Does everyone remember the girl that John Mayer hooked up with right after he and Aniston called it quits in March? Her name’s Scheana Marie Jancon, and she’s 23 years old. Allegedly, she and Mayer hooked up a few times. Then Scheana tried to get famous off of the association with Mayer by giving an interview “telling all” about their “relationship” and Mayer predictably dumped her. Well, Scheana’s back, and she’s trying to get famous off a whole new hook-up - this time it’s her years-long affair with married Eddie Cibrian.

This story comes from In Touch Weekly, and seems completely sourced from one of Scheana’s “friends” named “Sandra”. According to Sandra, Scheana and Eddie were carrying on for a couple of years. At first, Scheana had no idea Eddie was married. Probably because this girl is an idiot, and she had never heard of Google? Anyway, she eventually found out Eddie was married, but Scheana still kept carrying on the affair. In Touch also has some pictures of Eddie and Scheana together, so part of the story is probably very real. But when Eddie was caught in public with LeAnn Rimes, it seems Eddie totally dumped Scheana, even changing his phone number. Now Scheana’s friend is whining to In Touch that Scheana can’t believe that she wasn’t Eddie’s only mistress! Wait, let me go get my tiny violin:

LeAnn Rimes recently told Dean Sheremet, her husband of seven years, that she wanted to leave him in the hope of being with her married Northern Lights costar Eddie Cibiran. But LeAnn will be surprised when she learns that Eddie was not only cheating on his wife - he was also cheating on both of them with 24-year-old model Scheana Marie Jancon up through February.

“Scheana was in love with Eddie,” Scheana’s close friend tells In Touch. “And she said Eddie told her he loved her. They were inseparable.”

Eddie and Scheana were connected emotionally and physically. “They had a really strong attraction,” Sandra reveals. “She said the sex was amazing. It was very passionate.”

Eddie, who is married to model Brandi Glanville and has two sons with her, met Scheana three years ago when she was a bartender at the Grand Havana Room in Beverly Hills. Eddie, who she claims didn’t tell her he was married, took her out on dates every Tuesday.

“That was their date night,” Sandra says, but adds that he chose low-key LA bars… probably so he wouldn’t be spied straying. “He wasn’t shy at all about PDAs,” Sandra tells In Touch. “He just didn’t have any shame.”

When Sheana finally did figure out that Eddie was married, she could not bring herself to end it. “She didn’t mean to be a home wrecker. She was just too far into it,” Sandra adds. “Her feelings were involved and it was hard for her to stop.”

Eddie treated Scheana like his girlfriend and spoiled her with vacations and jewelry. In the summers, he took her on five-day boating trips at local lakes, and in the winter he taught her how to snowboard.

One Christmas, Eddie even bought Scheana diamond hoop earrings. “She wears them all the time,” Sandra adds. “They’re beautiful. He treated her like a princess.”

Eddie and Scheana carried on their romance until February. “They took another trip to Mammoth,” Sandra explains. “It was the last time he told her he loved her.”

A month later, the two were supposed to meet up for St. Patrick’s Day, but on March 7, Eddie was captured on a security camera making out with LeAnn in Laguna Beach. He changed his phone humber and coldheartedly hasn’t contacted Scheana since.

“Scheana feels betrayed,” Sandra reveals. “She feels like Eddie cheated on her, as well as his wife. She was in shock.”

Scheana - who has also hooked up with John Mayer - had no idea that Eddie had been hooking up with LeAnn since they met on set last year.

LeAnn, who, In Touch recently reported, separated from Dean in the hope of being with Eddie, will likely not be amused when she finds out about his steamy affair with Scheana.

“If you’re going to have a mistress,” Sandra insists, “only have one! Maybe he just didn’t think it would ever come back to him. Or maybe he really didn’t care if it did.”

I don’t feel any pity for this girl, or for LeAnn, or for Eddie. I feel a little twinge of something for Eddie’s wife Brandi, but really, how could she not know? Personally, I didn’t really believe the story that LeAnn wanted to leave her husband Dean for Eddie - I think LeAnn and Dean have an open marriage, but that’s just my take.

