Yesterday, CB covered the first excerpts from Sarah Jessica Parker’s Marie Claire cover piece for September. In a funny twist, especially considering CB is the one who usually gives SJP the benefit of the doubt much more than me, CB seemed as annoyed with SJP as I usually am. The thing about Sarah Jessica is that you want to like her, and you might actually have some residual warmth for her after all of those years of watching Carrie Bradshaw, and then she opens her mouth and ruins it. SJP’s interviews are the worst. She just tries too hard to project an image of a working mother who is all at once the best, most precious mother in the world as well as the one of the world’s busiest actresses and multi-taskers. It’s all a bit much. Anyway, in the Marie Claire interview, SJP gets all Goopy about her marriage:
With a hectic work schedule, three young children and a fourteen year marriage to nurture, Sarah Jessica Parker has a lot on her plate. The 46-year-old Sex And The City star has revealed that she has a fairly unusual way of dealing with all the pressures that life throws at her and her husband, actor Matthew Broderick. They chose not to discuss their marriage.
‘We don’t talk about our marriage a lot, which is probably wise,’ she admitted to Marie Claire magazine in their September issue. ‘There are so many other things in our lives that take precedence over the splitting of the atom of our marriage.’
Sarah and Ferris Bueller star Matthew, 49, married in May 1997 and have three children together – James Wilke, 8, and two-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion.
The I Don’t Know How She Does It star also discussed how she balances life with her family and work.
‘I love, love, love being an actor,’ she says.
‘It’s still the hardest and scariest thing I do, outside of parenting. But I’ve always been someone who likes a busy day. I love the opportunities, and if I can manage my time and the children are okay and we’re okay, it’s hard to say no…’
[From The Mail]
“Splitting of the atom of our marriage”??? Girl. I feel like this is SJP’s way of saying that Matthew is never around and when he is, he doesn’t even want to speak to her. I bet he doesn’t want to split the atom of child-rearing. I bet he doesn’t want to split the atom of fidelity. I bet he doesn’t want to split the atom of two careers. And I bet SJP doesn’t want to split the atom of divorce. What is with these women who stay in these horrible marriages?

She doesn’t want to split the atom of his being gay.

I always feel like smacking her. She just tries so hard to be quirky and witty with her ridiculous SJPisms.

Aside from that nonsensical comment by SJP, I hate that dress and it looks like she will trip on the dress with her silly flip-flops. Hubby does not look happy. And why does she have her tongue hanging out of her mouth.
I just dont like this woman at all.

I’ve always liked her, as she doesn’t come across as stupid (usually) and tries to be sincere. She had a shit life growing up, and she worked hard to be where she is (if you consider acting working hard, which I know some of you don’t…but she is not Paris Hilton). The whole Matthew Broderick marriage atom has always felt off, wrong, fake, bad, and otherwise NO to me. He NEVER looks happy. He also has a bit of the bloat going on, which maybe spells addiction atom. She does hustle, though–gotta give her that.

I don’t like Mathew Broderick for the same reason that I don’t like Brandi and Rebecca Gayheart — they killed someone and got away with it.
As far as SJP, she is 2 steps away from becoming Gwyneth Paltrow.

That boy is definitely her kid! He resembles her. I think he’s adorable.
Matthew always looks miserable in pictures with her. I guess she smiles so much to overcompensate for that.

I agree that Matthew always looks uncomfortable with Sarah, but to be fair I do think that Matthew seems like a hands-on dad, at least from the photos I’ve seen.

Celebrity marriage has been a big topic this week. Some rather obtuse ways of saying, this marriage is a bitch, but we stay together anyway. Both she and Paltrow, same sentiment, different words, same meaning.
Broderick does look unhappy most of the time, but I don’t necessarily think much of that, but the contrast in her Mary Sunshine demeanor is jarring sometimes. In this way, they are very much like Affleck/Garner. He always looks pissed and she is always perky and dimply.

I really think they are staying together because they don’t want to deal with the media coverage of a divorce/ staying together for the kids.
Interesting enough, this blind items is supposed to be about them : http://blindgossip.com/?p=31363#more-31363

Why does everyone think their marriage is miserable? They seem so tight to me. I’ve always just assumed Broderick looks unhappy in photos because he’s private and hates being put in these awkward, fake movie-premiere-type situations. But maybe there’s some piece of news about their relationship that I’ve missed…?

@Cait I had to look it up because I didn’t recall anything about him killing someone. So, here’s this from wikipedia.
”
On August 5, 1987, Broderick was in Northern Ireland, vacationing with Jennifer Grey, when he veered their rented BMW into the wrong lane on a country road in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh and smashed head-on into a car driven by Anna Gallagher, 30. She and her mother, Margaret Doherty, 63, were killed….He was later convicted of the lesser charge of careless driving and fined $175.”

i will always have a soft spot for her b/c of LA Story with Steve Martin-she was so hilarious….
I never watched SATC, so I cannot comment on the thing she is known for…
but you know, it’s like John Stamos-who I know for being Blackie on general hospital and he was one of my first pin ups….but most think of him as Uncle Jessie first and foremost.
[side note: wish the young 'un posters on all of these blogs would know t heir celeb history more-someone on CDAN said 'but would anyone outside of 25-30 yr olds know uncle jessie?' i'm like, first off, everyone watched full house (not just that age group), secondly, john stamos was blackie!!!!!! and up there with ralph macchio, leif garret, andy gibb etc for teen pinup pull-outs from the magazines!!!! lol]

My BIL and his gf went to Ireland and rented a car. and They told us about the driving and road systems. The roads are not like ours and there is hardly any speed limits. Basically they said it was treacherous and they were both scared to drive. Crazy country driving

It was a car accident in a place where he wasn’t used to driving on the opposite side of the road. Not really the same thing as murdering somebody which is what the poster seems to infer.

