Back in December, we found out that Elizabeth Hurley is still pretty sleazy (Sleaz-E, her nickname). It seems Liz torpedoed her marriage to millionaire Arun Nayar when her affair with Australian womanizer/cricketer Shane Warne went public (photos below). The British tabloids caught Liz and Shane frolicking at some hotel, and shortly after the photos were published, Liz got all sanctimonious and released a statement saying that she and Arun had been separated for a while, and she was basically just out getting hers and we shouldn’t judge (to read more go to our Liz Hurley archives, I wrote a lot about it). Anyway, Liz has now officially filed for divorce, and she’s making Arun sound like the bad guy. In the divorce filing, she cites Arun’s “unreasonable behavior”. What could that be, Liz? It was so “unreasonable” for Arun to think Liz would NOT screw around? It was “unreasonable” that Arun’s family treated Liz like some British tart (which, obviously, they were right about)? It was “unreasonable” that Arun wasn’t as rich as Liz originally thought? Or, Liz thinks it’s “unreasonable” that Arun is moving on with a 25-year-old – while Liz and Shane Warne continue their very public affair? WTF?
Four months after announcing their split, Elizabeth Hurley filed for divorce from estranged husband Arun Nayar yesterday. The model/actress filed papers at London’s High Court citing the Indian textile heir’s ‘unreasonable behaviour’. The decision to formally end their union comes after just four years of marriage and amidst her burgeoning romance with Australian cricketer Shane Warne.
Hurley, 45, disclosed her split from Nayar, 46, in December after she was photographed kissing Warne, 41, in a London hotel. The Estee Lauder spokesmodel insisted she and Nayar had separated months earlier, but her husband was said to be upset by the photos.
However, Nayar has already been spotted dating model Kim Johnson, 25, in recent weeks. The Austin Powers star insisted this week on Twitter she would not be marrying Warne. She Tweeted: ‘Apparently I’m getting married & moving to Australia. Wow, my fictional tabloid life is exciting! Breathlessly awaiting next instalment…’
Hurley’s legal moves comes just days after she returned from Los Angeles, where she spent the past few weeks filming new TV series Wonder Woman. During her trip Stateside, Hurley has been spotted out and about with Warne – the first time she had seen him since her Valentine’s Day visit to Australia in February. The pair were first linked in July after Hurley was photographed chatting to Warne at the Glorious Goodwood Festival. Over the next few months, they exchanged flirty text messages on Twitter.
After the couple were photographed kissing in a London hotel in mid-December, the former actress decided to go public with her marriage breakdown from Nayar.
She announced she had split from Nayar on her Twitter page, writing: ‘For the record, my husband Arun and I separated a few months ago. Our close family and friends were aware of this.’
Around the same time, Warne confirmed he too was no longer with ex-wife Simone Callahan, having split up two months earlier despite continuing to live together in Melbourne with their children.
He wrote on his website: ‘Sadly and unfortunately, Simone and I split up a while ago, our close friends and family were informed at that time. It is a private matter so we did not make it public. We remain friends and will continue to be good parents.’

I doubt Liz is foolish enough to think that she and Shane Warne are going to live happily ever after. First, Liz is not a “happily ever after” kind of woman – she’s a drama queen, and Shane is good for drama. Second, Shane is still screwing anything with two legs and pulse, so it’s not like Liz is coming into this junk with any expectations of Shane’s fidelity. But is Liz just getting her rocks off? I might respect that, in general, if Liz didn’t come across looking so dumb. She’s dumb to get involved with such a notorious, cheesy, man-slut (with highlights). And she’s dumb to try to play the divorce like Arun did something wrong – she was the one outed, having an affair. Ugh. Sleaz-E.

“Shane is still screwing anything with two legs and a pulse”
To his credit I remember reading about his one night stand with a 65 year old Bulgarian woman sporting a prosthesis. As for the pics of him sneaking out of that mortuary at 2:00 A.M…..I’m not going to speculate.
Team Arun.
Mornin Rita! Loved your comment on the Leann thread (Dean would have to have a sense of humor after being marrried to Leann).
