We've always found Elizabeth Hurley mildly annoying--she's pretty much Paris Hilton with a posh accent and a BMI slightly above "emaciated," as far we're concerned. And then we made the mistake of reading this lengthy investigative report into the current state of Liz and Hugh (we couldn't stop until the last paragraph; it's a problem), and we upgraded our judgment to "profoundly annoying."

We get wanting to stay friends with your exes--we were kind of into that for a while back in our 20s. And then we realized that most ex friendships are based entirely on flirtatious attention, preservation of pride, plan B, booty calls, and ego boosting, and we kind of moved on. But Liz Hurley? Not so much.

She recently invited Hugh along on a romantic island getaway for three in the Maldives: Liz, Hugh, and the new Mrs. Hurley, Arun. Apparently Arun is down with the whole third wheel thing, and they even have cutesy nicknames for each other: Arun is "Slick" because he wears fancy watches, Hugh is "Darling Hugh" because he's so dear to the Happy Couple, and Liz is "the Minx" because, well, she probably picked that nickname out herself. Arun is so okay with things, in fact, that he didn't even bother to come along on Liz and Hugh's recent trip to NYC. "I am sure we will adore each other until the day that one of us dies," Liz said in an interview just before her wedding to Arun. And, um, she was talking about Hugh. (Who also happens to be godfather to her son Damien, a.k.a. Son of Bing.)

Maybe we're just cranky because it's Monday, but...really?! People talk this way after college?! (Also, we always assumed that Liz's appeal was purely aesthetic, which makes us wonder exactly what Hugh Grant gets out of the whole ex friendship.) Seriously, could you ever imagine vacationing with your partner and your ex and...er, that's it. Just the three of you. Or worse...your partner and their ex? Or are we just sticks in the mud who don't know what we're missing by letting bygone men be bygone?
