Last week, there was some breaking news when Ewan McGregor was photographed strolling around Paris at night hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm with French actress Melanie Laurent, best known to American audiences for her performance in Inglourious Basterds. Ewan is married, you see, and has been for 15 years. And Melanie is not that wife. So, scandal, except most people pretty much think that Ewan and his wife Eve have an open relationship, so the most Ewan can be accused of is indiscretion.
Star Magazine has a piece about Ewan and Melanie, but they included a new twist on the story: apparently, before Melanie got her hands on Ewan, she tried to seduce Brad Pitt on the Basterds set. Merde!
Move over, Angelina Jolie – blonde stunner Melanie Laurent is emerging as Hollywood’s top man stealer!
Although Melanie failed to snare Angie’s mate, brad Pitt when the two worked on Inglourious Basterds, Melanie has now set her sights on married dad of three, Ewan McGregor.
The duo, who finished shooting the drama Beginners in December, left a Paris eatery hand in hand on February 9.
“Melanie was snuggling up to Ewan,” says an observor. “They were very tender with each other.”
Another insider says Ewan’s 15 year marriage to Eve is no obstavle for Melanie: “Melanie is shameless. She flirted with Brad constantly during filming and was extremely touchy-feely. He didn’t give in to her – but it looks like Ewan is hardly pushing her away!”
[From Star Magazine, print edition, March 1 2010]
Homewrecker FAIL!!! No, what was that again? You mean Melanie was the one who was after Brad, and not Diane Kruger, as widely reported?!? You mean the tabloids lied? Yeah. And as for the whole “Melanie is the one pushing herself on taken men” thing…hmm. They make Melanie out to be the bad guy, and that just makes me want to defend her. Maybe Ewan really does have an open marriage, in which case, God bless. But something about the Ewan-Melanie story that is striking me as weird. If Eve wasn’t worried about her marriage, why did she trot out for a bunch of photo ops right after the other photos broke (below, Eve and Ewan at the Berlin Film Festival just three days later)? Is it her way of publicly supporting a wayward husband? Is she marking her territory?

Totally unrelated to this story apart from one fact, the word Merde. My bestfriend is French and whenever she curses and uses that word, makes me laugh no end. Very childish I know.
Back to Euan and his possible wandering, that photo with the French actress does look a little bit more than friendly but then again she could have just leaned into him just for that moment.
isn’t melanie laurent with daniel bruhl?
Oh for cryin out loud! ACTORS are just flirty and touchy-feely to begin with.
Sienna Miller has some competition for ‘Shameless Homewrecker’ title. LOL!
Doesnt she know Angelina will shank a beeotch? Fire has been played with. I bet that is the smoke fueling all the brangelina break up rumors.
Oh and haha- What comes around, goes around Ange, eh? (I have been waiting a bazillion years to say that!)
I can’t stand this so so pretentious actress. Wouldn’t be surprised if this story was true, she’s basically the french Sienna Miller.
Reading this story reminds me of something. I had to google a lil.I think the tabs got their stories mixed up.
It was Diane Kruger that was in love with Brad since Troy. She wished she had sexy times on the film with him in Troy, but that didnt happen (i think, i dont remember the movie)
Then Ingl.B came, when she was hoping again, but nothin happened.
It’s something she said herself on interviews.
Is that her on the 2nd pic? You can see she’s all gushy next to him.
Melanie has a bow-wow doggie face. Like a little yippie dog. She shouldn’t stand so close to Diane and Angelina – it just makes her look worse.
Star shouldn’t have talked about Brad because it doesn’t make sense. I don’t know how movie making works but Melanie and Brad had no scenes together. I’m sure they bumped into each other a few times while filming but I can’t imagine that they were on set at the same time for there to be constant flirting. I’m positive that Star did a Brad/Diane story so why didn’t they do a Melanie/Brad story a year ago?
Oh shit. Diane had sexy time with him on Troy. I guess she wanted some more time (off screen).

