Simpson-Wentz wedding may be soon

Los Angeles – Though Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are keeping a tight lid on their nuptuals, it’s looking like a wedding is imminent.

Aerial photos posted Friday at several celebrity Web sites, credited to the Insight News & Features paparazzi photo agency, purport to show the Simpson family home near Los Angeles dotted with large white party tents.

People.com reported Wentz and Simpson’s father, Joe Simpson, had dinner Thursday night at celebrity eatery Mr. Chow before celebrating the Fall Out Boy bassist’s bachelor party.

McEntire says awards show more fun now

Las Vegas – After wrapping up a successful concert tour, you’d think Reba McEntire would want to take some time off to relax. Instead, the tireless country star is preparing for her 10th turn as host of the Academy of Country Music Awards this weekend. Over the years, she says she’s gained more ease hosting the event.

“I’ve got a lot more confidence,” McEntire told AP Television at rehearsals Friday. “I know a lot more of these folks that I get to work with, and we’re a wonderful team. And it’s, I don’t want to say, ‘old hat,’ ’cause I still get a little nervous and butterflies still happen when I get on that stage. But I think I have more fun with it now than I did the first time.”
