Water Cooler: Wedding Wagon, Nevada’s 150th, Judge Mariah

Here are a few things in news, entertainment and pop culture that caught our eye last week.

■ Las Vegas newlyweds-to-be have a new matrimonial option: The Wedding Wagon, a mobile wedding chapel. Combine it with a food truck and you could take care of both wedding ceremony and reception curbside.

■ State officials are seeking a design for a logo to commemorate Nevada's 150th anniversary of statehood. May we suggest a drawing of a house sitting underwater?

■ Mariah Carey signs on as an "American Idol" judge. Viewers can now expect every contestant to court Mariah's vote by stringing together annoying series of gratuitous high notes.

■ News reports claim that 18 police officers in China try feverishly to save a drowning woman who turns out to be a blow-up doll. Somewhere there swims a very lonely dolphin.
