The National Enquirer has an exclusive story that Jodie Foster’s 14 year relationship with Cydney Bernard ended after Jodie started cheating with a woman she met on a movie set last year. Jodie and Cydney have two children together, sons aged 6 and 9, and they’re still living together at this point, but Jodie is about to move out:

Jodie Foster cheated on her lesbian partner of 14 years with a younger, prettier woman who is now her new girlfriend!

The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively that the Oscar winner’s new love is brunette Cindy Mort, a producer and screenwriter she met on the set of her 2007 film The Brave One.

The 47-year-old star’s new squeeze is the former partner of thirtysomething actress Melanie Mahron — with whom she has two children!

Meanwhile, 55-year-old Cydney Bernard is still living with Jodie but their romance is over, say sources.

Jodie has never publicly identified the father of her 6- and 9-year-old sons, Charles and Kit.

” Although she and Cydney remain under the same roof at the moment,” a close pal told The ENQUIRER, “the relationship has been shattered.”

This is the second 14 year relationship that was publicly pronounced over this week due to cheating with a co-worker.

People Magazine has more details of the Shania Twain split, probably leaked by Shania’s camp, and Shania says that the secretary her husband cheated on her with was “one of her best friends,” and that “their two families would vacation and spend holidays together.” Can you imagine?

Hopefully the woman Jodie Foster cheated on her longterm partner with wasn’t someone they knew together, but that must not soften the blow for Cydney. Maybe this story is inaccurate though and they were already separated but living together when Jodie met someone else. It doesn’t sound like that’s the case, but you never know what’s going on in someone else’s home. Right now we’re relying on tabloid reports, and no one is likely to confirm or deny anything. Jodie only acknowledged she even had a partner about five months ago.

Usually, when a Hollywood couple breaks up, there is a certain sense of “I told you so,” which was the case with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey; Jessica Simpson and John Mayer; Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo…you get the idea. But sometimes Hollywood couple break-up stories are just sad. Liv Tyler’s recent news falls in that category, as does the latest buzz regarding actress Jodie Foster and her longtime partner, Cydney Bernard.

Actress Jodie Foster has reportedly split from her long-time girlfriend Cydney Bernard.

Rumors of Foster’s 14-year relationship with the film producer, 54, had only recently become widespread, although those in Foster’s close Hollywood circle have reportedly known for years.

Lately, the Panic Room star has been more open about her love, reportedly telling a crowd of Hollywood stars in a speech of her domestic situation in December.

And at an awards ceremony, the 45-year-old actress thanked her mate: “My beautiful Cydney, who sticks by me through all the rotten and the bliss.”

But however public or private the relationship, the National Enquirer reports the two have called it quits. The two have acted as parents to Foster’s two children: Charlie, 9, and Kit, 6.

I really hope it’s not true, but we may never know for sure, since Jodie is fiercely private about her relationship with Cydney. If she never went public with the relationship, it’s doubtful that she’ll comment on its demise. Only a couple of weeks ago there were photos of Jodie and Cydney on vacation with their kids in Hawaii, splashing in the surf and looking very happy.

If you have children, you were probably subjected to Nickelodeon’s 25th Annual Kid’s Choice Awards ceremony on Saturday night. You have my sincerest condolences. I, too, had to watch, and it was often eyeroll-inducing: lame banter between celebrity presenters; boring and unfunny “behind the scenes” skits; stupid slime stunts that dragged out the show even longer and wayyyy too much Disney product, in the form of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. Miley Cyrus won favorite female television star and favorite female musical artist, much to my daughter’s delight.

There were a few bright spots in the broadcast, including host Jack Black’s over-the-top opening musical number, in which he wore a bright green superhero costume and rocked out with a giant octopus playing guitar to the Kiss song “I Was Made for Loving You,” with the lyrics changed to “I Was Made for Sliming You.” (In my opinion, Black was the only funny, high-energy part of the show and should have been allowed to riff and get crazy even more.) The theme of each Kids’ Choice Awards, you see, is that celebs and kids in the audience get buckets of green slime poured on their heads at random moments. Slimed celebs included Harrison Ford, who recreated a famous scene from “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” which concluded with him being covered in green slime. Other mildly amusing segments included a celebrity belching contest that featured Jodie Foster attempting to burp along to the song “YMCA.”

