Wedding Weekend

We had not one, but TWO big weddings this weekend, and they happened on the same day! They actually have more in common than just that. Both couples started dating last summer, and both became engaged earlier this year.

Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross were married today in Connecticut at the home of Diana Ross (the groom's mother), and Jessica Simpson (the bride's sister) served as matron of honor!

Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg got married in St. Charles, Illinois, and it was filmed for TV (because why wouldn't it be). Mark Wahlberg [and his family] were unable to attend, but they send a video congratulating the couple.

This is a second marriage for 3 out of 4 of the newlyweds, so I hope it works out for everyone.

Ashlee Simpson - Bat For A Heart (Music Video Premiere)

Simpsons Are Officially Divorcing

This is a story very dear to my heart because I absolutely love Jessica and Ashlee Simpson and watched their parents on "Newlyweds" like everyone else. 

Tina Simpson filed for divorce from Joe Simpson on September 24th after 34 years of marriage. Some gossip sites are saying that it's because of the former minister's sexuality, but that has NOT been confirmed. The papers were filed in McLennan County, Texas, and they released a joint statement:

“It is an amicable split and there is no third party involved. Any other related allegations are completely false. The family appreciates your respect for their privacy at this time.”

That DUI he got earlier this year seemed to start a landslide of events, and I hope they can get it under control soon.

Joe Simpson Arrested For Drunk Driving

This news actually came as a big shock to me because it seems so out of character for him.

Joe Simpson, the father of Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, was arrested on August 4th for a DUI. He was reportedly held overnight and released the next morning.This is the first time he has run into this problem (or first time he got caught anyway), so he will probably just a slap on the wrist. As many of you know, he is a former pastor....I wonder what his family thinks of this news.

My Top 5 Favorite Christmas Songs - Ever!

I thought long and hard about this list, and here it is:  

5. Shanice & Crystal Wilson - When You Believe
I got to meet Shanice (my fave singer) and her mom in October of 1995 on the "Leeza" Show, and they sang this song! The episode was taped by everyone I knew, and I still watch it every Xmas!

4. Jessica & Ashlee Simpson - Little Drummer Boy
I have ALWAYS loved the song, and I LOVE the Simpson girls too! This song shows off their talent very nicely :)
 

3. Martina McBride - Oh Holy Night
There are many versions of this song by many different people, but I truly think hers is the best one. She was on the Leeza show with Shanice too, but I didn't get to meet her :(. My brother did get to sit next to her while she sang though!
 
2. NSYNC - Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
I don't care what anybody thinks - I still love this song!

1. TLC - Sleigh Ride
What can I say about this song besides that it is totally awesome, and sung by my favorite group ever?! Well, There you have it. Those are my Top 5 Favorite Christmas songs of all time! Happy Holidays!

Pete Wentz Is Taking Ashlee Simpson To Court

Wentz doesn't want his soon-to-be-ex wife getting primary physical custody of their son Bronx; so they are going to court. When Ashlee filed divorce papers back in February, she asked the judge for primary physical custody. Pete replied with a request for joint physical and legal custody of 2 year old Bronx. The official date of their separation was February 9th (according to Wentz). Pete also requested that both parties pay their own court fees (even though Simpson asked the courts to make Pete pay both sides). This is getting to be a very bitter divorce; but they shouldn't have gotten married in the first place.

Ashlee Simpson Files For Divorce

Thanks to gossipcop for the photo

Numerous sources are reporting that after 2 and a half years of marriage, the singer/actress filed for divorce. She signed the documents citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. Simpson married the former Fall Out Boy bassist back in 2008 at her parents' house. They have a 2 year old son together (Bronx) and Simpson is asking for joint legal custody and primary physical custody. She is also seeking spousal support. As with any couple that files that kind of paperwork, they are asking for privacy during this "very difficult time as they enter the next phase of their lives."
I am not a big fan of Ashlee; but I like some of her music (and I LOVE her sister-lol). I honestly think he married her to cover up his sexuality; but i could be wrong. I didn't think it was going to last either way though.
