In what reads like a cautionary tale from one of those romcoms that made her famous (it seems most of the stars of He’s Just Not That Into You didn’t learn much from it, except maybe Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Connelly) Drew Barrymore’s new boyfriend is allegedly getting scared off by her talk of marriage and babies after they’ve been dating just three months. Drew’s boyfriend, an “art consultant” named Will Kopelmann who comes from money, was described as a “playboy” back when the news broke that they were dating. That hasn’t changed and he’s supposedly ready to bolt now that Drew is getting so serious.

Sources say Drew’s boyfriend, Los Angelees art consultant Will Kopelmann, is looking to make a clean getaway from the man-crazy actress after just three months of dating.

Why? She scared him off with talk of a quickie marriage…and babies!

The former wild child hooked up with Will, 33, in February and has already been telling pals that she’s found her soul mate. But insiders say Will is a playboy at heart and is not ready to settle down.

“Drew went from Zero to 60 overnight and quickly smothered Will,” continued the source. “Within weeks of hooking up, she overwhelmed him with talks of a wedding and kids and insisted he move into her Los Angeles home.

“Now, Will is getting scared off.”

Drew, 36, is starting to feel her biological clock tick, explains the source.

“She sees friends like Kate Hudson and Cameron Diaz in love and settling down and it triggered a change in the usually free-spirited Drew. But Will went into this romance only looking for a fun hookup.”

Drew has been married twice, in 1994 to Jeremy Thomas and in 2001 to Tom Greene. I could have sworn she was married more times than that, but I guess engagements don’t count. She’s 36 now and it’s understandable if she hears her biological clock ticking. Drew has her career nailed down, she’s one of the richest women in Hollywood. Check out her new house. I’m hoping this isn’t true though, and that she’s the one who’s nonchalant about the relationship. You know that Drew falls hard and fast though.

Am I the only one who consistently feels sorry for Josh Kelley? Like, whenever Katherine Heigl opens her big bitchy mouth, I think “Poor Josh.” Whenever I see photos of Heigl’s latest fashion and/or hair disaster, I think “Poor Josh.” And when I read this latest story – about Katherine and her BFF mom – I thought “Seriously, poor Josh.” You see, Katherine is a mother-lover. There’s nothing wrong with it, per se. I’m really close to my mom too, and we go shopping together and gossip and go to movies. Katherine has a similar relationship with her mom – only she takes to the next level, and it’s getting kind of creepy. It’s not just that Katherine’s mom Nancy is her BFF – Nancy is also Heigl’s manager and producing partner. And Nancy also lives a few seconds away from Josh and Katherine’s house. And Nancy spends the night at their house all the time. And Nancy won’t ever let her daughter and her husband be alone, EVER.

Katherine Heigl’s meddling mom is wrecking her marriage! Heigl’s husband Josh Kelley has complained that Heigl’s mom Nancy spends so much time at their LA home that it’s ruining their love life, sources say.

“Josh is a patient guy, but he’s fed up playing second fiddle to his mother-in-law,” an insider divulged. “Nancy lives around the corner from Katherine and Josh in her own place, but she spends so much time at their home that she may as well move in. She often stays overnight and knocks on their door pretty much every day she’s in town.”

Nancy even vacations with the couple, and Josh claims it’s hurting their romantic life, the source said.

“Josh told Katherine that they need more quality time together – without her mother,” says the insider. “He demanded Katherine spend more time with him and less with Nancy – period. He loves his mother-in-law, but this is a real problem for him and it’s becoming a major issue in their marriage.”

To make matters worse, Nancy is also her daughter’s manager, and has produced two of Heigl’s films.

“Katherine and Nancy aren’t just mom and daughter, or even best friends for that matter. They’re business partners who live and breathe every aspect of each other’s lives.”

The mother and daughter are so close they even got matching haircuts!

“It’s all too much for Josh… he’s become increasingly irritated by Nancy’s influence. Josh feels as if he’s married two women – Katherine and her mom.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition]

I think it’s probably a particularly touchy subject considering that Katherine and Nancy don’t have even a typically tight mother-daughter relationship/friendship. They’re business partners, and Nancy has a vested interest in Katherine financially. I’ve felt for a long time that Katherine and Nancy need to part ways professionally – Nancy is not helping Katherine’s career, at all. Heigl needs a team of professionals, she needs to be represented by someone who has the balls to tell her to STFU and BE a professional. Nancy is obviously not doing that.

But… I doubt Nancy and Katherine are going to part financially any time soon, so in the meantime, POOR JOSH.

