Who Is On The Royal Wedding Guest List

Do Americans REALLY care about the wedding of PRINCE WILLIAM and KATE MIDDLETON? I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'm buying in to the whole Royal Wedding hype!

--I mean, I can kind of understand the fascination with CHARLES and DIANA'S wedding back in 1981, because we had, like, six TV channels and no Internet.

--But in 2011 people have so many other entertainment options, I have a hard time believing there's that much interest.  At least not as much as the media would have you believe.

--Heck, I'm willing to bet even the "Who Shot J.R.?" episode of "Dallas" would only attract 26 million viewers TOPS if that phenomena had occurred today.

(--An estimated 83 MILLION tuned in to learn the identity of the shooter back in 1980.  SPOILER ALERT if you're just now making your way through the DVDs:  It was Kristen.) (???)

--Anyway, the official Royal Wedding invite list was released the other day, and the celebrities on it include ELTON JOHN . . . DAVID and VICTORIA BECKHAM . . .

--GUY RITCHIE . . . (--And you just KNOW Madonna's pissed she missed out) . . . singer JOSS STONE . . .

--And ROWAN ATKINSON, a.k.a. MR. BEAN.  That's right, Mr. Bean was invited to the Royal Wedding and you weren't.  Drink that down.
