These are photos of Alex Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth from the weekend. Now, I know there is a small but concerted Kate Bosworth fan base. I have felt their wrath before, often when I’m making fun of her smug-face. Even though I know I risk offending them, I do have to ask, once again: what’s the appeal? She’s a crappy actress, she thinks she’s some ground-breaking fashion girl (when really she’s just one of many interchangeable blondes), and her face is incapable of emoting anything other than “smug” or “bitch” faces. So why is she so smug? Is it just because she dated Orly Bloom for several years, and now she’s dating Alexander Skarsgard? Orly is no prize (don’t hate me Orly-loonies), but if I knew what Skarsdong tasted like (ice cream?), I would be smug too. But the thing is, I don’t even think they look hot together. Alex smolders everywhere, except with his on-again girlfriend, who clings to him with some mysterious asexual force. I thought they were broken up. I felt it. But I was wrong. Smug-face clings, and she will not look the least bit sexy while clinging. And Alex lets her.
So are we over Alex? After playing with our hearts and minds with the news of their alleged breakup, we’re back where we started: Alex and Smug-face, forever. It’s like Alex doesn’t know how much better he could do. Or he thinks Smuggy is some kind of prize. All in all, it makes me think less of him, and my opnion of him has been dwindling for months now. I’m at the point now where I don’t want to have my heart broken one more time. At some point, we just have to acknowledge that he’s that guy, the dude who dates bad, douchey women because that’s his type, and he would rather have a girlfriend who is a famewhore poseur than a relationship with someone interesting.
By the way, the other dude in these photos is Alex’s “little” brother.

Couldn’t agree with you more! I don’t get this whole “relationship”. I’m still wondering if he actually stops the car before he boots her out after their dates.
Meh, I don’t get the appeal either. She’s too scrawny.
Wow, his younger brother really looks like their dad, Stellan.
I totally agree with you. I get that the way they’re running their relationship works well for her but I simply do not get what it does for him at all. Very odd.
Btw – the other dude is not any of Alex’s brothers. I don’t know who he is though. Well, it might be Sam but wow, he sure looks different from the rest of the family then :O
I still like him. Maybe when the spell fades, he’ll wake up and dump her scrawny ass.
I think both Orlando and Alex S are bisexual and if free to pursue romantic relationships openly, would be with men primarily. So I think Alexs choice in a girlfriend is because she knows and lets him do what he wants in return for his fame rubbing off on her. No straight guy more famous wants her, no star more famous than Kate Bo wants to be Alexs beard, so it works out for both of them at this time.
i find neither particularly attractive…
Has never occurred to anyone that he may be a douche himself? In that case, the pairing is fitting. I particularly agree with Lainey when she said in one of her recent posts:
Look, it’s one thing to slag her, but, well, he’s the one pointing it there, you know? It’s her job to Biel herself into every situation, it’s his to avoid that kind of play. And he’s not. So in the end, what does that say about him? This is a question that will last LONG after they’re over.
He’s either madly in love with her (so he can’t see she’s a famewhore who is probably using him) OR he’s loving the attention, just like her. I tend to believe the latter.
I agree with Tango- I think this guy keeps her around for the pap factor; She’s just blah and bland enough to demand nothing more than a token hand-holding once in a while. Love, love, love the “mysterious asexual force” because that’s exactly what it is. Sad, really- but I agree that if they could do so openly, both he and Orly would only bat for the home team.
I identified that dude as Alex’s brother because that’s how Fame Pictures identified him. Plus, he REALLY looks like Stellan.
“Alex S are bisexual and if free to pursue romantic relationships openly, would be with men primarily.”
hahahahaha no Sweden is a very small country, we know everything about our stars. Alexander has has always had girlfriends, one was on a reality show and a model and very beautiful.
That is also definitely not any of his brothers. All his brothers are tall and skinny like him! And don’t have that ugly hair. Bill is a very talented actor himself.
That “little” brother does not look anything like Gustaf or Bill. He is part of Skarsgard’s little entourage.
I wonder if Skarsgard and Bosworth were encouraged to “date” off screen in order to garner more attention for their upcoming film (remaking a film such as Peckinpaw’s might be sacrilegious for some.) Now that the release date has been pushed back again to September they have no option but to still keep on “dating”.
If any of this is true, then we might just be looking at a PR stunt and should be over after the film is in theaters.
The dude is neither Gustaf or Bill but he could be Sam perhaps? He does look like Stellan.
Maybe I’m naive, but I think maybe Alex is naive in relation to Kate’s famewhoring. If he *never* goes online and reads gossip and no one he’s friends with does either, I could see why he’d think that it’s just the paps that are annoying and not that it’s his girlfriend who happens to call them.
