The charge is that — wait for it it — some of the weddings in the video were set-ups, and not the surprise drop-ins as presented and that one of the brides in question might be America's Next Top Model contestant Raina Hein.
So, if music videos were the last place where you had a vestige of hope — I assume you gave up on the sanctity of marriage long ago — then you might be in for a letdown, even though it'd only be fair to note that Adam Levine has stated in interviews that the Grooms were in on the surprise, with each doing what they needed to do to facilitate the guest performances.
UPDATE: The floodgates are now open with lots of actors being recognized and/or admitting that they participated in staged marriages. Of course, anyone who's ever seen a typical wedding video can tell you the different between shooting video and shooting a music video. And "Sugar" is surely lit and blocked like a music video. (That said, is anyone really worked up about this? Will it crush you when I tell you that most artists don't live in the mansions you see in their videos, or that they're not surrounded by booty 24/7?)
The awards will be broadcast live on Britain's ITV, with performances by Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Paloma Faith, George Ezra and Royal Blood.
This previously unreleased Beastie Boys video — essentially a compilation of various clips, including a the band's last ever live show, which took place at Bonarroo 2009 — was apparently lurking online for many years before a hardcore Beasties fan named Eoin McLernon found it via some credit digging that eventually lead to an unlisted version of the video.
An unexpected release, but hopefully one that inspires future (and official) digging into the Beastie archives...

Don't feel shy about singing along with this first new track from Sleater-Kinney in forever. All the cool kids are already doing it, including Fred Armisen, Gerard Way, Miranda July, Norman Reedus, Ellen Page, Sarah Silverman and many others. Eventually the actual song break through the mix to give you a taste for how it truly sounds — as opposed to the charming, yet occasionally, shall we say "pitchy" celebrity warbling — but chances are you'll also be singing along way before then.
Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine has clearly studied the rules of wedding crashers — and the credits, getting Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin on-board to lead the band through a series of gonzo wedding drop-ins across LA. It's a fun gambit, even if the goal is just to deliver a wedding band surprise and not to pick up drunk bridesmaids.
Lots of opulence, lots of food, lots of debauchery, lots of [blurred] NSFW. Plus a tiger and a squid. That's what you get for the price in this clip A-Trak himself describes as "Eyes Wide Shut meets Burning Man."
FKA Twigs slowly, yet steadily untangles herself from a bondage rig made of her own hair, learning to use what once entrapped her as a tool to reach into a digital bliss...
