Mark Ronson engaged to M's daughter Grace Gummer

Oh my word....will Mamie be Maid of Honor?

Always marry for money! Good job

What is he wearing? It looks like a maternity dress.

[R2], who's marrying for the money? Mark or Grace?

Damn, from Rashida Jones to...

Oh my god, it's like Meryl split her eggs in two and conceived children without a sperm donor. The exact resemblance is utterly creepy at R1.

Isn't gummer a word for a blow job from someone who's had his teeth removed?

She clearly had the good sense not to burst out laughing when he appeared in that caftan-like sweater thing.

I'm thinking it was a test he gave her to see how she'd react.

(No, not really.)

his top is very peculiar as is he

Just think. She and Lindsay Lohan could've been SISTAHS!

Sort of.

I prefer my men a little bit gay. I'm like Mummy that way.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Now, a wedding?

This is hilarious.

Where are they registered?

So what. Maybe they actually, you know, LOVE each other.

I can't take this news at lunch, it's devastating and heartbreaking. Too much, too much!

I thought he was gay!!!

I still don’t understand who Mark Ronson is. Isn’t there another Ronson dude?

[quote] Isn’t there another Ronson dude?

Are you thinking of Ron Popeil’s Ronson Food-a-matic? Brought to you by Ronco?

[quote]I still don’t understand who Mark Ronson is. Isn’t there another Ronson dude?

You may be thinking of his butch DJ sister, Sam, who briefly dated Lindsay Lohan. Mark is a music producer famous for his collaborations with other artists like Amy Winehouse, Adele, Gaga, Robbie Williams, etc. His biggest hit was "Uptown Funk" with Bruno Mars.

Ronson is a Nice Jewish Boy from the Upper West Side who is trying to be a hipster.

Is he one of *THE* Ronsons?

[quote] You may be thinking of his butch DJ sister, Sam, who briefly dated Lindsay Lohan.

Yep, that’s it. Thank you. I kept seeing the name Sam and thinking it was a dude.

Mark is actually very well known in the music world, far better known than, say Grace is in acting world (Meryl notwithstanding):

[quote]Mark Daniel Ronson (born 4 September 1975) is a British-American musician, DJ, songwriter, record producer, and record executive. He is best known for his collaborations with artists such as Amy Winehouse, Adele, Lady Gaga, Lily Allen, Robbie Williams, Miley Cyrus, Queens of the Stone Age, and Bruno Mars. He has received seven Grammy Awards, including Producer of the Year for Winehouse's album Back to Black and two for Record of the Year singles "Rehab" and "Uptown Funk". He received an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Grammy Award for co-writing the song "Shallow" (performed by Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper) for the film A Star is Born (2018).

In the show biz food chain, I'd regard this as a big step up for her rather than him. And he and his family are worth a fortune.

M and Grace and Mamie are a classic example of the 'it' phenomenon: three people who look essentially identical and yet, only one is entirely watchable and appealing.

[quote] Ronson is a Nice Jewish Boy from the Upper West Side who is trying to be a hipster.

In the 1990s Mark Ronson was trying to be a wigger so this may be an improvement

It's a shame M's daughters ended up with her nose

Isn't he a coked -up werewolf, though? I recall a photo of him bringing a crying Lily Allen home the next day.

Ronson's more of a weed guy, R29:

[quote]On 20 August 2019, Ronson, along with several other celebrities, invested in a funding round for Lowell Herb Co, a California cannabis brand. He is known to be "a dedicated cannabis consumer".

Does this mean Grace is a stoner, too?

These girls have never heard of rhinoplasty??

Well the noses are suspiciously narrow.

He got the attractive one.

He was married to a very pretty French actress or model for a bit.

A musician. That will last. Better than Billy Crudup her previous boyfriend I guess. Oh well. Strange my son is in his forties and never married.

Without those Meryl noses, sadly, their faces would have no distinction at all.

Young Meryl really brought something unique and luminous to the camera. Neither Grace nor Mamie has IT.

They need to stop trying to make these Gummer girls happen. It’s the same the Willis sisters, or Alexa Ray Joel, or Willow Smith. They DON’T have it.

M/r35, you are conveniently forgetting the Straithairn boy. That lasted 6 months?

Oh yes. I forgot that one. Mamie's first marriage bombed out too. I'm almost as upset about this as I am about Frances' third Best Actress Oscar.

