What is Daily Dumpling going to write about now?! According to just published reports, TMZ is reporting that Bai Ling spent her Independence Day getting married! Well, at least that what she said.
TMZ spotted the always wacked-out, self-described “crazy movie star” and chicken dancer outside Area last night, where she announced to the world, via paparazzi, that she got hitched in Sin City earlier that day. She may want to tell her reps now, since they told TMZ that no wedding occurred.
Her “husband” would only say his name was “anonymous”.
At least give DaDump the scoop on the Honeymoon photos/ videos before you ride off into the sunset, Bai!!!
