Although they used the language of divorce, the duo added: "Our sincere hope is to have new music for you in 2013." With backgrounds in gospel and rock, the duo found unexpected success with their 2011 debut album, Barton Hollow. - AP

Jack McBrayer, the Emmy-nominated actor best known as Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock, says the mood is getting sad on set as the final days of filming near. "It's going to start getting emotional," he said, "and I'm going to start stealing stuff right and left." A star of the recently released movie Wreck-It Ralph, McBrayer said he's eager to see what roles the future might hold. "I know how good I got it right now, but then you do always wonder - what if I would be the best serial killer in the world or something? So I'm open for anything. Old boy just wants to work." - AP
