Dennis Quaid Might Cheat, But Meg Ryan Is Nutso

Rest assured, I mean no misogynistic harm by my headline. I'm sure Meg Ryan's accusations that he cheated on her are true. And she was probably more than deserved in bagging Russell Crowe before mutating herself into a collagen clown. Much as she was entitled to hypocritically star in a film that decries the inevitability of women's cosmetic concessions to keep pace with younger competition.

However, when you start actually delving into the pathology behind you, your ex and your ex-mister Russel Crowe's indiscretions for an InStyle interview (not to mention christening yourself as a "scarlet woman"), your depressing quest for public attention and affirmation becomes as apparent as the lifts in your cheeks.

I'm all for a harmless bit of surface celeb-relationship gossip, but it starts to become a joyless exercise for all when you get into icky details like, “Russell didn’t break up the marriage. He was definitely there at the end, but it wasn’t his fault. I was a mess. I hurt him too at the end. I couldn’t be in another long relationship, it wasn’t the time for that. So I got out.”

And I'm sure Crowe is likewise thrilled about being more or less emasculated before the nation on the cusp of releasing his latest super-macho blockbuster.

Jeez, Meg, why don't you just keep this stuff between you and Adam Brody.
