Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg are now hangin’ tough in holy matrimony! The couple were married yesterday at the Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Illinois. No word yet on whether or not they served Wahlburgers at the reception.

The former “View” co-host and “Blue Bloods” actor – who got engaged in April (who could forget that adorable story?) – were joined by Wahlberg’s “New Kids on the Block” bandmates Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Danny Wood and Jonathan Knight. We’re just going to presume they harmonized “Step by Step” as McCarthy walked down the aisle towards Wahlberg, because weddings are for making dreams come true – never mind if they happen to be our dreams.

Noticeably absent from the festivities: Donnie’s younger brother Mark, who was busy celebrating daughter Ella’s birthday, but sent well wishes on his Twitter account…

…and followed up via Facebook with an adorable congratulations video featuring his family.

This is the second marriage for both McCarthy and Wahlberg, who were joined by Jenny’s son Evan and Donnie’s sons Xavier and Elijah. We’re sending our congratulations – and a heartfelt (albeit off-key) rendition of “I’ll Be Loving You” – to the newlyweds!

Once a pop star is firmly established, we know her persona inside and out. Rihanna is DGAF personified, Katy Perry is the queen of pinup kitsch, Lady Gaga is our resident reverse Warholian artist-in-residence and Beyoncé — hallowed be her name — reigns benevolently from above like the ***flawless goddess that she is.

But, what about before each of these pop ladies had gotten the public’s attention? By flipping back to the earliest days of their respective catalogs, we can see the very beginnings of their now-ubiquitous identities taking root. This is especially true when you listen to their earlier features, where they, as young artists just starting out, might have had even less say over their overall look, sound and feel.

So without further ado, let’s check out nine of these “Forgotten Features.” It will be fun, weird and kinda mind-blowing in places, but most of all it’s not work. Happy Labor Day!

1.) Wale’s “Chillin” featuring Lady Gaga

This video from 2009 shows Gaga at her earliest: enigmatic, mysterious, perhaps more wig than woman. She’s also affecting some kind of M.I.A. circa “Paper Planes” attitude — all cool, calm and collected. It’s a far cry from the outspoken “Applause” singer we know today.

2.) 3OH!3′s “Starstrukk” featuring Katy Perry

Back before we heard Katy “Roar,” she was just One Of The Boys — in this case Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte of 3OH!3. (They were kind of ...

On Sunday (August 31) several reports of allegedly leaked nude photos of celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, Kate Upton and many more began to surface. The photos were said to have been acquired and leaked by the message board/unsavory internet community of 4chan, which has been known for conducting cyber sabotage of varying levels in the past.

Jennifer Lawrence’s publicist confirmed the veracity of her nude photos to Buzzfeed.

“This is a flagrant violation of privacy,” a spokesperson for Jennifer Lawrence told Buzzfeed via email. “The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.”

The photos were reportedly obtained through an iCloud leak that allowed hackers to access celebrities’ phones, and they were posted on a 4chan thread in an attempt to earn bitcoins. MTV will not link to the thread itself.

There is supposedly a master list of celebrities that the user has nudes of, including people like Rihanna, Aubrey Plaza, Selena Gomez, Kate Bosworth and more. Screenshots of the supposed master list can be found here.

One of the affected celebrities, Victoria Justice, has tweeted that the alleged leaked nudes of her are fake:

Another, actress Mary Winstead tweeted about deleting her leaked nudes long ago, and chastising people for looking at photos that were meant for her and her husband only.

Many of the ...

If anything makes me wish it was summer forever, it’s theme parks. And this looks like the rollercoaster to rule them all. A 4D Batman theme park ride that spins all of the ways while you’re doing all of the drops? This looks too scary to be real. It literally takes you 360 degrees.

This thing has got to be an April Fools’ joke come early. Like, there’s no way any living human with half a shred of sanity would get on this thing, right?

Six Flags San Antonio — the coaster’s home — is just kidding, certainly, yeah? The only time of year that anyone would ever carefree and YOLO enough try this is summer. Then again, it comes out in 2015 so we can’t be too nostalgic can we?

Seriously, this thing looks like a fight sequence that the Dark Knight himself might take pause to try it.

Nah, he’d probably still be fine. Take a look at a full run of this monstrosity and begin planning your trip to Texas immediately. This is going to be next summer’s main attraction.

Yup: Six Flags San Antonio just solidified its place in history as home of the scariest, most-superheroic rollercoaster ever. Will you have the guts to try it?

After several days worth of reports that icon and comedian Joan Rivers was in stable condition following a vocal chord procedure gone awry, new details paint a slightly different picture as to the star’s health. TMZ is reporting that Rivers’ is currently on life support, though her family remains hopeful for signs of improvement.

This updated report comes after news that the comedian was in stable, and then critical, condition following what several outlets are reporting to be a cardiac arrest that occurred sometime during her vocal chord surgery last week. Other reports simply state that Rivers stopped breathing.

Deadline has official word from Rivers’ daughter Melissa, who claimed nothing more than a “serious condition” status, adding that “[the family's] fingers are crossed.” The younger Rivers also thanked fans for the outpouring of thoughts, prayers, and support during this difficult time.

On Friday, Melissa Rivers released the following statement to Deadline:

“My mother would be so touched by the tributes and prayers that we have received from around the world. Her condition remains serious but she is receiving the best treatment and care possible. We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts as we pray for her recovery.”

By Saturday, neither Rivers’ family nor Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York had any official updates on her well-being, but various outlets claimed varying confirmation of her status. USA Today reported Rivers was in a medically-induced coma after going into cardiac arrest during ...

