Reality bites: parts 1 & 2

Part One

Poor Britney. Apparently being married is tough. Without the room service on tap, being Mrs Federline is hard work. What with the stepkids and keeping Kevin’s vests nice and white, Britney is practically bucking under the strain. Still, at least she can go to work, strip off and forget all about it.

what she gave it all up for

Part two

As predicted here last month, Brad and Jen are having second thoughts about getting divorced. Brad has moved back home and they are seeing a counsellor. Collective sigh of disappointment from the female (and gay male) population.

But have they really changed their minds about divorce? Or has the reality of dating in your late 30s and 40s just hit them? While ordinary divorcees can go speed dating, scan the personal ads or search for love online, Hollywood stars just can’t do what the plebs do. It seems that their only options are hooking up with the ex’s best friend or having affairs with their costars.

Should Jen decide that Brad is just not the One, there is still some consolation. She’s got a crack at rounding off Ben Affleck’s trinity of Jens.
