Motocross champ and estranged husband of pop singer Pink, Carey Hart, says the couple are still close despite their split in February. Based on the comments he gave in an interview, it sounds like Hart isn’t ready to call it quits on the marriage.

Carey Hart and Pink may have split, but that doesn’t mean they’re not still close.

“We talk all the time and try to stay connected as much as possible,” Hart told PEOPLE at the opening of his new Las Vegas club, Wasted Space, in the Hard Rock Hotel. “It’s a tough situation to be in but I love her to death.”

And though they are not longer a couple, Hart confesses he still misses his ex. “I miss everything about her,” he says. And in the wake of their split, “I became a workaholic,” says the motocross star. “I work 19 hours a day.”

Carey, who married Pink in 2006 and split in February, isn’t ready to move on.

Says Hart: “I’m not in any rush to get back into a relationship.”

Before the pair announced their split, the rumor mills was in full tilt over infidelities by both of them. Carey was photographed at an event in Las Vegas with a busty model sitting in his lap, while Pink was spotted kissing a girl in a bar. No reason was ever given for the split. Back when the couple first separated, Pink wrote about the breakup on her website, saying “I love Carey so much. One never knows the future, but mine and Carey’s just might involve beach babies and sunshine one day. Just not right now.” Who knows? Maybe they will get back together after all.

Lance Bass has finally found love. Well maybe. It’s complicated. And a bit clichéd. It seems he’s fallen for his trainer. There’s cliché number one. And the trainer is married. Cliché number two. To a woman. Cliché two and a half. But it might have just been a green card marriage. Cliché three and a half. I doubt like counting higher than four, so I’m going to stop with the clichés.

Lance has confirmed the rumors that he’s dating trainer Sebastian Leal after he took him to a party. Leal, who is Italian, has been separated from his American wife of nine years for more than three years. And she doesn’t exactly sound bitter about it. Combined with the Lance-loving, this makes it sound like it was perhaps never a traditional marriage in the first place.

Lance Bass has found love with a hot trainer, but there’s a catch - the muscle-bound hunk is married. Bass stepped out with personal trainer and aspiring actor Sebastian Leal at a Malibu party recently, confirming rumors that they’re an item.

But Page Six has learned that Leal, who is Italian but was born and raised in Brazil, married US citizen Jessica Gannon nine years ago - and never got a divorce. The two separated three years ago, due to what Gannon told us through a rep were “irreconcilable differences.” She added, “We continue to love each other. He was, is and always will be my best friend.”

One pal of Bass and Leal told us the news will be no shock to Bass because “Lance and Sebastian are very open with each other and have no secrets.” A rep for Bass, who contacted Leal as well, declined to comment.

Michael K over at Dlisted called Lance, “the gay Sienna Miller” which I think is just about the most apt description I’ve ever heard. Although Michael meant that Lance is a homewrecker. I just think that if Sienna Miller turned into a dude, she would look exactly like Lance Bass. I’m not sure who that’s more offensive to.

It doesn’t sound like any homes have actually been wrecked. Either that marriage was gone a long time ago, or it never really existed in the first place. Or maybe Lance is like the male Ellen DeGeneres and can turn previously straight people gay. That’s a bad take on a 30 Rock joke. But I still think it’d be a really awesome (and unusual) superpower to have.

Here’s Lance at STK restaurant in West Hollywood on May 13th. For some reason that header image really cracks me up. I really don’t know how he keeps getting hot guys with that face. Images thanks to WENN.

I have to admit, I find the relationship between Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson to be really cute. Like, really really cute. Lindsay seemed to exclusively date douche bags when she was dating men. But Samantha seems pretty awesome – and really into Lindsay. And she doesn’t seem like the sort to sell LiLo out, unlike a few of her past paramours. And in a sense, perhaps it says something about their relationship that they haven’t made some big announcement or blogged all over their respective MySpaces. It seems like they’re with each other out of genuine affection, and that’s pretty sweet to see.

On the heels of reports that Samantha Ronson recently changed her Facebook relationship status to “in a relationship,” she and Lindsay Lohan stepped out in New York City in coordinated fedoras on Thursday. At the Sephora Celebrates Ten Years of Glamorous event, the pair kept mum, but Lohan’s mom Dina gushed about Ronson.

