Mar 14 2006Jack Black elopes with Tanya Haden
People magazine reports that Jack Black has eloped with Tanya Haden, providing absolutely no other information about the marriage except that Tanya's dad said, "They love each other very much. We're thrilled."
It's kind of amazing that Jack Black is capable of dating an actual woman, let alone convincing her to marry him. He's funny and all, but I imagine living with him to be like living with a hyperactive monkey. When he's not making weird faces or running around in his underwear, he's probably taking a crap on your laundry.

Was 'bad acting' that killed the beauty...

I always thought that Jack Black was married to Laura Kightlinger and I'm never wrong so that makes Jack Black a polygamist - and polygamy is wrong.

i'd hit that
after i'd hit k-fed with his man boobs....yeah. exactly.

He's hilarious, and she looks great, so KUDOS to them both.

What's so bad about marrying a "hyperactive monkey?" I married my husband. So far, he hasn't crapped in the laundry, but give it time.

exactly, #6! i'm dating a hyperactive monkey, and so far he has yet to do anything with his poop other than fling it from time to time.

To be fair, a man like Jack Black's gotta lock that down when he gets it.
Now look at Jack's hair in this photo:

This is the first Hollywood couple I could asking see lasting.
10. Grphdesi23 - March 14, 2006 7:01 PM
whoops, I meant *actually.
11. Doc - March 14, 2006 7:03 PM
I think the author is thinking of Jack Black's character in "Orange County"... Im sure he's not that way in real life... although, that would make for a pretty nice reality show...

Wow, I had no idea she was dating Jack Black.
It looks like she's just hot, but actually she is totally awesome, too. She was in one of my favorite bands, Silversun Pickups. He's one lucky dude.

Jack'll be fine as long as keeps smokin' weed and doesn't become a "serious" actor douchebag.
I'm looking at you Kilmer.

"t's kind of amazing that Jack Black is capable of dating an actual woman, let alone convincing her to marry him."
Are you fucking kidding me?
15. Dee - March 14, 2006 7:32 PM
better her than me

