Meg Ryan - “InStyle” October 2008

hmmm @ 09/24/2008 at 12:16 am

Jennifer Aniston already do those ex hubby backstabbing back in 2005, probably will do it again with her new reconstructed face this coming December. she had a movie coming out this year end. expect another round of how she’s coping with the divorce of almost 4 yrs.

The great thing about Dennis Quaid is that he never, ever said a disparaging word about Meg to friends and acquaintances, much less to the public. He was actually quite well known for that, so much as he seems to have cheated on her, at least he respected her enough to not add to the burden.

For Meg to open herself up like this and air her laundry about Russell Crowe and Dennis Quaid just makes her look classless….she must need the attention badly, now that her career has gone to ****.

Jared - please could you post the Kate Walsh Hollywood pin-up photo from this issue ? Thanks

Meg Ryan feels liberated now that she has let in her private side to the whole world.. Good to know. Perhaps out of courtesy to her children, she could have spared us the details.

In style is not a tabloidy mag, i am surprised she bothered to spill so much for them. She should have chosen People mag so the whole world could be sure of the details and we would be spared round 2 when the next movie (if there is one) comes out.

Real World what happened to hayden Christensen?

#37, Dennis now has a wife and two babies. How is he similar to Aniston? Just because you think he rode Ryan’s coat tails.

Dennis was not Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt hot but he was a good actor and got steady stream of roles. Personally I think he has more depth than Pitt and Cruise with Cruise at the bottom. Ryan too was not sizzling hot. To be fair, Aniston generated more public affection, albeit on the account of being Pitt’s wife (now ex) more. I did not and still don’t think either Ryan or Quaid rode each other coat tail.

Dennis never said a word about his divorce or the fact that Ryan left him on the account of a sexual fling (as she now claims). Whether he cheated on Ryan or not, he keeps his mouth tightly shut; this is a conduct of a gentleman. Ryan, by trashing him now, has washed all her goodness toward him away. This is unfortunate for her because real men don’t really want to hook up with a woman who will likely to air their dirty laundry in public. If she wanted to be alone, that is a good way to get her desire met. Here, she meets her rom com American Sweetheart squarely.

By the way, I was comparing the three men as actors only.

She has the right to clear up the story. I mean her ex cheated her on for years when they were married and when she had an affair, the media branded her as a bad wife and made dennis look like he was a victim. We never knew why Meg left Dennis or why she had an affair or if Dennis’ affairs were true. She never even once said anything about her husband wandering eye when they were married. . She is trying to tell her fans that its not fair what happened to her and how her career changed when her affair with russell became known .yet with Dennis’ affair-it never affected his career. Men seem to survive scandals when women in the entertainment industry don’t. Look at Winona Ryder vs Robert Downey jr. Charlie sheen vs Tatum O’neal,

I don’t feel Meg cheated at all.

Quaid lived in New Orleans and was ******** everything in site for years. Been there, seen that.

Meg was alone in California for years, for all purposes single, home alone with her so and ignored.

She finally just left a fake marriage when someone loved her again.

Hollywood tabloids branded her an adultress becuase it made $$$ on the newstands, but it destroyed her “girl next door” career.

Meg has every right to answer questions that set the record striaght.

Voe
I do agree that there was alot more public sympathy for Jen when she and brad divorced.
She worked the media did her pasive agresive thing.
meg on the other hand really didn’t seem to care at all about the way the media was branding her.
I don’t think she relized the effect it would have on her career
I mean this woma by all accounts was a star, she had carried many movies.
I do not believe Jen has really carried any movies, the ones that have done well were allways done with co stars who could carry the movies by themselves.
I think the one excception was the break up which it could be argued had alot to do with the success Vince Vaughn had at the time.
He was just coming off wedding crashers which did real well at the box office.
I guess what I am trying to say it that Jennifer is alot of hype but Meg ryan actually had real success.
they are similiar in the fact that they both have bombed at the box office when they have tried to play bad girls.
I think the only reason meg brought it up was because it pertained to the story line in the movie.
It just came out and she is not as gaurded as she used to be.
Maybe she has forgoten how the media works and got a little to comfortable spilling it.
I personaly enjoy Dennis acting, I agree that he is a great actor.
I do not agree that he has more depth then Brad.
I really don’t know how you make that assumption. He does play some intense characters but a man who does not know how to keep his **** in his pants does not have more depth.
What I meant by he has more in common with jen was by the mere fact that he was the less famous partner in a famous marrige and that when it broke up the media pinned him as the victim.

magnolia,

You forgot to read my next posts. I did not mean Dennis is deeper a man in private life and characters. I don’t know him. Nor do I know Pitt. So I was only referring to their acting.

Indeed Meg didn’t seem to care and really back then I didn’t give the divorce much thought. Still don’t and this is to all divorces. People have their reasons to end marriage and these reasons are always justifiable to them. I like people who give no explanation to non-involved parties (meaning us) about their actions. This is why I find Meg’s airing old laundry disappointing (because I did like her). I do like Dennis and Pitt (Spielberg, Hanks, and a few more (Cruise excluded)) for keeping mum about their divorce. Some said Dennis was quiet because he cheated. Be that as it may, if he were nasty he could have milked the Meg’s public evidence of cheating. He didn’t and for that he deserves the credit of keeping with old South’s gentlemanly conduct.

I did enjoy Meg’s movies and thought she was quite charming and cute. Can’t say the same about Aniston as I could not watch more than 15 minutes of movies with her in it and don’t find her look cute or charming.

And it is totally shameful how a lot of people here enthusiastically trashes Ryan, in a most ugly way.
I bet in their real life they would never dare to say anything like this to a real person - eye to eye; even to those who really did something bad to them.
In Ryan however - who obviously never did anything bad to them! - they obviously just see a sort of “easy target”.
Because of
1) it is safe - as of course she will never respond, and
2) it’s just a trivial jealousy! - so sepf-petting and “satysfying” for a spoiled weak natures.
Many people, especially such ones who are just loosers in their real life, somehow feels it makes them “better”, “higher”, “more perfect” and successful - if they will trash a famous person in a dirty way.
Ha-ha… as if they themselves are really so much ideal, perfect and beautiful in their real life… ridiculous.
If these Ryan “critics” would be really such a moral, highly-etical and perfect person themselves - they would obviously NEVER permit themselves such an evil, bitter and obviously jealous remarks.
Truly a “test for ugly souls”.. and a few passes :>
