| File this one under Things You Should Never Say to Your New Significant Other. Scarlett Johansson, who began dating Josh Hartnett when they were filming Black Dahlia this past spring, has had some recent quotes published that may be giving Hartnett pause when considering the direction of their relationship. According to Johansson, humans are not monogamous by nature, and dating an actor is difficult because actors are “so damn moody”. Johansson also decried the long-distance relationship, a situation actors who are dating often find themselves in, calling a relationship by phone “miserable”. But perhaps the comment that should most worry Hartnett was Johansson’s reference to onscreen love-scenes, pointing out that one tells a partner, “Hey, I’m doing a sexy scene with this very sexy girl/boy, (but) I love you and I'm going to be thinking of you when I am rolling around in bed with this person!”, implying that this might not be entirely true in all cases. After the “fascination” Johansson reported Woody Allen had for her love life during the filming of Match Point, and a similar interest Johansson related was expressed by John Travolta when the two were filming A Song for Bobby Long, sounds to us like Johansson’s shopping, with the current odds on her next costar becoming her newest beau are running at 2-to-1. Well, Josh Hartnett can at least take comfort in the fact that she didn’t take up with Woody Allen when she had the chance. Uh, we think. |

Ooo, a catfight! Sir Elton John has been having a bit of a dust-up with Madonna this year, having dissed her for not singing live at some of her concerts, prompting the Material Girl to hold a “special live” performance at a London pub last month in order prove Elton and her other critics wrong. So it’s really no surprise that she didn’t attend Elton’s celebrity bachelor bash the night before his recent wedding to his long-time partner, David Furnish. Well, to everyone but the bride-groom himself, apparently, who reportedly called Madonna a “miserable cow” for skipping his last-night-as-a-free-man party. Madonna got her own back a little, answering Sir Elton’s remarks by releasing a statement through her spokeswoman, who told a London paper that Madonna wished Sir Elton “all the best, and hopes married life will make him a happier person.” Reports that the WWE is trying to sign the pair for a pay-per-view cage match to the last sequin could not be confirmed at press time. |
| For anyone who needed any more proof that Jessica Simpson isn’t the brightest light on the Christmas tree, here you go. Unless you’ve been on a desert island where they don’t sell tabloids in the local mini-mart, you probably know by now that the made-in-Nielson-ratings marriage of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey has dissolved after three years, one television series, three TV specials, and more of a career than either of them deserved. As part of the proceedings, Simpson recently filed an application requesting that she not be made to pay alimony to her soon-to-be-ex-hubby. You see, since getting married, little Jessica’s career has taken off, and the dimwitted blonde is currently worth an estimated $54 million, all of which was earned since the marriage. So with California being a community-property state, that $54 million is up to be halved if Simpson’s request is denied. Now, all of this could have been avoided if Simpson had simply signed a pre-nuptial agreement as recommended before traipsing down the aisle with her then-more-famous-and-richer love-of-her-life. Funny how these things come back to bite one in the ass. If, as is expected, Simpson’s attempt to avoid paying exactly what she seemingly wanted to secure for herself way back when is denied, and considering her 15 minutes is at about 14:57 and counting, we suspect Jessica will become much more familiar with that whole Chicken of the Sea conundrum in a whole variety of ways. |

And our next likely candidates for Divorce Court, Britney Spears and her erstwhile baby daddy, Kevin Federline, are in the news as well, as again, you’ve likely noticed unless you live in the North Pole and have been making toys until about four days ago. Amidst all the stories of Britney throwing Kevin out the house and their agreement to seek counseling, blah, blah, bliddy-blah, comes an item that has Britney mad over Kevin reportedly complaining to a magazine about how difficult life is with his meal ticket...uh, we mean wife. Kevin was apparently quoted recently in a non-tabloid publication as wondering if life apart from Britney could “be any worse than living with her.” According to the quote, Federline is following her wishes by “getting out of the house and” - we love this part - “trying to find work”, but that his little wifey doesn’t seem to appreciate all that he’s doing for her. Federline allegedly goes on to say that Britney wants him at her “beck and call as a little house husband”. Dude, we’ve heard your “rap song”, and you’d best be buttoning that lip and making up with your gravy train pronto, cause we guarantee life without that marriage license, and the access to her money it brings, is going to be so much worse now than it was before you met her. Capiche? |
