EMcG?

greenday · 19/01/2009 14:33

Moulin Rouge - Ewan McGregor? But he is happily married ... isn't he? Or so they want others to think. Sigh!

"I had enough of the tabloids reporting NK's "first" baby. How on earth must her other two children have felt? "

I also think this is bad reporting. TC does always seem to make a point of saying 'with my first kid this was difficult, with my second, this was easier so with Suri... etc'

"my source is friend of mine who knows a lot of these people " knows them as in is friends with them, a real friend that they would confide in and discuss something that they have managed to cover up from the whole of the rest of the world?

mind you - I'm guessing if they knew this friend was passing on this information to randoms who then pass it on as fact on the internet then they might not still want to be friends?

beanieb · 19/01/2009 15:25

BalloonSlayer - great post.

I left a relationship, met a new guy and felt so certain about my future with him that we started trying for children really quickly. Why couldn't this have happened to Katie Holmes?

squeaver · 19/01/2009 15:31

MrMcG is, in fact, a notorious shagger. Girl I used to work with has certainly been there.

JustKeepSwimming · 19/01/2009 15:33

I would, that's for sure

snowleopard · 19/01/2009 15:36

I so agree about the reporting (and apparently NK herself) repeatedly saying she wanted a "baby of her own". I always think of her poor first two children when they see that. Aren't they her own?

jujumaman · 19/01/2009 15:44

TC is gay

He would like not to be gay and that is why he is a scientologist, as they educate it out of you.

The lavender marriages thing does sound ludicrous but there is no openly gay big Hollywood star. Being gay means end to big roles. Rupert Everett is v interesting (and bitter) on the subject - you come out and instantly you're not even considered for the big romantic leads. And to be fair, I saw Rupe in a film where someone had dared cast him as the romantic lead and my reaction was "But Rupert's gay" (though this is also be because he's not a v good actor as Sean Penn was utterly convincing playing a gay man in Milk and I didn't keep thinking "But you used to be married to Madonna".

He is also, according to vv well placed sources, extraordinarily professional and a joy to work with. Nicole OTOH is meant to be a nightmare.

am i the random beanieb?!

marmon · 19/01/2009 16:50

Its funny coz it seems o.k for women to be gay/bisexual in Hollywood. Look at Angelina Jolie she had an on/off girlfriend for years with a oriental girl called Jenni and has always been very open about her sexuality. Do you think its because men can fantasise about her with another woman but would not get off with thinking about 2 men? Its all fucked up people should just be what they are! But then again we would not have these wonderful threads where we speculate and gossip about them.

slug · 19/01/2009 17:05

Marmon, that is because most men cannot take any sex seriously that does not involve a penis. I agree with you that it's easier to be a lesbian. Lindsay Lohan, Portia De Rossi, Elen Degeneris etc.

Lotster · 20/01/2009 15:03

Lindsay Lohan is a lipstick lesbian if ever I saw one. Anything for attention.

JustKeepSwimming · 20/01/2009 15:13

Yeah, some of them are so obvious.

Seems v lucky timing for KH (or unlucky depending on your views on TC) to have caught his eye just when her career was stalling (or was it, will we ever know what she might have gone on to do?).
Or to have caught his eye just as she found out she was pg by a guy who couldn't care less?

Lotster · 20/01/2009 15:36

We're talking about a dude who as a Scientologist, believes that 75 million years ago an evil galactic ruler, named Xenu, solved overpopulation by bringing trillions of people to Earth in DC-8 space planes, stacking them around volcanoes and nuking them.

Then the souls of these dead space aliens were captured and boxed up and taken to cinemas where they were shown films of what life should be like, false ideas containing God, the devil and Christ and told to get ill.

Also that there is no such thing as mental illness, and homosexual's are "unsavable".

I think he might do just about anything to be frank!

Anyway what fun to speculate.

minko · 21/01/2009 17:51

Poor Katie, look at the state of her today... She looks so unhappy.

JustKeepSwimming · 21/01/2009 18:14

God she almost makes me want to cry she looks so sad

I really hope/wonder about the future. Will we see her come out of the '5-year plan' (or whatever) and dump scientology and leggit with a hunky young fun guy?
What about Suri though? will she have to sign her over???

Compare her in those pics to Dawsons Creek (admittedly maybe she was younger and didn't we all look better & more carefree then?!) here

sazzlelou · 21/01/2009 20:37

Her eyes look sad and unhappy!
What's Tom doing to her?!

Lotster · 22/01/2009 10:29

Seems a lavender marriage and a best-friendship with Posh aren't that good for your health. She does look sad.

Give me the simply life anyday!

Dilettante · 22/01/2009 12:17

Lotster, I have a theory about Hollywood $cientologists.

Basically I see them as the PR wing - I'm sure people like John Travolta and Tom Cruise don't believe that crap about Xenu, and I'm sure the money that the $cientologists get from the stars isn't important - why get a few millions from those guys when you can get countless more millions from the rank and file poor duped suckers who think "Hey if Tom Cruise is into this then there must be something in it".

TC comes across as a controlling, power hungry personality and I'm sure his position with $cientology provides plenty of power for him to suck up. I dunno about him being gay or not but I reckon his issue borders more on the egomaniacal, this fulfills his need to be important and to have "special knowledge".

JT (who it is alleged is widely known to be gay) got a career boost when he joined them (but he had to pretend to be straight). Did you ever see that clip of JT joking about the $cientology dance, he was kind of horsing around and taking the piss out of it.

Lotster · 22/01/2009 12:27

Interesting theory... Bit like pyramid selling! What do the stars get from it then, a "straight" cover?

TC is an egomaniac isn't he? That little leg-kick/air punch he does in every film is a dead giveaway

jetsetbaby · 22/01/2009 13:17

My ds was born at same time as nicole kidmans dd so every time I saw a pic of her whilst pg I would take interest, if she was really pg i`m kate moss imo!!! As for tom cruise being gay, never heard it before but it all makes so much sense.....

Lotster · 22/01/2009 13:28

I did wonder, because she made this whole fuss about how she ws going to pose for photographer Patrick Demarchelier in the nude, Demi style, then pulled out. Made me think it was a ruse...

But I saw this piccie which looks quite real, think she's just a twiglet!!

here

JustKeepSwimming · 22/01/2009 14:10

And what about this one

Think she just had the smallest bump ever!
And obv didn't tuck into the chocs like i did

Loriycs · 26/06/2010 01:06

she used a surrogate, like sarah jessica parker did. The difference though SJP was open about it, Nicole Kidman wore a bloody prosthetic bump!!
