whoops, this posting got a bit feisty. if you read the story again, at the end it says that a photo of elaine and jay penske is in the dec. vogue. so as you refer to john as a guy who discards women, do know that penske is known to do the same. he's a uber playboy interested in getting into the fashion world, i.e. publishing. he's dated many a women his senior and collects famous names. so, it kind of goes both ways, right? penske, at 32, and extremely wealthy, is known to eventually -- eventually -- want to start a family. i don't expect a marriage here. but it's a good entry back into the world for the former mrs. mellencamp. anyone know how she met penske? was it when she drove the indy pace car? and might they have had mutual crushes while elaine was still married? never point a finger at just one person. it always takes too. coincidental that penske has a race team, etc.?

have heard elvis costello, matthew mcconaughey and meg ryan all read for it.

That was for the CD, not the stage play.

ohhhhh. so any word who is in the stage play? if it's a musical, it's live singing. strange to have a cd sung by some folks and other's during a performance. but.......  so any lineup for the stage?

anyone know yet who has been cast for the production? have heard elvis costello, matthew mcconaughey and meg ryan all read for it. but who did the cast? think that would be pulled together by now. contracts signed, etc. do tell......!

More grey, less beard, I think most of us can agree with that :-)

Rene, why would he not continue to live in the house he has lived in for so long? I\'m sure his kids will still be there half the time that he is in B-town. Plus there\'s Meg Ryan and her young daughter who seem to spend a lot of time there.

Could People mag have picked a WORSE picture of John and Elaine. They both look awful in it!

true, true, true rhonda on the house. he just seems to be more of a cozy guy, as if he could spend the rest of his life living inside a hoodie sweatshirt. each time i saw a photo of that house i thought it seemed sort of un-john. seems a little bit cottage, a little bit cabin to me. consider he loves his vintage silver trailer.

i think its time for a new hairdo....let the grey grow in and cut shorter......

yep, let it go grey, cut it, let the balding spot show. truth is he looks lots like his dad. if he'd just go grey he'd look less like his dad (richard seems to dye his hair blonde?) and on the divorce. why would john keep that enormous house? he could literally fly around in there.

He still owns and lives in it.

(BTW worst pic of JM ever

on photo, yeah, it's that spit curl. on the house, what the heck is he doing in that big house? if he has the house where do his kids live?

anyone happen to know who got that huge mansion or did they put it on the market?

That's his brother Joe's son. 

how come he never mentions brother, sister, etc. how many does he have (siblings)? do they all look alike?

'Life is short'

Tis True~~

'tis part of something john has tattooed on his arm.......

The 49-year-old actress strolled through Paris recently with new boyfriend, the singer-songwriter John Cougar Mellencamp, while wearing a pretty and sleeveless summery floral dress.

Clearly to be seen on the When Harry Met Sally star's left arm was an inking which reads 'Life is short'.
