Did actress Rebecca Hall cause Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet to break up?
Since the news broke that Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes have separated after seven years of marriage, we have begun moving through the five stages of grief. We started out with denial: No! Not our pretty Kate and her clever husband! They seemed so happy! Etc. And now that sources are blabbing that the split might have been because Sam was spending a lot of time with British actress Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Starter for 10), we have moved instantly to anger. Is There Really A Best Actress Oscar Curse?

Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes separated earlier this year: Could we have seen it coming?
While looking absolutely beautiful at the Oscars earlier this month, Kate Winslet did look thinner than usual as she walked the red carpet alone. Now we learn that after seven years of marriage, she and American Beauty director Sam Mendes are divorcing. So sad!
The couple first met in 2001 to collaborate on a theater project, marrying in relative secrecy two years later in the West Indies with only three guests in attendance. Their last professional collaboration was 2008's Golden Globe-winning Revolutionary Road, where Mendes directed Winslet as an unhappy wife in a dysfunctional suburban family.

Linda Hamilton says James left her for Titanic. Well, it was a very nice ship.
James Cameron's fourth wife, Linda Hamilton, tells the UK paper The Sun that the reason their marriage ended was because he's a workaholic who's married to his movies. Um, duh, Linda. He met you at work. He met the wife after you at work. He met the two wives before you at work. See a pattern? Work Vs Love: A Man's Case For Putting Work First
Linda, who met James in 1984 when she was cast as Sarah Connor in The Terminator (which he cowrote with his then wife, producer Gale Anne Hurd), told The Sun, "Titanic was … Read More
She filed for divorce on Friday, but changed her mind on Sunday. What a difference a weekend makes.
Fresh out of rehab for anxiety (we hear public revelations of family incest will cause such), Chynna Phillips filed for divorce from her husband of 18 years, Billy Baldwin, while he was filming Gossip Girl in New York. Why I'm Done With Marriage
48 hours later, she had a change of heart.
Phillips decided to "hold on" to her marriage to Baldwin. (Bonus points for those who understood the Wilson Phillips reference. We just couldn't help ourselves.) Perhaps the musician is looking to set a record with the actor? After all, 18 years is an … Read More
Cancer, drugs and restraining orders -- this divorce is getting ugly.
We've been following the story of Dennis Hopper's terminal prostate cancer and his serious marital conflict with his wife of 14 years, Victoria. Thursday the 73-year-old actor was finally granted a restraining order from Victoria, after his doctor said the less Hopper interacts with her, the longer his life will be.
Victoria and Dennis Hopper have been going in circles over a divorce for the past year, and over the last several months, Hopper's adult daughter — and now his doctors — have been seeking ways to put distance between Dennis and the stress that Victoria and the … Read More
Jesse James's porn star ex denied visitation with daughter.
Sandra Bullock and her husband of four years, West Coast Choppers CEO Jesse James, are celebrating today, and not just because Sandra scored her first-ever Oscar nomination for her Golden Globe– and SAG Award–winning role in The Blind Side. Yesterday an Orange County judge ruled that Jesse's ex-wife, former pornographic actress Janine Lindemulder, is not entitled to visitation rights with their six-year-old daughter, Sunny, who has been living with her father and Sandra since Janine went to jail in January 2009 for tax evasion.
Sandra and Jesse have been fighting with Janine over custody of Sunny since … Read More
Former ER star is the new Tiger Woods.
Noah Wyle's split from his wife of 11 years was due in part to a year-long affair Noah had been carrying on with an actress, The National Enquirer reports, and also to another affair he had with a second actress starting last year. "They're living in separate homes near each other in the Santa Barbara area so they can each have quality time with the kids," a source told this week's Enquirer. "They've been meeting with a mediator to talk about dividing up property and custody arrangements."
Noah, who's 38, married Tracy Warbin in 1998. They met when she … Read More
"Real" "housewife" to appear in Playboy.
Kelly Bensimon, one of Bravo's "Real" New York housewives, will appear in the March issue of Playboy, US Weekly reports, and it'll be her ex-husband behind the camera. Hopefully that won't make her rumored new boyfriend, dreamy Top Chef runner-up Sam Talbot, too jealous. Well, if he is, he can come to our house and cook away the pain.
Kelly, who's 41, was married to Elle magazine's former creative director, Gilles Bensimon, until 2006. Something of a fashion-world playboy (appropriate, oui?), Gilles, who was also previously married to Elle MacPherson, shot most of Elle's covers from when … Read More
It's all about the money, friends say.
Actor Dennis Hopper, famous for his roles in Easy Rider and Apocalypse Now, while in the final stages of prostate cancer, is bizarrely filing for divorce from his fifth wife, Victoria Duffy. Rumor has it that a disgruntled daughter is behind things. Dennis Hopper's Deathbed Divorce
Friends say the divorce filing was daughter Marin's idea — his will, which was updated last summer, leaves 25 percent of his estate to Victoria.
"Marin is living there at the house with them now, as I understand, and [Hopper] apparently wanted her to become the executor of the will," a friend of Victoria's … Read More
