Celebrity Madness

For those who care (which is probably about six people in the entire universe - I can't even say I do beyond the fact that there's just something wrong with the phrase, "The happy couple and their lawyers..."), the couch-jumping scientologist and his baby-mama have reached a pre-nup agreement. Essentially, Katie just needs to stay married to the couch jumper for 11 years, then she can take him to the cleaners. Isn't 11 years 1 more year than Nicole lasted? Anyone want to take bets on whether or not couch-jumper dumps her after 10 so that the community propery laws don't apply? Maybe that's the real reason he dumped Kidman. (Though I can't recall if he did the dumping or if she did - I think I recall that it was him. But again...who really cares? He's such a train wreck there's no redeeming value there.)

And now, apparently, Britney Spears is using the services of a "Christian Life Coach" in an attempt to either save her marriage or find the strength within herself to dump her hubby. That little train-wreck-waiting-to-happen aside (seriously, he married you in a sweatsuit that had Pimp Daddy on the back, what exactly were you expecting if not to be treated like his Ho?) Can someone tell me what the heck a "Christian Life Coach" is? It sounds like it might actually have potential...but then again, it might also just be, well, weird. Given that this is Hollywood related, I'm guessing the latter is more likely.

Beyond that, Keanu Reeves wants to be married. Anyone else a tad surprised that he's actually having trouble finding someone? Seriously, if the couch-jumping lunatic can land someone, surely Keanu should be able to. And is anyone else (well, other than himself, clearly) marginally depressed that he just turned 40? How many years ago was Point Break? No, don't do the math, it'll just make me feel old too.

  1. What's weird is that I could swear that I remember reading a few years ago that Keanu got married. So what happened with that, I wonder?

    Anyone else remember that?

  2. I like Keanu, but wouldn't marry him (don't know if he was, is, or will be). But celebrity marriages are made for tabloids - I wouldn't be surprised if their agents recommend they do something wacky just to get publicity. The worse publicity is none at all so even crazy marriages, adoptions, names of children (remember Moon Zappa?) all gather notice which feeds celebrities needs for attention. But then, we're blogging - isn't that, at root, the same yearning? :-) lgp

  3. Near as I can find, Jen, he was engaged, she had a still birth, they broke up, she died in a car wreck - never actually married. Sad little story.

    So...bloggers are the new Hollywood D-List, hm Lyn? I guess I can see that.

    And how can poor Britney NOT know that he married her for the money and the fame? Hello! And why in the HECK did she get herself preggers again with icky boy's child? Ew!

  5. Michelle, I have no idea. I've wondered that many a time with many a celebrity. It's like they just don't engage their brains. In fact, that's a likely explanation.
