Yesterday, many media outlets began reporting the totally unverified rumor that Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger might be engaged and preparing for a wedding. Sure, there’s some evidence here and there to back that story up, but in general, I think many of us are still wondering what’s really going on between Bradley and Renee. The “Bradley is gay” story just won’t die, because everyone tends to point at his relationship with Renee as proof that he is, in fact, into dudes, and that Renee is bearding for him, like she may have done with someone else (who shall remain nameless).
All in all, Bradley might have something of an image problem, especially if he wants lots of dudes (and ladies) to buy him as the big manly hetero action star of The A-Team. That’s where stories like this week’s In Touch Weekly piece come in. According to In Touch, Renee “wants a ring” but Bradley is still “acting single” by flirting like crazy with Jessica Biel. Come to think of it, this story sounds like it was spread by Biel’s people, not Cooper’s. Whatever:
Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger may technically still be a couple, but they are definitely hiding it well. The pair have been pictured apart for weeks, and heartthrob Bradley has been promoting The A-Team and surrounding himself with screaming girls and even flirting with his sexy costar Jessica Biel.
Lately, Jessica is much more likely to be by his side than Renee. Bradley and Jessica even spent Memorial Day [Editor’s note: “the most romantic of all the holidays”] weekend together in North Carolina for a NASCAR event while Renee hung out by herself in the Hamptons.
Renee definitely seems to giving Bradley a long leash, but it has more to do with his image than their relationship, says an insider. “Bradley thinks it’s boring for people to hear him prattle on and on about his girlfriend,” the insider reveals. “And the studio doesn’t necessarily like it because they’re busy promoting Bradley as the eye candy in The A-Team.”
It does seem strange that Bradley won’t ever discuss Renee, especially when he talks about other women while doing press. But what seems to matter to Renee is that she and Bradley make their relationship official, mostly because she’s anxious to start a family. To that end, she’s won over his mother, Gloria, who “she knows will help put some gentle pressure” on Bradley to propose soon.
Since they’ve both been married before, “They aren’t looking to make a splash,” with a wedding, adds a friend.
Meanwhile, Bradley is playing “the Hollywood game.”

What’s funny is that In Touch illustrated this story with a photo of Bradley, Jessica Biel and some random dude, and they’re trying to make it seem like Bradley was checking out Jessica, but you can tell Bradley is looking at the dudes shoes. Like, “Oooh, Prada!” Basically, I don’t think there’s anything going on between Biel and Cooper, as much as their publicists would like to make it happen. He seems to like whatever Zellweger has going on (bangs of insanity) and Jessica seems to like whatever Justin has going on (?).
That guy is such a fox!!
gay, gay, gay
Renee used to be pretty. WTH happened?
How come this guy is so famous all of a sudden. Come on…anyone could have played his part in Hang Over. What else has he done? He’s really not that good. (or this could just be my jealously speaking)
He’s hot AND straight (without a doubt) and I really doubt the wedding rumor. She could be just trying on a gown for an event because all she wears in Hererra. Probably went in for sizing to see samples.
And Jessica is pretty-and obviously the guys dig her. They could be hooking up!
On a side note-I was in Vegas last month and the word on the street was Bradly was there filming Hangover 2. I was very tempted to search for him! *evil grin*
Renee is underweight. If she gained 10 or 15 pounds she would look much healthier. Bradley Cooper is gay, gay, gay.
So, there’s not going to be a wedding? *sob*
Seriously, Biel & the Gay Hotness are co-stars in The A-Team. It’s called “promoting their movie” in publicity circles, and a “relationship” in the rag-mag industry.
this guy does nothing for me. i just dont see it. he always looks kind of greasy/dirty and has that ever-present sh*t eating grin
I smell movie promotional relationship scam (also known as an “The Aniston Effect”) here. Last night we noted that all the A-Team ads are (not so subtly) changing from the explosive laden ma-cheese-mo sound bites, to tons of steamy seksitime clips between Coop and Biel.
They are pretty together, I will say that much, and the one clip of a kiss that I saw was kinda hot.
I hope he’s straight and that they get together and live happily ever after. HAHAHHAHHHHHHA, ahh good times.
Lol @ “The Aniston effect”. She did start that….
a fox indeed!! A dirty little fox at that!!
And I am sorry but I have NEVER thought Renee was at all or even somewhat attractive. She has always looked, to me, like she is always hungover…
Maybe Jessica is a better beard than Rene. This guy is so gay its painful to see him pretending to not be.
Hang on a second.
Bradley Cooper is gay?
Shut up.
Next you’ll be telling me Queen Latifah is a lesbian.
i have tried so hard, but cannot find the hot in him.
I must be the only one who would love it if Jessica Biel dumped Timberlake for Cooper.
As smug as Timberlake behaves, it would be devastating to his gigantic ego… to be dump for the big new A list movie star.
And I am still not buying into Cooper being that into Rene’. No matter how much PR her people put out it does not seem remotely true.
YOVER – i was there as well and it’s true he was there! I missed him but apparently he was at the Bellagio one night partying at The Bank! I went there the weekend after to stalk him, but he wasn’t there 🙂
As for these gay rumours…WHY??!? Don’t get that vibe at all, he is a sexy sexy piece…
I don’t know, I don’t get the “gay vibe” from him, but I also don’t get the “hetero vibe” from him either.
yesterday (I think it was then) I posted something about how I think he like both men and women, but the more I look at him, I get a vibe off of him that he doesn’t really like sex with either gender. he looks like the type who would find sex to be too “dirty” for him, and not “dirty” in the good way.
as in, “ewwww! too many bodily fluids!”
