Daryl Hannah and Neil Young appear to have tied the knot in two wedding ceremonies — the first on his yacht in Washington State, the second last week in California.
Ron Fugere, a local boat captain in the San Juan islands, tells People he watched a “small, intimate gathering” take place on Young’s 1913 vintage boat, the W.N. Ragland, on July 27.
“I saw a boat down at the end of the dock that I hadn’t recognized from a distance so I thought I’d walk down and see what boat it was,” Fugere says. He serves as captain of NorthWest Sailing Adventures.

Cable news pundit Sally Kohn, who officially joined CNN as a contributor on Wednesday, is used to taking a lot of flak from her conservative critics on Twitter, but she won at least one detractor over with her self-deprecating sense of humor. Former South Carolina Republican Party official Todd Kincannon was trolling Kohn on Thursday about her haircut. “Nice haircut sir,” Kincannon snarked at the openly lesbian commentator. Another of Kincannon’s followers tweeted a Photoshopped picture of the pundit side-by-side with the pop star. “Requesting permission to steal joke!” Kincannon interjected.

Good morning!
Katee Sackhoff talked with Collider about her bisexual psycho role in Sexy Evil Genius. She was asked if her character is actually crazy or just really good at manipulating her exes:
Isn’t that the question, though? Some of the craziest people I’ve met, in my life, are some of the most brilliant people I’ve met. It’s almost as if they get bored in their own brain and they have to come up with this craziness to stay interested in life. So, I don’t know. I still don’t know. I think that’s up to the viewer. I think there’s probably little bits of both inside of her, for sure.
You can find Sexy Evil Genius on DVD, digital download or VOD.
