The People Celebrities Marry
By Josh Board | Posted November 7, 2009, 11:28 a.m.
I remember a time, well over 10 years ago, when I dated a woman who told me her last boyfriend was a guy that was currently playing power forward/center for the Phoenix Suns. It was a player I liked.
The subject had come up over dinner when we started talking about basketball (I'm such a great conversationalist with the ladies).
I had gone out with another woman on a blind date. My friends little sister thought we'd be perfect together, since we both loved The Doors (we had absolutely nothing else in common).
She ended up being a complete wacko. I won't go into all the reasons why. But, I was told by our friend that whatever I do, I shouldn't bring up Steve Poltz. She had been a big Rugburns fan and dated him briefly and it ended badly.
So, we're having dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe in La Jolla, and a song by Nerf Herder came on. It sounded a lot like Steve Poltz. She got this look on her face and said, "Who is singing this?" I told her it was Nerf Herder. She replied, "It sounds like Steve Poltz." And before I could even finish the sentence "I know, I thought the same thing when I first heard it," she was interrupting to say "I slept with him before."
There was a few seconds of silence, as I was wondering why my friend had told me not to bring his name up and she brought up something as inappropriate as that.
I simply said "You must be so proud."
I was thinking about those two "relationships" lately. That's because a few of the entertainment magazines have done stories about celebrities and the famous people that had previously dated.
One showed the woman Mel Gibson recently had his 9th child with. She apparently used to date former James Bond Timothy Dalton (who I think did one of the best Bond movies ever). They have a 12-year-old son together.
Bruce Willis had taken a page out of ex-wife Demi Moore's playbook and married someone much younger. She's 22-years-younger. And this model has a list of former famous folks she dated.
She was 21 when she dated a 47-year-old Italian businessman (who had dated Naomi Campbell and fathered a child with Heidi Klum; dude likes his models).
She dated Sean Combs (the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy, P Diddy; and should be known as P. Douchey).
She was engaged to Brent Bolthouse, a big name on the LA party scene. She dumped him for John Stamos (who was only 15 years her senior).
My questions is...why would Bruce Willis want to marry someone with a past like this?
Now, in the normal world, I don't think you should worry so much about the past love life of the person you're with. But in Hollywood, I don't think that applies. Even though Tom Arnold's marriage to a school teacher didn't work out (and he's already on to his 4th wife), at least he didn't marry someone that used to be with Tom Green (nice choice there, Drew Barrymore).
For example, John Travolta married Kelly Preston. A beautiful actress. But she was engaged to Charlie Sheen. Now, what happened to that statistic that said when you sleep with someone, you're sleeping with everyone they slept with? If a woman had anything to do with Charlie Sheen, wouldn't you stay away?
Is it really worth running into that celebrity at parties, movie screenings, or just going thru the channels and seeing a repeat of Two and a Half Men.
Remember, Charlie Sheen is the actor that dated a few different porn stars and admitted to being involved in the Heidi Fleiss scandal.
Locally, Padres broadcaster Ted Leitner has been known for his handful of marriages. He often joked about it on the air and in interviews.
I remember one of his wives used to date a player on the Chargers. And I thought that was odd. Can you imagine Leitner, when he was doing the sports on Channel 8, talking about the Chargers latest loss. And then saying "The reason they lost so bad, was the poor, horrible performance by [insert ex-boyfriend here]"
And don't these celebrities wonder, when they hook up with a woman that has dated a bunch of other famous men -- is she really into me, or is she a groupie?
I remember when Sandra Bullock married Jesse James, that biker dude covered in tattooes. It was her first marriage, and I believe his third. He had three kids, and I figured that was baggage she didn't need.
And now we're seeing just how much baggage can catch up with ya.
She's involved in this crazy custody battle with James' ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder, who has a local connection. She was in a couple of blink 182 videos, and on the cover of their "Enema of the State" CD (clever title, guys; although not as clever as your "Take off Your Coat and Jacket).
Oh, and she's also a porn star who has done over 100 films.
She was set to regain custody of her 5-year-old child, since she completed her sentence for tax evasion. She appeared on Good Morning America" and other shows, saying Bullock shouldn't be involved in this.
Lindemulder is now married to a convicted felon (who has some really cool tattooes on the top of his head...not that there's anything wrong with that). James and Bullock don't think that's the type of environment for their child. Yeah. A better environment would be his reality show where he does death defying stunts. I'm wondering why, since she was a porn star when James married her, did he not wonder before having kids, if all this was a good environment to raise a child.
Bullock has done interviews, stating that the child was left alone during the day while Lindemulder was "asleep from drug use."
I would love to grab Sandra Bullock and say "What were you thinking when you married this dude?"
As she's thinking about that, I'd add, "And what were you thinking, doing the Proposal, and the last 8 crappy movies you did? Did you even read the scripts?!"
Men, particularly Hollywood types, want trophy wives. They don't take much else into consideration, and it often gets them in trouble later. If they went for real women, they'd fair much better.
I saw a guy who had a drop-dead-gorgeous wife who lived in Beverly Hills, then for years had a much-less-attractive girlfriend, masculine even, on the side. Often, men get caught having affairs with women who aren't as attractive as their wives. In Hollywood, if a woman can bake a decent brownie, men will go crazy for her because so many of them are married to model types who contribute little else to the relationship than their looks.
Women, on the other hand, often go for bad boys. I think it's the challenge of taming someone untamable that's the allure. Sometimes,they think they can fix them if they are broken. Psychologists say that women often mistake mean men for strong men. I think Sandra Bullock has gotten herself in one big mess that she's going to regret.

