Have you ever thought that this might be some sort of mutual arrangement between GA and PM? She « appears » to be his girlfriend for the publicity (to promote the crown etc) and its also a cover up for her and DD’s actual relationship? Call me a cynic but she doesn’t appear genuinely comfortable round PM. Am I reaching here?

Pretty much every far fetched explanation crossed my mind, anon, but that one is reaching 🙂 I don’t think any man or woman would deliberately allow their girlfriend or boyfriend to play a showmance with someone else. It’s a dangerous game, most of all when you’re famous. And Gillian is not that kind of woman anyway. I know she’s not perfect, I know a lot of people put her on a pedestal way too much, but she doesn’t do showmance. She does things without having any idea how they’ll be taken, though. She probably thought the Schmoopie shirt was just funny and didn’t know it would be taken as seriously as it was. She could have thought going to the Globes with PM wasn’t going to be taken as seriously as it is either. .
