No Marriage Plans For Jim And Jenny

Funnyman Says Couple Won't Get Married, Therefore They Won't Get Divorced

(AP)  Jim Carrey says he and his lady love, Jenny McCarthy, aren't planning to get married.

"No, we're never getting married, but we're never getting divorced, which is fantastic," the 45-year-old actor says on Tuesday's edition of "Access Hollywood."

Will he get her a ring at least?

"I bought her a Chloe purse," he jokes. "Isn't that good enough?"

Carrey and McCarthy, 34, went public with their romance last year. "She's just a wonderful lady and much deeper than she's ever received credit for, and I'm very excited about her future," he says of the former Playboy playmate, who got her big break in the mid-'90s as a co-host on MTV's "Singled Out."

Carrey, who was previously married to actress Lauren Holly, has a 19-year-old daughter, Jane, with his first wife, Melissa Womer. McCarthy and film director John Asher filed for divorce in August 2005, after six years of marriage. They have a 4-year-old son, Evan.

When asked whether their relationship would have worked years ago, Carrey says, "No, not at all. I went through a lot of relationships that I believe were meant to define what I don't want in another person and in myself, and it refocused me on what I do want."

Carrey stars in the New Line drama "The Number 23," slated for release Feb. 23. He rose to fame in the TV show "In Living Color" and the film comedies "Ace Ventura" and "The Mask," but has since dabbled in more serious stuff such as 2004's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

McCarthy has appeared in the films "John Tucker Must Die" and "Scary Movie 3," and starred in the short-lived 2005 UPN sitcom, "The Bad Girl's Guide." Her books about pregnancy and motherhood, "Belly Laughs" and "Baby Laughs," were on the New York Times best-seller list.

I appear to be the only one that sees this a healthy reltionship, where they have thought things out.
And why should either one of them open themselves up to the press?
The press always stabs people in the back or hits them when they are down.

I think you people are a bunch of morons. How dare you talk about someone like that, you're pathetic. You have no idea what that man went through growing up and how he struggled to get on top. You pathetic creeps are just they type of people that enjoy watching someone fall then laugh about it. Shame on you.

Of course we felt compelled to read this article. We thought, "Hey, that nut job is talking about having a normal, loving relationship - I gotta see how he thinks he's got a chance in one."

I expect Carey's mental illness to consume him someday soon. Let's see if Jenny sticks around. I doubt she will.

I only read this article to see if that dimwit Carrey admits to "studying" scientology, the latest Hollyweird fad "religion".

Altho "study" isn't really what you do with poorly written science-fiction, written by a fat, lazy pill-popping drunk...L. Ron Hubbard.

For some reason I felt compelled to read this article. I am still wondering why.
