Is Millepied a K-Fed or a Baryshnikov?


I've seen a good number of articles like this one popping up on various celebrity gossip blogs, contending that Benjamin Millepied poked holes in his condoms and is basically just after Natalie Portman for fame and money – I guess like Kevin Federline arguably was with Britney Spears. Millepied has always seemed kind of like a romantic, like a Balanchine, always falling for his muses, so it didn't really faze me when I heard he was dating the latest ballerina he'd choreographed on. Of course I don't know him, and everything on those blogs is hearsay. I'm more interested in the public perception though.


I'm just wondering if anyone remembers well the Baryshnikov era. Was Baryshnikov similarly attacked for impregnating Jessica Lange? I was a very small child when that all happened but it seemed like the public just adored him, the two of them together. Or maybe that was just me lost in my little girl ballerina dreams. Actually, come to think of it, I don't remember when the two first became a couple; I have no memory of him until they'd already split and I was terribly jealous of their beautiful daughter because she got to go to the White Nights premiere with her father in Hollywood. Anyway, if he was perceived differently, I wonder what is different.


In other Hollywood/ballet gossip, Aaron Sorkin is allegedly dating ABT's Jacqueline Reyes.
