As anyone who has lived in Hollywood will attest to, rumors spread like wildfire.  It appears that during the height of Rory Emerald’s celebrity status, circa 1985, the media was following him day and night, trying to get that elusive and more importantly exclusive story.  \n\nAt that time, Emerald was in a “Welch’s grape juice phase”.  He drank the juice day and night, mixing it with whatever alcoholic substance he could get his hands on.  Sometimes words and phrases are taken out of context and blown way out of proportion.  One wag, for the LA Times overheard Emerald praising Welch’s grape juice and saying “it’s just like momma used to make it”  This reporter interpreted this to mean that the famous actress Raquel Welch was indeed Emerald’s biological mother.  \n\nThis created a furor in the city of angels, and to dispel any further ridiculous notions that Ms. Welch was Emerald’s mother, he contacted the sex bombshell actress for a romantic and sexual liaison.  Ms. Welch was quick to comply, and spent the weekend at his lavish estate.  This further enraged the people of that fine Southern California city, who felt he was a little out of line engaging in sexual activities with his own mother.  Despite denials from both parties, and apparently rough and wild sex, the allegations continued for several years, before finally dying out.

Oh please Eddie Murphy is soooo gay!! And if he left he didn't have to walk very far!! JG been living on EM estate for ages now!! With the wifes knowledge too!! Apparently was an open secret in the marriage. Still I guess the divorce settlement will be worth it all.

Intriguing question, which made me very curious to know the answer to!  I found mention of this in one place -- says they were married  http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.gossip.celebrities/browse_thread/thread/f4811dbfa4ac8a9d/4d1e4a12150ba6a6?hl=en\n\n"Ed was married to Priscilla Coolidge from 1981 to their divorce \nin 1984. \nKristofferson was married to Rita Coolidge from 1973 to 1980. \nThey don't *quite* overlap....but there is (or was) a relationship."\n\nBut wait, that doesn't make sense because Rita Coolidge was married to Kris Kristofferson from 1973 to 1980, EXACTLY the same time frame as the above says she was married to Ed Bradley.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0177643/bio\n\nHOWEVER... Rita DOES have a sister named Priscilla Coolidge, and Ed definitely was married to a "Priscilla Coolidge" so I think that's where the confusion comes in.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/09/AR2006110900820_2.html\n\nHave I thoroughly confused you now?  :-)  Hope this helps!

She's basically a 'live-in-prostitute', so, yes, she married for money.\nI feel sorry for Paul.\nFrankly, I hope she gets nothing after dragging her marital problems through the media in the way she has.\nIt's despicable.

I saw that same tabloid article. \nWikipedia says in the summer of 2005, Lauer and his wife separated. They have reconciled, and are currently back together.\n\nHis wife's name is Annette Roque, born in the Netherlands, she is Dutch, Chinese, and Indonesian by heritage) and they have two kids. \n\nI never knew it before, but I looked him up on imdb.com (of all places) and it said that he's actually been married before. But no kids from the first marriage.\n\nimdb.com:\nSon Jack Matthew Lauer is Lauer's first child with wife Annette Roque. His birth weight was 7 lb 3 oz. Matt had to leave the "Today" show in the middle of the broadcast to join his wife for the birth of his son. [26 June 2001]\n\nHe and his wife, Annette welcomed their second child, a girl named Romy Lauer on October 2, 2003. She weighed 7lbs.

I do not htink he has but I know he is on the road to getting divorce. I read in star or maybe in US Weekly that they are getting a divorce. He is a great actor and his wife is nice as far as I know.

Why all the debate?\nAre none of you aware that no less a person than the current governor of California was once pregnant?  I saw it myself at the local Multiplex...\nI saw a previous governor of California at the cinema years ago - who then went on to become president.  Then a few years later, it was his co-stars turn!

Yep, I remember hearing about that. I think they are also related distantly. I saw that on some family tree website, how weird!

There is a rumor that he was married to a German women when he was in his 20s but Daddy would have nothing of it, especially considering our relationship with the Germans at the time. So, the marriage was kinda deleted off the records so to say.\n\nI don't necessarily believe that story, but I have heard of it before in case that's what you're trying to think of.