Eddie’s career is going better than ever in the wake of these scandals - the Lifetime movie he and LeAnn did had some of the best ratings ever for a cable film, and Eddie recently signed on for a new role on CSI: Miami. He also just signed on for a Hallmark Channel movie, Healing Hands. Cheaters always win, I suspect.

After last week’s revelation that the National Enquirer got the story right, and that Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee really were splitting, there were many rumors in the wake of the announcement. The rumors probably started before the official split, but now that there’s a nasty divorce on the horizon, “sources” are coming out of the woodwork. One of the many hilarious side notes is that all of the sources are going to New York publications - Long Island forever and all of that, I suppose. Billy Joel is a popular worldwide entertainer, but you can’t take away a New Yorker’s need for a divorce fought amongst the New York tabloids. First up, with have a little item in the New York Daily News, about the babies it seems neither of them wanted, that they’re now both trying to pretend they both wanted:

Another possible reason for Billy Joel’s breakup with wife Katie Lee: They couldn’t agree on when to start a family. A friend of the 60-year-old Piano Man tells us: “Billy wanted to get going now. Katie, who’s 27, wanted to focus on her career.” A friend of Katie argues, “That’s not true. If anything, it was the other way around.”

[From The New York Daily News]

Oh, that’s the sweet spot. “If anything, it was the other way around.” Chuckle. God, I love a nasty separation/divorce when there are no innocent kids around. There’s just something so soothing about an old guy (who should have known better) and a gold-digging child-bride battling it out in the tabloids.

But what of the original reason for the split, cited by the Enquirer and the New York Daily News? That was the rumor that Katie Lee had been getting hot and heavy with 36-year-old Israeli designer Yigal Azrouel. Katie and Yigal allegedly have been carrying on an affair for a while now - but Page Six has a great scoop on Yigal. Apparently, Katie’s not the only young fashionista that hangs on Yigal’s every word. Yigal is quite a “swordsman” who has “been known to sleep with fashion editors who can help his career.” This is all because Yigal is the holy grail of fashion designers: a good-looking straight guy. According to Page Six’s sources, that alone ensures that “everyone lines up.”

KATIE Lee Joel isn’t the only comely female to be linked to Israeli fashion designer Yigal Azrouel.

Azrouel’s close relationship with the 27-year-old celebrity chef is rumored to have played a role in her breakup last week with Billy Joel, 60, after five years of marriage. Katie and Azrouel were spotted “dirty dancing” in Miami earlier this year, and a source told Page Six that Katie frequently opted to stay in the city near Azrouel instead of hanging out with her husband on Long Island.

A rep for Joel has said her relationship with Azrouel is “absolutely unrelated” to the split, but fashion insiders say Azrouel has quite the reputation as a fashion swordsman.

“He’s been known to sleep with fashion editors who can help his career,” a source told Page Six, adding that Azrouel has had relationships with higher-ups at both W magazine and the New York Times. “He loves to have women over for small, intimate dinner parties and to play video games. That’s his big thing.”

Added another source: “Obviously, there just aren’t that many straight guys in fashion. So when one comes on the scene, everyone lines up. And Yigal is very into the social element of the business, which is why he’s always photographed on Patrick McMullan’s Web site and has a store out east,” referring to his boutique in Water Mill. Azrouel was previously linked to socialite Fernanda Niven.

Back in April, Joel’s rep told us, “Yigal is a friend of Katie’s. They have collaborated on dresses for her media appearances. They worked together to create designs. It’s a simple friend-work relationship.”

Both Azrouel and Katie Lee were invited to the Whitney’s Persol Incognito Design Exhibition preview tomorrow, though she has not confirmed her attendance. Azrouel could not be reached.

[From Page Six]

He really sounds like an Israeli gigolo rather than a fashion designer. I guess the point of this story was the tabloid letting Katie Lee down gently, if she had hopes of leaving “William Joel” for a dashing Israeli. Not going to happen, Katie. It’s the oldest story in the book - gold-digging child-bride meets older man of her dreams, marries old man, realizes old man is no fun, goes out to have fun with Israeli gigolo, leaves old man for Israeli gigolo, gigolo tells girl “actually, I’m seeing other people”, girl comforts herself with multimillion-dollar divorce settlement, alone and weeping. It’s the modern fairytale/cautionary tale.

