Love in the age of Perseverance

It’s all about the look of love today, so why not begin with one guy who will never give up, never surrender.  Congratulations to Gary Oldman on his fourth bridal waltz – if at first you don’t succeed … play some super villains, every girl has a thing for the bad boys.  Was anyone else surprised by the prolific nature of his hitching?  Then you’ll probably be shocked to hear that number two was Uma Thurman.  What can I say Uma?  You have eclectic taste.

So here’s to love … with a touch of perseverance.  Lucky number four is a 31 year old jazz singer called Alexandra Edenborough.  I can’t help but like Oldman, he clearly doesn’t take himself too seriously (just see his costume in The Fifth Element).  Plus, he said yes to a role in Harry Potter, before realising his character would get killed off, which is perfectly understandable, I mean not a lot of people actually read Harry Potter anyway.

In other love lines…

-          Hugh Hefner is so cool about his ex girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson getting married that he’s hosting the wedding at the Playboy mansion.  It’ll be Hugh, Kendra, Hank and an intimate collection of intimates.  I haven’t seen a more open-minded group of people, since Bruce Willis joined Ashton and Demi for a Vanity Fair photo shoot.

-          Carmen Electra also loves a wedding (she’s had two herself).  She has some sage words for any pair (or group, if your name is Kendra) planning nuptials – don’t get married in Vegas.  A quote from People magazine?  “Do not get married at the drive-thru in Vegas, especially. Take your time – enjoy it!”  She also notes that the whole exercise involves a lot of paperwork.  So I guess we can add that to the list of reasons for why Brangelina are currently refraining – environmental concerns.  Thanks Carmen.

-          Speaking of marriage, relationships … and Brangelina … Jennifer Aniston has an old fashioned solution.  Dogs are better companions.  Something to do with unconditional love and the fact that they’re always excited to see you.  Jen loves them back too – her dog Norman (great name) has massage therapy and acupuncture each week valued at $250. Someone call World Vision and ask them what that equates to.

-          Now to the Bleeding Love … or rather the Bleeding Unnecessary.  Leona Lewis is writing her autobiography.  So’s Miley. That doesn’t make it a good idea.  I don’t think we’re going to find out anything new or starkly revealing from her 23 years of life so far.  Leona, as it turns out, is 4 days older than me – is it possible that given an extra 4 days I too could have the kind of wisdom that needs to be shared in book form?

-          Finally, to one relationship we are all deeply invested in.  Paris and Lindsay have patched things up – if you’re feeling emotional at this revelation just turn to the person next to you and hug them, they’ll understand once you explain.  The Paris quote from Glamour?  “I saw her a month ago and she was really sweet and seemed really happy and we’re all adults now.”  Maturity seems to be a late blooming gene among the heiress/starlet set.  Go on, hug again.  I know you want to.
