Dexter Married His Sister]]> Look, for three seasons now we've humored Dexter on his bloody little vigilante campaign to rid the world of murderers, rapists, dine-n'-dashers, and the like. But now he's overstepped the boundaries of serial-killer good taste.

The AP reports:

Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are husband and wife.

Hall's spokesman, Craig Bankey, said on Friday that the couple eloped in California on New Year's Eve. They'll walk the red carpet together at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday — the first time publicly acknowledging their relationship. [...] They've been quietly dating for about a year and a half.

At their wedding, Carpenter's grandfather's wedding band was attached to her bouquet of white roses.

All joking aside, we couldn't be happier for the couple. Romantically speaking, it's been a great week for unintuitive forensics cops with psychopathic brothers, and a terrible one for busty psychics. Oh well—c'est la vie!

<![CDATA[Corey Haim Engaged To The Princess Of Scream!]]> We've felt a special bond with Corey Haim ever since we played a gradeschool extra in his 1985 disease-of-the-week movie A Time to Live. (True story.) We've thrilled to his highs, bummed to his lows, puzzled at some of his more bizarre career decisions, and sat back helplessly as he read aloud the remarks—some supportive, some scathing—left by commenters on this very webspot. So it's with genuine elation that we pass along this breaking news from his website:

October 29, 2008 - A big mazal tov goes out to COREY — HE IS GETTING MARRIED!! The lovely lady is Tiffany Shepis! COREY and Tiffany first met 12 years ago while COREY was on set filming FEVER LAKE. They recently reunited at the Chiller Theatre autograph show & the rest is history. The wedding has been set for May 9, 2009! [...]

Also, COREY wants to let everyone who ordered a painting know that he will be shipping them out to you within about 2 weeks.

We were unfamiliar with Shepis's work, but learned from her bio that she is a "voluptuous New York-born beauty [and ] princess of scream [who] often upstages more seasoned actresses and has some great dance grooves." She has no fewer than 12 projects currently in the pipeline, including Blood De Madam: The Fallen Ones, Thorns from a Rose, and Night of the Demon. Quite obviously, that crossbow was aimed straight for Corey's heart. L'chaim!

Jennifer Hudson was given the greatest gift for her 27th birthday any ascendant American Idol also-ran could ever ask for: an engagement ring from her boyfriend, David Otunga. Like his fiancee, Otunga himself is a notable reality TV runner-up, having been passed over for lifetime studding services by a professional skank on VH1's I Love New York 2. Back then, the world knew him as Punk; but from here on out, it's Mr. That Guy With J-Hud. Congratulations to the happy couple! [AP]

<![CDATA[Ellen And Portia's Wedding Video: Dangerously In Love]]> We needed something to bleach the image of Julianna Margulies's privates off our cortex, and what better psychic disinfectant than some exclusive footage from Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi's recent nuptials. Both brides look stunning—their vaginas safely stowed away somewhere where guests and hovering helicopters would never see them. We were particularly moved by the moment Ellen first laid eyes on Portia emerging in full hair, makeup, and gown, a sight that could turn even the most ardent of penis-enthusiasts into card-carrying members of the American Association of Lipstick Lesbians. [Ellen]

<![CDATA[A Peek Inside Ellen And Portia's Guest Book: CNN Bigotry, Katherine Heigl's Misery, and T.R. Knight's Dream]]> By all accounts, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi's Saturday wedding was a stunning and intimate affair, the two beautiful brides eliciting audible gasps from the guests as they walked down the aisle, trailed closely behind by Iggy the Flower Dog tossing mouthfuls of white rose petals. Obviously, the world bids these two rapturously-in-love and talented ladies a lifetime of happiness together, though it's interesting to see how those good wishes sometimes play themselves out. For starters, we have CNN's headline on the nuptials, noticed by blogger Chexydecimal, which reads, "Ellen DeGeneres 'marries' Portia Rossi." After complaints were lodged, they pulled the scare quotes—floating there like two chubby, hooked televangelist's fingers—but kept De Rossi's last name wrong.