@Granger and @Mare
People think their marriage is a farce because he’s had a few public affairs, plus SJP is often away from home. In a recent interview, she admitted to being away from the twins for two whole months.
I didn’t really have any strong feelings about SJP until she started yapping on about what a hands-on parent she was, despite having having a nanny for the twins, someone to look after her son and of course general domestic staff for everything else. Plus SJP often leaves her family for weeks at time, even though the children are still quite young.
That’s when I realized what delusional piece of work SJP is. It annoys me beyond measure to hear her throwing shade on working mothers, who burn the candle at both ends juggling career and family commitments.
SJP doesn’t do any juggling whatsoever. Her career comes first, and she uses work commitments as an excuse to regularly abandon her family for weeks at a time.

@ the truth fairy
Brandy and Matthew were both in accidents that are no where near reason to consider them murderers. They were unintentional accidents. Let’s hope you’re never in the same situation.
As for rebecca she was impatient and didn’t want to wait behind a car that was allowing someone to cross the street so she tried to go around and hit a pedestrian. That one I blame her more so than the other 2 because her selfishness got someone killed.

@theoriginalsisterkitty I don’t know what kind of herb your BIL and his girlfriend were smoking while here in Ireland. But our roads do indeed have speed limits. All of them. Perhaps their misunderstanding of this fact, and of the rules of Irish driving, lead to the roads being treacherous – no wonder they were afraid. (For the record, not only do we Irish have driving regulations, we all have electricity and wear clothes. Most of the time.)

I think they have a very upper class NYC (sometimes Cole Porter-esque) type of marriage. If it works for them who cares. They’re not hurting anybody and it doesn’t sound like they’re hurting each other. She’s been with him since ’91 (or ’89?), maybe she really doesn’t want to be with anyone else and she likes having the partnership they have. Why does this need to be bashed?

@Smokey @Cait – that sounds like the definition of an accident. Cait I don’t know how that makes him a murderer. He didn’t say I’m going to kill someone. Geez thanks Smokey I really thought he was some Gayheart type killer.

As someone who has been in a fatality car accident 20 years ago, I can tell you that if I could have done ANYTHING (swerved, driven my car off the road, braked in time – ANYTHING!!) to prevent what happened I know in my heart I would have. I still get the dry heaves when I hear someone refer to the drivers as “murderers” or “killing people and getting away with it”. They are called accidents people, sometimes they happen. Even when you’re doing everything right. Even when you are careful and lawful. God forbid something like this happen in your life.

Actually, I know what it means: splitting an atom is at the core of a nuclear explosion. But that’s not what she seems to be talking about–she just means they don’t speak to each other much. Sheesh.

I don’t understand why everybody says they have a horrible marriage either. I didn’t hear any gay rumors until Matthew did Broadway shows. The only adultery rumor I heard was a tabloid rumor. The basis for it was Matthew standing next to or hugging a woman. If they were so miserable they would divorce.

@Lady Jane — hear hear.
And besides, Broderick’s accident was in Northern Ireland, not Ireland. So whatever happened to theoriginalsisterkitty’s family in Ireland is hardly relevant.

I think what SJP is trying to say is that even though her image is one of glamour and fashion, that her values are pretty normal and she’s as regular a person as she can be despite her fame. She and Matthew have always been simple people, true New Yorkers who ride the subway or bike through the city, not using limos excessively. As far as their marriage, I don’t think that creative people in the public eye need to discuss their marriage any more than you or I do. I don’t speak with my partner about our relationship ever, we just let it be and make adjustments when needed. Whether or not Matthew is into her or not, there would be no reason to stay if he didn’t want to, he could walk away and be a very very rich man. Why go through so many unsuccessful invitro attempts and then through surrogacy if he’s so unhappy?? He’s a family man and despite efforts by media to portray him otherwise, he’s always been so.

In addition to my last post, why do sites like this only selectively use photos that insinuate something other than reality. Take a look at this photo from the same shoot, Matthew seems pretty happy to me:

You do know what site you’re on, right? “Cele” (hence the talking about people we don’t know-except for the occasional commenter who swears they know so-and-so) and “bitchy” (talking about people we don’t know in a bitchy or judgy manner.)
Perhaps you were looking for the “Kittens wearing sunglasses” website. I’m sure that will perk you right up after enduring the gossip about people you don’t know.
Personally, I think he’s probably cheating, but I’m not sure what he prefers-male or female, I’m guessing they have a little meat on their bones and a little less “try” in their attitude.

It’s been 25 years since Ferris, and I’d still totally do him. But I’d make him put some product in his hair first.
I used to think he was gay, because he’s lithe and boyish and witty (and hello, Torch Song Trilogy!). But all these photos of him with horrible hair have made me consider otherwise.
