Bruce Willis, 54, had a fun appearance on the David Letterman show last night. He came out wearing a hat made of rubber bands and joked to Dave that it was a new product he had out called “the concussion buster.” He wasn’t promoting anything but he kept the gags coming and explained how he met his new wife, Victoria’s Secret model Emma Heming, now Emma Willis, 30:
Willis: We met at the gym… in Los Angeles. I was checking [it] out to go see if it would be good for me. She was coming out and our good friend Gunnar Peterson… he’s the trainer, owner of the gym. She was walking out and I said “Gunnar, let me just say one thing to you. Wow! Who is that?”
At the time, we had to remain friends for about three years… She had a guy…
Then she became available. I called her up and we went on a date.
Letterman: What did you do on the first date?
Willis: Dinner, few drinks, um… [pauses]
No, no, I saved it. I saved it up, I was very polite.
[Roughly transcribed from Bruce Willis' appearance on The Late Show, aired 5/6/09]
When asked what Emma does for a living, Willis said “She tried acting briefly, and didn’t care for it. Does a little modeling now and looks after me ’cause I need a little looking after.”
Bruce said that Emma “fits in like a Swiss watch” with the rest of his family and told Dave that Emma was backstage. The camera cut to her and she smiled, waved and mouthed “I love you.”
Dave said “she looks a little younger” and Bruce joked that she “turns 18 next week.” When the camera showed Emma again she looked kind of embarrassed.
Willis joked that he was promoting his “small but pivotal role” as the next door neighbor in Beyonce’s film Obsessed and they showed a fake clip of him in a white undershirt, big belly and pushing a lawn mover as he watched the real fight scene from the movie through a window.
There didn’t seem to be a real point to Willis’ appearance as he doesn’t have a film out and was just shooting the breeze with Dave. He did explain how he met Emma, though, and that may have been an attempt to clear up a story that came out in the NY Post about six weeks ago that he met Emma when trying to cast roles for his 2007 movie, Perfect Stranger, and find a girlfriend at the same time.
Bruce Willis, 54, and his new wife, Emma Heming, 30, didn’t meet through friends, as his pals have insisted in fact, the superstar actor hand-picked her as a perfect stranger.
An impeccable source tells Page Six: “During the casting of ‘Perfect Stranger’ [the suspense movie Willis made with Halle Berry two years ago], Bruce was very involved with the casting. In fact, you could say he was extremely involved no matter how minor the role.”
At Willis’ request, calls were placed to modeling agencies to fill the roles of extras and minor speaking parts.
Our casting source said, “He personally went through head shots and when the girls were called in to ‘read,’ he was there in the meeting. It was odd for the star of a movie to do so, but at the time he was single and I guess he needed a date.”
The casting sessions/blind dates went well enough. “He started dating [model] Tamara Feldman, with whom he coincidentally enough had a sex scene,” our insider said.
Then, Heming was selected for a small speaking part. Willis “started dating both Tamara and Emma but obviously, Emma eventually won out,” the source said.

It sounds like Internet dating but with the added advantage that the entire pool is full of beautiful young women. However Bruce met Emma, it ended up working out well for them. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are rumored to have had a similar “casting call” start to their relationship, and they’re still together a few years later. It’s kind of their own business how they met, but you understand why celebrities feel they need to come up with a good story if it was more of a calculated effort than a “cute meet.”
I couldn’t find the full interview with Willis on Letterman online, but CBS has a highlight on the Late Show’s website featuring his fake role in Obsessed.

The Soldier Mountain Ski Resort in Fairfield, Idaho that Bruce Willis co-owns has burned to the ground. The lodge had closed for the season two days before, and though it employs up to 50 people during the season, luckily none were injured. The fire marshal says that they believe the blaze started in a fireplace after an employee party. It destroyed the lodge as well as a nearby rental cabin.
According to Camas County Chief Deputy Brian Miller, the blaze started at 7:30 a.m. and destroyed the lodge and a ski rental building nearby. The resort employs 50 people during the ski season. Fairfield Mayor David Hanks called the fire a real blow to the community. He stated that area businesses count on the ski resort to help bring customers into the area during the winter months.
The last ski day was Saturday and a season ending employee party was held on Sunday night. The fire is believed to have started near a fireplace on the north end of the lodge. The fire marshal is continuing to investigate.
Willis and the Valley Entertainment Group had been working on a new master development plan with officials of the Sawtooth National Forest to build a new lodge and a new lift for the resort.

