Today's Evil Beet Gossip

So Happy Together!

Eh, I want to like Claire Danes, I really do. I liked her in My So-Called Life. But I cannot get over that whole thing where she stole Billy Crudup from Mary-Louise Parker after Mary-Louise got pregnant. Like, I’m sure, at this point, even Mary-Louise Parker is way over that. I, however, am not. I still kind of get a little bristly when I see Claire, even in this new relationship with Hugh Dancy.

Anyway, here’s Hugh and Claire at the Gucci show in Rome. They were the only U.S. stars there. There were a ton of Italian stars. The Italian stars have the coolest names ever. Some examples (and hopefully some Italian search-engine traffic!): Myriam Catania, Vittoria Belvedere, Claudia Pandolfi, Alba Rohrwacher, Chiara Martegiani, Eros Galbiati, Clementina Montezemolo, Chiara Conti, Carolina Crescentini, Dorothea Mercouri, Isabella Ferrari, Ilaria Spada, the list goes on and on! Italian stars have the best names. I really spend an absurd amount of time thinking about what I’d use as a stage name if I ever decided to go into acting (don’t worry, I don’t plan to go into acting, I just like to think about my name), and I really think now that I’d have to go with a last name of “Belvedere” or “Ferrari.” Just so unbelievably awesome.

Oh, and one more thing: you know those loose, long floral dresses that Nicole Richie’s been looking ridiculous in all around town lately? They were all over the Gucci runway yesterday. Somehow, they look way less ridiculous on the models.

  • It’s definitely in bad taste to involve yourself with a man in a relationship, especially when his lady is pregnant. (And a character flaw if done more than once.)
    It’s a character flaw to play around when you’re in a relationship.
    It’s a GINORMOUS character flaw to leave your pregnant lady.

  • “Belvedere” means “nice view”…. i’m italian… and Alba Rohrwacher is of german descent i think…. bye

  • No one can “steal” away a man. How does that work? Break up a marriage or a realtionship? If your man cheats or dumps you it has nothing to do with you or the “other” woman. It just means that he is a cheating pig. And women can be cheating pigs also.

    If you are in a rock solid relationship NOTHING and NO ONE will come between you.

    You simply cannot steal a man. They go along willing.

  • Hugh Dancy is British, not American. He’s absolutely yummy. Claire isn’t good enough for him

  • Beet, thank you! I feel the same way about Claire Danes. I loved her in My So-Called Life, but that whole thing about Billy Crudup made me think a lot less of her. Of course, it made me think a TON less of Billy Crudup, because it he was such a cad to Mary Louise.

    I know I’m being judgmental about Claire, but when your potential suitor has a pregnant girlfriend at home, you should tell him to go home to his g/f, and most definitely, keep your own panties ON. Since she didn’t, she has this shady-move taint on her image, imho.

    I said “taint”. Heh, heheheh huh heh.

  • Claire Danes nauseates me, in every way.
    Tramp. I could care less how “good” she looks. Dating a man with a pregnant girlfriend makes you a sleazy whore.

  • i love claire danes – such a good actress. i do think it is a very bad idea to date a married man (especially one with a pregnant wife) but i agree with whatev – you can’t steal someone from their spouse and you can’t break up a happy marriage.

  • Claire Danes is scandelous! She’ll pull a Denise Richards’ stunt soon and go for one of her “friends” guys. We can call it, My So Called Best Friend.

  • funny i was just watching melrose place reruns circa 1994 and wishing long flowy romantic floral dresses would come back in again and you could wear one without looking like a mormon.

  • I thought you liked the stars with character flaws, Beet?

    Whatever, I love Claire for her acting talents, and don’t really give a shit what she did in the past. Like whatev said, she didn’t do it all by herself!

  • Claire is hotter than Mary-Louise imo, but I wish she’d quit the tanning while she’s still a little ahead. She looks much better with a paler skin tone.

  • I have negative thoughts every time I see Claire Danes too! Getting with a man who has a pregnant girlfriend is beyond sleazy (the guy’s obviously a worse offender, but that doesn’t excuse anything). I think Mary Louise Parker is about a million times hotter than Claire Danes, too. Claire’s never looked especially cute to me. Beady little eyes and liver lips. Gross. Love her shoes in that picture, though.

  • wow! i feel EXACTLY the same way. i mean far be it for me to give my two cents on a relationship i Knew nothing about, but man, did i ever hate claire danes for what she did. i know adultery probably happens a million times a day in hollywood, but god, the woman was pregnant! how could you possibly look at yourself in the mirror after doing that?

    they often say that relationships that begin with unfaithfulness, end with unfaithfulness. so true, because she totally cheated on crudup’s ass with dancy, if i’m not mistaken.

  • WOW claire danes you suck….I likED you….booooooo and you sucked in the movie Evening boooooooo on you and dating someone with a pregnant wife should be the definition of whore…..