Sienna Miller, who just two weeks ago told Vogue that she was, “‘really naive and trusting’” in her relationship with Balthazar Getty, is back frolicking with him once again. Nude, once again. On Father’s Day. Not a “once again” as far as I know, but still… cavorting with him while he ignores his kids and family … once again.

Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty were spotted with one another in beautiful Positano, Italy over the weekend.

Photos snapped show a topless Miller walking on a balcony, followed by shots of an ill-looking Getty — clad in only white shorts — sitting on the balcony with an attending physician. Sienna, clad in towel, came back out and smoked a cigarette as the medic attended to Getty.

The Alfie star has a romance with the separated 34-year-old Brother And Sisters heartthrob in her past, but the pair had not been spotted together in quite some time.

On an unrelated note, we’d like to wish Getty, daddy to four kids, a happy belated fathers [sic] Day!

[From Radar]

Sienna sure has a problem with nudity. Historically, she’s had trouble keeping her clothes on in public – but gets suing mad if the paparazzi take pictures of her. The little thing about Getty and the doctor was slightly interesting, but I think the guy’s such an ass I don’t really care. He’s just as big a jerk as Sienna – if not bigger – but she’s more famous, so she catches more crap for it. So I have a hard time feeling empathy for him, and whatever he’s got going on, it’s not bad enough to keep him from enjoying himself. And how did Radar know the other guy was a doctor? Was he wearing scrubs? Walking around with a stethoscope, pressing it against things?

I find it hard to care. I’m sure we’re supposed to all be up in arms that these two are once again seeing each other. But I think it’s no big surprise Sienna Miller is a completely self-centered bull sh*tter, and Balthazar Getty is still a cheating loser. Congrats, you make a beautiful pair.

It’s strange for a middle-class American girl - like me - to pass judgment on the British upper class. They have their own way of doing things, which I came to realize as I obsessively read about Price Charles and Princess Diana. Prince Charles’s long-standing affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles was, to me, a case study in how profoundly strange the British upper class is. Charles could have had his pick of any number of young, pretty aristocratic daughters, and was married to to one of the most beautiful women in the world. But he chose Camilla, bless his weird heart.

I bring up the Charles-Diana-Camilla dynamic because I was reminded of the weird British upper class when I read this story about Michael Gambon. Gambon is a very talented Irish actor (though a British citizen), known mostly in America for his work in the Harry Potter films and for his character work in such films as Layer Cake and Gosford Park. He’s also one of the great stage actors working today - he was even knighted by the Queen in 1998 for his services to drama. Technically speaking, I suppose he’s not really the British upper class, but the seems to be the society in which he rolls, so that’s how I think of him.

Michael Gambon has been married to his wife, now Lady Anne Gambon, since 1962. They have a son together, the 44-year-old Fergus. All of this hasn’t stopped Sir Michael from not only carrying out an affair, out in the open, but from starting a family with his mistress. His mistress is named Phillipa Hart, and she just gave birth to her second child with the 68-year-old Gambon:

Harry Potter star SIR MICHAEL GAMBON is a dad again — aged 68.

Sir Michael, who plays Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore, had the child with his mistress. His wife knows he is raising a second family and he splits his time between their two homes and a bachelor pad in London.

The baby — named William — is the second Sir Michael has had with 43-year-old set designer Philippa Hart. Their first, Michael, was born in May 2007.

The actor, also has a 44-year-old son with his wife, Lady Anne.

A family friend said: “Philippa gave birth at a London hospital without complications and little Michael is a beautiful bouncing baby. It is a very strange set of circumstances worthy of a film script in itself.”

“But Michael is open with his wife and she accepts the second relationship, though there have been rows in the past.”

Sir Michael shares a house with his wife of 45 years in Gravesend, Kent. He visits Philippa in Chiswick, South West London, “a few times a week”.

He is a private man — described by friends as “delightful” to those close to him but with a “very short temper”.