Bruce just got married to model Emma Hemming, and they should be enjoying their honeymoon period, but instead they will have to deal with this mess. At least no one was injured and the fire was put out relatively quickly before it did any damage to the surrounding area. Bruce and his team were designing a new lift and a new building, so this is a real blow to their plans. There’s little chance that an entire lodge and lift could be completed by next season, and the results will cut into the economy in the area.
If you click this link, you can see pictures of the aftermath - and it’s not pretty. It looks like nearly everything is destroyed.

Bruce Willis and Emma Heming have made their marriage official. The couple were married last weekend in Turks & Caicos, and there was some question as to whether that island wedding would be recognized in America. So the couple were wed in a civil ceremony Friday in Beverly Hills. Emma is a smart girl - she knows the importance of making sure every ?t? is crossed and ?i? is dotted. Good for her.
The report that came out on their civil ceremony claims that Emma and Bruce met ?through friends?, directly contradicting the report earlier this week that claimed they met on the casting couch. As I consider that casting couch report, though, the timeline didn?t add up. OK! claimed that Emma was trying out for a part on Perfect Stranger, which was released in 2007 and filmed in 2006. That would have meant they met nearly three years ago, when they claim they?ve only been together a year. Interesting… if you enjoy romantic conspiracies.
It’s official: Bruce Willis and Emma Heming are husband and wife.
After their wedding celebration in the Caribbean last weekend, the actor and the model/actress were wed in a civil ceremony Friday at a friend’s house in Beverly Hills, his rep, Paul Bloch, tells PEOPLE. “They could not be happier,” Bloch says.
The couple, who met through mutual friends, have been together for more than a year. They said their first “I do’s” on March 21 in a small ceremony at Willis’s home in Parrot Cay, Turks & Caicos, with his ex-wife Demi Moore and her husband Ashton Kutcher among the guests.
From People Magazine
Many commenters (and tabloids) have been making a big deal about how Emma seems to look a lot like Demi Moore, Bruce?s ex-wife. I see a vague resemblance, especially if you compare Emma to how Demi used to look about twenty years ago (before Demi allegedly had all of that work done). I think a lot of the comparisons are based on their coloring - both women have beautiful olive skin and dark hair. So, does Bruce Willis have a type? Maybe, maybe not. He?s dated blondes before, but he’s only willing to marry the brunette beauties.

After congratulating Bruce Willis on his nuptials, on “The Late Show,” David Letterman slipped in a litte fact about his private life. He and his longtime girlfriend, Regina Lasko, the mother of their son Harry, have gotten married.“On Thursday, at 3 p.m., March 19, 2009, at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Montana, I was married to Regina Lasko,” Letterman said about 20 minutes into the show, reading from a card. “Regina and I began dating in February of 1986, and I said, ‘Well, things are going pretty good, let’s just see what happens in about 10 years.’”Why did it take so long? “We wanted to make sure we got the prenup just right,” Letterman joked.

Bruce Willis, 54, may have hand-picked his latest wife, Emma Heming, 30, on the casting couch of 2007’s Perfect Stranger with Halle Berry. Page Six claims,
Bruce was very involved with the casting. In fact, you could say he was extremely involved no matter how minor the role.”
At Willis’ request, calls were placed to modeling agencies to fill the roles of extras and minor speaking parts.
Our casting source said, “He personally went through head shots and when the girls were called in to ‘read,’ he was there in the meeting. It was odd for the star of a movie to do so, but at the time he was single and I guess he needed a date.”
At first, he dated Tamara Feldman, who he had a sex scene with in the movie. Then he picked Heming for a small speaking role. Willis started dating both of them until he ultimately settled with Heming.
It must be weird to be an actress in Hollywood. To show up to a casting call and see Bruce Willis and a bunch of other guys in the shadows with their pants down using their penises as divining rods to decide whether or not you got the part. On the flipside, being an actor in Hollywood is awesome.

