Nice day for a white (trash) wedding: US Weekly reckons Britney's latest wedding was a fake to throw the media off the trail of the real wedding. Does this sound like a joke? The ceremony was thought to be a Kabbalah wedding. The bride wore a strapless satin
gown by Monique L'Huillier, with a veil and a small tiara. The groom wore a traditional black tuxedo. The bride gave her maids of honour hot-pink velour track suits emblazoned with the words "Hot Mama". The groom gave his male pals white velour track suits inscribed "Pimps". Each guest received a Gap gift bag containing a pair of jeans, a packet of Chew Juicy sweets, a pair of Nike shoe laces and a silver key ring with an image of the couple cuddling. The party moved on to Xses nightclub on Sunset Boulevard. Britney, without make-up and dressed in sweatpants, spent the night on her husband's arm. The reception buffet included chicken fingers, crab cakes, ribs and Waldorf salad.

Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable describes a hair-breadth escape as "a narrow escape from danger". The Woman's Day TV Day for last Sunday was rabbiting on about the rugby league semifinals, saying "The top teams are now within a hare's breath of the NRL grand final ... " Would there be a hint of carrot on that close call?

Nick Kemplen of Westmere would like a little drama in his life: "I'm just an Average Joe although I'd like to be Joe Millionaire. My Big Brother, my NZ Idol, said that to be a Survivor and start Living the Dream I need to stop sitting on The Fence. I started thinking ... Location, Location, Location. Time to move. After Changing Rooms with my Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance things became more clear. My Big Brother admired my Extreme Makeover and said I might be in with a chance to win this Amazing Race. A lot of my friends say that to overcome my Fear, Factor some quality drama into my nigThtly TV viewing. Drama? I said. What's that?"
