Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong in Cannes on May 25, 2008
In Touch has a new story that claims that Kate Hudson, 29, has already told her new boyfriend, athlete Lance Armstrong, 36, that she loves him. They don’t specify whether Lance said it back, but claim to have a witness who heard her say “I love you Lance” several times. They also say that Lance and Kate are talking marriage and that it’s the “real thing” for both of them.

There’s an inset story beneath that one that details Kate’s dating history and the way that she falls head over heels for boyfriends quickly. This was more interesting to me, because I have girlfriends who jump into relationships too soon and I have to admit to being foolish in love at times too:

Moving in After 4 Days [ex husband Chris Robinson]
Days after their first date in May 2000, Kate moved in with Chris Robinson. “We knew we were in love after four days,” she says. They wed seven months later.

Dating after 1 week [Owen Wilson]
One week after her separation from Chris was confirmed, rumors flew that Kate was already dating her You, Me and Dupree co-star Owen Wilson

Vacationing after 2 weeks [Dax Shephard]
Two weeks after she was first seen with comedian Dax Shepard, Kate invited him to take a vacation with her to Canada to meet her entire extended family.

The accompanying article warns that the danger with falling in love too quickly is that you can just as easily sour on a person and ditch the relationship the minute you get a taste of reality. It also can be hard on your kids if you’re a single mom and bring too many men into their lives. In Touch quotes “relationship expert” Dr. Gilda Carle who says “Her son gets attached to her various partners, but when it’s over, Ryder may become disappointed and confused.”

That could be true, but we don’t know how many men she’s dated who have played a significant role in his life. There are three that I can think of since she split with her husband. Certainly you should be careful not to bring a lot of men around or make them seem like replacement daddies, but kids are resilient and I see Kate as dating until she finds the right man, not sleeping around.

It does sound like Kate moves too fast, but it seems more like she falls quickly and just goes with it. In Touch includes a quote she gave to Cosmopolitan in 2005, when she was still married, to suggest that she may be fickle in relationships. She said “If for some reason it’s over, why would you spend five years of your life trying to make it work when you can spend those five years being friends and finding someone else?” She probably already knew her marriage was over at that point, and it’s possible she didn’t move on to Wilson that quickly after it ended, and just waited to announce her separation.

If anything Kate sounds guilty of the same thing a lot of do when we find a great new man - we think he’s the one and start to revolve our lives around him. It’s better to step back a little, get your head together, and focus on your friends and interests for a while so that you can make a better decision about who you want to commit to - for now.

You know what I lay in bed worrying about? What does Donald Trump think of my relationship? Whenever I’m not sure what to do, I remind myself of the letters printed on a bracelet I wear around my wrist: WWDTD? What would Donald Trump do? Would he fight over who has to do the dishes? Would he think it’s okay if I withhold sex as punishment?

Luckily Anne Hathaway doesn’t have to wonder, because the Donald has felt it appropriate to throw his weight behind ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, and call Anne out for leaving the criminal sleaze bag.

Donald Trump may have a new sparring partner on his hands.

The “Apprentice” head honcho has raised a critical eyebrow at “Get Smart’s” Anne Hathaway for dumping her boyfriend, and Trump Tower resident, Raffaello Follieri, days before he was arrested and charged with fraud.

“She hasn’t remained very loyal to him, has she?” Trump told “Access Hollywood’s” Billy Bush. “So when he had plenty of money, she liked him, but then after that, not as good, right?”

Trump said this week, prior to Follieri being taken into custody and his bail set at $21 million, Trump Tower has been surrounded by media.

[From Access Hollywood]

Yeah, what a terrible person Anne Hathaway is for not sticking around once it became clear her boyfriend really was a scumbag criminal. So far there’s no way to know exactly how much Anne Hathaway knew, and if she realized Follieri was committing a crime. I’m guessing she probably was aware of it on some level but deluded herself.

On the other hand, Donald Trump does have a little bit of a point. Which makes me pretty damn mad. Because I should never have to write a sentence like that. The Daily News says that Follieri’s pals all think Hathaway ratted him out to the FBI before he was arrested. If so, she obviously knew some useful stuff. I’m guessing she broke up with him because of her own PR needs. Though really, that would have been a great reason to break up with the guy a long time ago. I hate it when Donald Trump is right.

