Zac Hanson of pop group Hanson wed longtime girlfriend, Kate Tucker, this weekend, the group's publicist said.

Katie McNeil said, Hanson, 20, and Tucker, 22, his girlfriend of five years, were married Saturday in Atlanta.

"The couple is planning an intimate ceremony with close family and friends," McNeil said in an e-mail. Hanson and his brothers Isaac, 25, and Taylor, 23, formed Hanson in Tulsa. They are best known for their 1997 hit single, MMMBop, which helped ignite the boy band craze.

The trio is now working on a followup to their 2004 album, Underneath.

Tom Green is getting another late-night talk show - this time online.

Nearly three years after MTV axed his show, ManiaTV.com will begin hosting a weekly call-in show with the comedian on June 15, live from his living room in the Hollywood Hills. "It seemed like the ultimate playground for someone like me," said Green, who started out on public access TV. "I've always enjoyed doing goofy experimental stuff that sometimes was too weird to put on a TV show but was fun artistically."

"Tom Green Live" will be broadcast and archived on both Denver-based ManiaTV.com and Green's Web site. He is signed up to do 50 one-hour episodes for an undisclosed fee. For Green, the show is an extension of the wacky videos he posts on his Web site, including such stunts as blindfolding a fan and letting the fan post a video blog about it.

Richard Ayoub, ManiaTV's vice president of programming, said Green is being given "complete and total creative control." "We have no standards and practices," Ayoub said. "He is going to be completely uncensored. That's what we can give him that MTV never could."

It was a Hollywood - and a Planet Hollywood - reunion in Las Vegas Sunday night as Sylvester Stallone celebrated his 60th birthday.

The "Rocky" and "Rambo" star was joined by fellow Planet Hollywood founders Bruce Willis and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for the bash at Stallone's soon-to-open Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.

Stallone's wife Jennifer threw the party, which included disco dancing and a birthday serenade from Tom Jones. Other celebrities in attendance included John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston, David Spade and James Caan.

Stallone is scheduled to dust off both the "Rocky" and "Rambo" franchises soon. He is writing and directing "Rocky Balboa," the sixth "Rocky" film, slated for a Christmas release. After that he is scheduled to play Vietnam vet John Rambo once more in "Rambo IV," tentatively scheduled for a 2007 release. The franchise began with "First Blood" in 1982.

Vince Welnick, the Grateful Dead's last keyboard player and a veteran of several other bands, including the Tubes and Missing Man Formation, has died at age 51, the Grateful Dead's longtime publicist said.

Welnick died Friday, said Dennis McNally, who declined to release the cause. The Sonoma County coroner's office said Saturday that an autopsy would be performed next week. Welnick lived in the northern California town of Forestville, but McNally said he did not know if he died at home or in a hospital.

"His service to and love for the Grateful Dead were heartfelt and essential. He had a loving soul and a joy in music that we were lucky to share," the group said in a statement on its Web site. "Our Grateful Dead prayer for the repose of his spirit: May the four winds blow him safely home."

VH1 has continued their tradition of "who the hell are these people?" if this indeed are some of the cast members of The Surreal Life 8 which is said to begin shooting very soon. According to a couple of reports the cast may consist of:

Randy "Macho Man" Savage (wrestler), Peter Steele (of gothic band Type O Negative), A member of the Blue Man Group, Carrot Top (comedian), Tina Jordan (playmate) and Dabney Coleman (actor).

--Every season I think, they can't scrape any lower, and every season, they prove me wrong. Here's to hoping Randy Savage bodyslams the annoying Carrot Top after he exclaims "Dial 1-800-Call-ATT!" for the millionth time.

“American Idol” runner-up Katharine McPhee can count Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes among her McPhans. The couple is rumored to have asked her to sing at their upcoming wedding.

According to Contact Music, Holmes met McPhee when the singer visited the Los Angeles' Church of Scientology. Katharine was at the center to take some courses with her boyfriend and instantly hit it off with Katie upon meeting her. Since then, a source close to the couple says, "Tom and Katie have become Katharine's biggest fans. They think she's destined to become a singing legend."

Cruise and Holmes have become so taken with McPhee - who is known for her resemblance to Holmes - that they have allegedly asked her to be their wedding singer.

--Hmm, now all those rumors about McPhee being a closet Scientologist seem a little more credible...

Lindsay Lohan seems to live by the motto, “You can never be too rich or too thin.” But if the actress doesn’t slow down her spending, she may wind up broke. According to Life & Style Weekly, Lohan’s shopping has gotten so out of hand that she’s sought the help of a hypnotist to control it.

According to Lohan’s stylist, Rachel Zoe, “[Lindsay’s] closets are overflowing with things like $8,000 Prada dresses and $2,000 Balenciaga bags. She has so many clothes, she never even wears some of them!” L&S claims Lindsay spent over $1 million on clothes and accessories alone last year. Between her nightclub hopping, her jet-setting back and forth from NYC and LA and her shopping sprees, Lohan’s $7 million per movie paycheck isn’t going as far as she hoped.

L&S reports that Lindsay - who once said, “I don’t want to be the best-dressed person in the poorhouse” - started seeing the hypnotist after one too many $100,000 shopping trips. The magazine claims that her recent visit to LA boutique Rosasen proves the technique is working as she spent only $920.

