I hear that Abbie Cornish was in addition to (but later than) the other extracurricular relationship I outed earlier.

Looks like our boy might be a serial co-star schtupper.

They always struck me as a weird match. She is apparently not far off from her "Election" character while he's supposedly a dope-smoking brooder. What a fun household that would make for. However, it's too bad about Abbie Cornish casting herself as the hurter of America's Sweetheart. She's a good actress who plays a great junkie in "Candy."

hate to say it but...um...she's just sort of "ok" in the looks dept.

As for Reese, she shouldn't have been all that shocked. She herself was one of his co-star schtups...

CS: The pictures on IMDB don't do her justice. She must have been un-prettied for that film. In Candy she is quite stunning, like a young pre-Botox Nicole Kidman but without the out-of-control red hair, Holly Hobbie dresses and hankering for closeted Hollywood superstars.

But what of the rumour that Reese was banging Joachin during Walk the Line?

you don't suppose he has a type(!) do you?

Abbie Cornish is hot, as Trixie noted. Maybe she got some tips about breaking up a marriage from Russell Crowe while they were making A Good Year.

I'm offically retiring my gaydar.

While I don't think Ms. Cornish has the stature/ career/ etc. to get through this the way a certain Ms. Jolie did, I think it would be pretty darn funny if a few years from now she starts sweeping up the Oscars and Ryan is still on his flatlined career trajectory.

Yes, I think the big winner here is the previously unknown and not-too-cute actress.

Cornish could/would have been a decent proxy for Ms. Katie Holmes...

Mrs. Nicole Cruise?

she's a six on the Homely-O-Meter.

Yeah, I'd say a seven on the scale of "general starlet attractiveness" (I see potential), but as far as the "worth breaking up a marriage" scale, she's a three.

inherent in any Hollywood union where one partner is far more successful than the other

That seems to be particularly troublesome (or maybe it's just more remarked on) when the "one" is female and the "other" male.

I hate the script for "Stop Loss" so much, and I know I'm going to hate the film, and... Reese, you're WELL-RID OF HIM. Yes.

you bitches is hatin....that ho is blazing, son! A

But then look at Sir Paul and that deranged one-legged nutter -- she was actually jealous that he was more famous than she was. Figure that one out.

She, of "Freeway"; he, of "Crash". Hollywood does the math for you.

i hope reese was screwing joaqin.

i hope reese was screwing joaqin...that would be trading up.

While Joaquin is attractive in Walk the Line in real life he is sweaty, disheveled, and has awful posture. (All around kinda gross looking if you ask me...)

Abbie Cornish isn't as pretty as Reese, which is the material point. I mean, it's one thing to dump horseface Aniston for alien-but-sexy Angelina. That's just smart. But dumping America's Sweetheart for a much younger Aussie?

Say good-bye to your career, Ryan. And say good-bye to your kids, because I somehow doubt Abbie doll will want them around all the time. Reese on the other hand, can basically burn down any building she finds ugly for the next ten years and come off looking like a rose. I hope she finds a hot director to marry, worked for Rachel Weisz, Kate Winslet, Kate Beckinsale and Milla Jovovich (although hers is talentless, but Reese is used to that).

Fuck.
I totally should have chosen "deranged one-legged nutter" as a screenname.

Ooh, good spouse-hunting advice, Gen X. However, I think all but Weisz are on their second directorhusbands, so apparently it's a trial and error process.

I have never been able to get past Reese's pointy chin. I know she is as cute as a button in all other ways. Yet I only see the chin. Abbie has no such chin.

Aw fuck! I hate Abbie Cornish. I haven't seen Candy. But if you want a good reason to commit suicide then go rent a copy of 'Somersault' and watch this girl 'act' her way into a coma. What's more, everyone I know who's had anything to do with her thinks she's a coked up, air headed tool. If this whole thing makes her famous I don't know what I'm gonna do. Bitch on the internet maybe.
