  • Joseph Gordon-Levitt Secretly Tied the Knot With Girlfriend Tasha McCauley, Rep Confirms

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt has secretly tied the knot with girlfriend Tasha McCauley.

    People magazine broke the news late New Year’s Eve that the Dark Knight Rises actor married McCauley on Dec. 20 in a private ceremony at home.

    A rep for the actor later confirmed the union to the Los Angeles Times.

    Although the 33-year-old confessed in 2013 that he was in a relationship, he has kept any details about her or their relationship on the down-low.

    “I have a girlfriend but I tend not to really like to talk about it in public,” he admitted during a September 2013 appearance on The Howard Stern Show. “She is not in show business.”

    McCauley is cofounder and chief executive of the Silicon Valley-based robotics company Fellow Robots, according to People.

    “The girl that I’m with, she really doesn’t want to be a part of it and you can imagine not wanting to have that kind of scrutiny,” he added, refusing to provide any more details of their relationship or her identity.

    The Inception star did, however, give a few insights into his thoughts on marriage during the Howard Stern interview.

    “I think that I could partner up with somebody — I don’t know who that somebody is — I could partner up with a woman and commit to we’re going to raise a family and that’s a project we’re going to commit to for 20-something years,” he said.

    The actor-director said he was capable of fidelity in the early years of a marriage, but conceded that things might change after the kids are grown.

    “I like to not be too committed to any one future that’s really far away, necessarily, unless there’s a reason, which is why I’m saying if you’re gonna raise a family … I can make that commitment.”

    We’ve already said that it’s only a matter of time before we’re just uploading knowledge into our noggins in order to learn everything from origami to piano so the next logical step in humanity’s quest to be “just like in the movies” would be a scourge of mind-thievery.

    In other words, cue the intense music because researchers at Yale think it’s only a matter of time before people are able to use lucid dreams to not just learn abilities but possibly invade the dreams of others.

    According to The Daily Mail, Yale researcher Robert Morgan thinks these regions of the brain can be accessed for improved social control and decision-making. “We know that by engaging circuits in the brain we can change its architecture,” Morgan says. The Daily Mail continues:

    Being in command of dreams opens up opportunities to manipulate them for learning and training – although it may not be quite as precise as learning to play the violin while asleep. Instead, ‘lucid dreamers’ can control areas of their brain to open up and ‘learn’ while they sleep. What’s more, it seems that merely being a lucid dreamer seems to give you an advantage.

    So as the subtitle above suggests, take a hint from Mr. Jack Donaghy:

    Because the next time you doze off on a plane you may wake up with a stirring hunger for some kung-fu robbery. Be careful, readers.
