I agree with The Evil Beet writer Molls, that it has gone from the Summer of Death, to the Winter/ Spring of Cheaters. Rounding up which actors slept with which whores, which week, and for how long, went from being popcorn fodder to a damn chore. Seriously, sometimes, as a blogger, you find yourself wishing these people would keep their peens in their pants and give you just one day off.
Back to business. David Boreanaz of Bones stuck his pee pee somewhere he shouldn’t have, and tainted his marriage of nine years. Yes, another a-hole who thinks nothing of boning some skank and ruining a near decade-long marriage. He made the admission in People magazine, which is the smartest cheating celebrity PR move since David Letterman admitted affairs on his show. The pay-off for Boreanaz is two-fold; first, he was being blackmailed for six-figures by the woman he slept with a few times and so coming forward means she won’t profit as much from the affair; two, spilling details means he has more control of the story and by the time the mistress comes forward, we’ll all be over it.
Boreanaz had a short-term relationship with the woman; one source says they hooked up “2 or 3 times.” He started paying her money, several thousand dollars [at a time], but she began demanding more, threatening to go public with the affair. Boreanaz then confessed the affair to his wife. Enter Gloria Allred, who reps the mistress. Allred contacted Boreanaz’s lawyer, Marty Singer, and demanded 6 figures. [TMZ]
Boreanaz [tells People magazine about the affairs] “Our marriage has been tainted with my infidelities. I just want to be open and honest. I was irresponsible,” he revealed. The actor is coming forward because his former mistress threatened him. “I was associated with a woman who I was involved with and had a relationship with. She asked for money. I felt as though I was being blackmailed or there was some sort of extortion.”
He says now he’s focusing on Bergman. “We’re working on our marriage. We’re working on repairing what has been damaged so badly.” The couple have two children; 8-year-old Jaden and 8-month old Bardot. [Pop Eater]

Damn…is there anyone who hasn’t cheated?
How could he cheat…on HER!!!!
…because there’s so little common sense in Hollywood.
Wow. Wow…
I was just gonna post “first the die-offs last year, now the jerk-offs this year…”
Isn’t it the humanity of celebrity that keeps us enthralled? It’s a reminder that none of us is that much different from the other.
I’m still waiting for Amy’s sex tape to hit cyberspace. Now, THAT would be something.
Dude – it’s out there. Look, and it shall be found… Oh, I’m banging David and Tiger in that video.
True, it’s the same reason we’re obsessed with the rest of their personal lives. Collective schadenfreude.
“Irresponsible” is the new code-word for scumbag I suppose.
Yeah – and “tainted” is the code-word for “f-cked up”.
I see your tainted…and I raise you a:
“We’re working on repairing the damage.”
is the new code phrase for:
“My lawyer is trying like hell to make sure I get to keep my testicles in the divorce settlement.”
I’m too busy dying of laughter… I just… I’m done. You win.