He joined the Potter films in the third instalment, The Prisoner of Azkaban, after original Dumbledore RICHARD HARRIS died.

The next film, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, is out next month.

[From The Sun]

I suppose it’s none of our business. If Lady Anne is okay with it, we should be too. But it just seems profoundly weird. If you want to live with your mistress, why not just divorce your wife and start another family? Why the whole two-family thing? The whole “he spends a few nights with his wife, then a few nights with his mistress” thing? Michael Gambon was raised a Catholic, and I wonder if he still practices to the extent where he thinks divorce is some kind of sin. In the light of his mistress giving birth to a second child, I can only guess that if that’s the case, Gambon feels he only has to adhere to the letter, not the spirit, of church doctrine.

The first part of Elizabeth Edwards’ book tour is a stop on Oprah’s couch to talk about how John lied about all of the cheating, and how Rielle Hunter (“the other woman”) is “pathetic”. Actually, all of that is from Elizabeth’s book, Resilience. When Oprah sat down with Elizabeth in the Edwards’ North Carolina home, Elizabeth refused to use Rielle’s name, only calling her “this person”.

Oprah actually had the cojones to ask Elizabeth about the rumor that John Edwards is the father of Rielle’s child, and Elizabeth actually answers! Elizabeth replied, “That’s what I understand. I’ve seen a picture of the baby. I have no idea. It doesn’t look like my children, but I don’t have any idea.” Whoa… that’s intense. Did it occur to Elizabeth to actually ask John? Or maybe she did, and he lied, or Elizabeth doesn’t know if he’s lying? Or Rielle is lying? Did it occur to anyone to get a damn blood test?

In a revealing new interview with Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Edwards says it’s “complicated” when asked about the state of her marriage to former presidential candidate John Edwards, who famously had an affair with videographer Rielle Hunter.

Is it a day by day thing, Winfrey asks her on Thursday’s show.

“Neither one of us is out the door,” replies Elizabeth, who is battling terminal breast cancer. “So I guess it’s day by day, but maybe it’s month by month.”

Elizabeth — who spoke to Winfrey from her family’s 28,000-square-foot home in Chapel Hill, NC — says they’re “still living together.” But when asked if she still loves her husband, she replies, “You know, that’s a complicated question.”

Looking back on their marriage, Elizabeth tells Winfrey she asked John for one gift before her wedding 31 years ago.

“I wanted him to be faithful to me,” she says. “It was enormously important to me.”‘

But, days after declaring his run for president in 2006, John confessed to his wife that he had had an affair. (The National Enquirer broke the story a year later.)

“What John said is that this woman spotted him in the hotel in which he was staying. He was meeting someone in the restaurant bar area, and she verified with someone who he worked with that it was John,” Elizabeth tells Winfrey.

“John went to dinner at a nearby restaurant and when he walked back to the hotel, she was standing in front of the hotel. She said to him, ‘You are so hot.’”

After the Enquirer broke the story, it also reported that John was the father of Hunter’s daughter (which he denied).

Asked about the speculation, Elizabeth says, “That’s what I understand. I’ve seen a picture of the baby. I have no idea. It doesn’t look like my children, but I don’t have any idea.”

Elizabeth — whose memoir Resilience is to be published May 12 — opens up more about Hunter in the June issue of O.

Choosing not to address Hunter by name, she says, “This person is very different from me, and really very different from him. We’re basically old-fashioned people. So, this was a pretty big leap for him. Maybe it’s being so different is what was attractive.”

Asked about her own mortality, Elizabeth says it’s not “frightening,” but she prays for an “ever-after.”

“I would be leaving part of my family, but I can do [that] and join another party and wait for that day when we’re all together again,” she says. “In some ways, it’s something you yearn for.”

[From US Weekly]

“This person is very different from me, and really very different from him. We’re basically old-fashioned people. So, this was a pretty big leap for him. Maybe it’s being so different is what was attractive.” Funny how that goes - Elizabeth is basically saying John wanted a little “strange” - well, he got it. And now Elizabeth is out there, speaking with more honesty than any cheated-on wife in recent memory.

