Superstar Couples

Actress Kate Hudson has been spotted with cycling athlete Lance Armstrong, this past Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, which started rumors that the two might be dating.

They were seen dining at an upscale restaurant, then the next day at another restaurant with Lance’s three children joining them. They also attended an Saturday night afterparty together after a Kid Rock Concert.

Could they be dating? Or are they just two friends simply hanging out? Even though the they enjoy each other’s company there’s been no sign of romance so far.

Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson recently broke up, the couple had been dating off and on since Hudson’s divorce in 2007.

Kate Hudson’s most recent movies are Fool’s Gold and My Best Friend’s Girl, and she’s currently working on Bride Wars and Big Eyes for 2009.

Singer Shania Twain, 42, and her longtime husband, Robert “Mutt” Lange, 52, are separating.

The couple has been married for fourteen years. They met after Lange saw Twain in one of her earliest music videos, and he decided he had to meet her.

Twain, Lange, and their young son, Eja D’Angelo, who is six, have been living a secluded life in Tour-de-Peilz, Switzerland. Shania Twain spoke about her decision to leave the United States in one interview, explaining that she wanted to live a normal life with her son, and that in Switzerland she was able to remain anonymous while she raised her child.

Shania Twain is originally from Canada, and grew up in Timmins Ontario, if you haven’t already heard the inspiring story of her childhood, you should, her life story is amazing.

Lange is a successful record producer who does not enjoy any kind of media attention. He has not given an interview in decades and a photo of this private man is hard to come by.

Liv Tyler, 30, and Royston Langdon, 36, are separating. The couple married in 2003 and have a 4-year-old son together.

Although they have confirmed their separation, Liv and Royston have requested privacy during this difficult time, and said that they hope to remain friends while they raise their son, Milo.

For days, the breakup between Chelsy Davy and Price Harry rocked not only in Britain, but also outside of it. Imagine reading one of Austria’s big newspapers and finding it as one of its major headlines reporting their split?

After three years, Chelsy said adieu to Harry.

The poor girl must have realised something. And I salute her if she continues to get on with her life. A future with UK’s Prince Harry is unthinkable. Why? The 23-year-old member of the English monarchy is still, sad to say, immature.

He is desperately searching for his own identity, to be felt useful. And he is not ready for a serious relationship. A trait that he might have inherited from his father. Right now, he wants to make use of being an officer in the British army.

If you have a boyfriend who thinks fun, fun, fun all the time. It is not fun going out with him anymore. Or, is it?

Harry has lots of dreams and he is certainly confused at this time. Meaning, he has to sort out himself first.

Chelsy, the daughter of a multi-miilionaire from Zimbabwe, doesn’t understand this. She wants a lover, someone who will stand by her.

What did she do for love? She decided to move to UK to be with the man she loves and enrolled at the Leeds University. But Harry is not amused.

The young prince has a penchant for drowning himself in alcohol, parties. Once he even showed up very late, one hour for sure, at the airport to fetch his girlfriend. Last Friday, he was seen getting cosy with a pretty brunette after spending €4,000 in alcohol.

Though Chelsy is known to share this habit with her prince, she seems to be more sensible than him.

Chelsy is said to have given up her rich lifestyle in Zimbabwe to take postgraduate law degree at the Leeds University. This without the comforts of her parents’ guidance who are living in Zimbabwe.

Compared to a big house with many rooms in the tropical African continent, she is renting a 50-pound a week flat in a student’s area of a dreary, grey England.

Currently, her father, Charles Davy, is facing corruption charges for allegedly sustaining from his safari business to controversial Robert Mugabe’s tyrannical government. With an estimated £ 20million fortune , he is said to be one of the few white Zimbabweans to prosper under Mugabe’s rule. He is also threatened to be included on the list of the European Union banned African nationals if the charges were true.

At first glance this doesn’t trouble Chelsy, who has her own sorrows.

The couple met sometime in 2004 through a mutual friend.

Hollywood is one huge family and it is not at all a secret that a constellation of the same people hooks up all the time.

Take the case of Kelly Slater and Leonardo DiCaprio. The 35-year-old surfer has been seen in the company of Israeli model Bar Rafaeli, 22. She and former boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio, 32, were rumoured to have split. And at the end of last month, Kelly was caught in a skirmish with the paparazzi after he acted violently refusing to be photographed together with Bar. He was detained after that. This was the price he paid for flirting with Leonardo’s girlfriend.

Bar and the actor went to Israel in May. There were talks that the two were engaged but after months of inactivity, in the end, Leonardo isn’t ready to settle down unlike the model who is very much into forming a family and become a mother.

