On the ticker on BBC News 24.

Thought there might be a thread, there wasn't so here's one ... although not sure why I am bothering really as my main feeling is .

Just strikes me as odd that it's on the "breaking news" ticker really!

BoysAreLikeDogs · 15/03/2010 17:53

some of us knew that aaages ago

thighsmadeofcheddar · 15/03/2010 17:54

I used to really like Kate until she went all Hollywood. I also don't like how she always tries to normalise herself, I'm just a mum etc etc. But still, sucks for them.

BariatricObama · 15/03/2010 17:55

omg no, i can't bear it. poor poor kate, poor sam. sigh

next!

I hate celebrity break-ups - takes up a ridiculous amount of emotional head-space!

Should be but am in fact

Oh god everything is on a breaking news ticker these days, Cory Haim, Tiger Woods, Cheryl Cole

She did the charming thing of divorcing her first husband because his career wasn't taking off as well as hers, didn't she?

DarrellRivers · 15/03/2010 18:03

She has no further need of SM

Bet she goes for Leonardo Dicaprio next!

choosyfloosy · 15/03/2010 18:20

Urrgh they were so wrong together, Leo and she. Differently sized heads.

Tenner says Kathryn Bigelow.

thesteelfairy2 · 15/03/2010 18:25

Bet she has someone else on the go she always strikes me as the type that wouldn't leave till she had another one to go to.

lottiejenkins · 15/03/2010 18:36

Didnt i read on a thread somewhere on here last year that she was a "beard"???

dexter73 · 15/03/2010 18:37

James Cameron had a lucky escape!

needanamefast · 15/03/2010 18:40

beard???

needanamefast · 15/03/2010 18:40

beard?

DarrellRivers · 15/03/2010 18:41

Yes, I could see that
She has had some pretty great career benefits as part of the partnership

thesteelfairy2 · 15/03/2010 18:42

A Beard is a person of the opposite sex with whom one enters a public relationship to prove they are not gay.

Am I correct?

BalloonSlayer · 15/03/2010 18:43

Kathryn Bigelow is 57!

(Just thought I'd chuck that one in. She looks v good )

FabIsDoingPrettyWell · 15/03/2010 18:51

I am not surprised tbh.

She got pregnant so quickly after meeting and then they married. He hadn't been the marrying type by some accounts.

I am sorry for the kids, especially Mia.

mathanxiety · 15/03/2010 18:53

TSF2 you are correct in your definition.

lottiejenkins · 15/03/2010 18:54

The steel fairy.......... Yes!!

FabIsDoingPrettyWell · 15/03/2010 18:58

So are you saying Kate is gay?

lottiejenkins · 15/03/2010 18:58

my beard remark was first mentioned here!

lottiejenkins · 15/03/2010 18:58

No the comment in the thread was geared towards him i think!!
