Don’t Marry Uma’s Ex

by Marinka on February 4, 2010

There things that I haven’t told you about, because I am superduper private (check out my webcam!) and also because I want to come across as relatable and likeable. For example, I haven’t told you that because we have children that are almost exactly the same age, I’ve seen Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke several times at various places. And I haven’t told you that one day, when I was with Young Ladrinka at a sporting event, Ethan Hawke was there with his new wife.

But now I’ve told you, so I may as well tell you that there was an older man there, some kid’s grandfather and he was talking to the people that he was with, a little louder than was strictly necessary, and he said, “That guy over there is an actor and he used to be married to one of the most beautiful women in the world. Not that one,” motion to the new Mrs. Hawke, “I don’t know what THAT is, but the one who was in Pulp Fiction.”

Now the new wife was more beautiful than most women, but I think we can all appreciate the moral of this story.

Don’t marry Uma’s ex.

I think this is a very good lesson. I’ve given this some thought….I could totally be the next average girl that gets picked up alla Matt Damon…but then I’d be the girl everyone says “Why’s he with ?” and that kills the dream every single time!

Another important life lesson? Celebrities are hard of hearing, so it’s fine to talk about them loudly and within a normal person’s earshot because they can’t hear anyway. Everyone knows that.

Awww, I think it is sweet that you want to pretend to be a normal person and not give away how impressive you really are 🙂

I promise that when Ethan gets rid of that ugly one, I will not marry him.
I also promise not to marry Brad Pitt post-Angelina. Or that french model guy once Halle Berry tires of him. I am not a waitress, so I think I am safe from the attentions of George Clooney.

you don’t think uma looks a little like a drag queen sometimes?

I think that Uma looks absolutely perfect. As do some drag queens.

Don’t know about Uma’s ex, I’m worried about Tim (i.e., Susan’s ex). How can I not take him? and don’t even get me started about Neil, ok? Just don’t.

I think Uma’s got some nerve herself, dating Elle MacPherson’s ex.

I love how people point at celebs. Like it’s suddenly okay to point at people in public.

See this is why I’m sticking around (and why you should never leave Husbandrinka). I’d hate for my husband’s new wife to have to endure such scrutiny and criticism after I’m gone. Poor thing.

See, that’s exactly how I picture New York: All the cool people showing up in the same place at the same time. Tell me that’s how it really is.

I would take my chances marrying Uma’s ex in order to get that close to Ethan Hawke. Just sayin’.

I’ll keep that in mind, but no guarantees!

I would marry Ethan Hawke in a damn heartbeat even if I was known as Ethan’s ugly ass 3rd wife. He had me at “Reality Bites.”

Did you read the piece on his in New York Magazine? Made me love him more.

Of course I’ve never seen her in real life (you have a glamourous, exciting life, we know you do, Marinka!)..I have never understood men’s fascination with Uma Thurman. I don’t think she is pretty…interesting-looking, maybe. But so many men (in my life) have thought she is just amazing. They usually didn’t stay in my life long, come to think of it…

My fantasies about marrying various movie stars have never gone very far due to the obvious problem of me needing to lose 10 lbs and not being gorgeous and all of the perplexed looks that we’d get in public. apparently my imagination can’t make the stretch to me looking different. Shame really.

I can’t even imagine how much worse it would be if said star used to be married to another famous gorgous person. So unfortunately, I’ll just never be able to marry a movie star.
