Yes, spot on! The blind is implying that it's one of those showbiiz marriage arrangements for gay people. But if that's what she wanted, it would make sense to link up with a more high profile partner and take advantage of the 'golden couple' publicity that would result.
Yes, it would. But even from the other angle, that they are a bona fide hetero couple, it does seem odd - sexism alert? - that a 28-year-old guy should want to get hitched with a woman 20 years older. Yes, it's possible, of course, but . . .

Then there's the unusual angle of him wanting to wait till gay marriage is legal in Oz. Admirable, of course, but why? What difference does it make if it's going to happen anyway?

Yours truly, a Tad Baffled, Godalming, Surrey.

It's a bit odd, I agree!

From CDAN:

This foreign born former A+ list mostly movie actor is still A list. He is still an A list a-hole too. Apparently he is not allowed to come near the boyfriend of his wife because he took a swing at him earlier this year. Our actor acts like he cares but he cheated for years and years before his wife left him.
A popular guess for this one is Gladiator. I can believe it! Not such a beautiful mind eh?!

He does seem to get a lot of blind items written about him these days even though he keeps himself to himself.
And it's telling the BIs about his marriage only appear on CDAN, the one site that publishes anonymous submissions.

The comments on today's BI are truly terrifying.

What does 'duel threat' mean?
Traditionally it means someone who does two out of three of: acting/singing/dancing (and a triple threat meant someone who did all three). CDAN uses their own definition of dual/triple which means someone who acts in 2/3 of film/TV/theatre.

From CDAN:

At the final tour stop for this A+ lister, her A+ list husband banned the reality star boyfriend of this Grammy winner. No one likes him. Apparently that left an opening for that German sounding former A list rapper/convict to make his move.
It's the Tidal couple again. Don't know who the Grammy winner and boyfriend are though. The rapper/convict could be translated as "Yes, lead"

Dual threat - performs in two different types of media, usually TV and film but it could be say music and film. It's an American sports term.

Cheers, thought it might be something like that

He's who I thought of immediately I read the description of 'a-hole'. By all accounts that puts it mildly.

If she was still with the F1 driver, than perhaps it would fit her as there have always been rumours about him. I've not heard any about her current boyfriend though.
Although I don't think that this blind is about her (I.e. driver-ex) to her current beau was accused of co-bearding in his previous relationship.... (is co-bearding even a word...)

The guy just might be a plain old gold-digger.

Well according to Celebrity Net Worth she's got $90m so that's worth digging for.

By the way, it's worth getting the CNW app or bookmarking the web site. Full of fascinating celeb financial info broken down Forbes/Sunday Times style.

People under the DM article are speculating that it was a drunken domestic. Who knows? Certainly odd. You don't report your car as stolen and then have it turn up outwide your husbands office at 11pm at night.
Have heard people who have met her say she likes a drink, Obviously as he is less known we don't know if they are both into it and it causes issues

She leads a glamorous global lifestyle it's not that surprising that it might be appealing. As for the gay marriage thing- it's a big campaign here at the moment

From The Gossip Life:

This band is certified A-list, one of the best selling of all time. On the rungs of musical importance, they're just below the Stones and the Beatles. Fans clamoured for a reunion for years and although it seemed possible on multiple occasions, the reunion failed to happen because of one member and one reason. Our member constantly went on a once very prominent A-list radio show, badmouthed the other members and did everything in his power to piss the fans and the record company off. Eventually the reunion happened, but the bad feelings and heartache always lived on.

Gladiator is not "foreign born" for a US site. Born in New York and lived there til aged 12.

This foreign born permanent A list singer who has multiple Grammy Awards but not an award you think she probably has, really wants her girlfriend to feel loved so our singer is thinking of coming out.

Fair point. Not a lot of people including myself probably realise that.

Could be. On the site there's a lot of different guesses but people are struggling to find evidence of someone who trash talked their own band.

From CDAN:

It has been a bad couple of years for this former A list mostly movie actor. Yes, he does have an ongoing role in a franchise after failing in another, but his personal issues have dragged him down. The closeted actor thinks he needs to find another woman and go full on beard for awhile to restore his brand.

Hurt Locker? I've heard rumours about him before.

Was my first thought, Even though as a fan i think they are overplaying how important they are. Can't think of anyone else who fits and has the type of person in the band who would do all that

Certainly fits although I don't know about the closeted. Being an action star he's not going to be in a rush to come out.

Just below the Stones and Beatles? Debatable.

Is the word heartache a clue I wonder. The ones with the hotel in the western U.S. state. I don't really know the history of their break-up/reunion(s) but they're big enough on that side of the pond are they not?

Hmm...I'm looking at this one from the Dark Side Of The Moon personally....