Sienna Miller seems intent on carrying on her string of bad relationship decisions. The actress has taken up with married father of four Balthazar Getty, an actor on the ABC show Brothers and Sisters. They were introduced to each other last summer, and started spending a good deal of time with each other at the Chateau Marmont in March and April. News of the World has a very detailed account of the pair’s relationship, including what appears to be a day-by-day near stalking of the couple, along with pictures.

Sexy Brit actress Sienna Miller is secretly on the Edge Of Love with a married multi-millionaire oil heir, we can reveal. The rampant movie beauty has been enjoying romantic nights with tycoon actor and dad-of-four Balthazar Getty after dumping heartbroken Notting Hill star Rhys Ifans earlier this month. The besotted pair have been holed up together day and night in Hollywood after his heartbroken wife fled the country with their kids.

Despite playing a cat and mouse game to stay out of the headlines they have been spotted secretly meeting at restaurants near their hillside hideaway. A source revealed: “They went to great pains to find a place where they thought nobody would find them. They daren’t go out together, so they spend most of their time inside. When they do leave, they go separately.”

In one rendezvous on Thursday, 26-year-old Sienna drove to a restaurant while former heroin addict Getty, 33, even cycled there to try to avoid being spotted with her. Now Getty’s clothes designer wife Rosetta has run away to Italy with their four children —the youngest born only eight months ago—after rumbling her wandering husband.

And pals say lovestruck Sienna has even used her ex-boyfriend and Edge Of Love co-star Matthew Rhys as a smokescreen for their romance… trying to give the impression she might be back with HIM after her split from 39-year-old Ifans.

[From News of the World]

I have no idea what “rumbling” means in this context, but it can’t be good. Even though it made me giggle. Thank heavens for ever-evolving British slang. Supposedly Sienna broke up with ex-boyfriend Rhys Ifans because she wanted to “do the right thing” before stuff went further with Balthazar. Apparently the right thing only has to do with her relationship, and not Getty’s wife or four kids.

What a seedy situation. You can check out the News of the Word’s play-by-play of the couple’s secret relationship. The Huffington Post picked up the story as well, so it sounds like it’s pretty legit. Sienna Miller makes such poor relationship choices. Rhys Ifans seemed to be a notable exception. He was head over heels for her, and it was absolutely adorable. She seems like someone who will have to repeat her mistakes a couple times before she learns the lesson… if she can learn it.

Everyone is still busy speculating over what went wrong between George Clooney and Sarah Larson. The two split up after a year together – absolutely beyond record length for a Clooney liaison. Before that, His longest – and I’m guessing deepest – relationship was with his pot bellied pig, Max. Mike Walker of the National Enquirer has another theory as to what might have gone wrong, and according to him, Ms. Larson got a little too big for her britches in the Clooney household.

New clue in the intriguing mystery of why George Clooney abruptly dumped ex-cocktail waitress Sarah Larson - even after generously buying her new boobs and teeth! The bust-up occurred in part because risqué photos surfaced along with rumors of her fling with an old flame - plus sordid tales of her wild past that freaked Clooney out, as reported by The Enquirer - but here’s a tasty chunk of my very own prime gossip filet, folks:

Word’s just now drifting out from the star’s inner circle that Sarah, who once depended on tips herself as a scantily clad booze-server in Vegas, suddenly started acting like the future Missus Clooney around The Man’s household, cruelly ordering cutbacks to the hefty gratuities Generous George regularly lavishes on his personal staff.

For months, Clooney had no clue about Stingy Sarah’s sly cutbacks, but when worried staffers finally asked one of his higher-ups if the boss had trimmed everyone’s tips because he was unhappy with their work, the whistle finally blew loudly in the star’s ear and he went ballistic - raging that NO ONE had the right to counterman his orders! Just days after Clooney’s shocking discovery, it was suddenly “See ya, Sarah!”

[From the National Enquirer, July 12, 2008, print ed]

Frankly it seems pretty clear to me that whatever ended George and Sarah’s relationship, I’ll bet it was an excuse. George Clooney does not date women long, and I’m sure he knew that if he went on much longer, he’d be expected to marry Sarah. The gossip was reaching a boiling point as it was.

I’m guessing he waited for the first thing she did wrong, and then gave Sarah the boot. A Clooney relationship isn’t a traditional one where the two people are partners who work together through issues. You get to date George – and he takes pretty good care of you, buying you new body parts and such – for a few months until he loses interest.

