I've just read that they ARE divorcing. I was hoping it was all vicious rumour. They seemed like a genuine, real couple. Can nobody ever stay married in Hollywood? Hmm
It's coming to something when Warren Beatty, Warren Beatty , is an example of marital solidarity.

Ian McKellen is the only openly gay big movie star I can think of but Gandalf is not a romantic lead so Confused

She has a Middle Eastern background...but she's Lebanese/British as opposed to from e.g. Iraq, never out of Hello, she's stunning, she's a human rights lawyer, and she's married to one of their darlings. I reckon she would do OK over there. The conservatives tend to vote republican, don't they? I imagined him standing for the democrats Confused

He's A list surely? He's bloody everywhere.

Pumpkinpositive · 01/07/2015 20:50

So, is Baz Lurhmann straight?

Is this thread about to take an ominous turn?

Closeted straights being outed? Shock

Wasn't the lovely Patrick Swayze married to his childhood sweetheart until he died? Wonder if the same applies to Brit celeb couples? I think they have half a chance if they stay here and keep their heads largely down like Damion Lewis and Helen thingy and Martin Freeman and Amanda Abingdon ( would bet Benedict will be back on the market before too long though)

SirChenjin · 01/07/2015 20:59

Noooo - you reckon Benedict and Mrs Benedict will split up? Why??

williaminajetfighter · 01/07/2015 20:59

A friend really does know Ben and Jen. Says the split has been on the cards for years, mostly because they have absolutely nothing in common.

EachandEveryone · 01/07/2015 21:00

Really????

Pumpkinpositive · 01/07/2015 21:00

My spies at Google tell me Michael Vartan's wife filed for divorce last year.

What auspicious timing for Ms Garner. He's arguably prettier than Affleck, and probably not as much of a headcase (if not as rich). Smile

fancyanotherfez · 01/07/2015 21:04

sir sarcasm or do you really want to know?? Maybe I've been reading too much gossip but apparently he not happy. Only wanted a baby but he had some loony fans who are probably jealous and making up stories. Hope its wrong personally

Amal Clooney and Deb Furness are in a lesbian relationship. George and Hugh are their beards and are also in love with each other. George is going to make his Broadway musical theatre debut alongside Hugh in 'Me and My Guy'. Tickets available from Spog.

My impression of Cumberbatch (with zero evidence for it, I happily admit) is that if he were to get a sexual partner pregnant, whether by mistake or design, he would propose marriage.

SirChenjin · 01/07/2015 21:08

No, I really want to know Smile. I had no idea - really thought they seemed v happy and a great match

Spog · 01/07/2015 21:13

i'm ready with my tickets Grin

tinkytot · 01/07/2015 21:23

Simon and Lauren set off my beard-o-meter big time.

NoStannisNo · 01/07/2015 21:32

Who are Simon and Lauren?

whataboutbob · 01/07/2015 21:33

Barry Manilow entered into a civil partnership with a younger guy a couple of months ago. His fanbase must be in mourning (come to think of it that's female AND male fans alike).

Spog · 01/07/2015 21:34

simon and lauren - total beard situation

whataboutbob · 01/07/2015 21:35

Who are Simon and Lauren please?

GinUpGirl · 01/07/2015 21:35

Simon Cowell and lady friend I don't know the surname of.

whataboutbob · 01/07/2015 21:37

Oh yes, get it. I think he's auto sexual as in he loves himself.