The situation for disgraced former presidential candidate John Edwards is really starting to get sticky. We told you how Edwards privately admitted to his wife that he is indeed the father of mistress Rielle Hunter’s 1-year-old daughter, Frances. Now, Elizabeth Edwards, who is dying from terminal breast cancer, will be making an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. It’s not clear what Mrs. Edwards will be talking about, but Rielle Hunter is prepared to respond to any potential remarks by making an appearance of he own in an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer or Barbara Walters.

John Edwards’ mistress Rielle Hunter is “ready for her close-up” with her first national TV interview since the cheating scandal wrecked his career, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

In a startling change of heart, Rielle Hunter has decided to face the cameras and has narrowed her choice of interviewer to either “ABC News” correspondents Diane Sawyer or Barbara Walters, say sources.

“Rielle had previously assured John she wasn’t going to spill the beans,” said a close source. “But she’s changed her tune after thinking Elizabeth Edwards might disparage her in the upcoming interview she’s already taped with Oprah Winfrey.

“The interview will be broadcast in mid-May to coincide with the publication of Elizabeth’s new book in which she’s likely to address the affair.”

As a result, a behind-the-scenes war of words is breaking out between Rielle and Elizabeth.

“Rielle’s decided she’s not going to sit back while Edwards’ wife gives her side of the story,” said the close source. “As much as John hates it, he’s defenseless to stop either woman from saying what she wants. It’s now erupted into a war between his wife and his former mistress over who will have the last word in what could be dueling TV interviews.”

Rielle intensified talks with the ABC superstars in early April in preparation for going in front of the cameras.

“No deal is done, but Rielle seems to favor Barbara Walters over Diane because Barbara admitted recently she engaged in a long-ago affair,” said the close source. “This makes Rielle believe Barbara will show her more compassion than Diane would.”

Following a series of world exclusive Enquirer exposes, the former presidential candidate finally admitted to the affair last summer - after our reporters caught the ex-senator visiting Rielle and her baby in a Beverly Hills hotel.

Both Edwards and Rielle have publicly maintained that Edwards is not the father.

Rielle claimed that the father is Andrew Young, a married Edwards crony. But we’ve reported that Rielle has privately told close friends that she never had a sexual relationship with Young - and has confided that Edwards is really the baby’s father.

Will Rielle spill her guts on national TV?

[From The National Enquirer print version, April 27, 2009]

Between his wife doing Oprah and his mistress doing ABC news, John Edwards’ head must be about to explode. And I say, serves him right! This jerk thought he could get away with cheating on his terminally ill wife AND fathering a child with that mistress. He admitted in that interview last year that not only did he cheat, but he is a narcissist. Damn right. I don’t really have any interest in hearing what this Rielle person has to say. She’s just as bad as he is. It’s not like she didn’t know what she was getting herself into with Edwards. The person I’d love to hear from is Elizabeth - although it seems like she has chosen to stand by her man- even though he’s a total scum bag.

As the saying goes, there’s no fool like an old fool. That’s certainly the case with 60-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood, who attended the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony this weekend with his 20-year-old girlfriend, Ekaterina Ivanova. Ekaterina and Ron started their relationship while Ron was still married to his wife of 23 years, Jo, and the guitarist was in the throes of a weeks-long drinking bender. Ekaterina was a cocktail waitress at the bar in Ireland where Ron was sousing it up for days on end. While his wife, Jo, thought he was in rehab for alcohol abuse, Ron was hooking up with then-19-year-old Ekaterina. Since leaving his wife for the girl, he has been off the wagon in a major way. Perhaps that’s why he thought it was in good taste to take Ekaterina as his date to the Hall of Fame ceremony.

Rolling Stone Ron Wood attended Saturday’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies with his new girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova, 20.

Wood and the former waitress have been together since last summer, as he divorces his wife of 23 years Jo, but this weekend was their first outing at a public event.

The Woods have two children, 30-year-old Leah and 25-year-old Tyrone.

