Recently in celebrity splits Category
Liv Tyler and her British rock star husband have separated.
The duo were married in 2003 and had son Milo in 2004. Their rep gave the following statement to People.
"Liv Tyler and Royston Langdon have confirmed their separation. They remain good friends and devoted parents to their son Milo and are requesting that their family's privacy be respected at this time."
Both parties literally signed an agreement stating these goals, as well as saying that they will keep their children's needs as the main priority and they will try to avoid courtroom fights.
The agreement says:
"We will strive to be honest, cooperative and respectful as we work in this process to achieve the future well being of our families... We commit ourselves to the collaborative law process and agree to seek a positive way to resolve our differences justly and equitably."
If only people like Britney and K-Fed could learn from this extremely mature and civilized couple!
Would Sophia Bush really make the same mistake twice?
The One Tree Hill beauty was previously married to costar Chad Michael Murray, after a whirlwind romance, but sadly split after only five months of marriage, when reports surfaced that Chad fooled around with Paris Hilton on the set of House of Wax. Now, Page Six is reporting that Sophia was getting cozy with the other male OTH heartthrob, James Lafferty, who plays Nathan.
According to the gossip column, the costars were cuddled up in a booth at 1Oak, with her hand on his thigh -- then they left together.
Yes, they could absolutely just be friends, and I'm not sure that Sophia would go down that road again, considering she has to act everyday with her cheating ex-husband, who's now engaged to a teen-aged extra he met on set, but it would be an interesting payback. How uncomfortable would Chad be to have to see Sophia and James all lovey-dovey right in front of his face?
Like Sophia, I would sort of love that.
Carrie Underwood looks absolutely glowy and gorgeous on the cover of the new InStyle, but this singing sensation says she often isn't thrilled with what's staring back at her in the mirror.
"I think about what I look like probably more than I should. But I think everybody is her own worst critic," she tells the mag. "Some days I step out of the shower, put my lotion on, and I'll be like 'Ugh, ew, ew.' "
I so can relate.
Carrie, who recently split from boyfriend Chace Crawford, admits she's been cheated on and says that the reason for her not-so-perfect-spots probably has to do with how she deals with heartache.
"I'm a 'let it go, move on' kind of person. And ice cream is my friend. If anybody sees me eating a sundae and I look unhappy, something bad has happened," the American Idol winner admits. "I am drowning my sorrows in fudge and caramel and whipped cream."
The beauty seems, sadly, super hard on herself. "If I put on five pounds, it's noticed immediately," Carrie says. But, in the same breath she laments, "I'm content with 90 percent of me. I like my teeth. Sometimes I wonder if my orthodontist realizes how important he was."
It bothers me so much when beautiful girls don't see themselves as such.
Sopranos beauty Jamie-Lynn Sigler and her boyfriend of two years, nightclub owner Scott Sartiano, have ended their relationship.
"They're both very focused on their careers," a source told UsMagazine.com. "It wasn't a bad breakup. They're still talking."
It seems that life is just taking these two in different directions, as Jamie is moving to L.A. to try and get some work, while Scott's (who once dated Ashley Olsen) bread and butter is the New York nightlife
"It just couldn't work," the insider said. "It's what's best for them right now. They're both really sad. They were very in love."
Womp, womp.
America's favorite couple is splitting!
I'm totally kidding -- well, not about the split, but about them being America's favorite couple. Star Jones has filed for divorce from husband Al Reynolds, after three-and-a-half years of marriage.
"Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce," Star revealed to Entertainment Tonight. "The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."
Something never seemed right between those two, anyway. Their wedding was a big spectacle and the whole marriage appeared to be pretty staged. Now Star can out her her big lollipop head back on the market and find a new man.
Kanye West and longtime girlfriend Alexis Phifer have broken up -- putting plans to marry to rest -- but the woman scorned is not dissing her ex. In fact, she's being super classy about the whole thing.
"It's always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends,” Alexis told People.com. "I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met."
Sources say that Kanye has been majorly wrapped up in his career, specifically his new "Glow in the Dark" tour, and hadn't been making much time for Alexis. The pair, who had gotten engaged in 2006, just couldn't make it work, but kudos to Alexis for taking the high road. It's nice to see exes who can have a mutual respect for each other even after things don't pan out the way they expected.
It's no secret that Kanye West is pretty intense when it comes to his work -- but maybe he should be as passionate about his woman. Spies say that Kanye is so crazy about everything being perfect on his new tour that he and his fiancée, Alexis Phifer, have broken off their engagement.
A source close to the couple told UsMagazine.com that "Kanye is possessed by the tour and everything going on and just couldn't keep it going. They are still friends and have broken up and gotten back together before, so it could work out."
The insider said that Kanye and Alexis planned to marry as a tribute to his late mom, Donda West, who urged the couple, who have been dating on and off since 2002, to make it official.
"I’m just going to go and get married,” Kanye had told GQ last year. “I’m not going to make a big deal out of it.”
