Rob Lowe

His autobiography was fairly interesting but he seems like such a bland guy. He talks a lot about his wife saving him and being there for him these past 20 years. Interesting match. He's the pretty one. His biggest thrill was doing West Wing but what did it get him? Every other actor on the show got a big raise when it went large, and he got zip. (I never watched it...was he good?) And he had a big-time agent (Bernie Brillstein) too. He comes off like a nice guy but the other actors on the West Wing seemed to dislike him. Why hasn't he worked more? He's been in the business so long. Couldn't he at least score a big TV role? Or Lincoln commercial?

[quote]His autobiography was fairly interesting but he seems like such a bland guy.

If he's bland how come he writes an interesting book?

[quote] He comes off like a nice guy but...

OP, you're delusional

I thought he was good in Behind the Candelabra...

I heard the cast of WW despised him. You don’t ever see them tweet to him or be pictured with him

His politics are deplorable!

[quote]I heard the cast of WW despised him. You don’t ever see them tweet to him or be pictured with him

Right. In his book he talks about how the cast members kept him out of the loop in just about everything. He never explains why that happened.

I never found him attractive. He has box face with turkey vulture-esque eyes.

[quote]I heard the cast of WW despised him.

So did the cast of Brothers and Sisters. They all laughed that he would submit himself every year as a LEAD actor for the Emmys.

I wonder what the cast of Parks and Recreation thought of him, as he can't do comedy and stunk up every scene he was in.

His memoir was filled with incongruous expressions like "Well, golly!" In my head I ended up reading it in a Rick Steves voice.

I would've fucked him like the dirty slut he is.

He has worked steadily and he's a bore on talk shows and his life has not fallen apart, on the contrary. I don't think sucked on Parks & Rec but the bar was low - that show was comfort food at best.

[quote]His autobiography was fairly interesting

I mentioned this a couple of years ago. I read his and Melissa Gilbert, his one time fiance's books back to back. Melissa's first, chapter after chapter about Rob and how in love they were and then he went on location to film The Hotel New Hampshire" and she found out he was fucking Nastassja Kinski. She flew to his location and ended up breaking up with him there.

Then I read his book and I swear I think he mentions her twice in passing as his girlfriend Melissa. Couldn't be any more opposite. It was hilarious.

Kinski was several upgrades, so of course that is what he did.

[quote] Kinski was several upgrades

Why?

There was a whole chunk of that old thread on the Sally Field Programme about him.

He was unbearable to most of the cast and ended up making sure Calista was monkey in the middle, thereby alienating her from all of them, too.

His finest thespian moment

Does he talk about filming any of his nude scenes

R2 That's because he didn't write the book. There was a very good co-writer/ghost.

[Quote]Every other actor on the show got a big raise when it went large, and he got zip.

He has a $47m mansion next to Oprah in Montecito. I'm sure he's not broke

He is rich. Hmmm what would I do with a 10,000 square foot house

R27, come on Melissa, aren't you over it yet?

One of the luckiest people currently acting in Hollywood. Mediocre actor at best, good looking but not that sexy.

Haven't read his memoir yet—did he fuck me, too?

How the hell could Rob Lowe afford a $47 million house? I had no idea he was that rich.

R30 Only in the movie, Butchy.

Whenever they have parks and rec reunions or hang outs, he is never there.

Probably because he’s a republican trump apologist. He was cute when he was young, but now he has that plastic surgery face. Pass.

R30, did you want him to?

R25, jeez after seeing his house, I must be pretty lazy...

I'm sure he was auditioned on the casting couch. Does he mention THAT?

He IS bland! Famous for having a pretty face, that's pretty much it. It surprised me he expects to be taken seriously, during his big media blitz years back, I guess coinciding with his autobio. Rob's so insubstantial, It'd be like taking a piece of dryer lint seriously.

Super cute as I rewatch season 1 of WW. I thought he would be the Sam Malone of the show and be a main story line til the last episode , but boy did he get shoved aside. He must have pissed off Aaron and Tommy

Explains why he never got back into movies and other shows

His sex video is pretty effing hot. When he starts blowing the dude they're having the three way with... damn. You can't see it too well, but just the idea that this big famous hetro movie star is taking a dick in his mouth is super hot.

I never saw the video for many, many years after the scandal. Was surprises me is that at the time of the scandal, I don't recall anyone mentioning the gay aspect of the video. Just that the girl was young, and there may have been cocaine in the room.

R17 That was hilariously sad. Not that I blame her, he was basically perfect back then.

He just went golfing with Chris Pratt, nuff said.

You have to feel bad for his sons. Even today, he's miles more attractive than they are

He was once uncerimoniously and publicy dumped by - get this - Princess Stephanie of Monaco.

He was so hot wayyyy back then. But, agreed, he was terrible on Parks and Rec - comedy is not his thing. I did see a recent pic of him with Rashida Jones and Amy Poehler, though, so apparently they don't despise each other, at least.

R40 you are in charge of finding that video and, specifically, that scene. Do not come back here until you find a working link, ya hear?

[quote] You have to feel bad for his sons. Even today, he's miles more attractive than they are

So true, in their future I see an astronomical bill with a therapist

R42, yes, I remember they were the 'it' couple for a while.

How the hell did half-pint land him?!

[quote]His sex video is pretty effing hot. When he starts blowing the dude they're having the three way with... damn. You can't see it too well, but just the idea that this big famous hetro movie star is taking a dick in his mouth is super hot.

He's not actually blowing that guy. He's having sex with the girl on top of her and she's lifting up to blow the guy. It's hard to see but once you realize it, it's clear what's going on.