Out of the many emails I got about Britney’s divorce to KFed, this one was very interesting. It comes from someone that claims they are close to the Britney camp. I’m going to take it at face value, but what they say makes complete sense:\n\nLaney – Don’t believe the Britney divorce. I’m sort of in with her circle of friends and I know for a fact she’s not going to leave him.\n\nShe’s just doing this to scare him and gain some sympathy votes from the media. She went on Letterman, cause Kevin thought she was at the hotel crying over him.\n\nShe is using the divorce to scare him. They are already talking to each other and texting all the time on their mobiles. She always threatened divorce on him and he never believes her.\n\nShe’s hoping he will change his ways. I think she also knows that this can change her image and is using it. They will get back together. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are already back together.

There is no theory on this.  The fact remains that Rocky's wife wanted him to retire and he promised her that he would.  This is the truth about this.

The tabloids are reporting that there was another woman and that Ryan has been cheating all along and when Reese found out, he didn't deny it and she ended things right away. Thus, the reason they didn't look too chummy or lovey dovey at the "Flag of Our Fathers" movie premiere 2 weeks ago on 16OCT06.\n\nHere's some juicy info I found out yesterday. Not sure if it's true or not, but here's the latest rumor behind the split (can also be viewed on the first link pasted below).\n\nSee further down for an update released today, 01NOV06 (can also be viewed on the second link pasted below).\n\nAnd finally, a clip of the couple walking down the red carpet for the "Flag of Our Fathers" movie premiere can be viewed on the third link pasted below. An article accompanies the clip, which is pasted here too (see Access Hollywood).\n______________________________...\n\nThe Ryan Reese Split - Blame it on the Blonde and the BlackBerry\nTue, 10/31/2006 - 11:28am\n\nJust as we predicted, the rumor mill has been circulating in full force ever since Reese and Ryan announced their split yesterday. There's been accusations of cheating, knock-down, drag-out fighting, and now it's come back around to cheating again. It always does. And so far, according to numerous unknown sources, Ryan is to blame. National Enquirer reports:\n\nSources now tell The ENQUIRER that when Reese found apparent email proof of Ryan cheating it finally convinced her to end the troubled relationship. "Reese is heartbroken," a source told The ENQUIRER. Reese discovered Ryan's messages when she accompanied him to New York for the premiere of his movie "Flags of Our Fathers" on Oct. 16. At the premiere the couple smiled and posed for photos together, "but when they got back to the hotel, Reese found Ryan's BlackBerry, which he'd carelessly left in the bathroom -- and she read it," said the source. "Ryan was caught red-handed. All he could say was he didn't mean what he'd written to the other woman." Ryan went to Morocco to finish filming "Stop Loss" and hoped Reese would cool off while he was gone. But when he got home to their Brentwood, CA., mansion in late October, he was no longer welcome. The marriage was over and Reese kicked him out.\n\nCan this really be true? Once again we are the naive fan who really thought there was such a thing as the golden Hollywood couple. We were the suckers that thought Nick and Jessica were for real as well. Let's hope someone gets married this weekend to even out the bad news.\n______________________________...\n\nInside Reese & Ryan's Split\nWed, 11/01/2006 - 10:36am\n\nReese and Ryan sadly announced their split earlier this week, so it's no surprise they have landed a ton of magazine covers this weekend. Since we heard the news on Monday, we have learned more about them fighting in public, and then Reese reading Ryan's Blackberry to reveal a third party may be involved. Life & Style reveals that Reese was worried about Ryan cheating while he was away on set. They also predict that she has the upper hand and is calling the shots. US Weekly is claiming that Ryan was too open with his cheating and when Reese found out he did not deny it. As for that other women, well her name is Abbie Cornish and you can see pics of them on the set by clicking here.\n\nUPDATE - No pre-nup. TMZ reports that Reese could lose millions in the divorce and that while they are trying to keep things peaceful for the kids, there is "no talk of reconciliation and that divorce papers are merely a matter of time."\n\nTo read more from this weekend's Life & Style,\n\nHere's a teaser of what you'll see in this weekend's issue....\n\nReese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe were always open about their struggles as a couple, admitting to relationship counseling and working hard to make their marriage succeed. But Ryan’s

As an obsessed member of entertainment news im not exactly sure where you are getting your information...but be sure that the national enquirer is not an accurate source of information...Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes baby was just born and considering that nothing has been reported that their engagement is off i seriously doubt that tom has done anything to demand custody..especially since he has a movie to promote...if he were going to do something as stupid as this trust me...he would wait till after his movie premiered!
