Thanks To the Princess, Han Wasn't Always Solo (cnn.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the love-affair dept.

rmdingler writes: It seems the chemistry was strong with these two. It is interesting to note how long it took this to emerge, as by today's standards, it doesn't rise to nearly the same level of scuttlebutt. Almost 40 years later, Carrie Fisher told People magazine that she and Harrison Ford had an affair on the set of the 1977 film 'Star Wars.' "It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend," she said. "After stumbling on often angst-ridden journals she kept while filming on location in London, she felt the time had come to open up about the formative experience," reports People magazine. "'It's been 40 years,' explains Fisher, who went on to write The Princess Diarist, excerpted exclusively in this week's issue."

    Why is this shit posted on Slashdot? A lot of cocks have been sucked in the history of mankind and I guess none of those events really qualify as something to post on Slashdot.

    I think his unwillingness to comment on it is fairly classy.

    The usual suspects are trying to slut-shame her to make them feel better about their unstable marriages.

    I suppose everyone is playing their role here.

      Yeah, it's slut shaming. All motivated by the desire to reduce prospects for THEIR husband getting some on the side by reducing the available pool of women through intense criticism.

      I personally don't see others' sexual preferences and number of partners to be my business. You apparently do.

      I'm old enough to remember the religious assholes trying to tell all of us how to live and do not have good memories of this. I sense deja vu in your post.

      -- I didn't comment until she started bragging about it and using it to promote her book. So apparently she thinks it is my business and yours.

      ...and he was 33 married with two children. Absolutely degenerate and disgusting.

      Then we should be shaming him, not her.

    "it's been 40 years" and I need the money, so to get people to buy the book I am dragging out all my dirty laundry.

    BeauHD, trashy, salacious gossip about actresses in a SF film is still trashy and salacious gossip. You are single-handedly dragging this once-great site into depths of moronic self-parody unplumbed since the Jon Katz era. Seriously, this is like A Post Too Far. You are in need of an intervention, for the good of your entire organization.
