"All's not perfect" reveal

http://www.laineygossip.com/chris-pratt-anna-faris-announce-separation/47618

On Sunday night, when many of us were being engulfed by dragonfire, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt announced that they’re ending their marriage through their social media accounts:

Maybe they thought that doing it during Daenerys and Drogon’s attack on the Lannisters would make their breakup more low profile than it could have been. Maybe they hadn’t considered releasing the statement on the weekend gives the tabloids enough time to rearrange their features and cover stories so that the story can be included in this week’s issues. These two don’t typically rank too high on the list of Hollywood’s most aggressive media manipulators so I’m not as suspicious of the timing and whether or not there may be any ulterior motives involved as I would be if it were anyone else. And as far as separation statements are concerned, this one is a lot more candid than the usual “we have decided to end our marriage, we respect each other, leave us alone” version we’re accustomed to seeing.

“We tried hard, and we’re really disappointed” is not a lie. And if you’ve been reading this site for at least a couple of years and you’re not, ahem, blind, you probably aren’t surprised. First things first, any suggestion that this had something to do with Jennifer Lawrence is ridiculous and amateur. It means you haven’t been paying attention. As for whether or not it has to do with fame and the fact that Chris Pratt is a box office star now, associated with two major franchises, and has grown out of his old wife and his old life and is looking for an upgrade – I mean I’m all for sh-tting on an upgrading asshole but that’s not true either.

I’m told by multiple sources, including the ones who originally riddle-sourced me, that Chris was right there with Anna, as supportive as he could have been. There’s just some sh-t you have to face alone. And there’s some sh-t that takes its toll on the strongest of marriages, over and above infidelity and the usual messes that we’re used to seeing in famous marriages.

Last night TMZ reported that the divorce between Anna and Chris is “as amicable as it gets” and that their sources also confirm that what came between them wasn’t drama but the reality of wanting different things at different times and what they each wanted out of their marriage. According to TMZ, Anna wanted more children which, um, if you had the sight, is consistent with the issues that came up a couple of years ago. And it’s not that Chris didn’t want more kids, necessarily, but that, well, sometimes kids aren’t necessarily a solution.

So, if you’re inclined to take sides, there’s really no side to take here. There was no cheating, no ego, no scandal.

Amber Heard and Elon Musk broke up. And there was all kinds of back and forth about why. Elon supposedly pursued Amber for years, from when she was still with Johnny Depp. To me it always seemed like being with him was a bonus f-ck you to JD. Elon clarified today that there’s been no drama. And she did not ask the court to grant her a restraining order against him. Instead she just posted a message about how they’re still close and care for one another. Which totally means she still gets to go to all of his, ahem, parties. (Dlisted)

Brad Pitt is currently on the cover of US Weekly with Sienna Miller. They were at Glastonbury together although, supposedly, they weren’t together-together, at least not according to sources from his side who are trying to insist that they’re not a thing.

This week Brad’s been papped a few times in LA, leaving his office, focused on work and not romance. Here he is yesterday close to the office, taking a coffee break before. He’s as fit as he’s looked in a while, not quite as thin as he was a couple of months ago. This is what we’re supposed to be talking about: Brad’s not dating, Brad’s not with Sienna, Brad’s just taking care of business.

The other day, when I posted about Brad and Sienna, I mentioned that while Sienna is totally his type, the type that would benefit him best, at least from the MiniVan Majority’s perspective, is Jennifer Garner. That’s who America would want to see him with – someone they totally relate to. Can you imagine the nuclear headlines that would result from that? So many angles. Like, for starters, how Ben Affleck would feel about it.

That said, I don’t know that it’s possible. If Jennifer Garner hooked up with Brad Pitt, it’d be her second Gwyneth Paltrow succession. And I feel like the presence of GP in Ben’s past bothered her more than Jennifer Lopez ever did.

http://www.laineygossip.com/katy-perry-chris-martin-reportedly-hooked-up-at-glastonbury/47323

According to the UK Sun, Brad Pitt and Sienna Miller hooked up at Glastonbury this weekend. Brad Pitt evidently doesn’t want us to think or know this because Gossip Cop is trying to discredit the story, citing two sources on Brad’s side who insist it didn’t go down like that. Sure.

