The rumoured split of Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend gained a lot of steam over the weekend.

Theron, the leggy South African star, was snapped out at Mr Chow’s in Los Angeles with A-lister friends including host and rogue director Quentin Tarantino.

Townsend was Theron’s partner of nine years but the actress was always tight-lipped about their life together, while the Irish actor rarely appeared in public with her.

Theron looked to be sporting a new glow in photos that surfaced from the evening.

Townsend, the Daily Mail reports, was said to be devastated after Theron broke it off.

The actress was joined by Ray Liotta, Oliver Stone and Larry David for the £13,000 dinner, the newspaper said.

Sources said Theron and Townsend broke up after a trip to Mexico over Christmas. According to the Daily Mail: “[The] South African beauty is believed to have felt the romance had run its course and the pair had grown to be more like ‘brothers and sisters’.”

Keira Knightley has come out in support of mistresses, saying it’s the married man’s fault if he cheats.

The 24-year-old made her comments in the latest edition of US Elle magazine.

Knightley, who appears on the front cover of the magazine, plays one half of a married couple, both of whom are tempted to cheat in the upcoming movie Last Night.

“I haven’t ever been the other woman,” the British actress says. “But I felt sympathy for her in a funny way. “I think it’s quite a sexist view to say that because a guy all of a sudden cheats on a woman, it’s the other woman’s fault. It’s not the guy’s fault?”

When it’s suggested that women should look out for each other, Knightley says: “Oh, f*** off! C’mon. If you’re married, if you’re the guy, it’s your f***ing responsibility.

“It’s your fault if you cheat on her. It’s not some other woman’s fault!”

In the film, Sam Worthington plays Knightley’s husband who is tempted to sleep with Eva Mendes.

“When we were making it, the arguments on the set were just amazing about whether mental infidelity is better or worse than physical infidelity,” Knightley says.

“There was a huge gender divide on the question.

“Every single woman said that mental infidelity is 10 times worse than [an emotionless assignation].

“And most men I spoke with said it’s the physical act that would be the ultimate betrayal.”

The singer has apparently made a wrong move by giving up her collaboration with record label Hidden Beach which is now suing Jill Scott for undisclosed damages and attorney fees. Actually, the reason of the lawsuit they are filling is apparently the following: “Hidden Beach poured its heart and soul into making poet and soul and R & N singer and songwriter Jill Scott a superstar.” Well, it sucks for them that Jill Scott is such and ungrateful… artist, but if it’s not in the contract, then they probably don’t have a shot. Oh well, time to move on to the next big discovery.

Here’s an interesting way not to run out of contraceptive material: get your parents to send you some. This is the philosophy the guys from JLS seem to have adopted as their supply of condoms never runs low due to their parents. This is what Aston Merrygold said on the matter: “It’s all about staying safe. We all think so. My mom sends me down a stash and I dish them out to the lads so none of us have to worry.” So, he’s the one that provides for the whole bunch. The others must really be in debt to him… not to mention the world for not having to cope with a mini-version of JLS.

Twilight actor Kellan Lutz has become the latest male celebrity to strip off for a new ad campaign for Calvin Klein.

The American hunk stripped down to his briefs to promote the luxury brand’s new X collection for men.

Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen in the hit vampire saga, revealed he had an unusual way of getting in shape for the stunning photos.

The 24-year-old star said: “I swear, candy helps! Gummy bears!

“It helps fight the hunger of higher calorie foods, but it is bad for the teeth.”

The new adverts, which will go on display in March, will also feature other male celebrities and sports stars, including Japanese footballer Hidetoshi Nakata and True Blood star Mehcad Brooks.

Hollywood star George Clooney has been spotted buying lottery tickets – in an attempt to win money for Haiti.

According to reports, the actor and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis were spotted in an official Italian SuperEnalotto game shop this week.

They were reportedly seen buying dozens and dozens of tickets in the £117 million jackpot.

UK Star magazine claimed Clooney, who has a home in Lake Como, told pals: “The jackpot is so high, so why not try?”

The heartthrob, who recently fronted a telethon in the US that raised more than $50 million, apparently wants to spend the millions helping the earthquake victims in Haiti.

At the telethon event, he said: “This is a tragedy that reaches across all borders, all boundaries. It demands our attention, our help and our compassion. The Haitian people need help. They need to know that they are not alone. They need to see that we still care.”

Twilight star Ashley Greene wears nothing but body paint in a new sexy ad campaign.

