The Royal Wedding

The guest list for the April 29 union of Prince William and Kate Middleton is still being kept secret, but details have begun to leak out, with some coming forward to say they are attending and the Mail on Sunday newspaper claiming to have the official invitation roster.

The couple have also invited many guests from the charities they work with, and Middleton has used her influence to invite the butcher, shopkeeper and pub owner from her home village of Bucklebury.
Some guests, like leading religious figures, have to be invited because of the magnitude of the event, even if they don't actually have a friendship with the royal family. Seelawimala, for example, has never met the couple, though he certainly hopes to when the big day comes. The head priest at the London Buddhist Vihara monastery has been invited primarily to show the royal family and the British government's respect for Buddhist tradition. Soccer star David Beckham will be there with his pop star wife Victoria. Elton John is attending with partner David Furnish. And the Venerable Bogoda Seelawimala will be there too, probably one of the few guests at the wedding of the year wearing orange and burgundy Buddhist robes.

Comedy Icon Eddie Murphy in "The Comedy Awards"

In his acceptance speech, Murphy gave a shout-out to the greatest comedians of all time, citing Richard Pryor, Charlie Chaplin, Bill Cosby and George Carlin. It's illustrious company indeed, and we believe all four men would have received this award had it been available at the height of their success.
Murphy was clearly moved by the award, accepting it despite dubbing it "an old man award." After 35 years in comedy, Murphy may be ready to accept himself as an old man, but we're not so sure. He looks the same as he did when we first met him on 'Saturday Night Live' in 1980.


But he was honored to be presenting the first Comedy Icon Award to the comedian who inspired him to begin his own career in that field: Eddie Murphy.