I thought this was one of the strangest couplings ever. Viggo Mortenson; Aragorn, Lord of the Rings and Exene Cervanka of the L.A. punk band X. They're divorced and have a son together. I don't believe they've dipped into the huge dating celebrity pool, but she just seems scary to me.

The guy i dated who was in a big-name rock band YEARS AGO had for years aided and abetted and ate with and bedded France's version of Madonna (or so he always told me), a lady named Veonique Sanson...
s'il vous plait, voulesz vous...
And she had slept with Stephen Stills before my ex had her - they may have even had a kid together.
i can't recall.
And while i like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, i'm not a big Stills solo fan.
So there ya go.
the end.

Women don’t like to be thought of as sluts. But if they have bedded a celebrity it’s like a new pair of Manolos they have to show off.
I’ve heard it too from some women I dated. They thought I would be impressed that they slept with Julio Inglesis, Mick Jagger, Sting or some local night club owner.
No. I just thought they were sluts like the celebrity that seduced them.

Yeah, I thought Viggo and EC were an odd couple. She scares me. Now, her and John Doe are perfect, because he kinda had the creepy vibe going, too.
Although, Viggo has certainly gotten better looking with age. And EC has gotten worse. Maybe they were more evenly matched back in the Sunset Strip days of the early 80s.

I know people that know Jesse James... From all that I have heard, he is a really good guy.
These are guys that have known him for years, and could give a F about his fame.

It blows my mind more that the idiotic public sucks this stuff up like a line of coke on a kitchen table. Shows you how pathetic their lives are to even care about this crap. Meanwhile, a truck bomb goes off in Iraq and we're reading about Jesse James and who had f***ed this loser.

Hi magicsfive. Jesse James designs specialty motorcycles. "Choppers" if you will. A lot of celebrities have his bikes. Sounds kind of sad that I know that. ha ha.

In the future, if arin makes idiotic statements, just ignore them. On Monday, when the web administrator is in, I'll have the comments deleted.

but all his statements are idiotic!

