Yeah, the first one screams Clooney. There was even an interview recently where he talked about all the pain that he's in because of injuries.

Last one: Sting? His son has a band (they opened for the Police reunion tour).

James McCartney was playing in New York recently.

Either are good guesses. Maybe the dad wants the son to make it on his own as a performer?

This famous brother does not get along with his famous brother in law. He recently keyed his car after a family party because the two had been playing a ping-pong game that got out of hand." [BuzzFoto]

Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix? They're brother-in-laws and they each have famous brothers (River, Ben). Now who keyed who?

Or Jake Gyllenhaal and Maggie's husband?

If so it must be a fairly recent falling out because they have been BFF for a gazillion years (Joaquin introduced him to Summer) and they were joint participants in Joaquin falling of the rails hoax.

Sting attended the club gig Fiction Plane did in Vancouver before they opened for him on that tour, and I've always thought they looked pretty close and friendly in pictures I've seen (from that tour, anyway). I haven't heard of any issues between them that would cause something like that. I've had the impression that Sting's been supportive of Joe's band, and Joe has never seemed to want to pimp out his father.

Maybe Casey and Joaquin fell out BECAUSE of that embarrassingly documentary, and how much everyone hated it.

This is what I was thinking. The only other in-laws I can think of is Gylenhaal and Saarsgard and I don't want it to be them.

Yeah, it wasn't the pingpong game...it was the "you're a douche for going along with me on that!" keying.

I know it's not them, but I would love it so much if it was James Haven and Brad Pitt (not technically in-laws, but close enough). The mental picture amuses me.

sobe, I can totally see Brad and James playing a fierce game of ping pong. That would actually be hilarious and cool.

There definitely was some fall out there I think, especially since those rumors/accusations of sexual harassment by Casey also came out of that "film" too.

I wish I were as adept at guessing as I am at cutting and pasting these.

1. "One of my favorite all time divas has herself quite the mouth. She also has certain beliefs about what songs should be played and what songs should not. Our diva used to be A list back in the day and is probably still and will always be a B list. She is also a nominee/winner of the big one. Anyway she was at a club and this disco version of a classic song comes on. Our diva goes over to the DJ and starts screaming at him. Oh, this is after she has hurled a cocktail glass at him and the glasses of all her companions. 'Don't you ever play that fucking song again. If you do, I will have you fired. She is turning over in her grave.' She then went back to the table and did a line of coke." [CDaN]

2. "These two performers had a hot fling years ago. Now they are both 'happily' married to other people… and they are having another hot fling with each other! They are very quietly trying to book a project together so that they will have a legitimate excuse for spending time together. If they succeed, watch for them to express surprise that the other is committed to the project as well, to express only mild pleasure that they will be working together, and to act like it's no big deal. If their spouses knew what was really going on, though, believe us, it would be a very big deal!" [Blind Gossip]

If Whitney hadn't died I would say her for #1.

tothemax Thu Mar 01, 2012 5:46 pm

Mariah for the first one? Based on nothing other than my desire for it to be her? Sure, why not.

mokey75 Thu Mar 01, 2012 8:36 pm

I want it to be Celine Dion so badly.

Eris Rising Thu Mar 01, 2012 8:38 pm

For the second, I'll say either Gwyneth and Brad, or (less likely) Gwyneth and Ben. Because either would amuse me.

I was thinking Matt and Ben. Heh.

I wouldn't describe Gwyn's relationship with Brad or Ben as a "hot fling" both lasted for a few years.

Still, it amuses me enough to think that the writer is being somewhat misleading until proven otherwise. My faith in my random weird ideas is unshakeable.

"The big one" indicates Oscar to me, so I'm going with...former nominee Diana Ross. Why the hell not?

From Lainey:

She’s supposed to be the doting mother. Ask the people who help her with her kids. They certainly don’t agree.

First of all she’s never around. And when she’s present she’s distant, not only not involved, but almost irresponsible about it. One of her children may have developmental challenges. As such, diet can exacerbate the issue. Since she can only spend so much time with her children, and often slotted in like appointments in her schedule, she doesn’t bother observing the food requirements that can help with the child’s behaviour. Mom supplies junk food because it’s quick and dirty so that she can get out of there that much faster. When the kid acts out because of the sh-t he’s just consumed, she’s incapable of dealing with it and takes off anyway.

It’s left then to the staff to raise her family. How does she treat them? Nannies’ cell phones are confiscated at 8am and not returned until 10pm. There’s a trusting and kind working environment, non? Totally encourages loyalty.

As you expect, bosses like this always play favourites. Her favourite? Curiously enough, it’s the bodyguard. He’s been seen rubbing her feet. Of course that had nothing to do with the separation ...even though the foot massages have been happening for a while now.

It’s not Gwyneth Paltrow.

To me, this one is Cher. It's SO Cher, it's not even funny.

Kate Gosselin. I don't know that anyone would ever call her "doting," but she lives about 10 minutes away from me and I can't stand her, so I prefer to think it's her even if it wouldn't exactly be much of a shock if it were. (Geez, run-on sentence, why don't I?)
