Tony Romo & Candice Crawford Tie the Knot!

After seeing his high-profile romance with Jessica Simpson fizzle out, NFL star Tony Romo quietly moved on by starting a relationship with Dallas/Ft. Worth sports reporter Candice Crawford.

Working out as well as could be hoped, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback and the sister of "Gossip Girl" actor Chace Crawford sealed their love during a Dallas, Texas wedding on Saturday (May 28).

With the festivities taking place at Arlington Hall, the nuptials drew out 600 guests including Romo's current teammates Dez Bryant and Miles Austin, as well as past Cowboys greats such as Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach.

Having gotten engaged back in December 2010, a source told People magazine of the scene, "It was perfect! From the ceremony in beautiful white, to a vibrant after-party and great music selected by Tony himself."

Robert Pattinson In 'Cosmopolis': First Look!

Robert Pattinson spent eight months on the set of "Breaking Dawn" and was immediately pulled from the set to begin his whirlwind press duties for "Water for Elephants" last month. After perhaps just enough time to take a quick nap, RPattz is now back on a new set: "Cosmopolis," director David Cronenberg's adaptation of the slim Don DeLillo novel.

With production under way, Cronenberg's daughter has posted the first look at Pattinson and Sarah Gadon in character. The photo appears to capture the duo in a cab, though the great majority of the action, or lack thereof, in the book takes place in a limousine. Pattinson plays Eric Packer, a young and rich asset manager who, over the course of one day, manages to lose millions of dollars yet remain oddly detached from it all as his limo plods through horrendous New York City traffic. Gadon portrays Elise, a rich and beautiful heiress who is married to Packer but who doesn't seem to care for him very much at all and who certainly won't sleep with him.

"I had read the script about eight months ago and thought, 'Wow, this is something that hasn't been made in a long time,' "Pattinson told MTV News in March. "Which I think, like 'Water for Elephants' as well, I'm just trying to find that kind of stuff, because what else is the point? There's so much generic, everything's the same. So you might as well attempt to try something different."

When we caught up with him again in April, Rob revealed that he'd been working with a dialect coach to achieve a "very specific accent." But he still hadn't spoken with Gadon about the upcoming project. "I've seen a couple of things she's done," he said. "She's really good."

Magazine Fab: Alicia Keys Does "W" Magazine And Thanks Fans For Falling In Love With Her Music

In the June 2011 issue of W Magazine, Alicia Keys reflects on the ten-year anniversary of Songs in A Minor and why she's glad she never compromised her artistic integrity.

Above, Alicia wears an Alexander McQueen wool jacket, Ellen Christine hat and Versace ring.
 

In the latest issue of W Magazine, Alicia Keys reflects on her entry into the music business saying,

“I just wanted to be who I was, which was like so many other girls I knew. We grew up in the city, had a hard edge and obstacles to overcome, but we were still young and beautiful. I didn’t want to be all dressed up, all made up—I wanted to be myself, which hadn’t been done before.”

So that explains why the Alicia Keys we met in the "Fallin'" video looked like the girl next door.  Someone we all could relate to. 

Alicia also said she didn't want to be controlled by the opinions of her handlers.  She continued,

“I was a young girl with very strong ideas but no experience. I just knew that everything else I was doing was wrong—that all the suggestions weren’t what was in my mind, they weren’t what it was meant to be.”

But she trusted her gut instincts and with 10 million records sold, it all paid off.

“How terrible would it have been if I had come out with some watered-down version of who I am? People fell in love with the real me, and I still feel blessed that that was how the journey began.”

Alicia got dripped in red nails and lips.