“I love Samantha,” Dina Lohan told reporters. “She’s like a child to me. They’re great friends and as long as my daughter is happy and healthy, it is what it is.” Ronson, wearing her usual skinny jeans and shirt, spun a mix of ’80s tunes and current hits throughout the night, and Lohan, in a slinky multi-colored sequined dress, jammed alongside her. Lohan spent the evening, drink-free, texting friends on her phone, playing with Ronson’s deejay equipment and posing for pictures.

At midnight, the two left together, holding hands.

Aww. I never thought Lindsay Lohan would do anything that would make me say that. Here are the Lohans at the Sephora Celebrates Ten Years of Glamorous on Thursday in New York City, where Ronson deejayed for the night. Images thanks to PR Photos.

It’s widely been reported that Pete Doherty wants to win back Kate Moss. Because their relationship obviously worked out so well the first time. Instead of showing up at her doorstep with a bouquet of flowers, Pete has decided to go the nontraditional – albeit just as romantic – route of having Kate’s favorite deceased cat formed into a ring. How could this possibly go wrong?

Pete Doherty is planning to have the ashes of his cat Shelley made into a diamond ring.

The singer has commissioned the piece from US company LifeGem and insiders claims Pete, 29, is planning to give the sparkler to ex Kate Moss, 34.

Shelley was her favourite pet when they dated last year, reports the Daily Star, and he’s hoping the gift will help win her back now she’s split from Jamie Hince, 39.

Kate is reported to have dumped The Kills star because he was spending too much time with bandmate Alison Mosshart.

‘Kate was upset with Jamie because he often doesn’t pick up his phone when he’s with her,’ a source tells the News Of The World.

‘Kate shouted at him that he has a closeness with her that they don’t have.’

[From NOW Magazine]

So, to sum up: Kate Moss: jealous of ex-boyfriend’s bandmate; Pete Doherty making cat Shelly into diamond ring. Essentially, everything is status quo in the lives of these two.

This is one of those stories you’d assume is a crazy internet rumor, except that because it’s Pete Doherty it is entirely possible. In fact I think the odds are much greater that Pete plans on turning Shelly into a diamond (I’m assuming that’s how it works; I’m way too afraid to look at the company’s website to find out) than him writing a love poem or something. Unless he wrote it in his own blood. To go with the blood artwork that he did. I’m not even trying to be outlandish here. Pete did do that. Hopefully he has no more pets in his possession, or I’m afraid Pete might come up with the materials for a matching pendant.

Here’s Pete looking not quite as scary as expected performing live in concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Saturday. Images thanks to WENN.

I’ve always felt that one of the most important lies you tell in a relationship is that you’ve only ever loved/cared about the person you’re with right then. Sure we all know the other person has been with people before us - but the polite thing to do is act like you’ve never even known love or passion until this particular partner came along. That’s my number one ingredient for a healthy relationship. And it’s worked very unsuccessfully so far.

But imagine you’re Jennifer Aniston. Sure, you’ve been with your fair share of guys, but nothing particularly odd in either direction. Then you fall for John Mayer and follow him around the world like a professional groupie. How in the world do you pretend that he hasn’t been with scads of random chicks? Especially when you find their old love letters hidden in his guitar case?

John Mayer can’t keep those pesky ex-es away. His girlfriend Jennifer Aniston found “a batch” of love letters from his ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson in his guitar case. “Jennifer was more hurt than angry at the discovery,” said a source. “The letters surprisingly were very touching and well written.” Aniston appeared to be fine after Mayer smoothed things over. Her rep called the tale “completely fabricated.”

[From the New York Post]

I don’t believe anything PR reps say anymore; and I’d much prefer to believe this story is true. The only reason I kinda sorta believe Jen’s rep is that the Post’s source claims that Jessica Simpson was able to write well. Of course they meant surprising for Jessica… that could mean anything. It could be anywhere from “less dumb” to “mediocre.”

If the story is true, I can understand why that would hurt Jen. The fact that the letters were hidden indicates that John knew they’d be upsetting and/or he shouldn’t still have them (at least as far as a new girl would be concerned). It really destroys any bit of that “I’ve never loved anyone but you” facade that’s so nice to put up. But then again, we’re talking about a guy that’s openly admitted to sleeping with his fans in the past. Nothing should really be a surprise anymore.

Despite about a billion reports last week that Megan Fox had dumped fiancé Brian Austin Green, Green says it’s untrue. Which is super weird, because the internet was abuzz with the gossip last Thursday, and neither Fox nor Green bothered to address the supposedly incorrect gossip until today.

Brian Austin Green says everything’s going great with fiancée Megan Fox.

