Anyone else feel rotten for Bradley Cooper’s partner?

[Tinkerbell456]

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.

The Oscars performance was just acting as far as I could see. Got them more publicity too so why not play it up?!

Lots of bearding at this year’s Oscars...

Tell us more, Shoe...

You should read Blind Gossip, it loves a bearding story.

I must live an uncomplicated life where generally folks just love who they love.

Lucky you. I’m sure lots of people would like to live that way but can’t for various reasons.

I think they are both playing beards. I think BC and LG become close over filming and she is on the secret.

If you look at BC and how he promotes his films, he always does the same look at Jennifer Lawrence. He always over plays the connection. Why would he need to do that?

Irina is a model so has almost certainly had sexy photo shoots where she's faked chemistry with other men or women. She's a serial beard anyway so BC getting publicity makes her (and her price for being a beard) even higher in future as she's proving a supportive and discreet partner.

What is a beard in this context please?

Ok cool...got the definition.
Lots of out gays are very commercially succesful...Elton, Ellen, Freddy Mercury etc. If he is gay its sad that he cant be open about it.

It's show business for a reason.
I don't feel sorry for them. It's probably all planned out.

I’m if not duped sure some women are happy with being a “beard”. Not everyone wants to be shagging constantly. If affection and friendship is there, perhaps it’s enough. 🤷‍♀️

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

@Absofuckinglutely why should it matter if she is beautiful and rich. If her partner is a shit (not saying he is, who the bloody hell would know) then I feel sorry for her.

But it's people like you who maintain the gossips!

All public personalities are being accused of being intimate if they just look at each other. Even Kate Middleton and Harry were too close for some people because the 3 of them were laughing together. I am not a fan at all, but really?

Give it a rest, it's not like they made out on stage.

I think it was Alfred Hitchcock who said that he'd never seen an on-screen romance that didn't carry on in the trailer afterwards...

(Unless it was Rock Hudson and Krystle in Dynasty...)

who really cares in this day and age if an actor has a partner of the opposite sex to cover their sexuality ?? noone else for sure.
as a matter of interest does anyone knowingly act as a 'beard' [stupid expression for a start] for their partner ? i expect there is when truth be known.

*anyone on mn

@showmethegin.Totally agree. If wealth and looks were the key to happiness, we’d all want to be Melanie’s Trump surely.

Any 30 Rock fans? I’m just thinking of James Franco and his Japanese pillow...

Curse auto correct! Meant Melania Trump!

raining for instance China and Russia do care about homosexuality. I think it's illegal in both countries but both have a huge market which Hollywood doesn't want to miss out.

Joey Tribbiani had a nugget of wisdom: if the leading couple have chemistry = not shagging, no chemistry = definitely shagging

wet you have a good point there, but in the real world of every day people i suspect it's not a rare thing.
tinker you'd want to be melania trump WHY ???

Never heard of them. I feel bad/sorry for people I know not people I have never met. Why are people so invested in the lifes of celebs?

Hell no😱. My point is that she is obviously good looking and eye wateringly wealthy. Happy? Seriously doubt that she is. She rarely seems to be.

badly some people became over invested in celebs lives and become convinced they actually know them in real life, which is not surprising as so much is on social media and magazines.
