A 23 year-old model says she met Keith Urban at a Nashville bar in 2004 and was banging him up until the month before he married Nicole Kidman. She says they were so close she lived in his mansion briefly and that she met his family. Keith was constantly drunk and on various drugs including ecstasy and cocaine according to his supposed lover, who claims she’s talking to the press now to make it clear that she’s not a homewrecker.

The woman seems to be the reason Urban went into rehab this fall. She was spotted making out with him at a Nashville bar in October, and he checked into the Betty Ford clinic shortly afterwards. She won’t talk about that latest incident, but says that she was seeing Keith up until May, that he refused to talk about Nicole, and that he stopped returning her calls and got married to the famous movie star just a month afterwards:

Amanda Wyatt, a 23-year-old part-time model and self-professed “nobody”, last night revealed that Urban was unfaithful to his superstar wife throughout their courtship and engagement.

She says: “I feel sorry for Nicole. Keith cheated on her repeatedly with me, right up to just before they got married.

“He’s done it once and he will probably do it again.

“I know him as well as anyone and while he can be charming and loving, he is also someone who is constantly fighting his demons…

Amanda furnishes her story with intimate details only a lover could know.

She has Urban’s secret security code for his guard gate, she casually drops into conversation the name of his favourite cologne - Dolce & Gabbana - and says she cannot smell Shea Butter Body Wash without thinking of him.

Furthermore, Amanda, who is 16 years his junior and was just 21 when they met in 2004, admits she was surprised their relationship ever progressed further than a one-night stand - and says she never once pushed him for commitment.

She says: “I was a fan of Keith’s and longed to meet him.

“I was born and raised in Nashville and he was a star here long before the rest of the world heard about him through Nicole.

“I went to a bar called the Tin Roof one night and he was there.

“I was with a group of girlfriends and after a couple of drinks, on a dare, I went right up to him and said: ‘Hi Keith, I’m Amanda and I’m a big fan.’

“He just grinned. A couple of hours later I was so flattered when he came up and said: ‘You’re Amanda, right?’

“The next thing he said was: ‘Do you party?’…

“He had this big, beige-coloured hot tub and he lit scented candles and we’d take big bubble baths together.

“It was so romantic. The music would be playing low in the background and he loved to wash me, rub my feet and wash my hair.

“He told me he loved me. He was always telling me how I made him feel young, how I was sexy and beautiful. It was a real turn-on.”

Amanda says she and Urban were inseparable in the early part of their relationship, which continued until May 2006, less than a month before his wedding to Nicole Kidman.

She temporarily moved into the home he was then renting in the Brentwood suburb of Nashville and even met his parents, Bob and Marienne, who had arrived from Australia to spend the 2004 Thanksgiving holiday with their son.

But even more disturbing, perhaps, than Urban’s sexual infidelity to Nicole Kidman was Amanda’s insistence that Urban was constantly drunk and a heavy drug user throughout their long affair.

She added: “As I got to know him, it was clear he was a deeply troubled man.

“He drank constantly; his favourite was Crown Royal Reserve whisky. And he did drugs: Ecstasy, cocaine, pot - you name it…

“I took Ecstasy with him. His drug use was no secret.

It looks to me like Keith got back with Amanda briefly and then was whisked off to rehab and told her he could never contact her again. That pissed her off so much that she’s talk to the press about him.

Meanwhile Keith and Nicole were said to be planning a family Christmas together to coincide with Keith’s release from rehab. Nicole is said to have booked the largest suite in the Beverly Hills hotel and to have ordered a large Christmas tree for their reunion. This latest news is sure to put a damper on their plans.

I wonder how long it will be before Keith and Nicole split. It seems like Nicole will put on a brave botoxed face for as long as she can stand it so that she doesn’t look like a complete fool for having a failed relationship with a drug addict and cheater.

It’s pretty bad news lately for celebrity couples. Scarlett Johansson and Josh Hartnett have been plagued by breakup rumors before, with reports that Josh broke up with Scarlett back in March, after they had been dating for just over a year. In June Josh’s people finally denied the rumors, simply stating that they were still together. Josh made a few roundabout statements in interviews about how relationships were hard, and Scarlett said that she’s not really into monogamy, but that she doesn’t get around as much as people assume. (She said she does get an HIV test once a year to make sure, though.)

In August they bought a $6 million Tribeca loft together - and are said to have requested extra soundproofing in the bedroom!

Now the NY Post is reporting that their relationship is in trouble.

