“John and Emily were married on Saturday in a private ceremony,” Krasinski’s rep tells Us. Blunt wore a custom cream chiffon sweetheart draped Marchesa gown with embroidered detail.
“It was an outdoor ceremony and absolutely beautiful,” says an insider. George Clooney and Italian girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis were in attendance; Blunt and Krasinski had been staying at Clooney’s nearby Lake Como estate since the July 4th weekend.

John Krasinski as Captain America?
It could happen as Marvel conducts screen tests this week in its search for the actor to play Steve Rogers, the alter ego of the title character in its “Captain America” movie.
The company’s latest superhero movie is being directed by Joe Johnston (“Wolfman”) and tells the story of the young infirm man rejected from enlisting who becomes America’s symbol of liberty during World War II and eventually a member of Marvel’s superhero team the Avengers.

When the opportunity to star in the romantic-comedy It’s Complicated presented itself, John Krasinski was all over it. The fact that Director Nancy Meyers personally asked for Krasinski was an ego boost to begin with, but once he heard who the lead actors were, the deal was sealed.

NEW YORK — “He’s so cute,” says Steve Martin. “He’s so great,” says Meryl Streep.
Little do they realize that the cute and great John Krasinski is so close to stealing every scene he has in It’s Complicated, a comedy out Dec. 25 about a divorced couple having a torrid affair.
Krasinski, 30, best known as prankster Jim on TV’s The Office, found himself in heady company as Harley, Streep and Alec Baldwin’s future son-in-law. His character inadvertently spies the hot-to-trot ex-spouses smooching in a hotel elevator before they head upstairs for a quickie.
Harley’s all-too-human reactions — first disbelief, then mild hysteria, then nerve-racked guilt as he attempts to keep his unwanted knowledge a secret from his fiancée and her siblings — are pitch-perfect crowd-pleasers.
“Without John, there wouldn’t be half as much fun,” says filmmaker Nancy Meyers. “He speaks for the audience because we’re watching all this and going, ‘Oh, God. No way.’ He is one of us.”

John Krasinski may be best known for his role on TV’s The Office, but the appealing actor makes his cinematic directorial debut with an engaging adaptation of David Foster Wallace’s Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. The comedy-drama features Sara (Julianne Nicholson) as a graduate student interviewing various guys about their bad behavior as a way of coping with her breakup with Ryan (Krasinski). The actor-director chatted with Aroundphilly.com about his film and male/female relationships.
GK: What makes a man hideous?
JK: Wow! I think there are plenty of things. The big irony of the title is that none of the guys are hideous. These guys are insecure and vulnerable. They are protective of the things they fear. One of my favorite parts is how they are cordial/charming they are at beginning of interview—putting their best foot forward—and then they come to realizations and feel embarrassed and insecure, and their undoing happens. They can say pretty outrageous stuff, but it stems from insecurity. I play the only hideous character—he knows what he is doing is wrong and he continue to do it.
