Matt Lucas of television’s Little Britain and his long term partner television producer Kevin McGee are separating, making this the first gay celebrity divorce. We all knew this day would sadly come, but the good news is that this isn’t one of the unions that have taken place since the Californian legalization in July, but the ending of a 18-month-long marriage in the UK.

I thought this would be an interesting tie in from Tulipe's earlier post.

On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it. Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury with a mobile phone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside. Robert Pattinson, 23 and from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.
