Ben Lee got married and he didn't even tell us.

Singer-songwriter Ben Lee, best known outside Australia for the 2005 hit "Catch My Disease" and for dating actress Claire Danes in the late '90s, married actress Ione Skye somewhere in the south of India in December 2008.

The pair, who announced their engagement almost one year ago, were hitched in a Hindu ceremony completely devoid of the one thing most betrothed couples learn to loathe - planning. The Hindu ceremony was, according to the Herald Sun article, planned without any of their input.

"A Hindu wedding is pretty spectacular in itself . . . we're both gonna be surprised,'' he told extrahit in November. The news broke on Boxing Day in Lee's native Australia.

It's Lee's first marriage, but in making his relationship with Skye official, he gained a stepdaughter in Kate, 7, Ione's daughter with ex-boyrfriend David Netto. Skye, the daughter of '60s pop star Donovan, was previously married to the Beastie Boys' Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz.

"I have this theory of convergence, that good things always happen with bad things. I know you have to deal with them at the same time, but I just don't know why they have to happen at the same time. I just wish I could work out some schedule. Am I just babbling? Do you know what I mean?"

YES. That was my first reaction.

Not bad for a lifelong theme song, though.

i saw him eating at Whole Foods once.
i tried to tell my friend discreetly, and she yelled, BEN KWELLER?! really loud, and he totally heard her and got up and left.

i felt bad. he was enjoying his tofu, it seemed.

omg lol.

lolll

i'd be more excited if it was ben kweller too

ajahahaha

hahahaha! I would have been jazzed to see Ben Kweller too though.

hahahahhah

OMG LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love your friend!

LOLOL

Congrats!

How "indie" of them.

I hope he's able to please her secularly.

"i can't believe we're making love"
"what are you talking about? we're not making love"

my head is a box filled with nothin'.

thats the way i like it.

Aw, cute. My friend totally flirted with him once. True story.

two of my bb's get married at once?? :(

great wedding photo, thanks for sharing!

are they even hindu?!

oh white people

omg I've hated her for so long. SO LONG.

I love Ione Skye. She's so non-classically pretty. I love it.

Not that I disagree that she's pretty (she's gorgeous imo), but non-classically?

I knew it didn't sound right. I wrote that at 4 in the morning, lol. I just meant that she's really not what many people would think of as an 'ideal' beauty. She's not hollywood thin or beautiful. Don't get me wrong, she is what I believe to be beautiful...just not the norm. Does that make more sense?