(London’s Daily Star reported that Fox, 22, called off her engagement to the former 90210 star after realizing “she’s too young to marry him.”)

“We’re solid,” Green, 34, says in the new issue of TV Guide. “We’ve lived together for three years. We have tattoos of each other’s names.”

Green’s only gripe about their relationship? “We have more time away from each other right now than we’d like,” he says.

Green - who has a son, Kassius, with ex fiancée Vanessa Marcil - says he “would love” to have more kids.

For now, he and Fox - who met in 2004 and got engaged in 2006 - are “rescuing pets from pet stores. We have a potbellied pig, we have dogs, two cats, two birds a squirrel.

[From Us Weekly]

How freaking adorable. I can’t say why, but somehow I don’t find this entirely believable. Maybe it’s because it took them so long to respond to the gossip. Or maybe it’s because Megan Fox hasn’t said a word. I just wouldn’t be entirely surprised if in a week we find out that they have split after all.

In other news, Green seems to be just about the only 90210 cast member that hasn’t been asked to join the cast of the spin-off. So far Tori Spelling is confirmed, and it seems pretty likely that Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth will both be involved in some capacity. Too bad for Brian, as his career probably could have used it.

Last week the interweb was abuzz with the news that Pete Doherty was going to sell-out ex girlfriend Kate Moss in an autobiography. Supposedly Sexy Pete – as he’s known in my house – was going to dish some dirt about their sex life, all the drugs, and probably something about a lack of bathing. Now Pete has apparently had a change of heart, which isn’t all that surprising. It’s highly doubtful he even remembers last week. Yes, now Pete wants Kate back, now that she just broke up with her boyfriend, The Kills singer Jamie Hince.

Jamie Hince’s side of Kate Moss’s bed may still be warm, but Pete Doherty is already trying to jump in to it. Just as we warned yesterday the shambolic druggie is trying to weasel his way back into Kate’s life. And he’s been boasting to mates about how he reckons he is going to get back with his ex. In his addled mind Pete believes that he and the stunningly successful model are the perfect couple - and texted her to tell her so.

And we’re told it was these latenight love texts that drove The Kills frontman Jamie over the edge. So far Kate’s managed to control the desire to run back to the arms of the filthy-fingernailed one. But his pitiful pleadings are relentless. Last month he posted a video of himself on YouTube singing a song about how much he missed her. And when he heard Kate and Jamie had hit a rocky patch he swooped in with his adolescent poetic scribblings.

A source said: “Jamie was furious when Pete got in touch about a week ago. And over the last three nights he and Kate have texted each other until the early hours. Pete’s been showing the texts to mates and thinks he is on the verge of winning her back but his mates aren’t convinced.”

Think of your sheets, Kate..!

[From the Mirror]

Normally I really loathe the additional commentary that’s often in articles in The Mirror, but they are totally right. Kate’s sheets, curtains, tablecloths… really, textiles of any kind are in real, real danger. And though it rarely is mentioned in terms of Doherty, let’s not forget that Kate has a 5-year-old daughter, Lila Grace. Though she’s not exactly known for being the most devoted parent in the world, I shudder to think of the parent that would willingly bring Pete Doherty into their child’s life. Especially as a parental-type figure.

Hopefully Kate will continue to rebuff Pete’s advances. If there is any decency or goodness in the world.

George Clooney’s ex, Sarah Larson, is making the PR rounds to let everyone know just how awesome she is, just how great her life is going, and how she’s still good friends with George. Not to sound too cynical, but I don’t believe a word of it. It’s definitely more dignified to go this route than trying to drag the person through the mud, so I give her points for trying. I just don’t think it’s true.

Actor George Clooney certainly knows how to stay on good terms with his exes, if a new interview with Sarah Larson is anything to go by. Clooney split with the former cocktail waitress in May after a year together. But if anyone expected her to be bitter about losing her grip on Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor, think again.

“George is a great guy, a wonderful person. I don’t regret spending time with him and he’s a great person to get to know. We still remain friends and have kept in touch. In fact, we spoke over the phone a couple of days ago. He’s fun to be around, down to earth, laid back, funny and smart,” she gushed to Hello! magazine. And the Ocean’s Eleven star is apparently a man of hidden talents. “Most people know George has a great sense of humour and is an adept storyteller, but I will always miss his extraordinary dance moves,” Larson said.

