Most teens mark a one year anniversary with a burger at McDonald's and a movie, but when your Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, you do things a little differently.
Considering an average date night for the young couple has included renting out the Staples Center, it's no surprise they are spending their one year anniversary of dating at a posh resort in Cabo.]]>
Kobe Bryant just won the NBA finals but he isn’t going to Disney World; he’s going to Cabo. "That's all I want to see," Kobe said after the game, "I want to see a beach, some waves, maybe a surfboard."
Bryant had 30 points, six rebounds, five assists and four blocked shots in last night’s game against the Orlando Magic, helping the LA Lakers win 99-86. He took a little something home for himself too—his first Finals MVP trophy. ]]>
Unfortunately, we didn't manage to finagle our way onto the Mayercraft Carrier II, the much talked about celebrity cruise involving and inspired by singer John Mayer and his most passionate fans. But while the boat's still out at sea until tomorrow, reports are trickling back to land, despite onboard tweeters being slapped with roaming charges.
The trip so far, according to John: There were toasts, ill-advised songwriting sessions and collegiate cliché-forming and all of it was very busy. Mayer may or may not be headed to bed right now after "DJing" with iTunes till 7AM.
The trip so far, according to other tweeters:
· "Vom'd the first night. Success!" --urka21
· "Yoga, swim, lay out, water slide, live bands --- life is good on Mayercraft" - hotasmiah13
· "I woke up on the balcony of a room on cruise ship...funny thing is I don't have a balcony in my room." -JayTayLIVE
· "Soft serve ice cream is 4 decks up! Have to keep moving chair for perfect tan..." --MjBubbles
· "Mayercraft tip: Don't fall asleep on top of the TV remote. My back's aching and I accidentally ordered "Horton Hears a Who" on demand." --carlmayer, John's brother, who apparently prefers towel animals to tour dates?

George Clooney's Mustache, it seems, wasn't invited along on a New Year's trip to Cabo, where Clooney himself met up with Cindy Crawford, her husband Rande Gerber and, somehow, Kid Rock. Lest our facial hair fanaticism be squelched, the pugnacious hick-hopper had his ratty 'stache in full effect. (Somehow, Kid Rock's look just isn't the same Clooney's.)
Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox were also in Cabo for the New Year, alongside David Arquette, who packed his own mustache. We're still waiting to see if the freshly shaven Clooney will keep his face fuzz-free in 2009--or if he was just trying to avoid looking like C-listers on New Year's Eve.

This week in the Pratt-Montag household: Heidi's miffed mother, Darlene Egelhoff, told US Weekly she's "devastated" about not being included in wedding plans and predicts the match will not last longer than six months.
Back in season 3, it was to her house in Crested Butte, Colorado that Heidi fled and Spencer chased her. More recently, Egelhoff had lunch with Spencer where she called him "very controlling and manipulative" to his face, but that didn't really deter him. (Does anything?) So, she was never really on Team Spencer. Heidi shot back, saying she found it "extremely disappointing" for her mom to suggest Spencer manipulated her into getting hitched.
Meanwhile, the tabloid's competitors are claiming that the marriage may not ever be official in the States. In Touch claims the wedding was a sham, staged to fulfill a contract with US to provide a certain number of cover-worthy exclusives, and that a Mexican waiting-period law would make an impulsive on-the-beach wedding impossible. Wedding site The Knot gives a laundry list of documents that need to be taken to the consulate in the case of a legal wedding, including birth certificates and blood tests and X-rays performed in the country, and suggests brides allow "two to four days" to get all their paperwork in order. But knowing Spencer as we do, he could just be devious enough to plan all that out without our notice...
Thank goodness the entire dog-and-pony show will be featured on "The Hills"' fifth season.

Awful beard-haver Spencer Pratt and "singer" Heidi Montag have reportedly married while on vacation in Mexico. Friend of the now-family Perez Hilton says the ceremony was held at the One&Only Palmilla in Cabo, and it wasn't too fancy:
The ceremony was held on the beach. And, it wasn't planned.
There were no family members present for the ceremony, which lasted only 15 minutes.
Funny, we remember Heidi calling off the wedding when Spencer didn't want to invite the family and elope instead. Brainwashing complete!

Previously: Oh, who cares. We're going to Cabo!!!
Fans of "Laguna Beach" will remember the famed "Cabo Trip" episode from Season 1, in which Lauren was forced to stare down Kristin Cavallari for the affections of her then-crush. (We weren't in this game back then, but you can always read the TVGasm recap.) The drunkenness! The drama!
It's a little different this time, and not just because Brody flew everyone in his private plane to a giant house. "I think we should all leave our problems behind," Lauren says on the plane. "Except Audrina, she brought hers with her." That problem's name is J-U-S-T-I-N (B-O-B-B-Y), who has a new look for the trip:]]>
