:laugh: Yeah right like I would ever ask him about his exes/current girlfriend drama/dating history when I'm already picturing him as my future ideal hubby.
Who says he's not the one trying to corner me? :p Fortunately, I'm not a nun nor sweaty :cool:
If we're meant to be... or not... or just a random shag among many :laugh: only time will tell.
He may not be as hot as he is today though, unless he ages like fine wine and stops smoking.
But I might be a bigger player than the dude himself, who knows? :graucho:

:laugh: I happen to know the staff member who disclosed this little gossipy story all over the web, he/she shouldn't have done it in the first place, he/she should have kept his/her mouth shut since this was very very private stuff and he/she signed a non-disclosure agreement about the whole event but everyone makes mistakes I guess. There's a lot more about this story (there's always two sides to a story ;)) but I would never disclose something like that on the web (don't even ask).
Everyone should be entitled to some privacy, famous or not. :tup:

I thought the rumour about him demanding a ticket for Nicole were false? :wtf: That is sooo stingy of him to do so. She was obviously his guest as they both stayed in Paris for almost a week. He should have paid for her ticket.
Stingy men make my blood boil.:rant:

funny!

Off-topis again - About the women's literature question I think its is a problem when there is so much criticism (though it is often warranted) about things like Twilight, Fifty and romance writing. Yep, the writing is painful, the idea of trying to sit through another series like Twilight makes me sigh and the thought of a production deal for Fifty is, well, daunting. But I waded, without hope of surfacing, through those Dan Brown books and the Girl Dragon Tattoo series too and there were just as many or even problems with those works which I believe could also received the same amount of sarcasm and critique. rant over .

I never read the Twilight books. I saw 2 of the films and that is more than enough for this life time. ITA about Dan Brown and Stieg Larsson being overrated, but I guess thrillers will always be more cool than romance novels. Oh, well.

I read the reviews of The Hunger Games. Apparently this is one of the very few films that does the original source justice.

Yep, a conversation about mixed cultural couples seems bizarre in a global world.
I just was working in a place which funds, at times 'grey' financing, quite a few film and art events and I idiotically forgot about the cultural mores of the area and went to double kiss a male friend and that faux pas got the attention of the event, hopefully I was just paranoid but people seemed to freeze. So it was important to note things are not as simple and modern as they may seem. Though people are really surprising in a good way and its never the cliche you think.

In the states, Asian women and (typically) nerdy white men couples are very common. I think it has to do with some sort of strange historical fetish or whatever. Black men and white women is also fairly common and although not necessarily accepted, it's not shocking. Other combinations of white and lighter "colored" ppl is generally more accepted. However, the combination of white or Asian man and black women (or just darker skin like Indian), for whatever reason, is not common and especially frowned upon in America. I'm black and for different personal and environmental reasons, I've always dated white dude and let me tell you the stares I've gotten. And I love in California, in the bay area near SF, one of the more liberal places in the US. I also go to a big liberal and Ivy school. Even friends make comments. It very strange and unfortunate. I think it's because black women tend to be either invisible, hypersexual jezebels (a la Pam Grier), or desexualized. You don't want to date neither one of them. It's really a shame.

The funny thing is every dude I either date/get frisky with always comments how I'm their first black lady friend. I don't think quite a number of ppl aren't necessarily against it per say, they've just never considered it because it's not the norm. but of course there are also incredible ignorant peeps as well...

Yeah, the man likes his Brooklyn girls. Lol. Damn the gods for me being born but not bred there. Then again, neither were Nicole or Zoe, so... But I'm betting they live in different areas. Nicole doesn't seem like the Williamsburg type.

Oh, and thanks about the tix. Definitely hoping for a Fassy surprise. But excited regardless.



I think that in terms of appearances, it has a lot to do with where you live. If you live in an area where BW/WM sightings are common then you're probably more likely to get involved in that type of relationship as you're less likely to be looked upon with...well, with whatever people who look upon such couples look upon them with (fear, confusion, hatred, ignorance, you name it).