In addition to their report about Brad and Sienna, the Sun is also saying that Katy Perry and Chris Martin also hooked up at Glastonbury. Supposedly they were seen holding hands. Chris was also supposedly seen kissing another artist, Dua Lipa, the day before. His reps have denied the Dua Lipa part but so far haven’t commented on the Katy Perry rumours. So, basically, Chris Martin is doing at a music festival what a lot of people do at music festivals: random.

What if, though? What if Katy and Chris make it beyond a festival weekend? That is if he is actually no longer with Annabelle Wallis. With Annabelle, Chris seemed much more comfortable being out in public. They danced down the street together in Paris, remember? That could be because Annabelle isn’t as well-known as… well… his ex-wife, for starters. And also Jennifer Lawrence. Katy Perry is definitely more on the Paltrow-Lawrence level of fame than Annabelle Wallis. Like in any possible Katy Perry-Chris Martin equation, Katy Perry is the bigger deal. That worked for Orlando Bloom because Orlando was desperate for a boost. But I’m not sure that works for Chris Martin. If he couldn’t handle having the paps around when he was with GP, what would it be like around Katy Perry? As for what Katy would be getting out of this, Jennifer Lawrence would know. She used to have a nickname for it.

Ben Affleck was in treatment

Ben Affleck revealed on Facebook late yesterday that he was in treatment for alcohol addiction.

You may have known about this already, that he’s been making good decisions. And this was the best decision, made undoubtedly with the support of Jennifer Garner, the person who’s always been a solid influence in his life.

This is not Ben’s first time in rehab. Back in 2001, it was Charlie Sheen who drove Ben to Promises in Malibu. (I know, right???) After that, he started dating Jennifer Lopez. And after that it was Jennifer Garner and their children and his comeback and Argo and Batman and… and…and…and…

Addiction is enough of a beast on its own without fame and entitlement and the trappings of Hollywood. We’ve seen often how the industry condones certain behaviours, enables them even, and in Ben Affleck’s case, this escalation wasn’t overnight; it happened over an extended period, a period when wellness may not have been a priority – not for him and perhaps not for the people who needed production more than wellness.

Ben Affleck is fortunate though. He keeps getting chances. Nobody’s passing him over for projects. He’s still at the top of the list. And that’s not the case for everyone.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Ben-Affleck-and-Jennifer-Garner-reportedly-calling-off-divorce-according-to-PEOPLE/46464

PEOPLE reported first thing this morning that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have called off their divorce – for now:

Though the actors, both 44 — who announced their separation back in June 2015 — aren’t back together, they have decided to keep working on their marriage after going through a recent rough patch that nearly led to a permanent split.

“Jen has called off the divorce,” a source close to Garner tells PEOPLE in the latest issue. “She really wants to work things out with Ben. They are giving things another try.”
But a source close to the couple says it was a decision they both made: “There is always a chance of reconciliation. They love each other. They also really, really love their kids, and those kids love their parents.”

Last month, US Weekly reported that Jennifer was actually ready to move ahead with the divorce. Now PEOPLE isn’t disputing that original story but is updating the situation… so… why?

What happened between early February and now?

Well, Ben’s kept a pretty low profile. Professionally he recently announced that he will not be directing The Batman and there’s been some rumouring that he may not even star in the movie. On the personal side, he was at the Oscars to support his brother Casey but was not seen at any of the after-parties. So, it would seem that Ben’s focusing on family right now and perhaps that focus is what convinced Jennifer to reconsider, giving her reason to believe that their marriage can be repaired and that they can come out stronger for it.

Ben and Jennifer are both Rats. Remember the forecast for Rats in the Year of the Rooster? Rats are supposed to be super lucky this year – and 1972 Rats are the luckiest of all Rats… but only if they stay focused and make good decisions. If you believe Chinese astrology then, yes, they are totally getting back together. If he can keep his sh-t together.

