Three Weeks & a Friend’s Couch

http://www.laineygossip.com/Three_Weeks_and_a_Friends_Couch_blind_riddles_27jul11.aspx

Two separate riddles here...

1. It was instant attraction when they started rehearsals, despite the fact that he’s supposed to be happily married. On set flirtation, some touching in the trailer, soon became after work “prep time”, and heavy petting in the car, and before long it was a full blown affair. May have been a method situation for him, which would surprise no one, but for her, even though she told herself this was a big girl, mature woman thing to do – take a co-star lover – of course she fell in love, although she obediently went back to her boyfriend and tried to shake it off he cut it off after three weeks as soon as his wife came over to stay. He seems to be able to pretend like it never happened. Which, naturally, is confusing her because she thought it was so real. Of course she did. As it happened, there was a break in the schedule and they haven’t had to work together for a while, much to the studio’s relief. These are big names on a big film with big expectation and there was already enough drama last time around. But shooting with everyone resumes again in a few days, and they’ll be sending an executive to stay around through the stretch to keep a close eye. Babysitting is exactly what it is.

2. Here’s a story her side has been working hard to put out there: that one night he hurt her so badly she had to leave and because she’s so famous, and was so distraught, a hotel wasn’t an option. So she drove herself – a crazy notion in and of itself – to a friend’s, and actually slept on the couch, also hard to believe. But home was supposedly not a safe place for her that night. This is why they’re helping her make a new one.

Three Weeks & a Friend’s Couch

Strong and not

She might speak her own mind, but I hear she doesn’t act her own mind. Tough as nails is what we thought all along. All of us. Which is why this is surprising the small but growing network of people who have been privy to the inside scoop – the real reason behind the rumoured rift in the relationship.

It’s not infidelity, it’s not career motivated, it’s not the workaholism but it’s much, much worse. Word is, he’s rough. He’s been rough. Physically rough. On two or three occasions. Serious occasions. And in textbook fashion, he’s tried to make amends every time. But the shocker of it all is that she’s textbook too. Because she takes it. In spite of the bravado and the image, she takes it. Which is the most heartbreaking thing of all. And if you think about it, she’s been taking it for years.

PS. It’s NOT Denise and Charlie. Pul-ease. Like not even in the same fame universe, y’all.

PPS. Unrelated but you know what I love? It’s when riddles I’ve put out there start to expose themselves. Especially the gay ones. I’ll be gracious for once and spare you the gloat but don’t forget who brought it to you first!
