   Czj and md have a place in majorca. I think it must be them-don’t know how she managed to stay with that wrinkly old fool for long in the first place! Off topic it’s been announced in the uk that david beckham is staying in italy permanently. Posh is staying in la. Wonder how long it’ll be til their divorce is announced?!

   Nah I doubt it, Posh has put up with his philandering for years, I doubt she’s gonna give up her meal ticket now. She’s staying in LA so they don’t have to move the boys out of school I would have thought, but you never know. And I think its Brange – AJ always goes on about her french heritage from her mother when the reality is her mum was French Canadian and her real name Marcia something, not Marcheline! They’ve been living in France and Germany for quite a while. It still does fit with CZJ and Michael Douglas though and we can’t quite rule out Gwyn and Chris, but that clue gives it away too me. Chris Martin and CZJ are British. Angelina just pretends to have European “ancestry”. Well I suppose she does if you’re talking about generations ago. Its definitely Brange. I’ve made my mind up. Nice one Ian!

   I can understand her not wanting to take the boys out of school but italy’s thousands of miles away from LA. The boys won’t get to see much of their dad and Becks has always been really involved with them. Seems a bit odd to me, it’s not like he’ll be able to fly back and visit them very often especially when you consider he’ll have training to go to each day. Think how much philandering he’ll be able to get up to with her on the other side of the world-can’t wait for the stories to come out! Btw michael douglas also has european ancestry, his grandparents were russian.

   Nah, Posh didn’t go with him when he went to Spain either, she stayed mainly in London, that’s how he had the opportunity to have the affair with Rebecca Loos but he does it even when she’s with him anyway. I think the boys stayed with her at first and then later moved over there. He’s not going to be in Milan all year round at the moment, he’s still contracted to the LA whatever they’re called, he’s just spending the out-of-season period in Milan to keep his game up so he can compete internationally. She wants to stay in LA for her career and the boys are older now so they probably don’t want to interrupt their schooling.

   As for MD and CZJ, I don’t think its them as they don’t spend a lot of time in Europe, most of their time is spent in Bermuda and LA. If CZJ was spending much time in Europe us Brits would know much more about it. Its Brange, I’m sure of it now.

   Well GP has tow kids, has famous parents,one dead and one alive, but they are hardly a Major Hollywood Couple, at all, nor are they notorious, plus they have been on the rocks forever. I really do not think Ian would waste out time over them, no one would blink over them or JLO and her Skeletor. This still fits MD and CZJ , but agian, who really honestly cares if they split? She did sign a prenup, and she talked about it to the press, she gets 2.8 mil for every year she stays married, a extra 5 mil if he is ever caught cheating.
   “I think prenups are brilliant,” Zeta-Jones chirps in the January issue of Vanity Fair, admitting that under her prenup with Douglas, “I get taken care of very well.” I don’ think though it can outline any children that have NOT been born.

   Water sports , well he has a yacht, he is a certified scuba diver, he use to teach water skiing.
   (Beach and water sports on offer include deep sea fishing, sailing, snorkelling and scuba diving in the nearby coral reefs, water skiing on the lagoon and windsurfing.) How many of these does she do?

   They spend alot of time in Bermuda, which is famous for water sports.Here is a discripition of her in a biography-
   Catherine is sometimes referred to as a prima donna but, a hometown girl who enjoys rugby, boxing, golf, and a few beers, she has her head screwed on far too tightly to care about petty bickering. As well as sinking her money into Milkwood, she also uses her fame and funds – like Douglas – to help worthy causes, including young adults with cerebral palsy and the International Centre For Missing And Exploited Children. With Douglas taking on a public role as Hollywood Ambassador For Worldwide Decency, we can expect Catherine to be right by his side – or perhaps right behind him, kicking his ass forward. She’s that kind of girl – both lucky and deserving, she gets things done.

   But madrid’s only a 2 hour flight from london. I’d imagine that La to milan would be at least 12hrs. It’s being reported that he’s staying in italy permemantly in a bid to win back a place in the england team and posh has made the ‘heartbreaking’ decision to stay in la with the boys.
   I’m not certain but i think Czj and md spend a lot of time in majorca. Also just noticed the part about watersports in the clue. Is that water skiing etc or the dodgier type? If it’s the dodgy type then it must be Brangelina lol

   I don’t think the Becks are a Hollywood couple, at least not to me. I am not sure what water sports the Brange do, other than Jolie is a certified scuba diver, Pitt was on a swim team in college, but together there was that famous picture of them on the beach in Africa with Maddox. Have they ever done anything else but partied maybe on a yacht? Angelina’s background is Czech, French (canadian), German. Her dad, Jon Voight is the grandson of a Czech immigrant. Pitt is said to be English and Welsh. (so is of course CZJ) CZJ &MD do spend a lot of time in Bermuda

   But, out of the two of them -The couple spend a lot of time in Europe- I agree with you Keane-this is definitely ……Brangelina…nice going Ian!

