Splitsville for leftoid power couples!

I suppose the ever changing mating habits of the glitterati aren't really news, but for the leftoids it means we don't have to see any more of the smarmy couple photo-ops, which is good news.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston Separate

Superstar Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have separated after 4 1/2 years of marriage, but they remain "committed and caring friends," they said on Friday.

Yadda, yadda. In case you've forgotten:

October 31, 2003 - Conan O'Brien joked during his Late Night monologue on Tuesday night, "In celebrity news, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have gone to the Middle East to get Israelis and Palestinians to start working together. Apparently it is working, too, because Israelis and Palestinians are going up to each other saying, 'What the hell are those two doing here?'"
...
October 22, 2003 - The new Us Weekly includes photos of Brad and Jennifer's double date with Courteney Cox and David Arquette. Brad drove to Spago in a new Toyota Prius hybrid. "They like to use their celebrity status to support causes they believe in," a source said.

Darn, I can't find the famous picture of them wedged into their Prius demonstrating the right lifestyle to the little people.

And speaking of lifestyle - Newsom, wife file for divorce:

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and his wife, Court TV legal analyst Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom, are filing for divorce after three years of marriage.

In a joint statement issued by the mayor's office Wednesday, the Newsoms cited the strain posed by their high-profile careers on opposite ends of the country as the reason for the split.
...
Rumors have circulated in San Francisco that the pair's marriage was in trouble almost since Newsom became mayor last January. Newsom, a Democrat, made headlines last year by granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
...
Besides the difficulty of living apart, the demands of their jobs occasionally posed conflicts. In August, for example, Harper's Bazaar magazine published a lavish fashion spread showing the pair posed in the Getty mansion, the mayor an obvious accessory to his couture-clad wife. The photos, coupled with a headline that dubbed the couple "The New Kennedys," was decidedly at odds with the common man image Newsom was trying to cultivate in San Francisco.

Yeah, that was a pip.

And so was this:

Then in October, while filling in for her husband at a gay rights gala in New York, Guilfoyle Newsom loosened up the audience by praising her husband's anatomy in graphic terms and suggested that her own talents in the bedroom had kept the mayor in the heterosexual camp.

Actually, it was a tad more graphic.

And while there really isn't a couple involved, unless you count his mirror, LGF alerts us to "Palestinians" rise up against Richard Gere

One day after actor Richard Gere released a television commercial in which he ordered the Palestinian people to go out and vote, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip staged a violent uprising against the Hollywood star.

Mr. Gere's commercial, in which he said, "Hi, I'm Richard Gere and I'm speaking for the entire world," infuriated Palestinian militants, who were seen smashing "Pretty Woman" DVDs and shouting anti-Gere slogans throughout Gaza today.

While Mr. Gere's high-handed command may not succeed in motivating Palestinians to go to the polls, it could ultimately foster peace in the Middle East, since many Palestinians now hate Richard Gere more than they hate Israel.

"For years, I thought that Ariel Sharon was the enemy," said Abed Zobaidi, 29. "Now I realize that the real enemy is that 'American Gigolo' bastard."

It really isn't that bad, but it's bad enough.
