Star: Alex Skarsgard realizes that Kate Bosworth was just using him for fame

The rumors about a split between Alexander Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth grow stronger by the day. Initially, reports out of Sweden seemed to indicate that Kate had done the dumping, and that it was because she felt that Alex wasn’t a good enough boyfriend because he wouldn’t marry her or something. Then, Us Weekly reported that Kate and Alex were still together, but that she was cheating on him. And now Star is saying that the whole thing is finally over, and that Alex is totally bitter about it. Apparently, Alex now thinks Kate is just a dumb, cheating famewhore and he never wants to speak to her again. Oh, Alex. I love you!

So much for parting as pals. Alexander Skarsgard – who was so crazy for girlfriend Kate Bosworth that he took her home to meet his family in Sweden – isn’t holding back his hard feelings in the wake of their fresh split.

After admitting to a friend that they called it quits because Kate wanted to see other people, he added bitterly: “I don’t care what she does these days.”

He isn’t taking her calls and says that he regrets ever dating her. Recent reports that she made out with a high school sweetheart while visiting family in Massachusetts surely only added insult to injury, though Kate has denied the story.

Skarsgard also griped that he believes Kate was using him to attract media attention to boost her ailing career. Ouch!

I cosign this portrait of Kate – this is how I’ve always seen her. Need I remind you of these photos of Kate and Alex just weeks into their relationship? Yes, she’s a famewhore, and she was just dating you for attention. Now you can move on, Alex, without bitterness, to someone more worthy. Someone who will be with you for your body.

    I have a hard time believing he is running around boo-hooing over a failed relationship. Hoenstly, it sounds like something a high scholl guy would say, not an actor who is a hot property right now.

    I can’t believe she would make out with a high school sweetheart over ASkars! Now that makes me question her judgement if it’s true!

  2. Hollowdoll says:

    I hope the relationship is really over and that she crawls back under the rock she came from.

  3. tired of rumers says:

    captain obvious headline of the day! hopefully askars dates someone interesting sometime soon.

  4. Lydia says:

    Why does it seem that in hollywood relationships (and in real life I guess) that the woman is always painted as the bad guy.

    Is this just jealousy?

    I don’t know her (unlike some of you who see to know her SO WELL) so I have no opinion of her. I am sure he wasn’t a peach in the relationship either because it usually takes two.

  5. Samigirl says:

    If he is heartbroken, I would be more than happy to console him.

  6. Janeth says:

    Alex now you can come over my house. Finally! lol If that’s how she really is, she wasn’t worth his time he will find a woman that’s up to par with him. Like me! lol

  7. mercy says:

    His eyes, his bod, his swagger, he’s got IT. He deserves better than that little mouse.

  8. Julie says:

    Bout time Askars tumbled to Kate Bosworth’s M.O. Count your blessings, Alex, you won’t miss this one.

  9. Super Sleuth says:

    HOT GUY FRIDAY! HOT GUY FRIDAY! HOT GUY FRIDAY! HOT GUY FRIDAY! HOT GUY FRIDAY! HOT GUY FRIDAY!!!!

  10. Sibyl says:

    I don’t know about the comments that he would not be hurt or upset over the break up or over the failure of a relationship meaning nothing because he is famous. He took her home to sweden to meet family and friends, so it must have been important. Plus, he has taled about past relationships in interviews and seems to really grasp the importance of having that in his life. He is a guy who would take it to heart and that makes him all the more worthy of his fame.

  11. Sumodo1 says:

    There had better be Askars AND Aaron Eckhart. What do I have to do to get some Aaron Eckhart around here???

  12. ams511 says:

    Oh kaiser i love you!

  13. ams511 says:

    sibyl-are you his publicist??? you just made me fall in love with him lol

  14. Kitten says:

    I like him better as Eric.
    Also is he wearing a denim on denim in the top pic?

  15. jen says:

    I keep re-freshing the page for HOT GUY FRIDAY lol.

  16. bb says:

    I’m gonna be slaughtered I know…but I thought they looked cute together.

  17. BethL says:

    Those photos are hilarious. I’ve never seen anybody pose when they weren’t on a redcarpet/event before.

