Zach Galifianakis is Getting Married
Ladies, we're sorry to have to be the ones to tell you this, but Zach Galifianakis is officially off the market. CeleBuzz reports that he's getting married to his long-time girlfriend, Quinn Lundberg.Invitations for the wedding have already gone out, so it would appear that we are a little late in reporting their engagement. Still, word on the streets is that 42-year-old Galifianakis used the opportunity to draw caricatures of himself and Quinn, 29, in which he looked like a troll and she looked like a goddess.
Well played, Galifianakis.
Quinn is, refreshingly, not an actress. She is the co-founder of the non-profit Growing Voices, an organization that helps connect donors to recipients, most of whom are small, community-based projects.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
