    The happiest time in any man's life is just after the first divorce

    What is wrong with you people? He is gay? His head is huge? Does it make you feel better about yourselves to make accusations and mean statements about people you don't even know?

    He's got a younger woman on the side....can almost GUARANTEE IT.... another Ryan Reynolds...and like another poster said if they are such "good friends" then why can't they make their marriage work after 6 years together??"Irreconsiliable differences?" I don't think so!!! He's been carrying on w/ a younger woman just like Ryan cheated on Alanis w/Scarlett "Slutface" Johannsson... You don't just call it quits after 6 years together- or 4 years together in the case of Ryan and Alanis- just because there are young pretty girls out to steal men away from the women they have been with for years...this world is full of young sluts, men listen up- THAT IS NO REASON TO SUDDENLY ACT SHALLOW AND LEAVE YOUR LONGTIME WOMAN!!!!!

    His head is huge.

  • November 20, 2009 - 9:46am whatever sucks

    Whatever - are you for real??? Just because your good friends with someone doesn't mean you want to spend the rest of your life with that person, there has to be a connection / spark and if thats not there than things won't work out.

    whatever, they remain friends but they are not in love anymore. why should they have to stay together? They should be able to go separate ways and find real love.

    does anyone care about james van der beek anymore?

  • November 19, 2009 - 8:24pm Whatever

    Another Rep who claims a divorcing celeb couple "remain good friends." If they are such good friends, they should be able to make their marriage work. I would love a rep to be honest for once and say "these two can no longer stand one another, so they are divorcing."
