Kate Winslet, 34, has just split with director Same Mendes after becoming frustrated with his close friendship with actress Rebecca Hall.

He had spent the last year working on a theatre production of The Cherry Orchard and A Winter’s Tale for the Bridge Project with Hall.

A source shared that, “When Kate found out that Sam had grown close to Rebecca she was upset. Rebecca is totally Sam’s type - a thespian mix of brains and beauty.”

A separate source said, “Sam and Rebecca are good friends, of course they are, they have spent the better part of a year working together on the Bridge Project. But to insinuate that there is anything further in the friendship is taking it too far.”

With that, other reports stated that the split was caused by Kate’s disappointment when Mendes said he could never be with just one woman for the rest of his life.

“[He] had been really withdrawn and had shut himself away from her. They then had this big talk and he told her ‘people can’t be inspired by just one relationship. For me, it’s never going to be about one relationship… life is a series of relationships,” says a friend of Winslet in an interview with the Daily Mail. “[Kate responded with,] “For me it is, that’s what I want’, but Sam replied ‘Well, that’s not what I want’ and they both knew the marriage could not go on, it was hopeless.”

Meanwhile, Kate and her two children are vacationing in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with gal pal Emma Thompson.

A friend of Kate’s said that she was in “meltdown mode” and is in need of a solid support system. “Her real friends – Emma Thompson, her sister Anna and her parents - are all over here.”

On the other hand she doesn’t want to interrupt her kid’s life in New York and should be able to maintain a mellow life.

Perhaps after her much needed holiday, she will have a clearer view on her plans. We’re sorry Kate!

Also, Kate is expected to continue filming her HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce amid reports that she’s leaving the States.

Star of 27 Dresses and Grey’s Anatomy, Katherine Heigl was awarded for her efforts throughout the year at the ShoWest awards, Thursday.

While delivering her victory speech for Female Star of the Year, her dress unexpectedly failed her. The left strap of her silky, lipstick red dress snapped nearly exposing her chest.

Luckily she caught it but had trouble continuing on with here speech. Embarrassed from the interruption, yet holding true to her witty personality she didn’t let it consume her and with the help of host Billy Bush holding the strap in place, she finished her thank you.

After the award show, which took place in Las Vegas, Billy Tweeted, “Oh my. Hosting showest awards in LV. Heigl comes up to get award, dress strap breaks… I hold her top on while she accepts! I fought some adolescent instincts.”

She received the award for her work in the films, 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth. The co-managing director of the event expressed that, “[Heigl’s] ever present charm and innate talents have made [her] transition from TV screen to silver screen seemingly effortless.”

He went on to say, “Her comedic timing and flair for acting are showcased in each of her roles and have captivated audiences around the globe. We are pleased to honor Katherine Heigl as the ShoWest 2010 Female Star of the Year.”

 High School Musical’s Vanessa Hudgens and star of Dear John Amanda Seyfried also received awards Thursday.

Hopes that the rumors of charming Sandra Bullock’s husband cheating were just rumors, have been forever shot since Jesse apologized.

Motorcycle hunk, Jesse James was caught in a lie this week as tattoo model, Michelle Bombshell McGee came forth and confessed to a steamy 11 month love affair in an interview with In Touch Magazine. In a public statement released earlier, James apologized to his wife and three kids, breaking his silence on the scandal four days after Bullock left their California home.

Pitty-me lines somewhat resembling that of Tiger’s half hearted statement consumed James’ apology.

“There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way.”

He continued by saying, “This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”

He also stated that most of the allegations against him are untrue.

With every day new information is revealed resembling the recent Tiger Woods scandal. The magazine printed evidence of texts from James to McGee where he called her ‘babe’ complimented her eyes and telling her, ‘Was just thinkin’ bout u this morning.’ McGee also claims they connected over e-mail.

McGee stated, “I’m a little more edgy than Sandra, obviously. I like motorcycles and I think we maybe had a lot more in common than she did with him. I think he was lonely.”

She even revealed that the reason James’ didn’t attend the May 2009 MTV Awards with his wife was because they (McGee and James) were in bed together and watched Bullock’s appearance on TV!

Former body guard and motorcycle junkie, Jesse James’ attraction to tatted chicks comes as no surprise. Consider his ex-wife, porn star gone director, Janine Lindermulder who also donned numerous tattoos. Its surprising that Sandra actually ended up in the mix, sans tatts and all.