Each statement that I deem racist, I'm going to have the administrators remove. I just received this letter via the website, regarding Ted Leitner. I know nothing about it:
saw your story today and was wondering if you heard or have any pictures
of Ted Leitner and his new fling? He apparently is dumping his current
wife/girl, Robyn Sanchez for some Kellogg family member. I wrote
944.com looking for pictures from the Cove event and they pointed me to
your publications ... any help is greatly appreciated,

It intrigues me how someone who's not famous can continue to hook up with people who are. Don't these people live very sheltered, insulated lives? If you're nobody, how do you keep getting hooked up with them?

I asked myself that very same question when I dated Britney Spears and Alyssa Milano-I guess that just liked a nice, polite guy :)

DOUBLE KAPOWWWW!!!! (at the script comments JB!!)
BTW, Bullock is married to Jesse James because he is a "bad boy", and while the bad boy image is fun to date for short periods they usually don't work out so good in long term relationships (ask JJ since he has been married 3 times within the last 7 years).
AND FOR THE RECORD= SurfPuppy thinks Janine Lindemulder has an incredible sexy look and beautiful tattoos, if she only had a brain! (oh well, hard to get it all in one package!!)

Men ALWAYS age better than women.
I just had my XX year reunion last weekend-and not a single one of the "hot" chicks wer still "hot". Some of them were downright scary-did not age well at ALL! Some have even become obese.
Some of the men were just as bad-although more often than not they did not age to the degree the woman did.
I used to work out at high end club where we had one of these celebrity groupies, and I laughed at her because she was like 35 y/o, and while she was still good looking, she was no spring chicken and clearly on the downhill slope of her beauty curve, had undergone massive amounts of cosmetic surgery to keep up her looks (one time she came into the gym with Mick Jagger lips and I almost burst out in laughter right in front of her-hard to talk to someone and keep a straight face when their lips went from normal to hotdog size in 24 hours), and her attitude was yes-men go for the trophy wife and the women go for the money as a form of security.
She thought the trophy wife/money/ security equation was all fine and dandy-the other things people are supposed to have in relationships-like love, companionship, mutual interests- those all came in second.
And this groupies identity was so wrapped up in her physical appearance that I actually felt sorry for her (despite her massive, fake sweater puppies).

I always felt that...if a famous person marries the "trophy wife" they're both getting what they want. No harm, no foul.
I would just think...if I were a pro athlete or movie star, I'd want an attractive woman that WASN'T a dyed blonde. And one that wasn't attached to other famous men before me.
My friend is dating a guy that's a tour manager for some famous musicians. One (household name), has this wife that I believe was dating some other famous musician. And she recently complained that HE had his own jet, and this one doesn't.
Insane.

I am going to admit I have made a mistake. I have gone back to re-read some of the other blogs Josh has done. He has not made, what I would call, a racial remark to me or about blacks. We may not agree on the degree of racsim in this country (I think it is a problem and that blacks/browns have to deal with it more).
I was blending my memory of what he has said with the remarks of others (chiefly Refriedbeanguy and Pistolpete) both of whom I regard as racists, such as my self.
Josh has been able to pretty much stay right in the middle, which is what a media person should do. I still do not believe he has ever referred to blacks as Ni**ers, because its just too human of a thing to do. I just attribute it to a bad/selective memory (and trying to keep his job) answer.
BUT!!! I am not an idiot for believing that racism is still alive and well here in this country. If Josh believes I am an idiot for believing racism is alive, then we will have an issue. But, for now, my man Josh stands above the stigma of being a racist.
Me? I'm a racist because I believe I live in a nation that is, sadly to say, still racial at its core. It is getting better, but we are not there yet. We all now the stereotypes; our late night comedians and folks like Chris Rock still bring them up.
1. Asians are good at math but are bad drivers.
2. Mexicans are just farm workers and live in canyons through-out California.
3. Black men like chicken, and we all have a big penis, and we're just ignorant. I have been accused of all three of those items (sure, one of them was true. Ahem)
Until those types of walls are broken down, this country will still be, IMO, racist. And, with the job I have, and people I meet everyday with? I can tell you, those walls are still very...very...high.

Thats all; for now.
