He tells Us the ceremony with girlfriend Katja will be "a part" of his reality show

Body

Jason Wahler and Katja Decker Sadowski are gearing up for their upcoming wedding.

"We want to do it sooner rather than later," Sadowski told Usmagazine.com Wednesday at the PinkIsTheNewBlog launch party at Hollywood's S Bar. "But my parents want me to finish school first and that won't be until 2010. So we want to do it probably a little bit before graduation, but I need my parents' help to plan the wedding!"

Added Wahler (who used to date Lauren Conrad): "And if her parents don't agree, it's a no-go! So we are looking, realistically, at 12 to 15 months from now.

(See more celeb wedding photos.)

Wahler is pitching around a new reality show -- rapper Warren G has signed on -- and said the wedding "will be a part, but it's not going to be the focus of the show."

The two have gotten into marriage gear by moving in together.

"It's going well," Wahler said. "We have my assistant/best friend there too. It's kind of awkward, but what the hell!"

Sadowski's take?

"It's like You, Me and Dupree!" she told Us. "Sometimes it can be a little too much!"

At least they aren't sharing space with Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.

(See photos of Hills stars and all their hook-ups.)

Asked about the pair, Wahler laughed and said to his publicist, "I’m being very careful."

He added, "I wish them the best of luck. Seriously, they’re just not my type of people, so, I mean, I don’t follow them, I don’t care about them.

"They do their own thing," he added, "and I do my own thing."

Carmen Electra: We are Taking Wedding Planning Slow!

The reality star "feels like everyone else is putting the pressure on it"

Body

Here comes the bride…eventually.

Carmen Electra says she's "taking it slow" planning her wedding to rocker Rob Patterson.

"I feel like everyone is putting the pressure on it," Electra told Usmagazine.com at the Dodge Celebrity Drag Race in southern California June 3. "He's been great. I feel so lucky."

Electra, 36, became engaged to her boyfriend of less than a year, 37, in April.

Patterson gave his bride-to-be a 2-carat black diamond ring estimated to be worth $100,000. Check out other celeb engagement rings here.

The pair haven't set a wedding date yet and "haven't even had time to think about it. Literally," Electra tells Us.

"We flew to Dubai for the opening of the new Fox movie Channel, and then straight to New Orleans and then Shreveport," where Electra is filming Disaster Movie.

In the meantime, Electra has been sporting a more permanent symbol of affection to her beau: a tattoo on her neck in a cursive "R" that she says she "got a few months ago."

Jessica Simpson Wears Dallas Cowboys Hat Amidst Split Rumors

She paid tribute to Tony Romo's team while leaving Mexico Thursday

Body

It's still mystery whether or not Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are together.

But if they did call it quits, the split must be amicable.

Simpson sported a Dallas Cowboys cap while leaving Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on Thursday.

The singer has been south of the border with just her parents, Joe and Tina, since her pregnant sister Ashlee tied the knot on May 17. (Romo and Simpson had taken trips with Joe and Tina before.)

(Ashlee, meanwhile, was in the Caribbean honeymooning with Pete Wentz. See the pregnant star in a bikini here.)

In a radio interview Tuesday, Wentz played coy when asked if Simpson and Romo were still an item.

"I don't know anything about what's going on with them," he told Ryan Seacrest. "I'm so busy clearing up my own rumors!"

At their wedding, Simpson and Romo "seemed like they were dancing. It seemed like it was a good time."

Tell Us: Is Jessica better off with or without Tony?

Jenna Hager: Laura Bush Became "Momzilla" Planning the Wedding

"She liked the details more than I did!" she says of the First Lady

Body

Sure, Jenna Hager was excited about planning her May 10 nuptials to Henry Hager — but not nearly as much as First Lady Laura Bush.

"She did start calling me Momzilla!" Laura admits on an upcoming episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show (airing Wednesday, May 28).

Adds Jenna, 26: "She liked the details more than I did!"

Laura says, "It really kind of hurt my feelings."

Still, Jenna, who just attended her husband's graduation, says she was glad to have her mother's input.

"She’s just really good with details about parties — I would not have thought of some of the details," says Jenna, who jokes her appearance on DeGeneres' show was "sort of like a therapy session."

(See photos from Jenna's wedding at her parents' Texas 1,600-acre ranch. When Ellen asks if she could wed Portia di Rossi at the ranch, Jenna says, "sure.")

