Popular presenter Jimmy Kimmel gatecrashed a couple’s wedding in Las Vegas and took singer Celine Dion and actor David Spade along for an unforgettable ceremony.
Kimmel on Friday concluded his week of broadcasts at Planet Hollywood by interrupting the nuptials of Kate and Jason which were taking place in a nearby chapel.
AS Kimmel presided, via TV link, over the ceremony, Spade was seen taking pre-wedding toast shots.
The biggest surprise for the newlyweds came, however, when Celine Dion walked in as their wedding singer and performed her hit Because You Loved Me.
Nipsey HussleMemorial Service Thursday at Staples Center
4/6/2019 1:00 AM PDT
EXCLUSIVE
The family of slain rapper Nipsey Hussle will give him a spectacular memorial service at the gold standard for L.A. venues -- The Staples Center ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us, the service will take place Thursday morning at the 21,000 seat venue. We're told tickets will be sold for the event through a website. Only ticket holders will gain admission.
Our sources say there was a meeting Wednesday with Nipsey's family and honchos from Staples. LAPD officials were also present in the meeting to help plan logistics and security for the event.
It's a massive undertaking to plan such a major event in less than a week. Staging equipment must be rented, and the rental companies have already been contacted. We've learned ushers who work Staples have already been asked to reserve the day.
The turnaround for the venue will also be quick -- the final Clippers game for the regular season is the night before.
Staples has a history of serving as the backdrop for many of the biggest events in Hollywood. As you know, the Michael Jackson memorial was held there in 2009.
People around the world are keeping their eyes closely fixated on Meghan Markle’s baby bump, as she could go into labor any day now. The arrival of Baby Sussex is probably the most anticipated birth of 2019, and the entire world will go into a frenzy when it finally happens.
With royal betters and fans speculating on the baby’s gender, birth weight, and even what color hair he or she is likely to have, we know for sure that everyone can’t wait to find out what name Meghan and Prince Harry will ultimately choose.
Kate Middleton and Prince William gave all three of their children traditional royal names that didn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone. So, why is it that Meghan and Harry are having a harder time choosing a name for their new son or daughter?
The name doesn’t necessarily need to be traditional
With so many people offering up suggestions for a traditional name, we may have almost forgotten that the name of Baby Sussex does not need to be! Fans are speculating names such as Elizabeth, Alice, Diana, or Philip.
While any of those names would be absolutely lovely, we should keep in mind that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can be a little more traditional with the name that they end up choosing! Perhaps they’d prefer a more modern name, such a Taylor for a girl or Noah for a boy. How adorable would either of those be?
Meghan and Harry will choose a name that is common in England and America
We also must keep in mind the fact that Meghan is from the United States, so the new baby will need a moniker that can be easily pronounced in both countries! While British names such as Philipa, Freya, or Amelia would be great, a name like that would most likely be often mispronounced in America.
Meghan and Harry are going to want to make sure that they pick a name that both American and British people will be able to pronounce properly.
What names are in the running?
While Meghan and Harry haven’t made any official announcements as to which names they are considering, we are sure that they are spending a great deal of time choosing one. Royal betters are going wild, with people putting odds on names such as Victoria, Mary, Alexandra, and even Elizabeth should the baby be a girl, and Alexander, James, or Albert should Meghan give birth to a baby boy.
Other names that the royal couple may be thinking about? Well, we can all remember when a young fan suggested the name Amy for a girl! Perhaps they will choose to honor Meghan’s mother, and call a baby girl Doria. Or, if they welcome a new baby boy, they may choose to call him Spencer, which is Princess Diana’s last name.
Why are Harry and Meghan having a harder time choosing a name?
When we think back to the three times that Kate Middleton was expecting a baby, we will remember that while there were odds being given, it didn’t seem to be so difficult for Kate and William to chose a name. This is because as the future king and queen, they were expected to give their baby a very traditional royal name.
Harry and Meghan, on the other hand, have a little more freedom when choosing a name. Their options are not nearly as limited, and they are even free to be a little creative if they would like! Only time will tell which name the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will decide on for their new arrival, but whatever it is, we are sure to love it!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are brand new to the Instagram world — sort of. They previously were a part of the Kensington Palace account, but since they split households with Prince William and Kate Middleton, they now have their own official Instagram. However, one person has a major complaint about the couple’s new page — and he’s not wrong for being mad.

Meghan and Harry previously shared an Instagram with Will and Kate
Before Harry met Meghan, he lived alone at Kensington Palace but was neighbors with Will and Kate. Will and Harry hadn’t split their households, so the Kensington Palace Instagram highlighted both brothers. Once Harry and Meghan wed, they continued to live at Kensington Palace with their in-laws. And that meant the Kensington Instagram had to be equally shared between both couples. While many people adore Meghan, some began to say negative things in the comments section of her photos, and others complained that they only wanted to see Will and Kate on the Instagram.
