Just Friends
Upon meeting and deciding that they would like to begin a relationship it is necessary for the couple to deny all connections to the media. This can be done on the talk show circuit, on their website and of course through their publicists. They will of course admit to knowing one another but of course the relationship is always strictly platonic, and they are of course just friends. This is of course until they are ready to come out as a couple, and then will begin to travel the awards show circuit together, and are seen canoodling in public.
We Are Not Engaged
Unfortunately, A list celebrities can do very little without being stalked by the paparazzi. All trips to the jewelry store are suspect, and is generally met with excitement and transplanted upon the pages of gossip shows and magazines. My heart goes out to the prospective groom who may change his mind and is now expected to propose that may have changed his mind for whatever reason.
The Break Ups
I have something of a sixth sense about impending celebrity break ups. The signs are always there, but of course denial is always the name of the game.
Couples that are happy together and are eager to be in the company of one another tend to smile and hold one another. For a myriad of reasons celebrities do not always announce their splits right away and often continue to make the rounds with each other. They rarely smile and once they do it looks painful.
There may be instances of one part of the dynamic duo is seen behaving inappropriately with someone else by cameras or rumors of a budding romance on the set of a movie start making the rounds. Of course, the entertainment industry is business after all. The announcement of a breakup will occur but it must be times perfectly. The old adage is that all publicity is good publicity. What could be more compelling than a starlet who has had her heart broken? Especially if it happens to occur around the same time that her new romantic comedy is opening up and she finds the man of her dreams.
