My friend Brad (you know I adore you) asked if I was going to post about the demise of Ashton and Demi. I'm not a fan of either (purposely avoid movies of both except "A Few Good Men"), but I love good sleaze as much as the next person. I thought it was appropriate for a retrospective piece on how they went the distance in Hollywood terms (married for 6 yrs), but another couple bites the dust.
Oh Demi. Remember when she posed on the "Vanity Fair" pregnant and naked, with Scout in her belly? That marriage too, fell apart and everyone wondered who would Demi date next. I'm sure she was searching thru "A Few Good Men" in Hollywood wondering who was a good match. Lo and behold, she started dating a guy who was 16 years her junior, and according to some females, one who was the cat's meow. I'm sure there was full "Disclosure" on that age difference and this was "No Small Affair." In fact, in 2005 there was what would some said was an "Indecent Proposal." Some peeps thought they had been "Punk'd" because they wondered why this guy wanted an instant family. They are both good looking people and age IS just a number. However, some speculated this was just a fling during "One Crazy Summer?" Perhaps Demi and Ashton thought every day would be like "Valentine's Day" if they were "Just Married?" So this union began with more fodder for the paparazzi and tabloids.
They did charity work and allegedly shared dinners with Bruce and the kids. All was supposedly bliss until rumors (not the daughter) started circulating that infidelity was in da house! More and more women starting coming forward anxious to talk "About Last Night" while saying they weren't interested in publicity. Funny how people have a tendency to say things like "I just want to be left alone" to TMZ or while posing provocatively in a wet t-shirt in a magazine. This of course as long as said publication is making it rain!! Were these allegations of a"Striptease" accurate? Did Ashton really believe "What Happens in Vegas" stays in Vegas and that there were "No Strings Attached" to these people who love speaking to the tabloids? Was this a "Ghost" of a marriage? Soon, the relationship had a "Scarlett Letter" tattooed on it and the inevitable press release of "we have made the painful decision to blah blah blah blah..." I'm sure one gathered his/her "Personal Effects" and said "It's you, not me" and walked out the door. Key up "Cry Me a River". Do celebrities mourn the demise of relationships with a pint of Ben & Jerry's and the Carpenters playing in the background?
Yes, Ashton no longer has to say "dude, where's my wife?" I feel confident they will both move on to other people as it is "Open Season" for both. I'm sure they will both find something they feel is a "Lot Like Love" and someone will tell Diane Sawyer about it. Why Diane? Because Oprah x-nayed her show.
Best of luck Demi and Ashton!
Nice, very nice!
