Superfoxes Josh Brolin and Diane Lane are divorcing after eight years of marriage, according to their reps: “It was a mutual decision. It was amicable. It’s not ugly, it’s just over.” (Guh.) It’s the second marriage for both of them. Although this means our fantasy of James Brolin, Barbra Streisand, Josh and Diane playing mah jong on a porch somewhere after getting family-style Chinese dinner is kaput, it might be good news: a few months after their 2004 marriage, Brolin was arrested for spousal battery. The charges were dropped, and it was later referred to as a “misunderstanding.”
He also reportedly had a sinister-sounding “hands-on” conversation with Robin Wright in 2008, has gotten into multiple bar brawls and was arrested for public intoxication this past New Year’s Eve. Get it together. 😐 [TMZ, Us Weekly]
They’ve been separated for a few months already, according to this report.
Once again, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson may have gone the way of the dodo bird despite their attempts to overcome Rupert Sanders Crotchgrindinggate. However, the two are hanging on until every last Twi-Hard has snatched up the DVD of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, “since the first couple weeks are the times when the DVD will sell like wildfire. The more DVDs sold, the more money for them. So they are abiding by the request.”
Because underneath that kohl eyeliner and sulky stares they are really just cylons created to produce hundies, the source does not say, but does not need to. [Entertainmentwise]
Taylor Swift, totally one of those girls who’s into English guys because of Mr. Darcy, “was hanging out with a lot of British music stars at the [Brit awards] after-party, and she was repeatedly overheard saying she would love to find herself a British boyfriend.” (Haha, “repeatedly.” Way to play it cool.)
After her performance, which included some very grown-up thrusting (!), “Taylor was even getting her flirt on with Jordan Stephens of the Rizzle Kicks – they danced together – and she got behind the DJ decks at the shindig, at one point donning the headphones.” [Radar Online]
Unsurprisingly, this is how Mel Gibson gets his flirt on at the club, says a source. “He went over to her table and hit on her by saying, ‘You’re so [bleeping] gorgeous.’ Then he pulled out his phone and started Googling himself.” [Page Six]
