You may think that everyone in Hollywood is an undiscriminating crotch-gobbler who will hook up with anyone in the industry and marry after two weeks of dating. And you’d pretty much be right, with a few glaring exceptions. We thought one of those exceptions might be the lovely and talented Kate Winslet and her less lovely and less talented husband of seven years, Sam Mendes, but we were wrong. Dead wrong (ominous music). Popeater reports that the actress and director are over.
“Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year,” the couple’s lawyers, Schillings law firm, said in a statement. “The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children. They ask that the media respect the privacy of the family.”
There’s no information on why the couple has ended things, but we assume it’s because she found out he directed American Beauty. “American Beauty? American Beauty? With the plastic bag and the Kevin Spacey?” Kate said in between gasps of uncontrollable chortling. “That was you? Seriously? Hahaha! Oh man. And all this time I thought you directed American Pie. Now that was a good movie. Man, that Stifler cracks me up.”
