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.

Jeremy's marriage lasted barely the length of the pregnancy

Renner is gay. I used to like him, but his macho bluster has reached ridiculous levels of misogyny and twattishness now.

There was a comment upthread that Affleck is gay. Erm, no. Just a cheating addict.

Matt Bomer is gay and out (and married with kids), and he's in one of the biggest films of the summer, Magic Mike XXL. He's played straight characters in big things, so there is hope yet. No idea if his character in that film is straight or gay tho.

Matthew McConnaghy, Sarah Jessica Parker.

That's Matthew Broderick you're thinking of.

Wealthy couples are less likely to be worrying about paying two mortgages, selling the family home, a SAHP having no income etc which unfortunately influences many couples who stay together (miserably) instead of divorcing.

Having plenty of money gives you plenty of choice.

What's the awful stuff about Leo?

werenotreallyhere · 02/07/2015 10:58

Going back a bit is someone saying BC is gay?

SuchSweetSorrow · 02/07/2015 11:17

Also interested in the awful stuff about Leo, Google isn't showing up anything for me

fancyanotherfez · 02/07/2015 11:25

Don't think there were any rumours BC is gay, just that he was sh@gging around, got someone pregnant by accident or design and decided to marry her. There are loads of far more outlandish rumours about the baby not being his and blackmail but they are so ridiculous that it is more likely they are fan fiction that some people believe than to actually be the truth.

werenotreallyhere · 02/07/2015 11:27

Ahhhhh! Thanks Fancy

fancyanotherfez · 02/07/2015 11:27

Yes I'd like to know the Leo stuff. Haven't heard anything. He was beautiful when we were both young (he's about my age!)

Call girls.
Hotel bedrooms.
He's running out of London hotels to stay in.

werenotreallyhere · 02/07/2015 11:28

I know years ago Leo was part of the Pussy Posse with (I think) Tobey Maguire, Google that, was wondering if there was up to date stuff

werenotreallyhere · 02/07/2015 11:30

What's he doing that getting him banned from hotels?

werenotreallyhere · 02/07/2015 11:30

Sorry, I'm really dense

FraggleHair · 02/07/2015 11:31

The internet also likes to say that Leo is in a long-term relationship with his best buddy Lukas Haas.

KayAdams · 02/07/2015 11:33

Trying not to get sued here....

He likes to rough them up.

werenotreallyhere · 02/07/2015 11:34

My internet is not as good as everyone else's, I'm just getting crap about him mistaking Spencer Matthews for a hotel worker

werenotreallyhere · 02/07/2015 11:35

Ahhhh, thanks Kay

A friend worked at a mega film company and her PR dept told her all the gossip.

juneau · 02/07/2015 11:44

There have been rumours about Ben Affleck's cheating, gambling and drug-taking for years.

And Tom Cruise and John Travolta as examples of long-standing marriages? Please! They're both gay FFS. Tom and Nicole had a ten-year 'deal' (and I know this via a friend who works in the entertainment industry). Suri was apparently conceived artificially and the marriage to Katie Holmes was not real. John Travolta and Kelly Preston also have an arrangement.

Sansarya · 02/07/2015 11:59

I know a couple of people who've seen Tom on dates with men, including a well-known (and out) Australian diver.

Sansarya · 02/07/2015 12:00

He was on a date with the diver that is, the diver isn't a personal friend!

nigelslaterfan · 02/07/2015 12:11

John Travolta was sued by a male massage therapist for asking for a happy finish wasn't he? And he was seen kissing a pilot pretty intimately once too.

Sansarya, I meant Matthew McConnaghy respectively with their spouses, dunno Mrs M's name.

Also can I just say, loads of people are ambidextrous sexually so why shouldn't some of these people be switch hitters? I mean why not. Some people are omnisexual. Or the sexuality is determined by the gender of who they love. (whom?)

Mary Portas, Oscar Wilde (well he had kids), Stephen Daldry is gay but married, I think loads of people particularly in the arts are free to gallop across fixed sexual expressions of the rest of us caught in social constraints. Why not?
