Ashlee and Pete: They Did WHAT?
No surprise here. Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz got hitched last night at her family's home in front of a small group of friends and relatives (via People).
Her father, Joe Simpson, who always needs to be involved in his daughter's business, performed the service. Big sis Jessica, served as the maid-of-honor and Pete's English bulldog was the ring bearer. The Alice in Wonderland-themed reception included a wedding cake with a top hat and tea pot, which definitely satisfied Ashlee's growing appetite. No word on where the new husband and wife will go for their honeymoon. Hopefully Papa Joe doesn't tag along.

One bruised ex says John is "hell to get over, not because he's a great guy, but because he's a 'great' guy." Sounds talented.

After leaving CNN to launch her own feel good sports website, darynkagan.com -- Daryn still feels she has a lot to accomplish. The news anchor tells cyinterview.com that she is a "Dancing with the Stars" freak and would tango her way to the top spot on a platform of reinvention, to remind people to embrace the opportunities and "re-invent your life". Not to mention, Daryn needs to erase the bad name Tucker Carlson gave to the TV News community after his abysmal performance on the dance show. It wouldn't take much to out dance Tucker.

Matthew Modine was amongst the bigshot guests at an Amstel Light night at the Boat Basin, while Pete Yorn strummed and sang away -- does anyone drink anything else but Amstel at the Boat Basin? Just askin'.
