If you inexplicably heard wedding bells chiming yesterday, you weren’t imagining things: Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade tied the knot in Miami!

The intimate ceremony between the “Being Mary Jane” actress and the Miami Heat shooting guard took place at the Chateau Artisan mansion. Sources are staying tight-lipped about the guest list and ceremony details, but People has the gorgeous exclusive photo of the bride and groom.

We know celebrity pals John Legend (who also performed for the newlyweds) and actress (and officiant) Essence Atkins were in attendance, and the Daily Mail reported that many of Wade’s teammates – including Shane Battier, Ray Allen and Chris Bosh – were invited.

The overjoyed couple took to social media the day before, posting Instagrams that included the hashtag #thewadeunion. We’re particularly partial to Union’s smokin’ rehearsal dinner getup.

And her shot of the couple leaving the celebration, complete with exclamation, “Let’s gooooooo!” makes it pretty clear they were more than ready to get hitched!

But Wade‘s shot of his bride-to-be with his sons and nephew, simply captioned “SQUAD..” definitely earns all the heartstring tugs.

We can’t wait to hear more about the wedding – if it was even remotely as unique and heartwarming as their save the date video, we’ll need to keep the tissues handy. Congrats to the happy couple!

Your favorite Golden Globe-winning wacky detectives of NYC’s 99th precinct are back!

“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” will return to Fox for its second season this fall, but you won’t need to wait that long for a preview of the antics to come.

Looks like we’ll pick up right where Jake (Andy Samberg) and Charles (Joe Lo Truglio) left off, with Jake under cover in some aggressively ’80s-esque garb—as Samberg says, “hairstyles have been adjusted.” Meanwhile, Charles is balancing the after-effects of his illicit one-night-stand with Gina (Chelsea Peretti), which involves the entire squad, to hilarious effect. “I can’t wait – they’re gonna get caught, aren’t they?” exclaims Melissa Fumero aka adorable-yet-majorly-OCD Detective Amy Santiago.

But what about Jake and Amy? Sadly, there’s no mention of what’s going on between those two in the clip. Guess we’ll have to wait till the season starts.

The answer to this, and many more of your burning questions, to come when the show premieres September 28th!

Sharon Standifird has served in the Gulf War and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, but those challenges paled in comparison to getting her son Bradley to quit ignoring her calls and texts. So now, thanks(?) to Standifird, there’s an app for that. We’re guessing she wasn’t vying to add that coveted “Parent of the Year” title to her resume.

ABC News is reporting on the app, called “Ignore No More,” which allows parents to lock their children’s phones when they don’t receive a swift reply. Brb, bolting our phones to our hips.

Google Play

The app - which needs to be downloaded onto both kids and parent’s devices in order to work – is currently only available for Androids on Google Play, so iPhone users can breathe a sigh of relief – for now.

Don’t let your phone out of your sight, because once that app’s on it, your ‘rents can shut down all your calls, texts, Internet and games if you try giving them the cellular slip. Your phone will remain bricked (with the option to reach only pre-approved contacts) until you call your parents and they enter an unlock code.

Google Play

There are so many ways this can backfire. It’d be bad enough to have your parents commanding your communicado, but what if a jealous ex or controlling friend gets their hands on your phone and installs the app? We can imagine a million different ways the ...

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has been catching on like freezing liquid wildfire, with celebrities like Taylor Swift and Jaime King, Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, Ansel Elgort, Lil Wayne and Questlove getting in on the body-drenching action and nominating their famous friends to follow suit. But leave it to Justin Beiber to…ehem…elect the ultimate candidate for the next super-saturating round.

In an Instagram post, Bieber responds to his manager Scooter Braun’s challenge, saying, “Now I nominate Ellen, Barack Obama, and – who else? Chris D’Elia.” before cascading water atop his expertly-mussed coif.

WAIT. HOLD UP.

Did Justin Bieber seriously prompt our nations’ president to dump a bucket of ice water on his head? And after the White House shot down that pesky deportation petition? Let’s all just let that sink in for a minute.

Justin Bieber. Barack Obama. Negative degrees of separation (literally). As we live and breathe, we never thought we’d see the day. Your move, Mr. President. Related thought: who would Obama challenge? Go crazy in the comments kids.

Apparently, between being his high school class clown and morphing into the kind of dude you should definitely date, Chris Pratt‘s life wasn’t all chuckles and chiseled abs.

In an interview with The Independent last month, the “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Parks and Recreation” actor discussed his financial struggles after dropping out of college and earning a one-way ticket to Hawaii.

“It’s a pretty awesome place to be homeless,” he says, remembering his days sleeping in a van or in a tent on the beach. “It would be different if I lived on the streets of Chicago and ate garbage from a dumpster. …You know, it was charming time.”

And now, Pratt has enlightened us as to just what specific brand of “charm” he was referring to – and let’s just say, it wasn’t only his unkempt hair that was shaggy at the time. Posting a photo to his Facebook page on Friday, he wrote, “Can’t believe I found this picture!!! That is the van I lived in!!! In my hand is the script for the movie that got me out of Maui. Crazy.” We hope it came with a plentiful supply of Scooby snacks.

