Say it ain't so Jen and Brad!!

What's next! Britney and Ex-Dancer getting a divorce!!??

The King of Schmooze often wonders why people in Hollywood ever get married, anyway. It seems that the odds of a high-profile marriage being successful are very slim so why bother? Just have some kind of 'formal living arrangement' that can be dissovled easily once you realize that things aren't going to work out. Doesn't this just make more sense?!

Jen and Brad seemed to have it all going for them: looks, popular roles in popular films/tv shows, money, glamour. Where did it all go wrong? Who knows, and really, who cares. Luckily they didn't have any children so we will not have to endure the 'celebrity name game'. My bet was on a girl, and her name would be 'Peach', as in 'Peach Pitt'. As for a boy ............ how about "Army" as in Army Archer, the famous Hollywood columnist. Given the playgrounds of today, this would inevitably become 'Arm Pitt'. Not bad. At least we won't have to endure this ....... for now anyway.

Sidebar:
Ever realize that 'continuity' in a movie shoot is a really big thing? Continuity is the process of ensuring that scenes shot in a movie over the course of days, weeks, and even months, all maintain their original qualities. Sometimes scenes from films are not shot concurrently but hours and even days apart. When a scene in a movie is between 2 people, and you have the camera panning from person to person, it may actually be that they are only shooting 1 person at a time and then editing the shots together. Both actors don't have to be present at the same time for this to be possible. They may even film the end or the middle of a film before they film the beginning.

Anyway, a prime example of poor continuity in a film is in the remake of Ocean's 11. The scene where Brad Pitt and Matt Damon are talking about Andy Garcia's character while they are standing by the staircase at the Bellagio. Initially we see Brad standing by Matt listening to Matt describe Terry Benedict's day (Andy Garcia's character) and he is holding a shrimp cocktail glass in his hand while he is eating the shrimp. We then switch to another angle of the shot and we see Matt talking to Brad, but in this shot Brad is holding a plate of shrimp instead of the shrimp cocktail glass. Finally, when Matt talks about Julia Roberts being 'the best part of his day' we see Brad back to holding the shrimp cocktail glass instead of the plate. This is not earth shattering, but it is fun. Part of the reason why the King of Schmooze loves movies so much is because of all the little processes that we as viewers don't realize take place.

Probably the worst part of the split of Brad and Jen is the fact that they 'supposably' spent $US 1 Million on their wedding. Zikes! That's approximately $250,000 for each year of marriage.

With Brad and Jen split, we'll have to find the new 'fabulous' married couple in Hollywood. It wil be interesting to see if Nick and Jessica can make things work for them. It probably won't work out, just look at Sonny and Cher. As for Britney and Kevin, The King of Schmooze is giving them 1 yr, 5 mos, and 11 days.