Now, to refresh your memory, this is the same Kelly Slater who got involved with Leonardo’s ex-girlfriend Gisele Bündchen, who is now dating New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

As soon as Gisele and Leonardo broke up, the supermodel hooked up with Kelly in 2006. It didn’t last long.

Is Bar a wannabe Gisele? Or is there some sort of a rivalry between Kelly and Leonardo? Take your pick!

Deborah Santana just said goodbye to her famous Latin guitar hero, Carlos Santana, of 34 years.

Geez, thirty-four years! What a waste.

Just because the revered guitarist has been reputed to be unfaithful to his wife.

She filed for divorce on October 19 citing the overused reason of “irreconcilable differences,” according to the petition filed in Marin County Superior Court.

The couple’s publicist Michael Jensen said that the breakup is “a private matter and there is no comment.”

In 2005 Deborah released a memoir, “Space in which she wrote about her husband’s unfaithfulness. In turn, the award-winning guitarist acknowledged some of those “irreconcilable differences”

“I sincerely apologized to her and to my kids when I wasn’t in my right mind and did something hurtful. It has helped me become more humble and to try harder to be the man she wants me to be.”

According to her memoir, she married Carlos at 22 and admitted that she was struggling between two images: As a feminist in the ’70s “that told me I did not need a man to make me whole, and the provincial Christian teachings of my youth that said woman is help meet to her husband.”

For many years the two have become sparring partners. In 1998, they formed the nonprofit Milagro Foundation to benefit underprivileged children.

Earlier this year they announced plans to open several Mexican restaurants in the San Francisco Bay area.

The couple have three children together, son Salvador, who has a band and toured Europe with his father last year, and daughters Angelica and Stella.

Santana once told Rolling Stone that, without Deborah, he’d “probably be a hobo.”

Thanks to his duet with Rob Thomas via the song “Smooth” in 2000, the younger generation has discovered him today.

The Italian Casanova has been dead for more than a decade but his contribution to arts and cinema should not be missed by a cinéaste.

Nothing is better than spending the days watching good old movies from the ’60s and ’70s when you are sick and bedridden. At least, that’s what I did. Digging the stories and films of the Hollywood heyday where artists from Europe and America collaborated to bring us quality works.

Marcello Mastroianni is more than “La dolce vita.” If you find him delectable, check out the excellent film “La Grande bouffe.”

He was married once and had a string of partners in between. He had two children. One of them is Chiara Mastroianni, an actress and fashion designer, with French actress Catherine Deneuve, who served as his lover during the ’70s. She was present at his bedside along with the actor’s wife Flora Carabella when he died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 72. That time his lover was author and filmmaker Anna Maria Tato.

In 1973, the actor revealed in an interview that he loathed women. The actor, who portrayed breaking the hearts of his onscreen partners, pointed at Faye Dunaway, his costar from the film “Amanti,” a story of an American glam designer who is dying of terminal illness wanting to spend the rest of her life in the arms of a very passionate Italian engineer spending their love affair in a villa.

“I am afraid of women. I am so sad that I have lost her. I never found unhappy moment I spent in her arms. Still I cannot understand how love like that can be over within a week. It was my fault. Work was more important than her. Faye flew to Madrid, met another man there. I was forgotten.”

Love comes and goes.

And what you do for love is incredible. Look what Kirsten did in order to conquer rocker Johnny. She flew to North London to live with the rock singer not minding the household work and making herself comfy in his rock ‘n’ roll flat.

Theirs was a whirlwind romance. What the public has witnessed in May this year, however, didn’t last long.

The two are rumoured to have been separated since August. And now the Razorlight singer confirmed and cited the differences between him and the young actress. Mr. Borrell is the typical man and Kirsten is the modern woman.

The singer doesn’t believe in sharing the house chores and would love to hand over these tasks solely to the woman. Moreover, the musician’s slob lifestyle didn’t match the actress’ cleanliness and glamour. He told Contactmusic.com (via Seitenblicke, in German) why.

At first he was blunt over his machismo complex.

“We were leading different lifestyles. It’s over. She believes in equality, that a bloke should chip in with the housework. Fair enough, but I’m messy. She couldn’t stand the smell of stale fags (cigarettes), beer and kebabs in her nice living room. Can’t say I blame her really.”

Later he tried to justify that he was just darn busy and it was the reason for his reluctance to help out the actress.

“I’ve been incredibly busy recording our latest album and I’d be rolling in at all hours, when she’d be getting up to go on set. I’m very much a night owl, and she’s up with the lark. She’s a really cool girl and she loves London and Britain. It was just one of those things.”