Oh and also? Great timing for these sources to be talking to PEOPLE…you know…um… this week, almost like it’s … insurance? She's always the one who’s had his back, always the one who saves him from himself.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Casey-Affleck-paints-brother-Ben-as-a-victim-of-fame-at-2017-Oscars/46384

Ben Affleck was very emotional last night when Casey Affleck won the Oscar. He kissed and hugged his little brother. He was teary-eyed in the audience during Casey’s acceptance speech.

See Matt Damon in the corner of that shot? I feel like he really wants to come over.

In the press room, Casey was asked about Ben’s reaction:

It was very moving. Obviously, my brother, to have him there, it was a nice moment," Casey told reporters in the press room at Hollywood's Dolby Theater. "He didn't actually say anything. He just hugged me. A lot of people have been giving me some grief for not thanking him in the past, but in a friendly way."

"I saw those tears and I thought maybe I'm just not making a good speech and he was really disappointed. But I think he was probably touched, and I think that we are — I mean, not to brag or anything, but I think we're the only two brothers to win Academy Awards, ever," Casey added.

"I've learned a lot from him because he's been through a lot in this business and ups and downs and been under-appreciated and then it's been proven how great he is," Casey continued backstage. "It's been an advantage to be able to watch someone you love and you know so well go try to navigate the very tricky, rocky, sometimes hateful waters of being famous."

Ohhhhhh…kayyyyy….

Can we just back it up and crush the exaggeration going on here? Since when is Ben Affleck under-appreciated? He won an Oscar 20 years ago – at age 25, then the youngest ever Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay. And is it really fame that’s made Ben’s waters rocky and hateful….or is it Ben himself who’s also agitating calm waters and making waves? This is who they are, the Affleck brothers. They rewrite their own histories, they edit out their mistakes, their bad decisions, they turn themselves into victims. And… as always… they will be FINE.

Ben looks weird as f-ck though, non? I just checked back to what he looked like at last year’s Oscars…

And we were already talking about his face changes last year. But compared this year, 2016 was such an improvement. Now? Now it’s so tight it looks like he’s in pain when he smiles. Like his cheeks refuse to move. Are you seeing that too?

Katy & Orlando over?

IN TOUCH Weekly reported exclusively yesterday that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are done. I don’t love IN TOUCH as a source but what’s interesting is that it’s been a full 24 hours and, so far, none of the legitimate celebrity outlets, like E! News or PEOPLE or US Weekly or Entertainment Tonight or Access Hollywood have come out to kill or corroborate the story. Which means they’re all trying to find out from their sources whether or not it’s true.

Here’s Orly in Malibu yesterday. He and Katy haven’t been seen together since Halloween, so about three weeks ago. Since then, well, a lot has changed. As in an election. Katy was one of Hillary Clinton’s most vocal supporters. She took it hard. And everything on her social media after November 8 has been about taking action, staying focused, and continuing to advocate for the issues that matter to her, most importantly women’s reproductive health.

So, if Katy and Orly have indeed broken up, it would have happened some time after Halloween, and in and around the time of the election. Did political upheaval result in personal upheaval? According to IN TOUCH, Katy wanted to get more serious, and Orlando wasn’t ready for it. Other sources told the magazine that "they were on different life paths and as much as she likes him, it's time to move on”.

If the split is true, I’m more inclined to believe it was the “different life paths”. Orly really, really enjoys a certain lifestyle. Wouldn’t surprise me if she was over it.

Amanda Seyfried stepped out today in New York, with her dog, without her fiancé. Her fiancé is now Thomas Sadoski. US Weekly confirmed it yesterday. Amanda and Thomas worked together last year on the play The Way We Get By. He was married at the time. His marriage ended last summer. And he and Amanda, um, “reconnected” (this is how the magazine describes it) earlier this year on The Last Word. They went public with their relationship in March which must, like, totally, totally have been really new into their situation, like barely a couple of months in. Super fresh. So, if you want to get technical, they’ve been dating 9 months and now they’re getting married …which…you know, in some ways, they’re kinda perfect together, maybe even less likely to disappoint each other.

