In case for some reason you weren’t wishing you had been at Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert’s wedding last month, here’s a great video showing you what you missed. It covers everything from the rehearsal dinner to the “I do”s to the reception afterward. they must have hired the best wedding videographer ever, because the end product is really nice.

UPDATE: Dang it! the video was removed. I had no idea that it wasn’t supposed to be released in the first place. I’m not sure if it was meant to be just for friends, or if it’s a music rights issue, since there’s a “soundtrack” that includes songs by people other than Blake and Miranda. Anyway, enjoy clicking on the video to watch the message that comes up, “This video is private.”

See who's drinking wine? Told ya!

According to a recent report in the Archives of Internal Medicine, women who drink 5 to 30 grams of alcohol a day are less likely to get fat. OK, so the Archives of Internal Medicine didn’t use the word “fat”, but you get my drift.

Don’t carry a handy gram counter with you wherever you go? No app for that yet? Not to worry: basically this means you can have a half glass of wine, a can of beer, or a shot of Jack, depending upon who’s buying.

My drink of choice is Captain Morgan & Coke. If my friend Adella orders them for me, it’s a Captain and Diet Coke (which she calls a “Skinny Pirate” and I call “Captain & Blech!”) This is beside the point, however; what I take exception to is the idea that all drinks are created equal when it comes to weight control.

My own personal research has resulted in a far different conclusion: One drink a day only works if you’re single and that drink is wine. How do I know this? Because I drink as often as I can (weekends and when the boss is out of town) and nobody would accuse me of getting any skinnier. But every unattached woman I know who drinks wine is able to zip her jeans without lying down on the bed.

Take for example my girlfriends: Girlfriend A (GFA) is a beautiful platinum blonde DJ with a derriere to die for (it’s Savannah Jones, so you can stop guessing). Girlfriend B (GFB) is another gorgeous blonde whose body is sheer perfection (Robin, this is you.) Needless to say, I secretly detest both GFA and GFB and avoid them whenever possible because by comparison, I am a sweaty female version of Shrek. Also in the party are Girlfriend C (GFC), a zaftig redhead with the face of a angel (love ya, Heather) and Adella (who defies description and a three-letter acronym).

Both GFA and GFB drink wine, almost exclusively. Me, GFC and Adella drink everything else. Of course, GFA and GFB are also both single…while the rest of us are married. Which proves my other point: Having a husband makes it necessary to drink something stronger than wine, and definitely more than one shot. In fact, my research has determined that for every hour you spend in the company of your spouse, a minimum of two shots is required to maintain something resembling sanity. I say “minimum” because there are occasions when only full-on intoxication will keep you from ending up on the evening news for “accidentally” putting a pillow over his head in his sleep.

So here’s the bottom line: If you want your bottom line to stay thin, drink wine whenever you can…and if you want to have an awesome getaway with your alcoholic girlfriends, go here and enter to win a free weekend at the gorgeous Allison Inn & Spa. Wanna touch up your toenails or fit in a facial before you go…for free? Drop by the Northwest Chevy Dealer close to you and test drive a new Chevy, and they’ll hook you up with a $40 Spafinder.com gift card–just make sure you’re sober at the time or the deal’s off.

Here’s Blake’s little favorite, Xenia. I do love the tone of her voice, but she just looks so frightened and stiff on stage, plus her voice is pretty limited, as you will hear in her contributions to Blake’s “Honeybee,” below.

Add Keith Urban to the list of famous people caught on tape falling down.  I almost feel bad posting this video from the first show of his “Get Closer” tour, but hey, Keith’s awesomeness is such that one little tumble doesn’t really affect it at all.  Plus, look at those ramps!  They seem a little too slick and steep.

So you’re a guy who goes through your whole life with the name Taylor Swift, and it’s no big deal, until about 2007 when a young teenage country singer starts to become a big star.   Then you start getting emails, because your email account is “TSwift”-something.  Well this guy decided to have a little fun with an annoying situation, and he’s started posting some of the letters he gets (with personal info scratched out) at a website called “OMG IS THIS TAYLOR SWIFT?”  Most of them are pretty much what you would expect, but there are some creepy marriage proposals thrown in, and a few laughs as well.  check it out here.

Remember three years ago in Auburn, WA, when Tim threw an unruly fan out of his show? Well it happened again, in Washington, and this time it was a bunch of fans! At his Gorge Amphitheater show on Saturday, Tim noticed that there was a fracas (love that word) in the pit right in front of him. So after fingering the perps (another word I love!) he stopped the show until all of the drunken people could be removed. According to eyewitnesses, it all started when some aggressive young women wanted to high-five Tim. they made the mistake of pushing past a very, very drunk woman, who flipped out and threw her drink at them. This must have been what caught Tim’s eye. Security professionals pulled the drunk woman up onto the stage and threw her out, but there were also two obnoxiously drunk guys in the middle of it all who Tim gave the boot to as well. You can check it all out in this video, which starts right after Tim notices the drink throw:

Cars 2 comes out this Friday!!!  But if you’re a parent you probably already know this.  The soundtrack is out already, and there are two Brad Paisley songs on it.  One, “Collision of Worlds,” was a planned duet with a british pop star named Robbie Williams:

But the second song happened after Brad watched a rough version of the movie. He was so moved by a sad part where Mater, voiced by Larry the Cable Guy, has a sad realization that everyone thinks he’s dumb. Brad sat down and wrote a song that they ended up including in the movie. Here’s a homemade video of the song, “Nobody’s Fool”:

Blake Shelton turned 35 over the weekend.  What do you get a guy like him?  Well if you’re Brad Paisley, you get him a large, almost-naked man with a bow on his head:

Happy Birthday Blake!
