OK, this might be the most gorgeous wedding dress of all time. Even if you don't care about wedding dresses, you should be able to admit that this takes the cake. The wedding cake, if you will. It was reported that Nicole Richie picked from three possible wedding dresses, and we're confident that her choice is JUST the kind of gown that gal deserves after putting in several years and two kids with Good Charlotte boyfriend Joel Madden. We're pretty sure that wedding dress--which was revealed in a photo of Nicole and Joel in People--sang to her, in the sage words of her dad, Lionel, "Hello? Is it me you're looking for?" And it WAS, friends. And the accompanying beauty concept! Not to be out-glammed by Joel's signature guyliner, Nicole rocked a smoky eye herself complemented by a chic topknot and bronzed, glowing skin.

Let's discuss Nicole Richie's magical Marchesa moment, shall we? The ball-gown swan situation of a skirt was crafted from 100 yards of hand-draped silk organza and tulle petals. The lace-fitted bodice and demure long sleeves evoke shades of Grace Kelly on her wedding day in 1956 with a respectable nod toward Lady Di's epic vow frock. We love the elegant gossamer vibe of it all, and we imagine the wedding itself must have been chic to the nth-est degree.

What do you think of Nicole Richie's wedding dress? Do you love it? Or does it simply make you crave some baked Alaska? Weigh in with your comments!

Decked out in all white and further perfecting its sleek electro-rock sound, Good Charlotte has unveiled the video for "Like It's Her Birthday," from the group's upcoming "Cardiology" album. Bottom line, in the "Like It's Her Birthday" video, Benji Madden gets done dirty by his girlfriend, and in a rather duplicitous fashion to boot.

Seems Benji gets a bad feeling when he sees his significant other dressed up for a night on the tiles, even though she claims she only has a "meeting." His unease is proved to be valid when he happens upon his girlfriend at a club where the only meeting she's attending is the one between her mouth and some shots. Busted! Apparently the girl is partying, like it's her birthday, no less, much to the chagrin of the band.

One interesting note about the clip: The video features the Good Charlotte boys performing inside of a glass cube-like structure in a blacked-out room. It's not unlike the crazy, moving stage/cube found in Battles' awesome "Atlas" video.

Check out Good Charlotte's music video for "Like It's Her Birthday" below.

To celebrate the upcoming release of the group's new DVD -- aptly titled Straight To DVD -- All Time Low threw a soiree at the Music Box in Hollywood last night. Lots of the guys' pop-punk pals -- like Mark Hoppus, Pete Wentz and the Madden brothers -- also came to show their support and then were treated to a screening of the DVD.

As far as band DVDs go, this one's definitely entertaining -- albeit a tad long. It features awesome live performances of fan favorites like "Jasey Rae" and "Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't)," in addition to lots of behind-the-scenes debauchery and a pretty extensive documentary that follows All Time Low's rise to Warped Tour stardom.

Most of All Time Low's parents were also in the hizzouse, which was so sweet. If you glanced over at them during the screening, you could tell that they were filled to the brim with pride -- even when one of their sons was trying to light their fart on fire or threatening to f**k a burrito. It's nice to see a parent's love is truly unconditional.

All Time Low's Straight To DVD will be released on May 25.

Blink-182 is an obvious influence of All Time Low, so it was rad to see Mark Hoppus come out for the event.

Benji Madden, Joel Madden and Pete Wentz cram together for an impromptu photo op. Little-known fact: Wentz's jacket also doubles as a flotation device, in case of an emergency.

It's not a party until Dr.-Dr.-Drama Beats shows up. Yup, that's MTV's own Christopher "Drama" Pfaff from "Rob Dydrek's Fantasy Factory."

When you live in Hollywood, it's never too soon to starting thinking about amassing power—even when you're a toddler. The photo of the all-too-adorable Kingston Rossdale and Ruby Sweetheart Maguire on PinkIsTheNewBlog.com suggests there's plenty of poetential in pre-tween Hollywood for parents to consider how to turn play dates into future empires.

And so, with such a large amount of our fave actors and musicians deciding to procreate, we thought it would be a great idea to start fixing up some of their offspring before the lil' tykes have to grow up and face all the painful, broken-hearted woes of puberty. We're thinking of calling our burgeoning matchmaker company "Young Love." (Pretty brilliant, right?)

