The secret to having a perfect gay wedding? Celebrities!

Hollywood celebrities provide us with endless hours of entertainment, whether it's watching them on screen, trying to photograph them naked, or feeling better about ourselves when they're caught shoplifting or wandering dazed through the desert.

But who knew that celebrities were also useful? Anne Hathaway (who has "future gay icon" written all over her) recently spoke about her gay brother Mike's wedding, and the lengths she went to make sure it turned out well:

"When Mike and Josh booked the place, it was before daylight savings time, and the sun was pretty high up in the sky," she continues. "Now it was at eye level, and it was blinding! Burn-your-retina bright!"
"We sent my cousin's boyfriend down to Canal Street [in New York City] with $250 to buy as many sunglasses as he could, and we put them on every other seat. Everybody just put on their sunglasses, and we have some great pictures of that!" she says. "It's all about crisis management, isn't it?"

Anne's ingenuity got us thinking about what celebrities we want at our gay weddings, and how we'd put their individual talents to best use. See a few examples after the break!

Tara Reid

So you're about to head to your gay wedding reception, and are dreading what will happen when your hippie parents and new fundamentalist Christian in-laws mingle for the first time. It sounds like you need a distraction ... enter Tara Reid!

The infamous Hollywood hot mess will draw all the awkwardness in the room towards her like a black"out" hole, and may even flop a boob out! Just don't ask her to pronounce "Newfoundland" (my undying love to whoever gets that reference).


Every wedding needs a crazy old coot, and Pat Boone fills that role perfectly. Pat will provide hours of wholesome white-bread entertainment with such games as "old man yells at cloud", and will also provide security if any "sexual jihadists" try to interfere.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd

One of the most entertaining events at straight weddings is when the groom's psycho ex-girlfriends crash the reception. Unfortunately, (most) man-on-man weddings don't have that tradition, but now Hollywood has come through once again with the new service "Hire a Crazy Screaming Lady".

Yes, now you can have your very own unstable TV personality go to your wedding and spread misinformation and lies. *For an added fee, Ann Coulter will show up in a black cocktail dress and call everyone "fag".

Cheyenne Jackson

And finally, we'd find some way to get the multi-talented Cheyenne Jackson to perform on our wedding night day. Whether he's singing a naked version of "Because You Loved Me" or showing of his naked dancing skills with "YMCA" he'd definitely be the highlight of the entire day ... besides the whole "wedding" thing, of course.

So what celebs would you want to help out with your special day, and why?

    Oprah!

    In the hopes that she'd bring her "favorite things" as wedding gifts!

    Yes, but...

    Did you see her "favorite things" this year? It was all cheap crappy stuff you can make yourself! If I had been in that audience, I would have been thinking "what a rip-off!"

    Can you handle THE 80'S ACCORDING TO SNICKS?

    Good pont...

    so I wait for the recession to end to get married, or come up with Plan B...

    Plus, Oprah didn't really fit the rules as she wasn't really doing anything to help with the wedding, other than giving gifts.  I want Kathy Griffin there to perform the ceremony, and Cyndi Lauper to sing True Colors at the end...

    Bring on the dancing boys....

    If you're going to dream big, go for it all the way......... how about the list of the top 100 for 2008 all in dance gear acting as ushers?  Then.... for the brides maids, start down the list of all of your very favorite "L" or FH performers, Ellen, Kathy, Cyndi, Oprah, Rosie, etc....  Then have them perform what ever "gift" they have to perform at the reception that will last for tgwo or three days on end as the beggest party in town...  just a thought.

    Jake

    Yes, I think Jake should be involved in a wedding ceremony in some capacity (maybe as the bouncer, judging from recent photos)... Though I must confess, I thought he was much cuter when he was scrawnier...

    As though there were any question...

    Martha Stewart .... for the decor and catering.

    Tim Gunn ... for the outfits.

    and Yoko Ono ... to see the apartment!
