Former longtime "Saturday Night Live" performer Jimmy Fallon, 33, and movie producer Nancy Juvonen, 40, were married in the Caribbean, a publicist said Saturday. Fallon and Juvonen married in a Dec. 22 ceremony on Necker Island "with family and close friends in attendance," Ina Treciokas said. It was the first marriage for both. No details were released.
Actress faces DUI charge
First Rebecca De Mornay was arrested Oct. 30 for a traffic violation in Beverly Hills, Calif., when officers smelled alcohol on her breath. Now, she's been charged with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and one count of driving with a blood-alcohol level more than the legal limit of .08. De Mornay, 48, is scheduled to be arraigned Monday. Calls to her representatives were not returned.

It pays to be nice
For nearly seven years Melina Salazar did her best to put on a smile and tend to the every need of her most loyal and cantankerous customer, smiling through his demands and curses. Walter "Buck" Swords, 89, seems to have appreciated it, leaving the waitress $50,000 and a 2000 Buick when he died. "I still can't believe it," the Luby's cafeteria employee told Harlingen, Texas, television station KGBT-TV in an interview during which she described Swords as "kind of mean." Swords died in July, but Salazar learned a few days before Christmas that he had left her the money and car.
Oops!
The truth will out
Burglary suspect Daniel Cabral, 22, who gave a false home address to police after his arrest, didn't count on one thing: getting robbed himself. New Bedford, Mass., police say Cabral was arrested Wednesday and charged with burglarizing a University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, building. He was arraigned and released until his next court date. Hours later, he was robbed at gunpoint while walking home from a bar. He reported the robbery to police, this time giving them his real address. Police later searched his home and said they found university equipment that had been reported stolen.
