Richard Marx and Cynthia Rhodes divorcing!

After seeing their photo, I am thinking Lesbian divorce!!!

No!

I used to always get her and Janet Jones mixed up.

You must really have very little to think about because this is not NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only is it news R4 - it is ****BREAKING**** news.

I'm disappointed in you OP.

What's the point of divorcing now? He must be going through a mid-life crisis.

He's a tiny man.

R6 Just like Kevin Costner, whose professional and private lives have been a mess ever since.

Richard Marx... one of my wank favorites when I was a teen. He was so pretty.

Which one is Richard and which one is Cynthia? They're both handsome ladies.

His jeans were so tight! What a little twink. Wonder how he's looking these days

They are nobodies. Next.

Guess he won't be right there waiting for her.

The 80s had such ugly clothes

[quote] Guess he won't be right there waiting for her.

She needed some Room to Move.

Who?

those jeans tho

This is exciting!

Apparently, their wedding vows don't mean nothin'.

Was she in Dirty Dancing?

Yes it is, Casey.

Richard and Cynthia today, with the third party named as the reason for their divorce:

Richard talks about the divorce:

He looks creepy - like a Thunderbird.

If only they could have held on to the nights...held on to the memories.

Richard and Cynthia set up Brook Shields with Andre Agassi

And Cynthia's goin' on a manhunt! (I know--she didn't sing it, but she danced to it!)

Now and forever, he won't be her man

He Should've Known Better than to fall in love with her.

[quote]Was she in Dirty Dancing?

Yes.

Cyn is 7 years older than Richard. They first met when Richard was working on the soundtrack for STAYING ALIVE, a film in which she starred in. At the time, she thought he was much too young for her. Two years later, they were reacquainted at a party, and after a 4 year courtship, they married in '89.

She was the girl in Toto's "Rosanna" video

I hope she didn't have to find out the hard way...

Clutch the pearls!!!!!!

He pings in that Katie Couric interview. He's like a younger Barry Manilow. Maybe it's all the plastic surgery. Any rumors?

Cynthia is aborting Richard, Baby! I hope it ends well.

always best to dump the menopausals and get a younger woman

Shocking! Thanks for posting, I like to keep up with the latest celebrity news.

Time was all they had until the day they said goodbye!

It's like a wormhole back to 7th grade! I'll Hold Onto the Nights I spent watching Cynthia say, "Go back to your playpen ... Baby."

I forgot what a great body Cynthia Rhodes had, or still has.

Cyn's a rare triple thread (singer, dancer, actress).

I always thought she could do better.

You bitches are slipping, they separated last summer. I bet her eating disorder spun into overdrive.

Yes (R42) Cynthia was a spectacular dancer, good actress and okay singer. She even survives "Stayin' Alive" with her dignity intact- no mean feat!

I would shell out full price if The Weisslers put her in Chicago as Roxie.

Such a hussy!

If Richard has kept the same hairstyle all the years then he deserves to be divorced .

Maybe he'll write a few more songs now.

Didn't know the two were married, so can't get terribly upset about them divorcing.

WHO ARE THEY!!

She probably initiated proceedings because he left her by the railroad.

R50 she was an actress, he was a singer, they are has-beens

I never noticed until I looked at that picture but Richard Marx is wall-eyed. (i'm sorry but I don't know the politically correct term for wall-eyed... Differently eyed?)

I loved the running gag Cynthia's FLASHDANCE character had throughout the movie. "He'll call!"

In "Runaway" with Tom Selleck

I used to stare in wonderment at his tight jeans on the cover of the REPEAT OFFENDER album

She is still gorgeous, and I agree with the person who said that she was too good for him. I'm assuming that he was the one who cheated? He was so in love with her back in the day.

I don't mean no harm. I wish him well but I LOVED me some Cynthia Rhodes and miss her so much. I thought she was a great singer, dancer, and actress. I hope she tries to get back into entertaining.

He had AIDS and she didn't want to get it.

Revolting, R59.

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

Dick Marx was the first artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the Hot 100, and he was the first male solo artist to have four singles from his debut hit the top 3 (Whitney was the first female).

The best part of Runaway was watching Cynthia run in 3" heels in all the chase scenes.

Fierce!

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

He really had some great late '80s-early '90s songs. Angelia, Satisfied, Endless Summer Nights, Hold on To The Nights, Should've Known Better, Don't Mean Nothing, Too Late To Say Goodbye, Right Here Waiting...ahh, the memories...

I'm going to download Endless Summer Nights right now on iTunes!!!!

Yes!!!!!!!!

Richard and Dave Koz separated at birth.

Anyway, I'm in the music industry. Richard was my very first celeb interview. He couldn't have been nicer. I've interviewed Dave too. Nice guy and still a friend of mine.

R68, what about the members of Kiss? Any one ping to you?

r68, so you were around for MTV's heyday?

What was that like? I love to hear stories, if you'd like to share. Thanks.

LOL at "secretary music" - so true. But I always thought he was hot as hell.

R68 - and I would totally do Dave Koz too. Both are gorgeous. I don't care if they're short.

R69 no real Kiss gossip. I sat in on an interview with what's his name and his tongue really is that long. He showed it to all of us.

Another industry friend of mine has worked with Kiss for years.

