* Even days after the canapés have been ingested, people are still talking about the royal wedding and one hat in particular. Hat designer Philip Treacy stated that the inspiration behind Princess Beatrice's fascinator was "beauty and elegance" and totally appropriate for a "21st century royal wedding." The hat even has its own Facebook page with more than 132,000 fans. "Butt" Pippa's FB page is still in the lead with almost 200,000 fans. [The Hollywood Reporter]
* The devil may wear Prada, but in Vatican City, bishops wear Giorgio Armani. When Father Mogavero was asked about his $3,200 luxe robes, he said they were a gift from Armani for saying mass at a church where the designer has a holiday home. Looks like men of the cloth have their vices, too. [The Globe and Mail]
* Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon will be monogramming Monroe and Moroccan Scott on their new Bugaboo strollers. Carey's longtime muse Marilyn Monroe (shocker!) served as inspiration for her daughter's name while her son was named after a floor in her New York apartment called the Moroccan Room. We're wondering if Glitter and Butterfly were in the running? [CTV]
* Model Lily Aldridge is keeping her fiancé, Kings of Leon vocalist Caleb Followill, in the dark when it comes to their fast-approaching wedding date: "She won't tell me. I think it's somewhere between May 10 and May 20, but she won't tell me because I have a big mouth." That's certainly one way to keep the mystery alive. [People]
* Ever wondered what would happen if your favourite American Idol judges were asked to judge random objects? In pitch-perfect tone, the B-Side Blog has J-Lo, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler judging a polar bear, cherry blossoms and salted salmon fillets. As Steven Tyler would say, "That's just beautiful man." [B-Side Blog]
