headline: Caught in the Act: Chris Jensen and Hero Teacher’s Wife.
I’ve seen most of the other pictures before. They’re mostly shots of Hallie after Ben’s accident and pictures of the two of them together, in addition to stock photographs from movie premieres and the Thailand movie promos and the James Ross set. There are a few that my eye lingers on a little bit longer—a picture of Hallie and me at a party in Prague, a shot of the two of us on a beach, one of us dancing in a Vegas club. Christ, where did they find those?
I give Marcus a searching look, but he shrugs his shoulders helplessly before barking more orders at Serafina. Just as I’m about to rip the phone from Marcus’s ear to demand answers, I see a link at the bottom of the page that stops my heart.
Oh, She’s a Ho: Hallie Caldwell. A Scandalous Affair. A Secret Love Child?
There’s a picture of Hallie and Ben holding the outstretched hands of a tiny girl with deep brown curls, but a thick red line is drawn through Ben’s face and mine is superimposed over it.
I glance at Marcus, and the stricken look on his face matches my own, even as he continues to talk to the publicist.
“I’ll look. I haven’t seen that one yet. But I have to go, Serafina. Yeah, get it taken down if you can. Yeah, I think it’s probably too late for that. Uh huh. We’ll handle the security. He needs to get out of here as soon as possible.” After he hangs up, he settles onto the couch next to me.
“I wasn’t lying, Jensen. We have to get you out of here as soon as we can. You shouldn’t read that shit. It will rot your brain.”
He’s trying to hide the worst of it, but I already saw the headline. And the picture. Just as he lunges to snatch the iPad from my hands, I take it back, clicking the link and holding it just out of his reach.
Hallie Caldwell Ellison is the widow of Benjamin Ellison III, otherwise known as “Hero Teacher,” who authored the best-selling Rage series before dying in the tragic bus accident that captured the attention of America last year. Hallie hasn’t spoken to the media since her press conference she held shortly after leaving the hospital, when she asked for privacy for herself and her family after the devastating events.
The Ellisons have a daughter, Grace, who is now four years old and has been kept out of the limelight until now. However, sources tell us that she’s the inspiration behind “Grace of My Heart,” the new single from pop sensation 4Sure. Her parentage has come into question with the recently discovery of photographs of Hallie with mega-movie star Chris Jensen, who is best known for playing James Ross in the remakes of the popular 80s action franchise. FFG Studios, Jensen’s production company, recently optioned the first screenplay in Rage series, which Hallie Ellison completed after her husband’s death. It wouldn’t be the first time Jensen has mixed business with pleasure. His latest conquest was Lena Fair, the prima ballerina currently tearing up the stage in Coppelia for the ABC Ballet Company in New York, but Lena was just the latest in a long line of pretty faces to show up on his arm.
Hallie and Ben Ellison ignited a media firestorm when the press dubbed them America’s Couple after pictures of the pair from high school seemed to confirm their Hollywood love story without a happy ending. However, Hallie’s been keeping a few secrets of her own. Sources tell us that she and Jensen have been engaged in a long-standing affair that began nearly seven years ago, and that Hallie cheated on Ellison numerous times during their marriage. The two apparently have love nests all over the world, including New York and Chicago, where they’re currently sharing a hotel suite.
See for yourself. But we think the supposedly grieving widow looks all too comfortable in the arms of the movie star. She seems to have a particular taste for fame, which is ironic given her constant and repeated requests for privacy. But maybe Hallie Caldwell is a better actress than we ever could have imagined. Perhaps Chris Jensen could take a few lessons from her.
We’re currently interviewing a number of sources with first-hand knowledge of the Jensen-Ellison coupling and will report the details as soon as they’ve available.
Stay tuned!
I hand the tablet to Marcus wordlessly. He shakes
