Mr. Midler Gets Muscled

"First Wives Club" star Bette Midler needs to show off her hubby more often! Bette was posing for pics during Fashion Week in NY when her husband decided to join her -- but security had other plans! A guard tried to physically remove Bette's man, Martin von Haselberg -- but Marty wasn't havin' none of that! He told security, "I'm her f**king husband!" You can't blame them, no one knows who the eff he is!


Ms. Midler quickly confirmed that he was indeed her beloved, and security apologized. That's no way to treat the wind beneath her wings!

31. I had no idea she was married. I knew she loved sex though.

32. I've seen Martin out with Bette several times socially, and he is a polite, funny guy. (and very supportive of his wife!) Anyone who know's Midler are quite aware of the fact that she does not suffer fools gladly. If Martin is in her life, after 20 years, he has earned it. They make a great couple, and their daughter is a gem.

33. Papparazzi fans-
They are one of the very few marriages to have survived "starship enterprise", been married for years, have a great , smart kid...why else would Johnnie Carson pick her as his last guest!!


Been a fan for many years- one of the people who has remained interesting and contributing to this world.Thanks Bette!

34. Mr Von Hasselberg is extremely well known comic in Europe. He is a gentleman and a REAL MAN...not like the things passing for men over here.

35. Just for the record, I love and have always been in love with Bette Midler. In fact, my wife is aware of the fact that I'd leave her for Bette Midler. That's ok though because at this point in time my wife would leave me for Pee Wee Herman!

36. This guy could have been a wacko-nut-case out to get Bette ... her husband should have thanked security for being so diligent instead of cursing them out ... what an ass.

38. Why is every one upset ?? It is Bette who is married too him, and must love him or she would not be with him. He might be the greatest guy in the world at home. Mind your own business. GOD, how you people like to sling your remarks. I think if Bette is happy with him, that is all that matters.

39. To comment #36, Your telling people to mind their own business but then you make a comments about the same thing and also make suppositions about how they feel. Doesnt make sense why you even blog in.

40. Maybe she doesn't need security with hubby around. He looks like he can certainly handle himself. I love Bette and now I think her husband's a cool dude too.

41. why dont ya/all just stop making cruel comments,bette midler is a super star,.......you all are going to age like it or not..........and from what i see walking around the towns/cities,not too many people look half as good as he does ..so those of you that live in glass houses ,shouldn't throw stones..

42. I really didn't see any need for any of the comments, period.

43. In defense of the security, Bette's husband approached her tentatively, as would a less aggressive fan. He seems stiff and uncomfortable, probably tired of being in her shadow.

44. All these comments on how he LOOKS are so ridiculous.
The fact that he loves and supports his wife, and that she loves him are
a bit more important than his appearance. Maybe that's why their marriage
has stood the test of time...unlike Britney and all these other losers that
are married for fifteen minutes. Ever hear of Mr. von Haselberg doing anything
stupid? No. Because he's an adult.

Y'all grow up. Nobody asked YOU to marry him. They're sane and happy. Amen.

45. Bette is proof positive that you can have a successful public life and keep your private life private. She is not getting out of limos "commando" or shaving her head or going to Promises. Her husband and daughter have been kept out of the public eye for a reason. PRIVACY!!! I respect her for that. Security should have check it out before they tried to oust him. Do you hear scandal about Matt Damon, Ben and some other successful film stars. Pacino, DeNiro which they did raise hell - never had the bad publicity that is so prevalent today. Kudos to those to can keep their private life PRIVATE!
