An Unexpected Split—NOT!

I would have been more surprised if they had stayed together… News flash for all you celebrity couple watchers: Denise Richards and Richie Sambora have called it quits. According to TV’s “Entertainment Tonight,” the couple’s reps confirmed that the pair broke up about two months ago. It may seem strange that it took most media outlets eight weeks to report the the news that two are no longer together, but if you consider that Richards and Sambora were still appearing at personal and public functions on each other’s arms I could see why some were thrown for a loop. Personally, … Continue reading

The End of Vincennifer

Vincennifer? I just made that up… though, sadly, for fans of Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston I am not making up the news that the two have split. That’s right, it is now official: After more than a year together, Aniston and Vaughn have decided to part ways. “After Jennifer’s trip to London several weeks ago, Jennifer and Vince mutually agreed to end their relationship but continue to be good friends today,” the couple’s reps recently told PEOPLE magazine. The statement comes after weeks of speculation that Aniston and Vaughn’s relationship had been facing some hardships. The tabloids have been … Continue reading

Yet Another Celebrity Split

I must admit, of all the peculiar Hollywood match-ups that have been made legal I thought this one would last at least a couple of years… okay at least a year… okay at least six months. But, I was wrong. According to court papers, Pamela Anderson has filed for divorce from Kid Rock after less than four months of marriage. Anderson’s rep told PEOPLE magazine: “It wasn’t a happy Thanksgiving.” On Monday, Anderson posted the following message on her Web site: ”Divorce. Yes, it’s true. Unfortunately impossible.” I take it Anderson meant that the relationship was “unfortunately impossible” to continue … Continue reading

Britney Spears Files For Divorce

They said it wouldn’t last… and I guess they were right. According to various news sources, pop star Britney Spears has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Kevin Federline. The news was confirmed by a Los Angeles Superior Court spokesperson Pat Kelly who told reporters: “Yes, it’s confirmed. It was filed today, on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.” According to court documents, Spears gives a separation date of Monday and asks that each party pay their own legal fees and waives her right to spousal support. She also requests that certain assets, including “miscellaneous jewelry and other … Continue reading

A Celebrity Split I Didn’t See Coming

I was shocked to hear the news: Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have separated. After seven years of marriage, the couple released a statement to the media via their rep that reads: “Reese and Ryan remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time.” The famous couple has two children daughter Ava, 7, and son Deacon, 3. I feel especially bad for them. I am aware of the much talked about “seven-year-itch” in marriages, yet I am still stunned by the announcement. The couple seemed to … Continue reading

“Desperate Housewives” Star and Basketball Star Boyfriend Call It Quits

Okay, I admit, I was shocked after hearing this one (though I’m not sure why, considering the longevity of a Hollywood romance is virtually an oxymoron), but alas various media outlets are reporting that “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria and San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker have split up. PEOPLE magazine reports it got a tip from a source that said the demise of the romance is due to distance: “It’s distance and demanding careers and not living in same city. It didn’t happen yesterday. It’s been going on for a while,” the source said. I first heard about … Continue reading

Break Up of a “NON-Couple”

They are a couple. They aren’t a couple. They are “just” friends. They are “more than friends.” It’s enough to make your head spin. At least that’s the way I feel when I read about Heather Locklear and David Spade’s relationship. Now, PEOPLE Magazine is reporting that the pair is “taking a break from their relationship.” So, what does that mean? “Heather is still going through a lot with Denise (Richards) and (estranged husband) Richie (Sambora),” the magazine quotes an unidentified source. “It’s just too soon for her to get serious. They are still friends. It’s not ugly.” Another source … Continue reading

They Said It Wouldn’t Last… They Were Right

So much for “’Til death do us part.” Well, chock one up for the critics… they were right, this time. Reps for Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro announced that the couple has indeed split. Or in their words: “amicably separated.” Electra, a former “Baywatch” star and Navarro former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist and current host of the TV show “Rock Star: Supernova” were married in November 2003. Ironically, their lavish nuptials were documented on the 2004 MTV reality show “‘Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave.” (Hmmm, didn’t recently divorced Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson also appear on … Continue reading

Why Christie Brinkley Kicked Her Husband To The Curb

A few days ago I blogged about Christie Brinkley’s surprise split from her husband of 10 years Peter Cook. At the time of the announcement no reason was given for Brinkley’s decision to file for divorce. Now, a New York newspaper says it has uncovered the reason why Brinkley kicked her husband out of their Hampton mansion. The New York Post reports that Cook has been having an affair with a 19-year-old who he allegedly promised he would dump his supermodel wife for. But, that’s just the beginning of what the paper reports is a long list of “poor decisions” … Continue reading