T.R. Knight's internalized, anti-breeder wrath nearly ruins the wedding video, after the jump!

At the other end of the spectrum comes a video greeting card from People.com, where Katherine Heigl opens the well-wishes with a thoroughly exasperated, "Marriage...[defeated exhalation] marriage..." Glad you're loving it, Kath! Then, T.R. Knight swoops in to give what could very well be the most depressing congratulatory wedding message in history. He almost cracks a smile near the beginning, then pauses thoughtfully for an uncomfortably long moment before launching into a diatribe about "the anger, and rage, and rage, and sadness" he feels at the many wrongs inflicted by this country upon, presumably, Caucasian males making seven-figures a year such as himself. Thank God Jason Biggs is around to add a little—you know—happiness to the proceedings. This dude loves marriage! And breeding! He's a marriage-loving, breeding machine!

A friend of Kiefer's said: 'Now that Kiefer is finally divorced, everyone is hoping he will marry Siobhan. Kiefer is a changed man and Siobhan is just the right woman for him. She is an amazing woman and has transformed Kiefer in just a few short weeks.'" Congratulations to the hopefully happy couple! [BANG]

<![CDATA[Jessica Alba And Cash Warren Made Husband And Wife]]> Jessica Marie Alba and Cash Garner Warren were married on Monday in the Beverly Hills courthouse's ceremony room in Beverly Hills, California.

Ms. Alba, 27, is a television and film actress whose first break came being cast as the lead in an updated version of dolphin-adventure children's television series Flipper. She would later rise to prominence playing a genetically enhanced super-soldier on the Fox network's Dark Angel. She became an instant fan favorite for her stunning Latin/French Canadian looks, and it wasn't long before she made the leap to the silver screen, with prominent roles in Honey (2003), Sin City (2005), Fantastic Four (2005), Into the Blue (2005), and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). Ms. Alba is ranked frequently as one of the most desirable women alive by men's magazines like Maxim and FHM, and has earned such acting accolades as a Choice Actress Teen Choice Award and Saturn Award for Best Actress. She is a graduate of El Roble Intermediate at Claremont and home tutoring.

Mr. Warren, 31, is a producer. He is the son of Michael Warren, former star of Hill Street Blues. He graduated from Yale University in 2002.

The couple met on the set of Fantastic Four, where Mr. Warren was working as assistant to the director. They were engaged last December, shortly after announcing that Ms. Alba was pregnant with the couple's first child, expected some time in early summer.

<![CDATA[Portia De Rossi-DeGeneres The Happiest Girl In The Room]]> In the wake of yesterday's landmark ruling that stated gays living in the state of California would now be afforded the same basic rights and mutual-tattoo-application opportunities as Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, Ellen DeGeneres became the first celebrity to announce wedding plans to girlfriend Portia de Rossi. Addressing her studio audience yesterday for the show set to air today, a beaming DeGeneres declared, "I would like to say now, for the first time, I am announcing I am getting married."

The crowd—which including a wet-eyed de Rossi—instantly lept to their feet and cheered. After a rough year enduring the angry taunts of picketing writers, it's nice to see some harmony and happiness return to the Ellen set, with the only thing whipped at her face as she exits the building being handfuls of rice and blown kisses. All that's left at this point is to hammer out the event details—what is surely to be the most spectacular celebrity wedding of the year, with virtually no expense spared on the brides' custom-tailored tuxshedos and giant, Iggy-shaped ice sculptures.

<![CDATA[We Do!]]> DING-DONG! DONG-DING! The rainbow-colored smoke has emerged from the chimney atop the California Supreme Court. The Court bells, each recently adorned with a giant portrait of Dave Beckham and Posh Spice, are sounding. For it's official! Same-sex couples in our glorious, seaside state have the right to be wed! We know you have questions, so we went directly to the Defamer special correspondent on Legal Fine Print Accompanying Totally Fabulous Rulings to answer them:
Defamer: So what does this mean?