[quote]I never saw the video for many, many years after the scandal.

The video online is not the scandalous video.

Rob would video tape his sex acts all the time and the video that was circulated is of him, a friend and a girl they know who was of age.

[quote]Was surprises me is that at the time of the scandal, I don't recall anyone mentioning the gay aspect of the video. Just that the girl was young, and there may have been cocaine in the room.

Because there wasn't a gay angle and again the video online is not "the video" that guy him in trouble. That one you will never see - thank God.

He was so beautiful when he was younger it is like looking at a painting. Why the plain wife? Michael J Fox was cute and some people here say his wife is ugly ( I don’t agree) but she is a Miss Universe compared to Rob’s wife

I never found him hot until his VF cover. Then it was like Daddy! Growl.

R51 get your eyes checked, he's always been hot.

Just watched whichever video is available online (Pornhub). Tough to tell if rob is sucking his friend. Looks like it but can't tell. A couple of times you can see rob standing right in front of the camera with a damned good sized hard on.

R49, I don't agree Rob appears to be blowing the guy. You seem to have come here to do some damage control, we are not that gullible

Loved him in "The Grinder" -- but then he was basically playing a really self-involved, pretty actor who has returned to his hometown after losing his tv series and is (unknowingly) tormenting his lawyer brother (Fred Savage.) So probably not a big stretch.

R55, Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're doing "damage control!" Get real!

This topic has been discussed for over a decade on this thing.

If most people though Rob was blowing that guy (who was Justin Morritt who was interviewed about it!) there would have been non stop gossip about it for years.

"Remember that time Rob blew his friend in that tape!?!?" is not a conversation that happens because when most of us have seen it we realized what was going on.

1980s video quality was so shitty, it's hard to tell what's going on.

I remember last year there was a thread on his house, which I think he was selling. The house is fucking HUGE. It's been posted a couple of times in this thread. I wonder if he ever sold it.

Why is he on a speaking tour? Any good stories would make his publicist leave , he is no longer friends with his friends from early early Hollywood days, and his coworkers at best tolerance him when they don’t outright loathe him. What is he talking about, craft services and his workout routine? I’m sure any plastic surgery questions will not be answered

Rob didn't blow the guy in the video- a high quality version was around be back at the time.

As for Rob's money, he has never stopped working and kept building and upgrading his houses- with the same wife and no divorces. This all has been posted before, including his appeal to the state of CA regarding taxes.

Next.

He's always been gorgeous (and still is, if you ask me), but his acting has ranged from mediocre to tolerable and back again. He's always just been sort of ok in everything. He never makes a fool of himself at least. He seems aware that he won't be playing Hamlet or King Lear anytime soon and picks roles he won't make an ass of himself in. Decent flair for comedy, too. He wasn't scared to get naked, either, which is attractive.

He's a pleasant actor who's pleasant to look at. Not much else to it. I don't expect to see him winning any Oscars in the future, but he's been working steadily since he started out which is more than one could say for many of his peers at the time.

I saw him in Santa Barbara with standing in the Staples parking lot with his 10 speed. Anorexic.

Get fucking real r55, a video, IN THE 80s, with heart robber Rob Lowe sucking dick, and nobody mentioned? I would have been an scandal of monumental proportions and, let's be real, would been the end of his career.

People tend to see what they want to see

R= Liberace. But Rob def did not suck the D.

I admit I watched that video hoping hoping hoping to see some bi action. But the most I saw was Rob kinda watching the other guy with the girl. They never touched each other.

The only really kinky thing he did was go down on her after he came inside of her.

Does every man secretly like the taste of his own cum?

I've long thought he was one of the few people who could have sex with anyone he wanted - male or female.

It's probably difficult to not be an utter asshole when the entire world wants you. It's not an excuse of course, but it's some perspective.

Not a nice guy. Used to be a decent Democrat then he supported Arnold for governor because they were friends. I hadn't heard he'd gone full-monty deplorable. It's a shame for such an attractive man to become completely unfuckable but I suppose that's just the way it is these days.

He has a really weird relationship with the wife and they treat their household staff like shit.

R71 what is the deal with his wife and the relationship?

The wife is extremely frau-ish looking.

Pierce Brosnan's wife hasn't aged as well as he has, do we hate her too?

I'm hazy on the details, R72, but I believe a dog collar and dog bowl were used on Rob. If you did a datalounge google search on Rob Lowe you might come up with the old threads and more detail. I live nearby but I don't know them.

There were weird stories about both he and the wife fucking staff and also treating them like slaves. Not particularly unusual except that it hit the papers.

Link please. I'm calling bullshit.

Still waiting for the link to the "papers".

I used to know friends/college classmates of his parents. The parents, who were models, were said to be even better looking than him.

is he still a Republican?

I actually found him entertaining on Parks and Recs at first, but he should have been a short term character, and left after his initial story arc and maybe had an occasional appearance after that. It did not make a lot of sense for him to settle into that town for good. Although the show was probably beginning to decline by then as it was.

No one cares about this AGING HOMO.

He was one of the most gorgeous men to ever be in film. He still looks great. I, too, can't believe who he ended up marrying. Yikes.

R17, Melissa was LIVID she wasn't mentioned much in his book.

I'll leave him the second you saw the word, Rob!

I won't cry for him - if the internets is to be believed his net worth is $60,000,000

[quote]Link please. I'm calling bullshit.

I'm not that poster so you'll have to go and use Google to find out what was discussed back then. There were, however, two lawsuits against he and his wife by two former nannies who claimed that the couple were inappropriate with them. One claimed Rob was sexually inappropriate with her, the other claimed that Rob's wife was sexually inappropriate with her.

