Scarlett Johansson & Ryan Reynolds Split Up! Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds have separated. "After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage," they say in a joint statement. "We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated." According to a source, Johansson initiated the split. The actress has started apartment-hunting in New York City and is currently in Jamaica with some girlfriends, the source adds. However, last month the pair were spotted looking cozy together at New York hotspot Avenue. Johansson, 26, and Reynolds, 34, tied the knot in a quiet September 2008 ceremony in a wilderness retreat in Vancouver, which is Reynolds's hometown. The ceremony was attended only by a handful of close family and friends – and no photos were released. "It was my mission to have a moment of privacy, to do something for myself," Johansson told the Los Angeles Times of the hush-hush affair. "I was happy with the results of that." The pair remained fairly mum about their relationship, only rarely giving up small tidbits about their married life. But the actress told In Style in April 2010 that she enjoyed cooking for Reynolds – and her domestic life with him. "There's a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain, in a way. You've got your home in that other person."

"He's sorry," Duhamel's rep tells PEOPLE. The TMZ account also alleges that Duhamel was asked by a male flight attendant to turn off the device three separate times.

"I am happy in a relationship," Lachey said at the time. For her part, Minnillo hasn't been quiet about her desire to marry her longtime beau. "Once again it looks as if I'm always the bridesmaid but never the bride," she said, gently ribbing Lachey last year. As for how they keep their relationship hot, Minnillo recently revealed that the couple shower together twice a day. "It's not a sexual thing and it's not a romantic thing," she said.

Another pop princess on the scene this Halloween is Katy Perry. The newlywed's blue wig worn in her California Gurls video is especially popular – as are The Town nun masks and Toy Story characters.

Well, if Louis Dowler is anything to go by, it’s luxe fashion all the way. For his girlfriend Kate Winslet‘s 35th birthday last month, he paid the Belstaff store in London a visit and came away with the perfect gift—one of their classic leather jackets. Store manager of the Mayfair boutique, Fabio de Matteis tells PEOPLE: “He wanted a special present for Kate and took his time looking at the whole collection.” After browsing the British brand’s iconic selection of leather jackets, shoes and accessories, he opted for the Triumph jacket, a fitted, belted style with stud detailing. And Dowler wasn’t shy when it came to gushing about the birthday girl. “He said how much Kate loved her motorcycle but she only had masculine things to wear on it, so he wanted to treat her to something more feminine. ” Obviously, the jacket, which retails for more than $1,000, was a hit as Winslet has already been spotted working a new biker-chic look, accessorized with a smile and a certain model on her arm.

Catherine Zeta-Jones 'Taking it Easy' After Tony Win After collecting a best actress trophy for her performance in the Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's 1973 A Little Night Music, Zeta-Jones – who performed at Sunday's Tonys despite suffering a throat virus – rewarded herself by "taking it easy" the next day, says a friend. That's no small feat for a woman who has been headlining eight shows a week since the show opened in December and was battling a throat virus even as she performed "Send in the Clowns" at the Tonys – after rehearsing all morning and appearing in a matinee performance. In her acceptance speech Zeta-Jones, 40, said she felt like Cinderella and thanked her parents – in New York City from Wales for the occasion – and her husband Michael Douglas, whom she called "a movie star, and I get to sleep with him every night." Despite Internet reports suggesting she acted like a diva and did no press after the show, Zeta-Jones "did a full hour of press and photos," says the pal, adding that by night's end "she virtually had no voice." This marks the Oscar winner's final week with the musical, which marked her Broadway debut. "It's bittersweet," says the pal. "It's amazing that she's going out on such a high note by winning the Tony, but she's going to miss the cast and crew of the play – they are all like family."

I am exhausted from such a long day of exploring Egypt and one of the Wonders of the World." Paris Hilton saddles up for a camel-riding adventure in front of the Giza Pyramids on Thursday.

