Crazy brides are so hot right now/always/especially on TLC. Our latest crazy bride is "Brandy," a woman so deluded by her own right to that cash $$$ that she has inadvertently revealed the true depths of tragedy that make up the wedding industrial complex.
Weddings are such complicated business. Entitled people want cash, not gifts! Or, as this terrible Facebook message from a bride/horrible mean person demonstrates, sometimes people (perplexingly) do not want cash. Or at least, they do not want a paltry amount of cash. Like $100. $100 is not enough for some people.
It's not a secret that strapless bridal dresses are about as ubiquitous as that scene in movies where the officiant asks people in attendance at a wedding to speak up or forever hold their peace and someone speaks up, with comical results. But why? Strapless gowns are nearly universally unflattering, they're tough to…
Now that the Bridezilla stereotype has been rendered all but meaningless through over application, what other overhyped, decadently expensive event can we lampoon for driving people to the brink? How about prom???
"I think Hillary and Bill, properly, want to keep this thing for Chelsea and her soon-to-be husband," the president rationalized, looking calm despite the sting of embarrassment. "Y'all probably will not be getting invited to Sasha or Malia's wedding, either."
We have been led to believe that this woman is Chelsea Clinton, photographed while entering the Vera Wang store in NYC yesterday. Since all of NATO is wondering if she'll wear Oscar or Vera, this may be useful information.
This weekend's MOST IMPORTANT WEDDING EVER will reportedly cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 to $5 million. Included in that hefty estimate are these deeeeluxe Porta-Potties, which cost around $15K. That's the price you pay for having Oprah attend.
Look, we can all sympathize with the bride whose nuptials might be disrupted by the chaos that will be involved in Chelsea's wedding. But what was Chelsea supposed to do? Find a town with no other weddings happening that day?
Unconfirmed, but Us reports that Lucky Number Nine is Jason Winters, 49. May-December! "It's no secret that they've been together forever and are in love, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they were engaged." THEN IT'S TRUE! [Us]
Weddings sucked up $42 billion last year. The average U.S. wedding cost $19,581. And that figure actually represents a decline: in 2007, before the recession, Americans spent nearly $29,000 on every single one of our 2 million-plus weddings.
On the season finale of Bridezillas, Karen—the one who doesn't like poor people, the disabled, and threatens senior citizens—finally had her $150,000 "classy" wedding, but not without being rude to her new in-laws and throwing several tantrums.
The season finale of Bridezillas will air on Sunday, and it includes the final chapter of Karen (the girl who doesn't appreciate disabled or "poor" people). In this clip, she returns to her seamstress to heap on more abuse.
Karen—the Bridezilla who doesn't like "$9-an-hour human beings"—showed more of her ass on last night's episode when she bitched (and laughed) about a wedding guest who requested wheelchair access for the reception.
In this week's compilation of pop culture crap, Tyra's on-stage colonic, Tricia Walsh-Smith's freakout, Jon Gosselin's opinion on Balloon Boy, and more.
• Hundreds of Muslim pilgrims have lined up to catch a glimpse of this Russian baby, who supposedly has verses from the Koran inscribed on his leg, which appear and fade every few days. •
Last night's episode featured Karen, a bride-to-be from Staten Island, NY, who — despite talking gauchely about how rich she is — believes that she is the epitome of class, and too important to be polite to "poor" people.
In this week's compilation of pop culture crap, "Balloon Boy" farts, Tyra curses, Michael Lohan goes on Maury, and Jon Gosselin says he won't get Botox... because he's Asian-American.
On last night's episode, when LaDrienna's bridesmaids were late picking her up to run errands, the bride(zilla) referred to the situation as "tardy for the party." She totally watches Real Housewives of Atlanta.
