I have no desire to see this movie.  I’ve already seen it… back in 1995.  It was called Dangerous Minds. 

When Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe revealed they were divorcing in May, most fans figured the double Oscar-winner had gotten too famous for her lower-profile husband.

“Absolutely not,” Swank, 32, says in a new interview.

“Millions of men and women fall in love, get married, then get divorced,” she says in the January issue of Reader’s Digest.

“If what happened to me helps someone realize they’re in a great relationship and to hold the person closer, then do it. If it makes someone realize they’re in an unhealthy relationship that is making them both unhappy, then it’s not the end of the world.”

So how did Swank survive the split? “You rely on your friends when you go through something so big,” she says. “My friends are my family.”

It probably doesn’t hurt that Swank, whose new movie, Freedom Writers, opens in January, has bounced back with a new man: John Campisi, one of her agents at Creative Artists Agency. “I’m dating a great guy,” she tells the magazine.

She might be getting over the emotional bruises of her divorce, but she hasn’t quite recovered from one of her past movies: “I have some problems with elevated mercury in my system,” she says. “I wasn’t eating meat when I was filming Million Dollar Baby but had to put on 19 pounds of muscle. So I ate a lot of fish.”

Yay! I love Harry Connick Jr.!

In an interview to air on Monday’s episode of Extra, Chad Lowe, 38, opens up for the first time about his much-publicized split from Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank, 32. Excerpts from the interview below:

On getting divorced:
“It has been a tough year and not something I expected. It’s very humbling.”

On Swank spilling details of Lowe’s past substance abuse to Vanity Fair:
“They were absolutely true, absolutely true. I’ve been sober for three and a half years and very grateful for that… I was disappointed that the details of our relationship became public.”

On Swank’s support:
“I am so grateful to Hilary for her support of me in a very difficult time in my life three and a half years ago. What hurt me more than anything is that people would think that she wasn’t there for me and she was…She was the love of my life and that’s not something you just shut off. I will always love her.”

On whether they’ll reconcile:
“Not in a marital sense…I’m very happy with my life and where it is now.” He admits, “It’s been a tough year and I’ve gotten through it and at this point with some perspective I can see that things really work out the way they are meant to.”

On whether he thinks he’ll find love again:
“I don’t know. I don’t think you can predict that…I’m very open to it and you know I take great solace in the fact that I know I am capable of really deep love.”

Lowe’s latest project is Beautiful Ohio, a 70s-era film starring William Hurt, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Julianna Margulies, which Lowe directed and produced. Watch for Lowe next season when he joins the cast of 24.

She sure looks homely without makeup. 

You don’t have to feel bad if you were thinking the same thing, c’mon admit it.

I look like Gisele Bundchen without makeup. 

These are old – I think from 2004-2005.  But I just stumbled across them… holy crap, she looks hot! I’ve never really thought she was pretty – but dang!  She should just lay around in her underwear in her movies!

Here are the HQ’s…

Looking amazing, I might add.
