A girl's gotta have her priorities, right?

In her first interview since tying the knot with Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey appears on Tuesday's Ellen DeGeneres Show to chat up her recent nuptials—and to reveal that when it comes to the biggest day of your life, it's definitely more important to be the lovely one as opposed to being surrounded by a bunch of silly loved ones.

"Mainly it was people there to do my hair and help me with the dress," Mimi tells Ellen about who attended the quickie marriage last month. "And then three of my friends, and he had three people with him, so it wasn't a lot of people."

Meanwhile, Ellen called in this morning to Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM morning show to dish on the diva's exclusive, albeit tardy, appearance...

Remy Ma will be spending more than just her honeymoon in the clink.

The PunishHER rapper was sentenced to eight years in prison today for shooting a female acquaintance outside an NYC nightclub, a Manhattan District Attorney's Office spokeswoman confirmed to E! News.

The 26-year-old Ma, real name Remy Smith, burst into tears after learning her fate.

In March, a jury convicted her of four counts of assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion for shooting Makeda Barnes-Joseph in the gut last July in a dispute over $3,000. The MC was lucky however. She could have gotten up to 25 years behind bars.

After State Supreme Court judge Rena Uviller handed down her punishment, Ma's fiancée, fellow hip-hopster Papoose, sparked a melee outside the courtroom when he shouted down the victim, who offered up an impact statement during the proceeding.

Drew Barrymore: Hollywood star and budding crimefighter.

The actress was cruising the mean streets of West Hollywood Monday morning when her car was tagged by another vehicle.

The rear-ended Barrymore was not injured, says West Hollywood Sheriff's Lt. Lajana Haselrig, but the actress seemingly took offense when the other motorist sped from the scene without exchanging insurance information...or even asking for an autograph.

Our hero apparently took off after the hit-and-runner, tailing the baddie long enough to jot down his license plate number.

The offending motorist remains at large, says Haselrig, who wouldn't confirm that Barrymore gave chase.

But the officer acknowledges that someone (wink-wink) did provide the digits: "We have a plate and it is currently under investigation."

All in a day's work for one of Charlie's Angels.

That heavily hyped Stone Temple Pilots reunion is still a go.

Scott Weiland, the alt-rock band's sobriety-challenged vocalist, was released from a Los Angeles-area lockup Monday evening, just six hours after checking in. Weiland was supposed to serve an eight-day sentence stemming from a November DUI bust.

The 40-year-old frontman was released from the Van Nuys Jail at approximately 6:45 p.m., according to a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Jail.

That's good news for fans, since the blotter-friendly "Plush" singer is getting out in time to join his STP mates for their first concert in more than five years this Saturday at the Rock on the Range Festival in Columbus, Ohio.

Weiland pleaded no contest April 28 to misdemeanor driving under the influence for plowing his Mercedes into another vehicle last year. He was sentenced to 192 hours in the clink, placed on four years' probation, ordered to complete an alcohol-education program and fined $2,000.

Just days before learning his punishment, his other band, Velvet Revolver, fired the much-rehabbed rocker, citing "his increasingly erratic onstage behavior and personal problems."

Shia LaBeouf is looking pretty lethargic on the new GQ cover. But maybe we should cut him some slack.

After all, the 21-year-old actor does tell the mag that when it came to prepping for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he "never worked so hard for anything in my life. I did four months of sword fighting and bike training. And I spent insane amounts of time on the switchblade."

Not to mention the relentless razzing from his buddies when it comes to his personal life, like the time a rumor began circulating that he was dating Rihanna.

"My friends were like, 'Are you serious, bro? Why didn't you tell me about that?' I was like, 'I really don't know her like that.' For weeks they were singing that "Umbrella" song everywhere I walked. And those are my people!"

Ugh, nice pals, Shia. The least they could have done was nag you with that "Don't Stop the Music" tune instead.

Typically, getting personal details out of a celebrity's publicist is like pulling teeth. Apparently, that's not so with Beyoncé's rep, who's even offered to act as the media's own ob-gyn.

As sources have been saying Jay-Z's wifey has "gained a lot of pregnancy weight," a rep for the singer tells the New York Post, "I don't know if she's pregnant. Let me perform an ultrasound and get back to you."

Now, that's the kind of cooperative spirit we appreciate around here.

Well, unless she is, and someone forgot to tell the guy who runs the network.

• Is Lost homeless now that some other show took its time slot?
• Will Betty get her groove back?
• What's up with the big twist ahead for Grey's?

For those about to rock, Metallica salutes you. And solicits you.

The veteran rockers are getting ready to enter the digital world on their own terms (cough, Napster, cough), launching Mission: Metallica, a new website to allow fans "fly on the wall" access to the recording of their long-awaited new album (due in September), offering exclusive content, song teasers and video of sessions.

The site, which touts a platinum level but for the time being carries no price tag, launched today with a three-minute clip of the band recording and goofing around in the studio.

Among other temptations offered on the site are contests to win a pair of backstage passes to every show of the upcoming tour, kicking off Wednesday in Los Angeles.

In a pitch to fans to sign up for the pay service, the band says, "See what it's all about...get that platinum thing we told you about and in general, bring it the f--k on!"

Sounds like some kind of monster all right...of a site.