Meryl's unfortunate nose appears to be a dominant feature in that family. The can all poke and peck you with it rom the other side of the street.

OP gets a WW for reference to Arrested Development.

Imagine how many nominations I could have now if I hadn't wasted all those years giving birth.

I don't know much of anything about M's daughter, but I have a good feeling about them, they look happy, comfortable with each other, and it makes sense Ronson would settle down with someone who comes from an upper class background like he does.

her last marriage lasted 6 months....she clearly has issues

It's funny to me how Meryl was a beauty at her daughters' ages with her nose, and yet it doesn't work at all on their daughters.

I don't see why they don;' get their noses [italic]slightly[/italic] fixed--not the full Jennifer Grey treatment so as to get patently fake button noses, but enough so that you still know they're Meryl Streep's daughters. Keep the length, but just get rid of the unsightly hook at the end.

they don't feel the need to surgically alter themselves to appease the plebs, r45!

Because their dad is nothing to write home about. For r45.

the third daughter is the prettiest. She doesn't have the nose.

Oh what an unfortunate looking pair. God you can see the gay face on him for miles. He is in a pastel sweater dress/coat. Is she nuts?

I thought he was gay. I read an interview a couple of years ago. He was talking about being on vacation in Greece with a bunch of A list movie stars - Hanks, McConaughey and Madonna's agent - the Israeli guy who seems to always be in the thick of things. He talked about skinny dipping with McConaughey and seemed to be more than smitting.

he went to Vassar....likes girly things I guess.

Holy shit. She's 35? She looks 45

I wanted to go method and feed her to a dingo but her father objected

Here's their love nest . . .

I cant believe he's not gay.

Maybe he's one of those guys who is too gay to actually be gay.

The Straithain guy is disappointing looking. I’ve always thought his father was pretty sexy, it’s a shame his son doesn’t look anything like him.

Billy Crudup, now Mark Ronson.....she likes older men. Daddy issues?

Well her mother did spend much of the 80s fuxking Jack Nicholson

he's not gay he's just a certain kind Englishman

I've never thought he's gay. He seems very British and is a bit of a dandy but in a masculine way. It's like he's from the swinging sixties. He's probably not totally straight but who is.

Meryl Streep has 4 kids? How did she manage that and have a stellar career and intact marriage? She's like a superwoman.

R18 He still very well may be gay, considering the family he's marrying into. A lot of gay men would make that sacrifice to have Meryl Fucking Streep as their mother-in-law. I wouldn't, but a lot would.

Oh, the length some people will go just to gain access to me...

I imagine Meryl's new standard for her children's potential spouses now requires at least one Academy Award. Ronson has that, along with a Golden Globe, and seven Grammys (among others).

Euro Guy, you reminded me of a short exchange between Craig Ferguson and Michael Caine regarding Cain's 60s look (starts around 20:30) - it's funny how self conscious people can be

Maybe because that marriage is an open one, R61.

Tay Strathairn isn't bad looking when he cleans up, but I don't know how often that happens. Most of the time I see photos of him looking downright unkempt with long stringy hair. I have a feeling he's something of a mess.

His father had a low key sexiness I always found appealing.

Is it funny how for decades Meryl acted like losing 21 Oscars was like some honourable achievement. I wonder how she feels now that Fran is 3/3 in the Best Actress category?

Hopefully like a shit sandwich. With lots of ham in it.

Frances McDormand has certainly bested Meryl in the Best Dowdy, Rapidly Aging Serious Actress Utterly Unconcerned With Her Appearance category, at least.

R68: They’ll give me another Oscar in lead before I die. I’ll be back my pretties. So shut up Fran and accept my dominion over you.

I know a guy who swears on his mother's life that he had a 3way with Mark Ronson and another guy in LA. This would have been about 15 years ago.

R70: Weinstein is done and so are your filler nominations. Enjoy the wedding!

I don’t agree with you R69 but I admire your spirit. I’m sure Conjuring 4 will be all about you.

M's third daughter goes be the professional name Louisa Jacobson (Jacobson is her middle name.) She is in the TV series "The Gilded Age" by the author of Downton Abbey which is to be available sometime in 2021.

He’s gay.

Money talks and bullshit walks.....let's marry my little brother......

She has oatmeal face.

She has a forest of hair falling everywhere.

