LA Galaxy Playing FC Barcelona This Weekend at Rose Bowl

Los Angeles is Dodgertown, meaning that locals have plenty of reason to be enthused about home runs, hot dogs, and post-game drinks at The Short Stop. But sports fans should remember that there are other athletic past times well worth buying tickets for. If you've yet to see David Beckham "bend it" in person, seize the opportunity to do so this weekend, when the LA Galaxy takes on FC Barcelona in what's sure to be an epic match at Pasadena's Rose Bowl. Spaniards take soccer seriously, after all, but Galaxy players are no competitive slumps themselves.

Heidi And Spencer, Actually Married This Time

We know you were just hanging onto your monitors all weekend to find out: After three years, 800 fights and two near-misses, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt actually tied the knot this weekend in a Pasadena church, and they made sure everyone was watching.

The bride wore Monique Lhuillier and Neil Lane jewels and walked down the aisle behind her sister Holly, a featured character on "The Hills" who once tried to make Heidi choose between her and Spencer. Both sets of parents were also in attendance and US that Lauren Conrad herself showed, although surely MTV is keeping that detail under its veil before the wedding's inevitable airing on "The Hills"' fifth season. Other visitors from the Hillsiverse: Brody and girlfriend Jayde, Frankie, Audrina, Lo and straight from "Laguna Beach," Kristin Cavallari.

Heidi And Spencer To Wed This Weekend in Pasadena

Break out the extra-special flashbulbs: The celebrity couple we love to hate is tying the knot -- again. They went through with it in Mexico then chickened out in Beverly Hills on the finale of last season's "Hills,", but Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag must be serious about their relationship now, because they've accidentally-on-purpose leaked the church where the wedding they've been held to all and sundry. Guess that couples' counseling made them develop faster than a one-hour photo machine.

It's amazing that the two have enough time to plan a wedding, leak Heidi's latest single to the Internets, shoot annoying photos and cast a crop of girls for their new reality series. Currently called "American Girls," the show announced its ungodly presence in the form of flyers last week on the USC campus. We can only assume it's a "Tough Love"-style self-improvement show, because who doesn't want to take advice from these two goons?

'Brothers and Sisters' Reunite in Pasadena

“Brothers and Sisters”, a.k.a. the show that makes us grateful we're an only child, is filming on Lombardy Road in Pasadena, Calif. today. An upscale residential neighborhood, Lombardy is located just one block south of Huntington Library’s Botanical Gardens.

Housing a large collection of rare books and manuscripts in the fields of British and American literature, the library has become a treasure for academics and book collectors. Their gallery also contains one of the most comprehensive collections of 18th- and 19th-century British and French art in the U.S.

In addition, the Botanical Gardens are a delight to the community, covering 120 acres, they include dozens of specialized gardens like the Desert Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Rose Garden, and the Chinese garden, all situated in a park-like setting throughout the library's lawn. The Huntington Library is open Wed-Mon until 4:30 p.m., adult admission is $15.00.

And here's a shocker, Gossip Girl is filming on the Upper East Side of Manhattan today. Filming permits were spotted along Central Park on 5th Ave, Madison Ave, and E 72nd.

"Chuck" Draws Blood

We have more “Law and Order” news to report! The original L & O will be filming at the American Museum of Natural History today. They recently opened The Polar Rink, the first skating rink at the museum since it opened 140 years ago. This isn’t just any skating rink; it's made from a recyclable synthetic surface and is located on the museum’s Arthur Ross Terrace.

On the west coast, "Chuck" is filming outside of the local Red Cross Chapter on Madeline Drive in Pasadena, California. Perhaps becoming a regular blood donor will be part of Chuck's five year plan?

Movie Set Travel: Step Brothers

It's time to beat the blazing, uncomfortable days of summer with a little humor, and Will Ferrell-style laughs are a good choice. Our favorite love-handled man is back with John C. Reilly in "Step Brothers," opening today.

The two play spoiled rich adult men (translation: they act like 12-year-olds) whose single parents get married, sparking a competition between Brennan (Will) and Dale (John). Of course it involves pranks, antics and shots of both flabby dudes in bathing suits, which is always worth a cheap laugh.

This one was shot in LA, but also in a fun, laid-back spot outside the city: Pasadena. No longer a city entirely made up of little old ladies, we offer you some cool things to check out there:

Shopping in SoCal: Where Celebs Get Their Flea Market Fix

The Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, California is one of the most popular flea markets in the country. The bargain shopper's paradise is held every second Sunday of the month in and around the Rose Bowl stadium from the special VIP opening time of 5 am until 4:30 pm.

The market has pretty much everything you can imagine for sale from antique sewing machines to 1950s furniture to African beads, vintage clothes, china, old records, old-school toys (My Little Ponies, Karate Kid figurines), appliances and our fave, shabby chic decor.

While the crowds really start to pack in around 11 am, we suggest going early--like at 8 am--if you want to spot celebrities. That's what we did and we spied "Grey's Anatomy" star, T. R. Knight getting some cash out of the ATM while his new boyfriend waited patiently. That's our stalkerazzi shot above.
