34308: Samuel L. Jackson at The National Civil Rights Museum
Throughout his cinematic career, Samuel L. Jackson has stirred the souls of movie audiences with his performances. It was his real life role as an usher at the funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., however, that made a profound impact on the spirit of the Academy Award-nominated actor, and as the nation reflects on the 40th anniversary of the civil rights leader's passing the star joined an ensemble cast of 100 volunteers as they prepared The National Civil Rights Museum for those who will gather to remember the fateful date.
Capturing a moment of the over 1,000 man hours put in by the crew, photographers snapped images of the screen icon as he applied a fresh coat of paint to the railings outside of room 306 at The Lorraine Motel, the site of the activist's final moments.
The Memphis museum, which chronicles both the struggle and the strides made in the civil rights movement, is open to the public every day except Tuesday. A number of special events are scheduled for the days surrounding the solemn occasion, including a candle light vigil on April 4, 2008, in which the flames inside 40 lanterns, one for each year of Dr. King's life, will burn for 40 days.

For the members of Good Charlotte, 2008 has been a year of new beginnings. While tabloids have chronicled the arrival of lead singer Joel Madden and Nicole Richie's bundle of joy and the budding romance between Benji Madden and stunning socialite Paris Hilton in recent months, on March 1, 2008 the multi-tattooed Madden twins escaped the ever-present lens of the paparazzi long enough to celebrate another of the band's milestones-- the wedding of guitarist and keyboardist Billy Martin to his long time love, Linzi Williamson. Decked out in black for the occasion, the members of Good Charlotte watched the bride walk down the aisle in a strapless gown and exchange vows with the man she has loved for the past eight years. Following the Malibu, California nuptials, the happy couple announced to

In the words of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, however, "stony limits cannot hold love out," and even though prison walls may separate the former member of Terror Squad (born Reminisce Smith) from the man she loves in the years to come (the Grammy Award-nominated star faces up to a quarter of a century behind bars at her April 23, 2008 sentencing) the couple are determined to be united in matrimony. On March 28, 2008, prospective groom Papoose (born Shamele Mackie) told
MTV News that their plans of an April wedding are still underway, although the pair will now pledge their devotion to each other in prison.

As Tony Award-winning actress Marissa Jaret Winokur attempts to waltz her way to victory with her dancing partner Tony Dovolani in season six of
Dancing with the Stars, Lovetripper takes a look back to the day in 2006 when the showstopping Broadway beauty was hitched Hawaiian-style to her love, Judah Miller:
Deciding that there's no place like home to begin their life together as husband and wife, Broadway star Marissa Jaret Winokur walked to the back lawn of the Toluka Lake, California residence she shares with Judah Miller, who had proposed on July 4, 2005 and waited for her on October 7, 2006 at the end of the aisle. Dressed in a body-conscious, halter style gown which evoked images of old Hollywood glamour, the bride walked past nearly 200 friends and family members who stood in her honor, including former
Xena: Warrior Princess star Lucy Lawless, Ricki Lake and Tinseltown twosome Harry Hamlin and Lisa Renna, who surely thought back to their own 1997 wedding as they watched the bride take the groom's hand at the start of the ceremony.
Their shadows stretching on the grass as the sun began to melt into the horizon, the groom placed a wedding band to accompany the bride's 5.5-carat sapphire engagement ring on her finger during a ceremony which honored their Jewish heritage. In a preview to the Hawaiian-style reception they would later enjoy, the groom took off the lei he wore and draped it over the head of his new wife, while she in turn presented hers to her new husband,
InStyle Weddings revealed.
Although darkness had dominated the sky by the conclusion of the nuptials, the yard of the newly-pronounced Mr. and Mrs. was illuminated by the flicking lights of fire dancers as the swiveling hips of hula dancers entranced the crowd during a post-wedding party. Guests sampled sushi and mahimahi during dinner, while cupcakes capped off their feast.