Jessica even spent Memorial Day [Editor’s note: “the most romantic of all the holidays”] weekend together in North Carolina for a NASCAR event while Renee hung out by herself in the Hamptons.
***************
Memorial Day romantic? NASCAR a date? Beil sexy and Cooper is straight? Man, I feel so enlightened. I also thought it said Renee HUNG herself in the Hamptons.
I don’t get it-is there some story I missed about him hooking up with a guy? Or is it just his looks? Why do people swear up and down he is gay? Him and Jake G. I don’t get one blip on my gaydar screen.
Workin: DANG! I wasn’t sure! We went to Haze and Tao to see if he would show up there but it’s so freaking nuts in those places, I just wanted to go somewhere where I could get a drink for less than $20. I have a friend that owns a security company for celebrities there and he’s the one who said he was in town. This guy gets us into every club in LV without waiting in line! It’s awesome-we just walk right in, don’t even stop! Otherwise I’d live in the dive bars instead of waiting in those insane lines! lol
Here is an open question to anyone that would have some insight on situations & arrangements such as these: when an actress is a beard for someone or in R.Z case multiple people does that mean the beard themself is a lesbian? Or is it most usually for financial gain??
dude….Eileen, I’m going to Vegas with YOU, girl!
Am I the only person who thinks he looks like an ugly rodent?
Praise: Come on! I go on a girl’s only trip to LV once a year in May. My poor friend Roy (security guy …is the only guy aloud to hang with us) has seen us all just completely lit! Last year we were at the Ghost Bar and I was so drunk he actually picked me up threw me over his shoulder and hung out like that all night. If guys try to come talk to us he screens them like he does his clients and then people think we’re famous. lol He’s HUGE and scary looking.
We have a bawl when we go! We get tattoos, drink a lot, shop a lot and sleep A LOT.
Bradley and Jessica? Nope.
Bradley and Justin? The possibilities are endless.
Nope, not the only one. . .I second the dirty rat look.
Also second the thought of Beil dumping Pip Squeak for Cooper. That would be priceless and very funnE!
Also agree with not getting gay vibes from Jake or Cooper.
My I’m in an agreeable mood today. . .must be Friday!
I think the thing I like the most of him is his smile… its like a bad boy smile… and i dig it! 😉
And about the gay rumors, I just dont see it, maybe he is..
In thet case I hope he is bi, maybe I’ll still have a chance with him 😀
Haha Eileen…yes i agree next time i go i’m coming with you. We’ll find him 🙂
Of course Bradley was flirting and acting ‘single’ with the female co-star of his new movie. This exclusive tidbit was probably fed to tabloids via Bradley’s PR. It also helps erase those pesky gay rumours that keep following his ass. Helps Biel with extra publicity that is seperate from her showmance with Timberlake. Also helps squash the whispers about Biel’s alleged true sexuality.
Biel needs to stay with JT because Coop is all mine; not gay just pretty boy. If he is gay, I would like to hit that just once before he “formally” comes out. What?! There’s nothing wrong with that.
What do you mean “acting single”? As long as he is single, he’s not “acting” anything.
Biel is actually looking good in these shots. Most of the time I find her style off the mark.
When did it start that when people of the opposite sex talk to each other, it means that they outrageously flirting?
Jessica Biel and Bradley Cooper look better together, they both look young and healthy. Renee is starting to look like Melanie Griffith and that’s not good.
methinks the Coop acts like that with a lot of ladies….
I don’t get the gay vibe from him*, especially after I saw The Hangover.
Talking about Renee… what’s up with her face?! I don’t think she’s a beauty but those lips are getting worst and worst, it seems that she’s costantly sucking a lemon. She should do something to fix her mouth, then probably she would be more attractive.
*but after reading the comment of Cinderella I’m having fantasies about him and Justin Timberlake… 😀
What are the chances Jessica sat down and wrote this herself. Lainey says he’s most definitely straight and she is very reliable.
I didn’t think he was gay until he hooked up with RZ but they are so clearly unequally yoked in the attractiveness quotient that him being gay, but closeted, is the only logical solution. Whatever. He should just be true to himself. Relationships for publicity reasons are so annoying. Yes, I’m looking at you Mr Cruise.
I would love to see Biel dump Timberlake for a woman, guy, animal.
I never believed Cooper’s romance with Renee because isn’t she usually all over her real men? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of these two less than a foot apart and they never seem to be together.
I never got that blip on my gaydar for Bradley Cooper but that may be because I love him and think he’s a SUPER MAJOR HOTTIE 😀 I am SO looking forward to A-Team. I have to say though, Jessica over Renee FOR SURE. Renee looks so bad lately its scary…I mean I never thought she was pretty but that haircut made her attractiveness go to negative levels…
Loved him in He’s Just Not That Into You even though he was a cheating a-hole cause he was so hot. And loved him in The Hangover because he also was really hot. And I loved him in Kitchen Confidential (Its this series he leaded for but got cut even though it was a legitimately funny and had a really funny cast. Non-biasness speaking, a really good show) because he was funny and sexy.
Fluffy Kitten Tail you offer the perfect description of BCoop.
I never got the gay vibe from B-Coop. He is incredibly hot tho. I think he and Biel would make a cuter couple than who they both are dating now. And Renee Z is a hot mess. yuk. She looks like his aunt.
As Jessica Biel is a legendary beard, there’s no reason for Cooper not to make the switch, if he so desires. If I were younger and single (and better-looking) I think the perfect career would be a Hollywood Beard. You’d go to fabulous parties, have great clothes, be paid and NOT have to sleep with any men for that lifestyle.