All in all, the show had the same problems as most other awards shows: it went on too long, there was too much unfunny dialog, and the host didn’t get enough chances to do what he does best. But if you are at all interested in the winners, here they are.

If anything, the Kids’ Choice Awards gives parents a glimpse into the music, movies, and other pop culture their kids like– which should scare the crap out of you. I know I had a hard time sleeping knowing that the youth of America wants to be just like Cameron Diaz.

What is it about actress Jodie Foster that attracts crazy dudes? First, young Jodie was the object of unnatural obsession by John Hinkley Jr., who, in 1981, was so desperate to prove his love for her, he launched a very nearly successful plan to assassinate President Reagan. Now, a man by the name of Michael Smegal, from Holliston, Massachusetts, has been arrested for sending threatening letters to various airports, including the Van Nuys, California airport. Turns out that Smegal has been stalking Foster for years and has sent her strange and disturbing letters and packages in the past. What gives?

BOSTON - A man who sent Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster threatening letters for several years was arrested Tuesday on charges of mailing a bomb threat to a suburban Los Angeles airport.

Michael Smegal, 42, of Holliston, Massachusetts, was charged in US District Court in Massachusetts with mailing a threatening letter to Van Nuys Airport in early December.

The letter was one of more than 100 nearly identical letters with references to Foster mailed to celebrities, business executives, airports and other locations around Los Angeles from September 2007 to January 2008, an affidavit said.

Foster, who Academy Awards for playing a rape victim in 1988’s ‘The Accused’ and an FBI agent in 1991’s ‘The Silence of the Lambs,’ received anonymous letters from Massachusetts beginning in 2004. In 2005, Smegal admitted to police he had sent the letters and promised to stop, the affidavit said.

If convicted, Smegal faces up to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.

I just keep picturing Smegal from “Lord of the Rings.” I imagine this guy all naked and gnarly with stringy hair, rasping, “My precioussssss,” while mailing letters to Jodie Foster. If I were Jodie, that would keep my awake at night. I feel badly for Jodie. She’s a great actress, and seems very down to earth and a great mom. Yet, she’s a freak magnet. I kinda know how she feels– I seem to attract guys with mommy issues and bad credit.

Jodie Foster has long been silent on her sexual orientation. It didn’t seem to bother people until the last couple of years, when there has been an intense scrutiny placed on the sexual orientation of stars. It seems that the people who won’t talk about their orientation get a lot more press than those that come out. The attention paid to Foster’s orientation seemed to swell when she got pregnant with her son Charles ten years ago but refused to talk about the father or the conception. People talked a bit before then, but that seemed to be when it really became water cooler conversation. Foster has steadfastly refused to talk about her private life. However it’s long been assumed that her friend Cydney Bernard is also her lover. And after fourteen years together, it seems Foster may have finally acknowledged Bernard… in a way.

Jodie Foster has finally come out as a lesbian to pay tribute to her girlfriend of 14 years… after winning an award at a Women in Entertainment breakfast, she broke her taboo to thank “my beautiful Cydney”. Her emotional speech brought tears to the eyes of some of her audience at the Beverly Hills Hotel, revealing a vulnerable side to a star who has long resisted calls from gay rights activists to clarify her personal life. Miss Foster, 44, a double Oscar winner, praised her film producer partner Cydney Bernard “who sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss”.

Accepting the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, she offered an insight into the insecurities that haunt her. “I feel fragile, unsure, struggling to figure it all out, trying to get there even though I’m not sure where there is,” she said.

Last night Kathy Belge, of the website Lesbian Life, said: “I never thought I’d see this day. Perhaps it was because her children are getting older and she didn’t want them to think there was anything wrong with being gay. Perhaps she was simply sick and tired of life in the closet. Whatever her reasons, we are pleased that Jodie found the courage to be true to herself.”