Kaiser’s going to love this story, and I hope she doesn’t shank me for taking it. US Weekly, aka The Bos’ publicist via US Weekly, is claiming that Kate Bosworth and Alex Skarsgard have “hit a rough patch” and that “things are not going well” between them. I think this is code for “he dumped her and she’s waiting until she has something to promote before she makes the announcement that it was mutual.” We’ve heard plenty of split rumors for these two before. I suspect they have an on-off relationship in that Skarsgard tries to get out of it, Bos throws herself at him, makes announcements about it to the press and spreads engagement rumors.

There are True signs of trouble for Kate Bosworth, 28, and Alexander Skarsgard, 34. “They’ve hit a rough path,” a source says of the couple, who split in September 2010 and reunited one month later. “They’ve been fighting a lot about stupid stuff. They are still together, but I don’t think for much longer.” (In fact, at a West Hollywood party in February, she told Skarsgard’s dad, “I love him!”) The pair hardly looked harmonious during a March 10 Nylon dinner with her folks at Hemingway’s Lounge in L.A. Bosworth, who stars in the upcoming Another Happy Day, and the brooding True Blood hunk “barely spoke the entire night – he just kept talking to her parents and other people,” says a witness. “You could feel the tension.” Seconds the source, “Things are not going well.”

[From US Weekly, print edition, April 4, 2011]

Bosworth is really pushing this one hard – she’s taking Skars out to dinner with her parents, and is gushing about how much she loves him to his dad. Meanwhile he’s been keeping one foot out the door and has probably already bolted. I bet she’s hoping to stage a “let’s talk” lunch for sometime in the next month. She’ll call her pap friends to document that outing, and will delay the breakup news until her next movie is out. There’s no release date for that Another Happy Day movie, so I bet it will only be in limited release anyway. She also stars in a thriller with Skarsgard, Straw Dogs, that’s out in September. If we hear about their breakup right before it comes out I’ll have to give Bos props for playing the hand she’s been dealt as well as she can.

Sometimes, I’ll have very strong feelings about some minor, relatively innocuous celebrity. Patrick Dempsey is one of those people – I could not care less about his career, whether it’s Grey’s Anatomy or the movie work he gets (for some inexplicable reason, because he’s not a good actor). I just can’t stand him. I wouldn’t describe it an “irrational hatred” – it’s more like a gut-reaction to what I perceive as his smarmy too-wholesome act. I just don’t buy that he’s a nice guy with a nice wife and a nice family. My gut has always said that there’s something “off” about him, and there’s definitely something “off” with his wife and with their marriage. Just my opinion! Or my gut, whatever.

So… this new report from Star Magazine has my gut nodding in agreement. According to Star’s sources, Patrick’s 11-year marriage is in trouble because instead of going home and spending time with his wife and kids, he trolls the gym for strange, and then hits up a bar called Swingers (seriously) without his wedding ring. Sounds about right, said my gut.

Call a marriage counselor – stat! Grey’s Anatomy hot doc Patrick Dempsey’s 11-year-union with makeup artist Jill Fink, 45, is ailing as the pair, who have three children together, are spending more and more time apart.

“Patrick has so much going on and likes to take time for himself,” says a source. “Sometimes Jillian feels like she’s stuck at home with the kids.”

So she has asked him to compromise by quitting his membership at Easton Gym in Hollywood.

“He’ll go there and start chatting with people, especially the cute girls on staff, and stay for hours,” says a source. “Then he hangs out at the diner Swingers across the street with his pals.”

What’s more, Patrick has taken to sleeping in a guest room on occasion – and even hitting the town without his wedding ring.

“Patrick brushes off concerns about problems at home and does what he wants,” says the source. “But many people in his circle think something is not right.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Yeah, she should definitely ask him to rethink the “gym membership”. That part reminded of the stories about John Travolta and his spa dong. What is it about A-list LA gyms, for the love of God? Anyway, if I was married to him (gross, my gut says), I would also ask him to give up his little car-racing hobby too. There’s something odd about a 40-something man who still gets his rocks off by racing cars. And yes, I know Paul Newman did it too. I don’t care. I think it’s a stupid, expensive and tacky “hobby” for middle-aged men with families. Just buy a Porsche and bone it in the privacy of your own garage, for the love of God.

The photos of Patrick and Jill are from this past weekend, by the way. My body-language-reading skills say that Jill is sticking around for now, but that she’s got her eye on him.

This week’s US Weekly has a little blurb about Owen Wilson’s recent carousing that makes you wonder if everything is ok at home with his girlfriend and new baby. Owen welcomed son Robert Ford Wilson on January 10, along with his girlfriend, former air marshall Jade Duell, 28. There were stories in the tabloids about Owen’s baby potentially not being his, but most people assume that Wilson confirmed paternity once the baby was born.

