Blake Lively splits with Leonardo DiCaprio

By Andrea Petrou on October 5th, 2011

Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively have split up.

The ‘Inception’ star had been dating the ‘Gossip Girl’ actress since May and although they have decided to part ways, representatives for both told UsMagazine.com they will “remain friends”.

Despite refusing to confirm their relationship in the five months they were dating, Leonardo, 35, and Blake, 24, were spotted on a string of dates throughout the summer including trips on a yacht in Disneyland, California, and a water taxi in Venice, Italy.

Leonardo also treated Blake to a helicopter ride to Saint-Paul de Vence, France for a $500 lunch at La Colombe d’Or Restaurant, a stay at the $5,000-a-night suite at Hotel de Paris and a trip on a $52 million yacht.

Blake even flew to Sydney, Australia in August to celebrate her birthday with the actor, who is shooting his new movie ‘The Great Gatsby’ in the city.

The couple enjoyed a meal at exclusive restaurant Aria and were seated at one of the eatery’s best tables which boasts a panoramic view of Sydney Harbour.

A source said: “[Blake] looked gorgeous and they looked very much like a couple. They seemed to be having a really nice time and were definitely enjoying the view.”

However, Blake spent last weekend in Boston where she enjoyed a romantic meal with ‘Green Lantern’ co-star Ryan Reynolds at sushi palace O Ya in the Leather District, the Boston Herald reported.

Alexa Chung and Alex Turner call it a day on their four-year relationship

By emilyborrett on August 1st, 2011

Alexa and Alex in happier times back in 2008

It’s bad news for one of Britain’s coolest couples, as news has reached our ears that young fashion icon Alexa Chung and Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner have decided to end their much-publicised relationship.

We were surprised to hear this – we’ve always thought the couple seemed so solid – but reports have surfaced that the couple have been rowing recently and decided that enough was enough. It’s said to be a sad but happy split, as the pair say that they hope to stay friends.

Having said that, it’s hardly surprising that the two have drifted apart with their hectic schedules, as Alex is frequently on the road with his bands and Alexa has a full diary for the summer as she settles down to work in New York.

For the four years that they’ve been together, Alex and Alexa have been known as one of the UK’s coolest and most well-shod couples, appearing at pretty much every festival worth being seen at in his n’ hers festival fashion.

It’s sad news, but good luck to the couple – we don’t think that either of them will have much trouble finding love again once they’re ready to get back on the celebrity dating scene.

Cheryl Cole reportedly calls off her reconciliation with ex-husband Ashley Cole

By Andrea Petrou on July 18th, 2011

Cheryl Cole has called off her reconciliation with ex-husband Ashley Cole.

The ‘Parachute’ hitmaker has reportedly cancelled immediate plans with the soccer player and ordered him to delete her phone number following claims made by flight attendant Kerry Meades claimed to have slept with the sportsman in Los Angeles last month, just days before he flew back to the UK to seal his reunion with Cheryl at her 28th birthday party.

A source said: “Once again Ashley appears to have outdone himself. Just as Cheryl’s getting back on track … he does this. She is humiliated.

“Ashley had organised a family gathering, a barbecue, for when he got back from pre-season training in the Far East. This has now been scrapped. Cheryl told him on the phone yesterday that clearly Ashley isn’t yet ready to be a committed family man. At one point they had a blazing row and Cheryl basically said she was through with him and told Ashley to delete her number and leave her alone.”

However, the Girls Aloud star hasn’t completely turned her back on Ashley – who she originally dumped following revelations he cheated on her with several women during their marriage – and there is a possibility she will agree to take him back again.

The insider added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Cheryl is determined to keep her head down now and focus on work. What will be with Ashley will be. But it can wait.

“Although, in his defence, they weren’t officially back together when he had this fling so technically they were free agents then.”

Kerry – who first met Ashley in 2004 – says he showed no signs of wanting Cheryl back when they slept together and urged the pop beauty to dump him for good.

She said: “The whole time I was with him, he acted like a single man. When he cut off contact with me, I knew I had been dumped. It made me feel used and dirty, like I was a piece of meat.

“I don’t think Ashley has any idea how to be faithful to a woman and I am certain that he will never change. I feel sorry for Cheryl. I would leave him now before it is too late.”

Taylor Swift’s fragrance Wonderstruck was inspired by falling in love

By Andrea Petrou on July 18th, 2011

Taylor Swift’s fragrance Wonderstruck was inspired by falling in love.

The pop star has collaborated with Elizabeth Arden to create her first perfume and Taylor revealed the name came from her song ‘Enchanted’ about meeting a special someone.

