I Can't Believe They Said That

It is one thing for you or me or all of our friends to sit around and say that so and so is just dating someone to become more famous or to get some money, but I can't remember ever seeing it printed in a tabloid or a magazine. Until now.

In the UK Star, they have an article that talks about how Michelle Ryan and Jason Segel are an item and does the whole thing you always see about them at dinner and only having eyes for each other and into each other, and blah, blah, blah. The story is the same just exchange whatever people you want to put into the story. Oh, and they also kissed and did the whole couldn't keep their hands off each other thing. You have seen it and read it a million times. What makes this article completely different and what made even bother to write about them is this lovely quote at the end of the article from a "source."

"Jason is very in demand at the moment - regardless of how much she likes him personally, this is definitely going to help Michelle make a name for herself in the States."

Um wow. Did they just say that? So, this source is saying that Michelle is just doing this for the publicity? It might or might not be true but you don't actually see it ever printed. I have to give Star some credit for sticking it out there even if not true just to shake up the standard dinner and love story. Michelle of course was Bionic Woman and that totally flopped and Michelle was not universally loved on the set. I just have always got the impression though that she doesn't really give a crap if she is popular here or anywhere and is just happy acting. I also don't think that Jason Segel can help boost her career publicity wise. He might be able to get her into some movies, but he is not Mr. Tabloid and no one is going to be stalking his house to get their latest picture together so I think his effect will be limited. But, still it made for a nice little change of pace to the otherwise stale dinner romance stories.
