The way I see it when celebrity news first breaks the best course of action is to believe the exact opposite of what you hear (or read)… especially if the information is coming directly from the star involved in the story.
For instance, about six weeks ago I wrote a blog about a budding romance between former Melrose Place stars Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner. The pair had recently been photographed getting cozy at various L.A. hotspots. However, mention the word “dating” to the actor and actress and they would reportedly have a hissy fit.
The couple vehemently denied to reporters that they were anything more than “just friends.” They called rumors of the contrary “outrageous” and frankly, I believed them. I figured it was wishful thinking on the part of the tabloids as Wagner is much easier on the eyes than David Spade (Locklear’s reported muse following her split with rocker husband Richie Sambora).
Fast forward to today. PEOPLE magazine is now reporting that Locklear and Wagner are “in a good place.” A Locklear pal also reportedly told the magazine, “It’s great to see (Heather) with someone who appreciates her.”
PEOPLE also photographed the couple cuddling and holding hands in a golf cart while they were attending a recent celebrity golf tournament.
Personally, I don’t see what the big deal is—what’s to hide? They’re both single…
While were at it… let’s put another celebrity couple rumor to rest.
Sadly, this one is fact: actors Jennifer Esposito and Bradley Cooper have separated after just four months of marriage.
According to TV’s “Access Hollywood,” Esposito filed for divorce two days ago in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences.
Esposito (who appeared in last year’s Best Picture Oscar winner Crash) and Cooper (who appeared in last summer’s Wedding Crashers) got married last December following a 2-month engagement.
Cooper’s rep released this statement after word got out that Esposito filed divorce papers:
“The divorce was mutual and they’ve been separated for quite a while.”
Separated for quite a while? When did they split up? The day after the honeymoon?