Sources tell Page Six the “Black Dahlia” star and her longtime boyfriend and co-star, Josh Hartnett, are close to calling it quits. “They are on the rocks,” said one source. “Scarlett is always mad at him, and they are always arguing.” Another insider says Hartnett hasn’t been in the United States in weeks - presumably he’s shooting “30 Days of Night” in New Zealand. Reps for Johansson and Hartnett did not return calls.

What is that movie “30 Days of Night” that Hartnett is making? Is it a “40 Days and 40 Nights” sequel, because I thought that was hysterical. (It’s a Vampire movie, but I couldn’t resist.)

We’ll have to see if Scarlett and Josh are over, but chances are no one is going to confirm anything for a while. This couple goes to a lot of trouble to stay under the radar, and it’s possible they’ve been broken up for a while.

Star is running a story with the headline that Keith Urban’s cheating sent him into rehab. Inside the article, though, they say that the cheating took place back in March way before their June wedding. Keith is said to have screwed a pr0n star for three full hours at a bachelor party. Nicole must have forgiven him because she ended up marrying him and supposedly knew about it. The article kind of half-suggests that Keith’s infidelity is the reason he’s drinking so heavily now.

Sources close to Nicole say Keith had to fess up to Nicole after reports came out that he had bedded a porn star for three hours at a wild bachelorette party in a ritzy L.A. hotel in late March. Keith had reportedly also been drinking champagne that night. Nicole was “cut to the bone” after learning the truth. “She’s grown up enough to know that boys will be boys,” says a friend of hers. “She didn’t threaten to leave, but she told him he had a lot of bridge burning to do.”

It seems like the actual reason may have more to do with the expected failure of his new album, which is out November 7th. He desended into drug abuse after his first album flopped, and he seems to have reverted to old habits again. His first single off the album, a tribute to Nicole called “Once in a Lifetime,” is said to suck.

People reports that “he’s a perfectionist” and that pressure from recording his new album may have pushed him over the edge.

People also says that Nicole and Keith will weather this storm together, but I’m not so sure

“She is standing by him,” a friend says of the actress. “The have a commitment to each other. It’s incredibly painful, but they’re working it out together.

We’ll see how things turn out for Nicole and Keith, but with Keith cheating on Nicole in the spring, then heading to rehab after just four months married, it just doesn’t look good.

Thanks to Sammie’s effluvia for these magazine stories.

According to the latest scoop at TMZ.com, Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon have officially called it quits and are now separated.

The couple’s rep released a statement to TMZ Monday morning that says “We are saddened to announce that Reese & Ryan have decided to formally separate. They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time.”

Apparently, the celebrity couple had been struggling with their marriage for quite some time. Although the two have only separated for now, Reese is in the process of speaking with a divorce lawyer to dissolve the marriage for good.

I think it’s always sad when couples like this divorce, especially when there are little children involved. It seems, however, that Reese and Ryan really tried to make it work for the sake of their kids before taking such a huge step. Things must have been really bad between them for Reese to have to contact a divorce lawyer.

Note from Celebitchy: It seems like things came to a head for Ryan and Reese while Ryan was promoting his new film, “Flags of our Fathers.” There were reports that Ryan and Reese were fighting at the premiere, and the fact that Ryan is working must have made it painfully obvious how much more successful Reese is. According to IMDB, Ryan is filming another movie and has two more coming up. Reese has three films that have been announced but are not filming yet.

First cute character actor William H. Macy slammed Lohan in a roundabout way by saying that actors who show up late to work should get their asses kicked for making everyone wait and holding up production. Now Jane Fonda is telling Lohan that if she doesn’t slow down and focus on her work she’s going to end up nearly 70 and still worrying that the threeway sex tape she made with her ex-partner is going to be released someday.

In an interview with “Access Hollywood,” Fonda praised studio head James G. Robinson for writing that letter telling Lohan to quit pleading exhaustiong after partying, and then tried to backtrack at the end by saying she just wants to mother Lohan since Dina’s so bad at it, and oh, she’s talented too:

We all know that about Lindsay, and it’s nice to hear straight talk from an established actress.

Everyone also knows that Lindsay Lohan doesn’t wear panties and keeps it all smooth-shaven. (How she doesn’t get those bumps is beyond me. Jenna Jameson wrote in her biography that the porn stars avoid them by using antibiotic ointment after they shave. This works like partially, I’ve uh heard.) I am publishing that crotch shot photo, I really couldn’t pass it up. It’s the first thumbnail at the bottom and is clearly marked.

In related news, Lindsay royally pissed off her “longterm” boyfriend, Pink Taco founder Harry Morton, when she flirted openly with the DJ at a party. She was also said to have given her number out to two different guys at a club last night and to have not hung out with Harry all night. Those two are breaking up any day now.

