The Talk: Will Country Music Ever Be Ready For A Gay Artist?

In the wake of country star Ty Herndon's coming out, the ladies of The Talk discuss whether the country music industry will EVER welcome an openly gay artist...?

THE TALK's Sara Gilbert marries long-time girlfriend Linda Perry

In a ceremony overlooking the ocean, THE TALK host Sara Gilbert married her long-time girl friend Linda Perry yesterday.

The ceremony capped a year-long engagement that began with a park, a guitar player and a brass band.

Gilbert told E! Online:

"We go to a park, and we have food and we're eating it, it's really sweet and there's this guy sitting playing guitar, like a street musician, and he starts playing this song that we love," Gilbert recalled.

"I'm like, 'Oh, that's so weird, this is so magical and amazing.'"

She continued, "So that ends, and she's like, 'Oh, I'm gonna ask him to play this other song,' but this other song is really obscure and this guy wouldn't know it, but magically he knows it."

The next thing the Talk star knew, she said, their fellow picnickers pulled out instruments and joined the guitarist to serenade the couple with "Love Song." At which point, Perry put on a series of T-shirts that each had one word, eventually forming the question "Will You Marry Me?"

Congrats to the happy couple!
