Why DId Kelly Preston-Travola Dump Charlie Sheen?

[elehhhhna]

She then moved in with George Clooney in time for the release of Twins, a big film that was expected to revitalize her career. It didn't, whereupon Clooney left her for an old girlfriend and Kelly sued him for custody of his pot bellied pig. Soon after that she hooked up with Charlie Sheen, who gave her an engagement ring a few months later, then shot her in the arm in their apartment (he says it was an accident), then dumped her in 1990 for porn actress Ginger Lynn Allen. After a few months, she met up again with John Travolta, and married him the following year, becoming then a high profile defender both of Scientology and of her husband's heterosexuality.

Maybe she fell in love with John Travolta

Them wimminfolk do mighty strange things sometimes, I reckon.

1. Being shot in the arm was probably one reason.

At least Kelly Preston was a working actress herself, but it makes me think of the women who are chronic celebrity girlfriends.

And wonder how I can apply for that. ;)

2. I can understand ditching Charlie Sheen

He has a lot of baggage, especially back then...but it would break my heart to lose George Clooney.

3. Um, but the paragraph cited says he dumped her for Ginger Lynn.

:shrug:

4. Sorry, but she is hot. I wouldn't throw her out of bed.

Name a Hollywood actress who hasn't been through the relationship wringer. It seems like the actor types of both sexes are into a world of pain when it comes to relationships.

5. His love of whores.

Duh.

[stopbush]

6. Who's a whore? Ginger? Nah.

I'll take a porn star's "whoredom" over the whoredom of working for the defense industry, creating "products" that kill people. And I'm talking down to the file clerk level.

7. I am not using "whore" in the figurative sense.

I'm talking about literal work-on-their-backs prostitutes/escorts/call girls/what-have-yous.

He was a frequent client of Heidi Fleiss's escort agency. He may have softened a bit - no pun intended - in recent years, but he had a wild past.

8. Probably because Charlie Sheen is a jerk.

9. apparently Sheen is getting divorced from his pregnant wife right now

So perhaps Preston married the man who was best for her. :shrug:
