Looks like Drew Barrymore and Justin Long have untangled their tongues long enough
to say farewell. A rep for the actress confirms to Us that the PDA-addicted
pair has stuck a fork in their nearly yearlong romance, which was filled with as
many camera-caught kisses as public declarations of schmoopiness. "They are
still friends," a mole assures the mag. The breakup comes on the heels of aisle-walk talk and oodles of gushing over one
another's finer qualities to major media outlets. "It's healthy, it's
productive, and it's supportive," Barrymore fate-temptingly told Oprah in March
of her spit-soaked relationship with the actor-cum-Mac-guy. "I found a best
friend." Swooned Long, "She's beautiful and funny -- the most compassionate
person I've ever met." Drew, 33, also enthused about her romantic
contentment in the March issue of Vogue, bubbling, "My cheeks hurt, I'm so
happy." Responded Justin, 30, "She makes my cheeks hurt, too." Their faces are
likely going to be strained in a less blissful way when they start promoting
their upcoming film, the unfortunately titled "He's Just Not That Into You," which hits screens in February.
Jennifer Aniston must really enjoy watching John Mayer's enthusiastic facial contortions as he croons
onstage. The actress tagged along last week as his tour moved from Europe to the
U.S., and she was spotted cheering him on backstage at concert stops in such
picturesque locales as Milwaukee; Noblesville, Ind.; and Rothbury, Mich.,
reports People. Perhaps Jen's presence prompted John's comedy bit (and we use
the word "comedy" generously) at his show in St. Louis on Thursday night, when
he tweaked tabloid coverage of his love life by offering up some
pseudo-confessions. Among them: He penned the words to the Kenny Loggins ditty "Danger Zone" when he was 9; he tipped
the scales at 400 pounds at the age of 12; and he would "kill small animals and
wear their teeth as necklaces" when he was a kid. Aniston, meanwhile, is denying
a report from the London Daily Mirror that claims she had Kimberly Stewart
booted from Mayer's recent London gig, a removal that purportedly had her
yelling, "Why doesn't he want me here? Is this because of her?" Jen's mouthpiece
tells Us the story is "absolutely false." Still, she could be forgiven for not
wanting to be in proximity to Rod's daughter. Three years ago, an ungracious Kim
called the prepossessing A-lister "homely" during an interview with Blender,
twisting the knife by cattily adding, "It's not like she's gorgeous or
anything."
No, that's not Jude's daughter -- it's his
latest squeeze. |
Speaking of Kim Stewart (now there's a phrase we're unlikely to use again
this decade), her recent grass-rolling interlude with Jude Law appears to be nothing but a distant memory
for the field-playing actor. The London Sunday Mirror says Law, 35, has been
spied in the company of doll-faced, titian-haired model Lily Cole, who is 15
years his junior. They were photographed at a Radiohead concert about a week ago, and over the
weekend, Lily was spotted leaving Jude's London's home, an exit that reportedly
came after they broke bread the night before at a local bistro. "They were deep
in conversation and making each other laugh," an eatery eyewitness tells the
paper. "There was no blatant kissing but it was obvious they were more than just
friends. Jude was being very affectionate and gazing into her eyes."
Naomi Campbell is apparently the exception to
Socrates' belief that "beauty is a short-lived tyranny," because her reign
continues -- and it seems some men are still happy to be oppressed. The London
Daily Mail reports the perpetual anger management trainee has caught the eye of
Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin, whose courage in dating the rage
blackout-prone supermodel is presumably aided by his ability to afford the
latest in cell phone-deflecting technology. "He thinks she is a goddess and
Naomi believes she finally has found the right man," a Campbell pal swoons to
the paper. "Vlad is like Naomi in that he likes to have fun. But he is also a
very gentle, very calm person and that makes Naomi calm. She is in a good phase
of her life now because she is living a big love story." The paper says the
irascible catwalker hooked up with Vlad at the Cannes Film Festival in May, not
long after she was arrested in an airport dustup, and recently introduced him to
a dozen of her closest friends during a yacht-set dinner party in St. Tropez.
For those of you excited over recent chatter that Megan Fox had supposedly called off her engagement to
longtime love Brian Austin Green, prepare to be disappointed. The
Las Vegas Review-Journal spied the inflatable-lipped, Angelina Jolie-morphing hottie, 22, and the onetime
"Beverly Hills, 90210" heartthrob, 34, taking in a
performance of "O" in Sin City on Thursday.
Mandy Moore has one more name to add to her
head-scratching list of exes, who include Zach Braff and Wilmer Valderrama. The apple-cheeked starlet has
called it quits with ornery indie singer-songwriter Ryan Adams after several months of quiet coupledom. "Mandy is
one of those genuinely sweet angelic people you wish to meet your whole life,"
Adams told OK! in a statement. "I am grateful for our friendship and how it
allowed us both to grow and learn more." He blames the bust-up on the fact that
he's "allergic to paparazzi ... I found the entire speculation and subsequent
photographs and intrusions terrifying and only wish to live as normal a life as
possible, so that I might always remain punk as [bleep] AND sober." We're not
sure how "punk" it is to blab to OK!, but here's hoping both Ryan and Mandy get
a catchy tune or two out of their split.
