princess 1,710 Report post Posted May 31, 2010 This story was in my local newspaper too over the weekend and I was like WTF?!?! Meg Ryan And Tim Robbins's Secret Affair Are the celeb rags just effing with us now? yourtango Star reports this week that part of the reason Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon split after more than 20 years together is his on-and-off affair with Meg Ryan, who's been more or less single since her marriage-wrecking relationship with Russell Crowe ended eight years ago. And just because it's Friday, and we are exhausted by the existence of the Kardashians and Tila Tequila and Snooki, and this news is completely insane in a mid-'90s-romcom kind of way, we're kind of hoping it's true. In the interest of full disclosure, we will mention right now that at one point in our career, we fact-checked for Star. Don't take the existence of fact-checkers at Star as any indication of actual accuracy, though. So the grain of salt you should be taking with this Robbins-Ryan story should be roughly the size of the Great Salt Lake. And yet. Star says that Meg and Tim have hooked up occasionally over the years, since they met while making the 1994 Albert-Einstein-plays-matchmaker comedy I.Q. (Really! Remember that movie? Walter Matthau played Einstein. It was adorable.) Back in 1994, Meg had a two-year-old with husband Dennis Quaid, and Tim's sons with Susan were five and three. Now the kids are pretty much grown, except for Meg's five-year-old daughter, Daisy, and both Tim and Meg are single. They were seated together while answering phones at the Jan. 22 Hope for Haiti telethon (seriously! What was in the bottled water at that freaking telethon?!) and now Star says they've been spending time together since Tim and Susan's breakup last fall. "Tim is thrilled that he doesn't have to sneak around anymore," a source told Star. "He's making it more serious with Meg. He's even been staying at her L.A. home, on occasion, for months now." It's been a little bit of fresh air this week, though, with all these stars from the '80s and '90s forcing their way back onto the front pages of the tabloids, right? Like they're elbowing aside those dimwits from The Hills and that Justin Bieber person and screaming about how they may be baby boomers, but dammit, they still deserve to be on the cover of Star! Or are we just hallucinating from trying to ignore all the people shrieking about Lost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,710 Report post Posted May 31, 2010 Tim Robbins & Meg Ryan 'just friends' Last Updated: 3:56 AM, May 27, 2010 Posted: 12:15 AM, May 27, 2010 NY Post Tim Robbins and Meg Ryan have been repeatedly spotted looking cozy together in LA, despite denying an affair. They were twice seen together last week at his Ac tors' Gang nonprofit theater group in Culver City. Robbins and Ryan recently denied reports that they had a long-term secret affair that ended his two-decade relationship with Susan Sarandon as "absolutely false." When we asked if Robbins and Ryan had started a relationship since his split with Sarandon, her rep told us, "Meg and Tim have been great friends for many years and remain so."

Freckles 79 Report post Posted January 2, 2011 from showbizspy: OHN Mellencamp has a new girlfriend! The rocker — who recently announced he and his wife, model Elaine Irwin, are splitting up after 18 years of marriage — has reportedly hooked up with actress Meg Ryan! John and Meg were seen arm-in-arm walking in TriBeCa in late October, and she has since been spotted backstage at dates on his tour. “Meg has been to a couple of recent shows,” a source told New York Post gossip column Page Six. John’s publicist, Bob Merlis, announced on Thursday that he and Elaine are said to split. He declined to say if they’d filed for divorce, but did say, “They will continue to raise their two children in Indiana but have decided to call it a day as a couple.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