When the couple decided to move homes and split households, they got their own Instagram
After Meghan and Harry announced their pregnancy, they also announced they’d be moving to Frogmore Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle, and Harry and Will would split their royal households. Harry and Meghan now operate out of Buckingham Palace, with Will and Kate remaining at Kensington Palace. But with the division also came the separation of the two couples on social media. At the same time Harry and Meghan made their official move, the royal family rolled out a brand new Instagram account dedicated only to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
One man has a good reason to be annoyed — Harry and Meghan stole his Instagram
While everyone was thrilled to see Meghan and Harry with their own account, one man in the U.K. didn’t share in the excitement. According to BBC, Instagram reportedly stole Kevin Keiley’s username right out from under him. He’d been @sussexroyal for years and said that he woke up earlier this week to learn that his handle had been changed to @_sussexroyal_. He felt it was unethical of the app to take his name without any kind of warning or permission. The app argued that the account had been inactive, but the man said it was still rightfully his account.
The man wants an explanation from Instagram for taking his name without consent
“I got a jokey text from my son, which said, ‘Ha ha, I see
your handle has gone then,” Keiley said of his stolen account name. When he
looked on Instagram, his son was right. And now, Keiley wants an explanation.
Instagram clapped back saying their policy allows them to make changes to an
Instagram account if it’s been inactive for some time. At this point, Keiley
said he’s hesitant to use the app again after what they did. It’s unclear if Meghan
and Harry were aware the handle belonged to someone else, but either way, it’s
theirs now.
Heads up, Adam Sandler fans: The actor and comedian is slated to host NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” for the first time next month.
Sandler, who first joined SNL as a writer in 1990 before working as a cast member from 1991 to 1995, will host the late-night show for the first time on May 4. The musical guest that evening will be singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes, NBC said in a Friday news release. The appearance will mark Mendes’ second time as a musical guest on the show.
Sandler created “many memorable characters, impressions and musical moments, including “The Chanukah Song,” as a cast member on the late-night show, per the news release.
The 52-year-old currently has a comedy special on Netflix — “100% Fresh” — and stars alongside Jennifer Aniston in the streaming services’ soon-to-be-released film “Murder Mystery."
Since 2003, when Prince William First announced that he was dating Kate Middleton, all eyes were on the now Duchess of Cambridge. At one point, poor Kate must have felt as if she could do no right. Almost everywhere you looked, there was a magazine or other publication that was scrutinizing her for anything she did. Once Kate and William got married, a lot of people thought that the media’s attention would suddenly die down. However, just the opposite happened. The media seems to be more intrusive than ever now that she is married to the prince and has three children of her own.
When Prince Harry announced that he was dating an American actress in 2016, Kate might have let out a brief sigh of relief, hoping that the media would pay more attention to Meghan Markle than her. And while the media does seem to be obsessed with learning every aspect of Markle’s life, they still have, and will continue to have, a vested interest in Kate.
The media obviously seems to be enamored with both of the duchesses. But is one of them getting treated differently than the other by the media? Here is what we know about how Markle and Middleton are viewed by the public eye.

The media views Meghan Markle as a unique woman
When Kate got engaged to William, it was big news at the time due to the fact that Kate was considered a “commoner.” While it is not unheard of for royals to marry commoners, William was one of the first royals in the direct line of the throne to marry someone who was not a member of the aristocracy or nobility. Being that Kate was the only commoner in this century to marry so close to the throne, people were understandably curious about how Kate would be able to adjust to royal life.
When Harry married Meghan, people were more than just a little curious about the American actress — they were downright blown away. Harry wasn’t just marrying a “commoner,” he was marrying an American; someone who knew very little about how a monarchy even worked. People all over the world became obsessed with learning more about how a divorced American woman was able to snag her very own, real-life Prince Charming.
The media was also eager to weigh in on the unique situation as well. Although she is neither the first American woman to marry into a royal family nor even the first American actress to become a royal — award-winning actress, Grace Kelly, married a Moroccan prince in 1956 — the media had portrayed her as somewhat of a revolutionary person. Instead of being praised for that, however, they seemed to instead try to dig around until they could find out any and all faults that she may have, and even spreading rumors about her relationships with the other members of the royal family.
