The star of An Education and another movie that was not so good is engaged to a musician.  I never heard of Marcus Mumford but obviously he is known to Carey.   source: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1668442/carey-mulligan-marcus-mumford-engagement.jhtml

Carey Mulligan is about to get “an education” in marriage.

According to Us, Mulligan is engaged (for real this time) to boyfriend Marcus Mumford. The Mumford & Sons frontman, 24, reportedly popped the question to Mulligan, 26. The pair first got together five months ago, when the “Drive” actress went to a secret Mumford & Sons show with her buddy Jake Gyllenhaal. (Mumford and Mulligan are also said to have been childhood pen pals through their church in London.)

Their supposed engagement was first reported on July 26, but Us claimed on Wednesday (August 3) that they got the latest scoop from an insider close to the couple. “They’re a great couple,” the source told the magazine, “very sweet.”

And the Grammy for best new artist goes to: Esperanza Spalding. Gotta get her music….Wow a sister wearing a natural wins the best new artist of the year. This is quite an omen and bodes well for my next endeavor.  I am so excited.  Hey, I’ve heard of her recall seeing her natural hair and listening to her music. Here’s her racial rundown just as I picked it and also from Wiki with her exact roots.  :



Spalding is of African-American, Welsh and Spanish descent,^[5] and describes this as a diverse ethnic heritage that includes “Welsh, Hispanic, and Native American roots in addition to the unidentified roots from Africa”.^[3] Her black roots come from her father: “My mom is Welsh, Hispanic, and Native American, and my father is African American.”^[6] Her Hispanic roots trace through her mother, a native of Southern California, who indirectly educated Spalding in Spanish by hiring a Cuban nanny.^[7] Spalding notes that these influences, along with many other factors in her life, have come together to shape her into who she is.^[7] She also has an interest in other cultures, including Brazil,^[8] and respects the artistry inherent in language, commenting specifically, “With Portuguese songs the phrasing of the melody is intrinsically linked with the language, and it’s beautiful”.^[9]
