Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher call it quits

He's weird but hot. I would, in a second.

^ He will probably ask you to insert a finger in his asshole.

Now he can get with Rebel Wilson.

Sacha was revealed to have horrible breath on The View years ago.

The power of Rebel Wilson.

He's now free to fuck dudes as he was meant to all along.

I wonder if Isla is going to be a fair-weather Jew?

Filed in 2023, but I guess she's putting it out there now so that she doesn't have to answer about his alleged misconduct.

Shasha Baron Cohen.

Ilsha Fisser.

And to think she converted for him.

I'm surprised it lasted this long. He's talented but seems insufferable. I always thought she was way too pretty for him.

I don't know, I think he's pretty hot.

R3 She's gay now. Haven't you heard?

I love when a divorce is breaking entertainment news yet I never knew they were ever together. In other words, who gives a fuck?

Will Isla be able to use the "finger in the stinker" argument to claim the kids, is the real question.

Friday news dump so that the news has faded by Monday. Probably expedited by all the recent bad press Sacha has had, with the Rebel Wilson allegations, etc.

Now he can go vacation and chase younger women with his also-newly divorced pal Noel Gallagher and Bono (not divorced but might as well be).

R16 "Bono (not divorced but might as well be)"

What does that mean?

Here at 3:20 he asks Hurricane Bonham Carter to put her finger in his stinker, and all she did was rub his groin a bit after losing her balance. The man is a sex pest!

Bono had a long history of an open marriage with Ali, although in recent years they both seem to have mellowed with age and perhaps calmed down in that area.

R19 How do you know?

Now that his collapse is complete, I hope Rebel picks a whole new celeb to feud with. I just love the ridiculous drama she brings into our lives.

Well, r20, for one thing I've been on DL for 15+ years. It's been gossiped about here many times before, on several Gossip threads. And several other places on the internet. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

Either way, Bono and Ali aren't the faithful Born-Again Christians they've at times promoted themselves to be.

Lol r22, internet gossip, especially on DL, is not "smoke" and doesn't indicate any fire.

R18, they're both messing about there. That's called "British humour", which involves lots of bum and fart jokes.

Admittedly, Sacha Baron Cohen is another one whose fame and acclaim I never quite understood. He's a lot like Russell Brand in that respect, although I don't think he's as creepy.

He's considerably more talented than Brand, R24.

How does this matter to anyone?

R24 Russell Brand is neither funny nor talented

R22 So who are some of the people they hooked up with? Anyone famous?

Bono was a hound dog, that was talked about here and in the music and fashion industry for years. Christy Turlington was one of his longtime "special friends". Many in 90s NYC knew this.

Not sure how you could be the biggest rock star of the moment and not fuck around. It seems like it's almost an obligation.

R29 beat me to it, re Turlington and Bono. Ali was rumored to have had her way with other fashion players from that same clique (female). Helena Christensen was mentioned, obviously not confirmed.

Early-days DL (not the current iteration) of the early-mid 2000s had many LA and NYC insiders who used to post here. There was actually a lot of very good dish, a lot of which later turned out to be true or confirmed.

R31 his wife is a lesbian?

Sacha is one of the last true comic geniuses we have left.

This clip is unbelievable.

Isla? Oh yes. The carbon copy you read when you can't find the original.

R34 LOL....my friend used to call her Isla Isn't.

As in, Isn't Amy Adams.

Yes, Sacha is more talented than Russell Brand, but both are hugely overrated and seemed to explode at around the same time.

R31, I've been on DL long enough (so many wasted years...) to remember when almost everyone was insisting that Albert of Monaco was gay and people knew this was 100% true from "insiders".

I had a boyfriend in the early 90s who was very close to a family with a woman who was Bono’s special friend. I met her once, and she was too cool for everyone. Also very Catholic, but obviously in a Bono way.

Bono came to my village but we were forced to sign NDAs.

In truth, as we cannot write, our acceptance of rations was deemed enforceable in court.

Andrea Corr was another Bono long-time "special friend".

I still remember hearing that Ali G was dating Isla Fisher and thinking what a random pairing they made. Strange how these things stick in your mind 20+ years later.

What does he do? Is he even starring in anything any more? Why is he always being mentioned here?

By the time they got married, they'd been together for nine years, engaged for six, and she was heavily pregnant with their second child. With that in mind, I'm surprised the marriage lasted as long as it did.

So cute of Bono to stay married to the same woman for several decades just so he can be a beard for her.

I loved Ali G when he trolled the shit out of ernest Americans (as he did with Borat). To be fair, it was easy af…

Borat is genius. Raunchy and hilarious.