She would look utterly different when this dopey dangling tendrils fad finally goes away. She will look like an axe.

He did go to Vassar...

But he seems more sort of nerdy than gay.

[quote]They need to stop trying to make these Gummer girls happen. It’s the same the Willis sisters, or Alexa Ray Joel, or Willow Smith. They DON’T have it.

I do have IT -- but no one wants it.

Meryl’s daughters are so extremely unattractive and untalented. I resent Meryl for forcing them on the world. She’s worst than Lisa Rinna.

[quote] She’s worst than Lisa Rinna.

Oh, DEAR.

R79 He didn't graduate from Vassar though, he graduated from NYU

Louisa is the prettiest of her daughters--she doesn't have the hooked nose.

but he went to Vassar first. I got brochures from Vassar but didn't consider it because I thought a former all girls school would make it seem like I was gay. (and I wasn't ready to come out at 18.) I'm his age too so the reputation was probably the same.

He seems either massively hungover or half drunk in R54's video.

I get a strong gay vibe from him.

He was married to a French model and the marriage fizzled. Couldn't satisfy her in bed under the Judy Garland poster?

I’m the one who went to Vassar!!

He was much cuter 10 years ago,yet he really looks the same basically. I wonder why that happens to some men? They can look exactly like they did at 35 but at 45 are ugly as sin. She is the prettiest of the Gummers,I'll give her that.

Wasn't he with Rashida Jones for a while too?

Noah Baumbach went to Vassar...

I saw Meryl's son in a play in LA many years ago. He's kind of cute.

Sasha Velour went to Vassar.

.....

I assume this Mark Ronson is of the faith.

This will end in tears, sigh...

Looks like he has a tight bod. I want to see his nudes.

He looks like he smells like sour milk.

I love his song "Stop Me".

[quote]Meryl’s daughters are so extremely unattractive and untalented. I resent Meryl for forcing them on the world. She’s worst than Lisa Rinna.

This is one reason to respect Madonna. She KNOWS her bio kids are talentless fugs, and doesn't encourage them to do anything.

I bet this axe-headed woman is glad she finally has a legitimate reason to drop her grossly unappealing surname.

R55 Nobody thought Mark Ronson was gay except for the old queens here--as usual. He's had several public relationships and been married.

Is his voice the male version of vocal fry? Or, perhaps, residual Englishness?

I would like to point out that Tilda Swinton’s daughter, Honor Swinton Byrne, is very good in Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir (Executive Produced by Martin Scorsese) and The Souvenir Part II set to premiere at Cannes this year (out of competition, I believe).

So, suck it, Meryl.

Plenty of people in the industry gossip about Ronson's sexuality. You type like a cleaner.

The same could be said for John Travolta, Tom Cruise and Taylor Swift after all.

I thought he was gay, too.

His accent is odd.

I always just assumed he was at least bi myself.

R71, what did he say happened?

I love his Los Feliz house! It's exactly the kind of house I'd want to own if I lived in L.A.

Some of his taste is a little adolescent, but I like the color and energy.

It's obvious the bride-to-be has some sort of "understanding" with the homo groom-to-be.

I got the same sense, R110, kind of teen try hard to be hip. Odd for a wealthy kid from his background.

I knew a guy who went to Vassar, he and his wife, who also went to Vassar were both bi.

The house is lovely, the framed Judy poster was a bit over the top, camp wise.

Love the house and except for his too-blue, crushed velour bedroom, it can all stay. He seems to appreciate being able to live there and his life.

R105 Plenty of people? SURE. You type like a DL'er.

Jewish men can be ambiguous.

This one has his own money? You have my full blessing!

I checked out his Instagram. Miley Cyrus is his BFF. Meryl’s ugly daughter should think twice about this one.

His accent sounds like Judy Garland.

R103

.....

R121, A Travilla original?

She was okay at her acting role in the TV Series Mr Robot. That's the only film or tv series that I've seen her in when she was okay at acting. I seriously never knew that she was Meryl Streep's daughter though.

Mark is pathetic and friends with Miley Pansexual Tuna Can Cyrus and we all know her and Mark have had sex.

I know people who went to college with Grace and she's a pretentious cunt. Awfully confident for being so ugly!

It won't last. He seems not straight, is way older and has an arrested development / Peter Pan vibe. His house has a lot of cool teen type stuff. He is a legit hipster type but still seems insecure. But, he has money. They will have a few kids, quickly and end it.

