RIALTO CHATTER: 'SPEED' Star Moss Engaged to SNL's Armisen

Mad Men and SPEED-THE-PLOW star Elizabeth Moss and Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen have recently gotten engaged.

Mad Men star Moss accepted Armisen's proposal last week. She told USAWeekend.com this past weekend that, "I don't want to share the details of how it happened, but I will say it was perfect."  To read the entire interview go here.

The two talented stars have been very low key regarding the romance, but Armisen has been seen at 'SPEED' quite frequently and as a matter of fact shared the 'BWW TV' screen with Moss for our 'Night Before Christmas' video, which you can watch by clicking here! We wish the happy couple all the very best.