I’m a big believer in people’s right to choose how/when/if they disclose their sexual orientation. If Jodie wants to keep it to herself, that’s her business. The only way in which that would bother me is if she felt she HAD to keep it a secret, whether for her career, for her audience, or because she felt ashamed. Though I’m not necessarily her biggest fan, Sharon Osbourne once gave a speech at a gay pride event and talked about her kids’ attributes. She noted, “My only regret is that none of my children are gay.” And while she was trying to be funny, she wasn’t being sarcastic. I liked the attitude that being gay wasn’t just something to deal with, but just another one of a person’s many attributes. I hope that if Jodie Foster ever wants to come out completely, she will. She’s well respected not just as an actress but as a person, and could do a lot of good.

Dina Lohan saddens me. Sometimes at night when I lay in bed, unable to sleep, I think about her and how crazy and delusional, and my life seems a lot better in comparison. A LOT of people (probably in the low billions) have blamed Lindsay Lohan’s problems on her mom. If nothing else, she blurred the lines between child and parent in a way that seems to have really messed Lindsay up. But based on most of the stories we’ve read and the pictures we’ve seen, it seems that Dina really encouraged Lindsay’s hard partying lifestyle – for her own gain. Whenever Lindsay’s pathetic state of debauchery is brought up with other celebrities, they always bring up Dina Lohan. I’m pretty sure a press release must have gone out to all of Hollywood, instructing all celebrities to comment on her stupidity. Jodie Foster mentioned Dina in an interview – nothing new or surprising in and of itself. But of course Dina can’t keep quiet and has to fire back, in her written-by-Opera-and-or-a-therapist style that makes me want to slap her.

“In response to Jodie Foster’s question in a Gotham magazine interview, ‘Can I just ask, where is [Lindsay Lohan’s] mother? I mean, really, where is her mother?’ Dina answers: I’m right here, waiting to be called out so I can contact a gossip website and fight back. Lohan tells 24Sizzler.com about Foster’s remarks:

“‘It really saddens me that a mom would comment on another mom without ever meeting me! Ironically Lindsay’s talent was compared to Jodie Foster’s as a little girl! I don’t know what Jodie dealt with as a young Hollywood actress but I do know if it weren’t for her mother she would not be a successful actress today! I’m sure her mother made many sacrifices for her to be successful.

“All we want as parents is to cultivate our children’s dreams, whatever field they choose. She has no idea who we are and what we have dealt with! If she has a question to ask me, don’t ridicule me publicly! She should know how the press twists the truth! Don’t judge without facts!”

[From Us Magazine]

When you make your life - and your daughter - so ridiculously public, people will judge without meeting you. Each person who writes about you doesn’t need to have sat don for a heart to heart to realize you’re a moron who’s whored her daughter out in some pathetic attempt to grab a little bit of fame for yourself. Well, now you have it. Dina Lohan seems to really think she has some sort of moral high ground over the rest of the world. You know how annoying it is when people say they don’t have the problem, it’s the rest of the world that has it? That’s pretty much Dina Lohan’s mentality. “Hey, I don’t have the problem for doing coke with my daughter, the rest of the world has the problem for judging me without meeting me!” Dina Lohan, you’re the problem. You’re completely delusional. Feel free to send your retort to all the blogs now.

“Inside Man” starring Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Clive Owen premiered last night in NY. The film is an action movie featuring Washington as cop negotiating with a bank robber who has taken hostages:

Initial reviews are positive despite the familiar plot, and with such a talented cast it should be a great film.

Foster, Owen, and Washington attended last night’s premiere. Other celebrities pictured include featured stars Willem Dafoe, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Darryl Mitchell, and Kim Director. Well known names in attendance were Wesley Snipes, Jill Hennessy, Mariska Hargitay, Lynn Whitfield, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and Russell Simmons - without his annoying wife.