The first case was dismissed against his wife.

The second case was settled after the Lowe's threatened to counter sue once a judged ordered that their NDA was enforceable against the nanny. It also helped that the nanny's older sister came forward in court and said that the nanny was intentionally trying to extort money from the couple.

But you can go and find all of that on TMZ but according to those two nannies there was freaky stuff going on in that house.

Whatever led to him picking on Prince William and all of British manhood? So very strange.

[quote]Rob Lowe is apparently trying to start a royal feud, because he had nothing but scathing words for Prince William and the men of Britain during a recent interview with The Telegraph, published Tuesday.

[quote]When asked if he considered himself more or less vain than British men, the “Parks and Recreation” actor replied: “That’s a low bar. Can we talk about William?”

[quote]Lowe then took a few jabs at the Duke of Cambridge for his, let’s say, not insignificant scalp exposure, calling William’s hair loss “traumatic” and jokingly shaming him for not trying to fix it.

[quote]“I mean, the future king of your country let himself lose his hair! So when I say British men set a very low bar...” Lowe said. “Honestly, one of the great traumatic experiences of my life was watching Prince William lose his hair. He’s going to be the fucking king of England

[quote]but according to those two nannies there was freaky stuff going on in that house.

The two nannies who admitted they were trying to extort him? And pulled their complaints when he threatened to countersue? That’s how you know there was “freaky stuff” going on?

While it’s inappropriate, I wouldn’t say a male hitting on a female would be considered “freaky” anyway.

Wow, R83 - did not know Melissa Gilbert married the hideous ogre Timothy Busfield. Yikes.

This was on the Little House thread - but appropriate here.

R86 Hey Rob, worry about the looks in your own house

Sorry Melissa!

From a recent profile: "He’s handsome to the point of excess and charming to the point of too-muchness. He’s been on an unprecedented, nearly 40 year hot streak since he stole the coming-of-age classic The Outsiders from Tom Cruise. He kept Parks and Recreation going. He’s gotten the girls (Fawn Hall, Winona Ryder, Princess Stephanie of Monaco, his wife Sheryl)."

He was on Dr Phil last year shilling a skin care line he developed (uh huh) especially for Men, and giving samples to the fraus who were all swooning... anyone tried it?

“Over the course of my career, I have learned all the tricks of the trade for maintaining clean, healthy and younger-looking skin. I have taken that knowledge to another level in creating PROFILE™. Now, men everywhere can have the same benefits helping them look and feel their best.”

- Rob Lowe

I live for Mario Cantone !!!

I read his first book. It was so narcissistic. He stated in the 80s he could have any girls he wanted and took advantage of it. Yet we are to believe that he's been faithful to the same plain woman for 25 years. He also goes on and on about his craft. Nothing really mentioned about any of his costars on tv so that speaks volumes. And yes, poor Melissa got a passing sentence.

No one will ever love him like he does.

I think that he fucked Holly Robinson. They were classmates in high school.

R86 Well call me a newly minted fan. That level of out-of-nowhere gossipy rudeness must be celebrated!

It must kill him to have spawned such plain looking sons. On the other hand, I met Chad in passing. We chatted for a few minutes. He was nice.

Here's a link to the illustrious People magazine about the Rob and Mrs. Lowe 2008 sexual harassment scandal for that girl who doesn't know how to use google. (thank you r85 for helping out, I wasn't paying attention)

They killed the cases of both women who filed against them but I'm not sure they should have been allowed to do that. Whatever. The Lowes are still douches.

Also, his house isn't worth anywhere close to $42 million. Fires and mudslides in Montecito, remember? He's not crazy to sell up and get out, lots of people are doing it, but he's crazy if he thinks he can get top dollar.

Yep, R88, and that's well after everyone found out about him creeping on teenage girls at work.

[quote]The two nannies who admitted they were trying to extort him? And pulled their complaints when he threatened to countersue? That’s how you know there was “freaky stuff” going on? While it’s inappropriate, I wouldn’t say a male hitting on a female would be considered “freaky” anyway.

Are you okay R87? Do you need a nap? Did you actually read what they wrote happened or what the Lowe's say really happened? You know you can actually find the court documents on TMZ?

Also were you aware that was in response to someone posting a mention of another DL thread they didn't link to and I was saying that's the only thing I can find possibly relating to why that might have come up?

Also, please. Study reading comprehension.

No one admitted they were trying to extort him. I said one lawsuit was only about the wife. I said the other one was about Rob. I said the first was dismissed. I said the second was settled. I didn't mention anything about the chef that they sued for fucking people in their beds.

I also said you could think freaky stuff was going on (if any of that was true) but had you read anything relating to it or used Google you'd know that the major reason both cases were killed was because both the women signed NDAs which the Lowes could have enforced no matter what came of the cases.

He did the best fuck scenes in his movies.

Sorry, forgot the fucking link to the People magazine dreck.

The headline only mentions the wife being charged with sexual harassment. I could have sworn it was both of them, at least that was the story around here.

I didn't bother reading the dreck piece. If the anti-googler wants more she can go find it herself.

R103, Yes. There were two different lawsuits from nannies. The one against the wife, other than the racist stuff, wasn't that horrific. She only claimed the wife walked around naked and showed her Rob's sex toys. She also said she was racist. That one was dismissed. The one against Rob where that nanny claimed he stuck his hand down her pants, groped her from behind and would masturbate in front of her and show her his penis was pretty bad.

Recall a discussion of the Lowe's hosting swing parties where cuckold Rob was tied up and and treated like a dog while his wife went to town with everyone. Don't know if it's rumor or factual.