Wed almost five years ago, Sandra had a handful of unsuccessful relationships prior to marrying James. They met when Bullock brought her godson to the set of his former TV series Monster Garage.She became his third wife.

Yet, allegations that the marriage between Sandra and Jesse was a sham have been made. McGee told her former boss that, “Jesse’s marriage to Sandra Bullock was for publicity, and that’s why he did Donald Trump’s show, Celebrity Apprentice. He never called on Sandra for money or influence because their marriage was a sham.”

In her Oscar acceptance speech Bullock thanked James for always having her back…so much for that.

Shortly after her well-deserved win at the Oscars, Sandra Bullock was hit with news that her husband, Jesse James has been cheated on her.

Who is the alleged mistress? Tattoo model, Michelle (Bombshell) McGee.

She recently confessed to the affair in an interview with In Touch Weekly, but says she was unaware that the marriage wasn’t over, “I would never have hooked up with him if I thought he was a married man. He gave me the impression they were separated.”

The affair surfaced after Sandra pulled out of her plans to walk the red carpet at the London premiere of “The Blind Side.” Warner Brothers covered the abrupt cancellation by announcing, “Due to unforeseen personal reasons, a trip abroad to support ‘The Blind Side’ has been deemed impossible at this time.”

Looking back on the day of the Awards it seems this affair wasn’t news to Sandy as she spoke about her mother, not hubby Jesse in her acceptance speech.

The romance between Bombshell McGee and James lasted 11 months and according to McGee, she and James slept together at least once a week. It began when Sandra was in Atlanta filming her Award Winning Role in “The Blind Side”.

The tattoo model met motorcycle guru Jesse James after ending up at his West Coast Choppers shop in Long Beach, while looking for a modeling job.

She was called in for a photo shoot and ended up on his couch. Apparently Jesse saying, “‘She doesn’t live here. She has a house in Austin. She is filming, and I can’t talk about it,” is his way of waving a safe flag in regards to his and Sandra’s predicament.

News broke today that Sandra moved out of their California home on Monday showing she new the truth before the tabloids.

You deserve better Sandy!

We all knew it was going to happen, it was just a matter of when the worlds highest-paid athlete would make his grand return. Reports show that the day has come.

Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that he will return to his beloved sport, golf, just in time for the Masters in April 8-11.

In a statement Woods expressed, “The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I’m ready to start my season at Augusta.”

His delaying the return until the Masters is for no reason other than his need for controlling the situation. Woods wants to avoid all possibilities of contact with any vicious, scandal-oriented media on his first big return.

The Master seems to be a perfect place to broadcast a return to the public for someone in Woods’ situation as cell-phones, chanting, heckling and any other obscene gestures are not permitted at the Masters.

Masters Chairman, Billy Payne has ultimate control over access to the event. This includes media buildings and playing grounds so appearances from gossip reporters such as TMZ shouldn’t be expected.

Hes got his big return a straightened out but still in the works: His marriage.

Despite agreements to move back in with Tiger, Elin was spotted meeting with her lawyer at the rented home in which she still lives.

The relationship is still facing challenges. Although Elin has hired a divorce lawyer, she has not yet filed papers. The pair have also been reportedly spending more time together and Elin has participated in Tiger’s therapy sessions at Gentle Path in Mississippi.

Claims that Tiger will do anything it takes to make the marriage work are still floating around and progress has supposedly been made. Sources say, “they’ve also hit a lot of bumps on the road to getting back together.”

According to reports, Elin is not planning for divorce but wants to ensure her and the kids are financially covered regardless of what happens.

Perhaps his return to golf, his area of control and comfort will aid in the repair of his life. He hasn’t stopped trying yet.

Shock jock Howard Stern slammed the newly acclaimed star Gabourey Sidibe Monday night on his talk radio show.

More unfortunate was his focus on her weight. We all know Mr. Stern has never been one to hold back so its really no surprise. He ranted, “There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie.”

He also went on to say that she should have gotten Best Actress because her career wont be continuing.

Gabourey’s Mother Alice Tan Ridley responded to the bash by saying that her daughter would like to lose some weight saying, “The truth is Gabourey would like to lose some weight but the reality is that she would have not gotten the role of Precious of she had not been heavy.”

