Names and faces

— Actor Jim Nabors said marrying his longtime domestic partner doesn’t change anything about their relationship - he just wanted it to be formally acknowledged. The 82-year-old actor best known as Gomer Pyle in The Andy Griffith Show said Wednesday that he just wanted the marriage to be legal. Nabors married 64-year-old Stan Cadwallader in Seattle on Jan. 15. Nabors said they have been together for 38 years. Nabors said they flew fromtheir home in Honolulu to Washington, where same-sex marriage became legal last month, for the short ceremony. They were married in a hotel room by a judge friend who drove from Olympia, Wash. The couple met in 1975 when Cadwallader was a Honolulu firefighter. “I’m 82 and he’s in his 60s and so we’ve been together for 38 years, and I’m not ashamed of people knowing, it’s just that it was such a personal thing, I didn’t tell anybody,” Nabors said. “I’m very happy that I’ve had a partner of 38 years, and I feel very blessed. And, what can I tell you, I’m just very happy.” News of Nabors’ marriage was first reported by Hawaii News Now.

Lindsay Lohan appeared briefly in a Los Angelescourtroom Wednesday for the first time in nearly a year. Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner shook her head when she saw Lohan seated with her attorney, just months after the judge had warned the Liz and Dick star to grow up and stay out of trouble. The actress was required to attend the pretrial hearing involving three misdemeanor counts filed after a car crash last summer. Lohan has pleaded innocent to lying to police, reckless driving and obstructing officers from performing their duties. Sautner previously sent her to jail, placed her under house arrest and forced her to perform morgue cleanup duty in another case. Sautner warned Lohan on Wednesday that she could face jail time for a possible probation violation, even if she is acquitted of the counts filed after her sports car crashed into a dump truck. Lohan was on probation at the time of the wreck and could be sentenced to 245 days in jail if a judge determines that her actions in the crash were a violation of her sentence in a theft case. Sautner, however, won’t be handling Lohan’s forthcoming case. The judge said she is retiring before the March 1 court hearing.
