Supercouples on Ice: PDA Sweepstakes & the Next Brangelina by Elizabeth Searle

Supercouple celebrate Superbowl

Olympians Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo are our Supercouple of the week– at least on ice. Brangelina was rumored to be ‘on ice’ too.  But a picture’s worth a thousand tabloid headlines– especially if PDA pic.s are broadcast during the most-watched TV event ever.

Brangelina put on a super show of affection at the Superbowl– and launched a super lawsuit against a British tabloid. Is their latest Public Display of Affection for real?

Meanwhile, Brangelina’s third-party Jennifer Aniston has found  new man labled by STAR as ‘Jen’s Revenge.’

At the Golden Globes, Jen had her own showy PDA-fest with her alleged ‘revenge,’ Gerard Butler.  The AllieisWired blog reports:”They put on an affectionate show… so over the top that event organizers were gossiping about it on their walkie-talkies.”

Jen and Gerard promptly gave the world more to talk about by flying to Mexico to celebrate Jen’s birthday at poolside.  How  much longer will the Brangelina-plus-Jen show dominate walkie-talkie gossip and headlines?  Who will take over as next king and queen of red-carpet, not to mention of PDAs?

Neil Gaimon and Amanda Palmer get a vote on our StarLit. page as ‘Gaimanda.’ Huffington Post lists the latest ‘media supercouples,’  including George Stephanopoulos and his wife, who just performed a very public ‘striptease’ for him on Good Morning America. And how about newlyweds Katy Perry and Russell Brand?  Or Robert Pattinson and his dog? Who’s your bet for the next ‘Brangelina’?

John Mayer Meltdown by Elizabeth Searle

Celebrity Meltdown alert: John Mayer is desperately Tweeting apologies for his ‘raw’ Playboy interview, allegedly given while he downed multiple malt whiskies and dissed multiple ex-lovers, calling Jessica Simpson ‘sexual Napalm.’

More significantly, Mayer offended millions with his comments about his self-proclaimed sexual aversion to ‘black women’ and his use of what he calls ‘the N word.’  Is anyone going to buy Mayor’s sobered-up damage-control campaign?  It’s cutting no ice with me.

Mayer already had a reputation as a womanizer after his on-again off-again flings with Simpson and Jennifer Aniston . But the scope and depth of his new notoriety seems to have taken even him by surprise.

Surely exceeding the Tweeter limit of 140 characters, Mayer Tweeted his dismay:

“I am sorry that I used the (‘N’) word. And it’s such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself…but it’s gotten out of hand and I’ve created somewhat of a monster…I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock.  I don’t have the stomach for it…”

What Mayer doesn’t yet seem to get is that many who’ve read his twisted words will no longer have the stomach for him.  Is this one ‘tell-all’ celeb. who went too far?  Or is it possible to go too far in these over-the-top times?  After all, the Comcast links on this Playboy interview story included a link to a ‘full John Mayer concert.’  Will Mayer survive this ‘full’-court meltdown?  WDYT?
