Dexter's Mr. and Mrs. Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter: Splitsville

With this past Sunday's Season 5 finale of Dexter still warm, the news came out yesterday that its two-year-married stars, Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter, are divorcing. I'm thinking that Showtime must have wished they'd announced this unexpected development before the finale -- a little scandal is always good for ratings.

These two talented thespians will no doubt go on to much future happiness personally and professionally, but it's always at the very least interesting when celebrities break up. Adding to the fascination factor here was the fact that they played brother and sister on Dexter, just a little lagniappe of strangeness for show fans who watched them play off each other so expertly over the past quintet of seasons.

For all the details, read this article from the Access Hollywood website.
