Wouldn’t That Suck?

First a quick note, I still need Audrey Hooks to privately contact me with your address. I want to get that RED arc out to you. Now on to our regularly scheduled topic.

I was reading a gossip site about Ryan Reynold’s (sigh) and Scarlett Johansson’s wedding. Nothing on it was particularly outrageous. In fact, it seemed rather normal. Imagine…*g* It was the second thought that stopped me cold. It must suck to be Alanis right now. (Unless she’s the one who did the dumping.) Can you imagine having your ex’s photos announcing his wedding blasted all over the media? I mean I know it happened to Jennifer Aniston with Brad Pitt and I’m sure that sucked raging ones, especially since it never stops with the kids.

Even if it was a private breakup, you’re still stuck with seeing headline after headline of the person you once loved in the arms of another individual. I honestly cannot imagine what that would be like…other than sucktastic.

What would you do in that situation? Lie low? Or find a hottie to be photographed with? And if you did the latter, would that smack of desperation?

  1. I don’t know the answer, but it strikes me as a fabulous setup for a book. :mrgreen:


  2. Isn’t Alanis 6 months preggers (with her new dude’s baby)? So, hopefully, she’s over Ryan. But I did think that it sucked they’d been engaged for 2-3 yrs, yet he married Scarlett after a year of dating.

    If i wasn’t over the guy, yeah, it it would make life pretty miserable.


  3. Charli, You’re bad. *g*


  4. Vanessa, Actually, I don’t know if she’s pregnant. If she is, then I’m sure she is over it. I know she wrote about Ryan on her latest album. But yeah, I think it would be weird to be engaged for so long, then have it broken off, only to see the guy marry the girl he’d been engaged to for less time.


  5. Hmmmmm, well given the situation with respect to celebrity media I think I would choose the first option and “lie low”. The types of things that get splattered all over the supermarket and gossip tabloids tend to get forgotten very quickly and the media moves on to the next ‘celebrity’ story.


  6. If they concentrated on their work, and stayed away from ‘Planet Hollywood’, it would hurt less. Avoiding friends who wave every new issue of the National Enquirer in their face is also a must.


  7. Lea, I agree, particularly in the situation with Ryan Reynold. I don’t think he’ll be a quickly fixture in the tabloids.


  8. Bernard, I don’t think you have to go to the ‘hotspots’ to find the paps anymore. They seem to follow ALL the celebrities these days. It’s really rather odd. I think it would be harder avoiding people who’d wave the issues under your nose given the amount of people who tend to be in celebrity lives. :/


  9. I’d call George Clooney for a couple of dates. Yeah, that’s what I’d do. He’s like a box of chocolates, nom nom. After that I’ll call Gerard Butler. He’s like my other box of chocolates, nom nom nom. LOL.


  10. Gennita, Yes, I suppose you could always do that, although I guess it would depend on who you are. ;)
