We've talked a lot about music for a rocking wedding reception, but what about the ceremony? The days when "Bridal Chorus" (aka "Here Comes the Bride") were the only options for the walk down the aisle have passed, and I've heard of weddings where the bride walked to everything from folk tunes to jazz standards to string quartet versions of Coldplay songs.
So I'm wondering: If you're married, or planning a wedding, did you go classical or contemporary with your ceremony songs? And for the non-marrieds out there, what do you imagine your wedding sound to be? (Don't forget to check out more wedding goodies on IDoSugar.com)
After this strike-afflicted TV season, it would be excusable to think that Summer TV would be even worse than normal. And, to be fair, there are a bazillion vaguely awful reality series — from Wipeout to Brooke Hogan Knows Best — on the docket. But you can safely ignore all of those and still stock your TiVo well this Summer: Cable networks are shaping up to have some of their best months ever, and a few network shows look like they'll be must-sees, too. So, without further ado, I present my second-annual Top 10 Reasons to Keep Your TV On This Summer. Just hit "Start" to see them.
Puppy. Running along a beach. "Chariots of Fire." And. . . my morning is officially awesome. Does this video show anything substantial about the movie Marley & Me? No. But it's a pretty cute taste, anyway.
An adaptation of the book by John Grogan, Marley & Me stars Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson as the owners of a spirited dog named Marley who teach them "important life lessons." To check out the new teaser trailer for the film (opening Christmas Day), read more

Tuesdays are big in entertainment-ville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. In addition to the selections below, you can download the best of Radiohead (according to whom, I'm not sure) and a new album from The Virgins. Here are today's selections:
Indie darlings: Fleet Foxes are yet another little band making good out of the Northwest and their first self-titled album is gorgeous. One track, White Winter Hymnal is ethereal and sweet, and I can't get enough. They kind of have a Shins vibe going on.
The cynical beauty: It's no secret I've been salivating for the new Aimee Mann album, and it's finally here! I've already downloaded, Freeway and Thirty One Today. I'm so excited to dig into the rest of the album.
Another three albums (busy day for music!) if you read more
I was interested in this remake of the 1939 film The Women when there was initial casting news about it (Debra Messing, Annette Bening, Meg Ryan, Jada Pinkett Smith, Eva Mendes, Candace Bergen, etc. etc.), but after the incredible success of the Sex and the City movie, I'm even more excited about the opportunities for movies directed at a female audience. If nothing else the SATC movie might have indicated to filmmakers and studios that (hello!) it's possible to actually have a female-centric film do well at the box office. In other words: women can be valuable audience members, too, you know.
Anyway, from the new trailer it looks like there's The Woman (Meg Ryan) and all her girlfriends discover that there's The Other Woman (Eva Mendes) but the women don't know how to tell her about this other woman. True to the original, there don't appear to be any men in the movie. This new trailer isn't phenomenal, but it still looks like a reasonably funny movie about female friendship (and rivalry).
The Women opens September 12. To check out the trailer and tell me what you think, read more
Kate Beckinsale was spotted leaving the hair salon in LA looking perfectly coiffed from head to toe. She wore a shirtdress over leggings, pairing it with Fiorentini + Baker buckle boots and a cozy scarf for a Fall-appropriate look.
