FBI says Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf victim of 'sextortion' scheme'; 'Duck Dynasty's' Willie Robertson attends fans' wedding; Robin Thicke sues Marvin Gaye family, Funkadelic: Weekend entertainment news links

The FBI says Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf was targeted by hackers who broke into her bedroom webcam. 'Duck Dynasty' star Willie Robertson surprised two fans by dropping by their wedding Saturday. Here's a sampling of what's trending online in entertainment news this weekend.

MISS TEEN USA 'SEXTORTION' VICTIM?: The FBI says Cassidy Wolf, who was crowned Miss Teen USA on Aug. 10, may have been the victim of a "sextortion" scheme. Agents are investigating allegations that hackers broke into her bedroom webcam several months ago. They then attempted to extort nude photographs from the 19-year-old Temecula, Calif., resident by falsely claiming they had found embarrassing images on the webcam. FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said agents believe they have identified the person behind the scheme, but that no arrests have been made. (msn.com)

'DUCK DYNASTY' NUPTIALS: A Pennsylvania couple moved their wedding to a Field & Stream store near Pittsburgh Saturday just on the off chance of meeting "Duck Dynasty" star Willie Robertson. The gambit paid off, too. The bearded reality star was in town for a promotional appearance at the store and showed up at the ceremony. Bride Mehgan Cook was wearing a comma sash on her wedding dress, and groom Charlie Miller was decked heat-to-toe in camouflage gear. WTAE-TV reports Robertson told the couple to always love and forgive one another. (yahoo.com)

ON THE LINKS WITH THE PREZ: Golfing with comedian Larry David would seem to be a risky proposition. One bad shot and you might find yourself the target of the sort of acerbic one-liners and sarcastic barbs that made "Seinfield" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" so popular. But David -- who co-created "Seinfeld" and produced and starred in HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" -- was likely on his best behavior Saturday at the Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard. One of his golfing partners was President Barack Obama, who is no slouch himself when it comes to delivering biting one-liners. He also has the added benefit of being Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. Not the sort of guy you want to make fun of for taking an 8 on the 9th hole. The president is vacationing on the Massachusetts island. David is there filming a HBO movie, "Clear History." whose new film is set on Martha's Vineyard where the president is winding up his weeklong vacation. (yahoo.com)

ROCK REUNION GROWS: The Replacements haven't played together in public for more than 22 years. That will change next weekend when Paul Westerberg and bassist Tommy Stinson team up Aug. 25 in Toronto for the first of three Riot Fest Shows. The band will also perform Sept. 15 in Chicago and Sept. 21 in Denver. Word is that two of Westerberg's pals for his solo days -- drummer Josh Freese and Guitart Dave Minehan -- have been hired on to perform with the band. (Rolling Stone)

ROBIN THICKE SUES: "Blurred Lines" is going from the pop charts to the court docket. Robin Thicke, T.I and Pharrell Williams filed suit this week in federal court asking a judge to rule that their hit single does not violate copyrights from Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up" and Funkadelic's "Sexy Ways." The pre-emptive move was taken, according to the lawsuit, because both Gaye's family and Funkadelic have alleged that "Blurred Lines" copies their work. (USA Today)