R45 here: **earnest**

Incidentally, I've always despised the way Bono mispronounces his stage name.

'Bah-no'?

R40 According to LChat, she is gay?

Does Bono have the Irish curse.

Consider the source, R49.

What’s his beef with Rebel? I wasn’t paying attention to this story before. Did he sexually harass her?

[quote]Incidentally, I've always despised the way Bono mispronounces his stage name.

It's supposed to be from Latin, isn't it? "Bono Vox" for "good voice," the modest creature that he is.

He asked me to insert my finger into his asshole.

Huh...and they said it wouldn't last. Little did they know.

R51 Consider the source of "Bono and his wife have an open marriage and Andrea Corr was another one of his long-time "special friends"" Exactly, not much better.

I live in Ireland, and Bono and Andrea Corr being long-ago coke buddies/fuck buddies was pretty well known back then

R57 Sure it was

The Irish celebrity world is very, very small, R58. But believe (or don't believe) what you like.

The poster defending Bono's marital fidelity sounds a bit like the earnest and excessively passionate Danny Elfman superfan we previously traumatized.

I assume "In a Little While" was written about Corr, though Bono has claimed its age difference lyrics are a reference to Ali (who is only a few months his junior). The Spanish eyes reference is neutral since either woman fit the bill.

Why is Bono hijacking this thread?

[QUOTE]they'd been together for nine years, engaged for six,

They've been together since she was 18? That's an awfully long time.

Are you part of the Irish celebrity world, r59?

So, r60, Bono was so into the Corr sister that he wrote a song for her yet he has remained married to lesbian Ali since he was 16 for what reason exactly?

Some rock stars stay married while fucking around. Roger Daltrey did, His wife stayed home and took care of the kids while he was off fucking around for decades. She was perfectly fine with that. She got the mansion, the private schools for the kids, 1st class travel, nannies, other servants. He said he told her he was not going to pass up sleeping with as many women as possible and she said ok.

All of the Beatles cheated on their wives except Paul (though he definitely cheated on Jane Asher). Olivia Harrison and Pattie Boyd both said they were aware George was cheating on them. Like Daltrey’s wife, they figured it was a fair trade for being married to one of the world’s most famous musicians. I saw interviews with both women (separately) where they both said yes, George told them he was going to cheat and they were ok with it as long as they got to be his wife.

R60 Couldn't care less about that walking talking douche that calls himself Bono nor about his marital fidelity. I was just replying to that poster who said that rumors on LChat are just that, crazy rumors, that DL isn't any better

Any evidence that Ali Hewson thinks in the same way as those much older women who grew up in a different era, r65?

r67 she's married to BONO ffs, one of the biggest and most egotistical blowhards in rock music in the past 40 years. She's had to put up with a lot more than occasional infidelity in that situation. You think she's much different from rock wives who came before her?

Bono and Ali were teen sweethearts, she supported him when he was nobody and flat broke, she supported him in the early stressful days of U2. They've been married for ages, have multiple kids, a massive fortune, multiple homes. He seems to treat her well (besides being a blowhard) and credits her for a lot of his success. Why not stay married and tolerate what is actually common amongst their social set?

Bono is supposedly hung like a hamster so she probably doesn’t care if he cheats.

r67 - Honestly, are you so naive?

So, no evidence, just assumptions.

DL keeps telling me that Ali is a lesbian, r69, so why should she care about that?

Sacha and Isla have been living in Aussie. Isla might just fade away for awhile...letting the press and Rebel have their pound of flesh.

[quote]Sacha and Isla have been living in Aussie.

Seriously? So this Rebel/Sacha feud was intracontinental in nature? That is wild to me. All this time I imagined Rebel launching her missiles from across the Pacific into Santa Monica, lmao.

Sacha was raised Orthodox and although he is not overly devout in many ways, he wanted a traditional housewife. Isla shelved her very promising career for him and probably got tired of his controlling ways. It’s likely that simple.

[quote] Isla shelved her very promising career for him

Fisher has worked consistently over the last 20 years - she has more acting credits than SBC. She's nearly 50 and has 3 kids.

Isla has joined the conversation.

Don’t be pedantic R75. She was poised to be a huge A-list star after WEDDING CRASHERS, had a couple of good lead roles but then she went right back to doing small parts in things that wouldn’t take her away from the family for long. It was pretty obvious.

Oh FFS. She did well in a small role in a comedy filmed when she was nearly 30.

Name 3 roles in films between 2005 and 2010 that would have made this huge A-list star.

He never seemed heterosexual to me.

I can't believe Bruno was out in 2009. Jesus I'm getting old.