Helen Hunt + Meryl Streep _ Mamie and Grace

It's just never going to work out for Meryl's girls, is it?

His accent is fine!

That thing he's wearing looks like some garment from an insane asylum.

They got married

His accent?

Powder blue ribbed maxi cardigan?

I thought the Gummer girl was a blonde. What happened?

Is he wearing a yarmulke?

Yes, r133. I imagine that's a chuppah behind them. Did Sophie's daughter choose to convert?

He worked out "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart" for MC around 2018 and the song makes her sound mature.

He pops up on a lot of my music -Kygo and David Guetta type collaborations.

Won't last 5 years.

He used to be kind of sexy. WHET to his lezzie hipster sister by the way?

It stuns me how much you queens know about the romantic lives of an Oscar winner's children.

Don't eldergays do anything besides smoke Parliaments, read trashy gossip magazines, and croak "Dump him, Gracie. He's a BUM!"

[quote]I thought the Gummer girl was a blonde. What happened?

You may be thinking of her sister Mamie.

She was too young to marry a divorced, not quite straight, Peter Pan. Young enough and pretty enough that she could have found someone with better odds of it working over the long term. Is she a dyke? That would explain a lot if yes.

She's 35. If she wants kids she better get to moving.

He moved.

His half-sister is Annabelle Dexter-Jones, who plays wealthy drug addict Naomi Pierce on Succession.

Can't find the exact one but the coat has to be Issey Miyake. Not his best moment but points for adventurousness.

It was a nice house, if very teen boy try hard in some of his décor. Should have rented it, this marriage will not last.

What is Sam doing for money these days?

She was married before for 42 days? Is she as batshit as Britney? I get he does not seem entirely straight and has a Peter Pan vibe but what is her deal?

[quote]She was married before for 42 days?

She deserves a medal for being married to this (son of David Straithairn) for 42 days.

So what is her deal? Was she drug buddies with that dude? Has to be some story there.

R147, What woman wouldn't want him to be the father of her children?

Tay Strathairn is only 40, but he looks 50 and has the mouth of a rusty choo-choo train.

Do idiot folk musicians do meth? He's like Beck's Ohio cousin. Even has a stupid hat for every concert.

I have a friend who went to Vassar with Grace (she also went there) and said she was a nasty snotty bitch. Ran around with a couple other nasty rich girls and one gay guy. Never associated with anyone else.

Another friend went to northwestern with Mamie and said the opposite - Mamie was very sweet, down to earth and well-liked. This friend was a theater nerd from high school and said she was surprised how normal and kind Mamie was.

In the YouTube video at R54, you can see that he's wearing a thong when he leans over the piano at 1:56. A thong!

It's always romantic when a GAY MAN meets the woman of this dreams. And she is stupid enough to not care.

meh. He's precisely the hetero sleazy jet set music-clubby scenester who wears thongs.

R29 What's a cocked-up werewolf?

R152 I believe he’s miked up and that’s the transistor.

It’s a combo of a shadow in the small of his back and the microphone transistor.

Really? Him?

[quote]Did Sophie's daughter choose to convert?

I'm sure it was a condition of the marriage that Grace convert to Judaism, especially if they're planning on children.

Mark is from a wealthy and powerful family of Conservative Jews in the UK (real estate management). He wouldn't be the first aging show biz hipster who is surprisingly serious about his religious roots.

well...she makes good decisions.

[quote] On July 10, 2019, Gummer married musician Tay Strathairn, the son of actor David Strathairn. The couple separated on August 21, 2019, after 42 days of marriage. Gummer filed for divorce on March 23, 2020, in Los Angeles, and the divorce was finalized in August 2020. She married Mark Ronson in 2021 after several months of dating.

M, dear, if she divorces again, don't pay for Wedding #3

Remind me which one is the dyke…

Mark also attended Vassar. Must be one of the MANY things they have in common.

3-5 years, tops

He does not have a look that will age well. Good thing he has and makes $$$.

What is Sam up to? She the family dealer?

[quote] Some of his taste is a little adolescent

My home would make you weep.

G, dear, at least the Ronson home contains an Oscar.

Looking at her I thought she has a good taste. Apparently not. A soft pop/white man funk "musician"? Barf

Look at the thing she was married to before. Ronson would be a HUGE trade up from that creature missing a tooth.

