Originally posted 05/16/2008 08:00AM
The honeymoon may be over for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon – but the two are obviously still basking in newlywedded bliss.
Cannon was hard at work Thursday night, playing DJ at an Operation Smile fund-raising event in New York City. And his new bride – wearing five-inch heels and a fitted Ralph Lauren dress – was there to show her support.
So, two weeks after their surprise island nuptials, how is married life going? "Fantastic," Carey told PEOPLE. Later, she added, "It's a stone smash!"

Rob Lowe Seeks Dismissal of Some of Nanny's Claims
Originally posted 05/15/2008 05:35PM
Rob Lowe is asking a Santa Barbara, Calif., court to dismiss portions of a countersuit against him by first nanny Jessica Gibson, according to documents released Thursday.
"Each of Gibson's [accusations] is completely unfounded ... but nine of those ... are subject to immediate dismissal because she has failed ... to even allege the essential elements of a claim of relief," writes Lowe's attorney, Larry Stein.
Stein targets a number of alleged labor/wage violations for which Gibson countersued Lowe on April 14. Among them: unpaid overtime, meals and rest periods. Stein argues that Gibson admitted to receiving a check from the Lowes for those unpaid wages around April 7.

Pop singer Taylor Dayne is set to face a DUI charge in a Beverly Hills, Calif., court on June 2.
Dayne was arrested on March 6, police records show. The 46-year-old singer, who shot to fame with her 1988 hit "Tell It to My Heart," was taken into custody at 1 a.m. after failing field sobriety tests.
Seven hours later, Dayne (real name Leslie Wunderman) was released after posting $5,000 bail.
"We intend to vigorously defend this case," said Dayne's attorney, Scott Spindel. "Her blood alcohol was below the legal limit."
Dayne was formally charged on April 16, to which she pleaded not guilty. – Ken Lee

The hills are alive, with the sound of hotel guests.
The onetime Salzburg, Austria, home of the Family Von Trapp – made famous by the popular 1965 movie musical The Sound of Music, starring Julie Andrews – is about to get a new lease on life: as a hotel.
Not only will overnight visitors be allowed to sleep in the same bedrooms as the seven children, let alone Maria (Andrews) and the Captain (Christopher Plummer), but prospective brides and grooms will be able to marry in the Von Trapp's private chapel, reports the BBC.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler make people laugh on a daily basis. Their recent
buddy comedy Baby Mama debuted at No. 1. But the ladies tell Oprah Winfrey in an interview airing Thursday that they still aren't sure if they're funny. "I think you never really know," Fey said after Winfrey asked when she knew she was funny. Quipped Poehler: "I would do serious plays and people would laugh."