The script for Pratt’s first movie role was given to him by actor-director Rae Dawn Chong, who was lucky enough to be one of Pratt’s customers when he was a waiter at the Bubba Gump Shrimp ...

New York City mass transit commuters are a jaded bunch. With a cacophony of drum circles, panhandlers, violinists, mariachi bands and break dancers competing to earn their daily attention (and hard-earned cash), it’s easy to understand why most folks simply tune out and concentrate on their iPhones or e-books.

Which is why it’s even more triumphant that a group of people were able to capture the collective attention of one full subway train. Never mind that they happen to be the uber-talented cast of Broadway’s “The Lion King” – this is definitely an event akin to an army of Baby Simbas sprouting wings (though not quite as adorable).

Presumably to celebrate the dual milestone of both 2013 NYC subway ridership and the show’s ticket sales totaling $1 billion (or because the actors relish any opportunity to scream at strangers without being arrested), the cast harmonized and hyena-cackled their way through a surprise performance of “Circle of Life” on an A express train.

The looks on those little girl’s faces! The incredible acoustics backed by the melodic whirring of the car through the tunnel! New Yorkers not just high-fiving, but also joining in to sing along! GOOSEBUMPS.

Now that Thor is a woman and The Falcon is Marvel’s new Captain America, the folks at Dorkly saw fit to dream up a few more progressive superheroes.

Our money’s on Stay at Home Hulk (provided the big-screen version includes an Ant-Man babysitting cameo so we can watch Ruffalo rendered starstruck all over again).

Dorkly

We’re also down with Vegan Wolverine – Hugh Jackman’s been shunning hair as of late, so why not meat and dairy, too?

Dorkly

You also can’t go wrong with Wonder Woman in the classic outfit plus equal pay (though we’re not totally opposed to Gal Gadot’s version).

We couldn’t dream up a better scenario for the perpetually in-development “Ghostbusters” continuation: “Bridesmaids” and “The Heat” director Paul Feig is being eyed to helm a reboot of the film featuring an all-female cast.

The Hollywood Reporter disclosed that Sony is taking a new direction, shifting focus from “Ghostbusters 3″ to a totally fresh start, and Feig’s rep confirmed to MTV News that the studio is planning a reboot.

Though formal negotiations haven’t begun, Feig is apparently Sony’s first choice to direct. We’re just gonna go ahead and let Feig muse Melissa McCarthy telegraph our thoughts on the matter.

Guess it’s time for us to brush up our fantasy casting (though you can stay, Aubrey Plaza!)

Are you down with a Paul Feig-directed “Ghostbusters” reboot? Who would you cast in his all-female version? Let us know in the comments!

Maybe she’s feeling extra-protective because her first crush was on Ninja Turtle Michaelangelo? Whatever the reason, Megan Fox hasn’t got time for your “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” hate.

At the film’s Los Angeles press conference yesterday, Fox had words for fans who’ve voiced dissatisfaction about the reboot.

“Let me tell you something about those people. How much money did ‘Transformers 4′ make?” she asked. “Exactly. Those people can complain – they all go to the theater. They’re gonna love it – and if they don’t love it, they can f-ck off, and that’s the end of that.”

This isn’t the first time Fox has stood strong in the face of negative reactions to her casting as April O’Neil, as well as general discontent over the Michael Bay-produced reboot of the beloved series.

This latest comment is essentially keeping in line with her no-BS outlook, which we find pretty refreshing. Only time will tell if her theory proves prophetic.

Are you planning to see “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” when it releases on August 8? Tell us in the comments!

The Television Critics Association hosted its 30th Annual TCA Awards presentation last night, and the big winners may just lend a hint regarding this year’s Emmy Award recipients.

AMC’s “Breaking Bad” took home its second consecutive “Program of the Year” title, while the Netflix series “Orange is the New Black” won “Outstanding New Program.” Matthew McConaughey’s Rust Cohle circled his way into an “Individual Achievement in Drama” win for HBO’s “True Detective,” while “Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus took home “Individual Achievement in Comedy” honors for the network.

“True Detective” reigned victorious with two awards – both McConaughey’s individual accolades and the “Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries and Specials” honor – fueling the speculation that the first season show could trump the final season of “Breaking Bad” at the Emmys.

HBO continued to clean up with two awards for “Veep” – Louis-Dreyfus’ win, along with a tie for “Outstanding Achievement in Comedy,” shared with FX’s hilarious and refreshing “Louie” (can we expect a stand-up bit about this in the next season, Louis C.K.?)

We’re personally pretty jazzed to see “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in there (for “Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming”) alongside “COSMOS: A SpaceTime Odyssey” for “Outstanding Achievement in News and Information” – as we vehemently support any endeavor that pairs Neil deGrasse Tyson and RuPaul together on a stage.

See a full list of the winners here. The 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air August 25th.