You can say that again.
According to E! News, The Hills star Brody Jenner and his girlfriend, whose existence royally pissed off Lauren Conrad, Cora Skinner, have gone their separate ways. "They broke up, because they decided they're better off as friends. Brody is definitely back on the market," said the insider.
Woohooo! Not.
Anyway, so does that mean that Brody will come crawling back to Lauren on an upcoming episode?
"They're not getting back together at all," a separate source said of the are they or aren't they couple.
That's not to say that the people over at MTV aren't already slicing together footage to make it look like the breakup was all Lauren's fault.
Here's something you don't see everyday -- unless we're talking about Pamela Anderson.
Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn have called off their divorce! According to Extra, a court official confirms that the couple's divorce papers have been dismissed. Sean and Robin, who split in December after 11 years of marriage, were also seen together on Tuesday at an Eddie Vedder concert in San Francisco, where Sean jumped on stage and reportedly dedicated a song to his wife for her birthday.
Good for them for trying to make it work. I guess Robin doesn't care that Sean was parading around the Oscars with Petra Nemcova -- or maybe that's what pushed her to want him back. Very sneaky, Sean.
Oh no! My favorite three-monikered couple have split up!
Weeds star Mary Louise Parker and Grey's Anatomy's Denny, Jeffrey Dean Morgan have broken their engagement, according to People.com. Reps for the couple had no comment, but this isn't the first time they've gone their separate ways.
After dating for seven months in 2007, Jeff and Mary ended it, only to reunite in December of last year. Their engagement was reported by the NY Daily News in February, but it looks like they just couldn't make it work.
That sucks.
Carrie Underwood certainly doesn't sound like she's all broken up over her recent split from Gossip Girl hottie Chace Crawford. In fact, she's being so nonchalant about it, I'm thinking she might have broken his little heart.
"We broke up over text, so it's like 'peace out,'" Carrie told Extra, at the Idol Gives Back taping in Hollywood Sunday. "It was completely mutual, we're both fine."
The former American Idol winner says that their romance "just didn't work, and we both knew it didn't work and [there are] no hard feelings at all whatsoever." But she does admit that they haven't spoken "in a while, but I mean, I don't dislike him. So it's no big deal."
Doesn't she sound like she couldn't care less?
Well, they were -- and now they're not. According to Usmagazine.com, the American Idol winner and Gossip Girl hottie have ended their nano-relationship. The couple, who were supposedly dating since July (saw them together, like, once) and had reportedly spent Thanksgiving and Christmas together, just couldn't seem to make it work.
Hmmm. Maybe that's because Chace is spending all of his time with former boy band-er J.C. Chasez? This super duo, conversely, have been seen everywhere together. But, J.C. swears that he and Chace are just good buds and nothing more.
“For the record, we’re both straight,” J.C. said on a radio program the other morning. "We're not dating."
Okay, but when J.C. takes Chace home for Passover I might say "I told you so."
I know -- I thought the same thing -- aren't they already divorced? But, the answer would be no.
The couple, who split in 2006, never made it official -- until now. Kimora Lee has filed for divorce from Russell Simmons citing "irreconcilable differences." She asks for legal and physical custody of the couple's two daughters, Ming, 8, and Aoki, 5, and requests that her music mogul ex get "reasonable child visitation … to be accompanied at all times by the children's nanny and security personnel."
So, why now? Could it be that Kimora and new beau, actor Djimon Hounsou, are looking to take things to the next level? Kimora has spent a lot of time lately debunking rumors that she's expecting a baby -- maybe they want to tie the knot first?
Laughter may be the best medicine, but even being married to one of the funniest men may not keep your marriage happy.
Robin Williams' wife, Marsha Garces Williams, has filed for divorce from the actor, after 19 years of marriage. In papers filed on March 21, the producer cited irreconcilible differences.They couple have two children together.
Not funny.
"I can see doing it again, yeah. And I can certainly see possibly having children again. I'm pretty young, and there are many beautiful things about that idea of marriage and family. It just doesn't always work out perfect for everybody."
-- Ryan Phillippe, to USA Today, on the possibility of marrying again
Yes, ladies, the line to date Jackass star Johnny Knoxville forms to the left.
Johnny's divorce from wife Melanie Clapp has been finalized. The duo split, after 13 years of marriage, last July, citing irreconcilable differences. They have a 12-year-old daughter, Madison, together.
Okay, I said get in line. Anyone? Buelller? Yeah, that's what I thought.
We can all finally stop talking about the micro-marriage of Pam Anderson and Rick Salomon, as their marriage has been annulled.
Both parties have cited "fraud" as their reason for wanting the annulment, but neither explained their reasoning. I say, who cares? Pam will just be married again in a year, while Rick is probably putting the finishing touches on their sex tape as we speak.
In the words of another of Pam's exes, Tommy Lee, and his band, Motley Crue, I offer this advice: Don't go away mad, just go away.
This marriage between sex tape king Rick Salomon and Pamela Anderson was already such a joke -- now they are just making things worse.