In order to stir up business, we thought we'd offer up the first 5 matches free-of-charge. (You're welcome, Joel Madden.)

1. Harlow Madden (daughter of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden) + Bronx Mogli Wentz (son of Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz)

2. Violet Affleck (daughter of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck) + Max Bratman (son of Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman)

3. Ruby Sweetheart Maguire (daughter of Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer) + Kingston Rossdale (son of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale)

+ In her upcoming memoir Miles to Go (and is there a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g this girl can't do?), Miley Cyrus clears up any "weirdness" rumors regarding her relationship with her dad Billy Ray: "For me, my dad is not weird at all." (D Listed)

+ If, like us, you've never *quite* been able to get over the awesomeness that was Michael Jackson's Off the Wall album, you will probably be pretty psyched to hear that the gloved/masked one might be doing a bunch of concerts this summer in London. If you're like everyone else on the planet and don't give a crap, you probably just wanna get back to your Miley Cyrus memoir... right... now. (Fafarazzi)

+ Is Chris Brown trying to win Rihanna back? With jewelry? (Seriously, dude?) (Hip-hop Chronicle)

Remember that one episode of The Hills where everyone met up a swish hotel bar and did shots? Wait... let me elaborate -- recall, please, The Hills, Season 3, Episode 6 (air date 9/15/2008, for those of you keeping track), when Audrina organized a super-massive party featuring a performance by The White Tie Affair. (And Justin Bobby NEVER SHOWED, natch.) Nowww it's all coming back, right?

Anyway, The White Tie Affair falls under the tutelage of Audrina at Epic Records, and Audrina herself was on hand on the tres L.A. set of their new-new video, "Candle (Sick and Tired)." Also there: superfan Stephanie Pratt, and Good Charlotte's Joel and Benji Madden, who make quick cameos in the new video. Watch it below, and check out an old-school Buzzworthy interview with The White Tie Affair.

While Total Finale Live was getting live for last time (and tipsy too!) just a few feet away, I got a chance to talk to Joel and Benji Madden about growing up Good Charlotte throughout the years on TRL.

See what the Madden brothers had to say about coming back to the show for the last time and the way the show acted as a social network in the days before Facebook and MySpace even existed (can you IMAGINE?).

We’re just bittersweet DAYS from the real-deal last-ever episode of TRL -- this Sunday, November 16 at 8pm ET. So, here’s everything you need to know about who’s performing and appearing on the star-studded two-hour boo-hoo fest that’ll close the door on TRL forever-ever.

OLD-SCHOOL PLAYERS:
Old enough to remember Carson Daly? (Come on. You’re not THAT young!) Good. because the pioneering TRL host will be back in the house to co-host the night's farewell festivities, along with Damien Fahey. And a parade of co-hosts and VJs, including Lyndsey Rodrigues, Vanessa Minnillo, Dave Holmes, Jesse Camp, Hilarie Burton (Peyton!!), Susie Castillo, La La Vasquez and Quddus (soooo hot! – ed.) will be stopping by to reflect, reminisce, and see how their old dressing rooms held up.

PERFORMERS:
Beyonce/ Sasha FIERCE will be performing live, which is simply unMISSABLE, speaking of which, so is the Backstreet Boys' performance (minus Kevin –- frowny face! It's been too long guys, and you've so shown me the meaning of being lonely!) Anyway, ALSO Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and Nelly will be teaming up for a one-night-only three-way performance, not to be outdone by the monied, the powerful 50 Cent’s live performance or Fall Out Boy’s in-studio performance.

ALSO APPEARING:
Diddy -- the unofficial godfather of TRL -- will make his 37th (and final!!) TRL appearance. A glittering Mariah Carey will be there too, as well Justin Timberlake AND JC Chasez, which is like two-fifths of *NSYNC! Country-pop princess Taylor Swift, the always-glam Hilary Duff, Good Charlotte's Benji and Joel Madden (cordially, I’m sure), Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, and Korn's Jonathan Davis will all be in the soon-to-be-shuttered TRL studio to give the show the send off it deserves, while Christina Aguilera and Travis Barker will join the party via the magic of satellite, however that works.

+ Too depressed to remember that Total Finale Live is this Sunday, November 16 at 8pm ET? Embed this noise, AND come back heyah to the MTV Buzzworthy blog this Sunday for celebrity interviews, photos, and more behind-the-scenes access to the big TRL farewell.