I didn't know that he had several hits. I only knew Right Here Waiting and Hazard.

I loved Hazard. I though it was so mysterious! I mean he said he left her by the railroad... what (duh, duh, DUHHH!) happened?

Dave Koz is family. I wonder if Richard has ever dipped?

R68, any gossip on The Cult?

r74, he always struck me as someone like Daryl Hall, genuinely bisexual with long term female relationships.

r72, I feel sorry for your friend. Simmons is a paranoid, money-obsessed control freak. Stanley is closeted, and the rest of them are on and off drugs.

R75 never met the Cult. Great band though.

[quote]he always struck me as someone like Daryl Hall, genuinely bisexual with long term female relationships.

Darryl Hall is bi? I always knew he and Oates had a thing going on! Any stories?

R74 Dave is family. But very quiet about his dating life. And I've known him for years. Very thoughtful guy. Always in a good mood.

r78 a couple of credible hook up stories about him were told here on the late, great gossip threads we used to have before the site was linked with Google search. One in NYC, and one in London, IIRC.

I've heard other rumours over the years, but nothing about being closeted. He was always portrayed as bi.

He left her by the river! He left her safe and sound! He swears!

BIG HAIR and tight jeans, that's Richard Marx. I saw him live once, and was amused at how much he curses during the talking portions between songs.

R68, what about the rumors about Bono and his wife having open relationship? Sting and his wife? any truth to it?

I interviewed Darryl Hall about ten years ago. Prerecorded for radio, no video. Another cool guy. Anyway, he was being very candid and started railing against the Grammy clique's in the biz. Sting and Barbra Streisand especially. Then he paused, thought about what he was saying and turned to me and said, "Can we take that part out?" I said, "Sure."

He sat next to me and performed acoustically and was amazing. I liked him a lot.

'Don't Mean Nothing' was a good song. The rest of his hits were sappy crap

NOT! Listen to "Too Late to Say Goodbye" or "Satisfied" and bask in how wrong you are!!

Yes! "Secretary music" is the perfect way to describe those bland vanilla pudding songs. Music to watch the clock by... elevator classics... meh music.

You don't know shit, R87.

Kurt Loder said the biggest asshole he ever interviewed was Richard Marx.

I just watched the music video "Angelia". I swear it looks like Harry Connick Jr. is in the video-plays a bit part in it.

Ever noticed how '80's music often had a sax solo in it?

Wow, he's aged in less than two years. He was on Hallmarks' "Home & Family" and he looked really good. He said then that Cynthia gave up show business and wouldn't do any reunions for "Dirty Dancing" because it was her past life. She just wanted to be a wife and mother. Let's see if she tries a comeback

[quote]Kurt Loder said the biggest asshole he ever interviewed was Richard Marx.

That's rich, coming from the biggest asshole who ever graced MTV.

Mark Steines is such a good looking man and he is aging very nicely too.

I wonder why he hasn't done more acting in his career? Most of the roles he has done have been a "reporter" of some sort. He seems to have a nice sense of humor and is very personable, I bet he would be a nice addition to a sitcom.

Cynthia was a replacement for the original co-lead singer for a group called "Animotion." It didn't last long.

She looks just like Lisa Kudrow in that first pic of them.

R83, both couples have open relationships. Both of the ladies enjoy women, as well.

R92, are you not aware of his huge impediment? I'm sure most people here know why, know his limitation.

I thought he was divorcing Leanza Cornett, r94, or are you talking about some other impediment?

Enlighten me.

R95, what are you talking about? Is it something secretive?

I've never heard of these people. Richard Marx maybe, but that was back in the olden days when I was young and uninterested in anything not attached to my dick.

Mark Steines has an ass as big as DL legend Anthony Recker's. Watch him on HOME & FAMILY and witness its voluptuous beauty.

As for Richard, I never got asshole vibes from him.

Here's a pic of Richard with Lionel Richie

Richard wrote that N'SYNC ballad "This I Promise You," which is one of their big hits. He's written a lot of songs for various artists.

I particularly love this track he co-wrote with David Foster for the ST. ELMO'S FIRE soundtrack called "If I Turn You Away"...

Steins has an ass as Anthony Recker, R98?

r100, I loved that N Sync song, loved when JC's voice would break at the romantic part.

[quote]Steins has an ass as Anthony Recker

Yes. The thing is HUGE.

R83 I met Sting backstage at one of his shows. He autographed my ticket stub. But I've never interviewed him.

I've seen Bono, as well.

But I don't know anything about either man's personal lives.

Sorry.

He was at a recent White House Correspondents' Dinner with Rick Springfield.

LOL! I know that I have better taste in music than you, r88.

He posted this pic on his FB page recently and, although he's straight, I totally got "boyfriend" vibes from it. It would be cool if he was exploring the other side, now that he's divorced and the kids are grown.

By "other side", do you mean incest, r107? Because that's his son.

Richard, is that you??

Richard Marx has the AIDS you know.

I've seen him in person at the gym and at a coffee shop and he looks sickly to me. It actually seems like body dysmorphia because he gets on the cardio equipment and goes to town - seems like anorexia.

r111

He even smiles with a lisp

Wow he looks so sickly. Hope the poor guy is ok.
