I don’t watch L.A. Ink but I remember seeing a clip where Kat got a tattoo of a coworker’s face on her thigh. (That was in an episode from 2008) Kat has her mother’s face on her back shoulder, her sister’s face on an arm, and her ex husband’s face on a leg. She has so many tattoos now that it’s hard to see where she’d have space for more. As part of the plot for the upcoming season of L.A. Ink, Kat got another face, her then-lover Jesse James’ fifth grade school photo, underneath her armpit. The scenario was basically the same as when she had her friend Pixie’s face tattooed on her – she did it as a surprise and then caught Jesse’s reaction for the show. He seemed ok with it, called her crazy and told her he loved her. (That clip is above.) Kat and Jesse are of course kaput now, making this season opener for L.A. Ink all the more mock-worthy.

Kat Von D and Jesse James may have broken off their engagement, but she has one thing from the relationship that is going to be really hard to get rid of – a tattoo of his face!

In the sneak peek of the season premiere of LA INk obtained by RadarOnline.com, Kat surprises Jesse with a tattoo on her left side that is his face from a childhood school photo.

“I’m getting his face tattooed on me and I have no idea how he’s going to react,” Kat says in the clip.

When Jesse arrives at her tattoo shop he jokes “I feel like I’m in court,” as Kat tells him she’s nervous about giving him his “surprise.”

He seems happy with her new ink – saying “you’re crazy,” but ultimately telling Kat “yeah” he loves it, and “I love you.”

Perhaps foreshadowing the future, Kat says she was scared about Jesse’s reaction. “I thought you were going to tell me you were breaking up with me.”

All I can do is point and laugh. In Kat’s case she has so much ink all over her body that it’s probably easy enough to ignore a few faces of her exes, though. It’s not like someone with a handful of tattoos getting stuck with a big photo of their ex on their body – she has hundreds.

Radar has a follow-up article about how a supposed eyewitness heard Kat and Jesse fighting outside her house. She was overheard accusing him of cheating on her. This is of course a very predictable outcome given Jesse’s well documented history. I hope that Kat is the one who leaked this story to Radar so that she could get her side of the story out. Again, pointing and laughing.

That lasted longer than I expected. Kat Von D announced on her Twitter account that she’s no longer with that selfless keeper Jesse James. Keeping me from thoroughly gloating is a tweet that Kat directed to Jesse’s teenage daughter Chandler, 16, sending kisses. Jesse also has son Jesse Jr., 14, and daughter Sunny, 7. It’s better for his kids that he keeps one woman at home and has the parade of skanks visit him during office hours, but of course that never works out for the guy long term. As much as Jesse acts like his infidelity is a badge of honor it’s really just a sad reminder that no matter how much tail he chases it’s never going to bring him fulfillment or purpose.

It was a little over a month ago that James was declaring that he was “absolutely more in love today [with Kat] than I was a year ago. She’s the one for me.” Now their summer wedding has been canceled and James will have to find another “best friend” to f*ck. Surely he has a few candidates lined up.

Jesse James and Kat Von D have split up, RadarOnline.com is the first to report.

Kat Von D issued the breakup statement on her Twitter account Monday night saying, “I am no longer w Jesse, and out of respect for him, his family and myself, thats all the info I’d like to share. Thanks for respecting that.”

The two got together after Jesse’s messy divorce with Sandra Bullock and announced their engagement in January.

“I just saw them a couple nights ago together in Hollywood at The Counter and they seemed really happy,” an eyewitness told RadarOnline.com.

“It’s surprising that they broke up.”

Jesse has yet to say anything on his Twitter account, but Kat also sent a message to his daughter Chandler on the social networking site saying, “kisses to both of you!!!” to which Chandler responded with an emoticon of a sad face and broken heart.

[From Radar Online]

Don’t get your hopes up, these two have broken up at least twice before. Kaiser thinks they broke up back in June and are just breaking the news to the public now. I agree, but think they must have had makeup sex at least once for them to declare their love for each other subsequently. So who cheated first this time, Kat or Jesse?

Jesse confirmed the news to People, and said “I’m so sad because I really love her. The distance between us was just too much.” He was way more courteous to Kat than he was to Sandra Bullock, but Bullock never played his game.

Crystal Harris and her Botoxy face were on The View yesterday, where Joy grilled her on why she left Hugh Hefner five days before their scheduled wedding. Crystal has already revealed her vague reasons for leaving Hef and has addressed the rumors that she was using him for the fame. Hef has been very gracious in his response to getting dumped right before the wedding, and has refrained from trash-talking Crystal or blaming her. On The View, Crystal wasn’t any more convincing in explaining her reasoning for leaving Hef than she was in the past, and she faltered and kind of hesitated when she was trying to defend herself. After a little while she warmed up though and tried to weakly make her case.

