  • When the world sends you lemons - make lemonade!
Richard Marx marries Daisy Fuentes over the holiday.  They've been dating for about a year.  He divorced Cynthia Rhodes - his wife of 25 years and the mother of his 3 kids in 2014.

Sounds - MLC-ish to me.

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20803475,00.html

Quote from the article on the divorce -

The announcement was initially made on Friday's episode of Katie. "Well, you're back on the market," Katie Couric said. "How are you feeling about dating?"  "It's all brand new to me, so I'm just having fun," Marx replied. While he did admit that recently turning 50 had had an effect on him, he insisted he wasn't having a midlife crisis.

Well, maybe he isn't having an MLC.... as he INSISTS that he isn't.

  • Strength and honour are her clothing;
A politician from the UK has caused serious controversy by sexting a 17 year old girl. He has been twice married and met second wife whilst married to first wife. D'd second wife this year after V. short marriage and has been caught out texting younger women including this 17 yr old. I am fairly convinced he is in MLC as the first wife has been very forthcoming in her bitter tirade about his behaviour during their marriage. This morning politician announced that he "was lonely and drunk when he sent those texts"  No genuine apology but a massive pity party - smacks very much of MLC..

Second wife was co-worker in the political office when they met and has a chequered history too as this was her third marriage. Sounds all too typical.

Rowan Atkinson ( Blackadder and Mr Bean ) in case any one from the outside of the UK is not sure.

60 yrs old - left his wife and Dd her suddenly and has moved his 32 year old girlfriend into home 2 weeks after D. Sound familiar?

However I had to chuckle at the radio presenter who said - " It matters little about the age difference really - I feel sorry for the girl  because she is now living with Mr Bean"

I don't think he realised exactly how ironic his words were.......

Thurston Moore Finds It ‘Really Strange’ He’s Blamed for Breaking Up Sonic Youth

Speaking of the old days, I really liked the concept behind the book you curated and edited in 2005, Mixtape: The Art of the Cassette Culture. It seems extra poignant now that the art form is all but dead. What inspired you to get involved in that project?

I got inspired by going up to the office of the publisher (Eva Prinz, now Moore’s girlfriend) to pitch some ideas for different books on music. She had this project on her desk and she asked me if I would take over, so I did. Basically I called everybody I knew who had mixtapes, collected all these different images and collaborated with her to put this book together. We’ve been together ever since, so I love the book just for that reason too.

I bold that particular part because of course he and Kim Gordon didn't split up until 2011 and their divorce was final 2014. This book he produced with his now-girlfriend that he's been with since they worked together was in 2005!

I thought of Anjae when I saw this (more MLCer drama in the rest of the article) because I know you said once MrJ is occasionally in the same circles as these two. The pictures of her in the article are also typical affair down fare. Kim, however, still rocks!

Don't forget Johnny depp and ronni wood!

I hate the way the media makes it all sound romantic and lovely. All I can think of are the poor wives and families left behind!

I read Kim's book last summer, it was really good.  Definitely sounded like MLC to me.  And she does indeed rock!

Yes Ready2, occasionally those two are on the same circles- They have even meet a few times, Thurston, his girlfriend, Mr J and OW2, in Lisbon's music and nightlife circle. 

Physically, and mostly the hair, the girlfriend reminds me a little bit of Mr J OW1, the original alienator. Not that they have ever publish anything together. The way she is holding/grabbing Thurston's shirt and hidding her face in his chest reminds me of photos of Mr J and OW2. And the bloated Thurston is not far from the bloated Mr J.

Clearly, this guys go from a strong woman on their level to someone weak, and much below them. Affair down all the way.

Poor Thurston, he finds it strange that he is blamed for breaking up Sonic Youth. After all, it was Kim's fault, right?  ::)  Or maybe it was Lee Ranaldo's fault?  ::) Kim rocks!

Johnny Deep is not having a MLC, Serenity. He is on an artistic quest to find his inner Peter Pan and doing, with the exception of Black Mass, really not so good films. Johnny is an artist, artists don't have MLC, they explore new avenues.  :P ::) ;D

And this was just after he was linked with Jennifer Garner: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/12/31/jennifer-garner-and-patrick-dempsey-reportedly-dating/

Grass not greener, especially when she still has unfinished business with Ben Affleck as well!

No it will not.  8)

Doubt she is going to let the Ben go. Too much money in the game. And, for her, without Ben most likely loss of fame. http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/jennifer-garner-ben-affleck-marriage-trouble-divorce/

This may not a direct MLC case but you could see that the seeds were planted long before his playing career.  So sorry to see how Johnny Manziel has fallen so far!
