The guys from "Pawn Stars" love America more than anyone you know ... that is, If how much you love America is measured by how much money you spend on fireworks during Fourth of July weekend.

Corey Harrison and Chum Lee tell TMZ they are forking over $10,000 on a boatload of fireworks -- including roman candles and enormous bottle rockets. The pair plan on setting them off on Monday, somewhere in the Las Vegas desert.

The guys also plan to have a contest against each other to see who can shoot the shop's bowling ball mortar cannon the farthest.

Safety first, boys!

Shia Labeouf's Transformers: Dark Of The Moon has destroyed the competition at the U.S. box office, grossing $97.4 million (£60.9 million) to score the biggest opening weekend of the year so far.

The third installment of the action franchise, directed by Michael Bay, opened on Tuesday night and had pulled in $162 million (£101.25 million) by Sunday, according to early studio estimates.

Its weekend (01-03Jul11) gross of $97.4 million (£60.9 million) beats the $90.2 million (£56.4 million) taken by Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides when it was released in May.

The Transformers sequel also makes history as the largest Independence Day weekend draw since Spider-Man 2's $88.2 million (£55 million) haul in 2004.

Meanwhile, animated film Cars 2 was a distant second on the box office chart with $25.1 million (£15.67 million), while Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts' Larry Crowne enters at four, followed by another new release, Monte Carlo.

Avril Lavigne admits it can be ''weird'' to see fans with tattoos in her likeness, but finds their tributes ''incredible''.

Avril Lavigne thinks fans who have tattoos of her likeness are "incredible".

The 'What the Hell' hitmaker - who has several inkings herself - admits it can be "weird" to see the length some people will go to to prove their love for her, but she is flattered by the attention.

She said: "Lots of fans have the same tattoos I've had done, but I have seen portraits of myself. They looked like me. That's the most important thing, isn't it?

One guy had a black-and-white portrait of my face on his shoulder. Is it weird? Yeah but it's pretty incredible. It makes you think, 'Wow my music has had an impact on their life - someone is really dedicated.

The 26-year-old star also admitted she still enjoys hearing her own music on the radio as it makes her feel "proud".

She told Q magazine: "Whenever a song of mine comes on the radio I don't switch off. Never. It's awesome. Makes me proud.

"Whenever I get to the end of making an album, I take a copy home and play it for my friends and ask them what they think. Of course, they always like it."

Kate Moss brought an understated amount of glitz and glam to her wedding Friday.

The supermodel, 37, tied the knot with her boyfriend Jamie Hince of the band The Kills at a church in Gloucestershire, England.

The couple became engaged in February, after reportedly meeting in 2007.

In a cream-colored, sleeveless vintage dress designed by her longtime friend John Galliano, Moss walked down the aisle after her 15 ? yes, 15 ? bridesmaids.

ALL THE DETAILS ON KATE MOSS' LAVISH WEDDING REGISTRY

One of the young helpers was Moss' 8-year-old daughter, Lila, from her relationship with Jefferson Hack, who was also in attendance.

Moss' gown featured an overlay of gold embroidery and rhinestones with a matching veil that extended all the way to the ground.

The bride's something blue? Her shoes, according to the Daily Mail, which reported that she wore a pair of custom-made Manolo Blahniks with a blue insole.

Hince, 42, was decked out in a light blue Stefano Pilati for YSL suit with a pin-striped, button-down shirt underneath, paired with a polka-dotted tie.

DO CELEBRITIES MAKE THE MOST GORGEOUS BRIDES?

Locals and fans alike crowded along the street where a fleet of Rolls-Royces escorted guests to and from the nuptials. A reception was to be held at Moss' estate.

Among the reported celebrity guests were fellow model Naomi Campbell (in a Givenchy outfit), Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and famed photographer Mario Testino.

"It was a wham bam rock 'n' roll marriage," a source told Us Weekly. "She came out of the church with the bridesmaids and just snogged his face off."

"Then the doors to the Rolls-Royce opened and rock music blared out for everyone," the source added. "It was a 'Wow, Kate Moss is married' moment."

The festivities will reportedly continue throughout the whole weekend. The Daily Mail reported that the celebration will possibly include music from the likes of Iggy Pop, Beth Ditto and Snoop Dogg.

Locals have already given the weekend a special name: "Moss-stock."
