I sometimes wish my love life was as exciting as an episode of Gossip Girl. Not that scheming and double-guessing are my Valium, but there’s a certain rush to be gotten from dating one guy to another. My love life is so staid now that I need to invent my own drama! It’s sad but true: Your life can be more interesting and your popularity deemed higher if you’re with a cool dude, while dating someone who’s not quite the crowd favourite won’t do you any favours. Nowhere is this more evident than in celebrity couplehood. When celebs have a change of heart and move on to their next squeeze, they are actually profit or lose from it. Let’s be realistic and call it trading up or trading down. These five celebs come to mind.
Trading up!
Miley Cyrus
Now: Liam Hemsworth
Then: Justin Gaston
Not only is her fellow co-star in The Last Song the bro of future Thor Chris Hemsworth, he’s got a lot more going on than Gaston. The Nashville Star finalist is better known these days as an underwear model.
Rachel Bilson
Now: Hayden Christensen
Then: Adam Brody
As much we heart Adam, his career is lagging behind as he languishes in supporting roles. Hayden Christensen is definitely a bigger star. Anyway how many stars can always say he has toy figurines made in his likeness as Anakin Skywalker?
Shia LaBeaouf
Now: Carey Mulligan
Then: China Brezner
Who on earth is China Brezner? Exactly. Why do think Shia seems utterly devoted to his new girlfriend who’s not only an Oscar Best Actress nominee, a magazine favourite and all-round sweetie. She’s the “most talented actress” he’s ever met and he’s “grateful” she ever agreed to star in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps where they met. Geez Shia, we geddit!
Trading down! Taylor Swift
Now: Cory Monteith
Then: Taylor Lautner
We’re a bit undecided on this initially but seriously, Cory Monteith playing a singing jock on TV really can’t compete with the hottest body on earth since Marky Mark. Yes, it has been that long. Taylor S, may your next guy be cooler as it’ll be quite hard to top Taylor L’s ripped abs.
John Mayer
Now: Twitter
Then: Jennifer Aniston
The notorious playboy last real relationship was with on/off ex Jennifer Aniston. He’s gone on to make several faux pas in interviews with Rolling Stone and Playboy where he badmouthed his exes before going onto his favourite platform Twitter to apologise repeatedly. He’d mentioned “Twitter is my girlfriend” but hasn’t Tweeted in a bit. Oh no John, ignoring even your virtual girlfriend? Looks like your love life has gone down the drain for now.
Can you think of any other celebs? Lemme know. Even better, why don’t we compare notes when you come down for The CLEO Girls’ Night Out party on June 3, 2010 at Istetan Tampines Mall Atrium. Click here now to find out more! I hope to see ya there!
