Hirosue divorced in March.

Thanks for the classy reminder as a PS. Why not "Miss Divorcist"?

How about her child? And what does she think now about "shotgun" weddings?

I thought lily where for a grave?

yes, not exactly a great role model. all giggles and long flowing hair, but besides that, we have someone who couldn't finish college (or did she?), got pregnant, married, got divorced. but then again, it seems to be the norm for Jp tarentos and some baseball players.

Shotgun weddings are the absolute pits, got to agree with Electric2004. They seem passe now back home, used to be the done thing up till the 70s or 80s, but still the "correct" thing to do in Japan still /sigh.
