Sad news to report that actress Emmy Rossum has split from beau Justin Spiegel... or should we say husband?
E! New reports that the 22-year-old Phantom of the Opera star and her music business boyfriend were actually married and no one knew about it. Twist!
No other info is available because the couple paid to keep the marriage license confidential. How secretive, Emmy.

First Paula Abdul announced her Idol departure via Twitter, and now stars are announcing breakups on the social media site as well.
So, it's not as big of a deal as Idol losing Paula, but Friday night, former Dancing with the Stars couple Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough announced their breakup via matching Twitter posts.
The tweets:
Shannon: "Hi everyone-we wanted you all to know directly from us that Derek & I have decided to end our relationship as boyfriend & girlfriend..."
Derek: "Hi everyone ,we wanted you all to know directly from us, that Shannon & I have decided to end our relationship as boyfriend & girlfriend..."
They both followed that up with: "however, we love & care about each other very much & will remain friends & in each other's lives."
How sweet - although it's oddly couple-ish to get together to plan out matching Twitter messages.
This may sound mean, but I can't believe it took her this long.
Mel Gibson's wife, Robyn Gibson, has filed for divorce from the actor after 28 years of marriage. She has cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason.
According to TMZ.com there is no prenuptial agreement. Ka-ching!
As for their kids, of which they have seven, only one is a minor. In Robyn's legal papers, she seeks joint physical and legal custody of Tom, 10. She is also asking for spousal support and attorneys fees.
So what caused the split, other than Mel just being an idiot? Well, sources say that they've been growing apart over the last few years, especially since Mel's drunk driving arrest in 2006. There were also rumors that the actor was involved with another woman, which he, of course, denies.
So, there you have it. Another Hollywood marriage bites the dust.
Say it isn't so!
Sources close to Lindsay Lohan say the actress and girlfriend Samantha Ronson broke up on Friday -- and that Sam had the locks changed on their house!
"This time, Sam means it," the source said of the split.
UsMagazine.com is reporting that the girls had a big fight at a party for Sam's sister, fashion-designer Charlotte Ronson, at West Hollywood's Bar Marmont.
"[Sam] told security to look out for Lindsay and block her from getting in," an insider blabbed. "Lindsay, of course...booked a room at [the hotel] Chateau and fully intended to crash the party and make a scene."
When Lindsay finally gave up trying to get in, she wrote on Twitter, "So-you win, you broke my heart. now go away. i loved you."
But when asked about the breakup via email, LiLo denied any trouble in paradise. "Oy vey. lol. Not true. hahahaha," she told the mag.
Lindsay Lohan is SUCH a drama queen. I can't really take her anymore -- I don't know how Sam does.
Update: Linds finally admitted to the split, telling E! News, "We are taking a brief break so I can focus on myself."
It's now confirmed that when Jen got back from her European tour to promote Marley & Me, instead of coming home to a bouquet of flowers from her man, she came home to a breakup. Yup, word is that John Mayer broke up with her upon her return.
Jen recently told a British magazine, "Who ever said that every relationship has to last forever? That's hoping too much." And, about finding the perfect partner, she added, "I don't have one and I don't think it exists."
I know no one's perfect, but I think Jen needs to raise her standards. Who do you think she should date next?

What's the one thing celebrities don't want to do right after a breakup? Go on TV to talk about it, of course.
Well, that's exactly what Jimmy Kimmel had to do. The late night talk show host was scheduled to appear on The View this morning, just days after the news broke of his split with girlfriend Sarah Silverman.
Jimmy handled it extremely well, showing up on The View's set dressed as former host, Rosie O'Donnell.
When Joy Behar asked Jimmy what happened with the couple, he answered, "What do you mean, what happened? Look at me. What do you think happened? I'm a 41-year-old man with a bra filled with Koosh balls. I'm an imbecile. She couldn't date an imbecile anymore."
Awww poor Jimmy. And when Barbara Walters asked if they'd get back together, he said, "I don't know. Ask her." If only The View ladies had called up Sarah right then!

First the hilarious duo was joking around on TV about shtupping Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Then they broke our hearts and broke up. Three months later we had hope again as they reunited to try to make things work. But alas, they have it called it off one more time, giving no reason for their split.
My hope is that they'll still find a way to work things out, but I have a feeling these two are smart and if the second time wasn't a charm, they'll go their separate ways... permanently.
Late last year we had included Jimmy and Sarah in our Top 10 Hoped for Celebrity Weddings of 2009. We said this after Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt split, but now we really mean it -- if there's no hope for Jimmy and Sarah, who is there hope for?!