His autobiography describes his parents as narcissistic substance abusers and generally incompetent, his mother not even getting out of bed most mornings and shacking up with her psychiatrist. The latter did not bother to try and form a relationship at any time with her children. His initial move in to the family home was especially jarring.

The wife seems like those freaky frau looking women. I must state it seems like his wife had some work done to ber face to soften the Manish features. That is why is sons look so plain since they look like his wife.

He built the house for way way less than the current list price. It is priced way way over market and has been for sale for a while. He will get maybe 20/25 million for it and make a nice profit. Its called equity and it builds a lot faster in southern calif. Its also easy to lose your shirt playing that game. The house was featured several years ago in arch digestmagazine and that always adds a few million more in cache value.

I read his biog too and found it very good. He spent a lot of time on his Malibu childhood and I found it very intersting and somewhat harrowing. Growing up in Malibu was not the tranquil experience you would think it would be.

R107, that particular area of Montecito is incredibly difficult to unload. He's in the fire/mudslide zone.

You're about right on the price. He might get $20-22, I doubt he can get $25. It's carnage in Montecito these days.

Rob Lowe did not stand out in "The Outsiders." I remember C. Thomas Howell and Matt Dillon being the stand-outs. Tom Cruise had his original teeth. Patrick Swayze seemed too old (yes, he was supposed to be the oldest brother, but still). Ralph Macchio was more memorable than Rob Lowe.

I can't believe RL is so catty and petty regarding Prince William "letting" himself lose his hair. His wife is average-looking. I do suspect that he is bisexual. If he wanted a three-way, he could easily have had 2 women and 1 man (himself). Instead, he has 1 woman and 2 men.

Does anyone know what his sons do for a living? Or their college majors? Seems like they turned out OK compared to other super spoiled kids of elite Hollywood.

Stanford grad for one of the sons- maybe the same one in law school.

Doesn't matter what he gets for the house, it was all equity though previous sales and he can certainly afford the mortgage and upkeep. He is always working.

R110, one graduated from Stanford. The other graduated from Duke and is getting his law degree at Loyola.

No one in the biz wants to hang with him, right wing stuck up brat repug…..loathed by most who have met him

Is a joke.

Many claim his wife is a male to female.....

I wonder how many girls the sons have invited over who have "accidentally" flashed daddy

Of course it matters what he gets for the house, this is Montecito. He built a huge pile. He's been counting on $40-50 mil for years.

I understand he has equity. I understand he works. What I'm telling you is that for years those who got into Montecito early have been counting on those big bucks millions they were going to cash out on in their old age. Then the Thomas Fire and the mudslides hit and it was Rich White Armageddon around here.

He'll be fine. His wife and kids will be fine. All will be well. And he'll be lucky to get half of what he's been counting on and working toward for all these years out of that property. If we have more mudslides he may end up with less than even that. It's a different ballgame in Montecito these days.

R115, your post is barely worth a reply- but there are many people who would kill to have invested as badly as Rob did. Even if he gets less than half for the house. After all, you have to live somewhere- and all of his money isn't in one house.

Malibu is no picnic either. Or Napa Valley.

I never said he made a bad investment. Who the fuck was expecting Hellfire and Mudslide Armageddon in Montecito? An earthquake, sure, but not Armageddon. Yes, Malibu and Ventura and Carpinteria and lots of towns are devastated. Much of what people were counting on, hoping for, building towards, was lost.

I'm sorry if that doesn't mean anything to you or doesn't seem important. It's still one of the main topics of conversation in this area. People of means are coming out of it all right, it's easier to take the hit. The Lowes have means, they'll be fine. I have no idea what middle-class and working-class people are doing. They lost everything and they aren't coming out of it all right.

Apparently you think I'm insulting you personally in some way. I'm just talking about my town and what's going on here.

He never did it for me. He looked like a supremely pretty sears catalogue model to me.

He can't act his way through a paper bag if there were a mirror on the other side, either.

I find the poster who's writing about Montecito interesting.

I always wondered why he didn't change his name, since it sounds so much like Rob Blow.

I only liked him when he was playing a scumbag. Gorgeous, obviously, but mostly uninteresting unless he was a bad guy.

Rob Blow was the name of the video that was sold from the Democratic convention.

He was hot AF in Masquerade with Doug Savant and DL fav Kim Catrall.

California has a history of fires, and historically areas always come back. I lived in Laguna Beach during the 1993 fire (and floods), with almost 500 homes lost. Everyone was preaching doom and gloom, but check out home prices today. An old apartment converted to condo is at least a million bucks. Peoples memories are short.

Bel Air fire in the 60s, the more recent San Diego fire and so many more, and as mentioned previously Napa.

Montecito is not an isolated or unique case. And if these continue because of climate change, it won't matter where you live cause you're fucked rich or poor.

why do people spit at him when they find out he is a repug pig?

Does his wife know he has lots of gals on the side? I would think so.....

He's friends with the Repub moderate group like the Schwarzeneggers.

Sorry, I missed that the People Mag article was posted. That was the PR-friendly version of the story so I can't imagine what the truth was.

How can Rob touching you be anything but heaven?

[quote]He's friends with the Repub moderate group like the Schwarzeneggers.

You think Maria Shriver is a Republican? Can anyone link anywhere Lowe identified as a Republican? If it's in his book I certainly don;t remember that and I would have.

do her scarf cover up the bruises????

He was unexpectedly hilarious in “Wayne’s World” and held his own with SNL vets Carvey and Meyers.

