Popping The Culture

Lots of interesting tidbits this week. Consider:

Did Taylor Swift crash/get thrown out of a Kennedy wedding this week-end? One of the Kennedy cousins got married in Boston and according to the Boston Herald, mother-of-the-bride Victoria Gifford Kennedy asked Taylor to leave because she didn't want the country superstar to overshadow the bride. There's conflicting info about whether or not Swift, who's currently dating one of the other Kennedy cousins, was actually invited. What intrigues me is the fact that Taylor Swift is 22 and her new boyfriend, Conor Kennedy, son of Bobby Kennedy, Jr., and grandson of RFK and Ethel, is only 18 and just starting his senior year of high school. Question: Does a 22-year-old woman qualify as a cougar?

The TomKat divorce is final, just a few weeks after Katie Holmes filed in June, which in Hollywood counts as warp speed. (See Kardashian, Kim.) Question: Who will be the next Mrs. Cruise?  

Jennifer Aniston has a pre-nuptial agreement with fiance Justin Theroux, or not.
OK! magazine: Jen Shocker: No PreNup!
In Touch magazine: Jen's $150 Million PreNup.
Question: There isn't one. This is one of those things I don't care about.

Will and Kate are on the cover of People magazine again. It's that nice picture of them embracing at one of the Olympic events, and I'd be willing to bet that this is one of those instances where the magazine had a great picture for the cover and not much of a story to go with it. If only they'd known that a much juicer royal story was only a few hours away! Question: Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall the next time Prince Harry sees his grandmother?
