Well I had no idea they were even engaged, Zooey never mentioned a thing! In an attempt to create the hippest family in the world, Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard and actress/She&Him singer Zooey Deschanel confirmed their engagement to MTV News today.
What’s odd about this is that just the other day, rumors were swirling that Zooey was engaged to Hunter Burgan, the bass player to AFI. Maybe she changed her mind at the last second after realizing that Death Cab is WAY hipper than AFI. Good move Zooey, well played. Zooey has definitely tried out the Hip Guy Buffet, dating Jason Schwartzman for a while, and the Not-So-Hip-Guy-Buffet dating Mickey Madden from Maroon Five.
