Jack Black, wife Tanya Haden, and new baby son Sammy

Jack Black and his family are completely adorable. Very deserving for such a nice guy! I think he’s… John Belushi + Chris Farley = Jack Black. [heh]

Nacho Libre: The Next Jackie Brown?

Can a tale of a slop cook in a Mexican orphanage named “Nacho” who moonlights as a masked Lucha Libre wrestler to raise money for the orphans be the next Napoleon Dynamite?

It’s directed by the same guy, Jared Hess, but it’s missing the star, and the guy who made Napoleon such a quotable, memorable character, Jon Heder. Granted, Jack Black is a funny man, and great actor. Yet, something tells me we’re in store for a good movie, but not Napoleon Dynamite Part 2.

It smells of the time Pulp Fiction came out and became a quotable cultural phenomenon in the mid 90′s. You couldn’t go anywhere without a “royale with cheese” or “medieval on your ass” comment by just about anyone. Then Jackie Brown came out, and while it was a great movie, it wasn’t Pulp Fiction.

In any case, I have not seen it yet, so it may very well be superior in all regards, and I will swallow my words.

Jack Black Elopes with Tanya Haden

Portly Jack Black has married Tanya Haden, PEOPLE reports.

Jack Black Tanya HadenActor-musician Jack Black has eloped with girlfriend Tanya Haden, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

Black and Haden, who met at Crossroads, a private high school in Santa Monica, only recently started dating.

“They love each other very much. We’re thrilled,” the bride’s father, jazz bassist Charlie Haden, tells PEOPLE.

Black, 36, is coming off the big-screen success of King Kong. His credits also include High Fidelity and School of Rock, and he’s one half of the comedy-rock duo Tenacious D, with partner Kyle Gass. The pair is due to release a film later this year, Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny.

Tanya Haden, a 34-year-old musician, is a triplet. Her sisters, Rachel and Petra, are musicians as well, having formed the band That Dog in the 1990s, and Petra recently released an a cappella cover album of The Who Sell Out.

I’ve never herd of Haden but she’s reasonably hot. Black, of whom I have of course heard, is not equivalently hunky.

It’s high time that rich, famous men started dating and even marrying women that would not even spit on them if they worked an office job.

Oh, it happens all the time?

Never mind.

Update: Miu von Furstenberg posts some disturbing photos of Black and observes, “That hunk of burning love is off the market for good ladies.”
