100% correcto.

In North America, she's definitely considered a one-hit wonder.

Yes; Hollywood royalty, at least in her own mind. She probably convinced herself that the "civilian" wasn't real competition and therefore nothing to worry about, in order to avoid divorce & maintain her picture-perfect, GOOP-worthy lifestyle.

I know that Gwyneth Paltrow and Liz Hurley have both called normal people 'civilians' in the past.

I had the wrong impression she had some other hits in America, but Wiki says it was really only 'Torn' and a minor hit with 'Wishing I Was There'. Even with a few minor hits, it's not uncommon for someone to be thought of as a one-hit wonder if their major hit was comparatively huge to any other success, and if they're only remembered for that song.

I also think 'gorgeous' points to her - most singers are good looking, but many find Natalie's looks extra noteworthy (although more in the past I think).

Gawd, if this is true, it makes Goopy an even bigger hypocrite for her self-appointed post of lifestyle guru. Maybe Rupert Everett had this situation in mind when he made his catty remark.

This might also explains why Imbruglia and Daniel Johns got unexpectedly divorced a couple of years ago.

Might not, but might!

I originally thought it might be Posh and Becks, but now I'm convinced that you're right about Chris/Gwyneth/Natalie. The "civilian" Lainey refers to could be the London attorney with whom Martin was rumored to have an affair a while back.

[Little Wombat]

I believe Lainey has also used the term "rough patch" in reference to troubles in the Paltrow-Martin marriage over the past year...

[baddoggy]

Becks and Posh

PS. Rough Patch, Happy Ending is not about Sean Penn, Robin Wright, and Natalie Portman.

Could it be Josh Brolin and Diane Lane?

[roslyntaberfan]

I like the Chris/Gwyneth guess, but I initially thought of the Beckham's too.

Lainey inferred at a party in Canada a month or so ago that Diane likes women a lot more than she does men and that any cheating by Josh wouldn't bother her.

A bit of a thread necro, but I think Lainey just cleared up any doubts that this was about Gwyneth and Chris.

Gwyneth humiliated

Star Magazine is definitely not the most trustworthy source. Most of it is bullsh-t. But this is a story that cannot be ignored. The new issue of Star Magazine includes an explosive allegation – Chris Martin cheated on Gwyneth Paltrow with Kate Bosworth. Yes. Her again.

Ordinarily, considering it’s Star, the immediate reaction is to dismiss. But here’s why this report might be different. Because several magazines were investigating it a few days ago. I received calls about it on Saturday from other magazines. Chris and Kate were supposedly kissing in the open at a U2 show in Vegas two weeks ago in plain view. Which means that there was more than one witness. And each witness went to a tabloid. And each tabloid was scrambling to source it. And Star Magazine beat everyone else to the punch.Because their fact checkers are faster? Heh. Needless to say, reps for all three have issued denials. Because reps NEVER EVER lie.

The new issue of Star Magazine hits stands tomorrow. etalk has a special preview tonight. So should we believe it?

Well…

There's precedent. I’ve been telling you about Kate Bosworth. My sources told me she allegedly pursued Jim Sturgess relentlessly during 21 without respecting the fact that he had a girlfriend. She did the same recently with Alexander Skarsgard and Evan Rachel Wood. She does not seem to care. If she wants it, she goes for it. Must be a food deficiency. And of course whatever “happy” makes her happy.

As for Chris Martin… if you’ve been reading this site long enough, you already know about those old rumours. London was buzzing about something with a civilian nearly two years ago and more recently, Chris and Gwyneth hit a rough patch like this before that resulted in a positive resolution. But those were kept undercover. They were not blown out publicly with G plastered all over the papers, embarrassingly portrayed as the jilted, homely wife betrayed for a younger version of herself.

How utterly…common.

And that’s the humiliation, isn’t it? Not only is her husband cheating, but now it’s become supermarket material. Gwyneth’s face alongside Jon & Kate plus 8. In her circle, this s the ultimate insult.

And you hate her so much, you’ll probably say she deserves it. Yeah, Gwyneth deserves a lot of snark, she deserves your derision a lot of the time too. But she doesn’t deserve a prick ass husband and a skank crank hag who always hankers for what doesn’t belong to her.

Watch etalk tonight for more details on what Kate and Chris were doing and how flagrantly they behaved afterwards.