Do we know what actually happened between them? Must we always viciously blame the woman? Really?
Last time I checked the middle ages were over…
white dude is gross
She purposely set herself this kind of upper class persona, (she is from a solidly middle class background), giving herself airs and what not, and now hilariously she is shimming down the class ladder all the way to low!
Girafe99, dear, learn to spell, since English is obviously your mother tongue. Speaking of which, who gives a damn about “class”? Only the British, which is why they’ve shrunken back down to that cloudy little island. It’s the 21st century now (in case you hadn’t heard). Comments about “class” are just, well, classless.
Every time I see Elizabeth Hurley, she reminds me more and more of one of those real housewives of (insert your favorite city).
If “unreasonably behavior” is a valid reason for divorce, how can any marriage survive a moon cycle?
this post is way too sanctimonious, maybe they were separated already and maybe they separated because Arun was a twat. Maybe hod judgement until later?
Warne was an absolutely insanely good bowler, probably one of the best ever. But he was also known as the “bad boy” of cricket and for being a complete man-whore. He’s kind of like the Aussie cricket equivalent of Tiger Woods. Honestly, I think he and Liz deserve one another, which is to say that they don’t really deserve much of anything.
(By the way, I’m American, I just happen to be in the club of Americans who like cricket. We are a small club (membership two), but we are growing! I heard we might get one more member in the next year or two… or three… or never.)
It doesn’t surprise me her marriage is ending after frolicking about with Shane. Do you think we were harsh on Hugh Grant for mistaking Delores Brown for Liz?
I wouldn’t read too much into this. IN the UK you can’t cite “irreconcilable differences” as a reason for divorce and that’s why most couples (or whoever files) have to put some blame on the other party… It sounds insane but the law just won’t accept a “no blame” divorce…
Edited to add a quick link to what I am talking about: http://www.clough-willis.co.uk/personal-law-services/divorce-settlements-and-agreements.html
God I remember when these two got married, it was near where I live in Gloucestershire, UK. I can’t believe how long marriages last these days. It’s like they just get married for the attention and pageantry, and then the marriage is over when they stop getting attention for it and there’s nothing else to have a party over. Honestly, just think before you spend millions of £’s on something that’s a complete farce.
@Anon dear, please forgive me so kindly for my dreadful spelling, I bow down to your superior knowledge of my shrunken ‘cloudy’ island and the sociological arguments of the existence of class in modern society.
@BB: Thanks for the clarification on British divorces. Seems rather archaic to make the parties point fingers, but then having a monarchy seems rather archaic as well. 😉
I can’t hate on Elizabeth too much. We don’t know what their marriage was like at all. And the fact is, she and Hugh are still great friends after the demise of their relationship, which means to me that she can’t be really be all that awful.
EDIT: I am annoyed that blue eyeshadow looks so good on her. I have light blue/green eyes and similar coloring to her and it looks horrid on me. Can someone please explain??!
The skanky stuff may be fun when you’re younger but when you pass 40 or so, then your friends start to look at you and say “wow, that looks really stupid!”
I think it is interesting how with some celebrity couples, it is “hold judgement, we don’t know what the marriage was like”, while with others it is “how dare they cheat on or leave that amazing person”. No one knows the full truth behind any divorce, so no one should get judged in these types of situations.
Team Girafe99 🙂
@Anon, i never comment on these boards but your condescending attack on girafe99 is not only mean but completely unjustified. What i believe girafe99 was trying to say is that this is interesting because Liz Hurley is losing her grasp on the image she has always tried to cultivate. She has carefully and painstakingly cultivated an image that she comes from an upper class background and has very carefully courted the right people. She has invested an enormous amount of energy creating a ‘lady of the manor’ image, that is now slipping. Class is relevant here because it is obviously of huge importance to Liz Hurley. girafe99 was commenting on this rather than making any other oblique reference you seem to have objected to.
p.s. such unprovoked anti-british sentiment is uncalled for and tacky. much love from my ‘shrunken cloudy island.’
