Robert Redford (71) is engaged to be married to his German artist girlfriend Sibylle Szaggars, who is 19 years younger. The couple have been dating since 1996. Redford has three children from his first marriage: Jamie, 46, Shauna, 48, and Amy, 38.

Redford is notoriously guarded about his personal life, and managed to keep the break-up of his first marriage to Lola Van Wagenen secret for almost 10 years.

Getting married at the age of 71 seems like a desperate attempt to keep from being alone. Hopefully he gets a prenup. Redford’s kids come first, and you know how some women like to swoop in and take steal the family fortune, by taking advantage of a vulnerable older man. Let’s hope that isn’t the case here, and it’s really true love. Redford said:

"We are engaged and very happy with that. Sibylle is my fiancee and that says everything, doesn’t it?"

How do you feel about marriages like this? Is Redford doing the right thing?

According to some Robert Redford and Meryl Streep have a hatred for Tom Cruise, and they made that issue overtake any publicity surrounding their new movie together Lions for Lambs. Fox News reports:

Robert Redford and Meryl Streep did not attend Tom Cruise’s big dinner the other night honoring him by the American Museum of the Moving Image.

When I noted that the "Lions for Lambs" stars were absent, an insider very close to the scene told me, "Meryl and Bob can’t stand Tom. In London, Tom kept trying to push himself into interviews. Bob said, ’No.’ Tom wouldn’t listen. Meryl has done almost nothing for the movie. She wants nothing to do with him."

Lions for Lambs is another anti-American movie promoting Robert Redford’s beliefs. Even supporters who share Redford’s beliefs hate the movie. This whole hate Tom thing seems like a good way to blame him for the bad reception of the movie, when it would have sucked even more without him. I’m still not sure why Tom even agreed to get involved. From my calculations Tom is worth over $1 billion from his acting earnings, which is far and above anything Redford or Streep have made, so maybe they should be less jealous and more respectful. I used to like Redford until I found out how anti-American, and petty he is.
