Hugh Jackman has never come across as anything but a sweet, decent guy who loves Deb very much. Screw the age difference, and whoever said she's not attractive enough can fuck right off.

Yep. Regardless of what anyone else things, she is the most beautiful woman in the world to her husband. I have never seen anything that makes me think he is not 100% in love with her and her with him. They are one of my favorite celeb love stories because they are happy and don't seem to have a rats ass to give to anyone who tries to claim otherwise. 

I would only hate her out of pure jealously, and I can't even really hate her because they are so great together. grrrrr

I remember an article I read a long time ago where Hugh said that every time he gets a role he takes his leading lady out to dinner with his wife so they can get to know each other and it won't be uncomfortable. He said that every single time they decide after 20 minutes that they like his wife more than him and he sits there memorizing the menu while they spend the night bonding. So she seems like a pretty good person. Do I unconsciously stan Deborah Lee Furness? Apparently.

don't think rumors about Travolta have anything to do with Kelly Preston's hotness or lack of same, they're more based on the masseurs, pilots, and cruise line workers who've complained about being groped and harassed by him. If any third parties have made such allegations about Hugh Jackman, I'm not aware of it.

Right.  As with many people online that have rumors about them, there are people who claim to know he has sex with men as second or third hand stories so that just reinforces people's belief in the rumors.  I don't believe there have been any first hand accounts. 

But whatever.  Even if it were true, that still wouldn't negate his marriage given that bisexuality, open marriages and even cheating are real things that exist in this world. 

That is really sad for John and Crissy.   Even though I don't follow them, it was hard not to be excited for them given how much difficulty they had getting pregnant in the past and how this was a surprise baby.

What a shame. It was just such a horrible coincidence that when she was finally able to conceive after trying for so long, it happened when she was having surgery, & the pregnancy test came up negative even though she was pregnant.  As soon as I heard that she was pregnant through her surgery, I didn't think it would end well.

Chadwick Boseman used some of his own salary to make sure that Sienna Miller was paid an appropriate (by Hollywood standards) salary. The more I learn about him, the more I admire him. Why do good people die young and horrible people get to live long and inflict pain?

I am not sure how I feel about this one. On the one hand it certainly shows what a decent person he was. On the other hand how much cash does the studio making that movie have? And yet he is the one who had to take a pay cut so she could get paid.

That had nothing to do with what happened with this pregnancy.  There can be risks to general anesthesia in early pregnancy, but Chrissy has said that this was a problem with her placenta which makes sense given the ongoing bleeding she was having.  That is not caused by anesthesia.  She said she has had issues with poor placental function in her other pregnancies, too.

I didn’t imply that it did. A poster asked what surgery she had which she has been very open about discussing just like she has with the issues related to her pregnancy.

Sorry, I should've been more clear that I was responding to another poster's concern that her breast surgery, which happened either before she conceived or so soon after conception that her pregnancy test wasn't positive yet, was the cause of the loss of this pregnancy.  Women feel guilty enough when a pregnancy is lost tragically; I just wanted to make it clear that there is no research to indicate that having surgery at that point would lead to a second trimester pregnancy loss.

While, of course, the important issues are that the baby and her mother are happy and healthy, I hope she doesn't grow to resent her parents for that name. I mean the first name is a bit of a mouthful and virtually the only nicknames I can think of that could come from it would be 'Sovvy' or 'Reigny' neither one being the most euphonious or smoothest out there.

I'll counter those with an uncorroborated third hand story of my own. One of my Australian friends said that Jackman was persistently trying to get one of his female friends into bed ages ago, before he was famous or had met his wife. (She turned him down, which I can only imagine zoomed to the top spot of her lifelong regrets list years later...)

That’s not even a novel thing. On The Big Bang Theory, Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco all took paycuts so that Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik could get raises because the network wouldn’t cough it up.

Simon and Kanul also took a pay cut with the other three. It’s not new it’s just bullshit that studios have made this a thing with their compensation policies. Particularly for a show like TBBT which still makes a shitton of money for them.

Somebody on twitter just recently had a thread about that.  Some they included:

Sheila E. is Nicole Richie's aunt

Shaquille O'Neal and Bill Bellamy are cousins

Al Roker and Lenny Kravitz are second cousins (Al and Lenny's mother, Roxie were first cousins)

Brandy, Snoop Dogg and Sasha Banks (WWE wrestler) are all first cousins

Or they could just make things easy & call her by her middle name, Bo. And there are other girls whose name is Bo (or Bow, etc.). Of course the only 1 I can think of is fictional: Tracee Ellis Ross’ character in Black-ish. I don’t watch the show but I guess I picked up a lot about it from the media anyway. On the show, Ms. Ross’s character’s first name, I believe, is “Rainbow”, but she goes by “Bow”, I think.

This is certainly their choice to do this, & I don't do social media, so maybe I don't have the mindset, but I do not understand how Chrissy Teigen & John Legend would want to post these photos after losing their baby. Not only post the photos, but they are obviously not selfies, so they had a photographer there taking those photos.

Many do and many who have been in similar situations but haven’t felt comfortable grieving their loss in public have praised Chrissy and John for being open with their grief and loss because so many go through this in silence because of societal blame/shame and people being total and complete assholes. Chrissy lives her entire life on SM, I don’t understand why she also wouldn’t share her sorrow and loss.
