Apparently Lifetime movies are more steamy than we all thought.

But the real news happened offscreen.

Both Cibrian and Rimes were married during the filming of the movie and when rumors spread about the affair, Rimes would not confirm or deny while Cibrian, who has two children, flat out denied it.

Cibrian divorced his wife Brandi Glanville in 2009 and Rimes soon followed with Dean Sheremet in 2010. Once the couple married in 2011, Rimes confirmed the affair.

It seemed like a perfect marriage.

Before making the jump into big budget films like “Mission Impossible III” and “Watchmen,” Billy Crudup was most notably recognized as the lead singer of Stillwater in “Almost Famous”.

After making “Stage Beauty” however, no one was talking about his movie cred.

Crudup met Claire Danes on the set of the romantic period piece and the two reportedly had an affair. But what’s more surprising was the fact that Crudup was married to future “Weeds” star Mary Louise Parker at the time … and she was pregnant.

Craig and Weisz were both engaged at the time. Craig to film producer Satsuki Mitchell while Weisz had been engaged for some time to “Black Swan” director Darren Aronofsky.

This is definitely one of the most legendary affairs in Hollywood history.

Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy were reportedly already having an affair when they made the film “Woman of the Year” in 1942.

Hepburn and Tracy were together for 26 years until his death in 1967. But the interesting thing is that during the whole time Tracy was married (yet estranged) from his wife Louise.

Tracy would not divorce his wife because of his Catholic upbringing but Hepburn stayed with him and even lived with him in his house when his health started to decline.
