The girl has stepped up to the woman plate! Today she released the following statement:
"It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton. As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life. This is a trying time for me and my family, and so I would ask for the same compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation."
I will blog about this tomorrow. Please revisit then. In the meantime, feel free to express your opinions regarding the end of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's union.
Ah, man. I don't even know where to start with these two. Let me start by saying that the above picture speaks volumes.
As I do, let me give a little background information about the union of Sean Penn and Madonna before I share my deepest thoughts and feelings about their relationship. For those of you that don't know, to date, Madonna and Sean Penn are categorized as one of the most toxic celebrity couples of all time. Toxic is an understatement. They were married for four very tumultuous years. Their union finally came to a halt after one abhorrent night.
The story goes a little something like this. Sean and Madonna had been fighting as usual. He went over to her house in Malibu intoxicated beyond comprehension and they started to argue. He tied her up to a chair, threatened to cut off her hair and slapped her around. He finally agreed to untie her in exchange for performing a dirty sex act. Finally, she somehow managed to escape to her car where she called the police. This ordeal lasted several hours. This was the worst of Sean and Madonna. Before that, their relationship wasn't necessarily gumdrops and lollipops. It was reported that before this incident, he once hit her over the forehead with a baseball bat.
With that background information shared, let me get into what I was going to talk about.
Can you imagine knowing these two while they were together? They were the type of couple that upon visiting, they would make you feel completely uncomfortable by arguing in front of you. Hopefully you've never had to encounter such a couple before. Unfortunately, I have.
My old roommate and his girlfriend reminded me a lot of Sean and Madonna. When I would hear them fighting through the walls of our house, I knew they were doing it for me. They wanted an audience, you see. They didn't care that it was me that they were fighting in front of or people on the streets. They got off on the fact that they were crushing each other's egos in the presence of another, for they blatantly loathed each other. So why were they together in the first place? Well, lets get back on subject, why were Sean and Madonna together in the first place?
Sean and Madonna were two huge personalities that couldn't stand being one-up'd, if you will. It was a constant battle to knock one another down. What else did they have to live for at the time? Sean was already established as an actor and Madonna was on the tipping point of making her mark in pop culture. For the two people that they were, they were perfect for each other in their own messed up way.
I like to believe that they drew ambition from one another. In any relationship, it's great to be with someone who inspires you to be all that you can. Sean and Madonna were on the high end of this concept. Finally, a point came when each realized that they could never win the battle but Sean was the one to lose his shit over the fact.
A lesson can be learned from Madonna and Sean. Your partner in life can inspire you but if it goes that far, it's time to call it quits. It will never work.
I will end by saying that domestic violence is disturbing, intolerable, deplorable and all the negative adjectives that you can come up with. Never should one be objectified to physical harm over differing perspectives in a situation.
Years ago one night, I was unable to sleep so I turned on the television where I came across a documentary on the IFC. The documentary was actually a very interesting look at Scientology. Interesting in the sense that the documentary somehow managed to portray the people featured as victims rather than crazies. I learned lots of new things about Scientology that I had not previously been informed about by John Travolta or Jenna Elfman via interviews. There were three topics brought to light in the documentary that really grabbed my attention for different reasons. 1) There is a spaceman out there that is going to save me someday by picking me in a great big spaceship. 2) A lot of elderly people in the United States have lost their entire life savings to the Church of Scientology. 3) Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman had a great big field of flowers man made for them by workers of the church for the sole purpose of fulfilling their ultimate fantasy as a couple - running through a field of flowers while holding hands.
I'm here to address #3 but before I do, let me give you some more details. According to this documentary, Tom Cruise had been a member of the Church of Scientology before he met Nicole Kidman. By the time they got married, she also became a follower. Because Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, he knew the head honcho of the Church. Tom and Nicole for whatever reason shared their ultimate couple fantasy with this man and he made it a reality for them.
Members of the church worked hard at creating a field for Tom and Nicole. Very hard. It was reported that members of the church would work rotating shifts, 24/7 until the field was complete, even working in the pouring rain. Ultimately, it was completed and Tom and Nicole flew in from wherever they were and lived out their wildest fantasy.
The best part about this documentary was that it wasn't focused on celebrities. Tom and Nicole were just a random discussion topic that were brought up.
It's rumored that Tom and Nicole ended because Nicole wasn't as devoted to Scientology as Tom was. Whatever the reason, I don't know what to think about either of them after hearing that story.
