RE: G.Butler, J.Aniston, Pitt/Jolie & Tabloids

I can’t help but wonder what the film industry would be like if Big Lips had never wound up there! (I had the same instant instincts about her as I did about Bill Clinton when I watched his first debate all those years ago, and he proved me more right than even I thought possible!!) In my humble opinion, any woman who pursues a man that is married is a pig-whore (same goes for guys). Brad Pitt may have found her attractive (why? I’ll never know!), but I don’t believe he’d ever have pursued her…it was widely known that she was persistently after him from the first meeting. I’m not saying he’s an angel in this, though he does claim he did not “cheat” on Jen until he visited her to come clean about wanting to divorce and admitting he had feelings for Jolie. (Naturally, one day the infatuation wore off, he realized what a fool he was, but didn’t cut and run b/c he knew he had burned the biggest bridge he ever had! My guess is that she probably beats the crap out of him whenever he looks at something sideways….)

It’s so obvious that Jolie is far more jealous of Jen then vice-versa, and that’s because of how she brazenly tried to seduce him at every turn, knowing he was married to a decent person that was also his best friend. I’ve always believed we’d live to see the day they’d reunite-though Jen would be a moron to do it-they were an amazing couple. Every photo you ever saw of them in public illustrated their closeness and love for each other, they were always lit up, holding hands, and their intimacy and respect for each other was so apparent. Now he realizes he’s with a nut case, she always has been, but the weeks turned to months and then to years, and in a blink of an eye there are six children and millions of $$$’s involved. Why wouldn’t she be jealous and insecure? He may have given up his marriage for her, provided her with babies, but marriage proposals, NO! That has to eat her alive, and I hope it does.

As to the comments about Jennifer being a whore who sleeps with every leading man: it born out of ignorance or stupidity. They are required by contract to publicize. Intriguing publicity, with just a hint of flirtation or the slightest notion of a “friendship” evolving, sells movie tickets and DVD’s, so the stars must interact to draw attention and interest in the film. (Why do you think casting often seeks stars that aren’t married?) The filmmakers consistently choose stars based on anticipated chemistry that will improve movie “quality” and gain the much needed media attention (and that, unfortunately, includes the bizarro tabloids).

If co-stars don’t develop a certain friendship and chemistry over the course of the movie’s production, they must really not get along, and those movies don’t do as well (one exception I can remember is “Dirty Dancing”). It’s not very complex to understand that when two people work together up to 16 hours a day for months at a time, often far from “home” & and in an unfamiliar city or country, it’s only natural that they are going to spend a lot of their downtime together , if for no other reason than there are a lack of alternatives. Why is it that two professional actors having dinner, going shopping or to a party ALWAYS REQUIRE THEY ARE HAVING SEX?!? (And why is everyone claiming J. Aniston made all of this hot & heavy with Gerard Butler to promote the film when in fact, these reports were made via “an unknown source/friend of Jen’s”? Making herself out to be the actress that sleeps with every leading man….no, sorry, but that’s just not what she’s about!

By the way, do George Clooney and Brad Pitt have a sexual relationship b/c they make movies together, hang out and are a great duo on screen? Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have made a few films together, have amazing on-screen chemistry and a good friendship, but Tom never cheated on Rita Wilson, nor was there ever even a hint of a rumor. Renee Z. did not sleep with Hugh Grant or Colin Firth, and I think it’s safe to say Jodie Foster hasn’t slept with any of her leading men. How about Julia Roberts and Richard Gere?

So why have the media and tabloids put Butler and Aniston in bed? One report claimed “trial marriage”…..because they are both single, gorgeous, get along great and enjoy each other’s company. If they were in a relationship, what would be the benefit of trying to cover it up when they make no secret of the time they’ve spent together , from the first script reading to the red carpet premiere and everything in between? Despite all of the men the relentlessly stupid paparazzi have connected to Jennifer Aniston, I think she’s had 2 or 3 semi-serious relationships since her divorce several years ago, all of which ended in heartbreak for her. If she was the “whore” so many of the comments suggest, I don’t think it would affect her emotionally when it ended…it would just be another day in the life.

So I ask, WHY do so MANY people choose to believe lies over facts? And why do so many seem hell bent on writing horrible, nasty and insulting things about people and events that were invented by desperate, under achieving reporters trying to buy their next meal? It’s gotten so “OLD” and tiring and dumb…This submission, I realize, is much more like a dissertation than a “comment”, but when I happen to notice a headline about an actor I like on Yahoo or my email website, and then it proceeds to tie into a dozen contradictory statements or reports, followed by a slew of ignorant comments made by people who will believe absolutely anything if it suits their fancy, it MAKES ME CRAZY.

I have never written a thing on any celebrity gossip site, but today was the day I decided I couldn’t just brush it away once again. Therefore, I gave myself the opportunity to make all of the comments I ever kept to myself in one, very long, “comment” to condemn the foolish comments of people who read headlines in the grocery store from known scum tabloids (who’ve been sued for slander so many times it boggles the mind how they stay in business…oh yeah, it’s all the super high IQ’s out there buying their trash) and then believe it as gospel. What’s worse? They add insult to injury by regurgitating the false accusations to any other fool who will listen/read it and then further their stupidity by making more, and often far worse, false allegations!!OPEN YOUR EYES. OPEN YOUR MINDS. PLEASE!!!

I can’t help but recall an interview with Gerard Butler a while back…with Leno or one of the other late night shows. He was incredibly charming and insightful…down to earth, spoke of a recent sibling’s wedding where he had been asked to read at the Wedding Mass. He was, as is the custom for most Scots, in full dress kilt. His mother kept giving him “the look”, and then glance downward. He thought she was trying to tell him to look more pious… that wasn’t the problem though. He was sitting the way he would if wearing trousers, and the entire congregation got an eyeful by the time his mother was able to fully convey the message to her son. Now, there’s an example of a truthful, entertaining story AND NOBODY WAS HAVING SEX IN IT! He went on to talk about the “reports” flying around soon after “Bounty Hunter” began filming in New York. The tabloids, and the entertainment media, had linked him to L. Lohan. He went on to explain that he had just been introduced to Lohan for the first time, and in that moment, some reporter decided that shaking hands or a quick, friendly hug was a clear and factual indication of a sexual relationship with Lohan. Days later, the Jennifer Aniston rumors came out and grew to an extreme overnight. He had only known her a short time as the film was just beginning production…he said they may have had lunch or something by that time, yet the media proclaimed they were all but heading down the aisle (as night follows day, the media ultimately did report that Gerard and Jennifer were in a “trial marriage”!!). Gerard Butler said he was completely bewildered and found the reports of these alleged relationships very ironic: not only was he NOT in any way involved with either of these women, but he had in fact been publicly dating other “known” women at the time the false reports were being circulated. He shook his head, chuckled and said (paraphrasing), “Not one word was printed about who I was seeing, but every media source in the country was printing or reporting fabricated relationships. I honestly just don’t get it. If they want to write about who I am dating, isn’t it much easier to choose the dates I did have over the ones that didn’t exist”.

I WANTED SO BADLY TO CALL HIM & EXPLAIN how millions in the U.S. prefer sleazy lies to pleasant truths, and not to feel bad because at least, so far, they haven’t written stories about him giving birth to two-headed, conjoined triplets in his past life as a male prostitute!!!