  18. Lisa St. says:

    If you read his bio, he has a history of falling hard and being hurt when it ends, just his lover side…. I love love love him and I will do whatever it takes to make him happy again…:)

  19. RHONYC says:

    shake off those scars, Skars! *tee-hee*

    and good riddance to bad ‘inbred’ rubbish.

    hey! those blue and brown eyes don’t lie!

    🙂

  20. Julie says:

    “Those photos are hilarious. I’ve never seen anybody pose when they weren’t on a redcarpet/event before.”

    You haven’t seen many photos of Bosworth then! Posing is her game. And obviously not his. This is a relationship he’s going to be glad is in his rear view mirror.

  21. Beth says:

    I want to lick him.

  22. EarthWindFire82 says:

    Yes, she is after fame..because she can’t quite get it on her own. The bikini pics proved it.

  23. Pretty1908 says:

    what made him want to be with that posterchild for bulemia ? i would never do him like that? take me to sweden ? does your family like black girls? i would make alex a good ol southern fried meal and put him right to sleep. i love that man. he is still and cut thats how i like all my men.

  24. Lisa St. says:

    @ Beth…LOL! I think we all do!

  25. Mandhy says:

    Thanks Alex. I LOVE you. you don’t need any other women, you have all of US!! Plus i have a HUGE crush on your dad, i’m of an age shall we say….just keep lookin so good and being such good actors, that’s all WE, ok I, ask….hmmmmm musing on the beauty…AND the Class!! Skarsgard’s (sorry for mispelling) are CLASSY DUDES!!! LOVE IT

  26. Bodhi says:

    Oh happy day!! All I can say is FINALLY!! I hope she crawls back into her coke-head fame-whore hole!

  27. The Truth Fairy says:

    This chick is completely worthless!

  28. Amanda says:

    Why does she have one brown eye and one blue?

  29. Leticia says:

    As soon as he described himself as a pacifist in an interview, he lost me. Of course the opposite of pacifist is horrible, but I like a man who would be willing to fight for me or for what he believes in. Not someone who gives up easily.

  30. Beth says:

    Leticia – his pacifist nature comes from being Swedish. He did serve 18 months in the Swedish Marines, so he’s definitely now a p***y. You can still love him!

  31. Beth says:

    OMG I meant NOT a p***y!!!

  32. Julie says:

    Being a pacifist doesn’t mean you’re not willing to fight for things important to you, just that you’re not really into killing people to advance political interests.

  33. JM says:

    Thank God the BosHo show is OVER!!!! I hope it makes him a bit more picky about who he dates in the future. He may date around Hollywood but based on everything I’ve read and seen about him, I predict he’ll eventually marry an unknown Swedish girl with her own life and career. Good for you Alex and if you need help nursing that broken heart, I’d be happy to help. ^_^

  34. lo says:

    Yeah, right. They are probably still together.

  35. Lea says:

    Are her eyes two different colors?

  36. Gwen says:

    I really, really hope this is true.

  37. Kitten says:

    @ All–yeah her eyes are two different colors. They always have been.

  38. Kristin says:

    I doubt someone would date him just because he was famous – unless they were a total lesbian.

  39. Jeri says:

    Yeah Alex! Stay away from the publicity ho.

    It’s not ALL WOMEN that get the blame for breakups.

    Kate has a history and always manages to smile directly at the camera in candid shots, hard to do when you don’t know they’re there. I didn’t make this up – I’m quoting.

  40. hmm says:

    I wouldn’t be able to date her because her eyes are so distracting. I realize it’s something that she can’t help and I’m not hating but wow, it’s so hard to look at her.

  41. Scarlet Vixen says:

    @ Lea: Yup, her eyes are naturally 2 different colors. I think it’s called heterochromia or something. It’s a simple genetic trait, just like blue eyes, red hair, etc. 🙂

  42. Julie says:

    I think her eyes are beautiful, a really awesome trait.

  43. AJ says:

    Am I the only person who doesn’t think he is hot??? Sure, he has beautiful eyes and awesome abs but hello…what is up with that huge bulbous nose? He reminds me of my grandpa before he got grey and wrinkley. I just dont get the attraction to this one!

  44. LolaBella says:

    Alex, thank God you have finally come to your senses and dropped this publicity-loving famewhore.

