LAUREN LAUREN....
Lauren Bush married fiancee David Lauren, son of fashion designer Ralph Lauren, Sunday on the Double RL Ranch outside Telluride, Colorado.  Bush entered on a horse-drawn carriage before walking down the aisle between her parents, Sharon and Neil, to a custom built chapel.  The reception was held in a barn where country singer Micheal Martin-Murphy entertained the crowd that included her uncle George W. Bush, his wife Laura and cousins Jenna and Barbara Bush. Lauren's dress was designed by her future father-in-law Ralph Lauren.

Famous hair stylist, Jonathan Antin just got served divorce papers from his wife, Sescie Antin citing irreconcilable differences.  The two married back in
2006 and have 2 children together (5 and 4). Sescie claims she and Jonathan have a prenup which states that he will cover her mortgage and all home expenses until their youngest child is 21 -years-old.

The tree that Tiger Woods crashed into with his Escalade that fateful night in November 2009 has been cut down and destroyed!  According to TMZ, new neighbors moved in recently and began remodeling.  One of the first things they did was tear down the infamous oak tree. (yes, they knew its' history) Evidently the tree has been in bad shape ever since the crash. Right now, a Porta-Potty stands in its place.

A man was found dead at the home of Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith appears to be a victim of drowning. The fully-clothed body of 37-year-old Engram Lamar Crenshaw was found at the bottom of Smith's pool Sunday morning. Crenshaw was a friend of Smith's and at his home for a large party. Apparently no one noticed Crenshaw was missing until people in the house woke up the next morning. Police do not suspect foul play.

Even without Jerry Lewis, the Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon raised nearly $61.5 million Sunday, an increase of about $2.6 million over last year. Lewis has not publicly said why he is no longer chairman of the MDA, or why he didn't personally appear in this year's telethon.  Co-hosts of the show merely said Lewis has retired. Lewis' absence ended a 45-year run in which he raised $1.66 billion. The fundraiser raised $58.9 million last year, but was shortened this year from 21½ hours.

Drummer Michael Pedicone and the band My Chemical Romance are no longer making beautiful music together.  The group claims on its website that Pedicone was caught stealing from the band. Guitarist Frank Lero wrote on the band's site. "He was caught red handed stealing from the band and confessed to police after our show last night in Auburn, Washington. We are heartbroken and sick to our stomachs over this entire situation."  It appears the band won't be pressing charges and will settle for having them out of their business. Pedicone wrote on twitter on Friday saying "What happened is more complicated than it sounds but I did make a mistake." Meanwhile, Jarrod Alexander (former drummer of Death By Stereo and Suicide File) has already replaced Pedicone as the band's new drummer.
