As previously reported, Collen will sit in with Jimmy Fallon's house band THE ROOTS for the entire show on this coming Friday night's (November 12) edition of NBC-TV's "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon". The program will air at 12:35 a.m. ET (technically early Saturday morning, November 13).
Collen and his new wife, costume designer Helen L. Simmons, got their first tattoos for the October 13 episode of "L.A. Ink", which features 28-year-old tattoo artist Kat Von D (born Katherine Von Drachenberg).
When asked by UsMagazine.com why he'd never gotten a tattoo before, Phil said, "I've never really conformed to the stereotype; I've always done things a little differently. I've never felt the urge to do that, and it's really not a mid-life crisis. For me, the not drinking, being a vegetarian, all that stuff that sort of goes against the grain a bit, but it's not done on purpose. I always appreciated tattoos, but it just seemed like a really real thing to do. I met someone who I was madly in love with and we wanted to do it, and it was actually really cool. We are thrilled about it and even this morning we go, 'oh we love our tattoos!"
Collen and Simmons got married on July 16 on the beach at Florida's Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach resort in sunset ceremony.
"We've been looking for each other our entire lifetime," Collen told People.com. "To say we're ecstatic this day has finally come is putting it mildly. It could only be us for each other."
