Some days, I only hear the real news via Facebook. It’s a side effect of working at home, mostly by myself. But Sundays are particularly ripe, as everyone’s back on after the weekend, sharing their news and the news. Today it was the news that Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise and Ryan Seacrest had all been in town for a friend’s wedding in Jerusalem, held at the swank Mamilla Hotel.

After a long ‘discussion’ of comments about whether people would or wouldn’t be interested in bumping into Tom (too nuts as a Scientologist), Denzel (liked by all) or Ryan (most couldn’t decide whether it was Ryan Gosling or Ryan Seacrest), it was added that the wedding they were attending was that of Ben Silverman, former co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and an Emmy-winning executive producer of shows such as The Office, Ugly Betty and The Biggest Loser.

So it seems that Silverman was marrying his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Cuoco, in a destination wedding in the holy land. They got engaged last year on a golf course, and for whatever reason, decided to get married here. I’m thinking that it had to be a good party, given that this is a guy who once partied with caged lions. He’s also the one who’s been gently mocked on “30 Rock” as the character Devon Banks, an amusingly slimy NBC executive played by Will Arnett.

Well, mazal tov to Ben and Jennifer. May you live happily ever after.
