Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel have just announced that they’re ending their decade-long marriage, and the universe wails a resounding wail of sorrow. They were the best couple! Nooooooooo.
According to a statement released by their reps: “Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs have jointly decided to separate at this
time. Their primary focus and concern
is for their son. We ask that you respect their privacy during this
time.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard horrid whispers that all wasn’t right. I know that it’s not really my place to scream protestations at the sky over the dissolution of the marriage of two strangers — but once more: NOOOOOOO. [People]
Lea Michele went on Ellen and spoke about losing Cory Monteith. “Going to work is no different than being in the house, and opening up a closet, and seeing a pair of shoes,” she said. “Grief goes with you every day, whatever you’re doing: when there are great moments, when there are hard moments. So I’d rather be at work with the people that I love who are going through the same thing. It obviously has its triggers, but I feel so safe there… They’re like my family.”
Absolutely heartbreaking. Without fail, I start weeping every time she talks about moving on. [Just Jared]
On a much lighter note: in an interview with WGCI radio, Kanye West talked about Kim Kardashian‘s music career, which I imagine will fall somewhere between Heidi Montag’s music career and Paris Hilton’s music career (“STARS ARE BLIND” IS A GOOD SONG, OK?) on the “painful and terrible” spectrum.
“I am going to make Kim Kardashian a bigger performer than Beyonce,” said Kanye. “Me and Kim will soon be the first couple of Hip Hop.” I think we should all be held accountable for this — because in insisting that it’s bad that Kim has no talents, we’ve made her feel that she has to pretend to develop some.
