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.

Melanie and Antonio. I thought they were in for the long haul.

DustBunnyFarmer · 01/07/2015 21:47

Melanie and Antonio

Who?

Bue · 01/07/2015 21:48

Leo DiCaprio is definitely not gay. He is completely addicted to models (literally surrounds himself with them) and doesn't date over the age of about 24. Which for an aging movie star is really quite grim.

I can't believe Kevin Spacey isn't out!! I just assumed that he always had been!

EachandEveryone · 01/07/2015 21:48

Total surrogate situation

Wasn't there an unpleasant revelation about Leonardo on a recent sleb gossip thread?

Jen1610 · 01/07/2015 22:01

Their faces have been like thunder, in all the pictures iv seen of them together in, for months now.

He's apparently a gambler and drinks too much and is pretty immature, disappearing for days at a times partying and gambling. If that's true. I don't blame her!

fancyanotherfez · 01/07/2015 22:19

I don't think Leo is gay, I just think he thought he could live like a gigolo for all his days and is now a middle aged saddo surrounded by bored looking 20 year olds looking for a break in showbiz

StormBraver · 01/07/2015 22:25

Entertaining as all this talk of bearding is, going back to comments made way upthread, are there really rumours that the Obamas might be splitting? Noooo! Sad

Pumpkinpositive · 01/07/2015 22:38

Has anyone mentioned the noble example of constancy set us by that bastion of sweet temper Christian Bale? Smile

He and Sibby (?) still going strong after 15 years.

DustBunny
Melanie Griffins and Antonio Banderas

DustBunnyFarmer · 01/07/2015 22:39

Thanks seven. That's going back some - I never would have guessed them...

stringbean · 01/07/2015 22:42

I recall a comment made by Gwyneth P after she split with B A years ago. She said his idea of a good time was a beer in one hand and a blonde in a bikini in the other. Nuff said......

Y0la · 01/07/2015 23:00

She said his ideal woman was "any kind of stripper from scores who'd give him a cold beer".

And j-lo said "if he couldn't get to a casino, he'd gamble at home".

It's a miracle this guy managed to play family man even briefly.

Y0la · 01/07/2015 23:11

Wentworth Miller only came out when he moved over to directing. I loved prison break. He is gorgeous. I guess it's less of a risk to come out when you're moving to the other side of the camera.

Zachary Quinto has played straight man roles (TV series Heroes and the most recent Star Trek movies).
John Barroman plays a straight man role in the TV series Arrow (Malcolm Merlyn).

VenusRising · 02/07/2015 01:22

You can always tell who's come to the end of the line from the hideous shoes.
JG has been wearing hideous shoes from about two weeks into the marriage.

I'm surprised BA has such and interesting inner life.... I mean who knew?
I guess his acting skills, and super mobile face come in handy for poker.
Ha!

Will jayZ and Bey be next for split? Solange thinks so!

I think John Travolta has more of a relationship with his weave than his beard.

I hope Amal has frozen her eggs if she ever wants to give motherhood a twirl.

Suppose it doesn't matter much who's gay and who's not - seems essential to be bi curious nowadays in showbiz (except for gwennie, who is decidedly uncurious about everything it seems, and vica versa) . Every actor/ model seems to be copping off with each other. Blush the dailyfail reports today Miley's thrown her knickers in to the bi-ring. All very yawnsville really.

Rupert Everett, and Jeremy Renner seem to do ok in films? Or do they play GayBestFriends?

Leo comes across as a time warped sleeze now. Arrested development is a terrible thing. I loved him as Romeo - all those years ago! He's gone a bit chairman Mao now. Blurgh.

MistressDeeCee · 02/07/2015 02:17

I think they fail for the same reason a big number of marriages fail nowadays - mainly, the perception of too much choice. Years ago it was hard to meet numerous people outside your vicinity - now the internet brings them into your front room so, some people never stop looking as there's always somebody else. Also, work is another thing that brings thoughts of other people into your marriage. 2 people in high flying, high powered careers involving many days apart + meeting different people...heady mix of temptation. Most people aren't saints and would find that hard to resist. Just the way of the world now I suppose

I don't think Jeremy Renner is gay...

SoupDragon · 02/07/2015 06:37

Who gives a shit whether actors A, B or C are gay? Isn't it their business and no one else's?

SirChenjin · 02/07/2015 06:59

Soup - totally agree. However, Pumpkin made a great point upthread - there is no gay major lead actor ( male or female) who plays straight roles. Seems either the audience or the studio - or both - just isn't quite ready for that, for whatever reason Sad

MokunMokun · 02/07/2015 07:18

You never heard the story about Jeremy Renner and the fight at a Thai gay bar?

Spog · 02/07/2015 07:45

Hahahaha - Leo does look like chairman Mao. hilarious.

and yes, Jeremy Renner is indeed gay.

debbriana · 02/07/2015 08:47

Has it got anything to do with PBS America? Just throwing it out there.
