After three years of dating, Vampire Diaries' onscreen and real-life couple Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have broken up. But TV's low-key equivalent of K-Stew and R-Patz will stay civil on the show because — quoth a source — they're "consummate professionals," and "will continue to work together and remain best friends, which is where the relationship started."
There's a very good chance that this is untrue, but there's a rumor floating around that Dobrev gave Somerhalder an ultimatum once he was on the list of actors being considered for the role of Christian Grey in Fifty Shades: Get Dobrev in as Ana, or else don't accept the part. Cold. [Us Weekly]
Britney Spears appears on the cover of Shape looking happy in a white bikini. She's been trying to get fitter to prepare for her upcoming Vegas show in the fall.
"I like [working out]. Then again, I hate it. I'm in my 30s now, so I have to work harder to keep it up. "The [Vegas] performances won't be simple — they'll be a massive party from start to finish. And to pull this off, I have to be in top condition and running at full speed."
(Back in 2009, she told Glamour: "I have had to work hard at getting it back to where it used to be. I used to be obsessed with working out. …[now], three days a week is cool, even two.") She's on the Nutrisystem plan — a shake for breakfast and lunch plus a dinner of protein and vegetables. She also says she tries to make fewer chocolate chip cookie batches for Jayden and Sean or "I'll eat the whole bowl of dough." [USA Today, Us Weekly]
Last month Luke and Chris Hemsworth had a romantic intervention for their brother Liam (a brontervention? A brintervention?) during which they tried to convince him not to marry "Just Being" Miley Cyrus. Whether it worked for good, only time will tell, but the two have slowed down with the wedding plans and are supposedly taking some time apart. [Page Six]
Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson have not spoken in six years, a stark departure from their hyper-articulate, cerebral married life as exhibited in the Maysles brothers' documentary series Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. And furthermore:
"What is the best thing about no longer having Joe Simpson as a father-in-law?" Andy Cohen asked Lachey on Watch What Happens Live with the rest of 98 Degrees.
He replied: "The best thing about not having Joe Simpson as a father-in-law [is]...I don't have to play grab-ass under the table on Easter Sunday."
I know we're so so sick of Farrah Abraham, but uhhh, I guess she told Entertainment Tonight she's made that porn because she's really into "privacy" like how Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus are into "privacy"?
“I was under the belief [that filming with Deen] would help better protect me and my privacy. I was like, ‘If this guy is so professional, and everything is going to be fine, then I was like, I’m happier with this choice.’”
Logic at work. [Gossip Cop]