Correspondent: Gay men and women, as of 30 minutes ago, may now get married in california, with NO restrictions.
Defamer: When might that change?
Correspondent: If the Supreme Court of the United States overturns this.
Defamer: What are the chances of that happening?
Correspondent: This is unlikely to happen as it's a state issue, i.e., there's nothing in the state or U.S. constitution prohibiting gay marriage, so you'd have to get an amendment to one of those. That will in most likelihood not happen. It takes a tremendous amount of effort to ratify an amendment.
Defamer: Yay! Will you marry us?
Correspondent: No.
Defamer: Sad face.
Correspondent: But you can marry anyone you like now—man, or woman.
Defamer: Happy face!

<![CDATA[Cozying Up With The Colemans]]> As we noted several weeks ago, diminutive quick-cash loan company spokesman Gary Coleman has finally given up on playing the ever-dwindling Diff'rent Strokes-groupie field, and settled down with a lovely young lady named Shannon Price. Until now, little was known about the happy couple, save for the fact that Coleman sometimes accidentally launches things at Shannon's head in moments of anger, and that at the age of 40, he is still a technical* virgin. (*A post-wrap-party exploratory session with Dana Plato notwithstanding.) Well, The Today Show set out to correct all that, by squeezing the newlyweds on a couch alongside Al Roker for some get-to-know-the-Colemans time. Enjoy, and while you're at it, have a ball imagining what their kids will wind up looking like, should Gary ever overcome his sex-having issues.

<![CDATA[Queen Latifah Urges Fans Not To Send Their Lesbian-Wedding Gifts Just Yet]]> lati-wedding.jpgHaving, like the rest of us, caught wind of a story circulating that Queen Latifah was finally going to make an honest woman out of her longtime personal-training companion, a Sun Times reporter at a junket for The Perfect Holiday gathered the nerve to ask the actress/torch singer/hip-hop architect whether the rumors were true:

I did ask Queen Latifah for reaction to recent tabloid gossip that she allegedly was going to wed her long-time female personal trainer.
She quipped, ''When you're famous these days, it's just part of the deal — unfortunately. People will make up all sorts of things that are not true. . .There ain't gonna be no wedding.''

Ain't gonna be no wedding: Five meticulously selected words that instantly dispelled all the Home Depot-registry rumors, while leaving the door conveniently cracked open for a nearly infinite array of romantic configurations for the great Mama Morton. Would that all much-whispered-about Hollywood heavyweights handle themselves with such aplomb when pressed such as this, perhaps we'd never be forced to swallow a great many unlikely claims, such as Travolta Airways's pledge that every Business Class fare includes free DirecTV and a personal smooch from the captain.

<![CDATA[Pretend To Look Surprised When Queen Latifah Finally Sits You Down For Some 'Big News']]> latifah.jpgWhile we are romantics at heart, we're typically reluctant to note news about celebrity engagements unless they are triple-flack-confirmed and appear beneath a flashing "EXCLUSIVE!" sign in a reputable news source such as People or Entertainment Tonight. But MediaTakeOut.com seems so convinced that they can hear the faint sound of wedding bells on the horizon for one of Hollywood's most beloved glass closet dwellers, we felt compelled to pass the news along to you:

MediaTakeOut.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that Queen Latifah and her longtime girlfriend Jeanette are OFFICIALLY ENGAGED!!! The two women have been in a relationship for more than 4 years - and they've finally decided to make it official.
And there's more. MediaTakeOut.com can confirm that the two are planning on PUBLICLY coming out to the world about their engagement. Word is that once Queen Latifah's finished promoting her current movie, The Perfect Holiday an announcement will be made.

MediaTakeOut.com can't reveal our source to this story, but we can tell you that we're 100% sure on this one.

We can only hope this revelation (a Very Special Oprah that should surprise no one, save for some isolated clusters of small-town Latifah fans who felt her undeniable sexual chemistry with LL Cool J in Last Holiday really crackled) might mean a return to the butcher roles that defined the earlier part of her career: In particular, we're thinking of Set It Off's Cleopatra "Yeah, I'm a lesbian. You wanna make somethin' of it, or do you want me to help you hotwire that getaway car? That's what I thought. Now step aside, little lady" Sims, one of her more memorable and credible screen creations.

