Kat Von D took to her Twitter account on Monday to announce that she and beau Jesse James have called it quits. Are we surprised? No. Are we very curious as to why the breakup happened? Most definitely.

Without revealing any information on the cause of breakup, Von D Tweeted, “”I am no longer w Jesse, and out of respect for him, his family and myself, that’s all the info I’d like to share. Thanks for respecting that.” As much as we are dying to know what happened, we must say that we respect her for this statement. All we can hope is that Von D was the initiator and that James is finally getting a taste of his own medicine. After all, no one cheats on Sandra Bullock and gets away with it!

Hugh Hefner and fiancee Crystal Harris have called off their wedding, reports CTV.

The couple have canceled their wedding just five days before they were set to walk down the aisle on Saturday, at the Playboy Mansion. Where else?

TMZ reports the two got into an argument over the phone last weekend, which resulted in Harris moving herself out of the mansion. Hef is 85 years old, while Crystal is 25.

Yep, that’s a nice visual. He was 60 when she was born.

The wedding would have been attended by over 300 guests and Harris would have worn a pink Romona Keveza gown.

“No expense is being spared for the wedding. It isn’t even a compromise, because Hef wants Crystal to have the wedding of her dream,” Hugh’s spokesperson Kellie Olisky has previously said.

Hugh has been married twice before, once to Mildred William, whom he had two children with, and then to playmate Kimberley Conrad, whose divorce was finalized in March 2010.

Are we really suprised the marriage didn’t last? Hef isn’t the married type – once a player, always a player. Honestly, I think it’s a blessing in disguise for Harris. You can do better.

Singer/songwriter Jason Mraz has called off his engagement to fiancee Tristan Prettyman, reports Canoe Jam.

Mraz proposed to Prettyman just last December, but the couple has now split due to Mraz’s heavy workload.

The couple was waiting to walk down the aisle until gay marriage is legalized in the U.S., but now Mraz confirms that the engagement is off.

Telling The Daily Beast, Mraz says, “My greatest mistake right now is, I’ve been clinging to my art. In that, I have victory for my art and a great loss for my heart. At the moment, my beautiful fiancee is no longer my beautiful fiancee.”

“Two halves don’t make a whole. Two wholes make a whole. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn’t doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.”

He insists the two are still friends, though, and hang out together all the time.

“We are still super friends, we go to yoga together, we surf together. We acknowledge the journey that each of us is on. We certainly want each of us to feel whole and complete. And it’s when you’re whole and complete that that attraction exists and it really thrives.”

Mraz makes plenty of women swoon over his lyrics and music, so I’m sure he will find someone in no time. Maybe he should take a break and reconnect with his old flame.

Shania Twain will be releasing a new single after a long hiatus, reports CTV.

The Canadian country singer will release her new single, titled ‘Today is Your Day,’ on June 12.

The song will first make an appearance on her new reality TV show ‘Why Not? With Shania Twain,’ which is featured on Oprah Winfrey’s network ‘OWN,’ and then will then be available on iTunes at 11 p.m. ET.

Twain has been missing from the music scene for quite a while now, after taking a long hiatus following the nasty split between her and former husband Robert Lange. This will be the first song Twain has written solo in six years.

Many, including myself, are excited for her return to music. I’m glad she took some personal time and found happiness again, so I couldn’t pick a better time for her to bounce back and return with full force!

Justin TImberlake has broken his silence over Britney Spears, reports MTV News.

The former high-profile couple began dating in the late 90s and ended their relationship in 2001. Both Spears and Timberlake have kept relatively mum about their relationship over the years, but now, Timberlake is wishing her nothing but greatness for the future:

“I wish her the best — that goes without saying. We haven’t spoken in 9 or 10 years,” he told ‘Vanity Fair’ magagzine.

“We were two birds of the same feather — small-town kids, doing the same thing. But then you become adults, and the way you were as kids doesn’t make any sense. I won’t speak on her, but at least for me, I was a totally different person. I just don’t think we were normal; there was nothing normal about our existence. We spent way too much time being the biggest thing for teenyboppers.”

He also seems to think that they had too much power and freedom at such a young age:

“It was exciting that we were having so much success and we could do whatever we wanted. And I mean that about everybody: Backstreet Boys, ’NSync, Britney, Christina. We could literally go, ‘Oh, man, let’s go to Bali,’ and we’d be on a plane to Bali. We were little kids with big toys. You do the math — that’s not going to last.”

They were a great couple, but it all seemed quite forced and fake. Timberlake is obviously far better than any other man Britney has dated (cough, Kfed) but I don’t think it was true love. Her new boyfriend, Jason Trawick, seems good for her. Let’s hope he’s the one.

