Gossip FROM the Stars

So lately the big brou-haha about Tom and Katie (ENGAGED--did you hear? Ew!) has brought about reminiscing over the bizarre circumstances that may have surrounded the Tom and Nic divorce.

Here's a theory, by the stars themselves:

A friend of a friend was accompanying a famous actress pal of hers to a party. In the kitchen were several high-profile players--including the biggest director of our time, and one of the biggest actors of our time (hint: both are neighbors in the Palisades and have made several movies together).

The group was bandying about theories about the then-recent Tom and Nic divorce. "So is he gay, or what? Is that actually true?" someone wondered.

"Here's what I heard," came a response. "I heard that when she got pregnant, it was a total surprise to Tom. She had told him from the beginning she couldn't get pregnant, so they adopted. When she got pregnant, it was his [not Ewan MacGregor's as has been rumored], and she had to confess she'd lied to him. She never wanted to bear a child because she wanted to preserve her figure."

Wow. That's a hell of a lot harder to make up than TC being gay or bi, or Nic cheating, or whatever.

Even more interesting is that celebrities, like us, wonder about the people who populate pop culture too. Gossip is universal!