In an appearance on the Tonight Show less than a month ago, Owen said he wasn’t getting much sleep due to his newborn son at home and that he was so tired he scoped out potential spots to take a nap wherever he went. He talked at length about his baby boy and seemed so proud to be a new dad. If this latest report is to be believed, things have changed quite a bit at the Wilson household. US Weekly reports that he was spotted out two nights in a row chatting with hot women at a bar until after midnight.

Just seven weeks after welcoming son Ford with gal pal Jade Duell, 28, Owen Wilson spent the night of March 4 carousing with women at the One Hundred Nights longue in Vancouver’s Opus Hotel. The actor, who was drinking, chatted up attractive blondes – and the good times didn’t end there.

At midnight, Wilson, 42, and a bunch of ladies piled into a limo. The next night, he did it all over again. “Only this time,” a source tells Hot Stuff [US Weekly], “they left at 1 A.M. instead of 12!”

[From US Weekly, print edition, March 28, 2011]

This sounds like Owen was alone, and that he was there just to talk to and pick up women. It’s not like it was a friend’s birthday or bachelor party or something that would explain why he was there, and he did it two nights in a row. Owen may love being a dad but he definitely seems to miss being single without responsibilities.

I should give him somewhat of a break, though, as he probably needed to be in Vancouver for business and was necessarily away from his wife and kid. Did he need to go out to a bar at night and flirt with a bunch of women too?

Poor Natalie Portman. Poor Ballet K-Fed. They didn’t even get to bask in the glow of their dual Oscar win (right?!) without Mike Huckabee coming along and pissing all over it. Us Weekly reports that Natalie and Benjamin did get a little post-Oscar “babymoon” (a holiday before the baby comes) to Napa Valley wine country. According to Us Weekly’s witness, “They were really low-key… she was in sweats, and Natalie let a busboy feel her baby bump.” So, it sounds like all is well in ballet-and-Oscar heaven? Not so fast! In Touch Weekly reports that Natalie and Ben have been fighting over where they’re going to live once the baby comes:

The post-Oscar honeymoon is over! There’s new tension between pregnant Natalie Portman and her fiancé, Benjamin Millepied.

“His career – ballet, directing and acting – is really starting to take off and he needs to be in new York and LA for a few years to work,” an insider tells In Touch.

Natalie wants to put her career on the back burner to focus on motherhood and their family: “She told Benjamin that she doesn’t want to raise their child around the film industry and that she wants to move out of the country to Paris,” says the insider.

But Benjamin recently told Details that he knows he needs to strike while the iron is hot, noting there “are a couple of things” he hopes to shop to Broadway producers. Adds the insider, “Benjamin wants to stay in New York because he’s in more demand than ever!”

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

Eh. I’ll buy that Benjamin is pushing to be in New York and LA, but I won’t buy that Natalie is pushing to move to France. She’s almost always lived in New York, hasn’t she? She’s a New York girl, and my bet is that she’s probably made up her mind to raise the baby there. Now, I will totally buy that Benjamin has a million different projects that he’s signed on for since his profile got significantly raised by impregnating Natalie Portman, and that those projects will take him all over the place. And that’s what I think they’re fighting over. That, and how he’s a “director” now.

Popeater’s Rob Shulter has supposed insider knowledge of some trouble in Kelsey Grammer’s very new very quick marriage to 29 year-old British former flight attendant, Kayte Walsh. According to Shulter, the two are disagreeing about where to live, with Kayte hoping to stay in New York and Kelsey planning to move back to Los Angeles to work on a project and be closer to his kids. (Probably in that order.) Kayte is likely to suck it up and do whatever her new sugar daddy wants, but it’s an indicator that their marriage is already showing cracks after a whole two weeks.

Kelsey Grammer and his fourth wife, Kayte Walsh, have only been married a couple of weeks and already the new Mrs. Grammer is starting to understand that being married to Kelsey isn’t as easy as you might think. Sources close to the pair tell me they’ve already stumbled upon their first rift — and it involves about 2,800 miles and an ex-wife.

“Kelsey wants to move back to LA to be near his daughters and start working on a new TV project with Starz,” an insider tells me. “But Kayte would rather stay in New York where she has close friends and is far, far away from [his ex-wife] Camille.”

The ‘Frazier’ star will win in the end, friends say, but the disagreement so early on “should be a warning of what is to come.”

