What is this crap?

I really hate to see stuff like this printed and I'd like to know who this "inside source" is, because there's no way in hell I see Jared acting like this.

ETA: LINK IS NOW WORKING
Exclusive: Supernatural Hunk Calls Off Engagement
Jared Padalecki won't be walking down the aisle anytime soon!
Star has learned exclusively that in early June the Supernatural star called off his engagement with his longtime girlfriend actress Sandra McCoy. The two became engaged in March.
"Now that Jared is starring in his first big film —the horror movie Friday the 13th — he's starting to see that his career could really take off and he doesn't want a wife to hold him back from becoming a major star," an insider tells Star. "It's as simple as that."
"He's really ambitious and wants to be very successful. He's been telling everyone, 'There's more to life than relationships and I want to be single.'"
The news came as a shock to Sandra, says the source, who now has to move out of Jared's L.A. house, where she has been residing for the past year.
"Sandra is devastated," says the source. "She really didn't see it coming. She has to start her whole life over again because she was always so focused on Jared. He was her world."

All these tabloid rags are full of crap.
ETA: If you have a minute, leave a nice comment about Jared over at Star at the bottom of the article. He's getting raked over the coals over there. :-(

Date: 2008-06-13 10:39 pm (UTC)Besides the fact that none of that even sounds vaguely like Jared, and Friday the 13th is hardly some HUGE movie, Jared already SOLD his LA house LAST YEAR before he bought the Vancouver house!
Poor Jared and Sandy!

I know! So if the article has one lie in it, chances are it's filled with them.
Poor Jared and Sandy!
Neither one of them deserves this. :-(

Date: 2008-06-14 11:19 am (UTC)I know, I don't get it either! How does this help anyone? I guess it gets more hits to The Star's site, but big deal! It's not like we're paying to click on the site. Maybe, eventually they could get more advertisers to pay them to put ads on their site, based on how many hits it gets, but that is a long shot. And if they want to do that, why not make up stories about Shia LeBeuf or Ben Barnes or the High School Musical kid? Not to dis Jared, but their fanbases are WAY bigger! It just makes no sense!
I suppose it could be personal against Jared and Sandy, or just Jared, since he's being made out to be the bad guy, but again, why? Cause he got a job some psycho wanted? Cause some freako ex-fan paid a lot of money for a convention he had to cancel his apprearance at and NOW they're getting their 'revenge'? Cause fans like him way better than the 'kick ass, asskicking twat' from season three . . . Oh My God, It's Dawn Ostroff! She lost her job and now she's got WAAAAAAAY too much free time!
*must make voodoo doll*

Date: 2008-06-16 07:49 pm (UTC)I was thinking the same thing! I mean, we all love Jared to death, but like you said, he's small potatoes compared to other male entertainment stars. Why on earth pick on him??

Well with some of the comments left there by Sandy fans, about what an ass Jared really is and how he's so full of himself (yeah, right! that guy's more humble than any other actor I've known!) I'm beginning to think it's a disgruntled someone in Sandy's camp that did this.
Oh My God, It's Dawn Ostroff! She lost her job and now she's got WAAAAAAAY too much free time!
ROTFL! Oh god, thank you for making me laugh over this!

Date: 2008-06-16 11:57 pm (UTC)It's possible, but I'm more inclined to think it is either some of the rabid Jensen fans who hate Jared (they mostly live on TWoP) or someone who just hates them both, because, and I know this is just wild speculation, but if the break itself was first suggested by either party, I would say it would have to have been Sandy, because, if Jared had any doubts at all, it's not like he had to propose in the first place. Assuming it happened like Sandy described, she wasn't even expecting it, so why do it and THEN think about it afterward and decide it's not a good idea. I dod think it was something agreed between the two of them, which shouldn't give anyone in Sandy's camp anything to bitch about, unless you mean a particular Sandy fan who has decided to be pissed off on her account. Which it could be.
I'm kind of wondering, and I'm only saying this cause it's way down in your comments and probably only you will read it, if maybe they thought she was pregnant, and when it turned out she wasn't, the relief was such that they decided, looking back on it, that maybe they weren't right for each other. The weird thing with that though would be that I would assume in that situation, Sandy would have been expecting a proposal.
