Culture: Yo, Harrison Ford, good thing you married Calista Flockhart first

  • See, Julius kind of has a thing for Ally McBeal. And Harrison Ford, erstwhile action star du jour, had been dating her for SEVEN FREAKING YEARS, and had yet to make it official. Julius was all ready to jump in on that action if he didn’t get a ring on her finger. He’s been reading Neil Strauss. He knows all the good pickup lines (but mostly uses the bad ones). Glad Harrison acted – he knows all of Calista’s lines from “Brothers and Sisters.” ALL OF THEM. It’s actually kinda creepy. source

U.S.: The Prop. 8 trial hits the closing arguments. What’s next?

  • A final decision will be coming in a few weeks. A lot of people are watching California’s gay marriage trial, and it’s one that should have a lot of fireworks. In the closing arguments, Judge Vaughn Walker is looking to see if gay marriage threatens the institution of marriage, if being gay is a choice, and if California voters were justified in banning gay marriage. Today could change everything. source

Culture: The odd couple: Elton John sang at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding

  • somehow, Limbaugh has been married four times. The radio-show gabber drew a diverse set of guests for his marriage to Kathryn Rogers over the weekend, including James Carville, Fred Thompson and Sean Hannity (OK, maybe not), but the most diverse guest was the musical act. Elton John was reportedly paid $1 million to sing “The Bitch is Back” to the audience. Considering his show’s theme music, you’d expect him to grab The Pretenders. But no. source

U.S.: With interracial marriages up, fewer black women are getting married

  • 22%of black men married outside their race in ’08
  • 1:60the ratio of black man/white woman marriages to all others in 2008
  • 1:1000the ratio of marriages like that when Obama’s parents married
  • » Why this is becoming an issue: Simply put, black women in the U.S. are finding it harder to marry within their race. The new study released Friday by the Pew Research Center finds that fewer black women are married as a result of a gradual decline in the number of black men to marry. Prof. Steven Ruggles, director of the Minnesota Population Center, explains: “When you add in the prison population, it pretty well explains the extraordinarily low marriage rates of black women.”  Other races are also more willing to look beyond their heritage to marry. Half of all Asians in the U.S., for example, don’t marry another Asian. source