   Adding to that , Angelina’s mother was born in Canada, but her grandfather,Zacharie Cloutier, on her mother’s side was born in France. Water sports, as in what us normal people enjoy, or is that what the rubber suits are for that Mickey Brett is writing about? eww, although I heard he is not including a rubber suit but a different toy. Still yuk. I think Ian is still trying to keep it a possible between these main two , but this last clue seals it for me. Hillary doesn’t throw it off because she was co-chair for the Clinton Initiative, and anyone that worked that close with Hillary Rodamn Clinton for 4 years, had to have supported her privately, she was just ducking on that one like she did on TV when asked a question she did not have answer to. PR

    So that narrows it down to Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta Jone and Brangelina…

    Well key for me, you said several times, “this should give it away” now, in regards to the first couple, without googling there is nothing that gives anything away in regards to them, because they are just not Notorious to me. LOL Are they a major Hollywood couple, I guess they could be , he was just awarded, but many just tend to forget about them. Then your temper tantrum clue just screams Angelina Jolie , her recent knife throwing tantrums, and of course the screaming F u’s at Bradley. Catherine on the other hand is shrewd enough to just deliver the punch with a clear head and a law suit, she does not have a reputation as a screamer. Could she stand a match against one of the most powerful families in Hollywood, I doubt it. You gave some really terrific clues, and narrowed it down in a unraveling way, that was not too frustrating. Pitt himself has made some comments that has made people question if he has on foot out the door. I really hope you are going to say Brangelina, not just because everyone is sick of them, but because of the kids, maybe these two will be better parents a part, but also because if anyone gets to break this story I hope it is you, no one else seems to be gutsy enough to ask straight up questions and risk jail. You rocK !

    Kind of funny when you think about it that Ian chose these two couples to narrow it down to, remember this comment Michael made-

    Michael Douglas Slammed Brad Pitt over Aniston-Jolie Situation
    “I don’t know about Brad Pitt leaving that beautiful woman to go hold orphans for Angelina Jolie. I mean, how long is that going to last?”

    I am still on the fence. I watched the video of MD & CZJ coming out of the Luau for dinner the other night, her getting in the car. Things seemed tense. She kept her head down the whole time, never looked at him when she got in the car once, or smiled. He walked out in front of her, distanced himself from her.

    Still as toss up for me.I still think it could be them, Brangelina a close 2nd.

    No, but Kate, they are not Notorious, for what, I will give you an example, they went to a party on Monday night with all the other boring couples in Hollywood, Melanie and Antonio for one, at Salma Hayek’s house, to celelebrate Penelope Cruz and her Vicky Barcelona (is there anyone that does not believe that these two girls are a couple, I mean come on? ) , who really cares if they break up, does anyone, if they fight it out for 3 years over those kids would anyone blink, they would just go down on the list with all the others who have done that. Alec Baldwin, Al Pacino. Sharon Stone, even his ex wife and her millionaire boyfriend over her twins… snooze….

    Maybe I am missing something, but I got the impression that it is going to be a big deal, kind of like revealing the same sex America Idol on his show, opening night. Now what is more exciting? Easy question, easy answer.. Stick with your gut, you got it right the first time. The Brange.

    Can’t resist commenting. Been reading for awhile but have never written. The clues seem to fit both Brange & CZJ-MD. Although I don’t think CZJ-MD are notorious and I have no idea which of the 4 supported Hillary Clinton. But, MD has a famous parent, so does AJ – I’d say all 4 have European ancestry (don’t we all?) – I can imagine them all drinking and having temper tantrums. And all 4 spend time in Europe afterall CZJ is Welsh, MD has always had a place in Majorca and Brange continually travel. The stand out clue is the “marriage break up caused huge press” – when MD split from his long-suffering wife there was no big press because they had been separated for years. So I guess that gives the edge to Brange? Except they are still working the Oscar thing and promoting their movies around the world. I don’t think they would split up right now, it would damage their reps. Plus, if they split, Brad would not get the kids. I think she adopted all 3 kids on her own despite their having “Pitt” in their name. And for their biologocial kids, they are still very young and the mom almost always gets the kids no matter how strange she might be (and I think Angie is plenty strange). So would Brad risk losing custody of his kids?
