Have You Forgiven Ryan Phillipe?

I ran across a story about Ryan Phillipe lately that was pretty interesting. I pretty much blew him off as just another scumbag when he cheated on Reese Witherspoon, breaking up their marriage and tearing their family apart. While the article wasn’t about anything in particular, talking about his tattoos and blah blah blah, what I found most interesting was the last line. This talked about how he’s been “unfairly treated in the media.” Really? Why? Because he cheated on his wife and people didn’t take kindly to that? Here’s what the article had to say, from Pop Sugar,

“Ryan Phillippe let his forearm tattoo peek out from his tight white shirt while running errands around LA Monday. With MacGruber coming out later this month the normally private star is opening up in interviews all over including one about all his body art — Ryan showed off his shirtless sexy back for Inked magazine and also revealed how he covered up a ladybug tat he got for Reese years ago. His ex wife has been a frequent topic of conversation during the lead up to his movie’s release and Ryan seems to have won back some fans talking about his sadness over their breakup and found support in how unfairly he’s been treated in the media.”

What was even more interesting than the article itself were the comments that followed. The majority of people actually seem to be siding with Ryan and turning on Reese! Now, that’s bass-ackwards if I’ve ever heard it! A lot of the comments pointed out that Reese seems to always give the “correct” answer in interviews and that she seems very cold and standoffish, whereas Ryan has always been honest and open, even if we may not have always liked what he’s had to say.

Okay, I get the whole Reese/iceberg thing. But really. She’s one of the biggest and hottest stars in Hollywood and she has absolutely zero private life. So if she’s a little snotty to the paps that camp outside the grocery store when she’s just trying to pick up some juice for her kids, I get that. Ryan, on the other hand, has not always been open and honest. Even if he’s been honest about everything else in his life, he has always vehemently denied the fact that sleeping with Abbie Cornish was the reason for his divorce. He’s always claimed that the marriage was over before they started screwing and I. Don’t. Buy. It. And, even if you’re being honest about everything else, if you can’t pony up to the really big stuff and own it, then I don’t care what other useless crap falls out of your mouth.

So, I’ve had my say. I haven’t forgiven Ryan Phillipe. Have you?

Ryan and Abbie: Splitsville!

Another woman has gotten a taste of Ryan Phillippe’s wandering eye, and I say – serves you right, biotch! Finally, I get my own little taste of justice after someone has helped to break up a favorite couple of mine. I bet the only person on Earth happier than me right now is Reese Witherspoon.

Yes, Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish have split after Ryan cheated on her too and Abbie gave him the boot. It seems that Ryan has been spending a lot of time with other women lately in clubs and whatnot and Abbie finally had enough. In a slick move, she moved out of the home the two shared while Ryan took his kids to visit a friend. Hmm, I wonder if Ryan knew about that little relocation before it happened? From NY Daily News,

“Aussie actress Abbie Cornish has split with Ryan Phillippe.

“Abbie ended the relationship with Ryan and she moved out of their home,” the actress’ rep confirmed to People.

While Phillippe was visiting a friend with his children, Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6, on Sunday, the “Bright Star” actress was spotted moving out of the Los Angeles house she shared with the actor.

Cornish, 27, and Phillippe, 35, who met on the set of their war drama “Stop-Loss,” weathered intense media scrutiny in 2006 after they began dating around the same time as the actor’s divorce from Reese Witherspoon.

Being linked to the demise of Phillippe’s seven-year marriage proved to be “a really difficult time for me,” Cornish told W magazine last year.

“In a normal, successful career, someone usually learns these things bit by bit. For me, it was like night and day,” she said. “I woke up one day and there was this whole new thing I had to process and deal with.”

Ugh. Could I feel any less sorry for poor little homewrecker Abbie Cornish? Yes, sometimes it works out that celebrities deal with being under the spotlight bit by bit. But when you’re in your first movie, and you immediately hook up with your co-star that’s married and has kids, you’re bound to have a few people looking your way pretty quickly. And who ever said that Abbie Cornish had a successful career? I’d bet I’m not the only one who knows her more as being Ryan Phillippe’s mistress than anything else.

Sometimes Cheaters Do Win!

I thought it was so sad when Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe announced that they were getting a divorce only two years ago. One, because I had loved Ryan Phillipe and the news that he was just another no-good cheater was very upsetting to me. Two, because I love Reese Witherspoon, and still do, and the thought of her having to watch her entire family fall apart was also very upsetting to me. I really thought that this was a case where the good guy would win, and that Reese would come out smelling like roses. But it seems that Ryan and his homewrecker girlfriend, Abbie Cornish, are actually the ones doing just fine while Reese may still be struggling to find the one that is a perfect fit for her.

