great cause,” she said. Mueller added that her twin sons are doing “great” and that she has no summer plans. Except to hopefully do everything she can to get away from Sheen. That guy is nuts!

Lakers took Game 1 in NBA Finals

Rondo scored the first basket to open up the quarter. Then Lakers scored 8 to 4 run in the first 3 minutes of the game. Celtics tied the game with 2:50 minutes remaining in the quarter with 18 a piece. That was the last deadlock in the game. Since then, the Celtics kept coming back but didn’t get that close to take the lead. Paul Pierce finished 9 points in the quarter, 5 of them coming from the free throw. Meanwhile, Kobe Bryant had 8 points, 4 out of 4 from the charity stripe. At the end of the 1st quarter, Lakers led 26-21. Nothing much happened in the second period. Well, it was more on the Lakers in this quarter. Ron Artest, Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant with a little help from Shannon Brown to lift the Lakers to increase the lead to 9 points at the end of the quarter, 41-50 in favor of the Lakers. At the start of the second half, Kevin Garnett scored 8 points but it didn’t affect Kobe Bryant’s hot shooting, scoring 14 points in the third. Pau Gasol and Ron Artest, both with 5 points to finish the quarter. Lakers’ lead increased to 20 points. The biggest lead in the game. 84-64 at the end of the quarter in favor of the Los Angeles Lakers. In the fourth, Paul Pierce didn’t gave up. He scored 13 points but didn’t get help with his team offensively due to the smothering defense of Lakers. Lamar Odom who was scoreless in the last three quarters finally got his 5 points in the fourth period. Kobe Bryant scored the game high with 30 points, 6 assists and 7 boards. Pau Gasol finished with double double, 23 points and 14 rebounds. Boston showed some fight at the start of the fourth. Trailing by 20 points, the Celtics whittled the deficit to 85-74 after a 10-1 run. But the Lakers answered. The play that seemingly sapped the energy out of the Celtics was a block by Artest on Glen Davis, which led to a fast break for the Lakers. An easy dunk from Pau Gasol. “It was a big play for us,” Bryant said. “He (Artest) does a great job for us setting the tone for us defensively.” It was all Lakers in Game 1. There was no aggressiveness in the eyes of Boston Celtics. “We didn’t come out with that fire that we’ve been showing these playoffs,” Celtics forward Tony Allen said. “They outhustled us today. …I don’t think we took that first punch like we should have.” The most intriguing matchup was Pau Gasol and Kevin Garnett. These two went at each other. Garnett made some fallaways and finished with 16 points, But Pau Gasol didn’t back away from the challenge who finished with double double. Game 2 will be on Sunday, June 6, 2010 8PM ET at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA More Info.. Lakers took Game 1 in NBA Finals is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading

The Bachelorette Recap: 100 Percent Chance of Craig M. Being a Colossal Douche

After weeding out the total nut jobs on The Bachelorette season premiere, Ali Fedotowsky got down to business last night and actually went on dates with the guys. Not to say some loons didn’t make it through week one to spark more drama, particularly between scary Craig M. and meek weatherman Jonathan. What went down? THG breaks down all the action below in its plus-minus index … Ali and Frank’s date features their vintage car breaking down on a jam-packed freeway. That would be pretty hard for the producers to stage, at least. Plus 3 . As they go up to the Hollywood sign, Frank acts as if Ali ganked a key from someone and the producers didn’t somehow arrange all this ahead of time. Plus 4 . On Hollywood Blvd., people flock for autographs and pictures with them. Did ABC plant those “fans”? Are people really that obsessed with celebrities that they will fawn all over … Ali Fedotowsky ? Either way, it’s worthy of at least Minus 10 . A GOOD CHOICE : The guys salivate over Ali. It’s easy to see why . On second thought, when the group date guys (and viewers) get a look at Ali on the beach in Malibu, maybe the blatant ogling makes a little more sense. Plus 20 . Ty, reading the group date card: “Jonathan … is NOT going.” Plus 4 . Craig M. altercation #1: He needles Jesse relentlessly, only to be shut down when Jesse says: “I don’t talk $h!t, I just hit.” Craig M.: “Huge rebuttal.” Minus 5 . The group date is a photo shoot for a Men of The Bachelorette calendar for charity. With a few exceptions … well, let’s just say we feel for the charity. Minus 6 . The Weatherman is way, way too nervous about a Speedo. Minus 7 . Ty confesses that he was married before. He plays guitar for Ali because his ex-wife never wanted to listen to it. The male Tenley Molzahn, everybody! Plus 5 . Craig R. goes after Justin Rego, who he says lied by omission when he didn’t reveal he’s a pro wrestler. We’re not big Rated R fans ourselves, given what The Bachelorette spoilers indicate he does to Ali, but lay off, Craig! The guy’s on crutches! Minus 8 . STORMY WEATHER : Jonathan Novack may be a tad whiny, but we’re totally in his corner when it comes to the feud with Craig M. Fortunately, Ali made the right choice, too. Craig M. altercation #2: Ripping on Jonathan continuously and for no reason. He rats her out to Ali as “dangerous.” D!ck move, but Craig had it coming, so … Wash . For Jesse’s solo date, they jet off to Las Vegas. Plus 6 , ’cause while not a master of conversation, he gets a bit of a bad rap, as he seems nice and honest enough. Chris Lambton is sad he didn’t get a date, but he and Ali bond at the cocktail party over being from Massachusetts. We’ve got a good feeling about him. Plus 11 . Roberto Martinez, similarly, pays Ali many compliments and they seem smitten. He and Chris were small players this week, but are the main contenders. Plus 5 . Minus 4 for the dudes creepin’ in the background though. Subtle, fellas. Craig M. altercation #3: He accosts Jonathan, who, rather than lying or coming clean, says it doesn’t matter who outed him, further angering the sociopath. Minus 5 . Fortunately, Craig M. got the boot. Plus 10 , because while troublemakers are usually entertaining, this egomaniac meathead is just a complete waste of oxygen. TOTAL: +13 . SEASON: +21 . Roses : Frank, Jesse and Ty (won on dates earlier in the night), Kasey, Hunter, Roberto, Chris L., Justin, Steve, Kirk, John C., Craig R., Chris N. and Jonathan. Out : Tyler V., Craig M. and Chris H.

Bret Michaels Named Celebrity Apprentice Winner

How do you upstage one of the most buzzed-about series finales in TV history? By airing a reality show competition that features an ailing rock star who was rushed to the hospital with a brain hemorrhage a month ago. Such was the position Doald Trump found himself in last night. Bret Michaels, on the mend from last week’s stroke and preparing for surgery to repair a hole in his heart, appeared on the live Celebrity Apprentice final and took up the task of creating a new flavor for Snapple. As soon as he showed up, opponent Holly Robinson-Peete never stood a chance. Thanks to his creation of Trop-A-Rocka Blend, Bret was named this season’s winner, assuring the American Diabetes Association (his chosen charity) of $250,000. Despite her second-place finish, Peete received the same amount for her charity, the HollyRod Foundation, which supports those with autism. Both flavors of Snapple tea are on sale for a limited time, with proceeds going to support these causes. Congratulations, Bret. To celebrate, please go home and rest. Sheesh!
