Tom and Katie, Gere and Crawford

[AgentOrange]

Now that the Tom and Katie thing is blowing up to ridiculous proportions, does anyone remember when the same rumours started circulating about Gere and Crawford, back when they were an early 90's 'Supercouple'?

Cindy was supposedly a bi, or 'lipstick lesbian', while the rumours were that Gere showed up in emergency wards every so often, escorting young men with ruptured colons.

They married to protect their images, so the story goes. They even took out a full page ad in the London Times, to officially deny their homosexuality. That was shortly before their bust up. Cindy said after that she thought the ad was a mistake.

That would explain why Cindy is none to concerned that hubby Rande Gerber is running around on her, and might even explain why he's running around on her.

By the way, Gere and Crawford met at one of Sir Elton John's Hollywood parties. Nuff said.

Incidentally, Gere's new wife, former LAw and Oder beauty Cary Loweel (meaning formerly of LaLw and Order, not formerly beautiful), has done a "Katie Holmes". She converted to Buddhism for hubby Gere, and even allowed Gere pal and spiritual mentor, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, to perform secret buddhist blessing rituals over her unborn childern.

Cary seems to have lost her zest for acting after the Gere marriage. She still appears occasionally on Law and Order, as a female judge, though not neccesarily the same character she played on the hit NBC show years ago. Still lovely Cary will never have to work again, as the wife of Richard Gere, and the mother of his children. I'm sure he'll take better care of her financially, than "Sex and thge City" has of fellow LAO alum Chris "Mr Big" Noth.

Yeah hollywood is the fakest most phoneyest place on earth!

They're all freak shows honestly....

*sigh* The problem with these people who ACT and MODEL (i.e., role play w/o talking) is they don't know who the hell they are b/c they're constantly playing someone else.

No wonder they embrace these cultish religions like Scientology--these religions probably provide these hair-brained identity-less celebs a sense of structure and therefore, security. And b/c most religions have established rules for behavior and beliefs, celebs don't have to think for themselves. It does seem like it's a "trend" lately to openly embrace some religion or philosophy.

there was a story going around that richard gere slept his way to the top (with men) and when he got there, he dismissed this lover of his. then his career went downhill....

wasn't richard gere who was rumoured to get checked in a hospital with some kind of animal stuck up in his anus? does anyone remember this story?

[cheray]

Richard Gere was the most gorgeous thing in "Breathless"
Gay???You're kidding me? Small animals inserted and stuck?? WT????

[NurseNoir]

[ohmygoodness]

Richard Gere has always resembled a rabbit to me...

I live in San Francisco and for what it's worth, know somebody who has a relative who is an emergency room nurse, this person did confirm to us that he was admitted with a gerbil up his butt

This apparently is/was a common thing for gays to do, which horrifies me cause it kills the poor gerbils

[snakebread]

Ok, as a medical professional I have to explain that the poor gerbil (or mouse, or whatever) has an enticingly erotic scratching in the rectum of people as the poor dying animal has its death throes.


Which is more than can be said for the most recent chinchilla on J Lo's body.

I always heard that the gerbil thing was a myth (for pretty much anyone, not just Mr Gere). Like, that there's never been one documented case of doctors removing a gerbil from someone.

I dunno, but it was on snopes or some site like that.

[SVZ]

wouldn't it rip your intestines to shreds??? i heard that your intestines aren't exactly that strong...like the consistency of jello or something

[Palermo]

maybe it doesn't have that much strength because it's being suffocated to death? I've heard they are inside a plastic bag or something. It's not anything I really want to think about or imagine.

That's an excellent point. It's the price played for playing the game, or a side effect in any case.