In the L.A. area where I live, you do see it but it's definitely not nearly as common as White men/Asian women couplings. America is far too race obsessed (and still very racially divided/segregated). And therefor, American men and women are far too race conscious. Don't let the fact that we have Black president fool you. A European man is far more likely to date a Black woman (with ease, mind you) than an American man. The ingrained racism that far too many Americans grow up with being just one reason.

And the sad fact of the matter is, Black women are the invisible women in this country. I'm not going to go any further with that because it's a long, sad, intricate topic.

So much food for thought. It seems I was wrong about the open-mindedness in Europe.
I had a convo with a friend of mine about it. She's originally from an African country, but grew up in Europe. She confirmed that within her African community black girls are still seen as gold diggers or looking for papers, if they hook up with a white man. They are also accused of trying to be 'white' and betraying their race. Not to mention the fact that when a black girl dates a white guy a lot more females will try to seduce her man, cause they think they stand a chance since he's obviously into black women.

However is a black man is dating a white woman he is saluted for it as in certain communities it is still seen as a proud accomplishment.

Not as lucky as you may think lol. He lives about 5 minutes away from me and is often about in Hackney and Shoreditch when he's home, but I have never consciously spotted him. I may have walked past him on many occasions but I'm always plugged into my Ipod, moving fast and am usually oblivious to people around me, sometimes even friends!
To be honest, he has the Eastender look down to a tee. Pretty much all the men in the area dress like and resemble him in some way.

I have heard good things about him from residents, that he's very amiable and always has a smile on his face.

Lucky girl! I love that area. It's a damn shame that the rents are sooo expensive now. I should have moved there when I was still working in the borrough. :shucks:

To chime in on the interracial couple topic I have a story too which lights a different side.
My colleague's daughter went to the US to study there and while doing that she met her Indian boyfriend. They dated for a few years and then decided to marry. His family is still living in India and just sent him and his sister to the US to study. They didn't tell them they'd married because they're very religious, that they only date but wanted to marry. Last year his family "allowed" them to marry but traditionally in India with everything that comes with such a wedding. It was a double wedding together with his sister (and her American boyfriend). It went for a week. The point of this story is that his family didn't approve of him dating a white girl neither his sister dating a white guy. They had to fight for years for her to be accepted by the family. It's not always just black, brown or whatever color that gets discriminated but sometimes even white people depending on which part of the planet you are.

Excellent example, Bagberry. I know a similar story of a Nordic girl who dated and lived together with a man from Pakistan (raised in Britain). During their 4-year relationship she was kept secret from his family. He met the girl's parents and her friends of course, but she never met his folks as they would never accept her. This is a guy who was in his late 30s! Absolutely mental!

So much food for thought. It seems I was wrong about the open-mindedness in Europe. I had a convo with a friend of mine about it. She's originally from an African country said:
I don't think you're wrong about the open-mindedness in Europe, mainly in France and Uk, I won't say the same about other countries as Spain, Italy for example. I'm African and I grew up in France, I went at school with muslims, White people, at that time everybody was dating everybody. No matter your religion or colour skin. The first guys I dated and felt in love with weren't black and it wasn't a problem at all.
That's true, mentalities are changing a little bit but I thing it's also because of our political situation, mainly In France but it's another debate...

Nowdays Black women are seen as gold digger (I don't know why, I don't think we're more gold digger than any other women) not only in Europe but also in the US. To be honest, it happens that some BW date WM for money, papers, if you see a young and beautiful woman dating an old and ugly man who could be her father you may have doubts about this relationship. But a lot of BW start dating WM at school, how can people say you're a gold digger whereas you're dating a student???

I think it's just a lack of confidence. BW in the US feel rejected when they see a rich BM with a WW, it's the same for BM here. It's more complicated than it seems.

Eh, we really don't know the ins and outs of this situation and sounds like Sassy's not talking. I'm not going to judge, especially since I don't know what the common standard is for actor's partners.