I also found his out of left field bitchy Prince William threads bizarrely funny.

He clearly has an ego, but I always here that most Hollywood known for being “pretty” do.

I don’t really care about any actor’s politics or religious beliefs, just what they do in their career.

At least he is an entertaining actor and personality (in my opinion).

Always *hear* (not always here!)

Sorry for spelling errors!

Rob and Mike Meyers reunited for a Wayne’s World screening in Beverly Hills...

LOL, R97!

The unnecessarily bitchy Prince William comments by Lowe *should* be a thing on DL, it’s a very DL thing to do...

And then he went on to attack the looks of an entire nation; it could have been a datalounge parody thread ;)

The pic at R135 makes Mike Myers look like a frightened penguin.

[quote] When he starts blowing the dude they're having the three way with... damn. You can't see it too well

You can't see it well BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I've seen the full video many times and at no time did he come anywhere close to sucking that guy's cock. Wishful thinking on your part.

At least we know he doesn't wear a wig.

He's always had feminine features which have gotten weirder as he's aged. Equally weird is his career path which now include hosting a game show on Fox, and a touring one man show about his life. I think he's gross and oily, but watchable in a car crash way. At least his two kids are educated and appear to be decent.

For those of you who have read the book: please tell us more about Rob’s allegedly traumatic childhood in Malibu!

In R86's post.. Lowe comes across as a colossal asshole. So what if William has hair loss? Many men (and women, too) lose hair. Men can get away with it... so, so what?

He's a shill for Atkins diet products (the bars! the shakes!) now. Ads are on TV constantly.

Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy in 1983’s “Class”...

Does anyone know if Rob and Chad Lowe are close? Are they each other’s only siblings?

Chad generally seems more humble and low key...

Wow, I guess a lot of beauty and “youthful” aging is really down to “good genes”...

Rob and Chad’s dad Chuck has aged really well for an older man....

Proof that propecia works

very telling that most who work with him cant stand his old fake ass....

That poor kid, when your dad AND grandfather are hotter than you.

The kids definitely look like the mother, but they both seem intelligent and will have money. 2 outta 3.

Do his kids hate him as much as people who have worked with him???

wonder what they really think of pervy daddy.....

Screwing the help is so, so tacky and trashy.

Yes, well no wonder he has so much in common with Arnold.

R148, R152, they are still young, that may change. The ugly duckling may turn into a swan

When will they blossom into beauties, 40, 50?

R143, Many detailed stories about "the lost boys of Malibu" and how strangely so many died in their young teens. Book is very easy to read, light & entertaining. Too much info to accurately summarize.

Touches on the gay aspect being that he's an actor and was somewhat bullied in high school. Insecurities due to being much poorer than his classmates and fellow aspiring teen actors. One could easily see why the casting couch seemed like a viable alternative.

Mother didn't appear to be either financially or emotionally at all stable. Played around with hotties but sought a dominating, far stronger parental figure in his wife.

R151 Agreed hahahahahahahahaha

[quote]Do his kids hate him as much as people who have worked with him???

His kids take turns making fun of him on social media when he posts anything. They seem to have a great relationship. A couple of years ago they were all on Ellen and Fallon promoting their tv series, "The Lowe Files" where they all went to haunted locations. One of the sons even worked on a couple of his projects in production.

[quote] Can anyone link anywhere Lowe identified as a Republican? If it's in his book I certainly don;t remember that and I would have.

He did "endorse" Trump years ago in 2011 before he actually ran. Trump donated money to one of his charities.

Otherwise the only thing he has said on it directly is this:

[quote]“I find [political parties] both highly overrated,” Lowe told the Times. “Each day another state makes it OK for my 18-year-old ― any 18-year-old ― to go and buy pot like he’s buying a Pepsi-Cola, and so let’s face it: In the United States, recreational drug use is sort of acceptable. Belonging to one party is acceptable. But my days of just ticking the party box are long over. I judge the candidates for who they are.” The actor added: “My thing is personal freedoms, freedoms for the individual to love whom they want, do with what they want. In fact, I want the government out of almost everything.”

He does seem to favor right leaning/conservative topics and issues but recently in his act on stage he has been making fun of Trump. The kids are clearly not Republican. He seems to dawdle in the middle, probably so he can keep working but I think it's clear he's mostly a Republican.

R152 Only one out of three. Kiddo is none too bright with zero insight. The benefits of wealth are what got him into Stanford - yet he fingerpoints at his rich compatriots re the Varsity Blues scandal: "It's really really gross."

“I studied for MONTHS for the SAT. Twice, sometimes three times a week. Tons of practice tests. Ended up taking the SAT multiple times as well. College apps were no joke… the amount of stress kids put into that to potentially lose a spot to someone unfairly is horrible,” he tweeted.

“And let me say: I’m incredibly grateful that I had the privilege and opportunity to have a tutor and to afford practice test programs. A lot of kids don’t. And to think of them losing their chance at their dream school to someone undeserving is really, really gross.”

In R147’s photo, Chad Lowe looks like Justin Long and Rob like Hillary Swank.

[quote]Only one out of three. Kiddo is none too bright with zero insight. The benefits of wealth are what got him into Stanford - yet he fingerpoints at his rich compatriots re the Varsity Blues scandal: "It's really really gross."

Zero insight? He says right there he had, "the privilege and opportunity to have a tutor and to afford practice test programs. A lot of kids don’t." He knows the reason he got in was because his dad had money to get him tutors AND that not everyone has that.

And yes, he was right to point fingers at the Varsity Blues Scandal parents who DIDN'T get their kids tutors, practice tests and classes and bribed people with money instead.