You see, Pam filed for divorce after a big two months of wedded bliss, then changed her mind, then filed for an annulment, citing "fraud". Now Rick is hitting back with his own annulment papers -- and he's citing "fraud"!
Neither one has explained the reasoning behind the fraud claim (very reminiscent of the split between Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney, but with a higher ick factor), and I kind of don't even care. It's not like we thought these two would be celebrating their silver anniversary together.
What is the best way to show the world that there is absolutely no trouble in your marriage? Head out for a paparazzi-filled romantic night on the town, of course!
One day after Madonna's rep released a statement saying that all is well in the Madge-Ritchie household, the Material Girl and her hubby, Guy Ritchie, stepped out in front of photographers, as they left Harry's bar in London.
So, what do you think? A show? A sham? Just a coincidence?
If you thought it was weird that Madonna arrived to her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction without her husband, Guy Ritchie -- and failed to thank him in her record-breaking speech (it was the longest in R&R HOF history) -- you're not the only one.
Tons of media outlets have been speculating that Madge and her man are on the outs, having rarely been seen together in months. But the Material Girl's faithful publicist, Liz Rosenberg, says there's no story here.
"I am delighted to confirm that Mr. and Mrs. Guy Ritchie remain happily married," she said in a statement Monday. "Though they were in different countries recently – Madonna in the U.S. doing promotion for her upcoming album Hard Candy and Guy finishing up post production on his new film RocknRolla as well as completing a Nike commercial and working on several scripts in England – the family are joyfully back together at home in London."
Okay, if you say so, but I still think it's curious that Guy wasn't there for Madge's big night. Work or no work -- he could have flown over for the day. I'm not sure I believe everything is so peachy over there.
Maybe now Heather Mills will go away.
Paul McCartney's ex-wife got away with was awarded almost $50 million in the couple's divorce settlement, reports People.com. Heather told the waiting press she was "so, so happy" with the ridiculous sum of money.
The judge decided Paul should pay Heather a lump sum (!) of around $33 million, plus their existing assets together, which run about $15 million. And there you have the almost $50 mil. The judge deemed that she had overspent during nearly two years of separation by $1 million.
In addition to being happy, Heather also said she was "just glad it was over," supposedly referring to the torturous proceedings, but we all know she's just ecstatic that she'll be living off The Beatles' money for the rest of her annoying life.
I'll wonder if she gets a dollar for every time someone sings "Can't Buy Me Love" at a karaoke bar.
"Above and beyond everything, we are the best of friends and she is the love of my life. We talk all the time."
-- Pink's soon-to-be-ex husband, Carey Hart, on the singer and their breakup.
I know I should be happy that they aren't hating on each other, but that just makes me sad.
Hayden Panettiere continues to irk the crap out of me, this time, with her latest interview with Seventeen magazine.
The Heroes star opens up about why she ended her relationship with Lauren Conrad's ex, Laguna Beach's Stephen Colletti, just after turning the big 1-8.
“I just knew I wanted to breathe," she said. "I wanted to be single at the time."
Notice how she said "at the time" -- because now she's getting it on with co-star (and 30-year-old) Milo Ventimiglia.
"It just hit me like a ton of bricks," she added. "This is the time I need to be with myself. It takes such a secure person to be with someone like me—it takes so much confidence; it takes so much trust.”
Come on -- that statement doesn't annoy anyone else? I think I may need her to go away.
She goes on to talk about saving the dolphins and how nothing scares her, and blah, blah, blah, but I just can't. Feel free to pick up the new issue -- if you can stomach it.
The Hogan divorce has turned quite ugly and, although I had originally hoped Hulk and Linda would find their way through this tough time, it's not looking like it's moving in that direction.
I'm disappointed to tell you that Hulk is being outed for having an alleged affair with one of his daughter's good friends! The dalliance, with a girl who was working with Brooke Hogan on her last album, supposedly took place last year, while the family was filming Hogan knows Best.
Where was the footage of that?
Anyway, the chick has sold her story to The National Enquirer.
"My relationship with Terry [Hulk Hogan] began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending," Christiane Plante, 33, told the rag. "She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed. Terry is a good man, good father and a good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period. It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong."
"Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologizing for my actions. I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend."
Brooke is reportedly completely torn up about this, while Linda is probably nursing her broken heart, by counting all the cash she is about to get from the wrestler.
Instead of getting her standard divorce, Pamela Anderson has decided to spice up her split from Rick Salomon and seek an annulment.
According to new court papers filed by Pam's lawyers, the former Baywatch babe is citing "fraud" as the reason for her and Rick's breakup, after only two months of wedded bliss. The actress originally filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, but my assumption is that "irreconcilable" was too hard for Pam to say or spell, and fraud was probably not a reason she had given for any of her past divorces. And with an annulment, Pam can pretend that her quickie marriage to the other star of the Paris Hilton sex tape never existed.
That Pam -- always thinking.
