Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz split

Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz have decided to separate. In a joint statement they say they’ve “decided to take time off as a couple. Due to busy work schedules and so much time apart, they mutually decided four weeks ago that separating was the best thing to do at this time.” Plus the stench of weed coming out of McConaughey’s house was probably a little overpowering for Cruz. And sure, the late night nude bongo sessions were fun at first, but it takes a little more than that to keep a woman interested. Although don’t ask me why. I see a naked woman playing with her bongos and she’s won my heart forever. Get it? Bongos? It’s like you’re in eighth grade all over again!

It’s been niggling at the back of my mind for some time that Bradley Cooper looks so much like another A-list Hollywood celebrity. And then it hit me, it’s Matthew McConaughey! Have you spotted their likeness? I sure have! So let me point them out to you.

    Since when has Penelope Cruz had a career? I think William Holden gets more work than her.

    And how did Krisdylee not get “first”??? Fingers must be too occupied elsewhere to get to the keyboard in time.

    Does Penelope Cruz remind anyone else of a chihuahua, or is it just me?

    She misses Tom Cruise. It’s easier to remember a last name when it’s the same as hers. Too many letters in McConaughey. Damn though….she’s cute….

    Who’s William Holden?

    he has an oddly shaped head. lumpy, maybe mishapen, something odd with the placement of the ears.

    William Holden’s dead apparently. So #2 is saying she gets less work than a 25-year old corpse.

    Although I’m going to regret asking this….

    #7: Some time ago, I vaguely recall you arguing pretty strenuously that you aren’t female. However, today you state:

    “He is the most beautiful man in the entire world. Did you see him on Oprah yesterday? Wow. Now that’s a man.”

    Quo vadis?

    Good News! That should free up some time for him to get started on that highly anticipated sequel of “Two for the Money”

    I don’t really know much about Penelope, except that she’s teensy and seems to have an unfortunate habit of doing something to her hair that makes it bigger than the entire rest of her body… but any woman that lets a man like that out of her grasp is clearly not thinking straight.

    Of course, she did date Tom Cruise for a while, so… I don’t know what I was expecting.

    @14-

    Allow me to answer that. He is GAY. GAY, GAY, GAY!!! But he’s probably in denial of that fact, which would explain the constant hostility, stupidity, and possibly the annoying, retarded posts. I don’t know HOW it all ties together, but I suspect it does. Point being, HWMNBN and his alter-ego are gay, and they are retards. And I hope they get their ass beat by the whole damn gay pride parade for denying their true sexuality.

    26: When I used to work in D.C., a group of lesbians held a protest rally (for God knows what) on Capital Hill. One group was actually pretty funny – they all came in combat boots, fatigue pants, and blue t-shirts that said “TWAT Team” in yellow on the back.

    You’re confused. Those blokes love the guy-on-guy thing as much as you do. More. Much more. A lot.

    i think it was their accents that drew them together, but afterwhile it also drove them apart…eventually matthew hired a translator and learned that penelope was had been leaving messages on his voicemail for months, informing him of various sexual escapades that would be keeping her from seeing him that evening. and penelope was informed by a friend that matthew’s frequent “joking” about going off for the weekend to do some “brokebackin’” was a red flag.

    I’ve always considered him to be pretty hot, particularly when he’s shirtless. But in that mug shot his hairline is definitely receding. Next comes the beer belly. Won’t be long now…
