Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow split up

Well, it rocked my world, I assumed they were too dumb to recognise each other's dumbness to get it together to split.



Now they run the risk of making four people miserable.
 
yer of course - but I would be interested in how much their work affects their relationships (and interesting how it affect their kids). I'm sure people who have partners who are away for long periods of time might have similar issues.

Not only that; their work usually involves long onscreen kisses with other hot actors, probably with lots of takes.

eg Gwyneth and Jake Gyllenhaal:

Normally I would say that they should stay together, because they could make two other people very unhappy. However, since they've already made potentially millions of other people very unhappy, I don't give a fuck.

A friend made a small speech at our wedding saying "thank you for getting married so that you don't inflict yourselves on other people".
Another friend made a toast "to the two least annoying people I know" :hmm:
 
((((Nena)))) :(

Last time Greebo and I were in Germany, he was on TV trying to convince "the kids" that he and his music are still relevant. :facepalm: :D

Well, so sheeeee said! (I have a bit of a soft spot for her; the music is nostalgia inducing as it is but she really went up in my estimation when she talked about the loss of her first child and how she feels about that at times (her incredulity yet acceptance at “That has really happened to me?”)
One of my brothers was really into Udo Lindenberg. I have a memory of him, when probably about 16 years old (so I would have been nine years old), and my mother having a massive argument/battle of wills over UL (have I told this story on here before?). Brother had turned up the music really loudly – probably to Elf – and my mother was turning it down; and it went up and down and up and down. Much staring was done. I was sitting on the settee, mesmerized – probably open mouthed and my spectacles sliding down my nose (I also had a lazy eye so one would have been covered by a plaster). My mother actually said that the lyrical content was utter nonsense and the equivalent to her singing: “I am standing in the kitchen, cutting carrots!”

ETA I did my mother injustice; I have just remembered that she said: "I am standing in the kitchen, cooking a soup and I am cutting carrots into it."

I would also like to add a caveat to the last sentence in the first paragraph. I am pretty sure I would feel differently about that if I had the misfortune to lose a child.

When Britney Spears shaved her head and got a tattoo i put a thread up about it - oh, the gang-savaging i got on these boards *shudder*

I don't remember the thread, but do remember briteny doing that.... In all fairness I though fair play to her, if I could afford to shave my head, get a tattoo, go on a massive binge and lose my shit in public, I probably would.
 
Conscious Uncoupling. FFS! Can't they just separate, like normal people?

A BBC article explains her usage and what it refers to. It's a nice sentiment in my opinion because they have kids.

I didn't like 'Breakfast' mocking and making a joke (referring to trains) about it after they'd finished telling us about it. A couple and their kids are facing a tough emotional time, perfect opportunity to make light of them and what they are going through. :rollseyes:

I read the explanation and yeah, it is a nice sentiment and if it's the reality then brilliant. Kids seeing their parents have an amicable, friendly break-up can only be a good thing.

I think Martin is a sanctimonious pillock but I quite like Gwyneth despite her tendency to smugness.

She seems like she's a good laugh, maybe she's bored rigid.

They're both pretentious prats. Why do they have to make a public statement about a private matter, at all?

Because there's been gossip about them for several months, rumours of affairs and a long running dispute with Vanity Fair over an article they were planning to publish about Gwyneth and their marriage. They have actually had a very private marriage compared to most celeb couples.

I can't quite believe I'm defending them but I apparently am. :D

They're just such cunts about it though :D

I've heard/ read gossip for about 10 years about problems.

I feel a bit sorry for them and their kids, don't really care though.
 
I'm sorry for anyone whose marriage ends, especially if children are involved, but even their breakup is Paltrow-Martin dull.
 
They were Hollywood actress and dreary pop star when they met. Now they're lifestyle guru and tv show panelist. Perhaps they bring down each other's cred or somesuch important to former A listers.

Neither need to work any more. Praps they are just doing what makes them happy and the odd celeb duty to keep their careers simmering.

IMO they've done such a good job of not courting the celebrity couple media circus that I didn't even know they were married until this announcement that they aren't going to be any more.
