Removed from article (probably temporarily)

The Stamoses are widely known as one of Hollywood's most sexually liberal couples. They often throw nude parties at their California home.

This is quite a strong statement and needs a cite, please. Thanks for your patence with me. Pete 23:44, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

It was my first inclination to remove it too, but then I thought maybe I'm not clued in enough to the Hollywood scene, or watch the Tonight Show sufficiently, or something. I think the key is "widely known". If this is something that is widely believed or even talked about, then it is something that should be in the article, even if it's not really true (as long as the article clearly states this). But if this is something that is not widely discussed, and it is not a big deal to people, then maybe it should not be included, even if it's true, because then it would just be trivia. --RoyV 06:55, 24 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Considering she is now divorced, maybe the article should be moved to "Rebecca Romijn" with "Rebecca Romijn-Stamos" as a redirect. MK2 04:26, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Now that the divorce is official, and being as there have been no objections, I've gone ahead and moved the article to Rebecca Romijn. MK2 06:16, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• • In future, please don't use cut-and-paste to move pages, as it loses authorship history (e.g. it currently looks like you wrote Rebeccea Romijn, but really it was written by all the people listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rebecca_Romijn-Stamos&action=history). To move a page, use the "move" button found near the edit this page button. Thanks. Pcb21| Pete 12:11, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• • • Sorry. I didn't know how that feature worked. I'll use it next time if I move another article. MK2 03:33, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Great, thanks! Pcb21| Pete 07:09, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jerry O'Connell: Trainer?

Part of the article says that Rebecca "had recently been trained by Jerry O'Connell for her role in X-Men: The Last Stand"...what in the world does that mean? What special skills could O'Connell have imparted to Rebecca?? -- Jalabi99 06:29, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Probably morphing from a Fatty (Jerry was once pretty rotund) into a sveltely shaped lass (Rebecca has been looking chunky in some photos).--64.79.15.17 19:33, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Last Name

As far is I know, her last name is pronounced "Ro-main" /ɹoˈmeɪn/, not "Ro-mine" /ɹoˈmaɪn/. Both IMDb and the fansite in the external links agree with me. Is there any evidence that it's pronounced "Ro-mine"? SigmaEpsilon → ΣΕ 16:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Should there be evidence? Being a dutchman myself I can say that her (dutch) name is pronounced as Ro-mine. There are a lot of dutch words that are almost the same as the english words. Romijn is pronounced as Ro-mine. Like the dutch word for wine is "wijn" and is pronounced as "wine".

Rubbish, "wijn" is pronounced "vain" /veɪn/. Sorry "dutchman".

Rubbish???? Are you telling me how to pronounce dutch?? That's the funniest thing I have ever heard. "Wijn" is pronounced like "vain" ??? Wow. That has to be in the dutch newspapers tomorrow. All those time everyone in the Netherlands is speaking the wrong way. LOL Maybe you should read this article on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_language#Dutch_as_a_foreign_language Off course, the words do no sound exactly the same but the words are close relatives. Another example? The dutch "ij" sounds the same as for example the german "ei" in "Einstein" or "Calvin Klein". Like the german word for wine is wein and again still sounds the same. But maybe I'm wrong and do you pronounce Einstein like "Einstaine"?

Rebecca Romijn herself would put you straight if you called her Ro-mine: "It's Romaine - like the lettuce" according to her. But I guess she does not have any say in this, you are going to tell her what her name is.

I haven't spoken Rebecca lately. Maybe you have?? Ask anyone in the netherlands how to pronounce her name and you will get Ro-mine. But I guess you know best, like all other stuburn americans, how to pronounce a dutch name or other foreign words. I won't even go into other dutch names like Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Paul Verhoeven, it's obvious americans don't care. You just make something up yourself and tell the rest of the worlds that's the right way.

[edit] Stamos

"She married actor John Stamos on September 19, 1998. During her marriage, she used the name Rebecca Romijn-Stamos in both her personal and professional life. The couple announced their separation on April 12, 2004 and divorced on March 1, 2005.

She has since returned to using her maiden name professionally. In September 2005, Romijn and actor Jerry O'Connell announced their engagement."

It says she used Romijn-Stamos in both her personal and professional life then says she went back to her maiden name "professionally." So I'm just curious: was the person who wrote this implying in the second part that she's remaining with the Stamos personally or...? Dan 05:40, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
