Jessica Chastain sprung a marriage on the gossip world this past weekend, and kudos to her for the element of surprise. She’s been dating her now-husband, Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, for a while now — so that part of it isn’t a shock; it’s not like they eloped in a lusty tizzy — and marrying into his family would have made her a countess, if Italy still recognized such titles. If I were her, I’d still change my business cards. Who’s going to challenge her on that? Not I.