"It is a sexy video, you can't take that away from it," Cyrus, 17, told E!'s Ryan Seacrest. But "it's not the premise … The video is not about being sexy or about who can wear less clothes. That's what every other video about. It's about explaining the song and living the lyrics." In the video, the singer is introduced as an exotic creature with wings who is caged in a museum. Eventually Cyrus breaks free with the help of her gyrating backup dancers and shows the world that she can't be – you know. "For me it's never been about fitting in. I'd rather stand out," says Cyrus of the title track to her upcoming album, due in stores June 22. "People can relate to it. So many people feel like you have to be one way to fit in." "It's the first step to growing up but I think it's done the right way," says Cyrus of her video. "I'm really proud of it."

	The Jolie-Pitts Enjoy Sweet Times in Venice The Jolie-Pitt brood are really making themselves at home in Venice, Italy, where Angelina Jolie is preparing to film her next movie, The Tourist. On Tuesday, the family went out for gelato together at La Gelateria Lo Squero – one of the actress's favorite Venetian haunts. Jolie discovered the gelateria on her own several years ago, owner Simone Sambo tells PEOPLE. "This parlor is not really a touristy place," Sambo says. "This is the third time Mrs. Jolie has come to our store. The first time she was on her own with Maddox. It was during the Venice Film festival three or four years ago. "The following year, again during the festival period, Jolie returned but this time with Mr. Pitt," Sambo says. "Finally, she has brought her children too." During Tuesday's visit, the kids topped their selections – chocolate was a popular choice – with whipped cream, while Jolie ordered her longtime favorite flavor, lemon. After buying the ice cream, Brad Pitt stopped into nearby store La Enoteca Schiavi to shop for some Italian wine. "Mr. Pitt is clearly quite a wine connoisseur," the store's owner, Alessandra Schiavi, tells PEOPLE. "He knew exactly what type of wine he wanted and when I offered him a choice of about 10 different labels he asked specifically to try two, which are without any doubt the best ones we have to offer in our store."

