...City may be the capital of drive-through weddings, but traffic on the Strip can be a drag. So in a nod to impatient (and fit) couples, the New Las Vegas Marathon, on Dec.4, will include a Run-Thru Chapel near the five-mile mark, where at least 22 couples plan to get married en masse. Running with them will be the minister, lots of Elvis impersonators--like these recent marathoners in Phoenix, Ariz., right--and an estimated 13,000 others tackling a 26.2-mile course that includes the entire Strip, closed off to cars.

As it happens, there weren't enough of those doughnut girls to elect Kerry. But Moore, 50, has other projects in the works. His next film is a documentary about...
...defeat of the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage [July 26]: For anyone to claim that the weddings of same-sex couples somehow tarnish the sanctity of marriage is absolutely ridiculous. How sacred is marriage when two people can be wed by an Elvis impersonator in a Las Vegas drive-through chapel? If gay marriage is such a threat and heterosexual marriage is so sacred, why isn't the religious right working to create a constitutional amendment to ban divorce, thus preserving the sanctity of marriage forever?