brad looks like an ass with that stupid ascot. skankolina should never stand next to a French woman — they’ll one up her every time.
Big problem with an “open” relationship. Any time I’ve ever heard of one it ends badly with someone falling in love with a new person, not surprisingly.
Melanie Laurent is France’s Megan Fox.
Okay that’s super harsh. Maybe she’s more like France’s Eva Mendes. Either way she’s in a ton of movies here and she’s not considered very talented.
Sheesh. I figured Eve went to the film festival premiere out of support for her husbands career, and also because they’re fun. Are we going to see conspiracies every time married people leave the house together?
I love a good homewrecker. That is why I am a Angie fan. I think homewrecking is funny.
Eve turns out to be a top art director and project designer. Any film festival would welcome her, based on her resume.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but the women’s make up in that header photo cracks me up…I don’t know what is worse–the “Sharpie” eyeliner or the “Red Wax” lips!
Eve is pretty. I hope Ewan and Eve work things out. If they really do have an open relationship he should really think twice before falling for someone else..
I guess the tabloids need a new scapegoat to throw to the sharks for some hating fun. Congratulations, Melanie Laurent, it’s YOUR turn!!!
Yes, it’s a fun little game. Let’s take someone sketchy, and create a story line around a few pictures, and . . . voila, “she’s a homewrecking whorebag!” AND, let’s stay with that story line,
because we know the people with similar experiences in their lives will find an outlet for their aggression. And, as long as they are buying it, we will SELL, SELL, SELL . . .
Then, we move on to the next victim.
SO MUCH FUN. WEEEEEEE!!!!!!
The French chick is so ugly!
So, a French actress nobody in America ever heard of was photographed arm in arm with an Brit actor most people in America never heard of and all of a sudden Brad Pitt is in the ragmag story!! Now, that’s creative!! I mean, somebody must have sat around for hours thinking up that one: “Let me see, this French piece was seen with Ewan Whats-His-Name and tabs in Europe think it means something and this same French piece was in that hit movie that starred Brad Pitt!! So, what do you guys think? Should we run a story about how the French piece tried to steal Brad from Angelina? I know, I know, we already wrote that Brad and Diane Kruger had a fling during that movie but probably the idiots who read our rag don’t remember that. Okay, let’s run with this exclusive. Should be good for a few hits.”
That’s how it’s done in ragmag land!!
toe, i don’t recall brad pitt having on screen sexy time with diane kruger in troy, but he did with rose bryne.
So Ewan was sloppy seconds?! Ha ha ha ha ha!
No one stole anyone. Ever hear of an open relationship? Desire is a flickering thing. Some people aren’t orientated towards monogamy but are lucky enough to find someone like minded, the rest either run around cheating, never get attached or implode. The McGregor’s keep there’s on the downlow cause many people don’t understand the concept.
Spelling and punctuation fail for the the person who wrote the Star article.
Hmmm I doubt this. They didn’t have one scene together.
Homewrecking isn’t something to laugh at, I would never support a homewrecker. I do not believe Angelina and Brad cheated, therefor I do like them. Jen had everything to gain by admitting it, but denied it till this day along with ALL her friends. I don’t even know why a few call her that name because she’s never hurt anyone.
The only reason there is a story is because of the Brad connection. Otherwise no one would care.
I’m sort of a Troy afficionado (Eric Bana, drooooool), and Diane Kruger had no special times with Brad in the movie. She played Helen of Troy, who was with Orlando Bloom’s character, not Brad’s, Achilles.
But his character had mad tent sex with Rose’s character.
I don’t think anyone can take Sienna Miller’s Man Stealin’ Ho crown. It doesn’t matter if she’s never with anyone again, she gets to keep it because I can’t stand her face (or Jude Law’s).
17: I was thinking the same thing!
Yeesh, those look exactly like those terrible Wax Lips “candies”.
Please!
Melaine Laurent doesn’t neet to “steal” any man. Any man alive would walk away with her volutarily with tears of joy in his eyes. I, for one, will go after her as long as she throws me a smile.
If the headlines read: Brad tried to get Melaine Laurent before Ewan McGregor finally did. Then I will believe the story!
Ewan looks hungover in that picture with his wife, and she looks terrified. Who knows what the full story is, but I think that picture is worth 1,000 words.
I am liking all comments from the French here.
As far as Angelina not standing next to French women, she’s half French herself, so they can only half-up her!
She’s got better cheekbones and no nasty racoon eyes.
Trash, Angelina Jolie is not “half French.” Her mother was from Iowa, born to a French Canadian father and an American mother. Angelina has never said her mother was French.
Isn’t Jolie half French-Canadian? Plus, the sheik part of being French is the accent, the style, the culture. Angelina is just another American. An exceptionally beautiful American.
Ewan and his wife do look pretty uncomfortable in that photo up there.
Oh Celebitchy, how I love thee, and my escapism habit! Thanks for being a consistently amusing enabler.
Angelina’s mom isn’t French? I always thought she was!
You can’t steal people.
Jesus.
And open relationships are more common than most people would think.
WHAT the hell is happening in Hollywood?
Melanie should be jailed, Seriously.
She seems like man eating carnivorous whore.
Melanie obviously doesn’t know Angie is much more stunning and a major freak in the bedroom.
She’s nowhere close to Angie’s league and probably never will be.
Think she’s a little “famewhorish’?
Angelina is not French, neither is she half French Canadian. Her mother was from Chicago. She is American through and through.
You mean there is any one who lusts after Bradley in this day and age? When he looks like he reeks of spoilt milk and urine, barf…
Ah, but TRVLBUG529, at least Melanie Laurent has a little natural curve. I’m pretty sure any man would prefer that in bed with him than AJ’s bones sticking out everywhere. And everybody knows that the more a girl talks about how amazing and freaky her sex life is, the more vanilla the reality.
Angelina Jolie is a reflection of multicultural USA. Which is a fabulous thing….she is a mixture of French Canadian, Germanic, Slavic and (has a splash of) Native American. Her beauty is a result of the great American migrant story.
That’s just ridicolous.She never had a scene in the whole film with him,and she told herself on an interview that she met him for the very first time only at the Cannes film festival.And that evening with Ewan McGregor they weren’t alone,there were a friend with them who said that they where so close just because that night it was freezing.So,please stop slandering people with such heavy and unfounded accusations specially with such a talented young actress like her

I don’t care what she and Ewen McGregor do in their private lives. Melanie Laurent is a fantastic actress.
