Knots Tied and Untied

‘Sexy talento’ Sugimoto Aya (34) says she’s looking for a divorce to bring her “sexless” marriage to an end. She has been married for 11 years to guitarist Numata Toshinori (40), though they have been separated since January. She revealed to a women’s magazine “My ideal was to marry a romantic Latin type but that didn’t happen…” She became well known following her ballroom dancing performances on an Un-chan Nan-chan variety show in the 90s.

• Presumably not suffering from the same kind of problem is Fuji TV “Saturday Live, What’s Nippon?” presenter Mochizuki Rie (31) who married a 29-year old Buddhist monk yesterday.
