Also, I was talking to Joe about the recent rash of male celebrities cheating on their wives and I have to say, I'm annoyed by it because I would bet folding money that there are just as many female celebrities with a bit on the side. I seem to remember a British study that showed that women were more likely to cheat, but were more discreet and better about hiding it. Anyway, I'm annoyed at the insane coverage of the cheating men and almost nothing on the cheating women when they are, in my eyes, equally wrong.

I don't know if I agree with that. Yes, they are wrong, but they aren't the ones who made a commitment to anyone. I mean, I personally wouldn't sleep with a married/attached man, and think badly of people who do, but I wouldn't say that are equally wrong.

I meant married women who cheat, not the women the men cheat with. Sorry - I wasn't very clear.

Oh, yes, I'm with you then.

I think that you're right that women are more discreet.

re: Castle--I'm so pleased that when Beckett put off Hot Cop, she went to catch up with her high school friend. Something not guy related!

And poor, longing Castle. Beckett's not wrong, though, with her statement about choosing the stable guy and not the one who has a reputation for bouncing off to the next thing. Castle himself knows his reputation on relationships isn't the strongest--except when it comes to Alexis.

The boys were amusing with the "And like Castle showing up every morning with two coffees," and the one shaking his head and mouthing "No, don't."

I'd forgotten about that. Oh, Esposito, I love you so!

I would question if this necessarily holds true for women in the public eye though. I mean, maybe it does, but I would speculate that famous women are and feel a) considerably more scrutinized and b) less able to weather the career consequences. So they might well be less likely to go there.

brenda, that could very well be the case. I just like my sexes vilified equally. Heh.

I can't think of the last high profile woman caught in an affair. Of course, as I typed that, I remembered Iris Robinson an Irish politician who had an an affair with a 19 year old. She was 59. Yes, her last name really is Robinson.

Liz Taylor is one of the few I think managed to survive it and even so, at the time, she was absolutely vilified. I mean, she'd been riding a wave of sympathy as the grieving widow, then next thing you know, she's breaking up the marriage of America's Sweetheart.

It's amazing, given the era, that she managed to survive and managed to be given some of the largest roles of her career afterwards. I guess the scandal was still good box office, morals be damned.
