Christine Marinoni and Cynthia Nixon: Married!

Former Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon is now a married woman. The actress exchanged vows over the weekend with Christine Marinoni, the woman to whom she got engaged three years ago during a rally to support same-sex marriage in New York. A bill allowing for just that was passed in the summer of 2011. Confirms Nixon’s rep to People : “On May 27, 2012, Cynthia Nixon and her girlfriend, Christine Marinoni, were legally married in the state of New York. Nixon wore a custom dress by Carolina Herrera.” Nixon – who has two children from a previous relationship and one with Marinoni, an education activist – created a stir earlier this year when she said homosexuality is a choice . She then went on to amend the statement and explain she was only referring to her own experience. [Photo: WENN.com]

Flavor Flav Owes $111K in Back Child Support, Faces Jail Time

Flavor Flav needs to cough up $111,186 in child support payments to the mother of three of his seven kids or face jail time, news sources say. “It was declared a willful violation,” an official said of his failure to pay child support … which can’t be good. He faces up to 180 days behind bars. The rapper didn’t show up for a hearing last week, so an Albany, N.Y. magistrate recommended his driver’s license and passport be revoked. While Flav, 53, is required to pony up $837.72 a week to baby-mama Angie Parker for child support … he clearly hasn’t done so in some time. This isn’t the first time the outspoken, likely insane rapper has slipped up on child support payments. Parker sued Flav in 2010 for $63,458. Before his second career as a ridiculous VH1 reality show star, Flav was a member of Public Enemy. He served 90 days in jail in 1993 for shooting at his neighbor. The Flavor of Love star and House of Flavor restaurant owner is due back in court June 19 to answer the charges … we’ll see if he shows. [Photo: WENN.com]

Excerpt from:

National “To animate the wave form, we built it and then carefully removed each individual record. This had to be done very gently as any shift in the position of the sculpture would result in the failure of the animation and as we had to literally destroy each piece of vinyl to get it off, there was only one chance to get it right. Once the sculpture was finally built, the animation process took… Broadcasting platform : Vimeo Source : The Denver Egotist Discovery Date : 07/04/2012 00:01 Number of articles : 2

‘To Be the Best’: Val Kilmer Takes a Bullet for Tenacious D

So this is what Val Kilmer and his luscious locks were doing hanging with Kyle Gass and Jack Black , AKA Tenacious D . In the newly released video ‘To Be the Best,’ Black and Gass find their fates have gone in different directions following the failure of their film Tenacious D: In the Pick of Destiny and only Kilmer, Dave Grohl, and Josh Groban can help mental patient Gass and “Hollywood Jack” reunite (for their new album, in stores May 15). Also on hand? Tim Robbins . Why not? The forthcoming Tenacious D album is entitled “Rize of the Fenix” and the lead single, ” Rize of the Fenix ,” starts out a little something like this: “When The Pick of Destiny was released it was a bomb/And all the critics said that The D was done…but one thing no one thought about was The D will rize again, just like the fenix…” So, yeah. Box office failure inspires creative rebirth! Or something. Let’s watch Kilmer eat it for Jack Black again. [via Cinemablend ]
