I've debated over posting this comment, but in the end decided it was something I couldn't let pass. It isn't aimed at any person in particular, but at the general mood on my flist.

The end of a relationship is not a reason to be joyful. It's an odd sort of fan who doesn't care for the happiness of the star. And even in the relationship was not a happy one, something we are in no position to judge, then there are still regrets on both sides when it ends. He's a real man, remember, not some character we have invented.

She's caused enough divisions in the fandom already. What's going to happen when the next blonde starlet happens along?

AGEED. FIRMLY.

actually, thought this over. and I do still agree, but I'm not saying or thinking that anyone is wrong. just basically, I know my initial reaction was "OMG YAY" but then I kind of stepped back and thought, wow. I don't know anything about it and THEN I kind of felt like how I always feel when my best friend breaks up with a guy that I told her from the beginning that she shouldn't have gotten involved with. it's a smug feeling, but also a terribly guilty one, and gosh. I really believe that they weren't right for each other and I don't think constantly being thrust into the spotlight was good for either of them, and their relationship was doomed from the beginning (as with most hollywood couples. so unfair. so unfair.)

I do hope everyone's happier as a result of this. who knows? I just hope it was the best decision for whatever reason it was. I mean, Orlando... I feel like I know the kid

anyways. it's still all very woolly and I don't know as though we'll ever *really* know the truth. but. whether you're happy about it, or sad about it, or whatever... none of its wrong, or anything to be scolded about. live and let live? everyone sees things differently. and that's my peace of pie

[aleathiel.livejournal.com]

Well I agree. And I'm not saying it's bad news per se. Or that I'm particularly sorry they broke up. I just don't like the instant reactions that she was a bitch and it's fabulous that she's gone.

And how are you feeling this morning anyway, hon? Shouldn't you be resting?

[undrockroll.livejournal.com]

actually, I've been resting a lot already and my neck is starting to feel normal again so I'm trying to tackle the whole LJ thing... a lot has happened in one day :O

anyways, thanks for asking :) I'm poking at my silly mpreg now so I'm feeling pretty good I suppose *hugs* *and extra hugs for being so eloquently opinionated. lovely you are*

And Kate is a real woman, dominatrix banana or not.

I agree with you. Well said.

*hugs*

except if you don't think it's a real relationship, like I do. They have been miserable, both of them. Hope they're going to be happy now.

[mellacita.livejournal.com]

That sums it up for me as well. I see a happier Orlando, and a healthier-looking Kate, and both things seem to me to be reason to celebrate.

I try for equal opportunity snark and mostly non-fandom topics in my LJ, but occasionally I enjoy being silly and petty, as I said in my post. If you would prefer to be filtered out of such things, feel free to let me know.

[aleathiel.livejournal.com]

If you want an honest answer then yes, please filter me out of such posts. I don't want to argue with anyone but it disappoints me to see people I otherwise like and admire acting in a way I dislike. I'm sorry.

[tiniowien.livejournal.com]

I agree to this. If I thought they had been in a happy, healthy relationship then I would be upset at it's demise. But I saw nothing like that in the past two years.

Now I see smiles from both parties. And I plan to enjoy it.

*nods* :)

[aleathiel.livejournal.com]

If that is true, then I agree. I certainly agree with the sentiment that they be happy.

[nanakomatsu.livejournal.com]

Childish or not, I think we all agree about this... :)
I want Orlando happy, and he didn't seem happy... and I don't have anything against kate (really :)) , so I hope they both will be ok!

I can just second Laurie`s comment!
Same here.

Say what?

Once again, I appear to be living under a rock. Might as well be glad about it this time.

Where's the news coming from?

[aleathiel.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but it's all over my flist this morning.

[matan4il.livejournal.com]

Ted Casablanca on E and a few tabloids. ;)

[dirtysidekick.livejournal.com]

Here here!

*hugs*

[nikkidarling.livejournal.com]

I knew nothing of this.

Let them be happy, whatever that may entail, I say.

[cynical-terror.livejournal.com]

how strange this sort of reality is, eh?