@Fabianne, I think they are encouraged to date in order to promote the film too. I read somewhere that the director had talked about their amazing chemistry – I just think it’s a really, really lousy pr-strategy because who actually likes these two together except for the Bosworth fans? And who wants to see them on screen together in Strawdogs of all films – I can think of one scene, I really don’t want to see, knowing they’re a couply irl..
i’m not really a fan of kate b. but who knows maybe she’s really lovely and they have great connection. nobody is all bad are they so there must be something he likes about it. as my geeky brother would say haters be hatin. lol
Not Sam (he’s the tallest of them all) and Valter is only 14 or 15 and a brunette (with black dyed hair at the moment) Sorry this is not one of the Skarsgard brothers
“Wow, his younger brother really looks like their dad, Stellan.”
wow, I am out of the loop, I had NO idea that they were father and son!
“shrug” Maybe she is interesting irl? People like who they like.
You like Gerard Butler Kaiser whereas I think he’s a gross fat slob who treats women like crap. But I don’t judge you. :p
I think he doesn’t mind women who come with baggage or a reputation, or maybe he even likes it. One of his ex’s had two kids.
If you go to stellanonline.com you will find pictures of all of Stellan Skarsgard’s children.
I hate it but I have to agree. She’s annoying and it makes me think less of him.
This is a picture of him and all his siblings, that dude is definitely not one of them, haha

How do you know she’s not an interesting person? Because of her face expressions or because of the way she dress or what?
Whatever bad rep Kate has it has nothing to do with reality. She’s still suffering from all the hate she received as Orlando Bloom’s girlfriend and his fans were bat sh*t crazy and most of what is told about her have been made up by them. I don’t know Kate nor does the people who write bad stuff about her. Can’t understand how people find the energy to go out on the web and do all this hating on celebs
I couldn’t care less who Alex is dating I enjoy his acting and he’s really nice to rest my eyes on.
The story about her affair with Chris Martin and the fact that she’s been very obviously dumped by former friends (Fishsticks & Co) might also have to do with her bad rep.
Considering the “source” of that story it is probably 100% incorrect
Well… I’ll just say that I’ll like him so so so much more when he finally gets rid of her.
I totally believe the rumors about her & Chris Martin. There have been several sources to it & given the behavior of Stella, Fishy & the others it is 100% believable.
Maybe the source isn’t reliable. But Chris Martin never sued and Fishstick & Co have ignored Kate ever since.
He looks super-hot here. This is the best I’ve seen him look outside of the TB set and I know people will hate me for saying this, but I think they make a sexy couple. @#18-Yeah, well things aren’t ever very logical around here. Gerard Butler was the one boning Shanna Moakler while her husband Travis Barker was lying in a hospital bed, yet The Butz is still revered around here. If who one bones is a guage upon which to judge a person then this guy should be at the bottom of the heap!
PS-sorry, Kaiser I know you love him but it’s true!
she is useless. no career, no talent…
I dont think she has a smug or bitch face,she just looks like that. Everyone thinks she’s out for publicity, but maybe she just likes him and think he’s hot like many of you? He may like skinny girls, some men do. So why this overanalysis of this blah relationship?
She has never claimed to be a great actress or beauty, she just happens to be his gf and gets pappped.(BTW I’m not a fan of either of them, just dont understand the level of hostility towards her)
What Eve said. I think he’s just as much a fameho as she is. Too many of you ladies want to bone him to see that. Eh, she can keep him for my part.
I’ll fully admit I only hate her because I am jealous. I mean, who wouldn’t be!?? Look at him. and she gets to be with him all the time and be famous for essentially nothing (like, one decently money making movie years ago)
Whatever floats your boat and makes you happy, but it does kind of kill the lust when you know that he is attracted to that “type” of girl – makes it less possible to fantasize that he might give you a second glance if ever you were to meet.
I think it’s mostly for PR. It will end eventually.
i still don’t know who she is, other than a girl who bones actors way more famous than she is. she looks amazaingly smug every time i see her, but if i were boning alex i would look smug too.
Another boring bland and cookie – cutter actress.
Hollywood needs to do something about it.
the guy with him is called robin! he’s one of Alex’s friends from sweden not one of his brothers my god does that mess look like he would be related to the great alexander skarsgard?
Kate Bosworth could have been something. Remember her in Wonderland and Blue Crush?
I thought she was going to be a great actror, then she started taking really crappy roles like Superman and 21. Terrible movies. I don’t think she’s been in anything good in years. Not since her Bloom days.
I’m sick and tired of this guy. He seemed nice and humble, but that was fake.
Just another douchebag that has been famewhoring all this week.
He is extremely nice. I was near him and Kate at a broken bells concert last week and he talked to everyone who came up to him even the annoying drunk bitches who thought they were at a clubnot a concert.
Definitely not Skarsgard’s brother, Kaiser.