Johnny might haven’t heard the word “compromise.” Perhaps, he is too creative for the actress. His own band mates complained that the singer cannot contain the flowing of his creative juice. They urge him to go solo. I guess that’s what he does best.

After three years of being together, Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams called it quits.

The two met on the set of “Brokeback Mountain” and have a daughter Matilda Rose, who was born in 2005. Even before Matilda arrived there were reports that the Australian actor and Michelle split up. It was even claimed that they were engaged.

According to US Weekly via the Sydney Morning Herald, a source confirmed that they “quietly and amicably split a few weeks ago.”

“The relationship had been rocky recently. They tried very hard to make it work but finally decided to separate. They just grew apart.
“They have a beautiful daughter and they are both committed to being great parents.”

Christina Applegate and Jonathon Shaech are divorced!

I didn’t know that they were even married! And they have been together for four years!

Married in Palm Springs, the two decided to end their union, which was filed in December 2005, citing the overused phrase “irreconcilable differences” in Los Angeles Superior Court.

According to People, the childless couple’s worth isn’t that bad. Compared to us, the ordinary mortals, the 37-year-old Jonathon, emphasise on the “on,” who made it big through the bubblegum movie about the rise of a bubblegum pop band “That Thing You Do,” is about $2 million whereas Christina has accounts totaling over $6 million.

The actress who played the lovable yet ditzy Kelly Bundy from the much-beloved “Married….With Children” and Jonathon would like to settle it in style. Christina will get their Los Angeles homes and the Lexus. While he keeps the 2001 Mercedes-Benz, “but has asked for custody of his cement Buddha.”

After I went under a week of heavy sickness and my little boy had a small accident, Hollywood is brimming with strange news and bitter, if not civil, breakups.

Like what they say there’s nothing like show business. It runs nonstop and it doesn’t end. Errr, the mishaps….

Who doesn’t enjoy the slapstick comedy of “Two and a Half Men” is a wuzz?

I guess, when you are bedridden you learn to savour its vicious humour and real-life fun especially if Elvis Costello is one of the honoured guests. And I admit it is really funny. So why Charlie Sheen, 41, who thinks himself larger than life, declared that former wife Denise Richards would like to have another baby with him?

Ever since splitting up the ex-couple has been known to wash the details of their short marriage in front of the public. And recently, there was a talk of sperm donation. Huh?

Talking to syndicated TV show “Entertainment Tonight” Charlie said that there “was a request for a donation.”

“Without getting into it here … there is a specific document relating to this that I am going to reserve for a court.”

When asked if he would let his ex-wife carry his would-be third child.

“I would sooner, in exactly what I’m wearing, walk on the surface of the moon. Does that answer it?”

I am not sure how could Denise possibly manage to take care of the couple’s two daughters–Sam and Lola. No wonder she denied the allegation.

“I don’t want another child right now. I have my hands full and am focusing on my children, my mother and my career. I thought I was past all this stuff.”

Do you remember when Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp were the toast of Hollywood? They were branded the coolest couple in the early 1990s. I wasn’t a fan but my friends were. They were so sad upon hearing that Johnny and Winona broke off their engagement.

What would happen if the two indeed got married? Would they be divorced? Do you think they would have children?

Now that is over Winona’s father, author and editor Michael Horowitz, is open to talk about the relationship. He was asked by Vogue, August edition, to reveal what happened. If not for Winona’s parents and her young age, the union with Johnny could have been pushed through.

In a joint interview with Vogue magazine, Horowitz recalled: “They were the hottest couple in the US at that time, like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are now. They were cool.”

Ryder said: “But you stopped a wedding.”

To which Horowitz replied: “We loved Johnny but you were 17.”

Was Johnny upset after the separation?

“We had dinner soon after, and I didn’t get a bad vibe.”

Johnny met Winona at a film premiere and from then on the two were inseparable. They starred in the movie “Edward Scissorhands,” a movie written and directed by Tim Burton. Earlier, Winona starred in another of the cult director’s first film, “Beetlejuice,” as a depressive gothic teenager. Johnny, meanwhile, has befriended the director and starred in many of his movies.

“There’s been nothing in my 27 years that’s comparable to the feeling I have with Winona.”

Five months after their first date, the couple was engaged; three years later they split. A friend of Johnny’s revealed to People.

“He was so desperately in love with Winona that when they broke up, he wouldn’t admit it was over for the longest time.”

What had become of the famous tattoo on the actor’s right biceps, which read “Winona Forever”? It soon had undergone some alterations with the missing “na” on the Winona. It is now read “Wino Forever.” People magazinealso remarked Johnny’s “fiancée fetish.” Before his involvement with Winona, he was also briefly engaged to actresses Sherilyn Fenn and Jennifer Grey.