	Jennifer Lopez to Guest Star on How I Met Your Mother Looks like Jenny From the Block will be making a pit stop at MacLaren’s Bar. CBS announced Wednesday that Jennifer Lopez will guest star in a March episode of How I Met Your Mother. “We’re looking forward to a week of revealing outfits and sexy dance moves the likes of which this show hasn’t seen since Regis Philbin guest starred,” series executive producer and co-creator Carter Bays says. But don’t expect Lopez to show up in another nude cat suit anytime soon. According to a press release, she will play Anita Appleby, an outspoken self-help guru who makes it her mission to break caddish Barney (played by Neil Patrick Harris) of his womanizing ways. That sounds like corporate attire — think power suits and shoulder pads instead of sequined robes and Louboutins. Lopez, who is in talks to guest star on FOX’s Glee, joins the roster of high-profile celebs to appear on HIMYM. Britney Spears and Rachel Bilson have also made cameos and Carrie Underwood just taped an episode last week.
Joe Jonas & Demi Lovato Up the Romance in Camp Rock 2 Best pals Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato are headed back to the small screen for more singing and dancing in the Disney Channel sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. But this time around, expect more onscreen love interests – and romances to be taken to the next level. "There's a lot more romance with my character and even with Nick's character," Joe Jonas told PEOPLE about the highly anticipated film airing next summer. "The romance, the singing and dancing – everything is bigger and better." In the sequel, the film follows Mitchie (played by Lovato) and Shane (played by Joe Jonas) as they return to Camp Rock for another summer of music and fun. Their love blossoms as they battle against a new state-of-the-art music camp called Camp Star that has opened across the lake. "The romance between Shane and Mitchie is still there and it continues to grow," Jonas says. "They want to spend more time together but [finding time is a bit] difficult for them to do, because she is trying to help out the camp as much as she can." Revisiting her breakout role was "exciting," says Lovato, 17, and starring with the Jonas Brothers again was a job that guaranteed a good time. "They are so easy to work with and we just hangout and have fun," Lovato tells PEOPLE. "They are like my brothers and they are my best friends. They always make me laugh."
	Jennifer Lopez Gets a Do-Over on SYTYCD After a spill at the American Music Awards, the “Louboutins” singer is teaming up again with So You Think You Can Dance choreographers Tabitha and Napoleon Dumo (known as Nappytabs) to do a holiday-themed number for the season finale of the show. Although Lopez redeemed herself with a performance on Ellen, Tabitha says they’re not taking any chances this time. “We’re steering clear of some big jumps,” Tabitha says. “I feel like we don’t have to be dangerous anymore … Though I appreciated seeing guys with their shirts off personally — [there will be] no sweaty backs, no shirtless guys. We’re going to have some classy looking guys.” At the AMAs, Lopez fell but quickly recovered after climbing on the bare backs of her male dancers. Napoleon says the finale performance of the song will be different from the boxing-theme she did previously. “The idea is kind of a cross between a Marilyn Monroe, ‘Santa Baby’ and a ‘Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend,’ but using shoes. Shoes are a girl’s best friend nowadays instead of diamonds.” Adds Tabitha: “What would a girl want for Christmas? Of course it would be a shiny pair of Louboutin shoes … It’s for the holiday season [and] we’re putting a holiday twist to ‘Louboutins.’” Part of the twist, they say, will be to feature some familiar faces in the routine. “We’re going to incorporate some girls in the performance that were in [SYTYCD] seasons past. I don’t think any other artists that have performed on this show have actually incorporated contestants from the show,” Tabitha explains. “It’s not just a performance … it’s a connection to the show.” The finale will be “a good holiday treat,” according to Napoleon, “and a mixture of the kids on the show getting to interact with a pop sensation.”
Cruise and Diaz in Spain on 'bull run' film shoot. US actors Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz have arrived in Cadiz, southern Spain, to film scenes for their latest movie "Knight and Day", Spanish media reported on Sunday. The two Hollywood stars have started shooting scenes that imitate the famous bull run held each year in Pamplona, northern Spain for the James Mangold-directed action comedy. The Pamplona bull run is held in the city each July and was made famous by Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises". During the run, crowds race ahead of a herd of thundering bulls, which can weigh up to 700 kilogrammes (1,500 pounds) each, along an 825 metre (900 yard) course over cobbled streets. Seven bulls escaped during the film's rehearsals earlier this month, slightly injuring two women. "Knight and Day" is set to be released in the US in July 2010.
	Australian Officials Target Britney Spears's Lip-Synching Britney Spears just arrived in Australia on Thursday, but already she's the subject of government scrutiny – over whether concertgoers realize she'll be lip-synching portions of her concerts. Virginia Judge, the Minister for Fair Trading for New South Wales (the Australian state that includes Sydney), said she is considering options to make sure fans aren't misled when buying tickets to Britney's Circus tour concerts. Some seats are going for more than $1,300. "It is Britney's 'prerogative' to lip-sync, and it is my job to make sure consumers know what they are paying for up front," Judge said in a statement released by the government. One idea is to require disclaimers on promotional materials and tickets indicating that portions of a show will be pre-recorded. It's no secret that many artists, including Spears, lip-sync at times during their elaborate stage shows. And this Australian initiative may not have much effect on interest in Spears tickets, given that many of the shows Down Under are already sold out. "Personally I would rather see a live set from a local artist," Judge said, "but I am sure Britney's fans will be treated to a spectacular show."
Angelina Jolie to Star in Gucci Movie When Hollywood directors want a sexy and seductive actress to play a femme fatale, who do they call? Angelina Jolie of course.

Maurizio, the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci, came out on top after a power struggle within the family. Just as he was about to re-establish the brand name with a line designed by Tom Ford he was gunned down in front of his Milan apartment in 1995. Angelina will star opposite Terminator Salvation hunk Sam Worthington in The Tourist and there are rumors that a sequel to Wanted is in the works. Leonardo DiCaprio has been approached to play her husband, Maurizio.

Britney Spears: The Weird Of Oz! It’s certainly been said that Britney Spears lives in a world of her own. We just didn’t realize that world was… Oz. When the pop princess popped into the Juicy Couture shop in Manhattan store last week, she took the time to fill in a customer contact form that listed her address as “The Yellow Brick Road” The Dorothy wannabe, along with three bodyguards and a friend, grabbed up more than $1,500 of clothes in just 20 minutes — that girl moves faster than a winged monkey! A staff member at the store told OK! that Britney, who had been out and about in the city during her three-night run at Madison Square Garden, didn’t ask for any special treatment. “We didn’t close down any of the store for her,” says the Juicy employee. “But her bodyguards just blocked off wherever she went so nobody could get near.