<![CDATA[Details Of Brandon Routh's Ultra-Secret Superwedding Revealed!]]> 8283096c0a122c7195363c1fc0044bc0.jpgIt's been a long while since the name Brandon Routh—the dashing young man plucked from obscurity to fill Superman's tights in the all-Kryptonian hero's long-awaited and quickly forgotten return to the big screen—has come up. So it was with a measure of genuine delight that we received an e-mail blast entitled, "ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT IS EXCLUSIVELY INSIDE THE SECRET WEDDING OF 'SUPERMAN' BRANDON ROUTH," a subject line that effectively teased the many details of the one-movie-long resuméd actor's mystery-enshrouded nuptials therein:

The Man of Steel is officially off the market! 'Superman Returns' star BRANDON ROUTH married longtime girlfriend, actress COURTNEY FORD, on Saturday at JON and MINDY PETERS' 3000-acre El Capitan Ranch, just outside of Santa Barbara, CA.
It was a very exclusive, intimate wedding. The 150 guests were made up of friends and family, as well as KATE BOSWORTH, Warner Bros. President and COO ALAN F. HORN and director BRYAN SINGER. [...]

"The Insider"'s CHERYL WOODCOCK spoke to Mindy Peters, who revealed that she and Jon did about a $1 million ranch overhaul for Brandon's big day, including adding a man-made lake, rock walls and waterfalls, as well as fountains that will shoot water on cue when Routh gets the word, "You may now kiss the bride." There were also fireworks to mark the union.

We suspect the spectacular Dancing "I Do" Waters will soon become the must-have feature at every celebrity wedding. But don't expect any of those receptions to come close to the lavish ceremony held at the Peters' Hacienda, whose $1 million renovation was but a fraction of what crazy, mean, beautiful-hearted faded superproducer Jon Peters feels Routh, whom he loves "like my own, flying superson," deserves for helping to make him feel like a vital Hollywood force once again.

<![CDATA[Pamela Anderson Weds In Vegas Moments Before Being Sawed In Half]]> pam-marry.jpgNever one to let a couple butt-rocker mistakes in her past scare her away from true happiness, serial matrimonialist Pamela Anderson has again tied the knot, this time to longtime friend Rick Salomon—best known as the adventuresome protagonist of 1 Night in Paris—in a quickie reception Saturday night in Las Vegas:

The pair tied the knot Saturday night in Las Vegas at the Mirage Hotel before Anderson's children and members of her family, sources confirm to PEOPLE.

A conventional marriage it wasn't, as the nuptials actually took place in an hour-and-a-half between Anderson's two magic shows.

Anderson, 40, donned a white denim Valentino dress at the small ceremony. Wedding guests included Tobey Maguire, Lukas Haas and magician Hans Klok.

After the nuptials, it was right back to work for Anderson, who made no secret that she had just gotten married. "Hello, I just got married...I did," Anderson said after performing in the second magic show of the night. "I'm distracted. It's a big day. A big day at the office."

While most little girls dream of the day they might be betrothed to the man of their dreams in a fairytale ceremony capped by the release of a thousand doves, it says a great deal about trouper Anderson that for her third outing to the altar, she was willing to squeeze her vows between her Beauty of Magic commitments and settle for a half-dozen of the white pigeons turned into colorful scarves by the conjuring boss who gave her away just minutes before.

Toronto-based media mogul Thomson, 50, is Canada's richest man and the 10th richest man in the world, according to this year's ranking of billionaires by Forbes magazine, which also says he is the divorced father of three.

We quietly shed a tear for the end of a seemingly everlasting, albeit fictional, love between a MILF of Privilege and her menschy, surfing Public Defender, but we couldn't be happier for Rowan, who'll live out her wildest romantic fantasies when she arrives at her fairy tale wedding in a moose-drawn carriage made entirely of solid-gold Toonies.