To the commentor who asked why I keep reporting on Lindsay/Paris/Jessica, they’re low hanging fruit, and stories come out about those skanks every day. Sometimes I resist, sometimes I don’t.

E! Online’s Ted Casablanca claimed in his column yesterday thatLance Armstrong is Matthew McConaughey’s sugar daddy and that he paid all the bills for their expensive Miami vacation. People and “Entertainment Tonight” were said to have been tipped off that the pair was in Miami and told to cover it like they were two buddies hanging out.

Lance is supposedly fed up with Matt’s spending at this point and that may have led Matt back into the arms of Jake Gyllenhaal.

Unless you spend like ten minutes trying to interpret his prose and thinking about what he’s trying to say, it’s really hard to figure it out. So I’ve cut a lot of it out and removed the ten stupid nicknames he used for the same people:

[via]

Why doesn’t someone edit this man’s “awful” writing? Regardless that’s a juicy scoop if you can clean off all the syrup he’s poured over it.

It’s not news that Matt and Lance are said to be more than just sweaty workout buddies, but it is news that one of them paid for the whole vacation and that they had a private pool. It was probably just for all the hot women they brought back to the bungalow.

Actually, Justin put a timeframe on it. He says he’ll marry Cameron in like, 15 years. He really said this:

He sounds like he’s not happy in the relationship at all. What is that crack about not getting a ring from her? Why doesn’t he break up with her already? Oh I know, he’s happy to be with her as long as it’s on his terms.

I’m not a Cameron fan, but if she wants to get married and have kids she needs to break up with Justin and start looking for a man who’s ready for it. If a guy says he’s not going to marry you - surprise - he won’t! It’s kind of sad for her that’s he’s talking such smack about their relationship on a talk show.

Update: Pictures removed on request.

Madonna and her husband Guy Richie, who was once a director but became a stay-at-home dad after Madonna’s influence ruined his career, have been plagued by breakup rumors for ages. In mid-May Madonna was seen out without her wedding ring, while Guy decided to take a month-long extreme sports vacation with some of his buddies.

Madonna said in an interview that she felt like a crap mother because she wanted to focus on her career, while her father-in-law speculated that she and Guy would stay together for their kids. Now Madonna has admitted that Guy doesn’t really like her music and is not a fan, and that she really misses being single. In fact she sounds positively wistful for her old life without a family:

Madonna, you’re 48 years old. This is how it is when you have a family. Get over it.

Meanwhile Guy and Madonna are reportedly fighting about schooling for their children. Madonna is dragging them all over the world on her tour, while Guy wants them to stay in England and have some continuity in their education:

Guy has put up with a lot of shit from Madonna over the years, but it sounds like he’s putting his foot down on this one. How much longer do you think these two will last?

Here are Madonna and Guy after her 48th birthday party on August 16th. They look like everything is just fine. [via]

Oscar winner Charlize Theron and her boyfriend of five years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, are said to have had a spat while out a Hollywood restaurant last week. The Mirror reports that Charlize showed up 45 minutes late for dinner and that Stuart lectured her for it in front of their embarassed friends:

This might have happened, but The Mirror lost all credibility for me when they claimed Nicole Kidman was out at a party when she was really outside the Creative Artists offices.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they only information they had is that Charlize was late to dinner while her boyfriend and their friends waited.

What I want to know is when are these two getting married? They had some trouble back in March, with reports that they had broken up, but now that they’re back together and supposedly doing fine it’s about time Townsend popped the question. Charlize has been wearing what looks like an engagement ring on her left ring finger, so these two may be engaged already.

Star Magazine reports this week that Matthew McConaughy called Jennifer Aniston in a not-so-subtle attempt to get her to go out with him.

Jennifer’s rep denied that she received a call from McConaughy, but it could be true. If it really happened, it doesn’t mean McConaughy was serious about it. He may have just wanted the publicity so that he can stem some of the rumors that he’s enjoying Lance and Jake’s company in every way possible. It was a pretty slick move on his part, considering he picked an actress who’s technically unavailable, but hasn’t gone public with her relationship.

Aniston seems to be having a hard time in her relationship with bloated paramour Vince Vaughn. While it was rumored last week that they broke up, that doesn’t seem true since Vince was spotted out with Aniston and was seen leaving her house. Poor Aniston has bought a new dog to keep her company while she waits for a commitment from Vince that will never come. Maybe she should have gone out with McConaughy. At least it would have made Vince jealous.
