Coming off of the excellent Shakespeare in the Park production of Twelfth Night, starring Anne Hathaway, the Public heads over to the darker side of the Bard's spectrum with a production of Othello, starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

And because of the connection to LAByrinth, the production is likely to be a labor of love for the actors. Tickets for Othello go on sale beginning August 3rd. With just 23 performances planned for the run, seats should go pretty quickly.

Aaron Buerge, who found fleeting love as the star of "The Bachelor"'s second season, is about to walk down the aisle with his new fiancee. Seven years after proposing to and later breaking up with Helene Eksterowicz on the popular reality show, Buerge tells People.com he'll marry Angye McIntosh on August 8 in Springfield, Mo.