He must have changed his view after his relationships failed. His engagement with model Kate Moss went down the drain. Since meeting French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis in 1998, the couple will enter a decade of being together. And they aren’t engaged. So far.

Bootleggers, memento lovers, collectors, word up!

Kate Moss is scared, so scared that she fears her intimate life–captured in video–with Pete Doherty will be in the wrong hands. Most of all, someone would make money out of that fragile relationship.

Everybody is pointing his finger at Pete.

According to The Sun, the pair armed themselves with a camcorder everywhere they travelled. This worries Kate, who found out that there are two tapes missing. Dubbed their video diaries, most of them are mementos of their being together.

They captured hours of material of special occasions, antics on the tour bus and even behind closed doors at home. They took the camcorder on a holiday to Ibiza earlier this year and also recorded themselves at Glastonbury Festival.

It was claimed that Kate destroyed six of the eight tapes after they had a messy breakup.

A source revealed: “There are still some bits and pieces floating about of Pete with Kate. She has got rid of most of it. Six out of eight tapes have been destroyed.
“But she wanted to bury the lot before he could humiliate her by selling them or putting them on the internet.”

Though they should be private some clips ended on the net like the infamous video where the couple was caught in Kate’s Cotswolds home, Pete strumming on his guitar, making up a song and the model dressed in a see-through gown trying to sing backups while uttering “fuck” in every line.

Tis the problem when you thought you are John and Yoko. Funny thing is Kate and Pete are not.

“It was fine when they were together. Kate thought it was romantic — all a bit JOHN LENNON and YOKO ONO.
“But Kate could then obviously decide with Pete what was going to be made public.”

Now Kate is concerned that if Pete could write details of her intimate moments with Kate through his published diary-essay “The Books Of Albion,” the model is unsure about the way the troubled singer of Babyshambles could handle their remaining tapes.

Kate is now moving house and is currently taking shelter in the mansion of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood.

Courtney Love is spending her time with comedian Noel Fielding. On her birthday concert four nights ago at the Bush Hall in West London celebrating her 43rd year, Noel was spotted getting chummy with the singer.

The two were seen hailing for a cab after the show. This is not the first time Courtney dared to get close to the comedian. Last Christmas she tried to hook up with him only to be dissuaded when Noel told her flatly that he had a girlfriend, Dee Plume of electro band Robots in Disguise. But rumours suggested that the two broke up due to Noel’s flirtations. Though he categorically dismissed it. Nope, not because of Courtney but because of Pixie Geldof.

P Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, and Kim Porter just couldn’t make it for another decade.

The rap mogul’s publicist told the media that he and longtime girlfriend Kim are not an item anymore. This came after P Diddy refused to confirm the break-up reports were not true.

“Diddy’ spokeswoman Keesha Johnson announced the news yesterday, five days after the rapper/designer blasted rumours of a separation.

New York Post’s Page Six via People reported that Kim, the mother of Diddy’s children–Christian, 9, and newborn twin daughters D’Lila Star and Jessie James, left the New York City apartment she shared with the rap star.

Though P Diddy has been romantically linked to actress Sienna Miller, their publicists commented that the split didn’t have anything to do with her.

“There is literally nothing between them,” the rep told PEOPLE last week. A rep for Miller also said that “reports of Sienna being linked with P. Diddy are categorically untrue.”

The couple shared a stormy relationship ever since they got together in the ’90s. P Diddy upon meeting Kim for the first time admitted that she was different from the other women he encountered citing she made him nervous and was intimidating. There was a time during their many separations when Kim went to court demanding the rap mogul, whose fortune of $346 millions earned him the richest person in hip-hop, to pay child support for their son Christian.

“She kind of made me nervous. She wasn’t like a New York girl. She was Bohemian, mixed with Georgia-peach hospitality. I got the idea she’d like doing stuff like walking barefoot in the grass. I didn’t think I could get her to like me.
“She was smooth, you know, like ice. She’s cool and collected and thinks before she speaks. You meet a lot of young ladies, and they just don’t do that. Kim was never pressed; she was always in control.”

In 2001 he and with Jennifer Lopez got together while making the latter’s first album. After two years P Diddy reconciled with Kim.

There was no reason the two separated this time. P Diddy is known to shy away from marrying Kim and confessed that he didn’t have any intentions to marry her as he was still struggling to be a “good boyfriend.”

“It’s not a reflection on how much I love Kim. It’s that I’m just learning how to be a good boyfriend. When I’m finished with this step, I’ll move on to the next.”

Looks like there will be no more wedding bells between the two in the future.