Meghan Markle’s family only adds fuel to the fire
While it does seem like the media seems to care more about digging up on dirt on Meghan than it does Kate, there may be a good reason for that: Meghan is an easier target. When it comes to trying to finding out anything negative about the Duchess of Sussex, the media does not have to work too hard. Meghan’s father and half-sister are always more than happy to give them what they want. They use every opportunity that they can to make Meghan look as if she does not care about her family back home.
Last Christmas, Meghan’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, sent a Christmas card to Meghan that begged her to see her father for Christmas. She had insinuated in the card that their father probably was not going to be alive much longer and he would really like to spend his last few Christmases with Meghan.
How do we know what the card said? Well, she didn’t actually send it to Meghan. Instead, she sent a copy of it to The Mirror, who was more than happy to publish it.
Her sister had also pointed out on Twitter that Meghan did not see her father on his birthday. Although, Meghan’s absence at her father’s birthday party should have come at no surprise to her family. Especially when you consider the fact that her own father has sold numerous defaming stories about Meghan and has even published a five-page letter that Meghan wrote to him, asking him to please stop going to the media.
Why does the media treat Meghan Markle differently than Kate Middleton?
Sometimes the media paints Meghan in a good light and sometimes they showcase the negative aspects of her life. They have done the same things to Kate as well; however, the media does seem to be more in a frenzy when it comes to Markle. The fact that she is an American woman living as a royal and the fact that her family throws her under the bus at every opportunity, means that, unfortunately, the media does have more to scrutinize when it comes to Markle’s life.
However, no matter how differently the media decides to treat Meghan, you can be sure that her Prince Charming, Harry, will stand by her side and protect her as much as he can. Not that she needs his protection — Meghan’s proven to be strong and resilient.
The show was two days before Wilder's 24th birthday and two weeks after the release of "Nevermind," the band's landmark album. She was "mesmerized."
"I remember it was not music I'd heard before," Wilder said, "But you got the sense that this was something special."
Her friend knew the band's manager, and Wilder got to go backstage. She didn't talk to lead singer Kurt Cobain, but "I very clearly remember him sitting on a couch and looking very socially uncomfortable." She recalled a woman trying to flirt with the shy, budding rock star, who seemed unsure of himself.
"He wasn't comfortable as the center of attention," Wilder said.
A week later "Nevermind"was certified gold and the band's breakthrough hit, "Smells Like Teen Spirit," was playing constantly on MTV. Cobain -- who died less than three years later, on April 5, 1994 -- had become the reluctant voice of Generation X.
A shocking death
Cobain and Nirvana heralded rock's grunge era of the early 1990s, bookending an era dominated by '80s synth pop, New Wave and hair bands like Bon Jovi. Cobain eschewed slick, corporate rock, and his anguished lyrics and distorted riffs expressed both intimacy and rebellion.
"It was a great time to be alive in your twenties," Wilder said. Over the next few years she began regularly going to shows by similar bands like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.
But she added, when you're young, "you're in this bubble thinking twenty-year-olds don't die."
Wilder remembers MTV's Kurt Loder delivering the news that Cobain had been found dead of a self-inflicted shotgun wound.
The rocker joined Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison in the so-called 27 Club, a group of famous musicians who all died unexpectedly at age 27.
At that point, Wilder had only known a couple of people who had died. "It was shocking to my generation," she said.
Nirvana's lasting influence
A quarter century later, Cobain's career continues to fascinate and inspire. Rolling Stone named he and Nirvana 30th on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time."
And of course, "Nevermind" tops Rolling Stone's list of most influential grunge albums.
Spencer Elden, who swam naked as a baby on the cover of "Nevermind," told CNN in 2011 that his father, who worked rigging special effects in Hollywood, got the gig with a friend to photograph the famous album cover. He put his infant son in the water and snapped a few photos that entered rock history.
In 2015, a 19-year-old girl in Washington found rare photos of her father playing with Cobain in his first-ever concert in Raymond, Washington in the spring of 1987.
And that same year, fans salivated over never-before-heard musical recordings of the alt-rock icon, dormant for 21 years, that surfaced ahead of filmmaker Brett Morgen's film biography "Montage of Heck."
Danny Goldberg, Nirvana's manager, released a memoir this week about his time with Cobain and the band, titled "Serving the Servant."
Nirvana wasn't the first grunge or alt-rock band, but that breakthrough moment in the fall of 1991 remains perhaps their most important contribution to music. They helped pioneer a genre of rock and helped other Seattle bands like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden reach fans around the world.
"Even if people weren't famous, 1992-1996 was a great time to hear local bands too," said Wilder, who now lives in New York City. After the Nirvana show she became focused on checking out new music. But she never saw them, or Cobain, again.
"I kind of miss that era," she said. "It was one of the happiest times of my life."
