Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe divorcing
Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe announced in January they were separating but had hopes of working through their troubles. Well apparently they've given up on that and have decided to just go ahead and divorce. Their lawyer tells People magazine:
"Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe have jointly decided to divorce," the couple's lawyer, Jeffrey A. Bernstein, tells PEOPLE. "They continue to be friends and have the utmost respect for one another."
If you're anything like me you probably already thought they were divorced. Up until a couple hours ago I didn't even know there was a difference between separating and divorcing and have been using the words interchangeably. So, uh, if I made any wild allegations before about people being divorced who aren't actually divorced that's my bad.

They have same sex marriage in Cali?

Why is this news? Hillary Swank is probably the most forgettable two-time oscar winner ever. And who's the guy next to her?

So Chad Lowe is Rob Lowe's even less succesful brother. The last thing he had going for him was being married to this Swank dude. No he's got exactly, jackshit.

Aww, that's kind of sad! But, remember... BOYS DON'T CRY!
I think her carreer maybe got a little too big for him???
she should date George Clooney now!

It's pretty bad that Hillary looks more masculine than Chad does. I may be old-fashioned, but I like my men to act like and look like MEN. Or at least men shouldn't look so much like their wives' prettier twin sisters.

35 - I fully agree. I don't want some wimp. I want a MAN. Chad Lowe might as well get a sex change now - he'd make a fantastic nagging wife.
37. Posted by BarbadoSlim on May 26, 2006 06:42 PM
Mr. Swank got to the event late due to the fact that she had to change the tire on the family SUV as his wife, Chadsta or "Chad" Lowe looked on helplessly.
38. Posted by TrannyGranny on May 26, 2006 06:48 PM
M@ce; There is a story by Philip K. Dick called "the abortion truck" you should locate and read. It sets legal precedent for what you would like from multiple identity fucktard.
I honestly have no clue who these people are. I've heard Swank, but I don't know if it's an actor, musicion or trannie.

Maybe they can do a new reality show with has-been or never-were ex husbands. It would star Chad Lowe, John Stamos, Nick Lachey, the guy that Cowface, I mean Tori Spelling dumped, and by the time it actually airs, they can include K-Fag. Somebody call VH-1 quick.

She's a man, baby!!! Is Hillary Swank Lionel Richie's ( "old horse face" ) secret love child?
In other news, Chad Lowe has a clit like a small dick, but has decidedly non-equine facial characteristics. Thus, the divorce. Hillary wants kids, and has been unable to conceive across species boundaries.

" ... the couple's lawyer, Jeffrey A. Bernstein, tells PEOPLE."
Are they are using the same lawyer in the divorce? His wife / mare dumps him when her career takes off, and he is ambivalent. "Sure, we can use the same lawyer, if you think it's OK." Chad Lowe is truly without balls.
@55. Jennifer Garner has a smokin' body. But, the fact that she had Ben Affleck's baby somehow makes her much, much, much less attractive. Much.

Notice that Hillary has a stronger chin than Chad?
What an unusual chin on Chad, too... reminiscent of a scrotum, only... lopsided...
Like a golf ball and a grape stuffed into a infant's sock. And then stapled where his chin ought to be.

Its unfortunate that fame has a price, but probably on the advice of her agent or industry experts, and 'in light' of her 2 Oscar Best Actress Wins...she allowed her marriage to falter given a need to have a relationship with someone who is "as successful as herself". Look back into the
Oscar past, and you see Julia Roberts,
Sally Field, and Halle Berry all let their
current relationships falter right after garnering OSCAR.... Some were married some
were not...but allowed 4+yr relationships
to falter. I do know if 3+ time Oscar winners Better Davis & Merle Streep have
maintained long standing relationships during their Oscar winning years ...but I doubt it.

Well,
I fully understand Hilary Swank acts for a living but, she does come off as one of the few good people in the biz. Then again she is a actor so... of course it could be a act.
Here is something few people may think about with Swank. She came for a poor background so my guess is that she spends most of her time trying to "fit" in with all of the hollywood wack jobs and she even moved to New York to get away from hollywood. The point being, I bet she thinks like a everyday person and looks on divorcing someone as a truely bad thing. I mean in hollyfake few if anything is real.
My guess is that Lowe looked on the marriage as a score early on because when they married Swank was not making it in the biz. Then she took a big risk and sold herself out for the Boys don't cry part and from that point on the poor thing has been looked on as a man<----truely unfair and very mean.
She did the samething with Million Dollar Baby. It was a big risk because she was playing yet again a strong female part. I think it just goes to show how much talent she has that she can pull off those parts so well. She really made you feel that Maggie was a real person and I am very sure she was drawing of her own life being that she came from a humble start with a big dream.
She lives a low key lifestyle next to most of the stars so... I think she would be better off looking for a everyday guy that would be happy for her when he does well. As was stated on this board before it's clear Lowe could not handle her doing better than him as a actor<----what kind of love is that!!
As far as her looks go, the key is her smile, she has what I call a loving winning smile. You can see and feel love and joy in it which I think makes her very pretty.
I hope it works out for her.
Best wishs Hilary.