Ryan and Abbie just make me ill. They get together while Ryan is still married, completely destroy everything, then lie about it, and continue to lie about it for almost two years! They have just recently come out and started to allow themselves to be seen in public together and have recently admitted, by attending an event together and having many PDAs while there, that they are ‘in love.’ Blech! From People,

“After months of speculation about their relationship, he proudly accompanied his Stop-Loss costar Abbie Cornish to the 2008 Australian in Film Breakthrough Awards – their first major event as a couple.

“They were adorable,” says a guest. “He had his arm around her and they were cozy and comfortable.”

When Cornish – who was being honored with a Breakthrough Award – was introduced, Phillippe rubbed her back while she leaned against his shoulder. Throughout the evening, they held hands.”

How can anybody think that two cheaters are adorable? I don’t get it. Lock up your husbands, ladies! Cornish may come after them when she’s through with this one! Meanwhile, Reese seemed to be doing just dandy with boyfriend of just over a year, Jake Gyllenhaal, and the last that was heard on the two was that they were planning to move in together. Well it seems as though instead of moving closer together, they have drifted apart - both literally and figuratively. From Pop Sugar,

“Reese has been spending lots of time with her kids lately, but what’s missing from the equation is Jake Gyllenhaal, who is overseas filming Prince of Persia. Rumor has it that the geographic situation has been difficult on the relationship and that the two are drifting apart.”

I really hope that this isn’t true and that in the world of Hollywood and with all the gazillions of dollars that these two have, they could find a way to spend time together when one has to work out of the country. These two are super-cute and while I think that Reese may want to wait awhile before she gets wedding bells ringing in her head, I hope these two are happy for a long time. He really does seem like a nice guy but hmmm….then again, so did Ryan.

Ryan and Reese both Move On

Ryan Phillipe and Reese Witherspoon have both been very busy since their separation in October 2006. In less than two years, they have both found someone that they want to spend the rest of their lives with. Aw, isn’t that nice? Unfortunately, they have both already made those promises to each other and it didn’t seem to work out as their divorce was finalized just this past June. Ryan Phillipe is still with Abbie Cornish, who is thought to be the reason for the couple’s split and it’s now rumored that the two are actually secretly engaged! Not that a secret engagement would surprise me, with the sleazebag life this cheater and homewrecker have already laid out for themselves but I do question this one. From Celebitchy,

“Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish are planning to get married, the Enquirer has learned. But there’s already trouble in paradise - she’s furious that he’s delaying the public announcement of their engagement…

Still bothered by the sharp criticism he received when his home-wrecking affair with Abbie was discovered, Ryan is now afraid that the public will judge him harshly for getting married so soon after his divorce, which was finalized on June 12.

“Abbie is fed up with Ryan constantly trying to cover up their relationship,” revealed a pal.

“Two months ago he finally agreed to make a public appearance with her, but she had to fight just to do that.”

Abbie, 25, has moved into the $7 million, 8,300 square foot Hollywood Hills house that 33 year-old Ryan bought in June, sources say. And she spends time with Ryan and Reese’s kids - Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4.“

Aw, too bad for the homewrecker that Ryan doesn’t want to smear it in his ex’s wife face. I’ll bet it softens the blow to be living in that sweet mansion of his. On the other side of the story is that Reese Witherspoon, one of my all-time Hollywood favorites, is also about to marry her boyfriend, Jake Gyllenhaal, who she has been dating since last summer. This one I believe to be true as the word seems to have come straight from Jake’s mouth. From Celebrity Dirty Laundry,

“Reese Witherspoon is to marry Jake Gyllenhaal at Christmas. Jake told friends he and Reese plan to wed on or around his birthday on December 19 after he finishes his new film, Prince of Persia. A source on the set of the $200 million epic adventure, currently filming in Morroco, said: “Jake is telling everyone they are getting married at Christmas. ‘He told me he had proposed several times but she kept telling him she wanted to give their relationship more time. When he asked her again a couple of weeks ago, she finally said yes.”

I’m glad that Reese opted to wait it out a little until she said yes but I don’t think she gave it quite enough time. Her and Ryan’s divorce was only finalized this past June! I think both of them need to just take some time and decide what will really be best for them. At least Reese took a little time to herself before she even began dating unlike that cheater.
