Another split announced today - (PEOPLE.com) -- They had a 21-year age difference and endured a strain that would have sunk any other relationship, and still Barbara Hershey and Naveen Andrews continued as one of Hollywood's more endearing couples. But now comes word that it quietly ended for Hershey, 62, and Andrews, 41, six months ago. "They remain best of friends," Andrews's manager Renee Jennet tells PEOPLE. cnn.com/2010

Dame Elizabeth Taylor has given some letters from her ex-husband Richard Burton to Vanity Fair magazine, which will be publishing them in the upcoming issue. The ones Huffinton Post published [in the link above] are lovely, so here are a couple excerpts: BURTON ON THE IDIOCY OF LOVE:"One of these days I will wake up--which I think I have done already--and realize to myself that I really do love. I find it very difficult to allow my whole life to rest on the existence of another creature. I find it equally difficult, because of my innate arrogance, to believe in the idea of love. There is no such thing, I say to myself. There is lust, of course, and usage, and jealousy, and desire and spent powers, but no such thing as the idiocy of love. Who invented that concept? I have wracked my shabby brains and can find no answer." BURTON CALLS ACTING "FAINTLY RIDICULOUS":"I have never quite got over the fact that I thought and I'm afraid I still do think, that 'acting' for a man--a really proper man--is sissified and faintly ridiculous. I will do this film with Ponti and Loren out of sheer cupidity--desire for money. I will unquestionably do many more. But my heart, unlike yours, is not in it." BURTON ON THE MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THEM:"You must know, of course, how much I love you. You must know, of course, how badly I treat you. But the fundamental and most vicious, swinish, murderous, and unchangeable fact is that we totally misunderstand each other ... we operate on alien wavelengths. You are as distant as Venus--planet, I mean--and I am tone-deaf to the music of the spheres. But how-so-be-it nevertheless. (A cliché among Welsh politicians.) I love you and I always will. Come back to me as soon as you can ... " BURTON ON HOW HE'LL NEVER WRITE ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP:"I'll leave it to you to announce the parting of the ways while I shall never say or write one word except this valedictory note to you. Try and look after yourself. Much love." Taylor also shares the letter she wrote to Burton following their decision to remarry after their first divorce. "Dearest Hubs, How about that! You really are my husband again, and I have news for thee, there bloody will be no more marriages--or divorces, either. Yours truly, Wife."

I always had the impression that the Burton/Taylor marriages ended in the same way the Gest/Minelli marriage did - in a flurry of vicious invective and broken vodka bottles. Burton and Taylor were just a bit more discreet about it.

I absolutely love what Richard Burton wrote; He could have been a writer. He was a brusque man, not known to spare people's feelings, but he was very honest and clearly a deep thinker and quite eloquent. Thanks for the snippets.

I wish he had recorded his words.. I can still kind of hear it in his voice but that is a pretty distant memory. GAL.. they acted that part out in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, to some extent. Taylor and Burton, I cared about.. Gest and Minelli, not so much.

There were all sorts of rumors flying about Mariah, especially since she pulled out of the new Tyler Perry project, 'For Colored Girls'. If it's true, I'm very happy for them.

Is "For Colorded Giris" based on “For Colored Girls who have Committed Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf” by Ntozake Shange? If so, I just can't imagine how to make a film of that. I really loved reading it though. Parts of it are absolutely brilliant.

Yes, Tish. And I'm scared to see what Tyler Perry does to it. The play is awesome. I was in it myself years ago. so powerful and moving. Don't know how it's going to turn out. He has some very talented actresses on tap and he's promised no Madea.

Sorry, that should have read "Considered Suicide," not "Committed Suicide"

Oh dear. Entertainment Lawyer is reporting that Liza Minelli is in discussions to go on Celebrity Rehab. I hope it isn't true or she just doesn't do it. Crazy Days and Nights on Liza

Saw a tabloid headline yesterday, but where.. I picked up a patient, took him to his radiation oncologist, took him home, came home, hung out, then picked up another patient and took him to his last radiation treatment at a different location, brought him home, then raced to pick up a friend and took her to a third hospital for a DEXA scan.. aha.. was it in that hospital gift shop I saw the tabloid (actualy may have been a magazine) headline.. yes.. so it said the Travoltas were having problems with the twins.. no idea of any truth, but hopefully there is NO trouble and hopefully they may have twins, healthy twins.. Or if none of that is true, a healthy baby, period. ==== Liza on Celebrity Rehab? sigh.. ==== That would be a challenge, making a movie of that play, which was awesome. Maybe a movie OF the play? Who are the actresses lined up, Ladytex?

The first person I thought of was the Tilly girl, but I can't tell Meg and Jennifer apart. Jennifer was the one in Broadway Danny Rose, I think, and the poker player. I'm going with her but the Fran Dresher guesses are good too. I don't think it can be Holly Hunter because she's won an Oscar so she can't ever be C list.

I think Fran Drescher's done a few things like that in the past, so I think it could definitely be her - the only thing I wonder about is whether she would have sway to get the (young, I presume) girl's favourite musician seeing as she's unlikely to have a personal relationship with that person, given the age gap. Maybe she's knows someone who knows someone who... though. Anyone else have trouble reading at CDaN? The small white type on black just makes my eyes go all swimmy!

I can't remember which Tilly girl is which, either. But does Drescher do movies? He specified movies and television, so I'll take a Tilly for this one.

Meg Tilly was in The Big Chill. She's definitely quirky but Jennifer is the chubbier/busty one who's just off the wall and does those black comedy movies.

Sea, here is the imdb page. He's got Whoopi, Janet Jackson, Anika Nani Rose, Phylicia Rashad, Loretta Devine, and Kimberly Alise among others. Like I said, I'm extremely apprehensive about this.