    *Removes Alex from my ‘I Quit You’ bin*

    Now come over here and I’ll make it all better.

  45. Cleo says:

    He has the same nose as Albert Einstein. That’s why he and Anna Paquin look alike – like SIBLINGS. Ewwwww.

  46. moocowhead says:

    It kills me how hot this guy is.

  47. lucy2 says:

    He realized she was using him for fame? Well duh, we could have told him that ages ago!

  48. Mistral says:

    If this is a made-up story, the writer is reading the internet blogs…

    Excellent final line. He does seem cute in interviews, though. So, throw his adorable personality in with his adorable penchant for nudity.

    Kate is lovely, though. Cool eyes.

  49. MarleneEmmett says:

    If all of this is true then I’m really
    sorry about it~But I’m really also mad,
    mad that Alexander is was hurt by her.
    And that he’s hurting~he went thru one
    bad breakup and now’s he going thru
    another one. HE deserves happiness.
    And someone who maybe isn’t in the business like him??

  50. Rosanna says:

    Oh Kaiser what would the world be without you? The sexier a woman is the more you bitch about her LOL
    Alex is *boring* and Kate is classy and stunning. That’s why Kate is famous without him, and that’s also why she wanted to date somebody else. His pretty face gets boring after a while.

  51. Nonny Mouse says:

    If she was just dating him to help her career, how come her career is still in the toilet?

  52. Mags says:

    Me too lol, i’ve been refreshing the page since yesterday

  53. MarleneEmmett says:

    Rosanna:
    Sorry lady? But Alexander’s all class.
    He’s a very private person and didn’t
    like having to deal with the press~Especially having to do with a
    relationship he was having!!!
    Kate only wanted to show the press
    “oh look at who I’m going out with~one
    of the hottest actors” so she’d let the
    press know of their plans.
    And Alex got mad~She was using him.
    For your information, Alexander’s is one
    of the brightest up and coming talented
    actors around~A remake of Sam Peckinpaw’s Straw Dog’s is coming out
    next year and I can’t wait to see it.
    And if you’re a fan of HBO’s TrueBlood,
    then you’ll already know what kind of
    an actor he is. He comes from good genes
    his dad is actor Stellen Skarsgard.
    His dad’s last role was “Commander Richter in Angels & deamoms”

  54. Patrice says:

    Lydia: You CAN’T be serious with that comment… I do agree with you that none of us knows these people, but geez, c’mon, you don’t honestly believe that women are never the bad guy do you??? I mean, just because a woman is “portrayed” as an asshole doesn’t mean that there is some conspiracy to make woamn look bad. Sometimes woman ARE jerks in realtionships and cheat too. It has nothing to do with making women as a whole “look” like anything.

  55. DiMi says:

    She seems like one of these actresses/actors who keeps trying to trade up in each new relationship. She may have gotten a better offer from a more established star. But, I think all of the rumors could be true if you look at them sequentially instead of simultaneously. Perhaps, she gave him a marry me or it’s over ultimatum, then he called her bluff, then she was forced to bail saying that if you won’t put a ring on it, I’m dating other people. Then she tried to get back into the relationship, and he refused because he didn’t like the games. If he’s refusing her calls, it means she’s calling to renegotiate, but he’s not having it.

    His body is insane AND he’s really smart and sounds like a nice guy so she blew it, but the fact that he was into her shows a character flaw to me – Why did he fall for such a dull, shallow girl when there are more interesting and beautiful women in Hollywood who would jump on him if they could?

    I admit I loved her in Blue Crush, but I will always despise her for ruining Lois Lane, one of the great characters for women in film. I mean, I HATE her for that.

    She’s pretty and she’s an okay – not great – actress, but she is just a stunningly dull human being, and now she appears to be manipulative as well.

  56. calypso says:

    Oh Alex sweety, she doesn’t deserve you,live and learn.Women in Hollywood is not worth your time.You need a real woman unlike the likes of Kat Bonesworth.Obviously she is a woman of low character, her track record is enough proof.

  57. Camille says:

    I hope this is true. 😀

    Now if Brad and Angelina split up, I could totally see AJ and Alex together. Now there would be a hot couple if ever there was one.

