Comedian Steve Martin married journalist Anne Stringfield in a surprise ceremony at his Los Angeles home in front of guests that included Lorne Michaels, Tom Hanks and Eugene Levy.
Martin's publicist, Alan Nierob, confirmed Sunday the 61-year-old funnyman had invited 75 guests to his home on Saturday under the guise of a dinner party. Instead, they were treated to the nuptials presided over by Bob Kerry, the former Nebraska senator.

Michaels, creator of Saturday Night Live, served as best man. Martin holds the record as the most frequent host ever on that show.
Ever the private individual, Martin posted a message on his website Sunday revealing nothing except this: "!"
Martin was previously married to his British co-star in 1984's All of Me and 1991's L.A. Stories, Victoria Tennant. That marriage ended in 1994.
The comedian said his vows sporting an Inspector Clouseau moustache, grown for the upcoming sequel to 2006's Pink Panther remake.
It marks the first marriage of Stringfield, 35, who met Martin about five years ago. Stringfield is a former staffer with The New Yorker magazine and currently writes for Vogue.
Martin's other movies include Father of the Bride, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, and Parenthood. His novel, Shopgirl, was made into a movie in 2005.

FILM REVIEW: Men in Black 3 by Eli Glasner May. 25, 2012 11:40 AM Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back in the action sequel Men in Black 3, a third instalment of a series now 15 years old. Though new addition Josh Brolin manages some amazing mimicry as a younger version of Jones, the story doesn't measure up to the weird and wonderful charms of the original, says film reviewer Eli Glasner.