Jack Black was on Howard Stern talking about her. He somewhat eluded to this being a permanent thing. She is far from looking like Gwyneth Paltrow's character in "Shallow Hal."
17. Foxbase Alpha - March 14, 2006 7:57 PM
Jack, all the best and "Fuck Her Gently".
18. a concerned fan - March 14, 2006 7:58 PM
He's rockin' the old school stache. That's why she wants his junk.
19. Foxbase Alpha - March 14, 2006 7:58 PM
What! I thought he was married to Kyle Glass.
20. Tania - March 14, 2006 8:13 PM
Wow she is really beautiful.
With all that crazy energy he has I bet he's good in the sack.
21. lionface - March 14, 2006 8:23 PM
by the way- shes pregnant.
22. The Serial Cynic - March 14, 2006 8:31 PM
Jack made a serious upgrade with this model. I think he dated Laura Kightliner for like 10 years. He got this chick for 10 minutes and eloped. Smart move.
23. Merebear - March 14, 2006 11:16 PM
I'm pretty sure he was married to Laura and got divorced. Not that I care, but Laura was about a foot taller than him and 60 pounds thinner. I don't know why he felt HE deserved an upgrade.
24. WackyJacki - March 14, 2006 11:39 PM
Who the hell is she?
25. boobtube - March 15, 2006 12:09 AM
JACK HAS PLANTED HIS SEED - good for him, even though i hate him, at least it goes to prove that men with amful amounts of body hair can get women
26. Becky - March 15, 2006 3:21 AM
Wow, she's come a long way from ice skating and smashing Nancy Kerrigan in the knee...
I SWEAR, when I first read this my mind translated it to "Tonya Harding." Maybe I miss her?
Now that I think of it, I DO! I do miss her! Wonder where she is?
*sniffle*
*flips on WWF*
27. xAgonyxScenex - March 15, 2006 3:37 AM
the kind of women fame will get you. sad realoly.
28. neophyte - March 15, 2006 5:18 AM
The porn star mustache worked for Burt Reynolds. Now Jack Black. Seriously, if Adrien Brody were smart, he'd grow one to get Angelina Jolie in the sack. The stache = magic.
29. txb - March 15, 2006 8:53 AM
when did he and Laura Kightlinger end it? they were legally married in my state. and who is this chick? i didn't learn anything about her on a google search except that she married jack black and was in a movie in 2001 that didn't list her part.
30. Jenny - March 15, 2006 9:55 AM
She's pregnant.
31. frangly - March 15, 2006 12:15 PM
#26, ME TOO! I SO thought that said Tanya Harding. Now THAT woulda been some juicy news. Rats.
32. Laurie - March 15, 2006 12:53 PM
They had gone to the same high school and had been friends, but Black had never asked her out then. Call me a sap, but I think that's sweet.
Plus if it means that Jack Black will start coming to Decemberists shows (his sister-in law is in the band) so much the better.
33. lysistrata11 - March 15, 2006 1:23 PM
Aww I think it's nice. He's marrying a non-famous person and she's marrying an unattractive guy she was friends with. That's really sweet.
34. Spindoc - March 15, 2006 1:49 PM
So basically she didn't think he was worth dating til he had some fame in the bank. Sounds like a sweet girl.
35. blue.venus - March 15, 2006 3:06 PM
I know Tanya. She is the sweetest girl you'll ever meet. There is not a pretensious, self-serving, or mean bone in her entire body! (for the jealous idiots who make mean assumptions!) I think that's why Jack fell in love with her. She's genuine.
Besides, she may not be on the commercial status level as Jack, YET, but all of us in LA know she is extremely talented, albeit a little shy. Her music and artwork already had a following long before she got serious with Jack. All of her friends wish her all the best. She's someone who truly deserves happiness in her life, and now that she may have found some, everyone can't wait to see and hear what new creative flow might come out of her. She's got it.
36. Spindoc - March 15, 2006 3:28 PM
Call me a jealous idiot who makes mean assumptions then, but the fact remains that she didn't think his ass was worth dating in high school, now she does...is he better looking than he was in high-school, or has something else about him changed? Oh yeah, thats right, he's rich and famous. Go Tanya, nothing says a star fucker can't be a sweethart. ;)
37. blue.venus - March 15, 2006 4:26 PM
Dude....even Jack says he never asked her out in highschool. He wanted to, but didn't. It's in print.
So how the hell would you know whether she would of went out with him or not?
Uh..duh...women aren't mind readers.
You're still an IDIOT. LOL
Thank God she has more of a life than to read this crap, and come to think of it....so do I.
Later Loser.
38. staticbumblebee - March 15, 2006 5:19 PM
She was in Shallow Hal.. one of his friends, or something.. she gives him advice in a scene.
39. Spindoc - March 15, 2006 5:23 PM
Hmm, I'm an idiot and a loser because I don't take your word for it that your friend is really neato peachy keen. LEts see, my choice is between you thinking I'm a loser or me listening to you and agreeing with you....gosh, it's a toughie but I guess I'm going to have to change my business cards to read Mr. Loser! Oh yeah, by the way, ask your friend if getting a good table at the IVY is worth having Jack Black sweating and heaving on top of her.
40. funkylo - March 15, 2006 5:42 PM
aren't they then having a baby monkey too?
41. lysistrata11 - March 15, 2006 11:44 PM
#39-Thanks for the fabulous mental image of Jack Black sweating and heaving on top of ANYBODY. Ugh. Here's an even better one for you: Think of the face he would make at the end. Blech.
42. B-Bomb - March 15, 2006 11:51 PM
will the baby be born with a molester 'stache, or does that grow in around the little monkey's first birthday?
43. poker - October 25, 2007 3:48 AM
i bet he is a great guy!