That famous "Days of Our Lives" hourglass could be running out of sand - quickly.

NBC, which airs "Days" but doesn't own the soap, is considering canning the 41-year-old daytime drama if it can't negotiate a lower licensing fee, according to Variety. "Days" is currently contracted to remain on NBC through March 2007.

NBC officials had no comment yesterday.

--This just can't occur. I grew up watching this show. NBC should can that awful "Passions" show first.

He told New York Daily News newspaper: "I love a beautiful girl that I can have a conversation with. And a good ass - big and round."

For her first TV role since "Friends" went off the air in 2004, Courteney Cox is digging up some "Dirt" for FX.

The casting process might not have been as grueling as most: Cox, in addition to being an instantly recognizable actress, is also one of "Dirt's" executive producers. "From the start, as an executive producer on 'Dirt,' Courteney has shown tremendous passion for this project," says Nick Grad, head of original programming at FX. "We are absolutely thrilled that Courteney has chosen 'Dirt' for her return to series television."

In the pilot, scheduled to shoot in March, Cox will play Lucy Spiller, editor-in-chief of two widely read celebrity magazines. The show will also focus on a "schizophrenic paparazzo" who works for her and an actor trying to get himself noticed.

Rachel Weisz, 35, gave birth to “a healthy baby boy” Wednesday night in NYC, a close friend of the actress confirms to Us. It is her first child with her fiancé, director Darren Aronofsky, 37.

Though Tuesday was the actress’ due date, a very pregnant Weisz and Aronofsky spent the day walking around the city’s SoHo area, before stopping for lunch at 12 Chairs Cafe. “She looked very happy and kept rubbing her belly,” said an eyewitness.

A former teen model, Weisz is now a spokeswoman for Revlon cosmetics. She began studying acting while she was a student at Cambridge University in England and won an Oscar for best supporting actress for her performance in The Constant Gardener. She will next be seen opposite Hugh Jackman in The Fountain, which Aronofsky directed. He also wrote and directed the critically acclaimed film Requiem for a Dream.

Rappers Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges and Kanye West were cleared on Thursday of accusations they pilfered rhythms and phrases from a song by a small New Jersey group who had filed a copyright case in a New York court.

The little-known group I.O.F. had claimed Ludacris and Grammy Award winner West breached copyright laws by stealing lyrics and style from their song "Straight Like That," using it for the pair's 2003 hit single "Stand Up." The four members of I.O.F., standing for It's Only Family, said they distributed copies of their song to music executives in 2002 and 2003, only to later recognize elements of their song in Ludacris' "Stand Up," co-produced by West.

Jeff Billingsley, manager of I.O.F., said the group was determined to appeal. "Probably Ludacris feels good that he got over this, but he has not gotten away," he told Reuters. Lawyers for Ludacris and West argued during the case that the first time they heard I.O.F.'s song was when the lawsuit was filed, and that similar rhythms and chorus words "like that" contained in both songs were not original to I.O.F.

The case livened up the normally sober proceedings of the U.S. District Court in Manhattan as lawyers played rap music to the jurors as part of their arguments.

Cupid may have slam-dunked Nelly Furtado into the love net of Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash.

In her new song "Promiscuous," Furtado fawns over the 6-foot-3 court hunk, singing, "Is that the truth or are you talkin' trash, is your game MVP like Steve Nash?" Toronto columnist Shinan Govani says the pair appear to be sizzling off-court ever since hitting it off when Furtado performed at Nash's charity event in Canada last summer.

Lark Voorhies, the actress who played Lisa Turtle in TV's 'Saved by the Bell,' has sued the National Enquirer for allegedly libeling her with accusations she had a cocaine addiction.

In a filing Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Voorhies is asking for unspecified punitive damages as a result of the June 2005 article, which quoted a "friend" of Voorhies' as saying she has a "terrible drug problem" and was "bipolar." The actress says the allegations are false.

Voorhies says the Enquirer article cost her several acting jobs, invaded her privacy, and caused her "humilation, embarrassment, hurt feelings, mental anguish, and suffering." A month after the article appeared, Voorhies' doctor, Howard Askins, wrote a letter saying she didn't have a cocaine addiction and wasn't admitted to the hospital for substance abuse.

Jenny McCarthy uncomfortably dodged questions yesterday when she was asked about her new relationship with comedian Jim Carrey while appearing on talk show The View.

The pin-up, who is known for candidly discussing divorce, childbirth and motherhood, was uncharacteristically tight-lipped about her new relationship. She said, "No comment. Does that ever work? The funny thing is I've never said it in my whole life!"

The View co-hosts Star Jones and Joy Behar asked McCarthy if she could confirm that she was dating "a well-known comedian who makes funny faces who is not Jerry Lewis." McCarthy deferred and said people who were interested in who she is dating could "look it up online," hastily adding, "Let's move on to the next topic."

The Truman Show star was recently spotted enjoying an intimate dinner with McCarthy on May 20 at Los Angeles hot spot M Cafe de Chaya. The celebrity couple have been romantically linked since December, but have not confirmed they are dating.
