Wilde, Sudeikis engaged to marry

From Wire Reports

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are getting married.

A spokeswoman for Wilde confirmed Saturday that the couple is engaged, but released no other details.

This will be the second wedding for both actors. Wilde finalized her divorce from documentarian Tao Ruspoli in 2011 after eight years of marriage. Sudeikis was previously married to “Pitch Perfect” screenwriter Kay Canno n. They divorced in 2010.

Wilde, 28, rose to fame on TV’s “House M.D.” Her film credits include “Tron: Legacy” and “Cowboys & Aliens.” Sudeikis, 37, is a star of “Saturday Night Live.” He hosted the MTV Movie Awards in 2011 and appeared in the film “Horrible Bosses” that same year.

Report shows Travis was drunk

Blood alcohol results show country star Randy Travis was legally drunk when he was arrested naked following a Texas traffic accident.

Grayson County District Attorney Joe Brown says Travis was formally charged Wednesday with driving while intoxicated with a blood alcohol level greater than 0.15. The legal limit for driving is 0.08. The Class A misdemeanor is punishable by up to two years in jail and a $4,000 fine.

Travis was arrested for DWI and freed on bond following the Aug. 7 single-vehicle accident near Tioga, about 60 miles north of Dallas. Brown says negotiations continue to resolve the case. Travis still faces a retaliation charge for allegedly threatening officers.

Defense attorney Larry Friedman says Travis has a great deal of respect for law enforcement and has stopped drinking alcohol.
