Robert Wagner, Charlie Chaplin, JFK, Debbie Reynolds, -- nm - zork Dec 8, 14:00 2

a ton of MJ albums are selling now -- nm - zork Dec 8, 13:53 2
- now that he's dead, his punishment is up to the afterlife ... no reason to hold back on buying his stuff - Beryllium Dec 8, 13:54 1
  - still he sold a lot during the 90s after the first molestation scadal -- nm - zork Dec 8, 13:55
Brad Pitt. -- nm - David Dec 8, 13:52 25
- what was Brad's scandal? -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 13:53 24
  - He cheated on his famous actress wife with a different famous actress wife. Maybe you heard... -- nm - David Dec 8, 13:53 22
    - perhaps, but not so concrete as this (and not with several mistresses) -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 14:00 9
      - It's been a magazine cover focus for several years. -- nm - David Dec 8, 14:01 8
        
        everything they print is true! - Guy Dec 8, 14:07 7
        
        Who said a scandal has to be accurate to affect marketability? -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 14:09
        
        Why did no one remind me I was talking to Guy? -- nm - David Dec 8, 14:08 1
        
        im not arguing anyone's fidelity, im arguing in context of b's question - Guy Dec 8, 14:11
        
        you really think Brad Pitt waited to jam Angelina until he and Jennifer were over? really? -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 14:07 3
        
        of course not. my point is that Tiger was caught red-handed and in the court of public opinion, that matters. -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 14:09 2
        
        all of this Tiger stuff, fwiw, is completely unsubstantiated thus far. He hasn't admitted to much of anything specific. - TFox Dec 8, 14:11
        
        his hand was in the cookie jar! - Beryllium Dec 8, 14:10
    - and now his famous actress ex-wife is jumping into any leading man's bed. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 13:54 11
      - poor JaxSean -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 13:55 10
        
        agreed, but with the way her career is going he should have a shot when she's 55. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 13:56 9
        
        The way her career is going, he should have a shot with $55. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 13:58 8
        
        The box office analyst in me wants to point out she's doing shockingly well. The JaxSean hater in me wants this to continue for another few boards. -- nm - David Dec 8, 14:00 5
        
        yeah I know she is, but her numbers at the box office are dwindling aren't they as a leading actress? -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 14:01 4
        
        Love Happens was a bomb as expected, but her two previous films were He's Just Not That Into You and Marley and Me. - David Dec 8, 14:06 3
        
        I might argue that she was not the lead for either of those films....she was support... - Remlik Dec 8, 14:10
        
        The dog was the star. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 14:08 1
        
        Of all three? -- nm - David Dec 8, 14:10
        
        she's got a few years of Lifetime movies left in her. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 14:00 1
        
        She might actually opt for the $55. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 14:00
  - he cheated on America's Sweetheart! -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 13:53

  - being a maverick? -- nm - zork Dec 8, 13:54