Thanks to their relationship, however, she is now moving on to bigger and better things. “I have a lot of great opportunities, doors that have opened, and I have no complaints. I make good money. I have a house. I have all the things I’ve always wanted. I’m in a good place,” she said.

I’ve had some amazing offers come in, including one modelling campaign that may bring me to England soon. I can’t talk about it yet because it’s not a done deal. I hope it happens because I’ve never been to England and I’d love to spend some time there. If I do end up there I could find a nice British boy. I’d be open to the idea. I hear they have a good sense of humour.”

[From the Telegraph]

It sounds like Sarah is appreciative of the good things her relationship with George brought her, but I can’t imagine her possibly being so cool with him. But if she really is, then good for her. She is strikingly beautiful; hopefully she’ll be able to parlay her exposure into some kind of career. Not that eating bugs on Fear Factor wasn’t a good gig. It just wasn’t long-term.

It’s been a tough year for British singer Lily Allen, but it looks like there may be one bright spot. Lily may be getting back together with her ex, Ed Simons, part of the DJ duo the Chemical Brothers. Lily and Ed broke up two weeks after the singer suffered a miscarriage in February. However, last month when Lily’s grandmother died, Simons was seen comforting his ex backstage at the Glastonbury music festival. Now, the pair have updated their Facebook profiles to reflect their rekindled relationship. What, are they 12 years old now or something?

It seems online social network Facebook has scooped tabloid newspapers with news that Lily Allen and The Chemical Brothers Ed Simons have rekindled their romance.

According to an update sent to “friends” of the pair, both have updated their profiles to show that they are “in a relationship” with each other.

Rumours that the couple were going out again surfaced in the aftermath of this year’s Glastonbury festival, although it seems Facebook beat the papers to the story.

[From First Music News]

That’s kind of cheesy and juvenile, but whatever. Maybe these two can try again and take it a little more slowly this time around. They had only been dating a couple of months before Lily announced her pregnancy. Moving that fast can put a lot of pressure on a new couple, but they do seem to care for each other. Lily did seem very happy with Ed. She slimmed down, cut back on the drinking and was smiling all the time. Since they broke up she’s been kind of a mess. And let’s not even mention the hideous pink hair. However, it looks like she’s gone back to brunette recently, thank goodness.

Nick Cannon is making the PR rounds promoting… well promoting his marriage. It seems that’s about all he’s got going on in his life anymore. And really, who can blame him? If you had a nothing career with a random, unknown movie or CD here or there, and then married a multi-millionaire, that’d probably be the biggest thing going on in your life too.

Nick’s been plagued by a lot of rumors lately that he is essentially Mariah’s bitch and that their marriage is already on the rocks. So obviously the best way to prove that’s not true is to do your wife’s bidding and chat up People and Us Weekly about just how solid you’re spur-of-the-moment marriage is. Because that’ll show everyone your balls are still firmly attached.

Both People and Us wrote essentially the same story with the same quotes from Nick about just how great money marriage is.

Nick Cannon is still in the honeymoon phase with new wife Mariah Carey.

“It’s amazing!” Cannon, 27, told Usmagazine.com at the Christian Audigier nightclub grand opening in Las Vegas Thursday night. “It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me!” he continued.

[Nick’s] plan is to have one [wedding] every year,” Carey gushed to Ellen DeGeneres two weeks later. “Instead of trying to be like, ‘You’re invited, but shhh, don’t tell anybody,’ we’re just going to have another one [wedding] next year.”

Up next for the lovebirds? Babies!

“I always said… if I found the right person who I felt would be on the same page as me in term of raising kids and having the same belief system, [we’d have kids],” Carey said.

Reuben Cannon told Us his half-brother Nick, “definitely wants kids,” and that he “loves [Mariah] more than any other girl.”

[From Us Weekly]

I’m sure it is the best thing that’s ever happened to you, Nick Cannon. If I married someone and suddenly got to pee in on a jewel-encrusted toilet seat as a result, I’d think it was pretty much the best thing ever too. And I’m 93% sure that’s what Nick and Mariah’s marriage is really based on.

Mariah famously took back all her statements on not wanting to have kids within seconds of marrying Nick. Which was extra funny, because she made all those statements right before she married Nick. So it seems like they’re both willing to compromise a bit, which I guess is good. Mariah agrees to have a couple kids, and Nick tells People just how happy it makes him to schedule his wife’s appointments, pick up her dry cleaning, and do her laundry. Sounds like a marriage that’ll definitely go for the long haul.