Last week, MTV Canada reported that ’30 Seconds To Mars’ were set to break up after the conclusion of their current 2011 tour. The band is still not denying this news.

The rock band was taping their ‘MTV Unplugged’ episode, which is set to air in July, when MTV asked them point-blank about the breakup rumors.

“We can neither confirm nor deny these allegations,” guitarist Tomo Milicevic said, laughing. OK – is that a good sign, or a bad sign?

The band has spent the past year promoting their ‘This is War’ album, which has put aside their long-term plans of shooting a video for the album’s next single, ‘Night of the Hunter.’

“I would love to make another video. I think if I made another video, it would kill me, because I’ve been making videos for the past 18 to 20 months,” frontman Jared Leto said with a sigh. “When did we start ‘Kings and Queens’? October? I may have to go check myself in for some time away if I do another video.”

It’s a little sketchy that the band is not denying that they are breaking up. Maybe Leto will return to acting and focus his attention on that? Or maybe they are just taking a break, then reuniting soon. I expect a statement sometime soon in the future.

Now we know why Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver split.

Schwarzenegger has recently admitted to fathering a child more than a decade ago with a longtime member of his household staff. Talk about a scandal.

Not only did the woman work in his family home for over twenty years, but she also remained working for the couple 10 years after giving birth to the child.

Schwarzenegger has released a statement:

“After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago. I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.

“I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not.”

As for the woman who worked for them, she said:

“I wanted to achieve my 20 years, then I asked to retire,” she said, adding she received a severance payment and “left on good terms with them.”

This is a classic scandalous hollywood story. At least Schwarzenegger had the decency to assume financial responsibility for the child, instead of simply abandoning it. But the fact that this was all happening under Shriver’s nose for almost ten years is a little painful to hear.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli have reportedly split up, reports CTV.

The couple, who have been dating for over five years, ended their relationship last week after they both realized neither of them are ready to settle down.

A source said: ”It was amicable, they’re still friends and they are still talking. They just grew apart and went their separate ways.”

“Neither are ready to settle down, and both have busy careers that have been taking them in different directions.”

This is not the first time the couple have split. They split for six months in 2009 after dating for four years, before reuniting last year.

Leonardo, 36, has previously admitted he is unsure if he will ever marry because seeing other people’s failed marriages has put him off tying the knot.

“I don’t know whether I’ll ever get married. I’ve seen too many supposedly happy marriages go down. I’ve been as shocked as anyone,” said DiCaprio.

“No one can look at the marriages of other people and make a judgement. I don’t know the private lives of the actors I work with. I just know if they are good actors or good directors.”

If he can’t see himself marrying a supermodel like Refaeli, then I don’t know if he ever will get married. They seem to be an off-and-on couple, so my bet is they will be back together within months.

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller have officially divorced, reports Perez Hilton.

After months and months of craziness and battles on both sides of this marriage, the couple have at last reached an agreement.

Here’s what’s been agreed upon:

Brooke will receive $55,000 each month in child support from her former husband. She’ll also receive a one-time payout of $757,698 and $1 million for her share in the home, which Sheen will end up keeping.

Plus, in the legal documents it indicated that child support for their twins, Bob and Max, will not be less than what he paid to his former wife Denise Richards for his daughters, Sam and Lola.

This is hard blow to Sheen, who recently was denied full custody to the children.

I think this payout is fair, though. Sheen can afford it, and Mueller deserves it after putting up with his crazy antics (not to say she’s perfect.) Do you think Sheen will ever find love again? I don’t know if his goddesses count as true love, but maybe he will take to the alter with one of them. Only time will tell.

Former ‘Jersey Shore’ reality star Angelina Pivarnick’s and her former fiancee David Kovacs have split, reports E Online. Kovacs confirmed to E himself that the couple have called it quits.

Kovacs has accused Pivarnick, who is now pregnant, of cheating on him multiple times in the past, even doubting that the child is really his. But if he really is the baby daddy, he claims he is ready to step up.

“If there’s a child involved that’s mine, I would of course take care of it. The last thing I’d want in my life is to raise a child in a broken home,” he says.

The investment banker says he has also received pressure from his company to call it quits with the MTV star. ”My relationship [with her] has been career suicide,” Kovacs says. “It’s hurt me tremendously. I’ve gotten tremendous pressure from my own job kind of pushing me out of my firm.”

Despite her reputation, Kovacs said he’d never seen the show when he first met her. “I’d never seen a show of Jersey Shore until after I met her,” he explains. “I would never judge somebody based on their past or based on what happened, and I kind of went there completely unbiased.”

