I don’t think they’re married, _per se_ **RikWriter** ---

I was heartbroken when Liam Neeson married Natasha Richardson, she being the second worst actress (after Melanie Griffith) I have ever seen in my life. ---

I just hate to see the lovely Sarah Michelle “Buffy Summers” Gellar married to that no talent pretty boy Fred Prinze Jr. ---

Oh, and I don’t know about the “great actress” bit but my ex-flatmate who used to be mad for Rose McGowan _completely_ went off her when she started going out with Marilyn Manson. Don’t blame him really. ---

Probably at Yahoo! or IMDB, since I don’t go searching for “the buzz” very often. Only time I do it’s to get the latest skinny on The Sopranos. That may have led me to see the Jolie/Sutherland thing. I don’t recall marriage being in the picture yet, but you know Hollywood: marriage Friday, divorce Monday. Who’s to say? ---

My respect for Sarah Silverman took quite a plunge when I found out that she’s been Jimmy Kimmel’s love biscuit for a while. Their affair was apparently an “open secret” in comedy circles for a while. Now he and his wife are getting divorced . . . Anyway, Silverman is hilarious, Kimmel drives me nuts. ---

**Interrobang!?** Exactimundo! I only recently became familiar with Silverman by way of a shot of hers on Bill Maher’s newer show. She is hilarious and cute to boot, and I saw IMDB’s rundown of her career and realized I’d been missing a great deal. Way underexposed for my tastes. She needs her own show. Wasn’t Kimmel on _The Man Show_? ---

Uma Thurman is ugly?? What?! Catherine Zeta-Jones has made me dislike Michael Douglas – I guess it was that comment she made in court that (parphrasing) “$6 million might be a lot of money to the people in this room, but it’s not a lot to us.” Bitch! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zeldar \* > \*\*There’s a great line from somewhere about some gal being compared with Liz in that you didn’t have to marry her to have sex with her.

Thanks a heap, **watsonwil** , for that correction. I was having trouble remembering which Sopranos character would have said it. I do recall Uncle Junior having the hots for Angie Dickinson, but the marriage aspect of that wasn’t coming together. That was an OK rehash of the Rat Pack’s era, for my money. ---

Then Michael had a line, right after their first child was born about how he wanted another child quickly and pretty much insinuated that he would talk Catherine into it. He just creeps me out. Antonio Banderas’ career seems to have sunk like a rock since marrying baby-doll Griffith. He needs a woman with a voice that doesn’t sound like she sucks helium all the time. ---

Nicholas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley…please. I know it was a short lived union but IMO the LMP/Jacko Wacko pairing was made in heaven, I mean could we have found two more unappealing and gut wrenchingly weird individuals on planet Earth? Well, maybe but they’re right up there. And while I’m hijacking this thread to include musicians; Billy Joel and Christy Brinkley as well as Paul McCartney and Heather Golddigger, I mean WTF was Paul thinking? After all, it’s pretty obvious what BJ was thinking, but Paul, c’mon dude you can do _lots_ better (me for instance). ---

I’ll second the Courtney Cox and David Arquett thing. Every time I see a publicity shot of them I think “She dresses so nice, how can she stand to look at him in those STUPID clothes” Although, I gotta say, I like them a little more after that Coke commercial they did. He didn’t act like half the spaz he usually does. ---

Drew Barrymore and Tom Green deserved each other since I loathe both of them. I never cared for Sarah Silverman (the cute girl who talks dirty, which is pretty much her whole act, wears thin quickly for me), but I lose all respect for anyone who sleeps with Jimmy Kimmel. The time she was on his show singing that “song” about him having diarrhea, I said to myself I hope her career suffers for being with him. I lost most of my attraction for Catherine Zeta-Jones when she hooked up with Michael Douglas. He was always good at playing creeps and scoundrels, but now he looks like a gila monster in a a bad hairpiece as well. I thought Kate Hudson has potential as a good comedic actress, but when she married washed up pot rocker Chris Robinson I began to wonder if she really was as dumb as the characters her mom used to play. He always got on my nerves. A decent rock singer voice, but a horrible songwriter, and an ego way out of proportion with reality. ---

Not married per se, but I can’t stand Anne Heche, and I’ve always liked Ellen DeGeneres. Anne just jumped on a lesbian bandwagon for long enough to get her name known. “I’m gay! I’m gay! I’m…famous?” “I’m straight!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/great-actors-or-actresses-you-despise-for-being-married-to-someone-you-hate/186546.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/great-actors-or-actresses-you-despise-for-being-married-to-someone-you-hate/186546.md?page=3)
