    Congratulations to Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy, who secretly tied the knot! According to Extra, the couple married earlier this month in France.

    Life & Style says Claire and Hugh wed in a small ceremony attended by only the couple’s friends and family. Claire told BlackBook magazine for its September issue, "He's such a cutie patootie. While relationships are work, this just didn't feel like it. It's the kind of work that feels energizing rather than enervating. I find it very freeing to know that, okay, it takes constant nurturing and attention, but I can also stop looking for the one."

    Claire, 30, and Hugh, 34, met over two years ago on the set of Evening in Newport, R.I. The pair announced their engagement in February.

    Congrats to the happy couple!

    Orlando Bloom was kissing on Claire Danes' lovely neck during a dirty dancing session on Saturday night. The hookup happened on the dance floor at the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation party at the Althorp estate in Northamptonshire, England.

    Reports claim that Bloom made his move after dancing over to Danes during a performance by the Black Eyed Peas. "He was kissing her neck and grinding against her," reports a snitch to Page Six. "He didn't seem to care who saw it."