On why she bolted five days before the wedding
Crystal: I got cold feet.

Joy: What was it
Crystal: Just everything, uh it all happened so fast, and I just decided that it’s not…

Joy: At your age, 25 and 85 what were you attracted to besides his money? What else?
Uh, well. I was intrigued with the whole Playboy lifestyle. Growing up I would look at Playboy Magazine. I was insecure, so I thought ‘could I ever be that girl? Could I ever be a Playmate?’ I started coming up to the mansion… met Hef, he asked me to move in 2 weeks later. I was flattered. I had fun there.

Elisabeth: When you told him it was off, how did he react?
I told him ‘I don’t think the wedding’s a good idea.’ He actually said he was only doing it for me, so he didn’t really want to get married either.

Whoopi: It sounded more like you had left him at the altar. That is not the case… I’m terribly sorry that I said [anything about it]

What about those people who said you were going to leave him at the altar as a publicity stunt?
No.

Sherri: What kind of dialogue did you have, were you guys able to talk?
Yes we were, Hef’s a great guy, an icon. He’s funny, he’s hilarious. He’s so set in his ways… we had a lot of fun.

Sherri: There was a rumor that you were seeing Dr. Phil’s son Jordan.
That’s not true. Jordan’s one of my friends, he will continue to be one of my friends.

Elisabeth: Are you dating anyone now?
I’m open to it.

On the $90,000 ring and the Bentley she went away with.
I came to the mansion to return the ring. Hef told me I could keep it. The car I paid 1/2 for and he paid the other half [as] a birthday present.

Crystal also claimed that she took her engagement ring, which Hef let her keep, to a friend’s jewelry store to get it appraised for insurance. She said the friend sold her out to TMZ to make it look like she was trying to hock the ring. As for potential plans for a reality show, Crystal claimed “I have no plans of any reality show.” So it sounds like she’s not ruling it out.

When Joy asked Crystal what about Hef attracted her she could have said that he was funny, that she was attracted to his experience and knowledge or that she loved him. Even if she was lying through her teeth, it would have been the expected response. Instead she said she “was intrigued with the whole Playboy lifestyle” and wanted to be a Playmate. This is from the same woman who explained that “this isn’t the lifestyle for me” when she was leaving Hef. So maybe she wasn’t fibbing either way: she wanted the lifestyle then she realized she couldn’t do it. Of course she never wanted an 85 year-old dude as her husband, he was just the vehicle to achieve that lifestyle. Then, when she realized she could do better on her own she ditched the dude and snuck out while he was watching a movie. I shouldn’t be too hard on her, Hef knew what he was getting and he doesn’t have any hard feelings about it. He’s replaced her several times already and there are always plenty more where she came from.

If you’re in the US you can watch the full interview with Crystal on Hulu starting at around 30 minutes in. Here’s a quick news report with clips from CelebTV.

CB and I disagreed as to whether this story was interesting – CB thinks it’s “very 2007” and I think it’s interesting in a “I had a chuckle of schadenfreude with this one” way. For the past few months, Kristin Cavallari, reality “star” also-ran and professional bitch-face, has been trying to get people interested in her engagement to Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler. I’ve seen stories about Kristin and Jay on People and Us Weekly, like they’re genuine celebrities or something. Anyway, bitch got dumped by her fiancé. And even People Magazine is all “Bitch got dumped.” It sucks to be so much of a loser that even People Magazine doesn’t give a crap about making you sound kind of pathetic:

This is not the fairy-tale ending Kristin Cavallari was hoping for. After just 10 months together, Cavallari and Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler have called off their engagement, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

“She got dumped,” says another source. “She’s absolutely devastated. She can’t believe this is happening.”

The couple, who were planning a spring wedding, became engaged in April, when Cutler popped the question in Mexico. They had been spending much of their time recently in Chicago, and Cavallari had planned to move there during the upcoming football season.

“She was planning her dream wedding, the date was set, the location – everything was set,” the source says. “She’s in shock that the dream wedding she was planning is going to end this way.”

Just a week ago, Cavallari Tweeted about her engagement party. “Thx to all my amazing friends for making my engagement party a blast last night!” she wrote.

The couple had completed their wedding registry, and Cavallari was determined to be in great shape for the wedding. Saturday night Cavallari hit The Beverly, an L.A. lounge, and was spotted without her engagement ring.

