40,000 troops are told they'll be deployed in the fall, to Iraq and Afghanistan, a sign that the military is expecting hard fighting to continue through late next year.  Nice try, administration...but hopefully (fingers crossed!) there will be a President who will fix this mess by then.

Nas changes album title.  Def Jam records confirmed to EW.com that hip-hop artist Nas finally broke down and changed the title of his upcoming album.  He and wife Kellis caused quite a stir when they showed up to the 2008 Grammy's with N----r on their clothing, to promote the album; but it will now be simply Nas.

Quickie Weddings:  Jessica Alba was expecting with longtime boyfriend Cash Warren, but they are now husband & wife and parents-to-be -- they tied the knot yesterday, her publicist said.  Meanwhile, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are celebrating their honeymoon in the basement with blown-up palm trees.  That's cute and inventive, we actually like it.
