Sometimes, everything lines up in a really interesting way. As I was looking through the new photos this morning, I saw a collection of pics of Zoe Saldana, fresh from her breakup, looking rather sad and slightly unkempt. I thought, “Gee, is she fishing for a new boyfriend? Whatever happened to those rumors about her and Bradley Cooper?” Because Bradley Cooper might have been the reason Zoe split up with her fiancé, after all. And then I saw these photos – Bradley Cooper on what seems like a DATE with Melanie Laurent. You may know Laurent from Inglorious Basterds (she was the French girl, Shoshanna). You might also know Melanie from her rumored affair with Ewan McGregor last year, when Melanie and Ewan were photographed looking coupley and intimate.
So, is Bradley scooping up Ewan McGregor’s former mistress/girlfriend? I don’t know. WENN says that Bradley and Melanie went to see a movie together in Paris, and from the action in the photos, I’d say they went with a group of friends, although it looks like Melanie and B-Coop headed out separately after the movie. I didn’t even know Bradley and Melanie knew each other – but you know Bradley is fluent in French and he loves being in France, so maybe he’s closer to people in the French film industry than we realize.
What’s the current thought on B-Coop and his public liaisons with ladies? I used to think it was just the high-profile ladies pushing these “relationships” on B-Coop, from Jennifer Aniston to Renee Zellweger to Jennifer Lopez, but now… I’m starting to wonder if People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive hasn’t been playing us all along. Maybe he’s the one who wants to be connected publicly to all of these ladies. Maybe he’s the famewhore who (fake) dates for publicity.
Anyway, I do kind of like Bradley and Melanie as a couple. I guess she and Ewan are completely done then?

the lady talking to him, looks like she wants to eat him alive, LOL
I hope she and Ewan are completely done. I guess his wife does too.
I dont care much about him, but this coupling actually made him a little hotter suddenly. Nicely played Coop…
Melanie Laurent is with a french technician now .
She saw Bradley Cooper this summer at Paris by a american producer friend (Cooper was with friends and Scarlett Johansen in holidays)
they saw Melanie Laurent’s next movie LES ADOPTES and they loved it.Since Bradley Cooper wants to work with her as director
NB:Melanie Laurent is promoting her movie and she says this story in every interview
You’re absolutely right.She also said in some interviews that she wanted a baby with her boyfriend.And this story about Bradley Cooper and Scarlett Johansson…I feel like I’ve heard it too many times,I think Melanie should stop telling it all the time,it’s a little bit boring and makes her looks full of herself.
Sorry for my english;I’m french.
No apology necessary, Cleo, your English is great! Très impressionant!
and Melanie Laurent’s boyfriend is the other guy in the 4th pic
Thanks so much for the inside info!! Wow how do you know all this stuff?
Something really rubs me the wrong way about Bradley and I cannot put my finger on it.
And really he wants to direct, ugh he is already a mediocre actor.
Well,I don’t want to answer instead of carrie but Mélanie Laurent is a really big deal in France so magazines are interested in her private life and she’s also really open about it in interviews.
I think you misunderstood carrie.Melanie told that Bradley wants HER (because she’s a director now) to direct HIM.
Once again,sorry for my english.
I respect that Laurent has pursued her own thing and refused offers from HWood.
Kieslowski: Like Cleo said, France has it’s own set of big name stars that are in the local rags. The reality tv stars here are the WORST!
Cleo: Your English is great. No need to apologize. Ever.
Carrie: Love your posts. That baby in the picture cracks me up every time!
@Cleo: i’m right he wants she direct him (OT:i’m also french)
@Cleo:you’re right he wants she directs him (sorry for my english,i’m also french)
EMC and his wife have an open marriage. They can date outside the marriage and bring people in. It’s no secret anymore. I doubt if he really cheated on his wife, he would do it so publically. Not all marriages are conventially sexually and/or emotionally monogamous and it’s good he and his wife found their way in the institution and can make it work (obviously). He often states he’s lucky to have his wife and that she is the best thing that ever happened to him and it shows. Good for them. I wish I was that evolved but I’m a possessive girl. Me no share man =).
Cooper wants to be a filmstar and I think he’s looking for a woman who has recognition but isn’t a famewhore (Zellweger) but at the same time isn’t afraid for photo-ops either when business lurks around the corner (exit Zellweger). Zellweger is really grounded, very shy and extremely insecure, BCoop needs some woman in between who he can form an A-list couple with but values privacy too. I suspect he has issues (what star doesn’t?!). Keep on looking homeboy.