Many people were surprised by Bruce Willis?s weekend nuptials to Emma Heming. I looked at the story with an ?oh, I bet she?s knocked up? sort of attitude. The celebrity weeklies and gossip sites are scrambling to find some dirt on this girl. And what they found is a little funny, because I seem to recall a similar story being told about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Apparently Bruce met Emma on a ?casting call? for his 2007 film Perfect Stranger. Casting call, eh? Sure it wasn?t the ?casting couch?? OK! has more:
It’s always been a bit unclear as to how Bruce Willis met his new wife, model Emma Heming. Reps for the actor have said the pair have mutual friends, but a new story has a slightly wilder tale to tell.
A story from Wednesday morning’s NY Post alleges that the Die Hard superstar actually met the 30-year-old beauty when he was casting for lovely ladies to star in his 2007 erotic techno-thriller flop Perfect Stranger.
“He personally went through head shots and when the girls were called in to ‘read,’ he was there in the meeting,” the Post quotes a source as saying. “It was odd for the star of a movie to do so, but at the time he was single and I guess he needed a date.”
Though he didn’t begin dating Heming right away (that honor went to another actress, Tamara Feldman), she did score a minor role in the movie. The story claims that Willis eventually began dating both Emma and Tamara until he ultimately made his choice. Not surprisingly, Bruce’s rep had nothing to say on the claims made by the newspaper.
[From OK! Magazine]
Emma didn?t even get the part! That girl doesn?t know how to work the casting couch. Or maybe she does - why put the ?work? into getting the part, when you could just snag a rich husband. Am I right, ladies? Seriously, am I right? I have no idea how any of that ?snagging a rich husband? stuff works, or else I would be drinking pina coladas on some tropical island right now. I?m so jealous of Emma. She?s a lot smarter than me.

Bruce Willis married his long-time model girlfriend Emma Heming over the weekend at his home on the Turks and Caicos islands. Us Weekly says
This is the second marriage for Willis, 54, and the first marriage for Heming, 30. Willis’ daughters, Rumor, 20, Scout, 17, and Tallulah Belle, 14, and their mother, Willis’ ex Demi Moore, were present, as was Moore’s current husband, Ashton Kutcher. Madonna was also among the guests.
“The couple will be having a civil ceremony when they return to California,” Willis’ rep tells Us.
Just think, when he was her age, she was just starting first grade. Bet that would have made for some awkward first dates. Especially if she’d already circle-circle-dot-dotted herself with a cootie shot and mastered the monkey bars. They’re virtually unattainable then.
A couple of her modeling in a bikini, and with Bruce at the “House Bunny” premiere:

Bruce Willis finally married his girlfriend/model Emma Heming Saturday at his home in Parrot Cay following a year of dating. His three daughters, Rumor, Scout and Tallulah Belle along with his ex-wife Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were in attendance.
It was said that Heming was at first hesitant to accept Bruce’s proposal to be showered with his millions, live in his home on the Caicos islands in the Caribbean and be pampered for the rest of her life. However, as you can see, she eventually said “yes” because in life, love conquers all.

Bruce Willis has always seemed like a pretty decent guy. He?s only been married once (to Demi Moore), and after they divorced they?ve maintained a really beautiful, kind, generous friendship and love. They shared custody of their three daughters, and Bruce even manned up and embraced Demi?s husband Ashton Kutcher with open arms.
Post-divorce, Bruce has always had a type for his girlfriends. Beautiful, young, and not too famous. After Demi, I think the most famous woman he ever dated was model/actress Brooke Burns. There were engagement rumors about Bruce and Brooke too, but they never panned out. Now People Magazine is asking if Bruce is ready to tie the knot with his current squeeze, model Emma Heming:
Is Bruce Willis ready to walk down the aisle again?
According to a source, the actor and his girlfriend, model Emma Heming, are planning an intimate wedding this week in Turks & Caicos where the actor owns a home.
As rumors of possible nuptials have surfaced online, Willis’s ex-wife Demi Moore and her husband, Ashton Kutcher ? who both maintain a close friendship with Willis ? arrived on the island Saturday, according to another source.
Meanwhile, according to an island source a block of ocean view rooms and private villas have been reserved for Willis’s guests at a hotel near the actor’s home.
There is also another reason for Willis to celebrate: The actor, who has been dating Heming, 32, since last year, will turn 54 on Thursday.
Willis’s rep had no comment.
[From People]
That Turks & Caicos home is somewhat famous at this point. After Bruce lent the house to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner for their shotgun wedding, the home has been the site of many alleged celebrity nuptials. So will Bruce finally get hitched again? Emma is only 32 years old… but I could totally see it. And part of me thinks that People Magazine wouldn?t have brought it up unless they have a well-placed source. Rumor Willis, perchance?