[From Huffington Post]

What is there to say about a man who dates a woman younger than his own kids? Ekaterina has been alive for less time than Ron Wood was married to his long-suffering wife. Multiple sources say Jo managed Ron’s business finances for years, so she knows exactly what he’s worth. Rumor has it that Jo Wood is going for the legal jugular in the divorce case after being so publicly humiliated by her husband. And according to reports, Ekaterina sure likes it when grandpa Ron buys her expensive gifts- including a guitar played by Jimi Hendrix worth more than £13,000. Looks like Ronnie is going to get bankrupted coming and going - I sure hope this new young thing is worth it!

Married country singer LeAnn Rimes has stirred up quite the controversy for herself. Yesterday US Weekly came out with a cover story in which they detailed video evidence that she’s having an affair with married actor Eddie Cibrian. The two costarred in a Lifetime movie together. Now US has released the video, in which the pair are clearly on a date.

Us Weekly has the exclusive video of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian kissing, holding hands — and even sucking on each other’s fingers during a March 7 date at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach, California.

Twenty-two seconds into the clip, Cibrian arrives at the restaurant and they walk in hand-in-hand. Then they’re seated — as seen in the center left of the frame — and proceed to hold hands (36 seconds) and kiss (1:47). At the 2:10 mark, Rimes suggestively sucks on Cibrian’s finger. They leave together shortly after.

Us Weekly has seen the $95 receipt for the dinner, as paid for by Cibrian on his credit card and signed by him. The newest issue also shows photos of Cibrian and Rimes meeting up for a three-hour tryst March 14 at the Malibu Beach Inn — where the blinds were closed and a do not disturb sign was placed on the door. Cibrian was not wearing his wedding ring.

All the while, Cibrian’s pickup truck sat in the parking lot with a visible child’s car seat in the back.

[From Us Weekly]

US has been doing some hardcore investigative work. I wonder who tipped them off to the affair in the first place? Rimes has been vague in her response to the allegations, while Cibrian has denied them.

The stars of Northern Lights are not fusing together. So says Eddie Cibrian, who costars with LeAnn Rimes in the upcoming Lifetime movie and who awoke Wednesday to find himself the subject of a scintillating Us Weekly cover alleging an extramarital affair between the two.

“Other than being friends and two actors who were romantically intertwined in a movie-for-television we filmed last fall, there is no truth to the reporting initiated by Us Magazine,” the 35-year-old married father of two said in a statement obtained by E! News. “It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship.”

Cibrian’s denial follows Rimes’ morning post to her website, in which the country-pop songbird lamented this “difficult time” in her life. “I would like to assure all of you that this is a place for you to hear things directly from me and as you all know, not everything in our lives is always black and white,” she wrote.

But while Cibrian has dismissed the pictures published in Us of what are said to be Rimes and Cibrian on a date, an employee from Mosun in Laguna Beach, Calif., tells E! News that on the night in question, the two were “quite clearly on a date… They came in holding hands, and they left holding hands,” the source said. “It was not a ‘friendly’ situation.”

“They were kissing over the table, holding each other’s hands across the table, kissing each other’s hands, touching each other’s faces,” the source said. There’s also surveillance video of the duo eating dinner, and “there’s no question of who it was,” the source concluded.

[From E! News]

It seems like there’s nearly irrefutable evidence of an affair. At some point it’s better to just come clean. It’s been rumored that LeAnn’s husband, Dean Sheremet (who is one of her former backup dancers) is gay. LeAnn has never addressed the issue, but I can’t help but wonder if she’s hinting at something along those lines when she says “not everything in our lives is always black and white.” It’s safe to say we’ll hear some type of more official response from Rimes in the next few days.

Actor Mel Gibson has been trying to rehab his image and launch a Hollywood comeback lately after his drunken tirade against a Los Angeles cop during a DUI bust ruined his career. But it may be harder for the “Braveheart” star to win back fans now that photos of Gibson and his mistress hugging and cavorting at his Costa Rican estate have hit the internet. While the woman in the new set of photos hasn’t been identified, it sure looks like Oksana, the mystery brunette who was photographed with Gibson last November.

He has explained his way out out of tight spots before, and it looks like he’ll have to again.

Mel Gibson has been pictured embracing a stunning bikini-clad woman in the surf near his estate home in Costa Rica.

And while her identity remains a mystery, it was definitely not 52-year-old Robyn Moore, his wife of 28 years and mother of his seven children.

Our source on the beach said: ‘It was near sunset. The two of them were playing in the surf, ducking into waves.

‘Then Mel sort of took hold of her and she came willingly into his arms. They put their arms around each other and kissed pretty passionately for about four or five seconds. The two of them then wandered down the beach and popped in and out of the surf.’

Gibson, 53, owns a 300-acre retreat on the shores of Costa Rica’s Pacific shoreline. It was there that he apparently entertained Britney Spears to help her recuperate after her recent breakdown.

It is not clear whether his wife, who is seldom seen in public, is with him in Costa Rica or at one of his other homes in California, Connecticut, Fiji and his native Australia.

Last September there were reports that Gibson was becoming close to a glamorous Russian musician known only as Oksana while filming his new movie Edge of Darkness in Boston.

In 2006, with his tongue loosened by tequila, he ranted against Jewish people to a female traffic police officer who had pulled him over for drink driving.

Two years earlier he was forced to issue denials of anti-Semitism when his film, The Passion Of The Christ, was widely condemned for portraying Jews as the villains.

Gibson’s publicist is not available for comment.

[From The Daily Mail]

The Daily Mail has posted the photos of Gibson and the woman hugging and kissing on the beach. Though her face isn’t visible, the woman is most likely Oksana, the dark haired, slender woman who was seen lurking around Gibson’s trailer on the shoot of his new movie, “Edge of Darkness” late last year. A story in The National Enquirer last year claimed that Gibson was divorcing his long-suffering wife to be with the woman, but no statement has come from the Gibson camp to confirm it. It’s long been speculated that the actor’s marriage has been in name only for many years for the sake of their children, and also because Gibson, a devout Catholic, doesn’t want to divorce. I wonder how his wife feels about those pictures?

These photos were the first ones of Gibson and his alleged mistress on the set of his movie last November. It sure looks like the same woman in the new photos. Credits: Fame.

Poor Morgan Freeman. First, he was in a serious car crash last year that injured him and his passenger. Now that passenger is suing him for negligence. Then, his wife of 24 years filed for divorce and stands to win a substantial alimony settlement. His new Broadway play, “The Country Girl,” is getting terrible reviews. And finally, sources say that Freeman’s long time mistress- the reason his marriage imploded - has also dumped him. Okay - maybe I don’t feel that sorry for him on that last one.

Morgan Freeman has been dumped by the mistress who broke up his marriage, The Enquirer has learned exclusively.

For four years, the 71-year-old star has been romantically involved with divorced former school-teacher Mary Joyce Hays, 60. Friends of the couple say they were headed for marriage after Morgan’s divorce was final, and Mary Joyce occasionally sported an engagement ring.

But they split up recently while Morgan was in New York performing on stage in “The Country Girl,” revealed a source close to the pair.

“Mary Joyce told me, ‘I broke up with Morgan. It’s definitely over.’”

Myrna Colley-Lee, Morgan’s wife of 24 years, filed for divorce last year after being separated from him since December of 2007.

But Mary Joyce insists that Morgan and Myrna had been living separate lives for a lot longer - at least 20 years, according to the close source.

“Mary Joyce told me, ‘I don’t think Myrna thought I was much of a threat. But she didn’t think it would turn into love.’”

The source said that Mary Joyce left Morgan because the actor no longer loved her, and she said: “He tried to push me away.”

[From The National Enquirer print version, March 23, 2009]

I really don’t understand why a man would choose to live in a sham of a marriage for 20 years while keeping a mistress on the side. I suppose he was worried about having to give up a chunk of his money, and that fear seems to be justified. But he probably has a lot more money to lose now than he did 20 years ago. Why not call it a day, get divorced and move on instead of going through the motions for 20 years? Life’s too short. Maybe his mistress dumping him and this lawsuit by another woman who is adamant that she isn’t his mistress are some sort of karmic retribution for the choice he made. But you know, for a 70 year old man, he sure is a player!
