Jessica Simpson’s best friend and former personal assistant Cacee Cobb is now a married woman! The lucky man is Donald Faison of Scrubs fame. They took the plunge Saturday at a private house in Los Angeles. Cacee is the godmother of Jessica Simpson ‘s baby girl Maxwell, and probably will serve in the same capacity for her second baby about six months from now. Jessica served as a bridesmaid in Cobb’s wedding, naturally, and was escorted down the aisle by Faison’s own best friend and Scrubs costar Zach Braff. A source tells E! that Cacee looked gorgeous with her blonde hair in loose waves. She said “I do” to Donald Faison in front of 75 friends and family members. The ceremony, which took place under a tent with white-twinkling lights and a gospel choir, was a short-and-sweet 20 minutes that was filled with laughter. Congrats to the couple! Cacee will no doubt be in Jessica’s wedding someday, if she and Eric Johnson stop getting pregnant long enough to have one!

The nurse in the Kate Middleton hoax may have hanged herself in part because the hospital came down on her very hard after falling for the infamous prank call. TMZ, via the Daily Mail, claims that in one of her three suicide notes , Jacintha Saldanha was critical of the London hospital for the treatment she received. The story does not explicitly state that this treatment is connected to the hoax. It appears to be the case, however, given one of the other suicide notes, which describes how she tried to cope with the fallout due to the Kate Middleton prank call . The story has raised a new round of questions surrounding the tragic case, which unraveled last week after Kate was hospitalized with acute morning sickness. The parties responsible for the prank played a role in the nurse’s death – and are keenly aware of and devastated by that fact – but there are other factors to consider. Did her superiors come down on her hard after the hoax, in which two Sydney DJs impersonated the Queen and Prince Charles, inquiring about Kate’s health? Could their reaction have impacted or changed the events that followed? A hospital spokesperson claims hospital management was supportive of Saldanha, but they are not privy to what Jacintha Saldanha wrote in the notes. As for the third note, the report claims the nurse, a married mother of two, laid out plans for her funeral. She then killes herself, reportedly via hanging. She was 46.
A disturbing, shameless, yet kind of hilarious new tabloid report claims the infamous 1994 O.J. Simpson murders were actually caught on video. Yes, the National Enquirer claims it has video from O.J.’s ALLEGED (totally real) slayings of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. On the one hand, the Enquirer reached a new low with this one. On the other hand … admit it, you kinda wanna read this, right? How on earth this celebrity news (term used beyond loosely, like Lindsay Lohan loosely) publication keeps going back to the OJ well, we have no idea. Perhaps because we’re all still curious HOW the Juice did it. No, we couldn’t bring ourselves to buy If I Did It and who knows if that was even true. Or maybe Glen Rogers did it like he claims. Just kidding. It was all O.J. But what if a video truly caught him in the act? How incredible would that be? Obviously the tape would’ve been found in the past 18 YEARS. Still. In other Enquirer news, Macaulay Culkin attempted suicide and Lindsay Lohan is heading to the mental ward. Those are actually far more believable.
President Barack Obama commented today on new state laws that legalized marijuana in Colorado and Washington saying the U.S. won’t pursue pot users there. Following the November votes in those states, the Justice Department reiterated that marijuana remains illegal under federal law, worrying legalization advocates. Obama had been vague on what the federal government’s specific response would be. In an interview with Barbara Walters Friday, however, he said: “It does not make sense from a prioritization point of view” to focus on drug use where it is now legal. “We’ve got bigger fish to fry ,” the newly-reelected president added. Marijuana activists were relieved at Obama’s comments, but still had many questions. They said even if individual users aren’t charged, marijuana producers and sellers could be subject to prosecution, civil forfeiture and other legal roadblocks. Obama also didn’t specifically address how the U.S. government would respond to state officials in Washington and Colorado and their efforts to implement this. Those officials are now tasked with coming up with regulations for legal pot sales. Obama simply told Walters that “recreational users” are not a “top priority.” “There’s some signal of hope,” Alison Holcomb, who led Washington’s legalization drive, said. “I think it’s correct that we ultimately we need a legislative resolution.” But Tom Angell of Marijuana Majority said Obama’s comment isn’t anything new, and he could use executive power to reclassify marijuana as a legal drug. In recent years, federal prosecutors haven’t targeted users in the 18 states and Washington, D.C. that allow people to use marijuana for medical reasons. However, agents have cracked down on many dispensaries in some of those states. In any event, thanks to statewide ballot measures, possession of up to an ounce of marijuana is now legal for adults over 21 in both Washington and Colorado. Washington’s Liquor Control Board, which has been regulating alcohol for 78 years, now has a year to adopt rules for the fledgling pot industry. Should marijuana be legalized? Yes No Maybe View Poll »