US Weekly reported this week that Gavin Rossdale and Elin Nordegren went on a first date recently. Please please please will it be ok for me to just say this one thing because I can't help myself? Gavin and Gwen Stefani got divorced because she caught him cheating with the nanny; Elin used to be a nanny! I'm sorry. I had to.

Anyway, US says that Gavin and Elin were set up by mutual friends. This is very interesting to me. Imagine you had a friend who came to you all like "I have a guy for you!"

Ok. Tell me about him.

"He's got 3 kids. He's financially stable. He's good looking. Oh and his marriage ended because he kept f-cking around on his wife, the last time with their nanny."

Would you be down?

The mutual friend? Not sure. But they might have Roger Federer in common. Tiger Woods and Roger are friends. Roger and Gavin are very good friends. Roger would totally be the kind of friend who'd vouch for Gavin despite the cheating.

http://www.laineygossip.com/The-Rocks-Instagram-shade-is-reportedly-about-Vin-Diesel-after-they-butted-heads-on-set/44620

The Rock’s Instagram shade was not about Scott Eastwood. It was also not about Tyrese Gibson, as I initially wondered. According to TMZ, The Rock was targeting Vin Diesel, the main man of the Fast Furious franchise:

We're told The Rock has butted heads with Vin during the production, in part because V.D. is a producer and has made decisions that didn't sit well with the former wrestling champ.

Our sources say The Rock and Vin had a meeting on the Atlanta set mid-day Tuesday ... partly because tensions were running so high it was almost impossible to shoot scenes. We do not know if they resolved their issues.

As we reported, almost the entire cast is angry at Rock for causing a stir just a week and a half before filming ends.

Boy Sh-t!

Just like Girl Sh-t except when it’s Boy Sh-t TMZ calls it “decisions” instead of high maintenance behaviour. Girl Sh-t is over nails, hair, and boys. Boy Sh-t is all about the work, ya get?

Or, rather, the non-work. I blinded like 10 years ago about how Vin behaved like a spoiled king on set. And it’s no secret even beyond the industry that he doesn’t exactly observe Hugh Jackman levels of professionalism. Naively though I wrote yesterday that I didn’t think it was him because, well, he’s got money in this thing. And, typically, when you have money tied up in something you want to take care of it. Well, once again, I’m a stupid c-nt. I got an anonymous tip yesterday alleging that Vin’s work ethic was allegedly not that great on xXx either:

“Diesel was a producer on that film as well, and he repeatedly held up production due to his partying (and insisting on being helicoptered into remote locations after partying all night, while the rest of the cast and crew had to trek in by foot and wait for hours for him). ALLEGEDLY, as well, his head has been superimposed on his stunt double for the majority of the movie, as his physique was not good enough.”

Please note that I’m still second and third sourcing this email and it may well be that Vin was the opposite and always showed up on time, bringing it all the way with his energy and his attitude, leading by example and excellence! Go Vin!

Should The Rock have taken his complaints public though? Isn’t that unprofessional? Yeah, probably. I wonder though how he would try to defend it. This is the second time The Rock and Vin have worked together. And if this is Vin’s established pattern, a pattern that hasn’t been checked by studio executives, other producers, other actors etc, or they’ve been trying to address the pattern for years to no avail, and the movies keep making money anyway, is public shaming a viable last resort? Or is it always, always off-side no matter what, no matter who?

On a similar note, while we’re talking about Boy Sh-t, if your competitor taunts you by shadowboxing in your face the night before, and is so obsessed with you to the point where he can’t even stop looking over at you when he’s supposed to be swimming forward, and then you outrace him, is it then totally OK to shove your dick in his face when you touch the wall first?

Seriously, if you’re not watching the Olympics you are missing out on some mega monster gossip.

Gaga and “the break”

It’s an eternal relationship debate: do breaks work?

