Matt LeBlanc

Anyway. Poor Matt.

I feel bad for both of them, but the story I read said he filed, so I don't feel that bad for him.

I feel sorry only for the little one. Stories about sick or disabled children make me cry since I had LilB. I hope that Marina can overcome these huge hurdles.

I remember hearing a story in a tabloid about how Matt and his wife divided up their mansion: Melissa and the kids in one half, Matt and his gay lover in the other half.

I don't believe it for a minute, but nevertheless, that story always makes me laugh. It's just so ridiculous and tabloid-y. I miss the old days when the tabloids all had stories like that, instead of just butt-kissing stories.

I don't pay attention to LeBlanc gossip (zzzzzzz....) but I always thought a good portion of the gay rumors stemmed from the relationship between Joey and Chandler on Friends. They were so almost gay it was great. The thing is, I don't recall ever hearing any rumors about Matthew Perry hmmm...

I must admit that when I read about his divorce, I thought "Who cares?" How the mighty have fallen. If you must do a spin-off, make sure it is a character people care about and make sure the quality is good. I hope he earned good money doing Joey because he might have effectively ruined his career (in as much as he had a post-Friends career).

They all have more than enough money to never work again. If all else fails, he could sponsor tires and get a quick $15 million or something.

According to Kirstin at E!, he's already hooking up with his co-star.

Secondly, that is too bad about Matt and his wife. But why is every man in Hollywood gay? Seriously guys, is there *anyone* who is not the closet? If there were really this many gay men around - straight women would have serious troubles. Seriously, I live in SF and I think this board goes way too far in calling *every* non-Alpha male closeted.

Thank you. Not so much here, but EVERY freaking actor has had at least one gay rumor. And with some, it doesn't matter WHAT they do, it's proof. HE's not married-he's gay. He's getting married-needs a beard. He's so manly-he's over compensating.

I have never heard gay rumors about Le Blanc, though.


Damn, that sucks for their little girl. Poor, poor wee thing.

Which one - Paulo Costanzo?

Sorry, but I tend to believe that everyone in Hollywood is gay. Except Harrison Ford.

Looks like he pulled a Brad Pitt. Only he didn't just leave a wife, but her kids and his own little baby. Wonder how Jennifer is liking him right now..

LeBlanc's split from his wife of three years, Melissa, came as a surprise to the public – and to Melissa herself. The trouble started in January when LeBlanc, 38, unexpectedly announced that he was moving out of the Encino, Calif., home he shared with Melissa, 41, and their 2-year-old daughter Marina.

"It was very sudden," Melissa's longtime friend Kelly Phillips tells PEOPLE. "She was absolutely blindsided by what transpired."

Then in March, Melissa accused her husband of being involved with another woman. LeBlanc, who had moved into an L.A. apartment near the studio where he tapes Joey, admitted he was.

Still, friends say, Melissa hoped for a reconciliation – and was stunned when, on March 30, an attorney for her husband called with the news that LeBlanc was about to file for divorce.

"She wanted to do counseling or therapy," a pal tells PEOPLE. "But Matt just didn’t want to work it out."

After the divorce announcement was made, LeBlanc even brought the Wisconsin-born Anders – who recently shot a pilot for Friends producer David Crane – to the ranch house north of Los Angeles that he and Melissa had shared.

What an asshole. I always thought he seemed like a nice guy, but I was probably projecting Joey Tribbiani onto him.

And yes, he did pull a Brad Pitt. Jennifer and Matt always seemed really close during the Friends years, so I wonder what her reaction is to this whole thing.
