Wilkinson and (now) hubby Hank Baskett did the matrimonial deed last night on the grounds of the Playboy mansion.  Judging by these photos (that appear to have been taken from a helicopter) the ceremony looks very glamorous and classy, in spite of the fact that it took place at the bride’s geriatric ex-boyfriend’s house. That’s a little strange to me, but I must be very old-fashioned. Excuse me while I go launder my chastity belt in the washtub.

“Holly cried like a faucet and I held back tears,” said [Bridget] Marquardt before heading off to the reception. “I’m usually the emotional one. The ceremony was short and sweet and bombarded by helicopters. [Kendra's] dress was like a princess and I’m going to catch the bouquet!”

The couple plan to honeymoon on an undisclosed island. All Kendra would reveal about the location is that it’s somewhere the two are going to “be able to walk around naked.” Which doesn’t rule out anywhere.

Informercial Pitchman Billy Mays Found Dead

Okay. I’ve had enough now.

Billy Mays, the TV pitchman whose trademark voice helped sell everything from cleaning supplies to baking soda, was found dead this morning by his wife at his Tampa home. No cause of death has been reported and no foul play is suspected, according to Tampa police.

Mays, 50, was pronounced dead at 7:45 a.m. at a Bowen Daniel Drive condo. His wife, Deborah Mays, found him unresponsive this morning. The Medical Examiner’s Office will complete Mays’ autopsy by tomorrow afternoon.

No other information is currently available.

Perhaps ironically, Mays escaped mortal peril yesterday afternoon when the U.S. Airways flight he was on blew out a tire on its landing gear. The plane managed to land safely, and Mays escaped harm, only to be found by his wife early this morning.

Mays was a TV staple, pitching products such as Oxiclean, Orange Clean, and Kaboom, and starring in a reality TV show on the Discovery Channel called Pitchmen, which followed Mays and another infomercial svengali, Anthony Sullivan. His booming voice and very manly beard will be missed. Thoughts and prayers for the family.

Madonna took newly purchased adopted daughter Mercy to the Kabbalah Centre in London this morning, along with David, Lourdes, Rocco, and ex husband Guy Ritchie. Madonna gave Mercy a piggy back ride as the two quickly exited the center and ducked into a waiting car.

To better introduce her to Kabbalah, Madge plans to take Mercy to Jerusalem to see the Wailing Wall. The trip won’t occur until later in the year however; Madonna wants to give Mercy time to “settle in” to her new London home.

Mercy looks adorable, if not exactly happy. I’m sure she’s probably still a little bewildered.

This debuted on L.A. radio Friday morning.

I’d like to write something about it, but I’m too busy deciding whether to laugh or vomit. So I’ll just let the song’s lyrics speak for themselves.

“The world is Michael Jackson.
I’m Michael Jackson.
You’re Michael Jackson.
We all Michael Jackson.”

< Insert vocal track of Chris Brown singing about some angels crying >

And I’m not sure, but at about 1:08 I think The Game is confessing that both he and Usher were molested.

Remember the kid who tried to give Megan Fox a yellow rose at the London premiere of Transformers and was “snubbed?” Remember how Kodak uncovered the boy’s true identity, then offered to fly him to New York and arrange a meeting with Fox during her segment on the Today show in an odd and oblique attempt to market their products?

Earlier this week, Wendie reported that Harvey once again failed to deliver his token of affection when coverage of Michael Jackson’s death bumped the Fox segment on the Today show. But it turns out that Kodak had never made arrangements for him to meet Fox in the first place. According to the Today Show, “Harvey was never scheduled to appear and we don’t plan to have him on.”

A source tells Page Six,
“Kodak basically put this kid on a plane on the off-chance that he’d get to meet her. They never even confirmed with ‘Today.’ Now they’re offering him around for interviews. It’s exploitative and creepy.”

What the hell, Kodak?

Katy Perry Naked in a Bathtub with a Pizza

Katy Perry posted this picture to her Twitter account earlier this week, with the caption “I have no self control.”

She didn’t try to explain it, so neither will I.
