While the 50 year old Dina is said to have rekindled her romance with high school sweetheart Scott Fisher, Clint Eastwood is allegedly dating Scott’s ex wife Erica! A classic case of wife swapping?

Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana: Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper were reportedly in an on and off relationship for two years, from December 2011 to January 2013. The reason for the break up is allegedly their fight over Cooper’s ex girlfriend, actress Renee Zellweger.

Saldana seemed angry and soon moved on when she secretly tied the knot with Italian artist Marco Perego in June 2013 in London. Bradley Cooper began dating Suki Wa terhouse but broke up with her. He is now reportedly dating Irina Shayk.

Geor ge is currently married to lawyer Amal Alamuddin.

They say the split is amicable and will soon formalize their separation as they will get divorced.

The two were clicked kissing publicly. At that point, Kristen was already in a relationship with her Twilight co actor Robert Pattinson.

Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus: The singer and actor met on the sets of ‘The Last Song’. Both Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth seemed inseparable. The young couple was also engaged for a year. But apparently things were not going great between the two. Liam’s closeness to actress January Jones seemed to be the reason for the split. There were also rumours doing the rounds that Liam was not too happy with Miley’s recent way of behaving (The twerking act with singer Robin Thicke). Post the split, Miley said that she loved Liam. A sorry state of affairs for both! After parting ways with Liam Hemsworth, Miley was dating Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Singers Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale to divorce: reports - Reuters

LOS ANGELES Singer Gwen Stefani has filed for divorce from rockstar husband Gavin Rossdale after 13 years of marriage, several news reports said on Monday.

In her divorce petition, Stefani, 45, cited irreconcilable differences and asked for joint custody of the couple's three children, 9-year-old Kingston, 6-year-old Zuma and 1-year-old Apollo, celebrity websites TMZ and People.com said.

Rossdale, 49, filed his response at the same time and also asked for joint custody, TMZ reported.

Neither Stefani nor Rossdale's attorneys immediately responded to emails seeking comment.

The couple has been together for about two decades, meeting when Stefani's band No Doubt toured with Rossdale's band Bush in 1995, People.com reported. They dated for six years before they wed in 2002.

"While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment," the couple told the website in a statement.

'Transparent' star says transgender Maura would envy Caitlyn - Washington Post

'Transparent' star says transgender Maura would envy Caitlyn - Washington Post

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. â€" Jeffrey Tambor says Maura Pfefferman, his transgender character in “Transparent,” would be envious of the attention Caitlyn Jenner’s getting.

“You bet,” Tambor told a TV critics’ Q&A session Monday. “Maura loves a red carpet and loves a party. Definitely, that’s something she would really like.”

The former Bruce Jenner is documenting her fledgling public journey into womanhood in an E! reality series and has been feted at the Espy Awards, on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine and elsewhere.

“We love Caitlyn,” said Tambor, who’s had dinner with Jenner. She’s gone on record as loving “Transparent,” he said.

Tambor was asked to compare his experience playing a man who opens up to his family about his gender identity with Jenner’s real-life experience.

“If my knees were knocking, you can imagine her knees,” he said after the panel. “I think she is courageous and I told her so. The example she is setting is so, so beautiful and it’s gonna go very, very far. (It’s) not only illustrative but also very inspiring to me.”

He doesn’t think of himself as a spokesman for the transgender cause, he said, “But I think as an ally I can do great good.”

Tambor said that he didn’t foresee Jenner appearing on Amazon’s “Transparent.” She has her own show, he said, smiling.

During what he called “field trips” dressed as Maura, Tambor said he was surprised to find it was easier than he had expected.

“It was life changing. ... People don’t look at you,” he said, aside from a few glances. A highlight came at a restaurant, when a man got up to leave and passed by Tambor’s table.

“He said, ‘Have a good day, ladies.’ I said, ‘Yes!’ I felt so good because I had made it up in my h ead it’s much more.”

When Tambor was asked about the possibility of more “Arrested Development,” he said that “there’s been talk.” But he’s focused strictly on taping season two of “Transparent,” he said, and was carrying script pages in his pocket.

The series returns Dec. 4 on Amazon, which has greenlighted a third season. “Transparent,” which also stars Judith Light and Bradley Whitford, received 11 nominations for next month’s Emmy Awards.