This next part totally brings me back to my middle school days: Miley said, "We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met. He was on a quest to meet me, and he was like, 'I think you're beautiful and I really like you.' And I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I like you so much.'"
Then Miley went on to say that "Nick and I loved each other. We still do, but we were in love with each other."
And the best quote?
After their breakup, Miley said, "At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk. And I dyed my hair black. When we were dating, Nick wanted me to get highlights – and so I did that, and I got myself looking great. And then, on the day we broke up, I was like, I want to make my hair black now – I don't want to look pretty; I want to look hard-core. I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be. And then I was like, I've got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am."
Though there are rumors that Nick is now dating Disney star Selena Gomez, Miley said that Nick will either be her best friend for life, or she'll end up marrying him.
Is that young love or what?
According to Morgan's attorney, he and his wife of 24-years, costume designer Myrna Colley-Lee, "are involved in a divorce action."
He added, “And for legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007.”
Very, very sad. Maybe that's why he avoided reporters at the Dark Knight red carpet?

Wow! Talk about the wheels falling off the bus.
Anne Hathaway's shady businessman ex Raffaello Follieri was in Federal court yesterday, and was charged with six counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. The Feds said revealed that Raf tested positive for opiates during a test Tuesday morning.
Get this -- his bail was set at $21 million!
Why so high? Well, the prosecution argued that Anne's ex was a "con man" and a "high potential risk of flight," who would flee the country and had the financial means to do so. He is being placed under home detention until he can come up with the cash. He is also facing up to 120 years in prison.
Not good. Like my mama always said, "You play, you pay."
Can you even imagine the amount of incoherent blathering Paula Abdul must have done when she and boyfriend of a little over a year, J.T. Torregiani, broke up?
According UsMagazine.com, Paula and the restaurateur have been dunzo for over two months and J.T. has packed his bags and moved out.
Though a source close to the American Idol judge says that Paula is handling the split well (She’s doing fine," a pal said. "She has moved on with her life.”), I have my doubts. You see PA had said in the recent past (while she and J.T. were happy) that she thought there was going to be a baby in her near future. She told USA Today last October that having children was "the next step in my life."
Poor Paula. There is always Simon...
Revenge is going to be sweet for Christie Brinkley.
According to Access Hollywood, the model has gone to the NY Supreme Court and asked that the details from her divorce case be made public! She totally wants to screw her ex, Peter Cook, who's little tryst with his 18-year-old assistant put a damper on their marriage.
In addition to his affair, it seems Christie's ex had a thing for Internet porn, and he loved to check out swingers sites in search of some frisky women.
Apparently, the Uptown Girl is choosing to forego privacy to embarrass the hell out of her cheating husband.
“She’s still spitting mad at Cook,” an insider said.
Hell hath no fury....
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."
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.
Australian model Sophie Monk isn't holding her tongue about the passionate (and very sudden) coupling of her ex Benji Madden and his new love, Paris Hilton. Just two weeks after Benji and Sophie put an end to their engagement plans -- and their entire relationship -- the Good Charlotte rocker has been seen attached at Paris' hip. So what does his ex think about it?
"Let me make this as plain as possible – Benji did not leave me for Paris Hilton," Sophie said in a statement, according to Australia's Herald Sun. "Benji and I did not break up badly or anything like that. We both decided, as adults, our relationship had run its course and decided to move on. I feel no animosity towards Benji and Paris at all and am very happy with life at the moment."
Womp, womp -- taking the high road. Good for her and all, but I wish she would have said what she really thinks.
To make matters worse, Paris is flaunting a new ring on her engagement finger. I just can't.
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.

John has ended his relationship with Friday Night Lights's Minka Kelly. Not too surprising if you've kept up with the soulful singer's dating history, but a tad surprising if you've ever seen Minka -- she's drop-dead gorgeous. Though the other girls John has dated in the recent past (Jessica Simpson, Cameron Diaz) are no slouches either. Guy has got something over the pretty ladies, I tell ya.
Sources tell UsMagazine.com that John, who has been seeing Minka for a few months, just, yup, wasn't into going steady. "John initiated the split," says the insider. "He just wasn't ready to commit to Minka or to anyone."
How did Minka take the news?
"She was disappointed to say the least. She was really happy but wanted a full commitment."
Obviously, that's just not in the cards for John right now. "From his perspective, he is single and has been seen out with her," the source blabbed. "Nobody ever said he was planning a wedding with anyone."
Whose heart will John break next? Stay tuned...