She told WWD: “I share personal life experiences through my music, and my fragrance will allow me to share these experiences with my fans in a completely different and new way. Falling in love is a moment every girl daydreams about and Wonderstruck represents that magical feeling of promise and hope and intrigue. It was fascinating to learn that you can layer so many different scents to create a beautiful end result.”

The new scent -which will be rolled out worldwide over two years starting in September – features freesia, green tea, apple blossom, raspberry and dewberry and Taylor likened choosing the scent to planning an album launch.

She said: “Writing songs is a process unlike anything else, and I’ll never experience anything like it. However, coming up with ideas for this fragrance and the packaging and message of it reminded me of what it’s like to plan an album launch.

“You come up with a theme that represents all these tiny moving parts, a sum of all the planning and creating. Then it goes out into the world and becomes a part of people’s daily lives.”

Gallery: George Clooney splits up with Elisabetta Canalis and we look at her style

By Andrea Petrou on June 23rd, 2011

George Clooney fans will be celebrating this morning with the news that George Clooney has split with Elisabetta Canalis after nearly two years together.

The 50-year-heart throb – who has previously dated British beauty Lisa Snowdon and was married to actress Talia Balsam for four years until 1993 – has released a joint statement with Elisabetta confirming the split, and asked for “privacy” in the wake of the break-up.

The pair said: “We are not together anymore. It’s very difficult and very personal and we hope everyone can respect our privacy.”

George and 32-year-old Elisabetta were seen just last week on a night out at the Il Gatto Nero restaurant in Lake Como, Italy, and she has previously revealed she hoped to marry – despite the ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ star saying he never would again.

She said: “I am a firm believer in marriage, in the future I will be married, but for the time being I am happy as I am.”

Discussing his opinion on marriage recently, George – who is currently filming a role in ‘Gravity’ alongside Sandra Bullock – said he had given it a chance.

He said: “I was married. I gave it a shot.”

We can’t but feel sorry for the Italian actress, who seemed to have the style and sophistication that matched George’s.

Unlike Lisa Snowdon she went for the Italian chic look consisting of long slinky ballgown dresses in rich golds and reds as well as little black numbers. See her style gallery below.

Lady Gaga would never go looking for love

By Andrea Petrou on May 25th, 2011

Lady Gaga would never go looking for love.

The ‘Judas’ singer – who recently split from boyfriend Luc Carl – insists relationships tend to happen at unexpected times, but doesn’t think being romantically involved with someone is the key to happiness.

She said: “I would say don’t go looking for love, let love find you. That’s when it will happen.

“But you definitely don’t need a man to be happy, and that’s an important thing to remember.”

Gaga also admitted she believes people can fall in love multiple times throughout their life, and thinks everyone has a soulmate.

She added to more! magazine: “I believe you can fall in love over and over again.

“I do believe in soul mates. And that’s because I’m a bit of an old romantic at heart – or a bad romantic.”

The outspoken star vowed never to change herself for anyone else.

She added: “A guy needs to love me for who I am. This is the real me, so whatever you’re looking for, you’re not going to find anything else.”

The ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker reunited with Luc Carl last July after a break but has revealed she is now single, and hasn’t been dating anyone else since the couple called time on their on/off romance.

A source recently said: “Lady Gaga has told everyone she plans to get married. She has said she wants a fairytale wedding in a castle.

“We finish the European leg in London just before Christmas and the timing is perfect for the wedding.”

Has Rihanna missed her Vogue opportunity?

By Kimberley Foster on June 1st, 2009

Jingle Ball Rihanna.jpgIt seems that Rihanna cover for Vogue is in jeopardy in the aftermath of those nude photos of her and Chris Brown that were recently leaked onto the internet.

The singing superstar was approached by Anna Wintour to star in an upcoming issue of the glossy mag. They were reportedly “thick as thieves” at the Met Costume Gala last month.

“Anna told her Vogue absolutely loves her and really wanted to work with her. Rihanna was ecstatic,” a source told Star magazine.

However, it is now believed that the editrix has retracted her offer in response to the photos that were allegedly taken by Brown, although he denies it.

“Anna hasn’t returned any of her calls. Rihanna’s so upset… She hopes the people at Vogue change their minds,” the source added.

And so their turbulent relationship has cost Rihanna again. Shame!

jesusluz_madonna_interviewjustfriends.jpgMadonna might seem smitten with her so-called beau, Jesus Luz (check out their steamy photo-shoot for W for evidence). But according to the man himself, they are “just friends.”

The 23-year-old model sat down with Brazilian TV show Fantástico, to open up about his relationship with the Queen of Pop for the first time.

I can’t say anything else besides that. She is a friend, and nothing but a friend.”

“We were introduced by photographer Steven Klein. I thought she was a wonderful person, full of positive energy,” he added.
