Reaction to the Tim Robbins-Susan Sarandon split

As it turns out, "WTF?!" was also the reaction today of many Robbins fans upon learning that the actor and his longtime partner, Susan Sarandon, had separated after more than 20 years together.

Our friends at the Ministry of Gossip blog report that Sarandon's publicist has confirmed the split and that no further comments are forthcoming. The couple had reportedly separated during the summer.

Robbins and Sarandon were often cited by journalists and other celebrities as a rare example of an enduring Hollywood relationship. The couple has two sons together, Jack, 20, and Miles, 17. Sarandon has a daughter, the actress Eva Amurri, from a previous relationship.

Known for their outspoken liberal politics, Robbins and Sarandon have riled everyone from Academy Award telecast producers to conservative pundits.

2. Who cares?

If they want to split up, it's their business and no one elses.

7. I'm sad for them. Like I'm sad about any partners splitting up.

But these two are very special to me. I photographed them railing against Bush in Washington Sept. I think it was 25, 06.
I love their artistry.
It's a disappointment, to me they are such a fine team.

Explains why last night with Letterman Susan never mentioned Tim.

9. It's none of our fucking business

We get these distractions and the media drives the hype.

Balloon Boy which should have never been more than local news. Michael Jackson, Jon and Kate, Tiger Woods.


WHO GIVES A SHIT!

10. Who the heck cares?

Man, I loved Tim Robbins in The Shawshank Redemption and Susan, I just love her in any ole thang! I'm broken up over this break up. :(

12. I'm sad for their kids. It takes many years for kids to get over the divorce of their

parents and all that comes with it.

[AllentownJake]

18. They were never married

I think their kids will be ok, they are at the age when Kids explore on their own their who they are.
