Wikipedia -is an interesting source and this version may be based in truth but I am simply paraphrasing from a BBC documentary on the Beatles that I watched recently following the anniversary of Lennon's death.

Wikipedia notoriously gets things wrong. I listened to an interview  with a very well established British actor who said that Wiki gave him the wrong date of birth, wrong birthplace, a middle name he didn't have and he had a "wife" who he had worked with once but certainly never married. The "wife" was an actress who tried to correct this on Wiki and was told that the source was unimpeachable so therefore she was lying when she said that she wasn't married to him.

Tim Minchin (writer of Matilda the show fame) also said that Wiki had put false facts about him in. He couldn't be bothered to correct them and was thinking of writing a musical about Wikipedia!!!!

Sigh.  Another one.  And this involves an actress I like as the OW....

"In fact, he had already arranged and sent out invitations for a surprise 40th birthday party for his wife, Kerry Bradley, when he dramatically cancelled everything and announced their 20-year relationship was over."

Now this is what I call a MLC! People we like, in real life or famous ones, can become a MLCer and also be the OW/OM.

‘Everyone assumed they were so in love – and that’s clearly what he wanted everyone to think when he began arranging Kerry’s surprise birthday party. Kerry has been very brave, but two years later she’s still recovering. She’s furious not just at Tom but at Jessica too for being with her husband, and now getting to know her kids too."

Think around here we're very familiar with this situation.

‘And she can’t help observing the irony of how Tom first met Jessica – when he was playing a husband having a mid-life crisis, and Jessica was playing a wild young temptress.’

The irony... How on earth someone famous and whose life is going to be all over the map accepts to be a permanent OW (a normal affair is different) is beyond me.

She's in LURVE don't you know.

We know the outcome - let's just wait and watch!!

This is a tv show rather than news or a celebrity but-does anyone watch Switched at Birth?  It sort of looks to me like they might be setting Katherine(Lea Thompson) up for a MLC.  Wouldn't that be great to have it recognized somewhere?

Been watching the history programmes and like RCR suggests I believe that Henry VIII had had an MLC. He rejected Catherine of Aragon after 20 years (under the pretext that the marriage was false and that he had never loved her) in favour of Anne Boleyn.
She played a very skilful game and, if the stories are to be believed refused to sleep with Henry until he had found a way to set Catherine aside legally.
And yet - look how quickly she fell from grace!

Interesting that Henry never chucked Catherine out from the palace - she had separate quarters and even when he was after marrying his other wives - he never forgot her and by all accounts recognised her with greater esteem than his other wives.

I read about this one yesterday. Further proof that the affair down may be accomplished, but still brings the cray-cray:

Here's an interesting read about Mel Gibson

A Journalist’s Plea To Take Mel Gibson Off Hollywood's Blacklist
http://movies.yahoo.com/news/journalist-plea-10th-anniversary-passion-christ-hollywood-mel-214854535.html

Here's the thing that piqued my interest...

During his breakup with Grigorieva, he’d gone through a terrible emotional breakdown and struggled to get healthy, gain joint custody of his infant daughter and deal with the fallout from the publication of those awful tapes. He was in a very bad place and we talked for some time about how difficult it was for him to deal with the pain he’d inflicted on his family — his ex-wife Robyn and his seven children, his infant daughter. He got so upset talking about that period in his life that he ended our call abruptly. He’d shared some very deep, personal feelings with me and was in so much pain, that I was honestly worried about him.

Boy oh boy he REALLY blew it in my eyes...Charlie Sheen is an idiot- Mel Gibson?

WOW all those beautiful children... a long term marriage what else could that guy want??

His success must have gotten the better of him. Or he had to do something else before he died...

[trusting]

Interesting, DaRealist.  I read that earlier today.  He is one of the very, very few celebrities that I personally think has really had an MLC (most others I think are just behaving badly because they can).  I keep watching to see what shows up about him. He is definitely far enough into it to be un-MLCing.  I wonder if Robyn will have anything to do with him?
