Celebrity and Entertainment

As if the confirmation of Ashley and Cheryl Cole‘s painful break-up weren’t enough to keep us in the Land of the Gutted for the whole of 2010, it’s been adultery this and split that right across the globe.

First comes the news that after Take That‘s Mark Owen sensationally curtailed a tabloid exposé of monstrous proportions by admitting to bedding 10 (ten!) random women – while going out with his kind, understanding etc girlfriend-now-wife-but-only-by-the-skin-of-his-teeth Emma – she turfed him out of the family home. Until further notice, he’s kipping on an inflatable bed at a mate’s place, and quite right too, the philandering goon.

And then we find out that, of all the seemingly rock-solid unions we could pick from the firmament of celebrity, Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes have called time on their marriage after a mere seven years together. Itchy much, folks? It’s enough to make Marilyn Monroe tut, and she’s been worm food for decades. This isn’t the first time Kate has filed for divorce, remember her first husband Jim Threapleton who she met on the set of Hideous Kinky. I guess it shows that you can’t always work and live together.

Talking of splits… (wait for it) there was no sign of any split ends (there it is!) when Jennifer Aniston showed up on David Letterman‘s chat show to talk about her new movie The Bounty Hunter and, er, her barnet. In fact, her newly tousled locks were the responsibility of her snipper chum Chris McMillan, who Jen thoughtfully brought onto the show with her. Why? Oh, who knows what’s going on in her pretty wee head..?