There is a strong odor of PR about this one, sad to say. Sure not benefitting him, which is maybe why he refuses to own up to the relationship. Makes him look shallow and her look desperate. Bad call, Robin Baum, publicity agent to the stars.
Major quiver buster…and question raiser.
She was ok when she first came out in Blue Crush, but after her nose job & weight loss & being dumped by the hobbit she started being a pissy assed bitch.
I have to point out: He’s a virgo and she’s a capricorn – a perfect match if you subscribe to new-agey mumbo jumbo. Which I do 🙂
Bozzie has a knack for staying in the public eye. If she can’t stay relevant on her own, she sleeps with relevant. It’s a career path that she’s chosen and she’s done ok with it. Remember the photos of her clinging to a movie producer while she was still with James? Hmmmm. Coincidence that she got another role shortly after? Now it’s Askers turn. She’s hollywood acceptable and the dating pool is small. She’s starting to look a little rough, if she had brown hair she’d be Rachel Bilson’s twin.
I just want to say that I love that someone posted a link to ASkarsSwedishMeatballs.Tumblr.com That site is hilarious (and slightly creepy)!
We’re all acknowledging that the Chris Martin rumors are true, right? Because when they first came out Chris Martin was all, “I’m going to sue!” but since he hasn’t and since the REAL fashion girls (Goopy, Stella McCartney, Liv Tyler, etc.) have totally frozen her out since the rumors, it’s totally true, right?
Which means that while I don’t know her personally, I know that she is the type of person to sleep with the husband of a “friend,” and not be very discreet about it. And I know that neither she nor ASkars are famous enough to actively be followed by the paps (the paps only stake-out a select few people) so someone is calling them to restaurants, movie theaters, poolsides, etc.
Considering ASkars once got into a fistfight with a pap, I don’t think he’s the one making the calls.
Am I jealous? NO. She has the body of a sickly 12 year old boy. Her clothes are terrible! It looks like she jumped out of bed to go to the dollar store to buy cigs. He never waits to walk with her for some reason? Hmmmm, seems like she is lagging behind to see if someone will take her pix or ask for an autograph. Hey Maybe she is cool and funny and just looks like a mediocre blond wanna be star. We will never know why this great(hot & nice) guy wants a blah (famebanger)chick.
I’ve noted with other couples being papped that the man often walks out in front. Maybe it has something to do with being a gentleman and getting the paps to keep their distance.
I think Kate is a beauty, plus she has that one brown eye, one blue eye thing going on. Very striking.
Alexander isn’t protecting Kate from paps. Besides the fact that she most likely calls them, he separates away from her and leaves her to deal with them. You have to wonder how the paps knew Alex and Kate were going to a movie in the middle of the day–right from the moment they entered the parking garage. They aren’t being staked out. Someone’s calling. Doubt it’s Alex.
Bosgard Reeks! He’s gone from B- to F in such as short time. I guess since misery likes company she’s dragged him to desperate, famewhoring Z list with her. Seriously, who would hire him for anything serious with these desperate, transparent, attention seeking antics that garner all these negative comments? It’s distasteful and makes Paris Hilton look classy in comparison. Even Tara Reid wasn’t this nasty and pathetic. It’s HW and the sharks can smell and sense weakness. He’s just chum at this point. Too bad so sad.
“I have to point out: He’s a virgo and she’s a capricorn – a perfect match if you subscribe to new-agey mumbo jumbo. Which I do”
——–
Not really. That’s based on a generalization that gives everyone born under those two signs the same compatibility. Astromatch.com gives them a fairly weak love match. Only 5.6 on a scale of 11. She has a solid match with Chris Martin — 8.7 out of 11.
The Chris Martin rumors were never factual, just rumors, just like the rumors that she and Alex broke up. They didn’t break-up they were apart because he was working in Hawaii and she in Michigan…does that constitute a break-up? Rumors are always just rumors and all we’re left with is photos. Neither of them looks attractive to me but their life is certainly entertaining! More popcorn!
I think this is his right now gf. I am pretty sue when he is ready to settle down..it wil be with an interesting Swedish woman…until then I do believe that KB let’s him do what he wants… and I am comfortable saying that I would RATHER he be gay and come out than date this girl…her rep is awful from the word go–including the way she treats peeps on sets and fans…he seems different…..
you should see the video for this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP8RGt7gXCY
he is trying like crazy not to be seen with her.
I will never be sick of him. He is a man without fault, in my obsessed opinion. I just try to pretend she’s not there. But honestly, her famewhoreness brings him out in public and so we get to see pictures of him. I can’t complain.
