MONDAY, DEC. 19: Once again, it's trophy time for the year's top pop stars, as the Radio Music Awards air live from Las Vegas (NBC, 9 p.m. ET). Up for song of the year in the mainstream hit radio category are such performers as Kelly Clarkson (for "Behind Those Hazel Eyes" and "Since U Been Gone,") Green Day (for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams") and Mariah Carey (for "We Belong Together"). Scheduled performers include Snoop Dogg, Rascal Flatts, Ricky Martin, Keith Urban, Sugarland and Carmen Electra's burlesque group, the Pussycat Dolls. Ashlee Simpson, who was scheduled to perform, has cancelled her appearance after collapsing from exhaustion in Japan on Thursday.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21: Sir Elton John weds longtime partner David Furnish at Windsor's Guildhall, the same venue where Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles in April. The same registrar will officiate for John, 58, and Furnish, 43, who are taking advantage of new laws recognizing gay partnerships in Britain. Though the reception won't be a public affair (they turned down a $10 million offer for video footage), John and Furnish, who met in 1993, won't swear their 650 guests to secrecy. "All anyone has been asked to do is come along and have a great time," their rep, Gary Farrow, tells PEOPLE. When asked if Furnish will have a new title after the ceremony, given that John is a "sir," Farrow says, "He will remain a mister."
