  • Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig in 2004 at a private screening of "Enduring Love." Now they're married. (See "Yo, Daniel, what about Satsuki?")

The gay marriage debate is settled, once and for all, America! Brad Pitt, 47, has spoken.

"It is each American's constitutional right to marry the person they love, no matter what state they inhabit," Pitt tells People after the recent legalization of same-sex marriage in New York state.

Yo, Daniel, what about Satsuki?

Christopher Mitchell, for one, is heartbroken by the shocking news that Daniel Craig, 43, and Rachel Weisz, 41, have tied the ultimate knot in an ultimately covert, super-secret ceremony.

Mitchell is the father of Satsuki, 32, a producer who was supposed to become Mrs. Daniel Craig.

"His sudden marriage came out of nowhere," Mitchell tells London's Daily Mail. Satsuki was dumped last November and has "only just reached a happy place," her dad says. She's still wounded: She "doesn't mention [Craig's] name now and tells me off if I do."

Weisz also leaves a former fiance in her wake: Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky, whom she left over Christmas.