“She was hanging out at a table with Nicky Hilton and Alessandra Ambrosio,” a source tells PEOPLE. “She was telling friends how they called off the engagement.”

A rep for Cavallari had no comment.

[From People]

Do I feel bad for laughing? Sure. I think Kristin was trying to make people care about her engagement and wedding because she wanted attention, sure, but I do have sympathy for her considering that her mindset was all “happy, happy wedding” and his mindset was all “How can I get out of this?” That sucks, no matter who you are. But isn’t Kristin known as a major bitch? Right? So enjoy it.

UPDATE: Haha, Kristin must have run to People Mag and made them publish a story about Jay being “controlling”. A “source” says: “Jay Cutler was beyond controlling and didn’t really like Kristin to go out. When she did go out, he called all the time and demanded to know exactly where she was going and who she was with.” Um… so? No mention from Team Cavallari about the simple fact that the bitch got dumped.

The friend adds: “He made her choose between him and being friends with a lot of her girlfriends. I’m not surprised it didn’t last.”

When Crystal Harris dumped Hugh Hefner a few days before their June wedding she gave the excuse that she wasn’t the only woman in his life, saying he “doesn’t live a normal lifestyle, there’s women around all the time… I was not the only woman.” Only according to Hef that’s just not true and Crystal was down with other women and more than aware of the situation before they were set to be married. In an interview with Piers Morgan last week, Hef revealed that Crystal “loved the girls,” according to his perspective. He also very carefully suggested she was cheating on him, and expressed regret for letting his last girlfriend, Holly Madison, go.

On Crystal’s statement that she left because of other women
Most of what she has said publicly is not true. And is clearly not what is really going on. And what her reaction was all about. She loved the lifestyle. She loved the girls. So, you know.

On why Crystal left
I think there is at least one other guy in the picture. I think there’s something more we don’t know. And I think that maybe as she got — I think that the career was more important to her than she let on.

Why he was willing to marry her – because he lost his chance with Holly
I think that’s a very valid question. I think quite frankly now, the day after, I’m asking myself the same thing. You know. Where was my head? I did it — I made the commitment, quite frankly, because I felt that I had — in a previous relationship with Holly not been there for her in the way that she wanted me to be.

On if Crystal took him for a ride
I think an argument could be made that she took me for a ride. But I must say, quite frankly, it was a pretty nice ride.

It was 2 1/2 very good years. And if she was faking it, she did it very well. She certainly convinced me that she was — I wouldn’t even kind of play at the possibility of marriage if I didn’t think that she was really, really committed to me. So, you know. If she was fooling, and a good case can be made that she was, she did a very good job.

On how Crystal got the Bentley, the ring and a little cash
Well, she asked for a Bentley right before we split. So she got the car. She got the ring. She didn’t have to get it. You know….

The ring was I would say around $60,000, $70,000. But to her credit, we had a dog. Have a dog. Charlie. And I love the dog. She brought it back. And felt that I missed it more than she did.

On if he gave Crystal cash
A little but not a great deal. Yes. As I say, she would have gotten a good deal more if she’d gotten married.

[From Transcripts.CNN.com]

Hef also revealed that after Crystal told him she didn’t want to get married he said that was fine and they could still stay together. Instead of telling him that she wanted to leave she snuck out with her stuff while he was watching a movie. Hef got choked up retelling this part. He was pretty nice about everything and could have put in a few digs at Crystal but he just kind of told it like it happened.

E! News has more on Crystal and Hef’s “runaway bride” special to air on Lifetime tomorrow, July 19th, which was originally going to be their wedding special. In the preview clip on E! (spoilers I guess, that’s below) Holly and Kendra visit Hef to comfort him after the breakup. He tells Holly “I think I screwed up with us.” From Holly’s body language, I think it’s safe to assume that ship has passed. Holly wouldn’t have ditched Hef at the altar, but she probably would have divorced him after a few years. She wanted children badly and when that didn’t happen for her she left. Plus it’s not like Hef is pining for Holly. He already has two bottle blonde replacement girlfriends, Anna Berglund and Shera Bechard, and showed them both off on CNN.

Holy Mother—! I did NOT see this one coming. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have announced, through a joint statement, that they are “ending their marriage”. This is not a touchy-feely announcement of “separation, but we’re trying to work something out.” This is flat-out “We’re getting a divorce, y’all.” You know what was the signal? Jennifer took her mother to last weekend’s BAFTA event, not Marc. Everybody was like “Oh, her mom probably wanted to meet Waity.” But no, that was the signal.

Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony have called it quits.

The couple just released a statement, claiming, “We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.”

The story was first reported on People.com.

This will be Jennifer’s THIRD divorce — she was first married in 1997 to Ojani Noa, and again in 2001 to her backup dancer Cris Judd. This will be Marc’s second divorce.

The couple got married in 2004 in their Beverly Hills home. They have two children.

Marc and JLo renewed their vows just last year on their 6th anniversary — and back in May, they gave a steamy performance together on the season finale of “American Idol.”

[From TMZ]

Is this depressing to anyone else? I mean, yes, Jennifer is kind of crazy and she’s kind of a diva, but I thought Marc really loved her and that she adored him right back. You know what will be interesting? It will be interesting to hear if one of them was screwing around, first of all, and second of all, it will be interesting to see how the money stuff plays out. You know Marc has big tax problems, right? Oh, it’s going to get good.

Sara Gilbert, 36, has been with her partner, producer/writer Alison Adler, 44, since 2002 and they have two children together: son Levi, six, and daughter Sawyer, who turns three next month. They each gave birth to one of their children: Levi is Alison’s biological child and Sawyer is Sara’s daughter. According to the National Enquirer, these two have sadly broken up due in part to busy work schedules. (I know it’s the Enquirer, but they usually get these stories about lesser celebrities right.) That means that things could get complicated working out custody, since each of their children has just one of them as their biological mother. I can’t figure out if their children have the same biological father, but that probably doesn’t matter at all in this case.

Sara Gilbert and her longtime partner, writer-producer Allison Adler, are splitting due to the demands of their thriving careers, sources say.

“Sara and Ali got so consumed with their work that their relationship crumbled,” and insider told the Enquirer.

“They have two children and were incredibly happy, but their careers got in the way. Ali was just hired as a writer and co-executive producer on the Fox show ‘Glee,’ while all of Sara’s time is taken up by ‘The Talk.’

“They don’t want to split the kids up, bu it’s an unusual situation because each of them is a biological mom,” explained the source. “They’re trying to work out a schedule to share custody.”

Besides their work issues, Ali was also said to be uncomfortable about Sara sharing details of their lives on “The Talk.”

“Neither of them was really in the closet about their sexual orientation, but Ali didn’t care for the fact that their private life was being gabbed about on national TV,” noted the source.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, July 21, 2011]

I did find a picture of Sara out with who I think must be Alison on 7/2/11. (In the photos with just the two of them.) It looks like she’s the same woman in the photo with their kids (that’s from March, 2010) and she’s wearing the same glasses and everything. So maybe their split came up suddenly, or maybe they’re still together. Those of you who watch “The Talk” might be able to let us know if Sara has talked about her home life much lately.

If this is true hopefully they’ll be able to work it out so their kids can still spend time together. I don’t think they legally have any obligation to do that, and it’s got to be hard on the kids.

The last time we ran a story on Owen Wilson dumping his baby’s mother I had to close out the comments because a lot of “insiders” were commenting to defend Owen against his new baby’s mother, Jade Duell. We had some comments from a person using four different names to speak out for Owen, and I did a little detective work and doubt that person is anything more than a rabid fan. That person and other commenters did have a point, though. We heard advance stories of paternity drama concerning the baby, and it’s possible that the baby ended up not being Owen’s and that’s why he broke up with the mother and skipped the infant’s christening in New York. Another insider, who was verifiably commenting from Virginia (where Jade has lived in the past) defended Jade and wrote that “SHE left him. She is doing all the work and he is still very depressed and sleeps until 3 pm many days. Don’t assume that since he is an actor that he must have left her. Dint forget she was an Air Marshall and a strong, self sufficient person who won’t put up with his BS.”

So there was a lot of back and forth in the comments on Owen and whatever went on in his now-over relationship with his six month old son’s mother. In Touch has a follow up to that Enquirer story with the detail that Owen is drinking a lot and seems to be depressed again. Given his history of a suicide attempt, friends are said to be worried. In Touch doesn’t seem to have much insider information, just that Owen has been out getting drunk at bars.

Because of apparent commitment issues, Owen, 42, and Jade have split – and sources say he’s been spending a lot of his free time drowning his sorrows in alcohol ever since. Spotted at [a bar] in Venice, CA, on June 10, a witness says, “Owen seemed really drunk. He was slurring his words and kept introducing himself to some girls he met over and over. They felt bad for him.” In fact, a regular says Owen has been getting “Wasted” there frequently. “He’s here a lot, just sitting at the bar drinking,” says the regualr. “He usually gets drunk. It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is.” His family is worried about his behavior. “He looks like a wreck,” adds a friend.