Remember the sheer and unadulterated glory of Rihanna‘s Instagram account?

The emptiness in our lives since the singer deleted her account/had it suspended has been palpable, which is probably why she decided to bless us with some cameos in her friend’s Insta videos this weekend.

Wherever she is, it looks like Rih Rih is having a better Labor Day weekend than any of us. Appearing through clouds of smoke, she’s rocking a strappy, tan bikini, and listening to the newest hot rap track Bobby Shmurda‘s “Hot N—a” on a yacht with her friends.

The glorious dance moves, gorgeous weather and sense of overall chill make this moment feel unmissable. Oh, and there’s the fact that she’s doing the meme, wildfire “shmoney dance.”

And a little more shomney:

Real slow now:

Everyone is remixing the New York rapper’s track, even French Montana offered a version, but can you imagine if Rihanna did a remix? Then we’d all be shmoney dancing—not just Drake or Michael Jackson in this this amazing mashup.

We though Shmurda made it when he signed a record deal with Epic, or maybe even when he judged a “So You Think You Can Shmoney Dance” battle. But now we know, Rihanna’s midas touch is the true signal. Shmurda is fire.

Awwww! Volcanoes are having a moment right now (what with two of them going off around the world at the moment), but this one’s likely the only one to melt your ever-loving heart with love (rather than, y’know, incinerating it with fire and ash). Naturally, it’s not so much a real one as a Pixar animated one, but still: a little bit of adorable, personified cuteness never hurt anybody, right?

“Lava,” as the short is titled because of course it is, introduces us to a lovesick volcano named Uku who only wants to find another volcano, and in turn, love. As the days turn into nights and continue to add up, his one dream remains true: he wants to find somebody to love-ah. Lava, love-ah: get it? Adorable freaking puns are adorable.

Because Uku is just the cutest. He has dreams:

He wants love:

And he’ll wait as long as it takes to find it:

AWWWW! UKU you ol’ romantic, you! Here’s the clip, complete with Uku’s lovely singing voice:

See? You’re feeling things! An engorged sense of joy and love, aren’t you?

Unfortunately we’ve still got awhile to wait before the full “Lava” lands in our lives: the full short is slated to debut in front of the studio’s next full-length feature, “Inside Out,” premiering June 19, 2015.

Yesterday, (August 30) Kid Cudi fainted while performing at the North Coast music festival in Chicago. Cudi had been performing “Pursuit Of Happiness” and walking through the photo pit to talk to fans. But after stopping to sign one autograph, he collapsed. Luckily, security was right there to help him up and directly provide medical assistance.

A fan happened to be shooting a video at the moment and caught the incident on camera. (Note: The sound is very distorted and loud on this video, turning down your volume first is recommended.)

After he was taken to get medical assistance, Cudi took to Twitter to address the situation. First off, Cudi tweeted to let his fans know he was fine:

Then, he thanked everyone for coming out and caring about him. “To everyone who f—ing came out tonight, wow. All the love, Just way too overwhelming,” he wrote. “Blessed to have fans who actually give a f–k about me,” he wrote in his next tweet.

Then, he explained the situation.

He closed out the series of tweets by affirming his love for the Chi and tweeting: “I love you Chicago. Don’t you forget that sh-t. Ever.”

And he apologized if any of his fans were upset about the scare.

You don’t have to apologize to us Cudi, we’re just glad you’re okay! Stay healthy Cudder.

It looks as though the inhabitants of Storybrooke are anything but pleased about Elsa’s shockingly dark arrival to “Once Upon A Time.”

In a new season-four teaser brought to the world exclusively by The Hollywood Reporter, “Frozen” princess extraordinaire, Elsa (Georgina Haig) is shown ambling through the small town, passing landmarks as she goes, freezing the place up in her wake. Uh oh!

Continuing the trend of not showing us her face, the back of Elsa is shown wandering past several townsfolk and landmarks.

There’s Granny’s Diner; Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) and his shop; Mary Margaret/Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin); David/Prince Charming (Josh Dallas); Captain Hook (Colin O’Donoghue); even Regina/Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) and Emma (Jennifer Morrison) — none of them nearly as pleased as fans of the film and ABC series are like to be.

And don’t expect the “Once Upon A Time” Elsa to be all that happy-go-lucky either, ya’ll.

“Here we go again,” Regina mused unhappily, with Emma adding an annoyed “Really?” to the end of it all. Bad princess, freezing everything in sight: bad!

Guess that’s what happens when you have a raccoon named Rocket and a tree-thing named Groot: you become the highest grossing film of the year, domestically speaking.

Not that such a feat was EVER a sure thing (to put it mildly), but “Guardians of the Galaxy” has seated itself high above its other cinematic bedfellows, pulling the title of highest grossing film in the U.S. in 2014, even beating out “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”

This proves once and for all the only things America loves more than America itself are chatty animals acting human and giant, lumbering trees (ha ha — see what we did there?) that say no more than 3 words. This is an especially big win considering this summer has been one of the worst for film industry sales since 1997!

As of Friday, “Guardians” was the number one film at the box office again this weekend, bringing its domestic total to $262.1 million, according to Box Office Mojo. A film once widely speculated to be the “first Marvel flop” is now on track to break the $300 million mark — and it would be the first film of the year to do so.

I guess sometimes all the world needs is a ragtag bunch to do the impossible. Even Iron Man himself thinks its the best movie the comic industry monolith has made thus far. Underdogs for the win!