When the couple officially split, Kovacs said he won’t ask her to return the engagement ring.

“She can keep the ring,” he says, adding: “That was something that I gave her and when I did, it was happiest day of my life so that’s for her. This is not a monetary thing for me.”

And there you have it, another failed reality romance. Shocking.

According to a report in Us Magazine, Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger have split. Yet another couple to bite the dust!

After almost two years together, multiple sources confirmed to Us that the couple have split. Reps for both Cooper and Zellweger had no comment, though.

Cooper, who stars in “Limitless” this month, first met Oscar-winner Zellweger six years ago on the set of their thriller “Case 39.” Their romance didn’t bloom until summer 2009.

Both stars have had short-lived marriages in the past: Cooper was married to actress Jennifer Esposito, while Zellweger to singer Kenny Chesney. Interesting enough, the couple have always, always remained private about their relationship in the press. When asked about Zellweger in Details magazine in the June/July 2010 issue, Cooper retorted, “I just can’t.” Well then.

I’m never really shocked by celebrity splits, unless it’s like, Brangelina or something. I always found this couple rather odd – Cooper is 36, Zellweger is 41. Thats like a 40 year age difference in Hollywood. Just kidding. But in all honestly, they were a mismatched couple. I see Cooper with someone like Jessica Biel or Jessica Alba, while Zellweger is more suitable with a George Clooney, Richard Gere, distinguished type. Whatever, they are both rich and famous, so I’m sure they will find one suitable. Time to play the field!

According to People, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are no more. The couple decided to end their relationship recently and “there are no hard feelings,” a source told PEOPLE exclusively. “It was completely mutual and they both decided it was time to move on.”

The source added that Biel is keeping her house in L.A. and she and Timberlake will remain friends. The two had been dating since 2007.

Reps for both of the stars released a statement on Thursday, confirming the split: “Addressing the media speculation regarding Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s relationship, we are confirming that they mutually have decided to part ways. The two remain friends and continue to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other.”

This news isn’t really shocking, the two haven’t been seen together for quite a while now. I’m sure there are thousands of girls, and boys, out there who are thrilled Timberlake is a single man again. Same goes for Biel. They are the hottest people in Hollywood right now, so I’m sure they will have no problem rebounding and finding new love. Plus, as far as Hollywood relationships go, they lasted quite a while. Time to move on, you two!

Perez Hilton is reporting that teen heartthrob Zac Efron has finally split from costar and girlfriend of four years Vanessa Hudgens.

Zefron and Hudgens met on the set of Disney’s smash made-for-TV movie, High School Musical, and have been dating ever since.

It’s always sad to see a stable (and relatively normal) couple head to splitsville, but let’s not mourn their relationship for too long. Guys, you’re still young! Go forth and be single!

Wait, you mean…reality TV shows don’t really lead to love?

Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, who found each other on the completely legitimate love show The Bachelor just a few months ago, have ended their engagement, reports E! News. That brings the total number of failed Bachelor pairs to 13.

“Jake and Vienna have split and appreciate the respect for their privacy at this time,” Pavelka’s rep said in a statement.

It’s okay, one of them is bound to end up on another season of The Bachelor and fine “true love” for real this time.

So,  another one bites the dust. It turns out that Paris Hilton can’t keep it together as her and now ex-boyfriend Doug Reinhardt, 24, broke up, according to People.com.

There have numerous conflicting reports about the couple’s status, but now the 29-year-old heiress’s rep confirmed they broke up “weeks ago.”

The two managed to stay together for the past 14 months but this wasn’t the first time the couple has had problems – they broke up last June, but later reconciled.

Reinhardt is known for his appearance on MTV’s The Hills, as well as for playing in the minor leagues for baseball.

And in true Hollywood fashion, Hilton has already tweeted about rumors that she was not getting cozy next to Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend, NFL star, Reggie Bush. Hilton tweeted:

“Aside from being @ the same club, Reggie and I didn’t even say hi to each other. I was there with my sister and friends. “

This is an article we didn’t think we would ever have to write. Jim Carrey is splitting with Jenny McCarthy. Yes. You read that correctly – we will give you a second to digest this.

The couple jointly made the announcement via Twitter. “I’m so grateful for the years Jim and I had together. I will stay committed to Jane and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart,” McCarthy wrote.

Carrey also had kind words to share about McCarthy. “Jenny and I have just ended our 5yr relationship. I’m grateful 4 the many blessings we’ve shared and I wish her the very best!”

The couple had dated since December 2005 but Carrey never came up with a ring. With a girl like McCarthy we think he is crazy for not doing so. Carrey is an awesome guy but that’s Jenny McCarthy. You don’t let someone like that slip away!
