Sara Gilbert is one happily married lady. The co-host of The Talk, 39, who wed musician Linda Perry late last month, gushed about her Justine Ungaro-photographed nuptials Monday on her show, sharing everything from photos to the meal plan to the special gift she received from her wife. "It definitely feels different," she explained to the audience, of life as a newlywed. "It feels more different than you expect. You feel like you're part of this institution and it's official, and, oh, I better not mess this up. You feel safer in a way and you feel like you've really committed and it's not about,...

I went to an 80s rock concert this weekend and a wedding broke out ... is how guests at the nuptials of Linda Perry and Sara Gilbert must have felt ... because the affair was Jam Packed with rock performances. Perry and Gilbert tied the knot in Malibu on Sunday, after announcing their engagement a year ago. According to our sources, Sharon Osbourne, Julie Chen, Aisha Tyler, Steven Tyler, Juliette Lewis and Tobey Maguire were all in attendance.

Bow Wow Wow announced they will be reuniting for the first time in 30 years for a UK tour. The band best known for "I Want Candy" gained its charm partially from lead singer Annabella Lwin's 15-year-old girl vocals. At 45, will she, and the rest of the band, be able to recreate the hype they had in the past?

Bow Wow Wow certainly isn't the first band, and it's guaranteed they won't be the last, to venture back into their old ways -- many a popular-gone-defunct band has toured, from Led Zeppelin to Pinback. And, while these reunion shows and tours can stir excitement for many a super fan, they sometimes strike the wrong nerve. Some argue these tours stall creativity with the reliance on old hits instead of original material.

With that in mind, here are our picks for the best, and the best of the worst, reunion tours:...

Bow Wow Wow have announced plans for their first full tour in 30 years. The new wave band - comprising Annabella Lwin and bass player Lee Gorman - will play 12 gigs throughout the UK from April. Original bassist Matthew Ashman passed away in 1995. The group formed in 1980 along with drummer David Barbarossa and were managed by Malcolm McLaren. They had a number of hits in the 1980s including 'Go Wild in the Country' and a cover of 'I Want Candy'. Bow Wow Wow's tour schedule in full is as (more)...

Jim Riffel, who has spent the last 25 years painting houses, has offered 10,000 dollars to go to Kevin Smith's charity of choice if he will only review his classy-sounding new horror comedy, "Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating, Crawling, Alien, Zombified, Subhumanoid, Living Dead - Part 5."

I kind of feel like this whole story is a joke. I mean, there's definitely a sense of humor going on about these people. Either they're totally fucking with us, Or they genuinely don't know how awful they are. How can they not know? I'm fully willing to take the chance that this is all a joke, in which case, touche, Mr. Riffel. If it's Not, however...

Musical bomb-thrower, cultural rabble-rouser, fashion icon, ultimate hype man. A day after the death of former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren from cancer at the age of 64, tributes poured in for the irrepressible self-promoter who many consider the godfather of punk rock.

McLaren died on Thursday in a Swiss hospital after a long battle with a rare form of cancer called mesothelioma, and even though they had a fraught professional relationship, former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon (a.k.a. "Johnny Rotten") had uncharacteristically kind words for his former boss. "For me Malc was always entertaining, and I hope you remember that," Lydon said in a statement attributed to his stage name.
