Reflecting on the struggle, Christina, renowned for her role in Wednesday, expressed: “I’ve gone through periods as an adult where we were really, really broke,” she admitted.  “You just have that thing of, ‘I don’t ever want to feel this way ever again.’ It’s like this visceral feeling. I don’t ever want to feel this helpless, because I think that’s what not having a lot of money makes you feel like. You feel very helpless.” © GettyChristina admitted she was once really broke In pursuit of financial stability, Christina revealed in a 2022 interview with the Sunday Times Style that she resorted to selling pieces from her collection of expensive handbags and jewelry.  She linked financial difficulties to “certain …

Brittany Snow Addresses Tyler Stanaland Divorce and Cheating Allegations

Brittany Snow Addresses Tyler Stanaland Divorce and Cheating Allegations

Brittany Snow is opening up about her divorce. The 38-year-old actress appeared on the latest episode of Call Her Daddy, and spoke candidly about her split from Tyler Stanaland after rumors of infidelity swirled following his time on Selling the OC. On the Netflix series, Stanaland made headlines for his flirty behavior with co-stars Alex Hall and Kayla Cardona, which started to look different after he and Snow separated, and she eventually filed for divorce. Their divorce was finalized in July 2023. “They took up a lot of energy and emotion and time and real estate in my head. I don’t want to give them any more time and energy, because then they would win and they would get what they wanted, which was getting my time and energy and attention,” Snow said of the Selling the OC cast. “I was not aware of a lot of things.” “I will say, what people think happened, happened,” she continued. “I think that there’s also in my experience with this and how I processed it, there’s a lot of grace that I give …

Paul Simon on His Marriage to Carrie Fisher: “Mistakes on Top of Mistakes”

Paul Simon on His Marriage to Carrie Fisher: “Mistakes on Top of Mistakes”

In retrospect, maybe Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels characterizing himself as being nearby and “praying for death” while you proposed isn’t the best omen you could ask for when it comes to the marriage itself, but as Paul Simon knows, sometimes you’ve just gotta live and learn. A new documentary about Simon, 82, In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon, archival interviews offer some retrospective brutal takes on the one-year marriage between Simon and late Star Wars actor Carrie Fisher. The two first met when Fisher, in her full Princess Leia splendor and fame, hosted SNL in 1978. They married in 1983. By July 1984, they were divorced. In one clip, Simon characterizes the union as, “All types of mistakes on top of mistakes on top of mistakes.” Michaels, a longtime friend of Simon, was present—and incredibly seasick—for the proposal, which took place on a chartered boat in Greece. See the earlier death prayers. “Other than that, it was a really fun time,” Michaels said of the jaunt. He was also Simon’s best …

Why My Husband Got His Own Apartment

Why My Husband Got His Own Apartment

My husband’s new studio apartment is on a college campus. As such, it has the requisite cinder block walls and brown-tiled bathroom floor. It is not a beautiful apartment, but it is more than passable. It’s clean, warm, and comfortable. It requires no commute. And perhaps most importantly, no one else lives there. My husband will be spending three nights a week at his new apartment, Tuesday through Friday, as he settles into his new job as an Assistant Professor. I’ll admit, I feel a bit guilty that we have access to two living spaces when so many people are struggling to afford just one roof over their heads. Then I remind myself that the university is under-enrolled and the apartment would otherwise sit empty. But still. It seems extravagant. There are lots of good reasons for this new living arrangement. My husband is currently dividing his time between two campuses, one an hour from our home and the other 30 minutes further away.

‘Grey divorce’ poses higher financial risk for women than men

‘Grey divorce’ poses higher financial risk for women than men

Stay ahead of the trend in fashion and beyond with our free weekly Lifestyle Edit newsletter Stay ahead of the trend in fashion and beyond with our free weekly Lifestyle Edit newsletter Divorces among middle-aged and elderly people pose a higher financial risk to women. In stark contrast to reports indicating that divorce rates among young adults are on the decline, researchers have noted that divorce rates have alarmingly increased among the middle-aged crowd. “Grey divorces” – defined as divorces among those age 50 and older – have skyrocketed in the past 30 years, according to a 2022 study from The Journals of Gerontology by I-Fen Lin and Susan L Brown. Typically, divorces at this age will negatively impact women more than men in heterosexual relationships, the economic effects in particular are reportedly “less severe” for men. In their research, sociology professors Laura Tach and Alicia Eads found that middle-aged men may even experience an income bump after their divorces. The financial setbacks middle-aged female divorcées face are largely informed by the social norms of …

Gwyneth Paltrow Celebrates 10 Years of Conscious Uncoupling

Gwyneth Paltrow Celebrates 10 Years of Conscious Uncoupling

Marriages may come and go, but conscious uncoupling is forever, as Gwyneth Paltrow knows from hard-earned experience. Yes, March 25, 2024 marks an entire decade since Paltrow unleashed the little divorce euphemism that could on the world at large, immediately cementing the phrase’s place in the pop culture lexicon when she and ex-husband Chris Martin announced their split. In a post on the then-young Goop website, a joint statement from Paltrow and the Coldplay frontman concluded with an explanation that they “have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.” And you know what? Looks like they have. Great work, team. The two share two children, Apple, 19, and Moses, 18. Co-parenting? Check. They are also still not a romantic couple anywhere we can see, with Martin now reportedly engaged to actor Dakota Johnson and Paltrow remarried to Brad Falchuk. As a bonus, the exes are still pals, with Paltrow saying Martin is “like a brother” to her. …

Luke Evans: ‘Gay people were given the right to marry… and the right to divorce’

Luke Evans: ‘Gay people were given the right to marry… and the right to divorce’

Get our free weekly email for all the latest cinematic news from our film critic Clarisse Loughrey Get our The Life Cinematic email for free Luke Evans would like to clarify something, as I’ve made the mistake of calling him hench. “Firstly, Dwayne Johnson is hench,” the actor says, cheerfully yet firmly, in his mellifluous Welsh growl. “Chris Hemsworth is hench. Put them next to me and I look like a matchstick.” The decidedly un-hench Evans may not feel particularly stacked in the upper-arm department, but he’s certainly played a lot of muscly men. In the live-action Beauty and the Beast he was Gaston, a throbbing vein of musical machismo. He was a swashbuckling archer in the Hobbit trilogy, the Greek god Apollo in Clash of the Titans, and a surprisingly tender Zeus in the action thriller Immortals. He’s even been a villain in a Fast & Furious movie, that practically annual convention of the square-jawed and bountifully burly. Finally, there’s Evans’s Instagram, which suggests he leads a blissful, sun-kissed life of topless reclining and …