As soon as his relationship with Sarah deviated from his tried and true format, suddenly his entire identity was probably up in the air and he started looking for a way out. I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual dumping was because of something relatively trivial, though the idea that Sarah ever had enough control to influence his staff’s paychecks seems a little unlikely to me. Either way, she set a Clooney relationship record, and she left with two lovely parting gifts.

Update by Celebitchy: Many of you are pointing out in the comments that Clooney was married for four years, to Talia Balsam from 1989 - 1993, and had a relationship for several years with Lisa Snowden. Although he’s had other relationships that lasted longer than Larson, Jaybird is technically correct that his longest relationship to date was with his potbellied pig, though. Max lived to the age of 19, four years past his life expectancy, and was partially blind and suffered arthritis in his old age. Clooney had to urge fans to quit sending potbellied piglets to his house after Max died. He said he wasn’t ready to adopt another pig and good ‘ol Max would probably be his last.

Comedienne Kathy Griffin is claiming that she and supposed ex-fiancé Steve Wozniak (the teddy bear billionaire co-founder of Apple) were never really engaged. In fact, she’s claiming that their relationship was pretty much platonic the whole time, even though she says they were dating. Griffin claims she and Wozniak never slept together – and she wore a giant fake engagement ring to the Emmys – which he didn’t even notice.

Kathy Griffin says she never went all the way with her ex, Apple co-founder billionaire Steve Wozniak. “We were dating, but were just friendly. I never f—-d him or anything!” she told Usmagazine.com during a visit to our NYC offices last Thursday. “The truth is,” she added, “we really were friends the whole time.” They definitely had their laughs together, she said.

“When we went to the Emmys together, I put on this really huge engagement ring and didn’t tell him,” she told Us. “There are these great photos of me posing with this great big fake diamond ring. He didn’t notice!” she added. “I was like, ‘Oh, by the way at the Emmys, I had on a fake engagement ring!’ And he was like, ‘Oh, that’s very funny.’”

She announced their split in April (they met in 2007 after he watched her perform). After they called it quits, she said “he met someone very quickly and then they [got] engaged.” No hard feelings, said Griffin, who plans to visit Wozniak (who appears on her Bravo reality show) in Saratoga, New York, on July 11. “I have had dinner with them, and she’s a thousand times more appropriate!” she said. “I hate to say it, but in the Bruce, Demi, Ashton [scheme of things], I’m the Bruce!”

[From US Weekly]

My first reaction is that she’s trying to save face, but that doesn’t really seem like the self-deprecating Kathy Griffin we’ve come to know. It’s a little confusing that they were dating but “just friendly.” I thought dating happened once you felt more than friendly for someone, no? The thing about the engagement ring doesn’t surprise me at all – I know at least thirty guys that would never notice something like that unless someone pointed it out.

Griffin and Wozniak seemed like an unusual but cute match. From the interviews she did this past fall, it sure seemed like they were together in a more traditionally romantic sense. Either way they’re obviously still good friends, and it’s great that they can be happy for each other’s new romantic successes.

I don’t know why, but I find Lindsay Lohan’s relationship with Samantha Ronson absolutely fascinating. I think anytime you assume someone is one thing, and then find out they might be another, it’s kind of interesting. But what really intrigues me is that we just don’t know what’s going on there. Lohan was all kinds of a skank with men. Has she turned to women permanently? Is she bi? Is she just going through that “I experimented in college” phase, without bothering with actually going to college?

Well no matter why she’s in to Samantha, Sam’s brother, producer Mark Ronson, seems to have confirmed that the pair are indeed a couple.

Mark Ronson has fuelled rumors that his younger sister Samantha is dating Lindsay Lohan. The pair were spotted kissing and cuddling at the Cannes Film Festival in France last month.

And Mark, 32, reckons they’re a great pairing. ‘My sister and Lindsay make a cute couple, don’t they?’ he tells the Sunday Mirror.

Neither Lindsay, 21, or Sam, 30, have confirmed they’re an item. Earlier this week they were spotted partying with singer Lily Allen in LA.

