Per a so-called "friend of Streisand," the superstar "feels offended no-one seemed to even want to acknowledge her, let alone take any advice. However, speaking to The New York Times in October , Streisand made it clear that Cooper had been in touch with her about the movie, and had even shown her a clip before its release. When asked if she'd seen the movie yet, Streisand replied, "I haven't seen it completed.
Bradley [Cooper] did show me the opening. I was surprised by how similar it was to my version. I thought that was new and interesting. What I've seen of the film I really liked. Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana dated on-and-off from to , after meeting on the set of The Words. A source confirmed to E! News that the couple broke up just before New Year's Eve, seeing in separately.
And even though they've worked together since on the Guardians of the Galaxy movies , it seems as though there's no love lost between them. Saldana moved on just months later, and was first spotted with her now-husband, Italian artist Marco Perego, in May Perego and Saldana quickly tied the knot in July , and have since had three children together.
The reason it's thought that Cooper and Saldana's relationship ended badly is because the actress told Marie Claire in , "I have been in relationships where a man has disrespected me, and I don't need to be friends with that man anymore.
There's a reason why you're called an ex. You cross a line, you need to know that you're going to walk this earth knowing that there's an individual who has no respect for you. On top of that, Saladana's rep told the tab that she and Britton had "amicably separated" and "remain committed business partners as co-founders" of a business they ran together.
Jennifer Esposito and Bradley Cooper got engaged in October , and their wedding took place in France just two months later on December 21, The stars were married for four short months, and there's still a lot of mystery surrounding their quick courtship.

One helpful Internet commenter warned that dip tastes like "Big Foot's dick. The clean taste of mint mixes with the dirty tobacco—it's an odd paradox, like I'm licking an ashtray filled with Tic Tacs and Marlboro butts. Physically, it's more of a challenge than I thought.
The tobacco stings my cheek like orange juice on a canker sore. And I have no control over my wad. It's supposed to stay compact, but strands of tobacco migrate all over my mouth. The spit builds up fast. I put my empty Poland Spring bottle to my lips and do my best. But instead of the bullet I've seen ballplayers emit, I let loose a messy, chin-dribbling drool. As for the feeling: It's fantastic, until it isn't. For the first five minutes, I feel like someone is pumping helium into my cranium.
One of the best head rushes I've ever had. I can't stop smiling, like a demented flight attendant. Then, with alarming speed, comes the nausea. I don't throw up—a common dipping-tobacco rite of passage—but I feel profoundly uneasy, like I'm in a two-seater airplane bouncing through a snowstorm above Buffalo. I sweat. Light hurts my eyes. I space out, staring at my iPhone and trying to remember why I took it out.
I burp repeatedly. I obviously need some guidance. I search the Internet for "How to Chew Tobacco. The Web is loaded with images of receding gums, caramel-colored teeth, missing jaws, and white patches called gator lip, along with testimonials on how smokeless tobacco is absolutely, positively not a safe alternative to smoking.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reminds us that it might contain delicious arsenic, lead, and mercury. But the public has a right to know. So I forge ahead. I stumble onto a YouTube channel founded by a man who calls himself the Dip Doctor. The Doctor is perhaps not the best person to dispel chewing-tobacco stereotypes. He wears a camouflage cap adorned with a Confederate flag.
He owns a company called Mud Jug that sells portable spittoons with names like Backwoods Badass Outlaw. But still, he's passionate and knowledgeable, so I call the Dip Doctor real name: Darcy Compton to get some dos and don'ts.
He's got plenty. I tell the Dip Doctor about my wife's less-than-enthusiastic reaction to my experiment. His response is immediate: "Don't ever quit dippin' for a woman. It's been four days and I'm getting bolder. I've been dipping wherever I go: the subway, the street, Starbucks, picking up my kids from school.
I work at one of those shared offices where a bunch of twenty-two-year-olds are beta-testing new social-media platforms while downing bok choy smoothies and discussing yoga studios. I sit in the corner and quietly spit my chunky tobacco juice into a thermos. I feel rebellious and dirty and unhealthy. Also focused. This stuff is like Adderall. For about half an hour after I put in a dinger, I'm on fire. This morning, I banged out fifty emails. I'm stuffing in bigger hogs.
You can spot the swelling in my cheek, perhaps conveniently foreshadowing the tumor I'll eventually develop. The lumps of tobacco affect my speech. They make me sound—appropriately enough—like I have a Kentucky drawl. The phrase "Nice to see you" comes out "Nahs to shee ya. Today I get cocky. I take a massive wad of some hardcore stuff and soon feel a wave of nausea.
I run to the bathroom at work and stand in front of the urinal spitting, moaning, and dry-heaving. I hear someone open the bathroom door, then shut it without entering. Good call.
I have been reading up on the history of my new habit. Native Americans chewed tobacco leaves for centuries. After Columbus, European settlers took to the new drug, with popularity reaching its height in America in the nineteenth century. In , Charles Dickens visited our shores and was thoroughly grossed out by what he called the torrents of "yellow rain.
And in the White House, where the president's inner circle often ignored spittoons and just "bestowed their favors" on the carpet. Smokeless tobacco went into decline for a couple of reasons, including the rise of cigarettes and fear of disease.
