At the American Music Awards in Las Vegas on May 25, 63-year-old Paula Abdul told PEOPLE she still has "tears" and "pinch me" moments as her song finds new audiences.

Meghan, 44, shared never-before-seen wedding photos on May 19, including a black-and-white image in the cloisters at St. George’s Chapel.
