NEW YORK - Danica McKellar has a message for girls: Cute and smart is better than cute and dumb.

Ms. McKellar, who played Winnie on the 1990s television show “The Wonder Years,” is coming out with a book, “Math Doesn’t Suck,” to encourage girls to get into math.

“When girls see the antics of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, they think that being fun and glamorous also means being dumb and irresponsible,” the 32-year-old Ms. McKellar told Newsweek for editions to hit newsstands today.

“But I want to show them that being smart is cool,” she said. “Being good at math is cool. And not only that, it can help them get what they want out of life.”

SAN DIEGO - Nicolas Cage loves comic books so much, he created one of his own.

The actor and his 16-year-old son, Weston, took their new comic book, “Voodoo Child,” to the pop culture expo Comic-Con on Sunday.

Steve Martin gets married

LOS ANGELES - Steve Martin married girlfriend Anne Stringfield during a ceremony at his Los Angeles home, his publicist said.

Former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey, a friend of Mr. Martin’s, presided over Saturday’s ceremony, Alan Nierob said. Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels was Mr. Martin’s best man, he said.

Most of the roughly 75 guests - who included Tom Hanks, Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy, Carl Reiner and Ricky Jay - were not told that he and Ms. Stringfield would wed when they were invited to his home for a “party,” Mr. Nierob said. The ensuing nuptials were a surprise to them, he said.

Mr. Martin, 61, was previously married to actress Victoria Tennant, whom he divorced in 1994 after about 8 years together.
