Culture: Dexter already kills people. Now he married his TV sister.

  • “Dexter” star gets hitched to his co-star If anyone ever wants to misguidedly complain about loose morals on TV, look no further than Michael C. Hall. Over the New Year’s holiday, he married his TV sis, Jennifer Carpenter. It’s like Greg and Marcia hooking up, only less pseudo-incestuous and more sinister. source

Culture: Another little bundle of joy for the Afflecks

  • Jennifer Garner + Ben Affleck = Baby No. Two. Garner gave birth to a healthy baby girl yesterday. None of the really cool details, like name or photos, have been released to the press. You gotta give that sort of thing time, guys! We hope they name her something really cool, like Apple or Pilot Inspektor.

Culture: A plea from the peanut gallery

  • Yo, Michael Cera. Loved you in Superbad. Thought you were amazing in Juno. And though I didn’t see Nick and Norah’s, I wanted to. Because of you. You’ve never steered me wrong. So, please, tell me: Why are you holding out on the Arrested Development movie? If it’s really so wrong to say yes, we don’t want you to be right. That is all. source