At the end of the day he still had to take his SAT tests and do the work and since he graduated he apparently did well enough to stay in school.

So he got in thanks to his rich parents. But he's sad for the kids who don't have the money for endless tutoring, and multiple tries to pass a test that he's been tutored to pass: "it's really really gross".

Rob was wailing a few years back that his kid didn't want to go to uni, and once he got there he wanted to quit. Rob said that wasn't an option. Just another rich Hollywood family wanting the prestige, and connections, of their kid going to an Ivy league school.

Why not just follow in the family business of show business? That's what they all want to do in life - Be a 'Star'.

Like he said in his grad photo "we did it!".

I, like many others, managed to graduate without a stick of help from anyone. Hard work and student loans. Couldn't have afforded any 'tutoring' - which was for the slower kids anyways. "I" did it.

You don't need a "tutor" to study for standardized tests (SAT, etc.). You do need to buy the study guides, which are basically tests from the past, a slew of them. Then you need to do test after test to get faster and to detect patterns for "correct" answers.

Thank you Mr. Ben Carson for that "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" philosophy. None of this diminishes the fact that he needed help, he got it and his parents didn't spend 500K to pay off a company to look the other way while he took the test, fake photos of him on special teams or pay off faculty members which they could have.

Rob Lowe made quite a lot of money after the middle eastern investment group he's part of sold off Miramax for almost twice what they bought it for.

I didn't. You didn't. That's fine. I bought the books (first the SATs then later when I took the GRE) to learn how the tests wanted me to take them. They taught me how to estimate the answers in math when the first time I took it I was actually solving every problem completely. I ran out of time. The second time on both I did much better.

My parents didn't have the money to get a tutor for me but I'm not angry with kids who could get one. I'm more annoyed at the kids that cheated the system entirely and I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling that way whether you took the test with tutoring help or without.

There's a difference between working the system (the Lowe kids) and completely cheating the system (Lori, Felicity, et al)

Why does he, along with the rest of his rich, academically indifferent peers, need to go to an Ivy League school when he's not an Ivy League academic? Hmmm?

And he's weeping for the poor less advantaged kids, sniffing tears that those 'other bad people' took their rightful place. He, of course, deserves to be there. Thank you Bank of Dad. And whatever else it took.

There are hundreds of other colleges that he and his peers could have attended with their level of academia - but no, it's gotta be IVY League for the snobbery. So many of these kids don't want to go to any college - but pushy parents insist. Why? They have no interest and they're set for life financially. So yeah, they're taking space from a deserving applicant - maybe someone who could actually make a difference in the future. Not there for the thrill of hanging out on some big wig's yacht and collecting names and numbers.

So they - the parents - skate the system any way they can. Some legal, some shadier. Shrug. Nothing new. The out-and-out bribes were over the top but on the same sliding scale of unfair advantage. But Johnny and his Dad were proudly declaring that they are better than their peers. ( and then took the post down ) NO, no they are not. All cut from the same cloth holding themselves in high regard, then lauding over everyone else, because they're rich - therefore they can.

barf.

btw, for the record, I don't dislike Rob Lowe at all. It's the need for those with plenty to keep hoovering up all the resources that's infuriating. This is just a tiny example, but an easy target since it's Hollywood, baby! and they love the limelight so much.

Just an FYI, Stanford and Loyola are not Ivy League schools.

Only reason why I said you don't need a tutor to study for SATs, etc., is for those DLers out there who need to allocate money and are trying to get into colleges. (Get the books & do the sample tests over and over ... and over.)

All the comments on R160's vid are: Sucks your dad is hotter than you.

For someone as vain as Rob, that must kill him inside.

OK maybe I’m thinking of someone else. I could’ve sworn one of his kids went to UVA and was interning for a conservative Congressman

My God you would think that his kids were like Demi Moore’s daughters. Rob has been famous pretty much his whole life and has had access to gyms, grooming, surgeries, whatever he does to keep his looks. His kids appear normal and do normal activities. We’ll see where they are in 10 years compared to other celebrities kids. Also, I am sure even compared with their rich and handsome friends they are better looking than most

I do not care about RL, but I was expecting Shrek and Gollum with these comments. His kids are completely fine. Only on the DL are they considered hideous

I think the problem is that he is so exceptional good looking, that you expect his kids to be nothing less than the same.

The wife is no looker either, but she's kept him sober- good for her.

[quote]For those of you who have read the book: please tell us more about Rob’s allegedly traumatic childhood in Malibu!

He grew up in Va and moved to Ca in his teens.

even his neighbors laff at him, that white elephant of a house.....sad

Exactly R175. They're not hideous, but they are the very average looking sons of an exceptional looking, very vain man. I'm pretty sure only DL Fave Bryan Singer would choose a night with them over Pops.

R171 Rob's sons look like a combo of their mother (pre cosmetic intervention) and his brother Chad.

I'd be more inclined to think it's the boys who are dying inside that all the women (and guys) are besotted with Rob's exceptional looks and still drawn to him like magnets to steel, while their very average appearance doesn't merit a second glance. For young guys coming into their own, it must be tough to know they'll never compete with the old man as chick/dick magnets. Or be as famous.

But they're financially set for life, so that'll be a big enough draw so they to won't ever be too lonely. And their playmates will all want to meet Rob. And maybe snag a very hot FIL on the side.

His book was so fucking boring. No dirt. Cried that is part in Outsiders was cut. I am with the others. How did the hell can he afford that house. Handsome, but tons of men in California are. Not a very good actor.

