The Many Women of Michael Reese Meyers Part 2


Name: Gina Rage

When They Dated: December 2011 - March 2012 and September 2012 to December 2012

How They Met: After seeing the Haywire trailer, Meyers looked her up online, liked what he saw and added her on Facebook. The pair spoke online and one the phone for weeks before meeting in person.

Impact: She almost had his child. It seemed at first that her sultry yet shy and enigmatic personality would be the perfect counter balance to match Meyer's high strung charisma but the two just couldn't make it work. In March 2012 the pair broke up after she aborted his child behind his back. They reunited in the fall of 2012 while he and his band Chants of Reign went on their first ever U.S. tour. At this point they were in more of an open relationship so Rage was also seeing Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill on the side and Meyers found the time to have a one night stand with up and coming actress Natalia Martinez when she went to one of the band's shows and wound up getting her pregnant. Things eventually died down between the two in late December 2012 once Meyer's focus began to shift toward being there for the mother of his coming child (as well as new love interest Frankie Sandford) and this allowed Rage and Cavill to become an official couple.

Where Is She Now?: Rage is becoming a bigger star in Hollywood right now landing a role in the sixth Fast and Furious film as a member of Dwayne Johnson's team. While her MMA career seems to be officially dead in the water, she is quickly becoming the new female action star Hollywood is turning to when they want a sexy female who can do her own fight stunts.



Name: Jessica Lounge

When They Dated: They didn't.

How They Met: Lounge was Meyers' date to the Avengers Los Angeles premiere on the night of his 28th birthday, May 4th, 2012. Meyers had reached out to her to be his date with the hopes that they could start dating but that night Minka Kelly ran into them at the after party and wouldn't leave him alone. Meyers was later spotted in Miami and various other places with Kelly and never seen again with Lounge.

Impact: None.

Where Is She Now?: Still singing and acting on CW's 90210.


Name: Minka Kelly

When They Dated: May 2012 to September 2012

How They Met: She ambushed his date with Jessica Lounge at the Avenger's premiere in L.A. on the night of his 28th birthday. The two went on to become an item for the rest of that summer.

Impact: She showed Meyers what it was like for the first time to be the one in a relationship who ISN'T needy. They dated long distance over the summer of 2012 since he was busy filming the latest Bond film. She did accompany him to the Alien: Genesis premiere in London that June of 2012. In an interview after their breakup he mentioned she was too needy and that normally that was HIS role in relationships in the past. He finally saw with his own eyes how it feels to be on the other end of that. The distance was just too much for them to handle. She later said in the press that his sex was "amazing".

Where Is She Now?: She is still acting and has a part as Jackie Kennedy in the upcoming drama "The Butler".

Name: Frankie Sandford

When They Dated: December 2012 to February 2013

How They Met: Meyers saw Frankie and her group the Saturdays filming their reality show in New York City and approached Sandford, told her he was a fan, interested in going on a date, and she siad yes, if he agrees to be apart of their reality show.

Impact: Many speculate Meyers was trying to get his "new Mel" since Frankie has similar features to Morley, dark hair, and is British. Unfortunately, the tattooed and famously tempestuous member of the English pop group (whose had her issues with alcoholism, DUI, and manic depression) had too much of a busy schedule with her group to make time for their relationship. You see the pair argue over the phone during her group's E! reality show about how she couldn't spend Valentine's Day with him due to a performance and it was the last straw. Some speculated their relationship was not "real" and only for the show. Both say it was real.

Where Is She Now?: Frankie and her group are now trying to make it in America and have a new hit song called "What About Us?"



Name: Natalia Martinez

When They Dated: They never did.

How They Met: September 2012 back stage after one of Meyers' Chants of Reign concerts.

Impact: She will be the mother of his child. Meyers and the up and coming actress had a passionate one night stand and she will now have his son.

Where Is She Now?: The Broken City actress will give birth to their son London Cologne Swagger on May 23, 2013.

Blog Update: "2013 Plans, Music News, Balancing My Soul"

Hello fans & friends, Mike here. Sorry I haven't blogged in a minute. Been super busy. Won't make this too long (wait, don't I always say that then ramble on for 12 paragraphs? haha). Just wanted to keep you up to date on what I been up to, what is next, and clarify some comments I made in a recent interview....

- I am currently in NYC filming Truth or Die with director Ron Howard, and actors Gary Oldman, Sean Penn, Olivia Wilde, and Keira Knightley. It has been a complete BLAST and we will be here until mid March. So much fun. Standing above NYC everyday has been a challenge since heights is my biggest fear but it will turn out for a great movie.

- While here in the apple my band Chants of Reign and I have been recording our third album "Ill Escape" which will mostly be instrumentals and a few songs with lyrics. The sound of the album will be very unique and borrow heavily from the current dub-trance sound that is very popular right now. The point of the record is to chill and relax to ambient and soothing music. It will have 3 singles we plan to release in the summer and fall, all positive and uplifting music. Expect the first single "Invincible" to hit sometime in April and the album will be in stores around June. Can't wait for you guys to hear some of these tracks.

