Call it the summer of the celebrity wedding.

Consider all the weddings in recent weeks: Alicia Keys tied the knot with her producer-beau Swizz Beatz, wearing a pretty Grecian gown that covered her baby bump. After a five-year engagement, basketball player Carmelo Anthony and television personality La La Vazquez finally sealed the deal during a star-studded New York City ceremony. Rapper T.I. and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, who have two children, celebrated their much-anticipated wedding with three receptions. And then there's Martin Lawrence, who wed girlfriend Shamicka Gibbs last month; DJ Jazzy Jeff and his new bride Lynette Jackson; and Boston Celtic Paul Pierce, who recently married sweetheart Julie Landrum.

These celebrity weddings could have a positive effect on African Americans, who are less likely than any other group in the United States to get married. Dr. Shane Perrault, marriage counselor and African American relationships expert, told Black Voices that high-profile black marriages like Barack and Michelle Obama's are good for the community.

Heidi Klum and Seal are stepping out of their comfort zones -- the fashion and music worlds -- for a new reality show. The married duo will travel the country counseling couples in need of some relationship advice, reports UPI. The series is currently in development at Lifetime, which is the home of Klum's hit fashion design competition show, 'Project Runway.'

Forget that the recent wedding reception of Tampa, Fla., couple Tasha Johnson and Markeith Brown was held at a restaurant called the Rusty Pelican -- it was apparently a classy, fairy tale-themed event, complete with a horse and carriage, romantic vows exchanged at an oceanside gazebo and a ballroom reception.

The affair remained classy until around 9 p.m., when Tampa police say Brown began throwing money on the dance floor for children to pick up, which angered one of his guests. When the groom and his brother asked the guest to leave, a fight broke out that escalated and spilled into the parking lot. Cops came -- but it doesn't end there. After guests left, the fight started up again in a hotel parking lot, where the groom's 74-year-old grandmother was put in a choke hold after trying to break up the brawl.

At least one person has been arrested and one was treated in the emergency room as a result of this wedding brawl, but you might be happy to learn that Tasha and Markeith, "the money thrower," are enjoying their honeymoon in the Bahamas right now. They might not be any worse for the wear after their wedding gone wrong, but if you want to avoid making some major mistakes -- as either a bride, a groom or a wedding guest -- pay attention to the following five things you should never do at a wedding.

President Barack Obama has been taking some hard hits lately from opponents of his health care reform plan, so he probably really appreciated the warm welcome he got from his daughters and dog, Bo, when he returned from a trip to Ohio and Pennsylvania last week.

Malia, 11, and Sasha, 8, played with Bo while they waited for their dad's helicopter to land on the South Lawn. When he finally arrived, all three ran across the lawn to greet Obama. Cuteness ensued.

She's not the one with the infamous sex tape and the much-admired derriere. She's not the one who recently announced her pregnancy. Khloe Kardashian, the youngest of the famous-for-being-famous Kardashian sisters, is the one who just married L.A. Laker Lamar Odom. The two have only been together since August, but, apparently, they are serious enough about each other (or their own publicity) to tie the knot. Kardashian's stepdad is Olympian Bruce Jenner, and her sister, Kim, recently reunited with football player Reggie Bush. Clearly, the Kardashians like them some athletes. But they're not the only ones...