[From NOW Magazine]

There were rumors floating around that Lohan, Ronson, and Lily Allen were engaged in some kind of lesbian three-way… but that’s obviously complete speculation. The Enquirer also has a story about Pink flirting with Ronson at a party on June 4th. Supposedly Lindsay bugged Samantha in her DJ booth until Pink eventually gave up and walked away.

The story doesn’t sound all that true – simply because Lohan is known more for freaking out and screaming at the top of her lungs when someone tries to even talk to Samantha. Pestering her for attention doesn’t seem like Lohan’s style. At least she’s still got some drama – the most important ingredient for a Lohan relationship.

Here’s Lindsay and Samantha on the set of her new movie “Labor Pains” on Tuesday. Images thanks to Splash.

In many ways it seems like Lindsay Lohan’s relationship with deejay Samantha Ronson is probably the healthiest one she’s ever been in. Though the two have yet to come out publicly as a couple – and Lohan has never acknowledged her (likely) bisexuality or lesbianism – it seems like their relationship is remarkably strong and fairly stable, at least as a Lohan affair goes. According to several of their friends, they key to their happiness is trust – the pair have been friends for years.

Why does Lindsay Lohan spend so much time with good pal Samantha Ronson?

“Lindsay just feels safe with her,” socialite – and Lohan friend – Cory Kennedy told PEOPLE at Billabong’s 2nd Annual Design for Humanity Event Wednesday night in Hollywood. “I just feel like they have a very loyal and trustworthy relationship, which is really hard to come across in the world that Lindsay’s in. It’s a trust thing.”

[From People]

It seems like Lindsay and Samantha’s friends are trying to be sort of discreet by not actually calling them a couple or saying they have a romantic relationship, but still want to make it known that they’re supportive of the pair.

“DJ Steve Aoki, a close friend of both Lohan and Ronson, said their bond is easy to understand.

[Samantha] truly is a friend to her,” he explained. “She’s a very positive influence …. [Lindsay] sees that and sees a genuine, good friendship.”

“I think the most important thing in a relationship is, really, trust,” agreed Kennedy. “I feel like that’s what their relationship thrives on. I love the fact that they’re both really happy.”

[From People]

Though it is a little unusual to go from dating just men to women, it definitely happens, especially around Lindsay’s age. 21 is a pretty common time to figure out your sexuality. I do find it interesting that so many articles are calling Lohan gay, when it’s just as possible that she’s bisexual. Or perhaps she doesn’t feel the need to define her sexuality, and just goes with what works for her. Either way, it seems like she’s pretty happy and relatively drama-free, for a Lohan. Whatever influence Samantha has had on her seems to only be good.

Things really do seem to be moving forward in the relationship between Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. The two have shied away from media attention – I often forget that he’s even seeing someone. And while there was a round of rumors earlier this year that Justin had cheated on Jessica with Kate Hudson, apparently everything has been going well since then. Jessica is moving in to Justin’s six bedroom Hollywood Hills home – a step Justin has never taken before, even with ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz, who he dated for four years.

Justin Timberlake can no longer call his house a bachelor pad — he’s asked his girlfriend, Jessica Biel, to move in! “Jessica is preparing to live in Justin’s Hollywood Hills home,” an insider tells In Touch. “They’re both really excited.” But the 26-year-old actress is also hanging on to her own Brentwood, Calif., digs. “Jessica’s giving the house to her parents and brother because she doesn’t want to sell it,” the insider adds.

It’s a big deal for Justin, 27, who has never taken this relationship step before, but the insider insists that he’s ready. “They’re definitely headed for marriage,” the insider says. “Moving in is just the beginning.” So how does the couple — who have been together since January 2007 — make it work? “They avoid the spotlight as much as possible,” the insider adds. The couple has been apart while Jessica’s been filming in South Carolina. There’s plenty of room for Jess in Justin’s six-bedroom mansion.

[From In Touch]

It’s been widely rumored that Justin is going to propose to Jessica in the very near future, and moving in together seems like a logical step in that process. It’s also indicative of just how seriously they both must be taking the relationship. It’s good that Jessica’s not giving up her home yet. Hopefully thing will work out well for them.

John Mayer is photographed hugging another woman at Courtney Cox’s house

John Mayer has met the parents. But since Jennifer Aniston doesn’t really talk to her parents (or her mother anyway), Mayer met Jen’s equivalent: BFF Courteney Cox and husband David Arquette. As was reportedly the plan according to Mike Walker of the National Enquirer, Cox had Mayer and Aniston over for dinner, as her way of welcoming him into their group of friends/officially evaluating him.

