Many people won't agree with me on this one, but it's just the truth. Her near marriage to the actor is nothing more than a stunt for publicity. Her divorce's another stunt. The marriage is perfect to boost their careers which seem to be struggling. I'm so sure that Rachael doesn't have minimal feelings for the guy. I can be willing to say that she's in love with someone else. The other guy has the problem that he doesn't fits her social standards. She's a highly famous actress. The other guy's a crook. Her family is not willing to accept this so she's engaged with the first actor that was around, not much the best one. It's a very touching story, also very real and ironic. It's the landmark of hipocrisy, the beauty and the beast. Time may prove me wrong. Time will prove me right. That's why I stopped caring.

I cannot agree with you because she isn't the type of actress who whould do everything to push up her own career. She is in love with someone else? Haha good joke, why should she first announce a fake relationship instead of showing her "secret" love? And social standards? Have you ever heard that she's not down to earth, that she believes more in money and prestige to upper classes than going out with poor people?
And about the family thing (lol!) that they don't accept "him", she's adult and her own boss and she can do whatever she wants. Further more she has a strong will. I believe when she became vegetarian, her parents didn't join her but respected it (TR can correct me if I'm wrong )...

That's the irony of it.

Divorce...and publicity huh?

put down the crack pipe.

Everybody needs to start their own fire
Everybody needs a riot of their own
Everybody needs to be something that they are not
Everybody needs to go it alone
...
All the time spent hanging on to anything
All the time spent knowing that they're wrong
All the time wasted, stolen back, innocent
You won't get a second more so move it along

My biggest wish in the world is to be wrong.

Hey, I think you got it wrong on this one man. Look at her face when she's looking at him. She's in love with him.

*picks up pad's crack pipe* gimme some of that man...

I certainly hope she's in love with him. good for her.

Exactly what I was going to say. That's the face of a girl who's head-over-heels.

Funny thing is, I know exactly what his response to this is going to be.

what, that she's a good actress? Sure she is.

That is sure as hell no reason to go slandering a well-respected, well-known actress.

Jealousy or what, I'm not sure why you said that, but I'd ask that you don't continue to slander people, it's insulting to her as well as us.

TR, Moosegirl, please close this topic.

The most ironic thing, my guess is a 'secret love' and what is a love story along the lines of Romeo and Juliet would make much larger waves amongst the press than the marriage of two middling actors.

Yeh, but thats the irony of it

I may be the only one here... but I didn't take padroni's post seriously at all. I just took it as a joke. I thought it was kinda funny. If he meant it seriously, I think someone needs some help. hehe

Also, ArchaicEchelon, please shorten your signature. My goodness it's long! lol

Well, I just took it as a completely absurd statement. Marrying someone just for publicity? LOL I mean, has ANYONE done that? Even the ultimate media-cravers wouldn't be that idiotic. I doubt Britney's marriage was a publicity stunt... I think she was simply being a bit loopy at the time. (I'm sure alcohol helped the situation. ) Anyway, I just couldn't see truth in the post above at all, and because of that, the complete absurdity of it is what made me laugh.

I'll say it again... if he was being genuine, it is definitely beyond anything I may have ever read on here before.

I was about to say: "If by loopy you mean drunk, then yes" but then read your statement in parenthesis

The frailty of the human heart is a mixed blessing. Put it into the heart of Hollywood and you understand why Hollywood pays $50,000 for a kiss and fifty cents for one's soul. I believe that is a quote from Marilyn Monroe, but I could be wrong.

Rachael loves Daniel. Daniel loves Rachael.

The down side of Hollywood publicity is that bad press is good press. Britney may have had alcohol on her side when she got married, but her later profession of believing in the sanctity of marriage was very hypocritical, since she got married as part of a "joke that went to far." She got her name in the headlines, and that's all that matters. Until Michael Jackson does something stupid and steals the headlines away from her. Who's gonna come up with the next stunt that goes awry? If Britney has Michael's love child, they can have all the headlines they want. Just don't tell me about it. Let them fade away into obscurity, please, pretty please, with sugar on top.

Rachael and Daniel, to the best of my knowledge, have kept their relationship low key. They have not gone the way J.Lo and Ben or Jennifer and Brad did by getting their names and reputations plastered all over the tabloids.

Is he using Rachael to push his career? Only he knows for sure. Does he want to hack off a bunch of Rachael's fans by taking her as his bride only to hurt her in five-ten years? Let's hope not. I hate the thought that Rachael could end up in a relationship that does a Crash & Burn like Tom and Nicole or Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. I would like to see a Hollywood marriage work like Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland, which would be inspiring. Hopefully, Rachael and Daniel will make it work.

People speculate because marriage among stars is like politics. Is it good for career? Bad? No diff?

Read an Elvis biography sometime. Col. Tom Parker (Elvis' manager) did not want Elvis to marry Priscilla because all the young and single female fans would desert him. The Col was part-right, Elvis had a few lousy years after he got married.

So it's harmless speculation, like will Hillary run for prez or will Tony Blair get the boot before summer. People have fun just wondering what this move or that will do for the performer/politician's career. Gore Vidal went on TV and said "Politics is show-bizz for the ugly."

Then again, maybe mentioning Elvis is a bad idea. When he died suddenly, a producer said "good career move."

Speculating is one thing. Nobody wants Rachael to make THAT kind of career move.

You can disagree with me, but Rachael has had quite a lot of relationships in the past years. Most of those were short. Many Hollywood relationships end rather fast too so I've got more than reasons to say all this. I know you all want Rachael to be a happy girl and so do I. But I got my reasons to care little for a marriage engagement that took two months. I can also say that she has a fear for loneliness which is another irony.

Huh....fear for loneliness? How can you possibly know that for sure?