Ronnie Wood’s ex-wife Jo has revealed that she has had two romantic flings since the ageing rocker left her after 23 years of marriage.

Jo, 54, was ditched by the 62-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist 18 months ago for Russian waitress Katia Ivanova, who was 19 at the time.

Talking about how she got over the marriage breakdown, Jo said: “A girlfriend said to me that one of the ways to get over someone is to do it with someone else. So I did – twice.”

Asked if it had worked, she said: “You bet it did. But my flings didn’t last very long. I realised it was too soon for me to settle into a relationship.

“I needed to have time alone.”

Sandra Bullock’s husband Jesse James is still locked in a custody battle with his ex-wife and porn star Janine Lindemulder.

Acccording to reports, a judge has denied Lindemulder visitation rights to see the couple’s six-year-old daughter Sunny, who has lived with James and Hollywood actress Bullock since January 2009.

But Lindemulder – currently in a halfway house following a parole violation – did win the right to make daily phone calls to Sunny.

Bullock, 45, has been helping James, 40, raise Sunny for the past year while the adult film actress was in prison for tax evasion.

Lindemulder served six months in jail and was released in July 2009.

On Monday, James complained in court about the latest ruling and told the judge that his ex-wife: “Texts up to 20 times a day, demanding to talk to Sunny but sometimes she’ll go a week at a time where she doesn’t make a call.”

He also claimed that Lindemulder “has no filter” when it comes to discussing her recent time in prison. James told the court: “There’s a lot of conversation about prison or jail and things that I don’t think a six-year-old can comprehend or process.”

He also told the judge that his ex was a no-show on Christmas.

The next hearing is scheduled for June 14.

Hollywood hunk Matthew McConaughey has been given a sex-ban by gorgeous girlfriend Camila Alves.

Camila has just given birth to the couple’s second child, three-week-old baby girl, Vida.

And now she has ruled that McConaughey must wait 40 days before making any moves on her.

Camila explained to Stylelist.com: “Where I come from – Brazil – we believe in something we call a 40-day break after the baby.

“You have to let your body do its own thing. You give it time to recover and let everything settle down. You kind of respect all the hard work your body has just done and give it a break. For these 40 days, you really take it easy.

“By that I mean no sex, light, healthy food, no trips to the gym. Then, after 40 days, you are good to go.”

The model admits she is beginning to miss certain things, but the bad news for McConaughey is that it’s not the sex she’s missing the most.

Camila, who also has an 18-month-old son Levi with the actor, added: “I confess, I am getting a little anxious to work out. I miss it. Not just to get my body back in shape, but for me, for my head!”

Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have hit back at rumours they have split – by attending an awards ceremony together.

The pair proved they are still very much a couple by showing up for the Director’s Guild of America Awards in Los Angeles.

They declined to be photographed together on the red carpet when they arrived but according to several reports they were seen being “extremely affectionate” with each other during the awards show.

They sat next to each other at the table and were spotted laughing and whispering to each other.

An onlooker at the Awards said the couple were incredibly affectionate throughout the four-hour event.

The guest told People magazine: “They looked very giggly. They look like they are having a fun time. It’s definitely a date.

“They were extremely affectionate.”

Pitt had been invited to the ceremony to present his Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino with a plaque for being nominated for the Outstanding Directional Achievement in Feature Film, which was actually won by James Cameron’s ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow for the movie The Hurt Locker.

This was Brad and Angelina’s first public outing since it was reported they had split and had consulted lawyers over custody of their six children and dividing their £205million ($327million) fortune.

The report was immediately slammed as false by sources close to the couple but the DGA Awards was the first time they had stepped out to end the speculation themselves.

Entourage star Emmanuelle Chriqui has said she was shocked to find herself at the top of a Most Desirable Woman poll.

The 32-year-old beauty beat off competition from Megan Fox, Penelope Cruz and Monica Bellucci to claim first place as the Most Desirable Woman for 2010 in a poll by AskMen.com.

She said: “Of course it’s flattering, but it’s shocking! I mean, come on, have you seen the people on this list?”

Asked if she thinks she’s a sex symbol, she said: “No! Hell no! Absolutely not! It’s an incredible compliment. Do I believe it? Do I think so? Absolutely not. And I’m not being modest.”

Reality star Kendra Wilkinson is planning to ‘take on Miami’ during the Superbowl.

Kendra will be heading to Miami to watch her American football player husband Hank Bassett’s team, the Indianapolis Colts take on the New Orleans Saints and seems excited by the prospect.