Jennifer Aniston’s burgeoning romance with singer John Mayer must be getting serious - she’s introduced him to her best friend Courteney Cox. After taking their cross-State romance from Miami to New York, Aniston and Mayer made their Los Angeles debut as a couple with a laid-back romantic weekend. On Sunday, Mayer drove his new girlfriend to the beachside Malibu home of her closest pal and ex-Friends co-star Cox and her husband David Arquette for an evening dinner. Complimenting her new boyfriend’s laid back style, Aniston sported a white vest and blue cardigan with sunglasses as they enjoyed the sunny day.

Cox, 43, is said to be very protective of Aniston, who she supported following her high-profile marriage split with Brad Pitt in 2005. The Dirt actress was rumoured to have disapproved of Aniston’s last long-term boyfriend Vince Vaughn, who she dated for 18 months before splitting in December 2006.

On Saturday night, Aniston and Mayer enjoyed an intimate meal at the exclusive Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel, before the tattooed rocker drove them home to the actress’ mansion in the Hollywood hills. The following day, Mayer took the steering wheel again as they rode in his Porsche Cayenne Turbo to the Cox-Arquettes’ gated beachside home, where they live with their young daughter Coco, who is Aniston’s goddaughter.

[From the Daily Mail]

According to the Enquirer, Mayer was fairly nervous about meeting Cox, and was well aware that it was Aniston’s equivalent of meeting her family. Apparently Courteney is quite the mother hen. Which is sweet, since Jen isn’t close with her family – but doesn’t help their reputation of being overly bonded/fairly co-dependent. But it’s good that Jennifer has someone looking out for her, as long as she still makes her own decision and doesn’t consider anyone’s word gold.

Jen and John seem pretty darn happy together, though it seems like everyone is still pretty worried about the match. John’s got quite the reputation as a player. But no one really knows what it is Jen wants from him. It seems like everyone assumes she wants a relationship because of the tabloids are always painting her in a “poor pathetic single Jennifer Aniston” light. She could very well be happy as a clam and just want to hang out and have some fun. And John Mayer seems pretty good for that. Just nothing more.

The paps managed to get photos of Mayer, Cox, and Arquette having dinner at their home but somehow Aniston managed to stay indoors the whole time. John is seen hugging an older woman – not Aniston - according to Splash. Images thanks to Splash.

Jessica Simpson has dialed up the crazy. Or dialed it down, depending on your perspective and who you believe. According to several sources, Simpson has warned Jennifer Aniston to stay away from former boyfriend John Mayer. But Simpson’s friends claim it’s not what you think – Jess is just super concerned for Jennifer. What a way to spin it.

Jessica Simpson is trying to warn Jennifer Aniston to be careful with new man John Mayer, because he is a notorious “ladies man”.

The wannabe country singer, who is currently dating American football star Tony Romo, was said to be jealous that her ex-boyfriend Mayer is dating the Friends star, but sources claim the green-eyed monster people are seeing is actually just concern.

A source says via Transworld News: “Jessica wants Jen to be aware of what she’s letting herself get into with John. She doesn’t want her to make the same mistakes. John is a ladies man.”

Others are also letting the rocker’s true colours be known, with a friend of Mayer adding: “He’ll spend every waking minute talking to someone and spending time with them and then move on to the next girl,” said the friend.

[From Entertainmentwise]

Okay, a couple things here. To be fair, what was supposedly said is consistent with John Mayer’s general reputation. However if they ever had a battle of the I.Q.s, I’d put my money on Jennifer Aniston. My point being I’m pretty sure she knows John Mayer’s reputation. Either Aniston is just looking for a good time right now, or she thinks she can change him. But after Brad Pitt and her other love debacles, I’m guessing Jen is smart enough to know that’s a waste of time.

Jessica Simpson letting Jennifer Aniston know that John Mayer is a player is like her calling Jen up to remind her that she has hair on her head. It’s just a major “duh” statement. Which makes me think either Simpson’s people are trying to spin some rumor to her benefit… or Jessica Simpson is just as dumb as we all thought. And to think, Papa Joe once infamously claimed to Vanity Fair that Jess had an I.Q. of 160…
