31. I think it's sad for anyone to have to go through a divorce especially when children are involved. Im so very sad to hear it. Why is it that everytime someone disappears off television people think that they are doing bad. Don't you know that celebrities want their peace just like we do. After all they are us.

39. why do people have to be so mean and narrow minded, and assume things about people and things they know nothing about, he is a talented man both acting and dancing and people assume he is gay because of that thats just plain stupidity, he is getting divorced and that alone is heart breaking for anyone especially when thery're are children involved so please people cant we just respect that and him enough to keep the nasty comments to our selves and wish him and his child and wife x or not well thanks for letting me express my opinon wich we all have and are allowed too living in the usa

40. everyone goes through some kind of break up in life,we should'nt want bad for others if we don;t want it for ourselves.and stop saying he's gay to all those haters out there.did you catch him in an act with another man,i guess not ,judge not less you want to be judged.