The May-December couple (he’s 55, she’s 29) have been laying pretty low since their Feb. 25 wedding, which came just two weeks after he finalized his divorce from his wife of 13 years, Camille, 42. But on Friday, the pair emerged looking happy as can be as they rambled around midtown New York and Central Park. In many of the pics, Kelsey obliged snappers by laying a few kisses on his bride.

Maybe Kelsey will look at these photos of a beautiful day in NYC and change his mind about heading back to Los Angeles and the realities of living near an ex-wife? Not likely.

“Kelsey has an enormous ego and definitely likes being the boss,” my source tells me. “Everything goes great when your answers is ‘yes’ to him.” And right now, he’s saying “yes” to being near his young kids with Camille, 9-year-old Mason and 6-year-old Jude.

It’s been a drama-filled first chapter in the story of Kelsey and Kayte, who became pregnant but lost the baby while the actor was still very married to Camille, now a star of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ Kelsey announced he was engaged to Kayte and said, “We are in love and see no reason to postpone our happiness any longer.”

[From Popeater]

You know that Camille is Shuter’s source and she’s repeating some gossip she overheard from the nanny. Camille has been interviewed by Shuter a few weeks ago and she probably has him on speed dial.

I disagree with the claim that these two have been keeping a low profile since their wedding. Those kissing photos are just as staged as their vacation photos. I also doubt that Kayte and Kelsey will be breaking up anytime soon. Kayte has her career path mapped out for her, and it involves about ten years by Kelsey’s side, followed by a divorce when Kelsey inevitably stops idealizing her and replaces her with a younger model. By that point she’ll be a very wealthy, spoiled, botoxed, up-her-ass woman. It remains to be seen whether she’ll be a NY or an LA wife and it matters little.

Shortly after Hilary Swank split from Chad Lowe, she started up with her married agent, John Campisi. John swiftly got a divorce, and his relationship with Hilary is now five years old. Hilary gets along with his son from his previous marriage, to the point where Hilary gives interviews about how much she loves the kid, and how she walks around naked around him. She also plays a little fast and loose with the whole thing about John being married when they got together – she’s still selling herself as a nice girl who believes in “the sanctity of marriage”. Anyway, the Enquirer has an interesting report about what they say is her struggling relationship with Campisi:

Hilary Swank’s five-year romance with agent-turned-lover John Campisi has hit the rocks – because she’s STILL not ready to tie the knot! The Enquirer has learned that Swank has grown weary of her boyfriend’s controlling nature… and that’s the real reason she’s hesitant to say “I do.” Plus, she still smarting over her painful divorce from Chad Lowe, says a close source.

“Hilary and John are at an all-time low point right now,” divulged one source. “To put it bluntly, the spark between them is gone. They’re bickering, and it’s hard to remember the last time either of them looked truly happy.”

According to the insider, Hilary has been grappling with John’s increasing need to control their lives and his constant pressure to get married.

“As much as Hilary respects marriage, she now sees legal commitment as unnecessary in terms of happiness and personal fulfillment… I think eventually she may have been talked into it if John had stopped pressuring her so strongly. But he’s turned her off getting married – at least for the time being – by ramming the idea down her throat, day in and day out.”

One of the issues bothering Hilary is that John, who is one of her agents, is micromanaging her career, says the source.

“She knows John has her best interests at heart, but sometimes she finds him so suffocating, and it’s hard for her to separate work from her personal life. They need to give each other space is they’re to have any chance of turning their romance around and having a future together.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition]

And that’s why I think it would be really difficult to get serious with someone who technically works for you in some sort of managerial position – it feels like you’re being ordered around. It feels like your partner is micromanaging. It would suck. It makes me wonder how Reese Witherspoon and her guy are managing – although I don’t think her guy is technically part of her management team, so maybe that’s how they make it work.

I also wonder if Hilary isn’t too enthusiastic about marrying John because of the way they got together – Hilary had barely just gotten out of her marriage to Chad Lowe, and John still had a wife. That being said, I just don’t think Hilary is the kind of woman who gets ordered around by her boyfriend. I just don’t believe that’s her dynamic with anyone.

Earlier this month, The Enquirer and Star Magazine began questioning the state of Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mazvinsky’s six-month-old marriage. Marc had quit his job in New York, and it seems that he was spending his new “free time” skiing in Wyoming while is wife stayed in New York. Words like “crisis” and “annulment” were thrown around in the tabloid reporting, and shortly after the stories broke, Marc was back in New York, attending glitzy event with Chelsea. But… the tabloids still smell blood in the water. This week’s National Enquirer reports that members of Marc’s family are “concerned” that he’s headed for some kind of psychological breakdown.

