Who Has a Secret Foreign Wife?

Yesterday was tax day! You know what's not fun? Owing money. Which I did. You know what is fun? A blind item about a Hollywood movie star with a secret foreign wife. The guy at Crazy Days and Nights ran a long item yesterday that he got from his accountant. Not exactly sure what kind of breach of ethics that implies, but meh. Some actor has some foreign wife who he keeps for tax reasons (and also to protect him from girlfriends wanting to wed) and that's sort of funny and weird. Find the full item, plus something from the Brits, after the jump.

This A list actor. 95% of the time film. Single and allegedly never married. This is the first year he used this accountant and when he was reviewing the forms he noticed that he was listed as single on the tax forms. Our actor then proceeded to tell the accountant that the actor has been married for many years. The fact that he has only seen his foreign wife once in the interim did not change the fact that he was married. Our actor apparently does send money sometimes to his wife, but apparently does so in his corporate name. The accountant got the feeling that the wife actually has no idea who she is actually married to. Our actor meanwhile loves the deduction that comes with being married. It apparently is the one thing he really enjoys about being married. He also uses it as an excuse when a woman tries to pressure him into marriage. He explains to prospective future brides that although he would love to get married to them he is unfortunately already married and the process for divorce will take a year or two. In the meantime why not just live together or be girlfriend and boyfriend. Invariably the relationship dies out before the divorce becomes final. The actor never starts the paperwork and has never been challenged by the IRS about being married. They must not read the tabloids.
Then, from the Mirror: "Which Hollywood starlet is so snobby, she got producers to take back a line from a poorly-paid male extra in her latest movie - as he is a 'nobody'?" Burn! Also, there was something about a certain New York media celebrity in the Daily News today, but we'll get to that later, I'm sure.
