Bing Laden

.....or so he has been dubbed by the BBC.

Maybe off and on you've heard little bits and pieces about Stephen Bing, a "sometimes" Hollywood Producer known for being a Playboy and living off his $400-600 million inheritance. He was probably most reluctantly thrown into the media during his disputes with Elizabeth Hurley who had gotten pregnant with Bing's baby. Bing publicy denied this saying the relationship wasn't serious, blah blah blah until tests came back in that the child was his. There is rumor that after he found out he was the father he asked Hurley to terminate the pregnancy. She refused. During the pregnancy it is said that he made no effort to be in touch with Elizabeth. He apparently has another kid out of wedlock with tennis player Lisa Bonder.

So far it doesn't sound like more than some usual Hollywood drama right? Well here is what I don't get. Stephen Bing has not only been romantically linked to Elizabeth Hurley, but also to Sharon Stone, Brooke Burns, and various others including many models like Gisele Bundchen. Of course, most notably, his most recent conquest has been Nicole Kidman, who is reported to be ready to get serious with him...and possibly get married? These women are all gorgeous.....so, what's going on here? I've never been one to be very superficial, but with this guy's background I would think he would have to be dashing to get some of the women he has had. However, handsome he is not, at least in my opinion. Ok, so maybe he is a great romancer right? Well judging by the poem he apparently wrote for Nicole Kidman, I'm guessing not so much:

"I know we'll be jolly, stuff turkey and wave mistletoe. Even better with friends than flying it solo. Me? I'll do it with this seasonal chick. She's a cool cat. Untie the bow and welcome the other Saint Nic"

Ok, well he has to be doing something right to be getting all these women. It takes a lot more than an amazing bedroom performance to keep a solid relationship with a man. What's your secret Mr. Bing?

In other news....Brad & Jen = separated. I don't know about anyone else, but I had high hopes for these two. It seems like marriage in bigtime Hollywood is impossible. Before you could always look to Tom and Nicole and say, well some make it work. Then there was Brad and Jen, another hopeful couple. Now both couples are gone, what a shame. So who do we have remaining, Antonio and Melanie? Eek.
