Anyone else feel rotten for Bradley Cooper’s partner?

Just that really. The cameras stopped rolling on A Star is Born a while ago. Time to knock it off with the ‘chemistry’with Gaga I think.

He's an actor, I'm sure she understands that.

If the attraction was kept to the movie, fine. To play convincing lovers there has to be a bit of chemistry. My point is that the movie finished being made sometime ago.

Feel sorry for a beautiful, rich supermodel who is the mother of Bradley Cooper's child??? Hmm, let me think for a moment.

No!

But it’s still in the public consciousness. For what it’s worth I think the obsession with their chemistry is nonsense. In the oscars performance as they finish singing he opens his eyes and looks immediately in the direction she was sitting before he seemed to remember gaga was there.

Given how widely she’s alleged to be a serial beard, I’m sure she’s used to all the speculation so just sits back and thinks of all the lovely money.

Gaga? Really? The plot thickens!

Didn't we have this exact thread the day after the ocscars? They're actors, playing on their "chemistry" for publicity. People are incredibly gullible

What is a serial beard?

Gaga has already said it was put on because that is what people wanted to see (paraphrasing).

I can't bring myself to feel sorry for his wife at all. I am sure she is absolutely fine.

A beard is a partner recruited to hide a sexuality that would be commercially less valuable than heterosexual.

Tinkerbell, I think Showbiz was referring to Jennifer Esposito as being an alleged 'serial beard', not Lady Gaga.

You’re right Aqua. It is a trivial topic. Feel free to excuse yourself from the conversation.

Shoebiz, not Showbiz, sorry. You were, weren't you?

Celebelly · 15/03/2019 08:10

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito split up years ago! His current wife is Irina Shayk.

LostInShoebiz · 15/03/2019 08:11

No, not referring to Jenifer Esposito in the least.

brookshelley · 15/03/2019 08:11

The rumor is Irina Shayk is a professional beard. Her previous boyfriend is Christiano Ronaldo.

LostInShoebiz · 15/03/2019 08:12

...who definitely seems to beard.

Re. Gaga as serial beard. Now I think of it I believe there have been rumours re. BC’s sexuality. Heard that about Jennifer Esposito too, Elizabeth Mainwaring.

Mammylamb it's like a Merkin that goes on your Coco Pops.

PineapplePower · 15/03/2019 08:14

She’s got a sweet bearding contract, so no.

LostInShoebiz · 15/03/2019 08:16

So sad that people have to do that in this day and age. I suspect with the attitudes of the emerging markets it will continue for a generation at least.

ElizabethMainwaring · 15/03/2019 08:17

Wow! Shayk went out with Ronaldo. I think that's case closed then.

megrichardson · 15/03/2019 08:19

Haven't watched the film, barely know who they are, don't care.

But I am fascinated with that phrase 'serial beard'. I love it!

ElizabethMainwaring · 15/03/2019 08:21

It originates from the golden age of Hollywood. It's been going of for years.
