Virtually *none* of their online registry @ Tiffany.com has been filled - which hints that most family/friends were well aware that this shitshow was off long before the actual wedding day.

This chick is a piece of work. I'm friends with several people who have known/worked with him for years. People who know his faults and are honest about them. But her story is bullshit.

She was abusive to his staff, throwing fits and tantrums when they didn't treat her with enough deference. She has pushed for a wedding for at least a year and would check into hotels as "Mrs. Todd English." His kids despised her. He has wanted out for a very long time and everyone is his camp is so relieved that it's finally, finally over.

@eastofwest: OK, so why then not break up with her long, long ago? She sounds like no prize, but he sounds like an immature child who doesn't like confrontation.

yep, and why wasnt the reception canceled? Something is not right here, was he afraid of her and figured he could avoid her wrath by just not showing up?

@tonilost: Did you read the article? Apparently the wedding was canceled a week before, but she went ahead with the reception anyway, in part as a publicity/spin ploy. And also I'm sure it was too late to get the deposits back for the event. If my wedding fell apart a week before, I might do the same thing.

@Atilla the Bun: I'd be calling up Second Harvest and then saving money on the booze, etc. I'm sure she thought she would get back at him by exposing him as a jerk, but they both sound like completely self-involved idiots.

I miss celebrity scandals where the parties involved were, in fact, celebrities. I'm old-fashioned like that.

From the puffy Page Six article:
"I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'm upset at the way it was handled. When I look back, I realize that I asked every single question a woman should have asked. He just avoided details. I've been thinking about it a lot, and I could really be bitter, but I actually still believe in love."

OH HAI! That's a poorly executed Gouldism unless accompanied by a rooftop swimsuit pic.

He got dem goat debbil-eyes. (Yes, I mean Satan.). That girl got away from something infernal. But she seems a bit of a gold-digger herself, so it's a draw.

How about they both just fuck themselves for eternity in soulless Manhattan bars? It's pretty much what they both deserve. SO. STYLISH. Ugh.

Some media friends in Miami ran into him on his wedding night at Wall - no women in sight - just English and a guy friend very drunk. They also claim to have known about the break-up the week before.

Is that a popular goth pose? The arms stick straight at the sides while leaning forward slightly?

Don't get me wrong, I totally love them. I just think the photo is a good candidate for Awkward Family Photos.

That's actually not as hard to be as it used to be - - now that the crusty old Francistas Fascists are dying off.

Um, Foster: the United Jewish Appeal is not making cash. It's being extremely sexy and being unfathomably funny. And if you don't believe me, ask my doorman, er...my agent.

"A light unto the nations"………Where is Barack’s (now 9 months overdue) personalized Presidential address to the "Ongoing Israeli Siege" victims of Gaza? They’ve been having a "sweet" dust-eating and "fasting" holiday ever since Obama’s inaugural fete in January.

Somewhere between his peace proffering lines are (hopefully) his true words and unreserved feelings:

"FREEZE ALL THE DAMNED CONSTRUCTION ON ALL ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS WITHIN THE UNITED NATION’S DECLARED ’67 OCCUPIED ZONE OF THE WEST BANK – "NOW" -- NETANYAHU! AND QUIT FORCING PALESTINIANS OUT OF THEIR HOMES IN EAST JERUSALEM – "NOW" – NETANYAHU! AND ANSWER TRUTHFULLY AT THE INEVITABLY-US-CONGRESS-ENDORSED UNITED NATIONS ENDORSED INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL WITH REGARD TO YOUR MOST RECENT INDISCRIMINATE MASSIVE BOMBING OF GAZA…while I kept silent…on your/our/my behalf…AND IMMEDIATELY GET ON WITH THE TWO-STATE PEACE PROCESS IN ABSOLUTE GOOD FAITH -- OR WE WILL IMPOSE STRICT SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL -- AND RECOGNIZE THE STATE OF PALESTINE UNILATERALLY!!!…have I made myself clear…

sincerely,
President Barack H. Obama."

@adiam7: Sorry. I just focused on between the lines of Kamer’s plausibly angst-driven humor, and Obama’s oft’ repeated yuletide peace-to-all-men-despite-all-the-millions-of-innocent-Muslim-WOT-casualties/refugees/victims of foreign occupation and ongoing/past ignored war crimes HYPOCRISY.

With decidedly irreverent disregard for Gawker decorum or "rules of engagement" or presumed non-J-Street bias…I was shooting for dark, wooden, over-the-top, CAP-LOCKED!!! sarcasm…at least…in part…towards the…very end.

What was the question again?:)