[From In Touch, print edition, July 11, 2011]

Whatever is going on with Owen, that’s sad that he’s out getting wasted like that so much. In Touch has the name of the bar, I just took it out above, so it’s probably accurate. He’s got millions in the bank and a lot of free time to fill now that his house is empty except for the servants and groupies. At least he’s not drinking and driving from what we know. I shouldn’t be so bitchy, I like Owen and hope he keeps it together.

I haven’t really followed David Duchovny in a while, and the state of his marriage kind of confused me. According to reports, David and his wife Tea Leoni split up in 2008 after Tea caught (“caught”) David screwing around. David claimed he was a sex addict (sure) and he went into “rehab”. After the “rehab” cured him of his sex addiction, Tea and David seemed to reunite and there were occasional paparazzi shots of the two of them, or David and Tea with their kids, Madelaine West, 12, and Kyd, 9.

Anyway, last night the couple’s rep confirmed that David and Tea are “taking time apart” again. They’re separating, but there’s no word on whether they will divorce, or perhaps get back together again once David complete another rehab stay for his sex addiction. TMZ’s sources say that they don’t even know if they’re finally going to end it this time. Isn’t it fait accompli that David continued to screw around on Tea? You know what’s really surprising, though? You rarely hear about his other women. Either David goes with pros, or he goes with very discreet women.

So, is this sad news? Sure, it totally is. I think Tea really loves David, and that’s why she sticks around despite his blatant philandering. I think she wants their kids to have a family with mom and a dad who stick it out. But I also think that David has issues. I’ve always been ambivalent about the “sex addiction” excuse because I think men use it as an easy “out” for screwing around. I don’t know if David is addicted to sex… but I don’t think he’s going to stop philandering any time soon.

Owen Wilson usually manages to stay under the gossip radar, but we’ve still heard that he’s been out partying a lot despite the fact that he has a newborn at home. Owen’s now ex girlfriend, former air marshall Jade Duell, 28, gave birth to their son Robert Ford Wilson in early January. Owen said in an appearance on the Today Show in February that he would call him “Ford” and joked that he wasn’t getting much sleep due to the baby. Well he doesn’t have that issue anymore if this story is accurate. Jade and little Ford reportedly moved out and are now staying to New York. Owen was invited to the baby’s christening in New York on June 12, but he bailed at the last minute and missed his scheduled flight. That’s kind of sad.

Owen Wilson is on the verge of a breakdown after dumping his baby mama.

The “Wedding Crashers” star refused to commit to girlfriend Jade Duell and plunged into a downward spiral after she moved to New York with their infant son, sources say.

“Poor Owen is a mess,” a family friend told The Enquirer. “He cries all day and blames himself for ruining his life again. He loves his son Robert more than anything, and he’s kicking himself for not giving his relationship with Jade enough time…

“The baby was the best thing that ever happened to Owen,” noted the source…

“Owen wanted the freedom to do what he wanted with his friends, both male and female, while remaining a family unit with Jade and the baby,” said the source.

“But Jade wasn’t willing to go along with that, so Owen decided to end things with her instead of cheating behind her back.”

Jade and the baby moved out of Owen’s home and flew to New York to be with her family, added the source.

Despite the split, she invited Owen to their son’s christening in New York on June 12, said the source. But he apparently backed out at the last minute…

“He left the airport and drove around Santa Monica for hours. Now he’s holed up in his beach house and walking around like a zombie.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, July 7, 2011]

I hope the Enquirer’s take on this is totally wrong. I don’t want to think Owen is a mess or that he’s a suicide risk again. I’d rather hear that he’s partying and wants to be single without any complications, because it sounds like that’s what got him here in the first place. He can’t have it both ways. He seems perfectly happy to ditch his girlfriend and kid, but then he’ll also have to live with the fact that he won’t get to see the boy grow up. He’s rich and has a flexible schedule though. If he wants to be around little Ford he can probably make that choice too. He doesn’t have to be in a relationship if he doesn’t want to.

The Daily Mail has a photo of Owen and Jade together.

Here’s Owen at the Cars 2 premiere on 6/18/11. Bedhead is going to see this today for Pajiba and I’ll surely see it with my kid soon. I loved the last one! He’s also shown in Cannes on 5/11/11 for Midnight in Paris. Credit: WENN.com