Yesterday it was reported that Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney have ended their engagement. Then Gaga posted this message on Instagram that seems to leave open the possibility for reconciliation:

I never used to believe that people who say “we’re on a break” ever end up un-breaking. But I might be full of sh-t because my parents were divorced for over 10 years and my mother married someone else in between, but still eventually got back together.

Is it a celebrity trend though? This “break”?

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced they would be divorcing last year. They’ve yet to file paperwork and there’s speculation that they might be working to get back together.

Jillian Fink actually filed for divorce from Patrick Dempsey in January 2015. They called off the divorce a year later.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth ended their engagement three years ago. Last Christmas they got back together.

Gaga and Taylor have broken up before. So they have experience with breaking and un-breaking. I think though that the key to unbreaking is being honest about what happened during the break. Or maybe before the break.

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson are done. And so are Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney.

They’ve been together 5 years. He proposed in 2015. They were together through award season, the Golden Globes, the Oscars, as she was nominated both for co-writing a song and for her performance on American Horror Story. Up and down those red carpets they kept talking about their wedding plans. Well… but…acting doesn’t seem like, um, so much of a sidejob anymore. Page Six reported (again) this week that Gaga has accepted the role vacated by Beyoncé in Bradley Cooper’s version of A Star Is Born. It’s a different focus. And a different goal. Gaga wants to be a movie star first. And, well, you know, besides. If you were paying attention.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Bradley-Cooper-holds-hands-with-Irina-Shayk-in-Paris-before-watching-her-walk-the-runway-for-Versace/44296

Bradley Cooper was on a roll for a while there professionally. Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, Guardians Of The Galaxy, and (the overrated) American Sniper, back to back to back to back over three years. And since then…kind of a slump. There was no excitement for Serena. Aloha was a mess. Burnt didn’t go anywhere. And Joy was pretty forgettable. He has a supporting role in the upcoming War Dogs, starring Jonah Hill and Miles Teller, but that’s not really his movie. So it makes sense that he’s taking his time deciding what’s next. There’s been a lot of talk about the remake of A Star Is Born, now with Lady Gaga playing the female lead over Beyoncé, but so far no definitive announcements have been made to confirm the project. And there was some buzz over a year ago that he and Robert De Niro would be working on a movie called Honeymoon With Harry, by Dan Fogelman, about a man whose fiancée dies right before the wedding and ends up on a trip with his would-be father-in-law but I wonder if Zac Efron’s appalling Dirty Grandpa may have derailed that for the time being.

Until he figures out his next move then, Bradley Cooper headlines have been on his love life. Here he is in Paris with Irina Shayk this weekend before sitting front row at Versace, in between Jennifer Garner and Naomi Campbell, to watch her walk the runway. Last week Coop was at Glastonbury, dancing more attractively than his friend Leonardo DiCaprio. It’s a similar life though, non? Coop just doesn’t hide as much. Or, rather, the not hiding maybe serves other purposes. This weekend is the Wimbledon final, where Roger Federer just got through the fourth round today and with Novak Djokovic out the way, Roger has a very good chance at his 8th title. Coop was at Wimbledon last year, bro-ing down with Gerard Butler. I feel like we may see him there again this year.

He and Kirsten were together on the weekend. And at one point, the paps photographed them kissing. He kinda looks here like he could be related to Garrett Hedlund, doesn’t he? Anyway, since the end of FNL, it’s actually Jesse who’s had the most successful career. He’s, ahem, a smart guy. He works on prestige television projects. He works on prestige film projects. He works. And he works steadily. And I feel like his trajectory might be similar to that of, say, a Bryan Cranston (and, yes, he was on Breaking Bad too).

http://www.laineygossip.com/Amber-Heard-files-for-divorce-from-Johnny-Depp-three-days-after-Johnnys-mother-passes-away/43990

Multiple posts to address this situation…

As first reported by TMZ yesterday, after 15 months of marriage, Amber Heard filed for divorce earlier this week, just three days after Johnny Depp’s mother Betty Sue passed away. So, um, not exactly a conscious uncoupling then? After all this time, Amber’s finally good for something.