Are his religious beliefs the reason why he's still closeted?

Tay Strathairn looked better in his small role in Nomadland.

R168, Not really.

Agree, R169. R168 are you high for the holiday?

I really like his music.

His song with Yebba should've been a bigger hit.

I always liked Grace Gummer. She, especially based on her roles, doesn't seem to take herself too seriously.

From playing a lesbian FBI Agent on Mr. Robot to a woman without legs in that Halle Berry short lived sci-fi series and the tattooed woman on American Horror Story (I think she was on another season as a witch as well) she sort of seems to do anything she thinks is interesting. Mamie has always kept it a bit more serious.

R172 that's very glamorous sounding but I feel like it's derivative of lots that I have heard earlier.

Will we get to see the unflattering frock the mother of the bride chose for the occasion?

So is everything else r174

Isn't she rumored to be a closeted lez?

R171 Why?

r178 it's good, it has rhythm and it's well-produced. Mark Ronson's stuff is miles above a lot of other current music. I love the remake of The Smiths' Stop Me with Daniel Merriweather.

He was Amy Winehouse's drug supplier. This will end in tears. He's a trainwreck just like his dirtbag sister.

He was not supplying drugs to anyone.

Didn't Amy's POS boyfriend supply drugs to her?

Isn't Mark Ronson, like...a DJ?

What the hell does that guy do for walking-around money?

He's a producer and a songwriter r183. He's loaded.

R183, he also has family money

Thought it was rich family. But all can be true. Drug dealer, song writer, producer, rich family, grifter marrying ageing out homely failed nepotism actress daughter of rich mommy actress..Many things can exist at the same time.

R179 Ugh

^^the song isn't your taste but it's still a well-produced song. It was huge in gay circles when it came out.

He’s hot, she’s not, but her family is Hollywood royalty and her inheritance will be insane.

Bet you that Mark is gonna make Grace a pop star!

Meryl and Mamie did RICKI AND THE FLASH. Now it's Grace's turn.

Oh wait. Is he the Brit with the kooky idiosyncratic house with lots of LPs and turntables? I kind of liked him from that.

[quote] A soft pop/white man funk "musician"?

Yet he's managed to play it into the middle of the mainstream. That song is one of the best selling singles of all time.

R192 How does that makes it any less of garbage? Most mainstream music and beat selling singles are shit.

[quote] How does that makes it any less of garbage?

I don't know.. he cracked the code. Is that mediocrity over magic? I like Shallow.

I like Ronson's music. I still have Ooh Wee on rotation after all these years. His music is very funky.

[quote] He was not supplying drugs to anyone.

Oh, please. He was passing her baggies. The two were high as a kite.

He is so not hot. Get some glasses.

R197, Would you agree to lukewarm?

Louisa doesn’t have the signature Streep Honker but Grace seems warmer and a touch prettier. I liked her in The Newsroom - terribly show - and she’s a decent jobbing actress if not overburdened with charisma.

The song Uptown Funk Ronson did with Bruno Mars was so hot for several months that it was making $100,000 a day streaming. The live version they did on SNL was insane. He is extremely successful.

It's weird to me that many Dlers are too old to know who Mark Ronson is, and Ronson himself is fucking 45 years old! Crazy how old this board skews.

I don't think younger guys would be as familiar with him. Outside of UF his work is a bit niche and they would not remember Winehouse. I am studiously avoiding his work with Miley.

He's got Judy on his wall and Gaga on his mantle.

I mean.

r202 he's been producing lots of current music.

R203, I noticed that too.

[quote] It's weird to me that many Dlers are too old to know who Mark Ronson is

While age is an issue here, it's also cultural not-keeping-up-ery. Uptown Funk was inescapable

Hot guy - handsome woman. Thatis an insult to her in case you are dense.

Good timing, he is on the cusp of looking like an OLD in the wedding photos.

How long do with give it?

They look like an old school 'lavender' marriage.

Indeed, R209.

Huge penis.

I never heard this Uptown funk song everyone is talking about. Just by the name itself, I can tell it is crap.

R199 I never watched The Newsroom but I see it's ranked at number 144 on IMDb's list of best shows ever. Is it really that terrible?

I'm not r199, and I liked The Newsroom a lot, r213.

