Common and Lupita Nyong'o were recently spotted on an Is-It-A-Date in New York City. It's inevitable where this will lead. I hear the faint chime of wedding bells. And a spoken word vow.

With the publication of her bestselling memoir Escape, ex-FLDS member Carolyn Jessop became a visible face of the horrors of polygamy. Now, she's become much more.

The events of last night's series finale were shocking for some, but what's even more surprising is the admission by the show's creators—in a post-show interview—Mark Olsen and Will Scheffer that Big Love "has always been a feminist show." Really? Yes, really.

In this week's compilation of pop culture crap, Tiffany talks about how cool it was to have a latent homosexual (Jonathan Knight) as a boyfriend, Cameron Diaz bought weed from Snoop Dogg in high school, and watch some interspecies love.

The final season of Big Love deserved a premiere with panache, and the TV polygamists did not disappoint.

"She's so not the fashionista-diva that is her image, so for her to get a little bit drunk on champagne and speak bluntly at a party…If anything, we felt bad for her." As long as this season doesn't suck too.

As California Gurls parodies go, our money's on the ladies of Brigham Young University, who cheerfully sing about Provo, Utah girls being "eighteen, clueless, and baby hungry," and rocking hot fashion just like the pioneers.

We're not sure why, but we're finding it impossible to stop watching these "drag Chloe Sevigny" vids.

Guinness World Records has named Wayne and Laurie Hallquist of California, who measure 6'10'' and 6'6'' respectively, the world's tallest living spouses. A 19th century couple who were each taller than 7' are still the tallest husband and wife ever.

Never-before-seen 1944 photos of Utah's polygamous FLDS community show how much things have changed in the era of Sister Wives — and how much they haven't.

The fifth season of Big Love, starting in January, will be its last. The creators say the "show has run its natural course." That, and Sister Wives does it for less. Alas.

There are so many ways to have many partners; this map created by Franklin Veaux does a fantastic (and pretty) job of parsing the world beyond monogamy. Click to enlarge.

That's the question about to come before a Canadian court — but one anthropologist claims the practice of men marrying multiple wives is bad not just for women, but for everybody.

Miscarriages: tragic in real life, overused on television as a way to avoid hot-button issues. And when it comes to her character on Big Love, Amanda Seyfried agrees.

"We are students of our blogs," says a co-creator, "and we know a lot of people feel that things moved too quickly this season." He adds, "We're at a breaking point. We've got to pare it down and refocus." [LAT]

Ironically, it took the finale for Big Love to moderate the wild, over-extended pace of this season. On deck: Results of the still-implausible election, the truth about J.J.'s "fertility miracles," and all three wives seriously questioning their marriage(s).

On last night's penultimate episode of the season, Adaleen discovered JJ's fertility secret, Barb implied that the women of Utah are depressed drug addicts, and Bill continued to prove that his logic on polygamy is flawed and sexist.

"A hapless man in his mid 20s....who lives in New York City" who, "throughout the series, constantly finds himself in increasingly awkward situations in both his work and personal life." Sounds like... almost all of HBO's bromance-y series lineup.
