Every time this thread pops up I want to post "still married?" like some celebs threads inspire "not dead?" or even "dead?"

I could be wrong, but I don't think these two are going to spend a lot of time actually under the same roof. If she's based mostly in the UK and he's in LA, they might be able to stayed married a long time.

Maybe not entirely her fault but the way George's PR team is agressively pushing her as the most accomplished barrister/loving aunt/ smart/ funny/ international human right lawyer/ intelligent/ on his level/ fashionable etc etc has me irrationally disliking her. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't see an article about her in the media. I wonder how much of it is genuine interest and how much is George's PR push. She's not a celebrity, she's the spouse of one so I don't get why People magazine deems it necessary to inform the public of her every movement. I can say that she should take a page from Matt Damon's wife but I doubt she married Clooney to lurk in the shadows and be low key like Luciana.

She's been featured on ET a few times since the wedding and it's always the same theme: Look at how gorgeous she is! The hair! The clothes! All while performing her important and intelligence-requiring job of human rights lawyer! You go girl! (you go girl is a direct quote) It sounds very throwback. They act as if she's some freak of nature because she manages to look beautiful and fashionable and maintain a prominent career at the same time. This is mostly the fault of the media, but George's rollout of the relationship has something to do with it as well because the lazy media is just going along with the template Team Clooney presented to them.

Off topic, but I just do not understand why ginormous purses are so popular. What in the world do people carry in them? They always look flappy and empty. Diaper bags are glamorous? Don't get it. But then I am very very far off the fashion grid. I read one theory that ginormous designer purses are a indication of how much money you might have. And there isn't much inside the purse. Think about the Kartrashians. The same could be said of the Kardashians.

Ah, so the contents of the purse represent the contents of the mind? I'm waiting for inevitable Facebook quiz - "What does your purse say about you? Answer these 10 questions to find out!"
I must be consuming different media, because I don't see much of Gamal at all. Once the wedding furor died down, it's been pretty quiet. I see tabloids with random dark-haired beauties on the covers, but I ignore them because I assume it's yet another Kardashian story about nothing. THAT'S a media obsession I truly don't understand - at least George and Amal have actual jobs and accomplishments.

I can say that she should take a page from Matt Damon's wife but I doubt she married Clooney to lurk in the shadows and be low key like Luciana. To be fair, I wonder how low-key can Amal be just because she is now the wife of the infamous (former) bachelor George Clooney. Matt Damon didn't have the same kind of rep, which may be why Luciana can get away with flying under the radar.

She didn't have this big exciting career or this fascinating sense of style (again, to me; Amal dresses so strangely and occasionally brilliantly)...she's just kind of a cipher while Amal seems to have everything in the world going for her and is definitely her own woman. Anyway, again, this is just my take; obviously Amal is very polarizing.

In some ways, the interest in Amal right now is probably not that much different than the attention that was given to Carolyn Bessette when she married JFK, Jr. Her wedding dress sparked a big trend and her style was quintessential late-90s minimalism and completely copied by Gwyneth. Amal's style is a bit more whimsical, but I think she's more striking, with better hair. Add in her professional accomplishments, and that she's the one who finally got Clooney down the aisle (he's not the de facto prince of an American political dynasty, but he was the Great White Whale of celebrity boyfriends), and it's a recipe for instant notoriety.