  58. YvetteW says:

    The fact that he was dealing with her in the first place changed my perception of him. Sorry, but true. If this is his taste level, then who is the next one going to be Paris Hilton? Ugh.

  59. Darcy says:

    I’m a fan of his (and his father’s) work so I thought it special when his Dad played Cupid for them…I think that is so sweet.

    He’s intelligent, young, handsome and famous from a famous family. I understand how it could be difficult to find “the one.” But there is someone out here for him; I hope he finds that someone to make him happy.

    Gosh can’t help but say (like millions of others) I sure wish it was me..LOL

  60. DiMi says:

    YvetteW, I totally agree with you!!! When I saw they were together, I still thought he was objectively hot, but my crush evaporated. The same happened with Orlando Bloom, whom I never crushed on, but whom I thought was cute but found less desirable because he was with her. There are certain women that make a man less attractive when he chooses them, and it has nothing to do with the woman’s physical attractiveness. I think Bosworth is quite pretty. It has more to do with her personality and what it says about a man who would desire it. At the same time, some men become more attractive when they choose an interesting woman. Brad Pitt became more attractive to women who wrote him off as a pretty boy when he chose Angelina Jolie because it made him seem to have more depth. I say seem because I’m still not convinced. Or think about the men who have dated Paris Hilton. They could cure cancer, and we still wouldn’t fully respect them.

  61. Missouri58 says:

    Maybe it’s just me, but he seems to have every quality that a woman could possibly want in a man. Beautiful to the extreme, fun loving, well bred and totally a nice person, and most definitely not full of himself. Oh yes a reeky great sense of humor. Since I don’t know either one of them personally I can’t judge but in interviews and encounters with them together he seems like the better person not out seeking publicity. I really like him as an actor and truly hope he is happy in his personal life.

  62. kelly says:

    LOL, that guy! He just looks so subnormal!!! Am I the only one who thinks this? COME ON PEOPLE, he thought this Bosworth creature was the shit! He couldn’t get enough of her! And you STILL want him?
    He looks like he’d get confused on his way out of a small paper bag.
    Not in a million years.

  63. HatersSuck says:

    His real friends would never release anything to the media.
    It all gossip and no true fan of AS would buy into this explotational garbage.

  64. MindYourBiz says:

    He’s a grown man.Capable of making his own decisions.
    I enjoy his acting and he seems so down to earth.
    Just want to see him on the big screen and TV – never mind the gossip mongers.

  65. Michy says:

    When I started watching TB, this guy stood out! I mean, look at him!! LOL I’m not a stalker or anything but I read a lot of the celebrity sites and when I saw him with her I was…pissed off?! LOL I was jealous when she dated Orlando Bloom and I still wonder how she was able to score a guy like him. Then along came ASkars and its killing me!

    I must admit she sure has that charm on the guys and her portrayal of Lois Lane didn’t impress me. She’s a good actor though:)

    Hope they did/do break up. I pictured him with someone exotic. Similar height probably a supermodel LOL you never know. He has a great personality, down to earth kinda guy:) sure is one of a kind;)

  66. Katia says:

    SAD. I can’t find him hot anymore. If ASkars liked that dimwitted troll Bosworth for a minute, he’s stupid too.

    I see Alex’s pics and I thing he looks a bit retarded, like Down… sorry, but IDK why and I’m not the only one that think he looks “special”

  67. Katia Soledad says:

    SAD. I can’t find him hot anymore. If he liked that dimwitted Bosworth, he grosses me out. TRISTE.

    Now, looking at ASkars pictures, I think he look a bit retarded and I’m not the only one who thinks he looks “special”, you know + that video on youtube when he says “amazing” every few seconds…

  68. Betty says:

    Well, many people have said she is a famewhore and I guess maybe it`s true. She can`t get recognized on her own. Some thought he was getting a lot of attention because of her, but it was the other way around. Everyone who works with him, or knows him says he is just the sweetest person. I think he is just such a nice guy and is not into the whole “Hollywood” scene. He goes out because he likes to do things, not because he wants to be recognized. He has had a taste of how some Hollywood women are, maybe now he will be more careful about who he dates. There are a lot of nice women out there I`m sure. I hope he finds his soulmate.
