I normally don't report on who is dating who. But... an exception must be made.This morning scanning the gossip blogs I read three "new couple!" alerts about actors Evan Rachel Wood & Shane West. This just goes to show you the short memories of most media writers or their alarming youth. Not a one of these reports has mentioned that Evan Rachel Wood and Shane West are SISTER AND BROTHER... well, fictional sister and brother but they'll always be "Eli and Jessie Sammler" on Once & Again (1999-2001). That's how they got famous in the first place! So I hereby decree that this fling must end. It's too upsetting to my fragile psyche which already has trouble distinguishing acted fiction from lived reality.
I never thought I'd want Evan to run back to Marilyn Manson but incest is illegal in most states and should remain so in (Young) Hollywood, California as well.

Well, then, you don't want to hear the latest about the Brady Bunch.
Apparently, Mrs. Brady went on a date with Greg. We all knew that, even if Florence henderson denies it.
Greg also dated Macia for 2 years during the show. But Maureen McKormic is just about to release a biography, and she is going to tell about some girl on girl "sexual play" between Marcia and Jan!!!!
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!!!
Well, Joely Richardson dated (or is dating, I don't really know) and presumably had sex with her onscreen SON from "Nip/Tuck" (the bad guy from "Teeth", his name escapes me -come to think of it all the guys in "Teeth" were bad. The brother, who kind of looks like Michael Jackson). Ew!
How about the marriage of Dexter and his sister on the show? Married!
I repeat: stop condoning incest Hollywood! Although bizarre matchups of offscreen/onscreen relationships are encouraged (like real life marrieds Patricia Wetting and Ken Olin on thirtysomething and then Brothers & Sisters)
No way! Dex and Debra are married?! Gross! The producers of the show should've made something to keep me from hearing those news (I'm halfway trough season 2, Dexter just cheated on his annoying girlfriend with that weird mouthed woman, Deb looks more like a puma everyday). They do make a handsome couple though.
I don't know why is so wrong about that. First They're actors. Then, like many people, they know their love in work and finally people should have the difference between reality and Hollywood.
Or like example: It's not necessary an offscreen romance, but Amanda Sheyreid, in "Boogie Woogie", she's the young lover of her prior "Mamma Mia!" father Stellan Skarsgard
Incest is, if for no other reason that in its lower (which is to say higher) echelon status in the repressed abject of our social order, smokin' hot!
Has anyone ever argued successfully that incest between twins is not really bad but rather an elaborate form of masturbation?
What about Angelina Jolie and her hot brother, for example?
Or the Sherilyn Fenn and John Zane in This World then the Fireworks?
Of Hugh Hefner's "the twins"?
Point: Erich (especially the Angelina & Haven part)
i think the worse case of incest for me was on Brothers and Sisters when Justin (Dave Annable) was hot for Rebecca (Emily Vancamp) who was his sister...at the time.
I admit, they did have chemistry, but to totally retcon Rebecca being his sister just so she could hop into bed with Justin was sick. Plus, as soon as she was no longer known as his sister, Justin was all over her.
and offscreen, i did remember hearing some sort of rumors about Dave Annable dating Sally Field, who plays his mother on the show, but probably just a rumor.
John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands played brother/sister in "Love Streams" and that kinda freaked me out...
What about THE DREAMERS, where the georgeous Michael Pitt is seduced by a brother and sister team (the equally beautiful Eva Green and Louis Garrel?)
That was kind of hot too, except that Bertolucci crapped out on the gay scenes with the brother saying that it would be too boring and repetative after being seduced by the sister....I have to disagree, Bernardo!
Who would have turned any of those hotties down?
Oh yes i love that steamy French Incest between Garrel and Green. YUMMY!!
And also I would love an incest between Milo Vertimiglia and Adrian Pasnad
Speaking of Evan Rachel Wood, I'm pretty excited to see her as Sophie-Anne LeClerq in "True Blood" this summer.
I'm more annoyed that people forgot Once and Again. I just rewatched a couple episodes from the second season and was bowled over by them. I mean, the show was so brilliant that Patrick Dempsey was actually GREAT on it.
Evan Rachel Wood really has the flair of an old-time movie star. She should be in black-and-white for Billy Wilder. Or something.
I know that they're actors as Anonymous so kindly pointed out, but for some reason, it tends to squick me out too when actors playing siblings or parent/child date in real life.
Well not always like with the case of Wood and West, but when I found out that Jason Priestley dated Shannen Doherty, I thought that was really gross. I guess since they're not that great of actors, I was afraid that chemistry would come out in their scenes together.
Also this is sort of a reverse example of the ones being given here, but Chyler Leigh kissed her real life brother in Kickboxing Academy, and in the Simone/Ferris Bueller type of way too. That really squicked me out when I read about it on ONTD!, and thought that perhaps she shouldn't have played Janie in Not Another Teen Movie, but the Mia Kirshner role in that movie.
wood is so beautiful...
and how freakin great was she in 'the wrestler.'