Her daughter's wedding isn't the only milestone for the First Lady. In January, she will be vacating the White House after eight years.

"It’s a long time to live in the White House and to have that kind of stress," she says. "There are a lot of things I’m looking forward to."

She says she's "going to keep a little book of things that I want to do ... like garden."

Jokes Jenna, "Today she said, 'I just can’t wait to garden.' I was like, 'Yeah, right!'"

Pete Wentz on Wife Ashlee Simpson: "We've Signed a Pre-Nup"

He says they're spending their honeymoon in their basement "eating DiGiorno's pizza"

Body

Pete Wentz is speaking out for the first time since his weekend wedding to Ashlee Simpson.

"We have signed a pre-nup," the newlywed rocker admitted on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show Tuesday. (Ashlee was alseep, he said.)

He said "she legally is a Wentz ... I don't know what she'll do with her stage name, that's up to her. She hasn't decided that."

He said they're skipping out on a honeymoon (for now) and have been hanging out in their basement in L.A.

"We got some blow-up palm trees," Wentz said. "A little fake-n-bake tanning booth.

"We're eating DiGiorno's pizza, getting in that tanning oven every once in a while, it's great.

"It's gonna look like we're on that private jet," he added. "We're gonna save that 30 grand, you know?"

So how is married life?

"I feel great!" he said. "It is sunny and 65 in my head."

Wentz still refused to confirm Simpson's pregnancy.

When Seacrest asked why they decided to wed now, Wentz replied, "I get the backdoor question you're asking me, but it's been something we've been planning for a long time. I gave her a promise ring four months ago." (See their race to the altar weekend wedding.)

Seacrest later asked if he's thought about baby names.

Wentz laughed.

"Ryan, this baby has not been confirmed," he said. "The only thing I'm confirming now is that we're in the basement on our honeymoon with these blow-up palm trees."

He was also mum on rumors that Jessica Simpson split with Tony Romo.

"I don't know anything about what's going on with them," he said. "I'm so busy clearing up my own rumors!"

At the Alice In Wonderland-themed wedding — their dog served as the ring bearer — he said Jessica and Tony "seemed like they were dancing. It seemed like it was a good time."

Nick Cannon's Family Confirms He's Wed Mariah Carey

Celebrity News Dek

"He called us and told us ... we are happy for him," says family member Linda Cannon

Body

Nick Cannon's family has confirmed that the 27-year-old actor has wed singer Mariah Carey, 39.

Family member Linda Cannon told E! that Nick called her with the good news.

"Yes, we know. He called us and told us all about it," she said. "We are happy for him. If that is what he wants, then we are happy for him."

She added, "I'm not going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."

Latina magazine first broke the news Thursday.

The New York Post also reported that they secretly got hitched at Carey's new home in Eleuthera in the Bahamas.

The Post quoted a source as saying, "There was no prenup - there wasn't time."

Another Carey pal told the Post, "Everyone is happy to see her happy. And it could work out - some people know each other for five years and get divorced. Maybe this is true, instant love."

Carey recently has been sporting a 17-carat diamond ring that looks similar to the one Cannon gave his ex Selita Ebanks, but Ebanks' rep said yesterday it is not the same ring.

Ebanks, told Usmagazine.com, "I have no comment but wish them well."

Body

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have wed, Latina magazine reports.

They quote a source as saying their Wednesday nuptials were "very impulsive."

The ceremony was at a home Carey recently purchased in Eleuthera, the Bahamas, the New York Post reports.

Rapper Da Brat attended, Latina says.

Cannon's ex-fiancée, model Selita Ebanks, tells Usmagazine.com, "I have no comment but wish them well."

Longtime pals, Carey, 38, and the 27-year-old rapper-actor connected when they worked together on the video for her latest single, "Bye Bye," (directed by Justin Francis) in late March.

"It's hot and heavy," an insider told Us Weekly in its latest issue, on newsstands now. (Check out more spring couples here.)

Cannon attended the premiere of Carey's film, Tennessee, in NYC on April 26.

Carey told Us it was "very nice" to work with Cannon, who, when asked what he loved about the singer, exclaimed, "Everything!"

Carey was previously married to music mogul Tommy Mottola. They divorced in 1998.