What happened to her? I have to say I thought she was perfectly cast as Sandra Dee in “Beyond the Sea” because she has this waifish vulnerablility that is somewhat attractive. I guess it’s hard to find good jobs in Hollywood so you need to diversify into fashion merchandising. I’ve heard she’s actually smarter than she appears and Alex is certainly an excellent communicator and actor. It’s the end of an era when people like Pat Kingsley (the queen of supress and control) ruled the public life of stars. What we see on the internet is a vast wasteland of smoke and mirrors. Alex and Kate are pawns and I don’t think they call the paps all the time. These photos are pretty revolting.
We don’t know if the Chris Martin rumors are true but we also don’t know that they’re false. Unless you know the source you can’t say whether they are factual or not. We also don’t know if they didn’t break up. They could have split and now they’re hanging out again cause he’s back in LA.
It is strange that she no longer wears Stella McCartney considering how close McCartney is with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Think it’s all about money and design contracts, who you endorse, promote,etc. Look how many stars have diversified into other areas. The roles aren’t there, and even someone as talented as AS has to play the promo game. Goop is a smart self-promoter, but I doubt the CM rumors, just do. All these rumors will play themselves out in time. I’m an optimist on the side of not ruining people’s reputation with wrong and hurtful rumors. I’ve noticed that people actually believe a lot of what they read on forums and it’s easy to create a bomb that turns into wrong info. Photos and you tube provide visual proof, and right now I trust that a lot more than creative writing.
Wake up, people. Skars is smug, too. Skars is not really some amazing actor, he’s just hot.
They’re perfect together.
He has two, maybe three expressions he makes on true blood and people drop their panties.
Nothin wrong with loving a hot man. Just don’t pretend he’s something he’s not.
How come all the pictures i see of him are all teeth suddenly?
i agree with you kaiser
i don’t get the hate towards Kate! she’s beautiful!
#58. Good points. It would very easy to put these ‘rumors’ to rest but the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow’s crowd is no longer seen with her — that group more than Gwyneth herself was hanging out with her prior to the hook-up reports with Chris Martin – speaks volumes. She was wearing Stella McCartney’s designs on a pretty regular basis. The apparent freeze out by that crowd not ‘creative writing’ seems to be why more credence is given to the reports. They could have linked him to anyone so you have to wonder why they chose her.
The constant paparazzi photos have been going on with Bosworth for years and it’s not like she’s had the most active career so it would not surprise me if she’s involved in the set ups. I really don’t think Skarsgard is involved in these pap incidents. His career is pretty hot and he doesn’t have to pursue the press like she does to remain relevant. I may be giving him too much credit but he always looks annoyed and like he wants to be anywhere else unlike Bosworth.
You’re absolutely right Kaiser
Ok… He doesn’t read what we have to say about him on blogs (at least that’s what he said in an interview) so it really shouldn’t matter what we say about him, her or the on and off again relationship.
To be fair, I can’t say anything bad about her because I didn’t know who the hell she was until I saw a pic of her- and then I didn’t actually recognize her from anything I’ve ever seen (why google her when I can look at pretty pictures of Alex?) I just thought “Oh” especially when I saw his amazing body planted next to this skinny shrimp (that I could bench press I might add) with no tits or ass by some pool… Anyhoo… I kind of heard things about her from blogs I was reading to hear about Alex and she kind of sounds like the chicks who used to pride themselves in being starf*ckers. No talent of their own but the ability to bed dimwitted male stars.
BUT, that’s what’s disappointing. Of the many male stars around my age (I’m a few years older than Alex) I expected him to be the LEAST likely to fall for the “dumb blond” act she seems to exude. And, with him being Swedish I’d have thought he’d be more interested in well-built as opposed to skinny and at least moderately intelligent. The way he seems to “dote” on the other two women in his life you’d think he’d realize he DESERVED someone who thinks the world of him and would give him anything as opposed to someone who thinks he’s pretty, fun and, of course, merely a means to their own ends- not the end itself. If I got him at the end (and unless everything I’ve read and heard about him being nice, kind, intelligent etc. is false) I think I’d consider myself happy enough being the girl of the likes of Alex. Maybe HE realizes he’s just part of the scenery on HER road of life. Maybe Mom and Sis said, “Have fun but don’t marry her!” Maybe he listens to his Mom…
It’s fun to speculate, but look at the facts. There are many old and new interviews about Skarsgard you can find at his sites. In one he says he prefers a “Gywenth Paltrow” type person (ironic, huh?)to a Pam Anderson type. Paltrow is pretty bony, some say snobby, and into fashion. He’s also said he likes petite girls. I think Kate gets the hate, especially from this site and it’s over the top headlines. It makes me wonder about the writer more than the poor victim.
Isn’t she his beard?
I seriously doubt Skarsgård likes the paps. He quit acting at a child because he did not like the attention, and he is rather trying to avoid them.
I was also wondering if some of the Kate Bosworth fansites might be fake. A lot of perfect private pictures…
What is wrong with you people! Who cares who Alex dates! Its not like he is going to date you if he wasn’t withh kate! Get a life, please!