It's where I first encountered "Mulaney sidepiece" Olivia Munn. It also starred Jeff Daniels, John Gallagher, Jr., Thomas Sadowski, and Dev Patel. I'm an Aaron Sorkin fan, however, so I love self-important characters who talk a lot.

The cast of THE NEWSROOM was interesting and impressive.

THE NEWSROOM was not. It's pretentious and often pointless. (It also made me hate Jeff Daniels, which is too bad.) I only vaguely remember Grace Gummer being on it. I don't think they gave her that much to do.

She was one of the less offensively awful performers in the Newsroom. It is a list of 3: Thomas Sadowski, Grace Gummer and, surprisingly, Olivia Munn.

I will never forget Peabody winning foreign correspondent Emily Mortimer have a nervous breakdown at work because she didn’t know how to send an email. Or Alison Pill screaming at a Sex And The City tour bus because the show made her feel like she had to have female friends who meet for Sunday brunch, and a successful sex life, or something. Or Marcia Gay Harden striding into a Christmas party announcing she is “liquid sex”.

I can't help it, I find him dashing. The Architectural Digest video does not feel like we're looking at the home of a straight man.

It sure did NOT, R217. Seemed to have a Peter Pan quality too, like what he thought was cool when he was a teen had not changed in 30 years despite becoming a rather "gold star hipster" in the meantime.

Arrested development? Possible. It didn't feel unusual a musician has souvenirs of their career. What was it lacking?

Lacking? Openness @ his sexuality perhaps?

Maybe he's bi and it's not worth waving a flag about. I'd worry if career pressure was a problem.

The British are known for discretion. I don't know, this could be a Hollywood thing. I'm not in a position to know but if he is gay it'd be frustrating to have to marry Meryl Streep relations. Wouldn't it?

Not very frustrating but not completely self actualizing rather.

A year or two ago Ronson went public defining himself as "a sapiosexual." I forget if anyone linked to that upthread.

noun: a person who finds intelligence sexually attractive or arousing. "I'm a sapiosexual and I like to talk"

"Sapiosexual" had its 15 minutes of fame, as many bisexual or closeted people were embracing the term. (Perhaps some people still are.) So it's not about preferring some genitals over others, but brain cells! Praiseworthy, indeed.

I haven't heard about Ronson describing himself that way since. Does this mean he and Grace like to complete the Sunday Times crossword in bed?

How do we get rid of her!

He walked it back. And said he's straight. That's cool. Best of luck to the happy couple.

Now THERE is an image, R224. Not hot.

R 226 What a wuss..scared M might not put enough gravy in that ladle, huh? Better play nice straight boy, at least for the cameras. Might effect M.'s image. How humiliating for a man. to grovel like that. So many guys lately willing to have some woman stick their balls in her handbag.

This looks good!

R228 that was two years ago when he was either married or just divorcing his French wife.

So, the French wife deballed him? Or was it M.?

What are the odds of the marriage lasting 5 years or more? All the best to the happy couple.

I can't help but think Grace is merely looking for a wealthy and connected sperm donor.

I think Ronson is looking for hetero credibility and perhaps an heir as well. You can't take it with you.

She'll get pregnant ASAP, and they'll divorce amicably by the time the kid's a toddler. That's Hollywood, kids.

Is there any photographic proof that Meryl was even at the wedding?

Agree, R233, although I think there may be 2 kids. Hope the arrangement works well for all of them.

What sort of ugly sack and clunky beads did Meryl wear to this wedding?

Many of you are pathetic. A gay or bi DJ/Producer/Musician has zero need for beading and roleplaying. Also I highly doubt there have been many closeted male graduates of Vassar of all places.

I love him, and he's been my dream boyfriend for more than a decade.

But if he were actually gay or bi, he'd be out.

And he'd be a big messy slut with messy model twinks, and DL would hate him.

Yes, why would Mark Ronson need to be closeted? If he were gay it wouldn't affect his career at all. He's not marketed as a sex symbol who appeals to women.

R237, he actually did not graduate from Vassar, only attended. I do know a straight guy who graduated, I'm still on the fence re: Ronson, that Judy poster man, hard to overlook.

Have any photos of the wedding leaked or been published or just his one post?

[quote] Yes, why would Mark Ronson need to be closeted?

I think you're probably right. It is 2021 after all.

fellow mo Rufus wishes them well

He's dreamy.

