Romance Report for Dec. 12
Before she hooked up with Richard Branson's
moniker-challenged nephew in the fall, the Oscar winner had been enjoying a lightbulb romance (off and on) with British model Louis Dowler, who is still smarting from getting the heave-ho.
"I don't think Kate behaved well," Dowler kvetches to the London's Mail on Sunday, "and it is still very raw for me."
The pretty slab of beefcake says he was left near tears after Winslet hit it off with Rocknroll (nee Ned Abel Smith) during what was supposed to be a romantic getaway in August to Branson's Caribbean estate, which ended with the actress rescuing the mogul's mother from a devastating fire.
"I was in love with her, and you can't switch that off overnight," sighs Dowler, who was Winslet's rebound man after her split from husband Sam Mendes. "I'm not sure Kate treated me well."
According to the square-jawed looker, "I don't want to go into details, but it wasn't a straightforward breakup. I'm a laid-back guy, so I am not walking around with a long face, but I do still hold a torch for her. ... I thought we were inseparable. I certainly haven't found anyone else since."
Just what a kids soccer game needs: grownups acting like children. On Saturday in Los Angeles, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian snuggled up on the sidelines as they cheered on his 8-year-old son, Mason. Not unusual behavior for the PDA- and spotlight-adoring pair, but this time, it turns out Eddie's ex, Brandi Glanville, was sitting
within spitting distance.
It doesn't take Dear Abby to answer whether it's a mite insensitive to pucker up while in proximity to the wife you cheated on with the woman you cheated with. But LeAnn and Eddie appeared oblivious, seemingly too wrapped up in emphasizing their domestic bliss for the paparazzi to worry about Brandi.
When asked about the uncomfortable situation on
Twitter, Glanville shrugged, "They are my children, I wouldn't miss the last soccer game if I could help it."
Meanwhile, the exes are still squabbling over holiday visitation, with threats reportedly flying back and forth over the consequences of violating the custody agreement.
When she's not busy acting on "Gossip Girl" or romancing famous bachelors, Blake Lively is a foodie who loves to bake. So, color us unsurprised that stories about her dates with Ryan Reynolds tend to focus on what they ate. Case in point: People mag has every last detail on the breakfast they shared in New York on
Saturday with the starlet's actress sister, Robin, and her husband.
For those keeping track of their culinary habits, Blake, 24, and Ryan, 35, scarfed down doughnuts, biscuits (bacon, egg and cheese), pirogues, tacos de huevos and muffins (variety unknown) during their meal at the Stanton Social.
Oh, and they acted "very cuddly" as they giggled and leaned on each other in a booth.
The PDA continued during a coffee stop a few hours later, with Lively making small talk with her fellow caffeine addicts.
And for the detail-obsessed, People has a suspiciously precise rundown of the pair's ensembles (at left): Blake wore a "curve-hugging charcoal shift, netted tights and boots," while Ryan sported "checked slacks, Chucks and a Henley layered under a sweater." And let's not forget his jaunty tweed cap.
Looks like Jennifer Lopez will have someone to kiss when the clock strikes midnight on Jan. 1, because her budding romance with 24-year-old backup dancer Casper Smart shows no signs of slowing down. Fresh off trips to Hawaii and Morocco, the age-mismatched pair "partied all night" (after presumably rock 'n' rolling all day) in the
VIP area of Los Angeles hot spot Boulevard 3 on Saturday, says TMZ. J.Lo, 42, hit the dance floor with her dewy squeeze, and they were "very affectionate."
Miley Cyrus brought out the big guns at CNN's Heroes event. No, not those guns: her strapping boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth. The back-on pair shared several loving looks on the red carpet, and the "Hunger Games" actor showed admirable restraint in refraining from openly ogling the cavernous cleavage of the popster's buttery
Cavalli gown.
