@willwriteforfood: I wish I could go SO badly! Julie Andrews was the first person my (now) husband and I told when we got engaged, and she's just so delightful!
I'm sad for Elin but really proud of her at the same time. This might sounds harsh but I think in many cases of infidelity, the partner that was cheated on stays in the relationship for too long, or for the wrong reasons. If I was in her position I would do the exact same thing. Maybe that's because I'm not very forgiving. Cheat on me once, shame on you, cheat on me twice, shame on me. Cheat on me with 9 different women, fuck you I'm taking the kids and the money.
@kkatt: "Cheat on me with 9 different women, fuck you I'm taking the kids and the money"
A motto to live by! Also, I hope she gets half the money and alimony and child support. He's totally screwed with her life and she deserves at least that. I have no sympathy for cheaters.
@kkatt: Cheat on me with 15 different women, fuck you, I'm taking the kids, the money AND your fucking golf clubs and fucking green jacket, which I will put into an industrial shredder and sprinkle on your front lawn.
I hope she makes him very, very sorry for having such little respect for her, their children and women in general. I highly suspect he doesn't even remember the names of the umpteen women he's cheated with, if he ever bothered to learn them in the first place.
@willwriteforfood: Of all the things we think she should/will take, I think your green jacket dig would be the thing he would miss the most. Judging by his behavior, he doesn't respect much except his golf game.
He's got a problem - obviously - I shouldn't call him a whore. But for a man who was devastated by his father's philandering he sure has a funny way of dealing.
@sybann: " But for a man who was devastated by his father's philandering he sure has a funny way of dealing." ...Or a very common way, really! Unless we have skills/support to do otherwise, we often mimic our parents' worst behaviors. Just last night, a therapist was telling me how many of her alcoholic clients have alcoholic parents. The abused often become abusers. Etc....
@janusjana: Oh, I know - but you'd think he'd be self-aware enough to get help when he saw he was replicating the behavior - it's not like HE has to worry about the cost of his health care.
@willwriteforfood: I hate that I am such a golf nerd that I know this, but the green jacket remains at Augusta. To be worn only at Augusta. Club rules. The sentiment is apt, however.
@Working-for-the-weekend: I don't think it's just his eyes ... in all the spiderman movies he almost seemed just a hair slower than everything/one else? Which is strange since Peter Parker is a rather energetic character.
@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: He was just turning 33 at the beginning of Lord of the Rings, and that is when Hobbits come of age. So considering relative aging, I don't think the casting is too far off there (well, except for the fact that they cast Elijah Wood to begin with, but I did my share of ranting about that before the movies came out).
Bilbo, on the other hand, was well settled before he got swept off on his grand adventure.
@la.donna.pietra: I really, really, really wanted to respond to this comment with "LOL" but as a starred commenter I know I have a larger responsibility.
So I will say: This is very funny la.donna.pietra. and I hadn't thought of it until you brought it up. If Charles Barkley really wanted to help he would blow up the moon or something.
Yesterday I was in the elevator with some seedy 60 year old man who kept clearing his throat to get my attention. So I ignored him because that's what you do in NYC. And then he said "excuse me?" I turned around and he said "So, you're Tiger Woods' wife...what do you do?"
I said "leave him. immediately." And he went off on a whole tirade about STDs and lack of respect for women for the entire 23 floor ride and out the lobby that made me want to hug him despite the fact that he smelled of baby vomit and stale bologna.
I'm thankful that the protagonist is each dirtbag item is bolded, because it makes it much easier for me to go "Ah, this one's about Tiger Woods ... scrrrrrrrrrrrrroll down"
@Hooplehead: At least if a pub quiz comes up in which there's a question requiring a detailed description of the most recent ob/gyn exam of Tiger's 43rd mistress, we're safe.
@HadwinBabazoid: This is my MO for items that involve: the Pratts and/or anyone from The Hills or its spin-off shows; any member of the Kardashian family; Jon Gosselin; Roman Polanksi; the Palins; Mel Gibson; heiresses. It's such a servicey move by the editors!
Uh is anyone else concerned about Alec Baldwin? First he's saying he's quitting acting, then he says he sucks, and now he's giving away a lot of money?
... Resigning yourself from the world and giving away possessions anyone? Self-destructive behavior possibly? Mrr, I do not like this at all.
@Ananelle: There was some article last month in Elle I believe where the writer kept gushing about hot hot he was, and all I could think reading the interview was, "uuh, this guy sounds really unhinged..."
@Ananelle: I don't know, maybe he's simply publicity-savvy and manages to stay in the public eye by saying ridiculous things just when he needs to promote a show (30 Rock) or a movie (It's Complicated). And he set up a foundation because he has the money to do so and wants to support other artists. It's not an unusual thing to do- most successful artists have set up scholarships, foundations, etc. Heck, there's an item about Carrie Underwood doing so in this very dirtbag.

Sadly, it probably won't.