He was sizzling hot for a quick minute in the 80s. I used to wank to his shirtless pics a lot when I was like 13 and when Youngblood came out. I was in love with him after seeing The Hotel New Hampshire. Then suddenly in the 90s he lost it all. I'm not sure what happened but that little special something in his face was permanently gone. It didn't help that the articles about his sex tape made him seem like an asshole who thinks very highly of himself. I lost all interest in him.

He's now got bird like features that are too feminine in some weird nasty way. He seems totally unlikeable inside and out. There's something so utterly fake and unauthentic about his screen presence today that I find it really hard to watch him in anything.

The first time I saw him was at Nate N Al on a Sunday morning waiting in line for breakfast. This was right after Outsiders, and of course I knew who he was. He had on a white T-shirt, and skin tight jeans with no underwear. He was breathtaking. Even my dad said he was the most beautiful man he had ever seen.

[quote] He grew up in Va and moved to Ca in his teens.

Actually he was born in Virginia, but pretty much grew up in Dayton, Oh. He went to high school there before his mother moved them to California.

[quote] How can he afford that house.

He bought that house 14 years ago. I'm quite sure the purchase price then was a mere fraction of his ridiculous asking price of $47 million now. A price he'll most likely never get.

A man like that doesn’t want his sons to be as handsome as him...he would hate the competition.

omg the shit the cast of parks n rec say bout asswipe Lowe, so funny

I fell in lust with him when I saw him for the first time in [italic]Oxford Blues[/italic].

He was stunning.

There was a scene where he was deciding what to wear and kept changing clothes in the ‘80s trope, and he’d be in his underwear. Made my young naughty bits swell just a little.

R185, I posted the info on another thread. Rob and his wife have built a few homes, including the one for sale. He made quite a profit off the last one.

Plus, he pretty much had been working non-stop since he was a kid.

wifey looks old enuf to be his mommy....kinky!

i don't know why, but George Michael came to mind when I saw Op's pic.

Ok, maybe I'm not so crazy after all.

Sad what shitty roles he has been reduced to to pay the rent. Is he near bankruptcy?

I don't believe the rumors that he fuk/suked his way to the bottom.....

R194, we should all be so near bankruptcy.

I actually think that Chad is cuter. And definitely a better actor.

[quote]But they're financially set for life, so that'll be a big enough draw so they to won't ever be too lonely.

How the hell do you know what their fiances are?

Probably still has a nice anus

Regarding his kids I have always heard that beautiful parents often have kids that are never as beautiful. I have not found evidence of any from parks and Rec talking about him. AP went to his Comedy Central roast. He is friends with Chris Pratt

[quote]How the hell do you know what their fiances are?

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Now someone’s getting married??

He really will do anything for a buck. The Fox gameshow proves that. He and Brooke Shields will hawk anything just to keep themselves out there. No one wants a West Wing reboot more than Rob. It must have killed him when Allison Janney won the Oscar.

Once you're in the system, it's easy money (acting on a TV show).

R124, After it burned down, the rains came and big chunks of Montecito slid down the hill and into the sea.

Not unheard of in California but I can't recall it ever happening in this town before. Those properties that slid down in the mud and were completely destroyed? It took the land with it and it's not coming back.

Amazing he can show his face in public due to the amount of people who consider him a joke and skuzz bag.

His one man show seems to be doing well.

more amazing is that he is still hired for jobs, being a banal right wing republican,,,,,,he is looking old and haggard. I pity his kids.

Why would you pity his kids? They have good educations, haven't been in trouble and seem to love him.

[quote] Amazing he can show his face in public due to the amount of people who consider him a joke and skuzz bag.

Please! Most of the general public either don't remember his little hotel room tryst, don't care anymore, or are too young to even know about it. Only chat board queens jealous of his fame & fortune keep harping about it.

Lowe is a Republican? Sad.

I'm not believing he is difficult to work with, considering he never stops working. Word spreads quick if your an asshole, and he's not A list for people to put up with shit.

Oh, yes, r123 - and IMHO Masquerade is memorable for the Rob Lowe/Meg Tilly lovemaking scene; to date, it remains one of, if not the, most passionate sex scenes I've seen onscreen (outside the pron realm of course).

bad kharma, bad energy, bad mojo..

I'd eat his ass up to his tonsils.

I think he's doing a lot better than many of his counterparts from the brat pack.

ude have to get past his red gooey hemmoroids to eat his fukhole that deep, dear

And there goes breakfast.

Thanks!

R217, I'll take my chances- but I'm sure you have a vast knowledge of hemorrhoids, hunty.

[quote]Lowe is a Republican? Sad.

No, no one has been able to produce a single thing about him being Republican. Just some jealous troll.

Read his tweets. He’s a Republican.

His wife is a female? man she looks,,,,,,,odd

Why she's not a knockout beauty, must be MTF!

Anyone see his remake of The Bad Seed (with Patty McCormick playing a psychiatrist?!) on Lifetime? No? You're not alone. Lowe switched the single parent to male so he could star AND direct. Awful.

In a news piece that looks like mad Libs, he was just hired to play a guest on Fred Savage’s fake talk show that talks about a fake sci-fi show that just ended based on a fake book. It is on Fox.. You can’t make this up if you tried

Is having his sex tape remastered in 4K too much to ask for?

[quote]Read his tweets. He’s a Republican.

I just did, lots of sports, his game show and charity work and charity work is anti-Republican.

I never hear gossip about him sleeping around yet can't believe with his ahole past that he's been faithful.

[quote]r18 Kinski was several upgrades

[quote]r19 Why?