Rufus, R244?

Both?

I think Mark will hit the wall looks wise, Brits always do, but he has a few more years left. Dreamy it is, R246. He also has some good tunes. Wonder where the Judy poster ended up? His old house had some lovely tile work, wonder if the new place will end up in AD? All the best to the lovely couple.

So a sapiosexual is attracted to the mind and intelligence of the person and not their gender. Hmmm. Sort of explains why he married a Gummer girl.

It wasn't for the looks that's for sure.

So this is 2 marriages for Mamie, 2 for Grace and zero for the boy whose the oldest. Is he one of us?

[quote]I think Mark will hit the wall looks wise, Brits always do,

He's Ashkenazi Jewish

Meryl's 2 daughters have more marriages than she has Oscars. (snicker)

Which will have #3 first?

R248, I've wondered about that too.

BTW, Tay Strathairn and Henry Wolfe (Streep's son) have played music together and wrote & played the end credits song for JULIA & JULIA. Wonder if they're still friendly after all this with Grace Gummer. I'd love to find out why the marriage ended so quickly and why she married him in the first place.

BTW, while I'm not sure about Wolfe, I don't think Strathairn is gay. I saw some interviews when he was still with the band Dawes, and there was zero gay vibe.

He's aging beautifully and he has a moving story about 9/11 today.

If you are not his PR, R253, might be a viable career path for you.

Grace Gummer also dated Billy Crudup for a while.

and Mamie's first husband seemed like a real social climber (and or gay) who wanted to be near Meryl.

Poor Meryl. She tried to keep her kids out of the limelight their entire youth yet they all were seduced by show biz and or odd relationships.

Shelley Winters was also so proud her daughter became a doctor and not an actress.

Some kids of big stars go into careers totally separate from show business. I imagine it's because they grew up around all the insanity in show business, which can be soul-crushing, and just wanted a "normal" life. Good for them.

This will end in tears!

Lol, R257, nah, probably just with another relocation of the Judy poster.

R258 It's obligatory for DL to predict the doom of every relationship.

He comes from a divorced family of origin and they have each been divorced, the odds are not great, R259. Plus the Judy poster that he CHOSE to share with the world via AD.

I have a Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall poster on a wall in my apartment.

Does that automatically make me gay?

The youngest of Streep's children wanted nothing to do with acting and M used to joke that she has a 'real job"

BUT she changed her mind. Went to Yale Drama. (I wonder how she got in? Her audition must have been perfect lol.)

But now doesn't go by either Streep or Gummer for her stage name. I think she uses Jacobson.

Ah yes, THAT will fool everyone into hiring her for her innate shining talent, R262.

That's Louisa Jacobson on the right.

She's not the Mini-Mes that Mamie and Grace are, but she still resembles her mom.

Perhaps a bit of rhinoplasty in her future?

My children all got real jobs and seem very well balanced. Odd since I've been drunk since 1989.

R261, that and your posting on a gay gossip board, hmmm...

you're

still on first cup of coffee

Wasn't Mamie's first husband the actor Benjamin Walker? He's kinda hot but hasn't really "caught on." His biggest splash was on Broadway in "Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson". After marrying Gummer, he got the lead in "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," which was a major flop. He's been in small supporting roles ever since.

Guess being Streep's son-in-law wasn't all that helpful.

None of Meryl's kids should've gone into acting, they all should've become attorneys or something.

R268, He also starred on Broadway in American Psycho.

Oh, my!

Thanks to the Datalounger here who mentioned “Ooh wee”. It’s now my new favorite.

I don't know what went down between Mamie Gummer and ex-hubby, Benjamin Walker, but I suspect it was an ugly split. They were married for less than 2 years. Walker has since remarried.

I don't necessarily blame Meryl, but Walker's career has never fully recovered since the divorce. He's gone from headlining new Bway musicals and movies to mostly minor roles on TV.

Well, those projects weren't box office hits. Who do you think he is? Zac Efron?

Does anyone honestly believe Meryl Streep has the power to sabotage someone's career?

Believe?! I know!

They all need nose jobs. seriously.

Sophie von H. you have a beautiful name.

That's the only beautiful thing you have, dear.

Benjamin Walker is one of those actors who can be fine onstage, but doesn't have a strong screen presence. So it was unlikely he was going to have a major film star career, Gummer or no Gummer.
