Edwards: Secret Wedding, Dave Matthews?

John EdwardsNo, it's not a storyline on "Guiding Light" (RIP) -- but rather the latest chapter in the John Edwards mistress scandal.

The guy who once claimed he was the father of the child born to Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, is now claiming Edwards is the real daddy (duh!) and that Edwards once promised Hunter he would marry her after his wife died (she's sick with cancer) -- this according to a book proposal obtained by the NY Times.

Andrew Young, Edwards' former aide, claims Edwards told Hunter it would be a rooftop wedding and the Dave Matthews Band would make an appearance, the Times says.

Because it's the dream of every major recording artist to play at the wedding of a disgraced politician to the mistress they had a child out of wedlock with after the politician's first wife dies of cancer.

Dave Matthews Caught in Spears Crossfire

Dave Matthews picked a bad date to stay at the Peninsula Hotel -- checking in on the same night as one Ms. Britney Spears shook up the front desk!


As photogs outside the hotel waited for Brit Brit to come out (she never did) they were given a quick treat -- as the Dave Matthews Band tour bus pulled up. Half the photogs, TMZ included, didn't even realize Dave was walking by, and then it was too late.

He made a fast entrance, carrying one of his twin daughters, followed by a cake-holding friend and Dave's wife, who held the couple's 3-month-old son.

Springsteen Joins Jazz Fest Lineup

Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews Band also set to perform

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

(Mar. 8) -- The Boss is heading to New Orleans.

A performance by Bruce Springsteen is one of 35 added to the lineup for this year's New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, scheduled over two weekends -- April 28-30 and May 5-7. He's slated to close out the first weekend, festival producer Quint Davis said Wednesday.

Springsteen will perform with the Seeger Sessions Band, the musicians who backed him on an upcoming album inspired by folk singer Pete Seeger. It's scheduled for release April 25. Davis said part of the album's title, "We Shall Overcome," is a fitting theme for the spirit of the storm-battered city.

It features Springsteen's interpretations of 13 traditional folk songs that have been associated for decades with Seeger.

Etta James, Herbie Hancock, Dave Bartholomew and Warren Haynes were among the acts announced Wednesday.

Dr. John, Bob Dylan and Cowboy Mouth will be performing on opening day, April 28. Galactic, the Dave Matthews Band and Clarence "Frogman" Henry will perform April 29, and joining Springsteen on April 30 will be the Meters, Yolanda Adams and Allen Toussaint.

Kicking off the second weekend on May 5: Doug Kershaw, Keith Urban, Little Feat, Marcia Ball and Koko Taylor and Her Blues Machine. Jimmy Buffet, the Radiators, Buckwheat Zydeco and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band perform on May 6, and Fats Domino, Paul Simon, Lionel Richie, Irma Thomas and Pete Fountain close out the festival on May 7.

As usual, Jazz Fest will be held at the New Orleans Fair Grounds. The horse racing track was flooded and had wind damage from Hurricane Katrina, but work crews have been repairing and upgrading damaged areas, Davis said.

As with Mardi Gras, it's hard to say what kind of attendance this year's festival will draw. It usually brings in roughly 500,000 music lovers over the course of the two weekends.
