Do you recall last week's little tidbit about Ewan McGregor and how he was allegedly, openly flaunting an affair with his costar, Melanie Laurent, in Paris? It turns out that Ewan might not have been her first choice - she originally had Brad Pitt in her sights! I guess Brad wasn't ready to bust out of the prison he's in - or perhaps he did take the bait and that's why Angelina Jolie's neck looks like a python. Muscles bulge when clinched in anger and denial! Details, via Celebitchy: [Last week, there was some breaking news when Ewan McGregor
was photographed strolling around Paris at night hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm with
French actress Melanie Laurent, best known to American audiences for her
performance in Inglourious Basterds. Ewan is married, you see, and has been for
15 years. And Melanie is not that wife. So, scandal, except most people pretty
much think that Ewan and his wife Eve have an open relationship, so the most
Ewan can be accused of is indiscretion. Star Magazine has a piece about Ewan
and Melanie, but they included a new twist on the story: apparently, before
Melanie got her hands on Ewan, she tried to seduce Brad Pitt on the Basterds
set. Merde! Homewrecker FAIL!!! No, what was that again? You mean Melanie was
the one who was after Brad, and not Diane Kruger, as widely reported?!? You
mean the tabloids lied? Yeah. And as for the whole "Melanie is the one pushing
herself on taken men" thing...hmm.]
Melanie is nothing if not bold! It takes some serious balls to tangle with Angelina. Does she really think she could withstand the onslaught of a Jolie smackdown? Please, Laurent is a mere mortal. However, I do appreciate Mel's bid to make Brangelina interesting. More details from the Star magazine print edition, via Celebitchy:
[Move over, Angelina Jolie - blonde stunner Melanie Laurent
is emerging as Hollywood's top man stealer! Although Melanie failed to snare Angie's mate, Brad Pitt
when the two worked on Inglourious Basterds, Melanie has now set her sights on
married dad of three, Ewan McGregor.
The duo, who finished shooting the drama Beginners in December, left a Paris eatery hand in hand on February 9. "Melanie was snuggling up to Ewan," says an observor. "They were very tender with each other."
Another insider says Ewan's 15 year marriage to Eve is no
obstacle for Melanie: "Melanie is shameless. She flirted with Brad constantly
during filming and was extremely touchy-feely. He didn't give in to her - but
it looks like Ewan is hardly pushing her away!"]
Click on the above Celebitchy links for photos of Brad, Angie, Melanie and Ewan. While I do wish Brad would stray, this obviously isn't the gal for the job. Allegations aside, I'm loving the thickening of the plot...