Melanie is so pretty btw.
I don’t know why, but stories like these annoy me, mainly because Bradley Cooper made a big ta-do about how he wants to keep his private life private and that he will never talk about it. But he continues to be seen with high-profile women, which will elicit conversation, especially if he ‘changes’ women as much as he changes his drawers.
Again, he can date who he wants, but if he wants the talk/speculation to stop (although I doubt he does), he should pull a Vince Vaughn and date someone who is so removed from the business that it won’t become gossip fodder.
I agree – I don’t care if he’s in France or LA/NYC – moving around from chick to chick just makes him look like a ho – not someone serious about their career.
CLEO,
(Sorry for some reason cannot reply to you directly).
Thank you so much for the clarification and your english is fine.
I don’t think it’s evolved to be in an open marriage. I think it’s counterproductive. Why marry if you’re going to screw around?
You think it’s counterproductive and I think it’s counterproductive too because it’s a lifestly that wouldn’t suit you (or me). That doesn’t mean it doesn’t suit other people and if you think about it, the divorce rates are very high in this day of age so really, what does counterproductive mean anyway on a grand scale?
Biologically men are made to “hunt” and it’s very hard to maintain a sexual monogamous relationship so if you can beat the system by giving in to completely natural urges, forget about boundaries that others want to force upon us and your partner agrees and joins that idea and can make marriage work or even make it better and happier, then why not?
Also, people forget that over 80% of people (mostly men but a growing large amount of women too) cheat. It’s more wishful thinking these days that your partner is faithful. they just keep it a secret because they love their partner but cannot conform to these norms the CHURCH laid upon us and that people took over for the norm. I think there is a small amount of own ideas and will but the majority of the ideas are decided by society and nobody does not want to be part of it.
There is no such thing as the romantic marriage. It’s a modern invention. In other cultures it’s the norm to have more partners or in Sumatra the Batak people permit male homosexual relationships before marriage. Does it work? Yes.
My views on a lot of things changed since I’m reading up on sociology. Your own ideas must be pushed aside to accept other ideas or perhaps just what’s natural but what we pushed away to force stereotypical behaviour upon ourselves and others.
I’m rambling now so I’ll quit….
Ewan and Eve seem to have a strong marriage, stronger than some of the other HWood couples out there who do cheat and lie about it.
fluent in french? i find his phrasing odd and accent kind of terrible. can anyone back me up on this?
No.
Do you speak French btw =)?
Anyway, he speaks it really well and he might phrase his sentence differently because it’s his second language but all in all he speaks it fluently and I understand him perfectly. Ditto for the accent, he’s got a good general accent. If you go to the Northern part of France the dialect is so terrible, you can’t even understand if you didn’t grew up there so I think BCoop’s accent is a generally good one. He can go to most parts of France, Belgium and other bilingual countries without any language barriers. It’s amazing he can speak it so fluently while he resides in America. I wonder how he maintains it.
Ewan has a mistress, what a surprise! Raise your hand if you think that Nicole Kidman was his lover during the filming of “Moulin Rouge”. (Oh, puhleez, who could blame her?)
give me a clue
That second picture says it all for me – chicka, boyfriend or not, is into Coop.
I agree with OPs, Coop is looking for a good relationship that will elevate his star power. It’s got to be a bit of challenge though – everyone has been with everyone else. (ick)
I like him more now than I ever did. Limitless impressed me and he did really good work in it. I’m not a huge fan-girl, but his name could now sell me a ticket.
I disagree, i think it’s rather just a business tactic via the use of seduction, she is a director, after all, and success is just as attractive as Brad’s star has been on the rise for quite some time now. I don’t see amour in her eyes, i see Euros…
Sorry, don’t agree with the whole ‘open marriage’ concept one little iota.
It’s such a sacred covenent that should never be entered into lightly. Why sh*t all over the church and God and everybody’s families for the sake of some bizarre, new age twist on the concept? Open marriages don’t work out?
As perfect example, look at what happened to Demi and Ashton. So much for their ‘open marriage’….>>>>>>>>
If you wanna throw open your doors to the cows, don’t go into the cowshed in the firstplace. If that’s the way you roll, stay single. Simples.
an “you don’t care about cheating” marriage?