He was with Melissa Gilbert before Natassia Kinski (sp) you know she was a little homely. That’s why it’s an upgrade.

don't tell, but rob has had a shit load of plastic surgery, subtle but somewhat effective, , he aint young.

If he's had a "shitload" of plastic surgery, I want the name of his doctor. He looks good for 55 and stays in great shape. I'm thinking more good genes, after seeing his father.

He looks like a good version of his age in this recent photo. However he’s wearing light makeup here. He has posted Instastories from his home where he isn’t wearing makeup and the man has freckles that you can’t see here.

I’m on the side of: he has probably has had little to nothing done.

its good surgery when u cant tell they've had much done.

im his facelift scars, im bound tight and I may pop at any moment and his last 25 yrs will come crashing down in a cascade of wrinkles, yea.

I'd love a West Wing reboot but don't think it will ever happen. He seemed to be unlinked and AJ is in another series and her career is too hot to go back.

Kinski was edgy and became popular b/c of this snake poster. She had a child with, Quincy Jones.

bitch is a right wing repug

may she go bankrupt and live in the crackland of downtown LA, with her fugly wife sellin her cooch.

R237, I hope you are seeing a therapist. Anger like that isn't healthy.

I go to robs shrink and she spills the beans.

Why should a person or Hollywood personality not have the right to their own political beliefs? Everyone, even here is not a progressive Socialist. Freedom is free choice.

[quote]My parents didn't have the money to get a tutor for me but I'm not angry with kids who could get one.

Oh, but you DID have enough money to buy study guide books? You are so privileged.

r109, I was in The Outsiders too, you know

Yes, and you married Paula. Bye!

You're not going to believe how out of sight it's going to be

This hint of a nipple was heaven for little gay me

Did Rob find this thread?

Kudos to Rob for overcoming early minor scandal, having successful career and loving family.

Gays can be so "Bitchy."

OMG he looks like my mailman!

He looks like your mailman’s mother

Those Sears trousers are a little high wasted, Rob

Why Diana Ross shakin hands with that white boy?

It's probably a golf tournament, calm down girls!

I feel sorry for his two sons who have to live with the fact that their father is still better looking than they are.

I have never been able to get over that bizarre concave jawline. It's gotten worse with age. I never though he was attractive even in his best days. I felt like the media and tabloids said "he's attractive" and we all had to play along. but no one really attracted to him.

The kids all look like the ugly mother.

R19, Are you seriously asking? Are you using a Braille computer?

He golfed with Chris Pratt a few hours before Pratt got married this weekend. Two douche bros.

[that bizarre concave jawline]

Puppet Mouth

Trump thinks Rob Lowe is hot.

Yeah, we had to be told he was beautiful. Fool.

He's still a panty-dropper.

fukd his way to the bottom.....again.

R266, you are tedious and boring.

Chris Pratt gave up working out again.

He is insanely hot on the WW. He had a huge role. He definitely pissed someone off for it to be so diminished

[quote]Chris Pratt gave up working out again.

Chris Pratt was, is and will always be a fat boy, as millions of boys are. He works out when he is paid to.

There's something adorable about him.

I was in an elevator with him, very shocked at how old he looked, had that weird stretched a while back kind of face lift look,

bit scarey….

Rob now says he wants a reboot of the WW with, of course, Sam Seaborn as president. I guess the game show host life isn't all it's cracked up to be.

He's got 2 movies already filmed.

He has a new crime show in the UK (ITV) called Wild Bill.

The guy never stops working. It's not cheap maintaining an estate like he owns.

I must be the only one who thinks that Melissa Gilbert has always been ugly. And her recent plastic surgery is only making her look worse.

Me.issa now claims that she has sworn off all Botox and fillers. Her Instagram pics do kind of confirm that.

For not being the most attractive, Melissa certainly scored some prime dick. I'd forgotten she was married to Bruce Boxleinter.

But now she's married to Timothy Busfield. Not exactly on the level as Rob or Bruce.

Give her time. This is marriage 3 for both.

hope hallmark channel hires him, he needs $$$ bad, winter cumin, they need logs for warmth....

poor guy jus old, should retire to his big old house...

Tell the Truth ....... . He is and always was hotter than a [italic] Caftan On Fire.

He was hosting the Tom Petty Sirius show the other day. As far as I can tell he disk t know him and was just a fan when he was younger. RL is everywhere

I saw him backstage at a Springsteen concert in the mid eighties. This was before Patti and Bruce were married. She was all over Rob like she was a high school girl.

his claim to fame: banging gals yea

He was so hot in the 80's in my teens, but he seems like he has a bad personality

Known for his pervy energy vibes.

avoid

He has been good and/or fun in everything he has been in; the hate here for him is just weird....

Because he's everything most DLers aren't, rich and still handsome for his age.

Bradley Whitford has openly yelled at him on Twitter and was definitely not joking . No one from WW talks to him, tweets him, or includes him in their reunions with each other. I think Rob is best friends with Rob

He's like the prettier version of Tom Cruise without the charisma or acting chops. Not that Cruise doesn't have a weird charisma but he has "it".

His sons seem normal. I doubt they will make headlines for anything truly bad . He has good advisors bc it’s not like they truly need college. Look at the Willis Girls, barely educated and mom doing whippets like the 17 year olds she desperately wants to look like. I remember reading years ago she has a half million dollars of plastic surgery including her knees. Her daughters don’t have a chance.

They've already made headlines, R295 for being ugly as sin.

The sons are hardly ugly.

Of course not. As I said earlier they are only considered ugly on DL. They are normal kids and luckily their dad and mom are not Cindy and Rande. We will see how well those 2 Instagrams stars are doing in 10 years.
