...under the unassuming name She & Him since they released their debut album, Volume One, in 2008. "The first copies didn't even have my name on them," says Deschanel. "If no one ever found out that it was me, I wouldn't have cared." It worked.

...younger brother of Gunsmoke star James Arness, Graves arrived in Hollywood by 1950 and got his first important role, as the all-American soldier who turns out to be a German spy in Billy Wilder's 1953 war comedy Stalag 17.

Among them: red spiral galaxies (most spirals are blue), green peas (small but energy-packed, star-spewing galaxies) and Hanny's Voorwerp, an amorphous blue blob spotted by Dutch schoolteacher Hanny Van Arkel, who learned about Galaxy Zoo on the website of Brian May, the former Queen guitarist turned astrophysicist...
...Lampoon hosted the event with the former World Wrestling Entertainment star in order "to make amends and celebrate our renewed friendship" (according to invitations left in the House), which was likely in reference to the distribution of 9/11-themed "Lever Forget" t-shirts on Housing...
