What you don't hear in the news

I watched a movie the other day with Kevin Bacon. I don't even remember the name of the movie. I am sure it was good, just not good enough to remember. I always like to watch the extra stuff, so I did. There was an interview with Kevin Bacon. I had my laptop out and was surfing the web while I was watching. So I was looking for a website for Kevin. What I found was much more interesting. You would never see this on the news, although I think it is much more worthy of news than some other celebrity news. Maybe I have lived in a box, and maybe I have a very secluded life. I don't think either is true, but some would not agree with me. I learned two things about Kevin Bacon that I never knew. And I was SHOCKED!!!! The first is that he is married to Kyra Sedgwick. If you don't know who she is, she plays the main character in "The Closer". Kyra and Kevin! As if this wasn't shocking enough, because I didn't know either was married, let alone to each other. They have been married for more than a year. I think we can agree that Mr. Bacon has been in Hollywood for quite a while. His filmography begins in 1978. By hollywood accounts a man in the business this long should have atleast 3 exwives and a string of women. So many times is it just the dating couple that is in the news. I am getting tired of standing in the line at WalMart and all I see in the news is yuck!!! Someone is cheating, someone is getting a divorce, someone is getting pregnant, someone is having some serious issue and it only gets worse because we publisize it so much. Not only are we publisizing it, but we are buying it and talking about it and telling everyone we know who is doing what wrong. It is a negative thought process. It is a shame that people in Hollywood would think that if they do something bad enough they will get the publicity that they need to get the job they want. Aren't we just rewarding their bad behavior? Let's reward the good behavior. My personal belief is that once you say "I do", that's it, you will. Marriage is for life. It's not just playing a game. If you don't want to be married forever don't do it. You need to be sure that is what you want. Do you want to wake up and look at that person everyday for the rest of your life. If you had to be stranded on a desert island for 50 years and could have only one person with you, would you choose that person? Once you are in, you are in for the long haul. I do not know what religious belief Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick practice, I am curious and would like to know, but have not found that info yet. Kevin and Kyra have been married for almost 20 years! Twenty years in Hollywood, married to the same person, that is truly amazing! Why is this not on the front page of the tabloids? It is good news, that is why. There are a number of couples in Hollywood that have been married for more than 10 years! I am shocked! I never knew! Wikipedia has a good list of long term Hollywood marriages. There are many more that are note worthy and may be discussed later. Kevin and Kyra have 2 children. They also have made the decision that they would not work on seperate movies at the same time. This allows them to spend time together, as a family. I am just in amazement of this information and think that couples who have been together for a long time in Hollywood should teach others how. They should also get the spotlight more. Congradulations to Kevin and Kyra for nearly 20 years of marriage in Hollywood! May there be many more!!!
