First Up: Madonna and Guy Ritchie held a ceremony over the weekend, during which the couple renewed their wedding vows.  Or, as she called it, the reinvention of her marriage.

Though the slogan is a little obscure, a spokesperson for the group did say it had "absolutely nothing to do with Nicole Ritchie's dieting goals."
Item 3:  Barack Obama introduced Senator Joe Biden as his running mate via text message to his supporters.  Not to be outdone, John McCain will announce his VP pick later this week via telegraph and carrier pigeon.
Item 4:  Dateline--Riverside, California