"We don't know what's going to happen in the future, but right now we're just kicking it and hanging out as much as we can." The pair, both 16, were spotted on June 9, jet-skiing together on Tybee Island, where Cyrus is filming her new movie The Last Song. "They looked like they were having a blast," says an observer. When asked about the excursion during her 107.5 interview, Cyrus said "no comment" but did mention "I'm a jet ski demon!" Cyrus and Jonas broke up in December 2007, after which "I bawled for a month straight" Cyrus told Seventeen magazine. But the two recently reunited when they collaborated on the duet "Before the Storm" for the Jonas Brothers' new album and worked on the Disney's Friends for Change campaign. "We both just kind of saw each other again and kind of decided this whole thing was stupid and ... we all were over the separation," Cyrus said on-air. "And our families are super happy that we're hanging out again."
	Jennifer Aniston Pokes Fun at Her Life and Movies Jennifer Aniston has a plan for achieving a future without love life complications – and it’s all in her choice of movie titles. Accepting Women In Film’s Crystal Award for expanding the role of women in the entertainment industry, Aniston took the stage Friday – in a body-baring Prada dress – and pointed out to the crowd of mostly female Hollywood movers and shakers that her personal fortunes over the past several years have been reflected in the titles on her film resume. "I'm trying to be more careful than I have been in the past about the titles of movies that I choose to be in," Aniston revealed. "It's funny – I kind of noticed something a couple years ago that there seemed to be this strange parallel to the movies I was doing and my life off screen." “It started with, well, The Good Girl," she explained. "Then that evolved into Rumor Has It, followed by Derailed, and then there was The Break-Up. And then on the lighter side was Friends with Money, which I felt was a bit on the nose.”

	Seinfeld's Back in the Comedy Saddle For the first time since Seinfeld wrapped in 1998, funny man Jerry Seinfeld is making his first big TV comeback with new unscripted comedy series The Marriage Ref. Partnered with Oprah Winfrey Show executive producer Ellen Rakieten, Jerry has created a show in which "opinionated celebrities, comedians and sports stars ... will candidly comment, judge and offer different strategies for real-life couples in the midst of a classic marital dispute." The comedian is quick to add that, "This is not a therapy show, it's a comedy show." Jerry first pitched his idea to NBC's Ben Silverman, who said, "We were laughing the whole time as [Jerry and Ellen] went through the concept. As Jerry noted, some of the greatest comedies in history have been about marriage." NBC has ordered six episodes of the series, but has not yet alloted it a timeslot or premiere date. The comedian cites his own experience as inspiration for the show. "After nine years of marriage, I have discovered that the comedic potential of this subject is quite rich," Jerry said.
Julia Roberts's Kids Keep Her from Ever Being Bored As a fulltime stay-at-home mom for the past year, Julia Roberts says life outside the Hollywood spotlight has been anything but uneventful – thanks to her kids with husband Danny Moder. "I will never be bored again," the Oscar winner, 41, tells Allure for its March issue. "Danny and I talk about, 'What did we do with all the time we must have had?' " she says. "Because you don't recognize it as such, until you have all these little … time thieves running around your house." Focused on raising her three children – twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 4, and another son, Henry, 20 months – Roberts has become creative in using home remedies when it comes to removing a splinter. "We get a lot of splinters in our house," says Roberts, whose new movie is Duplicity, with Clive Owen. "A splinter is just a good light, a pair of tweezers and a lot of singing songs and passing the time: La-la-la, now listen, if you eat all of your dinner It's distraction and extraction." The domesticated star admits her life at home is a juggling act, and while "it can lose its luster a little bit," the key to her happy marriage and family is affection. "The coolest thing you can do for your children is to love each other in their presence," she says. "I'm the luckiest girl in town, I really am."