She went on to support her daughter by mentioning that she’d like Gabourey to be healthy but if she doesn’t lose the weight its not a problem since it runs in the family. “I’m proud of my daughter no matter what and the truth is that there are all kinds of acting roles for all sorts of people.”

Stern may be proven wrong. Access Hollywood claims that Gabourey will have a recurring place in Showtime’s new comedy series, “The Big C” along side Laura Linney and Oliver Pit. Additionally, word has spread that she will be acting in the upcoming, “Yelling to the Sky,” film.

Hollywood and America has fallen in love with the big, beautiful and charismatic woman and can’t wait to see what she’ll do next. You go girl!

Nothing can stand in the way of Gaga and her fans. Not even health.

During her concert on March 13 in New Zealand, the star collapsed. During the chart-topping performance of “Bad Romance” Gaga fell to her knees, removed her wild headpiece and then laid down on the stage. All the while, her dancers were still running through their moves.

No one knows if it was really part of the act or if Gaga was in pain. Sources say she was tweeting “normally” after the show with no mention of a collapse or canceled shows.

On a brighter note, Gaga just announced her plans for a summer tour. Her Monster Ball Tour will hit 31 North American Cities. A big bang show is planned for NYC in the Garden with a wide gap between the July 6^th concert and the next implying that additional dates will be added if the Garden is sold out. She wants everyone to get a piece of her.

In an interview about the new tour, Gaga revealed that “[The tour] has a New York theme. It’s a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York, and we’re going to the Monster Ball, and we get lost.”

Tickets go on sale Friday.

Looks like we wont be missing Paula for long.

Former American Idol Judge, Paula Abdul is reportedly finalizing a deal with ABC for a refurbished version of the eighties singing competition, Star Search which will label Paula as either a host or judge.

The show is set to air this summer. Nothing has been confirmed yet as to the tentative plans for her signing onto fellow Judge Simon Cowell’s American X Factor which is set to premiere next year on FOX.

It’s so long to Idol but not to the singing competitions.

The first Star Search made its debut in 1983 with host Ed McMahon. It ran until late 1995 and held performances by Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears before their prime.

Surprisingly, this is not the first time the show has been revamped. CBS tried in 2003 but cut it only a year later.

Abdul was initially recruited for Dancing With the Stars but no contracts were signed.

One of the most dreaded injuries of any athlete occurred this Sunday. Soccer superstar David Beckham, 34, tore his left Achilles’ tendon during a non-U.S. soccer game.

On loan from his home team, U.S. LA Galaxy, Beckham was playing on Milan’s team against Chievo on Sunday. He reportedly trapped a pass with his left foot and awkwardly stepped back the wrong way. Immediately after a quick step forward he began to hop on his right foot with pain and tears in his eyes.

He stumbled to the sideline for medical attention where it was determined that his Achilles tendon had been torn.

His national manager, Fabio Capello stated, “I am very sad for David that he has suffered this injury. We have to wait for the results of the scan, but it looks like he is out of the World Cup … David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow.”

Participating in three World Cups prior, odds are against the possibility of being the first English player to attend the World Cup four times.

On top of that, he is the biggest draw in the US’ Major League Soccer and it is uncertain when he will be able to play again.

Today, Beckham heads to Finland for specialized treatment and a scan of the injury with a potential operation in the mix.

His website expresses his love and gratitude for fan support throughout this unfortunate event.

Former protégé and suspected love child of Michael Jackson, Omar Bhatti tells the Jackson kids that he is their father.

The 25-year-old Norwegian rapper has been living with the Jackson family since the death of the king. According to RadarOnline, Bhatti has been telling the Jackson children, Prince, Paris and Blanket to call him Michael. He has ultimately changed his name to Omar Michael Bhatti and introduces himself as Michael.

The kids are currently living with their grandmother, Katherine at the Hayvenhurst compound. The Department of Children and Family Services of California are conducting an open investigation into the allegations.

Since Michael’s death, Omar has reportedly clung to the Jackson family while taking advantage of their vulnerability and manipulating the children.

Some believe  he is just exploiting the Jackson name while living off the funds. Yet, on the other hand, his appearance and the admitted family connection by Michael in years prior seem to point otherwise.

The children remain shook up, Prince especially. Sources state that he is beginning to believe Omar’s clams.