Apparently there’s no prenup. And Johnny’s worth a lot of cash money, estimated $400 million. Amber’s asking spousal support. He’s retained the services of Laura Wasser to deny her request – another reason this is looking ugly. And where’s that ugliness coming from?

According to TMZ Johnny’s late ma and his kids and his siblings can’t stand Amber. They think she’s an asshole. And supposedly Betty Sue believed Amber’s an opportunist, leveraging a relationship with Johnny for her career – not that it’s helped in any way. Which is probably why she hit the exit. But more on her motivations in the next post.

TMZ’s sources say that Amber cockblocked Betty Sue’s access to her son and that Johnny only saw his ma once after he and Amber got married. A few months ago, however, Johnny moved his ma into his home – likely because she was quite ill, considering she just died – and that’s when everything went beyond repair. OK but…if you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you kinda knew it would go down this way, non? Otherwise, why was he sleeping on the couch?

That riddle was posted last March. When Johnny was in Australia shooting Pirates. And Marilyn Manson was touring there. He crashed with Manson instead so that Amber couldn’t reach him. Shortly after, Johnny injured his hand on set and had to fly back to LA for surgery, remember that? At the time, they didn’t anticipate a major delay in production. But after a month, there were reports coming out of Australia that he wasn’t showing up for work, “missing” amid rumours that his marriage was already in trouble. And then the next day he and Amber arrive in Australia together, holding hands, making a big show of their togetherness, even as PEOPLE Magazine reported that they were leading “separate lives” – click here for a refresher on that.

By the way, that’s also when they brought the dogs over to Australia and the whole dog scandal went down. So. It’s been a f-cking year. Which is why this can’t be a surprise.

Let’s not call Amber the only asshole in this situation though. Johnny was with Vanessa Paradis for a long time. And towards the end, with Vanessa, it’s not like he was some kind of dream. When Johnny and Angelina Jolie were shooting The Tourist in Venice, all the tabloids could focus on was whether or not there were problems between Brange. Brange was actually fine. Ironically Johnny and Vanessa were the ones who were scrapping. Rumour has it she was done with all his bro-down boozing and rock-starring, not being present in their relationship, and he allegedly thought she was a nag. She wasn’t a nag. And, as it turns out, she’s a lot less dramatic than who he ended up leaving her for. Amber Heard may not go so quietly. More on Amber next..

"Two unfaithful wives" "Second wife" reveal

Gwyneth Paltrow posted this group photo on Instagram yesterday. As you can see, her children, Apple and Moses, are there. A few other people who look so familiar I just can’t place them right now but if you can, please tell me. Oh yeah, and Chris Martin, at the other end of the table, but that’s him. Definitely him.

Is Brad Falchuk the one taking the picture? Or was his divorce also a conscious uncoupling? Ahem.

It’s still fascinating to me. That now that they’re no longer together, only now is she including him in her social media posts.

Anyway, the food looks delicious and I’ve decided I need more white serving platters in every single shape I can find.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Katy-Perry-and-Orlando-Bloom-together-on-a-yacht-in-Cannes-following-Orlando-and-Selena-Gomezs-photo-scandal-in-Vegas/43914

Exactly a week ago, we were looking at pictures of Selena Gomez eating Orlando Bloom’s neck in a booth in Vegas. Apparently they also left together – but with friends. Click here for a refresher.

“Friends” is the operative word. And, after a couple of cryptic posts on Twitter, Katy Perry definitively chose the “friends” explanation and tweeted about conspiracy theories and not feeding the beast which Selena retweeted so… no drama here? Move along then? Sure. We’re not the ones who are paying.

And now Katy and Orlando are in Cannes. Katy’s scheduled to perform at the amfAR gala on Thursday night. Orlando is scheduled to be there to party. They were photographed kissing on Roman Abramovich’s yacht this weekend – click here to see. Other people who’ve been invited on that yacht include Kanye West’s wife’s mother. Leo’s been known to show up too. And these boat parties, they get real messy. Ahem. Don’t think Orly minds.
