Even though we've wrapped up our wedding content, seeing these fab pictures from Much Love Animal Rescue's Second Annual "Bow Wow WOW!" reminded me of my BFF's wedding a couple years back. Instead of going the traditional registry route for presents, they requested that guests donate to this same rescue organization for unwanted or abused animals. They adopted their pooch, Baby, from here – the pit bull was found in very bad condition after being dragged behind a moving car! – and just wanted to give back to the great shelter. Quite popular with generous celebrities as well, Tori Spelling has a fund for sick and injured animals in the name of her late Mimi La Rue, and others – Hilary Duff's Chiquita and Lake Bell's Margaret – have come from here as well. In addition to placing animals, they host a number of adoption fairs and celeb-studded events like this fundrasing event on July 19 in Beverly Hills.

There were many recognizable faces in attendance – check them out in a gallery when you read more

Subliminally. Per Elisabeth Hasselbeck's request, Kevin Nealon busts out "Mr. Subliminal" on The View and doesn't hold back. He subliminally says all the shit we've been thinking and not saying for years about those nauseating delightful hookers co-hosts on the most torturous worthwhile trash show program on television today. Thank you Shame on you, Kevin!

It is so great to see Showtime's "Weeds" nominated for a couple of SAG awards (Mary-Louise Parker for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series and the stellar cast for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series). I recently Netflixed the first season of "Weeds" and I am totally loving it. The writing is superb — including the dialogue, which is where so many shows fall short.

Even more spectacular is the casting, as I can't even imagine better actors playing any of these characters. Mary-Louise Parker is sarcastic yet sympathetic as Nancy Botwin, a suddenly widowed mother of two who starts selling marijuana to the wealthy soccer moms and dads in her suburban community of Agrestic, Calif. She gets to know her dealers, a family governed by the steely, sassy mama Heylia James, played with strength while somehow avoiding cliche by Tonye Patano. Heylia's nephew is the kindhearted (not to mention sexy) Conrad (Romany Malco), who becomes Nancy's ally in "the business."

Elizabeth Perkins is also fantastic as Celia Hodes, the catty, self-medicating housewife, who does things like berate her husband's mistress then buy her rounds of drinks because she's "a good listener." Kevin Nealon provides generous comedic relief as Doug Wilson, one of Nancy's best clients as well as her accountant.

Initially I was afraid this would be some kind of campy, silly comedy with no substance, but it's not at all, so read more
