I went from lukewarm to hot.
1) “This actor had a sweet gig that lasted longer than usual. Good pay, the ability to work with top names, lots of creative freedom, plus time to do other projects on the side. Overall, it was a sweet gig. So what did he do? He quit! A couple of flops later, though, and he’s panicking. He is now begging for his old job back. What a d*ck.” [Blind Gossip]
2) “Rumors abound concerning the marriage of a famous couple, yet there is a bewildering silence in the media.
Let’s call the pair Mr. and Mrs. VIP – I’m not even saying whether they are British. Recently, Mrs. VIP failed to turn up to an event that she might reasonably have been expected to attend. Strangely, the media scarcely mentioned the fact.
Meanwhile, the whispers say that Mr. and Mrs. VIP are no longer together and are using the excuse of busy lives as a cover. The theory is that they won’t announce the split for family reasons. Maybe, but a divorce would also mean the disentangling of considerable wealth and property interests…and a lot of secrets still bind this couple together.
There is already one privacy agreement with the media in place regarding a past incident, and the continuation of the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics might explain the reluctance of even the hardest-nosed British papers to expose the situation: so we have stalemate.
This suits Mr. and Mrs. VIP as they don’t want nosy parker journalists taking a close look at their life, or heaven forbid, some forensic biographer shining a flashlight into the dark corners of their union. The funny friends? The magic millions? Oh no! So expect a choreographed Hollywood-style loving couple appearance with cheesy smiles this summer.
And it’s not Charles and Camilla. The ‘$300 million divorce’ exists only in the fantasy land of US tabloids. No names, please, in the comments: TMR is read in some very high places.” [The Morton Report]
3) “Liz Jones, a British journalist who writes for the Daily Mail and has a weekly diary in Sunday’s You magazine, has given the biggest hint yet about the identity of a rock star who is cheating on his glamorous wife.
Liz, who is herself dating a mysterious, single rock star, informed readers of her diary that a female friend who is ‘well connected when it comes to famous people’, told her that ‘she has it on good authority that a famous rock star, with an uber-famous wife, is having an affair with his backing singer’.
Shocked, Liz (right) mused: “No! Why would he do that, when he is married to someone so rich, so famous, so beautiful, and the mother of his children?” The friend replied: “That’s what men do. They are incapable of saying no. They are threatened when a wife is too perfect, too famous, too powerful, on the cover of Vogue just once too often. They want you to be in awe of them.” [The Morton Report]
4) “This newly married Hollywood couple never settled their religious differences before walking down the aisle – and now it’s become a HUGE issue! The laid-back newlyweds didn’t give it too much thought, but his family is insisting that their future grandchildren must be raised Jewish! Who are they?” [National Enquirer]
