We Saw Avril Lavigne’s and Deryck Whibley’s Break Up Coming

Robert Ostfield — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:09:59 +0000

We are not saying that we are mind readers or we can see into the future, however we are not surprised by Avril Lavigne’s break up from her rocker husband Deryck Whibley. As Jordan explained in our XM radio show last week, we had an opportunity to interview Avril a few weeks ago when she was promoting the launch of her new clothing line, Abbey Dawn. We also saw Deryck there and had a quick interview with him. Although Deryck tried to be as courteous as possible, it was more than clear that he had no interest in being there, and there was something else happening behind the scenes. He just stood in the corner with a pissed off look. You can check out the interview below. Nevertheless we wish both Avril and Deryck the best of luck.

Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi ‘Weren’t Dating’

After Star magazine reported Canadian funnyman Michael Cera had dumped his “girlfriend,” comedian Charlyne Yi after dating for three years, Yi set the record straight to Moviefone.

“We weren’t dating at the time … or ever,” Yi said of the time her and Cera spent together shooting the mockumentary “Paper Heart.” “I also heard that we broke up. Someone sent me an article that said I was really sad. It says that I’m sad that we’re touring together. But he’s actually in Toronto right now filming a movie called ‘Scott Pilgrim.’ So that’s interesting.”

Yi, best known for her role as a stoner in the Judd Apatow movie “Knocked Up,” makes her feature film writing debut with “Paper Heart.” The movie follows Yi (who claims not to believe in love) on her quest to understand the very thing she doesn’t understand.

Stay tuned for andPOP’s review of “Paper Heart” this Friday!

Weeks ago, former Panic! At The Disco guitarist Ryan Ross and Jon Walker left the band to go off and do their own thing, leaving remaining members Spencer Smith and Brendon Urie to search for a guitar and a bass player to perform an upcoming tour.

Since the band is set to carry out Bink-182 tour dates, they needed a new guitarist and drummer. Ian Crawford will be replacing Ross on guitar, while singer/songwriter Dallon Weekes will be playing bass for Panic!

“Yeah, we’ve taken on a couple of new guys for the tour. They’re friends, so the decision was easy. Plus, we’re really excited to play with them as musicians,” Smith told MTV News. “Ian is probably the most talented guitar player that me and Brendon have ever played with, and Dallon is a really nice guy and a really great bassist. It’s new. Like I said, we’re really excited.”

Smith insists that despite the split, they remain friends. “Brendon and I are still friends with Ryan and Jon, we really like their new band [the Young Veins], they really like our band, and we hope fans like both of them,” he told MTV News. “There’s thousands of songs on my iPod, there’s room for both our bands on it.”

He also said Panic! is “working on an album now”.

Amy Winehouse Granted Divorce From Husband

After a rocky relationship complete with arrests, accusations of drug abuse and public disputes, singer Amy Winehouse has officially split from Blake Fielder-Civil.

According to The Associated Press, neither Winehouse nor Fielder-Civil were present at the family Court hearing where a judge granted the divorce petition. After six weeks and a day the divorce of Winehouse, 25, and Fielder-Civil, 27, becomes final.

The British couple met at a bar in London, England, back in 2005. They wed at a simple ceremony in Miami in 2007, but spent most of their seemingly-troubled married life apart after Fielder-Civil was arrested on an assault charge that sent him to jail.

The Singer’s father, Mitch Winehouse, has constantly accused Fielder-Civil — a music video production assistant — of introducing his daughter to heavy drugs.

The couple’s troubled relationship spawned numerous tabloid headlines around the world.

Former Secretary to Blame for Shania’s Split with Hubby?

Could Shania Twain’s former long-time secretary and house manager be the reason the singer and her husband Robert “Mutt” Lange split?

Several sources claim Marie-Anne Thiébaud, 37, was behind the couple’s recent marital break-up.

“Mutt and Marie-Anne left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship,” says one source. However, the “other woman” denies she is the cause of the couple’s marriage problems.

According to E! News, Thiébaud said, “If you’re looking for a person that broke up a marriage, then you have the wrong person. I’m not that person.” Lange has also denied to “People” magazine that Thiébaud was the reason he and Twain have split, stating that an affair was “absolutely not the reason [for the breakup]… It’s literally just a growing apart, that’s all.”

Last week, Twain announced her split from her music producer husband after 14 years of marriage. The couple have a six-year-old son together named Eja.

Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson Split…Again

On-again, off-again couple Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson have split again—less than two months after rekindling their romance in Miami.

A friend of Wilson’s says the break-up was not amicable: “It was a pretty bad break-up,” says the friend. “Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn’t want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him.”

Just last week, rumours circulated that the couple was engaged but Hudson’s rep was quick to deny the claims. Although the couple has had a rocky relationship, Hudson has always admitted to caring for Owen and has previously said: “Owen is such a lovely person, and I love him dearly. I wish him beautiful things – health and everything that he desires in life.” The pair’s last split in June was said to have caused Owen’s suicide attempt in August.

The pair began dating after meeting on the set of the romantic comedy “You, Me and Dupree.”

US Weekly reports that Kanye West and his fiancée, Alexis Phifer, have ended their relationship.

A source told the magazine, “Kanye is possessed by the tour and everything going on and just couldn’t keep it going. They are still friends and have broken up and gotten back together before, so it could work out.”

It was rumoured that West proposed to Phifer under pressure from his late mother, Donda. In an interview with GQ last year, West said, “I’m just going to go and get married. I’m not going to make a big deal out of it.”

The couple have been dating since 2002.
