The star of The Hangover told the story of how he quit drinking at an appearance on Conan on Wednesday. Galifianakis said that he was crossing the street after a night of some heavy whiskey drinking when he had a lapse in judgement and clocked the hood of a Jaguar.

Unfortunately for Zach, the men inside the car were “two 6-foot-6 guys — 12-by-12.” They were angry enough to exit the car and confront the actor and comedian, spitting in his face.

“I don’t know if you’ve ever been spit in your face, non-sexually…” Galifianakis joked to Conan.

There could be other factors behind Zach Galifianakis’ decision to quit drinking. Last August the actor settled down, marrying girlfriend Quinn Lundberg.

The two wed in a quiet ceremony that included some famous guests, including The Hangover co-stars Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms.

Galifianakis had been quietly Lundberg for at least two years before the wedding. The couple remained underneath the radar, getting engaged in June 2012 with little fanfare. While Galifianakis is a boisterous character in his movies, he’s said to live a simpler life away from the big screen, spending much time in his home state of North Carolina.

Zach Galifianakis also quits drinking just as the finale to his movie trilogy about heavy drinking is about to be released. The Hangover 3, the final part of a saga about a group of hard-drinking and forgetful friends, is set for release May 24.

This installation of the series looks to follow the same theme of the first two, with the group of friends getting into drunken hijinks, this time back in Las Vegas. Only a few superficial details appear to set this apart from the first two.

The promotional material for The Hangover 3 promises:

“This time, there’s no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.”

As the movie trilogy comes to an end, it seems a fitting time that Zach Galifianakis quits drinking.

Blue Ivy Carter is one lucky girl, because she gets to hear her mom, Beyoncé, sing to her all the time.  But Bey has revealed that when she serenades baby Blue, she doesn’t exactly sound like she does when she’s belting out “Crazy in Love.”

Appearing on the British TV show “Daybreak,” Beyoncé said that she uses what she calls a “mommy voice” when she sings to her daughter.

“I keep my Beyoncé voice for the stage and I have my simple mommy voice,” she said.  “I remember hearing a story about Céline Dion and she’s like, ‘When I sing, my’ – I don’t know if it was her son that cried – and I’m like, ‘That is so interesting. She has the most beautiful voice in the world, and she’s like, “He hates it!”‘

“So I said, ‘Well, maybe I’ll just, like, give a little, simple nursery rhyme voice to my daughter,’” Beyoncé said.

During the same interview, Beyoncé said her public persona wasn’t the same as her private one.

“People take me a lot more seriously than I do,” she said. “Definitely, I’m a goofball.”

Police say that Furlong was arrested on Thursday in West Hollywood, California for violating the terms of his probation. They added that the 35-year-old actor was charged with a felony for violating the restraining order.

There have apparently been multiple reported instances of domestic abuse by Furlong. He is currently behind bars on a $ 100,000 bail. His court date is expected to be Monday.

The latest restraining order was the result of a January domestic violence charge — his third in the span of three months. In January, he was sentenced to six months in jail, though it appears he was released early. The early release goes against Superior Court Judge Dennis Mulcahy’s recommendation not to release the actor early or to give him credit for time served.

Eddie Furlong’s domestic violence problems appeared in the court system in November 2010, when he was placed on three years’ probation for violating a restraining order against him by his then-wife, Rachael Kneeland. He was then arrested in October 2012 for allegedly assaulting his then-girlfriend, Monica Keena, while the pair were at the Los Angeles International Airport.

As a result of his arrest, Eddie Furlong was fired by producers of the romantic comedy he was filming, Other Plans. His arrests in January and March were related to the restraining order filed by Keena. It appears the latest arrest also deals with the Keena restraining order.

Cops allegedly discovered Furlong hiding under a stairwell near his ex’s home in West Hollywood after they responded to her 911 call alerting them to his presence in her home. It is likely that Eddie Furlong won’t be let off as easily this time.
