Misinformation and the Press (or are Liev and Naomi married?)
Last night at the TONY awards, actor Liev Schreiber told Entertainment Tonight that he and Naomi Watts were married. ET ran with the story and quite literally hundreds of other press outlets carried it today.
Not that I don’t trust the press, but I did not see the ET clip and friends had told me that when Liev said it he had a twinkle in his eye, a wry look. They also said that after he said it, Naomi appeared to throw her head back and laugh.
So, I asked Liev. I couldn’t help myself. I like to hear news like that from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. His reply? He says they are NOT married.
It makes me wonder about misinformation and the press. If he really did just make the comment in an offhand, playful way and the media went with it, how easy would it be to insert false info into the press circuit on other levels? Not all that hard, apparently.
On the other hand, maybe hes just pulling MY leg? Either way I get a good chuckle out of the frenzy something like this creates in the media.
And, no matter their marital status, I’m still thrilled about the upcoming birth of their baby. They’re going to be amazingly cool parents.
I don’t know. It makes no difference if they are married or not. It doesn’t make matter if they are even married to the right person. What matters, ultimately, is- you’re with who you’re with. They will be forever linked by their child.
You know, I just think it’s funny that the media gets involved in an actor’s personal life at all.
Couldn’t care less if I ever heard about the ‘juicy’ details of Angelina Jolie’s life.
But, since Liev has become like a little bro to me somehow, I keep hope alive that he’s happy and that Naomi remains healthy throughout the pregnancy and has an easy, breezy birth.
My sister was in labor for nearly 3 days before they finally decided to do an emergency C-section.
Subsequently, my niece was born with seizure disorder that she eventually outgrew.
I agree, though…I think they’ll be cool and progressive parents. At least I hope so…I hope they won’t be the people I see in NYC with the entitlement and the lack of control over their kids in public. Also with the kid in a stroller until he’s 12.
Or the binky. Until the kid’s around 13 or so.
What is up with that?
