Ashlee Simpson is legally changing her name to Ashlee Wentz, reports People magazine, quoting Ashlee as saying, “I think that’s something a woman should do when they’re marrying a man.  It’s a tradition that I think is a great tradition.”  I think I’m alone on this one, but I find this tradition about as sexist as they come!   (Alas, if only Jolie’s last name were something simple, like Davis or Smith, she’d be much less tempted to be a total hypocrite and change it anyway if she does eventually marry somebody with an easy last name.)  But that’s neither here nor there; I’m loving Ashlee’s red hair, I think it suits her fun, quirky personality while simultaneously looking glamorous and flattering her complexion.  Knowing how celebrities are quick to pounce on any trend, I wonder if any other starlets will hop on the red bandwagon anytime soon…

People magazine has released a peek at Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s wedding photos; they’re on the cover of this week’s issue with their dog and matching side-swept bangs.  My question: who do you think took longer to get ready?  Probably Pete — those locks don’t flatiron themselves!  Ashlee’s heavily-rimmed eyes look especially pretty, but I’m waiting to reserve beauty judgment until I see more photos - the issue is on sale Friday!

Jenna Bush!  Autumn Kelly!  Ashlee Simpson!  The latest celebrity to get married in the past few nanoseconds is Jessica Alba, who shotgun-wedding-ed Cash Warren yesterday (and apparently her own brother didn’t even know, says US Weekly).  Waiting breathlessly for the wedding pics, I’m not gonna lie…  Here she and Cash are below as featured recently in People’s 50 Most Beautiful issue:
