Jason Momoa is on the cusp of superstardom, and Lisa Bonet is pissed off

wenn5706428

These are some new photos of Jason Momoa promoting Conan the Barbarian in Hollywood yesterday. He was doing some kind of budget handprint ceremony, and he was playing with a giant sword for the photo op. It was kind of sexy, seeing him play with something so big… and hard… I’ll stop. I like that he went sleeveless. That’s been missing thus far in the promotion for Conan – we needed more biceps. And I just now realized, after staring at his arms for ten minutes, that Jason is actually wearing a vest and some kind of… ascot…? Bless his heart.

Anyway, The Enquirer has an interesting piece this week about Jason’s newfound super-stardom and how his wife, Lisa Bonet, is not very happy about it. Lisa thought she was marrying some young, hot piece that would never break out! And now she’s disappointed that everyone wants to ride The Momoa.

Jason Momoa has turned into an overnight superstar, and his newfound popularity with the ladies is causing serious friction with his longtime lady love Lisa Bonet. Before Game of Thrones and Conan the Barbarian, Jason, 32, and 43-year-old Lisa had been living a happy, low-key existence, raising their two kids, Lola Iolani and Nakoa-Wolf. But now that Jason’s become a bona fide Hollywood heartthrob, Lisa is starting to become painfully aware of their 11-year age difference, revealed a source.

“Lisa disdains all of the Hollywood trappings, so to suddenly have Jason turn into the toast of the town is pretty much a nightmare,” said the source.

The tension between Jason and Lisa exploded after a recent red carpet event for Conan, when Jason got a bit too chummy with co-star Rose McGowan.

“Lisa didn’t appreciate Jason kissing Rose on the lips or grabbing her butt in front of the cameras, and she especially didn’t like the way Rose clung to him,” said the source. “She tried to keep her composure in public, but behind the scenes she let Jason have it.”

Lisa explained to Jason that Hollywood success can mean the kiss of death for relationships, and he apologized profusely, said the source. But the problem isn’t going away any time soon.

I tend to think Lisa probably has Jason wrapped around her finger, but who knows? Maybe this is true. She’s famously eschewed the Hollywood lifestyle because she got a taste of the industry when she was young. This is Jason’s first brush with real stardom – he might not take to it either… although he does seem to be enjoying it.

Here are some of those photos from last week’s Conan premiere, where Jason was handsy and kissy with Rose McGowan. You know, in last week’s post, I mentioned that Lisa Bonet looked like she wanted to shank Rose. I don’t think Lisa has anything to worry about with that one, though.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Bonet has game. Indesputable, Irrefutable, Unequivocal GAME.
    If need be she can move on from Moma to the next piece.

  2. Sloane Wyatt says:

    So nice to see Momoa porn over coffee. Didn’t really bother reading the post.

  3. Hibiscus says:

    Poor Lisa Bonet.

    Maybe a bit of face powder would be good start…

  4. Whatamess! says:

    Oh my..
    Maybe she can move on to M.Fassbender..
    Kidding Kaiser!

  5. CallieTrichid says:

    “I’m banging Jason Momoa, but you’ve probably never heard of him.”

    Hipster Lisa Bonet needs to become an internet meme.

  6. Katie says:

    His eyebrows are ridiculous. And by ridiculous, I mean mind-boggling.

  7. Kiki says:

    I seriously doubt Lisa Bonet is jealous of Rose…

  8. mary says:

    what’s wrong with Lisa’s face? Is it just bad make up or has she had something done? It looks really wierd. I’m no lisa bonet expert, hardly ever seen photos but…has she always looked like that?

  9. Quest says:

    Lisa is one lucky bitch, nuff said

  10. tapioca says:

    I might watch the movie, if only because Rose McGowan is rumoured to have given undisputably the worst performance of the year as a sorceress, but the film’s getting generally dire reviews (24% on RT) and no-one asked for a Conan remake anyway so I don’t think he’s going to be a “superstar” any time soon. Not that he doesn’t have a certain caveman attraction!

    And I thought it was Hollywood who “disdained” Lisa Bonet for poor career choices, rather than the other way round?

  11. Dana says:

    The ascot and vest look like a part of a tear-away Chippendale costume…

  12. Nanea says:

    Whatever happened to having her name changed to Lilakoi Moon? Isn’t she using that one any longer? Wasn’t her strange behavior the reason Zoe eventually moved in with her dad?

    At the time Jason and Lisa got together, I thought he was using her to get himself noticed. I never believed they’d stay together for so long, but I refuse to believe there’s anything going on with Rose McG.

  13. Julbug says:

    she’s lost him already and she knows it.

  14. lucy2 says:

    I doubt it’s true, but if it is, you can have someone sign onto a major role in a big movie like that and not expect some attention.
    Lisa just needs a little powder in that photo. Rose on the other hand, looks completely plastic. What happened to her?

  15. Jen says:

    This would make more sense if he could actually act worth a damn and had any chance at all outside of Schwarzenegger retreads. He doesn’t.

  16. carrie says:

    he’s good looking in his type but in CONAN,he’s nothing except great abs and great ass

  17. geekychic says:

    i find Lisa Bonet one of the most gorgeus women in HW (or better said, acting world). i never understood why she isn’t a superstar in her own right (i think she never wanted to be one?).
    don’t know much about her, but-gorgeous!! since i first saw her in cosby show.
    so…this momoa guy better be smart, IMO. 😉

  18. dread pirate cuervo says:

    I can’t see any reason for Jason to be kissing Rose on the lips. Who kisses their co-workers on the lips?

  19. Ari says:

    Regardless of their age or how hollywood he may become, this is still the father of her children (other children) not some jump-off. So lets get real here, unless he wants to destroy his family, I doubt he is going anywhere.

  20. K says:

    Momoa Mia! That is some fine swordsmanship there. Is it wrong I had a fantasy of him doing the Zorro (when Banderas cut of Zeta-Jones’ dress) (yes, I’m old school)?

  21. Andrea says:

    Can someone please explain what the deal is with his eyebrows? They confuse me….

  22. Jenn says:

    Lisa can pick them. Lenny Kravitz was a nobody and then people heard “Let Love Rule” (I loved him in 1989; I know I’m showing my age!) and really liked him and then he just exploded. She has an eye for….. talent.

  23. Harley says:

    Whatever Lisa’s got, I want some of it. The woman had fine ass Lenny and now she has Jason (who I would climb in a heartbeat! No joke!) who is 11 years her junior ta boot?! Good grief, if she packaged her mojo and sold it I would be first in line to buy it. She is one lucky bitch!

  24. Cringer says:

    hope he comes over to England soon!

  25. talbort says:

    Lisa Bonet isn’t a great (or even good) actress either but next to Rose McFrozeFace she’s Helen Mirren in a two-piece performing Shakespeare during a thunderstorm.

  26. Hollowdoll says:

    Okay, when he makes that excited 12 year old boy face I find him kind of cute.

  27. velourazure says:

    aren’t those poses every guy’s fantasy? a bunch of women hanging all over you?

  28. Erinn says:

    Man, I honestly never say this about celebs, but Jason Mamoa could be wearing a clown suit (clowns freak me out) and I’d still want to jump him.

    Loved him in Game of Thrones… and just really enjoy watching his interviews. There’s something likable about him.

    And Lisa Bonet always struck me as a bit crazy, but I really don’t think she has to worry about him. I’d be upset with the age difference too, but from what I’ve heard him say about his family, he seems to genuinely be happy where he is.

  29. Stacia says:

    Kinda inappropriate to kiss the female costar in front of the wifey. HE seems a bit immature and tactless despite his good looks.

    And Lisa, I have nothing against her but tone down the BUTTAFACE.

  30. Jennifer says:

    I’m just going to sit here in my cube at work and enjoy my coffee..and Jason. I may even enjoy a cigarette afterwards, even though I don’t smoke.

  31. Tiffany says:

    @Tapioca. With the fans of Game Of Thrones buying tickets, I think this film will be a modest hit. For me, it is to see him in very little for two hours. :)!

  32. itstrue says:

    My hubby had a Stargate Atlantis obsession for a while. I’m not sure he figured out why he was gettin’ the good stuff after we would watch….hahaha.

  33. LisaMarie says:

    I wouldn’t mind playing with that sword. That Lisa is one lucky bitch

  34. texbrook says:

    I passed The Momoa and Lisa on the street a few years ago. This was before he was big, but obviously, I knew who she was. I think he was pushing the stroller. My throat closed up and I felt my heart fall into my loins. This man is GD HOT. And pushing a stroller? Forget it. I went straight home and got into bed.

  35. Boo says:

    Rose McGowan is such a hack. She might try to give Lisa a run for it in the crazy department, but Lisa will win any contest.

    He is a fine looking dude…but I’ve never heard him speak. He seems to have a touch of dumb around the eyes…I hope not. Dumb kills the hot for me.

  36. Quest says:

    I love a man who can swing a good sword.

  37. Me says:

    Jealous… of Rose McGowan? Really? She always looks as though she just came off heroin, besides, she isnt exactly young and fresh herself.

    And if The Momoa is being a bit of a slut now I dont think fame has anything to do with it. If I ever saw him walking down the street and he wasnt famous… I’d still need to remember to breathe.

  38. Net says:

    I would like to slather him up in some of Paula Dean’s best butter..omg….so this what a smutty tingle feels like….

  39. Net says:

    My hubby had a Stargate Atlantis obsession for a while. I’m not sure he figured out why he was gettin’ the good stuff after we would watch….hahaha.

    OMG I LOVE THIS…BAHAHAHAHAHA

  40. jesikabelcher says:

    Am I the only one who doesnt find this dude attractive at all?? YUK!!!

  41. 4Real says:

    Lisa is just remembering how it was with Lenny Kravits. And can somebody please roll her around in some sand or something?!

  42. Jezi says:

    @Stacia I’m with you…regardless of how jealous or not jealous Lisa may be, it’s completely inappropriate to do that infront of your wife. I would’ve shanked Rose right there on the carpet and bitch slapped Jason.

  43. Firecracker says:

    I hope they stay together! Me too, with Lisa can pick ’em!

  44. JM says:

    Lisa Bonet has always struck me as the kind of gal who marches to the beat of her own drum and doesn’t give a flying F what anyone thinks. She’s also older, wiser and knows the trappings that come with fame but I could definately see her telling Jason “if you think you can do better, don’t let the door hit you in the A on the way out.”

    However, I don’t see Jason straying anytime soon. In a recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel (I think), he described her as his dream girl and he got all googly eyed when talking about her and how they met and it only made me love him more. His devotion to his family is as sexy as his smoking hot bod.

  45. Blue says:

    He is so Hottttttttt. I doubt he’s going anywhere. Even if he did it wouldn’t be RG. I mean what a downgrade. But that kiss was inappropriate.

  46. j says:

    Rose McGowan? I doubt Lisa is concerned about her. And a few totally public kisses with a costar are no big deal.

    I think they are one of the hottest couples in Hollywood. Why are we not all over this?

  47. PeekaBooICU says:

    Lisa should be concerned. Rose McGowan was partially responsible for breaking up Robert Rodriguez’ 16 year marriage while working with him. Hope he didn’t/doesn’t fall for the tramp.

  48. skilo says:

    I have always been struck by how beautiful Lisa Bonet is. I mean when the Cosby show first came out even with her braces I still thought she was unbelievably beautiful. I used to wish if I could look like anyone else in the world it would be her. He does nothing for me. Nothing.

  49. Goofpuff says:

    Lisa has more game than Rose. Jason would be an idiot to go for that.

  50. The Other Hand says:

    He dies not wear a shirt the entire movie! Go watch this movie, we need sequels!

  51. aloe juice says:

    Isn’t that the blonde bitch who was in a threesome with kim cattrall and the hotel dude in sex and the city?

  52. Jen34 says:

    Jason seems to be enjoying his newly-found fame. The manwhore in him is dying to get out. I think Lisa has plenty to worry about, unless she’s the kind to turn a blind eye to it.

  53. Chloe Banister says:

    I have a difficult time feeling pity for Lisa Bonet. After all, Jason Momoa was engaged when he hooked up with her. Frankly, I found it curious that he would get involved with Lisa, let alone father her two children.
    I believe Conan will flop, if the industry reviews are any indication, which could stave of relationship disaster for a while. But in the end, I believe Jason will move on from Lisa. The age difference is one factor, but she is also an extreme eccentric and it is something that will ultimately have an impact on his career. He has a lot of ambition and it is hard to maintain a relationship when both people want different things out of life.

  54. Jaye E says:

    11 years is not that huge an age difference. Geez…it’s not like she’s 60 and he’s 20.

  55. Sigh. says:

    No worries for Bonet.

    They are HATING his movie right now on Rotten Tomatoes (@27% critics/51% audience). And many bad reviews include comments on HIS subpar performance.

  56. Kelz says:

    12 years can be a huge difference between a man and a woman though and as a woman I hate to even say that, but it is entirely the truth. I think she should worry, he’s a young guy who’s got his name in a lot of Hollywood producers mouths. Even if Conan doesn’t do great, I doubt this will be the last we hear from Jason.

  57. VeneficA Delirium says:

    I’ve never even seen this guy in anything, but he’s already being an ass, and his attainably good looks through being high maintenance and vain enough doesn’t compensate it.

    The rape comment was stupid, but I decided to not judge him for it, but he’s coming across more and more as an arrogant skeeze who can’t keep his hands to himself.

    And Rose McGowan, I’ve never found pretty. She looks like Katy Perry’s white trash cousin who overcompensates by giving outhouse quickies. No, the plastic surgery didn’t help but she’s always had Steve Buscemi eyes and a pug face. I never got why people lamented over her “destroying” her good looks, which were never really there in the first place.

    I wouldn’t put it past either one of them for cheating. After all, he “gets to rape beautiful women” under the pretenses of being an actor and didn’t Rose McGowan screw a director who was involved with someone else at the time?

    They both seem like sleazebags.

  58. Scarlet Vixen says:

    Rose McGowan has seriously destroyed her face. Sh’s jacked it so much it looks like it’s painful for her to even talk. 🙁

    I don’t Lisa Bonet has to worry about her–you can still see the Marilyn Manson stench wafting off of Rose McGowan. And even in her 40s Lisa Bonet is still way hotter!

  59. KLO says:

    An unnecessary kiss on the lips for your co-star when your wife is right there? No. No.
    This isn’t how things should be done.
    If a woman did this, not Jason, people would be screaming “whore” by now.
    I feel something fishy about this guy. He can talk sweet, but his past shows that he takes what he needs, then moves on. I don’t see him and Lisa lasting, unless she just puts up with it all.
    I’ve seen guys like that before, it’s a cliche, i know, but they ARE all the same.

  60. Eve says:

    @ Venefica Delirium:

    Agree with your comment # 57 (except that I think she used to be beautiful).

    By the way, yes, McGowan had an affair with Robert Rodriguez (then married with six kids). Nice.

  61. Shannon says:

    Oh no….Lisa has a lot to worry about. She better keep her side on all the bitches scoping out her man. That’s real talk.

  62. bitchbelying says:

    Are they even legally married or just ceremoniously married?

    I like Lisa Bonet and all but i hope she’s prepared to chase these bitches off her man.

  63. mln76 says:

    Ok so no one else mentioned it she could have been HUGE but gave it up for Lenny and Zoe and then by Lenny’s own admission he cheated on her left and right when he became a rock star… and as hot as Lenny was back in the day Jason is 1000 times hotter so you can’t blame a girl for being a bit insecure. Also remember how McGowan went after R.Rodriguez who was with his wife for years and year???

  64. Jess says:

    @Andrea: Those are scars from when he got attacked with a broken bottle that required over 100 stitches.

  65. Iamanon says:

    @itstrue “My hubby had a Stargate Atlantis obsession for a while. I’m not sure he figured out why he was gettin’ the good stuff after we would watch….hahaha. ”

    Totally!! My bf knew I was acting weird after we’d been watching Game of Thrones (so sad Momoa won’t be in season 2!) and I was all over him, but I just couldn’t help it, it’s like an instinctual lust you cannot ignore! Must be some kind of alpha male thing.

    I do hope he doesn’t betray his family by sleeping around with other women, that would dampen the hotness flame. He seems smart and sweet in interviews, but then he is an actor, you never know if people are being 100% sincere.

    But he is lovely, I’m looking forward to Conan a lot 🙂

  66. kimberly says:

    he’s hot

  67. corey says:

    OT but wow I bet those kids are gorgeous. Lisa has a tendency to mate with ridiculously beautiful men and make ridiculously beautiful kids (ie. Zoe Kravitz)
    Back on topic: I believe this story 100% He’s hot. You can tell he is loooving the attention, totally lapping it up. In contrast to her disdain for the “Hollywood scene”. Explosion!

  68. Abby says:

    Lisa had her time in the Hollywood spot light. She may not have liked it, but she had it. It’s his turn and if it’s something he wants, she’s going to have to deal with it. I’ve read and seen interviews with Jason and he seems totally devoted to her. I don’t think kissing Rose McGowen for a picture is any big thing, especially with Lisa right there. It’s what he does when she’s not there I would worry about!

  69. RuddyZooKeeper says:

    I’m probably reading too much into the pix, but it looks to me like Rosie McHorndog grabbed (her muscles look flexed) and went on tiptoes for that little smooch. She’s puckered up ready for a wet one, and he looks like he’s kissing his daughter or something. Not exactly seething sexuality on his side. Inappropriate, yes. But how do you react if someone takes you by surprise like that or a photog screams, “Kiss!” and she invades your space? … I have no idea why I’m defending him. Rose just always looks like she smells bad and is on the prowl.

  70. Justme says:

    Went and saw Conan this evening and really liked it. Haven’t seen Game Of Thrones either, so I guess I’m out of that loop. Looks like I’ll have to check it out on Netflix? Rose’s acting wasn’t too terrible but dear God. You people think she looks like a freak now? Go watch the movie, then come talk to me LOL!!!! I realize she’s playing a charachter, but when I compair pics, I don’t think I ever realized what a huge forehead she had until now.

  71. tina says:

    Jason Momoa is one gorgeous hunk of a man! He is steaming hot! He can do so much better than Lisa Bonet. She’s always been very strange and drabby looking to me. It’s like he’s with his Mother!! Age is just a number, but she’s freaking 11 years older than he is. He’s got a lot of young fine chicklings out there to choose from that could give him things he needs. It’s Hollywood!! If you don’t want to get mixed up in it, then don’t act. He’s way too delicious to keep under wraps. The man should be shared with the world. We all want a piece of him. Let him have fun! He looks like too much of a free spirit to be controlled by an old lady. Sorry, just my opinion.

  72. judy says:

    NO lip kissing other women!! Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Jason pull it together dude. If that’s how you roll with women, then roll on out!! You’re taken dude. Deal with it or move on. Don’t use premieres, parties, and movie sets to get strange.

  73. Meanchick says:

    Aenflex. You said it. LB has G-A-M-E and is not one bit pissed ot paranoid.

  74. Im thankful for the blog.Really thank you! Much obliged.

  75. Miss Foodie says:

    People tend to do what they are allowed to, if your boyfriend knew that under no circumstances would him kissing some prosthetic looking mannequin would NOT be tolerated he wouldn’t, she’s just as much to blame as him. Smh.

    However, with that said, Lord have mercy. When are people going to create a clone machine, I don’t even need the original, I’ll respect his relationship. A clone will do *wipes down self and begins to hyperventilate*
