April 7-14: Wedding Belles & Jail Cells

Man, Beyonce cant get a break these days. First she gets upstaged by an American Idol RUNNER-UP in what was supposed to be her big movie, Dreamgirls, and then Tina Turner steals her thunder at the Grammys. And now Beyonces rumored wedding to her boo, Jay-Z, has been overshadowed too. Hmmmis she not so “irreplaceable” after all?

Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged.”
No wedding date has been set yet, and Pete–who has his own clothing line, somewhat ironically titled Clandestine–offered no details about what Ashlee would wear on their special day. “I would not even try to step in and design Ashlees wedding dress,” he told E! Online. “Anyone who
