Scoring Sunday’s Nuptials: Til’ Blog Do Us Part [Altarcations]
Every weekend, the New York Times’ Weddings & Celebrations arise like media manna from the heavens for vicarious brides-to-be and nostalgic has-beens. And every weekend, Gawker Weddings Expert Phyllis Nefler scores them. I now pronounce you blog and Altarcations.I’m not sure if you guys know this, cause it hasn’t been announced
(Psych! The phone’s been ringing off the hook from here inside the house)
But this weekend is the last time Foster Kamer has the keys
To the once-great website which he’s aptly driven to its knees.So because we’re clearly operating absent any rules
And this final weekend feels like Quasimodo’s Feast of Fools
And these newlyweds are basically the contra of legit
I figured, hell, I’ll monkey with the format just a bit.Leslie Streeter writes a weekly column in a Palm Beach rag
Where she chronicles the happenings of all the gents and hags.
Given Florida’s demographics, I suspect that we could get
A situation where the subjects die before The Death of Print.
Leslie first met Scott Zervitz, the man she’d later come to catch,
As a “very nice girl” in high school (he drove a Camaro, natch.)
Facebook brought them back together, as that thing is wont to do,
And she told her readers he’d proposed in a restaurant review.In a story that kind of conjured up the Dirty Dancing plot,
Hali Feldman’s dad first met Ben Friehling in a vacation spot.
And the Feldman family starting dining yearly at Benji and Jakes,
A restaurant owned by Friehling near the Catskills in White Lake.
Friehling fell “immediately in love with her, without a doubt,”
And when he served their table he would always go all out.
Although Hali found him too young (at that point he was 22)
They ran into one another on a Tulum beach; sparks flew.Later, on a sunset horseback ride on “Ms. Feldman’s family ranch,”
She was thrown off saddle, causing frantic Ben Friehling to blanch.
Paralysis was feared but thankfully did not occur
Hali was confined to bedrest for a month; Ben stood by her.If you’re someone who gets riled by gentrification creep
You might dislike this happy pair who have “classed up” the Bowery.
Jeffrey Goldstein’s store, called Blue and Cream, is a Hamptons import
That went up right near the time that CBGB’s closed its doors.
The couple grew up near each other (Upper West Side, obvi)
And first met, the story goes, on New Years Eve down in Miami.
And now they work together selling overpriced apparel,
Their wedding, unsurprisingly, was at the Standard Hotel.(You have to put the em-pha-sis on the first syl-lab-ble for that last one to work, but just go with it, k?)
The law school at GWU was the first date spot for this pair,
They’re like a median composite sketch of every student there.
The bride in this other couple analyzes all the ads
That run on CNN.com; does that mean this FAIL was her bad?
To the Faceoff we now go, although this week’s so mediocre
That they’re kind of the head fleas on a dead dog among these jokers.
But still, props to our two couples who by virtue of their status
Have come out on top per Altarcation’s scoring apparatus.Cindy Hwang and Jay Chiang had quite impressive undergrads,
He went to MIT; she was cum laude at Yale. Not bad!
That’s five points right there, and two more points for their advanced degrees:
She’s a lawyer out of NYU, and he’s a PhD.
Jay’s a worker at McKinsey and his dad’s a physicist;
Cindy works in law: I wonder, are her doctor parents pissed?
That’s another five for these two, bringing them to twelve in sum,
I look forward to the power couple they will soon become.Sarah Burley and Doug Reid get minus one for being old,
But she gets plus seven from her Harvard/Dartmouth path, all told.
And her mother is a) named “True” and b) the piano lady
At the Brookline schools, which are the very opposite of shady.
Plus two for that, and plus one for Reid’s MBA degree,
Since it wasn’t from an Ivy school he does not get plus three.
But they were married up at Harvard by an Episcopal priest,
So that nets them two more points, they’d get eleven at the least.I like the looks of these two though, especially her pearls
And the pink cableknit sweater is a must-have for good girls.
(Note to Julia: this is how pink and preppy is best done!)
So we’ll finish them with thirteen points, which makes them number one.Foster’s moving to the Village Voice, just a few clicks away
So I want to take a moment of your time so I can say
That we’ll miss him very dearly (unless Nick Denton is our name)
and it’s safe to say he’s going out atop his fearsome game.[I will never—ever—watch 'Say Yes to the Dress.' Ever. But Altarcations will continue to run after I'm gone, every Sunday, right here. Nefler: You're awesome. Mazel tov on a fantastic run, and here's to so many more. You want a piece of this, Slate? Call me. - F.]

Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski Celebrate Mesnick Wedding
Celebrating the union of their good friends, Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski were among the guests on hand for Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney’s wedding on Saturday (February 27).
Dressed up in a colorful green frock, Miss Harris was in high spirits as she and her man partook in the rainy Terranea Resort ceremony.
At the ceremony, the former “Bachelor” beauty told press, “We’re really excited for them. They are very ‘normal’ in one sense, but on the other hand both of us have been through things in terms of the tabloids and drama after our shows were over. We’re so sympathetic to each other’s relationships that we’re huge supporters of each other.”
With camera crews catching all of the action, Jason and Molly’s wedding will be televised on an ABC special titled “The Bachelor: Jason and Molly’s Wedding” on March 8th.

Twilight Graphic Novel / Comic Boook Details
Twilight Graphic Novel / Comic Boook Details What will the Twilight world come up with next? If you’re itching for more from the series, you better keep watching! Hey everyone! You’re at Clevver TV and I’m Dana Ward with an announcement of a new Twilight book. Just please don’t get overly excited because this isn’t exactly what it seems. In a totally different format, a new version of Twilight will be coming out. A graphic novel – also known as a comic book – is on its way. A Korean artist is drawing the sketches with Stephanie Meyer herself reportedly reviewing each and every panel before its officially released. It will be brought to us by Little Brown the same publishing house responsible for the book series. I bet you’re wondering what all of the Twilight characters will look like as comics. Hello? I mean, will they be as described in the book or look similar to the actors in the movies? This answer is a bit complicated: BOTH! Apparently, the comic book characters will be a mixture of the book’s original descriptions and those played by Kristen Stewart, Edward Pattinson and the rest of the crew. We want to know if you guys are going to run out and buy this comic asap OR if you’re boycotting the Twilight reincarnation. Let us know by leaving your opinion. For all of the latest Twilight news and gossip, you can always get it right here at Clevver TV. I’m Dana Ward reminding you to subscribe here and to rate us 5-stars. Thanks for watching!

Cheating Housewife!
We wouldn’t have expected this from Vicki — well maybe!
The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Vicky Gunvalson was spotted locking lips with a 25-year-old college student in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last month and we think her husband of 15 years Donn isn’t going to be too pleased!University of Manitoba student Mike Pullin says:
“Vicki was extremely outgoing and having a great time, like a sorority girl. We clicked immediately and danced to rock ‘n’ roll by Bon Jovi and Journey. She was living it up. She kept talking to me. She was a big flirt.”
Mike bought a round of tequila shots for Vicki and her friends and she paid him back with a make-out sesh!
And she was just picking on Gretchen — glass houses, Vicki!

David Beckham’s Hot Underwear Ads
David Beckham’s Hot Underwear Ads We’ve got the mouth-watering new body-rocking photos of David Beckham – don’t go anywhere! Hey guys – or should I say girls?!? I’m Dana Ward with Clevver TV and we’re dishing the deets – or just salvating – over the latest photos featuring David Beckham. Now it’s definitely not news that David is HOT, but his newest billboard to hit the public just reinforces that statement. First, let’s get straight to the photos, of course. David is lookin uber-sexy in his latest ad campaign for Emporio Armani’s fall-winter underwear campaign. Side-parted hair slicked back, tanned and toned skin, muscles galore. Who could ask for more? The soccer stud and wifey Victoria were sure to show up on-time at a popular central London department store for the official billboard unveiling. Not only were the pics of a de-robed David hangin on a rope super hot, but Beckham’s business-suit style was looking pretty darn fine at the promotional debut itself. That highlight was definitely David’s superstar smile. Thanks for watching the show. Checkout Clevver.com for more entertainment news and gossip. I’m Dana Ward and we’ll see ya next time!