Hugh Hefner is the original P-I-M-P. Don't get me wrong. In no way do I condone the objectification of women by any means but the man is a business genius. From a $1000 loan from his mother, he created an empire out of something that that had been a taboo since almost the beginning of time - sex. He was the pioneer in the notion that sex sells and he made it work, which took a lot of determination, pizzazz, smart thinking, and good strategy. For that he deserves my respect. I respect anyone who follows through with a dream because dreams are not easy to obtain.
I'm not hear to talk about business. I'm here to talk about Holly and Hef. For those of you that don't know, Holly was a homely looking girl from Alaska with a dream of her own. After a plane ticket to LA, a dye job, new boobs and an invite to a party at the Playboy mansion, Holly found herself in the presence of Mr. Hefner. For whatever reason, Hef was smitten with Holly and she soon became one of his his three girlfriends at the time. Then things got serious.
Eventually, Holly became Hugh Hefner's "number one girl", aka his only girlfriend, who Hugh had committed to being in a serious, monogamous relationship with. People seemed genuinely happy for them. It was Hugh's first serious relationship since his most recent ex-wife and people seemed to really take a liking to Holly.
To me, Holly was a great girlfriend to Hef. Sure, he's who he is and she's who she is but I personally believe that she really loved the guy. Perhaps she had ill intentions at first but I do believe that she really grew to love the man. That's a whole topic on it's own which I'm not going to get into.
What I will get into is that all Holly wanted in exchange for her love and devotion to Hugh was a ring, but more importantly some babies. She made this quite clear to both the press and to her man. She was over 30 years old and her biological clock was ticking. She also shared with the press that she would not stay in the relationship with Hugh Hefner unless he could live up to her expectations.
Time passed and Hugh never did propose nor did he provide her children so she said good-bye. Good for her. The girl made me very proud when she did that. Obviously it must have not been an easy decision to make but she stood her ground and I was very impressed by that.
So remember at the beginning of this post when I said that I respected Hugh? Well all that changed when he did the unthinkable. He proposed to Crystal Harris! It's funny how one's actions can overshadow all their good.
I won't bother posting a picture of Crystal Harris as I don't think she's worthy of such an honor. So to recap, Holly and Hef were together for approximately six years. Not less than a few months later, he proposed to this Crystal girl. When I heard this my heart broke for Holly.
Moral of story: men can be such assholes but good for Holly on not giving up on her priorities in life no matter how great she thought Hugh was. Since she was arguably successful with her dreams of making it in Hollywood, then I'm confident that she'll fulfill her dreams of becoming a mother but this time with a deserving man.
I will end by informing those of you that don't know that Crystal Harris dumped Hugh Hefner one day before their scheduled nuptials. If that's not karma then I don't know what is.
And for those of you thinking that maybe Hugh and Holly will rekindle, don't bother - she's too smart for that as she knows he doesn't come close to deserving a second chance with her.
Have you seen this girl? Do you know who she is? If so, please contact authorities in Washington, her home state, so that they can put her into state custody of foster parents that don't allow their sixteen year old daughter to marry a fifty-one year old man and become a complete slut in the process. I don't like using the word slut, but she calls for it.
This is Courtney Stodden and she is the prime example as to why little girls should no grow up to idealize Paris Hilton and the like.
For those of you that don't know, she was a nice girl from Washington who had bad parenting and in turn ended up marrying some 51 year old actor that starred in the movie, "The Green Mile" and was on some episodes of the show, "Lost". They met because she attended a work shop that he put on and from there, they somehow ended up getting married.
This is what she looked like before she married the guy.
Courtney and her screwed up in the head husband have shocked America with their union. Why? I think it's because they feel sorry for this poor seventeen year old that is essentially being statutory raped every night. Fine, she claims that she's in love and that she happily obliged to marrying someone older than her actual Father but I don't buy it for a second.
The frontal lobe of the brain enables the average human to have the ability to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions, to choose between good and bad actions, override and suppress unacceptable social responses, and determine similarities and differences between things or events. The frontal lobe also plays an important role in retaining long term memories associated with emotions, and modifies those emotion to generally fit socially acceptable norms.
The frontal lobe does not fully develop until age 25. With that said, now we can all feel more sorry for this girl. Someone save her.
And now, I present to you Anderson Cooper essentially agreeing with me.
And finally, I present to you what the poor girl has become. A mockery. This is not funny, it's terribly sad.