- Obviously in May I will be promoting the new Bond film and then Natalia and I are expecting the birth of our son in late May. We already have decided on a name for him and it is pretty EPIC. I promise you have never heard of a name like this. The first name isn't too crazy, it's one of the world's largest cities, but the two middle names, as far as I know, have never been used as NAMES before and are quite unique, yet there's a ring to it when you say it. It flows real well together and I have a feeling a lot of people will be copying us when they hear it. Haha. Can't wait to shock the world with this one.

- This summer my band and I will be on tour in EUROPE with BOOMKAT, one of my favorite artists. Get your tickets now!

- In the fall I will be mostly in Los Angeles filming TED with director Seth McFarlane and actress Amy Adams. Also we will be recording our 4th Chants of Reign album as well, "The Last Romantic Left and his Phunky Phresh Phlow". This album has me so excited. It will be more R&B and funk based and have a romantic vibe to it. We will work with producers such as 40, DB Smooth, Jamiroquia, Daft Punk, you name it. Drake has agreed to be on a track. My boy from True Hollywood Story Tito Craig will be on a track. This record will be a straight up PROBLEM!!!! The sound is something like the type of music you play in your apartment on Valentine's night as you cook dinner and wait for your significant other to arrive. Very sexy and classy. Babymakers for sure. New swaggy sound. Once again we will be chameleons changing our sound. Unlike other bands where their fans love them for their one sound they stick to, our fans love us because of the emotions and moods and feelings our music puts them in, and we adapt to whatever sound we feel helps us best put you in that mood. That album will be out February 2014!

- Last but not least, my future. I know in a recent interview I mentioned possibly retiring from acting. I think what I meant to say was take a long "break". My good buddy DiCaprio mentioned recently he was gonna do the same. This industry can really tire you out, especially when you put in as much work as we do each and everytime we play a role and when you get nothing out of it you sometimes can feel, WHATS THE POINT? I do NOT want fans to worry. I am not pulling a Jared Leto and doing music full time. I still love acting and will still act, but only if the role is something that truly speaks to me. After TED comes out in 2014 I honestly only see myself doing the rest of the Bond films and maybe focusing more on music and maybe directing again. I honestly cannot wait to direct another movie. That is becoming my new passion. I just do not want to see myself on screen all the time just to see it. In my acting as you all know I am a chameleon of many different looks and I can't think of a look I haven't tried yet. Until I get to play Michael Jackson or a midget or a sickly guy in a wheelchair or Freddy Krueger or something, I just feel it's all old and been done before. I am looking for that next great transformation (think Heath Ledger as the Joker, Robert Downey Jr. in Inglorious Bastards, Gary Oldman in Shortcomings) and I just don't see any scripts right now that offer me that. It's quite sad. Who knows, we will see....

...Honestly I just feel the need to get my personal life in order over the next few years. One can be seen too much in this industry and maybe I need to disappear for a while and figure some things out. Some personal things. I look at young actors coming up in the game right now that I am a huge fan of...such as Alex Pettyfer, Sebastian Stan, Juno Temple, the amazing Jennifer Lawrence who I got to work with in Trust Me (p.s. J-Law and Bruce Willis are the ONLY 2 actors who have ever intimidated me on set, just with either their overall presence or raw talent, which shows you how great she is) and when I see these young actors and read their interviews, they remind me so much of me when I first started. So raw and fresh and new and hungry to be the best and learn...but also so lost. Not in a bad way, but in the sense of the fact that they are vagabonds with no real attachments, how they can't maintain a relationship and how that is not important to them, and I don't want to be that lost soul anymore. I came into this industry at 17 years old back in 2002 very lost and alone and searching for something and looking at where and who I am now, I shouldn't still be that same person, yet in a way...I am. That bothers me.


...I look at my ex-girlfriends Kristen Bell and Megan Fox. Both are married now. Megan just had a son. She has matured so much. Kristen is about to be a mother. We talk all the time. Have a GREAT friendship. She gives me wonderful advice. They are where I feel I need to be. I'm gonna be a father soon. It wasn't under the circumstances I always planned or imagined but it strangely feels it is happening at the right time and I am embracing it fully and couldn't be more excited. Natalia is a wonderful woman whom I'd love to be with "officially" but there are reasons why we can't which I refuse to comment on out of respect to her privacy. I want to be married and completely happy and stable in my personal life with ONE WOMAN and know where my source of satisfaction comes from each and everyday. I want to come home to a stable and happy and normal life. The one I never had growing up. I look at Robin Thicke and Paula Patton, Justin and Jessica Biel. I want a sexy fun mature relationship and to do good work outside of that. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are a perfect example.  I want satisfaction to come from the people around me and not need it from a world tour or albums sold or an Oscar statue or a million dollar contract from the Broccoli's. The happiest people I know aren't the richest or most famous, but the ones who are in love with someone who loves them back just as much. Each day can be a struggle to know what the point of it all is. I am sick of being numb and cold to it all and the vices we all use (drink, drugs, food, music, money, sex, etc.) to kill the pain. There is truly only one HEALTHY and LASTING thing that can give you the strength and clarity to face the world in a positive way and that is the love and devotion of another good human being who is your equal and understands you. Once my real life  is where I need it to be, then maybe everything else will fall into place. Until then, enjoy the stuff I do now over the next 2 years and I will see where the chameleon shows up after that.....


Until next time,
Me