The 24-year-old, who is best known for her role in reality show The Girls Next Door, will reportedly attend a party at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino’s Passion night club in Seminole before the game.

Wilkinson took to Twitter to express her excitement about the Superbowl and seeing her 27-year-old husband in action.

She wrote: “yes family will be watching the baby that night.”

Kendra also wrote to a friend on the social networking site about her plans for Miami.

She wrote: “u ready to take on miami? the superbowl will be lil Hanks first football game yayyyyyy.”

has revealed that he is still not used to seeing himself half-naked on giant billboards.

The British soccer ace, who famously stripped for an Emporio Armani underwear campaign, said he still does a double-take whenever he spots one.

And he joked that his mum also struggles to see him in all his glory.

He said: “I still feel quite shy when I see a poster or campaign like that.

“It was a daunting experience stripping off in front of a room of people, but after a while you get used to it – although my mum still hasn’t.”

Becks, 34, also revealed that while football is his top priority he has learned to enjoy having his picture taken.

“I’ve done quite a few shoots and you can have fun doing them,” he said. “I’m a footballer and that’s where I’m most comfortable, but I’ve enjoyed working with some great photographers over the years.”

Tiger Woods liked to romp all night long – and had sexual fantasies that were “not normal”, one of his alleged ex-lovers has claimed.

Escort Loredana Jolie – who is trying to hawk a tell-all book about her relationship with the shamed golfer – said she doubts his stint in rehab for sex addiction will help him.

She said: “He would engage in sex from 9pm until the sun came up the next morning. But he wasn’t a healthy guy. He couldn’t sleep and would stay up all night. I am not really sure rehab for sex addiction will help him.”

Sicilian-born Jolie, also known as Loredana Ferriolo, will name other famous clients she entertained while working for famed madam Michelle Braun.

Teisha Dynell, a representative for Jolie, said: “There are many other celebrity clients, actors and businessmen from New York, California and around the world.”

Woods, 34, is alleged to have hired her over the course of two years, ending in 2008.

“Tiger’s sexual fantasies were not normal,” she added. “He likes role-playing, he likes to be the guy in control and wearing a suit while there are girls performing girl-on-girl and guys entertaining guys. By that, I mean they would dance for each other like girls would do for a man.

“He’d have different girls all the time, entertaining, role play, fetishes, stuff like that. But he would only watch. He would also ask me to text him pictures of myself when we weren’t together.”

TV presenter Tyra Banks is launching a new competition and wants plus-sized teenagers to take part.

Banks, 36, said on a recent episode of The Tyra Show that she wants girls aged between 13 and 19 to take part.

The star also said to UsMagazine.com that she wants the teenagers to have a dress size of 12 to 20 and also be between 5′9 and 6′1 in height.

She said: “I want young girls to realize that what’s considered plus-sized is the average American woman.

“That woman is healthy, fit and beautiful. Adolescence is such an impressionable time in a young woman’s life, and I hope this contest helps teen girls discover their own beauty from the inside out.”

British film-maker Guy Ritchie narrowly avoided bumping into his ex-wife Madonna, according to reports.

The 41-year-old RocknRolla director, who split with the American superstar in 2008, was drinking with friends at his London pub, The Punchbowl, while Madge, 51, was dining at nearby Scott’s restaurant with designer pal Tom Ford.

But despite their proximity, the pair managed to avoid crossing paths.

Talk about just getting away from it all. It seems Avril Lavigne recently went on a quest to get over her impending divorce and what better place to go to than Las Vegas. But, this particular quest that Avril Lavigne went on had a specific set of rules, as a source kindly related: “All she wanted was a girls’ weekend. She had a strict no-boys-allowed rule. She needed to let loose. She’d had it up to there dealing with men.” Well which one was it that Avril Lavigne was tired of: boys or men? You can have one or the other but not both… maybe that’s the real problem behind Avril Lavigne’s frustration.

Movie superstar Brad Pitt was noticeably absent as his film Inglourious Basterds won at the SAG Awards amid reports he is splitting up with Angelina Jolie.

The Hollywood hunk missed out on the celebrations as his co-stars in the hit war film picked up the award for Outstanding Cast of a Motion Picture on Saturday night.

No explanation was given for Pitt’s absence in the live televised show.

The UK tabloid reports the Brangelina couple will announce their separation soon to end months of speculation their five-year relationship is on the rocks.

They are said to have started planning a split in December, when they reportedly visited a top LA divorce firm.