Chelsea Clinton’s husband is headed to a mental hospital, friends fear, as a bitter feud between their families adds more fuel to their ongoing marriage woes. Chelsea is desperately trying to keep the problems out of the public eye by smiling for the cameras as she parades her husband Marc around New York. But Marc is not the same person ever since he high-tailed it back to Chelsea’s side.

In an exclusive interview two weeks ago, Marc’s first cousin Andrea Mezvinsky talked about him “undergoing a crisis” and revealed family members were deeply concerned that he was cracking up.

Sources say Marc has been deepluy troubled that the Clinton clan encouraged him to break ties with her father, former Iowa congressman and convicted felon Ed Mezvinsky – and that he seems headed for a breakdown that they believe will land him in a psychiatric ward. The sources added that Marc’s dad, not out of jail, blames Bill and Hillary for his son’s problems.

“The things that have happened to Ed since this whole Clinton situation took place are unthinkable! He’s been treated ina disgusting way by everybody involved, and he’s very upset,” Margot Mezvinsky, Ed’s daughter from his first marriage and Marc’s half-sister, tells the Enquirer.

Marc allegedly flew to Wyoming after a knock-down fight with Chelsea, all about starting a family. Now, with the interfamily bitterness deepening, “there’s fear Marc is headed to a mental hospital… in public, Chelsea is taking Marc everywhere, but behind the scenes, he’s depressed.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition]

Eh. Here’s my take: I think Marc probably is having some kind of moment, some kind of depression or crisis. I think Chelsea and the Clintons wouldn’t be pouncing on every story and denying everything unless there was something there. But I don’t think Marc is headed for some massive breakdown or anything – he probably just needs a vacation (with his wife), needs some sleep, and maybe some talk therapy, or some antidepressants, and a new job.

Star Magazine and The National Enquirer both have stories this week about how Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ relationship is on the rocks. There’s not a lot of insider information in either tabloid, and the story in Star seems to be based on the very damning report in the New Yorker on Scientology that was published last week, along with some tell-all interviews with former cult members. There was also a dinner that Tom and Kate had at a restaurant in Vancouver on February 7 in which they sat far apart and seemed to interact more with Suri than with each other. (Those pictures are here.)

I think it’s safe to assume they’re having issues, but whether or not they’re affected by the shakedown of their cult remains to be seen. There’s so much brainwashing and groupthink that goes on with those type of organizations that both of them may simply think that Scientology is under attack by Subversive Persons or Squirrels (see Mark Rathbun) or whatever the f’ck they call them, which could just cause them to circle their wagons. That might not necessarily drive them apart. I love that the tabloids are really paying attention to the Scientology drama, though, and Star reports it in detail. I’ll just do a quick overview here:

FBI Probe: Tearing Tom & Katie Apart!
A shocking expose has turned the microscope on Scientology – and it’s most famous members, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Now the FBI is involved. Will their marriage survive the stress?

With her head in her hands, staring glumly out at the crowded restaurant, Katie Holmes looked like she had a lot on her mind during a Feb. 7 dinner with hubby Tom Cruise. While he played and chatted with daughter Suri, Katie was left alone with her thoughts – and it didn’t appear that they were happy ones. Indeed, sources say that a blockbuster new Scientology expose has sent Katie reeling and driven a wedge between her and Tom.

[From Star Magazine, print edition, February 28, 2011]

They go into the charges of human trafficking and the FBI probe as was discussed in the New Yorker article. (That claim has been denied by Scientology of course.) They also cover the cult slave labor that built multiple vehicles for cruise, including custom motorcycles, an SUV, an airport hanger, and a bus that was tricked out so that Katie Holmes should get her daily brainwashing sessions wherever they went.

As far as how this latest cult scandal affects Tom and Katie, Star reports that “Tom has told Katie over and over that the church hasn’t done anything wrong and they shouldn’t be worried, but she’s not totally convinced. This is really testing their marriage.”

The Enquirer’s story is similar but more general about the issues they have, with the title “Katie Holmes breaks down” followed by these bullet points “She’s in tears over:
- Faltering Career
- Scientology Scandal
- Fights with Tom over baby
- Problems with stepdaughter”

They quote an insider who claims that “Katie’s world is threatening to cave in, and she’s on the bring of a major breakdown.” Given all I’ve heard about Scientology, that’s often true when people start questioning the cult. Katie may have countless more resources at her disposal than a typical cult member if she ever decides to leave, but it’s not going to be easy for her at all.

Katie Holmes is shown on 1/20/11 below on the LA set of Jack N Jill. She’s shown out with Tom and Suri on 12/20/11. In most of those photos she looks happy honestly, but the tabloids are of course using one where she looks pissed off. Credit: Fame.