Hey Anon, we’re commenting on gossip here, not writing research papers. Relax and enjoy. Save the nit-picking for something that actually matters.
@geekchic my husband rounds out your Americans who love cricket gang. While the rest of this country is hooked on the angry birds, Georgie is screaming that he’s going to beat Bangladesh in iphone cricket. He’s also busy following the world cup (of cricket). We’ve attended pickup games in Jamaica & Bermuda. Gotta say, having a rum punch and a spliff brings alot of entertainment to what could be a boring afternoon.
@jess.
I was thinking the same thing.. It is funny how the view of break ups change depending on the window some people are looking through.
I was told as a child that looking through a window from the outside in is a lot different then looking from the inside out.
bottom line I guess is to stop looking through other people’s windows.
She is so trashy and low. Always thought so, and couldn’t believe how much the press ate her up when she first came on the scene. Guess the professional polish of being Hugh’s girlfriend has long since worn off.
As for Shane Warne, there are no words to adequately describe just how vile he is. The fact that she’s willingly sleeping with him says a lot about who she really is.
Hey Anon…the Brits are obsessed with class, its the way it is…I should know I share my office with a ‘newly landed one’ and have another Brit colleague across the hall, totally different social backgrounds and the dynamics are really interesting (and yes these are people in their 20’s). No biggie…as Maia Dylan explained the whole class construct REALLY matters to Liz Hurley, girlfriend acts like her stuff doesn’t stink, sets out to be the ‘lady of the manor’ – so to get caught out bonking hugely wealthy but severely ‘low brow’ Shane Warne is pretty funny. Yes he’s a ho but at least he admits it… 🙂
‘Cloudy little island…’ ROTFLMAO. Tis all right…I live in Aotearoa, land of the long white cloud…you ‘cloudy little island’ people are welcome to join me! 🙂
Anon: You think only the British care about class? You’re hilarious. Ask anyone from the Main line, Beacon Hill (is that the neighborhood in Boston; I forget), Highland Park (Dallas), and any socialite anywhere. They’re falling all over themselves trying to pretend they’re in a class above the great unwashed.
And, you showed YOUR lack of it with your post.
“As for the pics of him sneaking out of that mortuary at 2:00 A.M…..I’m not going to speculate.”
LMAO.
Okay, this is sorta off topic but not…can someone explain (or point me in the right direction to read) British class systems to me? I mean, is it a matter of there just being a supreme emphasis on what class your ancestry was and that it continues to define you, regardless of how well you personally succeed? I never paid much attention to this subject until Kate Middleton came along, and I remember being really confused as to why she was considered “middle class” when her parents are multimillionaires.
@DrM: Totally OT, but I love New Zealand. You’re lucky to live in such a gorgeous country. Haven’t been there since ’95, but hope to visit next year.
@Anon,
I don’t know where you are from, but I will assume The United States, with your comments about people’s spelling English, while noting that it may not even be their first language, and then your “there are no class structures anymore”.
If you suspect someone is using English as a second language, it would be nice to save your barbs for English speakers who spell atrociously. And as for class structures, if you ARE American, look around. If you don’t think there are “upper” and “lower” echelons of society, you must be in a cave away from society somewhere. It just isn’t as traditionally stated as the British do it.
Kazoo: Actually, you mostly have it. If you are born into an aristocratic family, you are considered upper class, whether you accomplish anything in your life or not. Ancestry/Old money/Old Land (land in your family for centuries) is everything. The Middletons will never be upper class; they were not born to it and being millionaires does not buy their entry into it. Even their daughter marrying into the pinacle of aristocracy (the royal family) will not ever make them upper class. Very harsh, indeed.
Liz has always been a woman searching for her next jump-off. She stayed with Hugh as long as she did at least in part because she hadn’t yet found anyone better and, at least at that time, he had a flourishing career. Then she met someone else, dropped Hugh, met someone else, met someone else, married Arun, stayed around until she met someone else. She’s fickle, yet she can’t be alone. It’s sadly fascinating.
@Kaiser – “Second, Shane is still screwing anything with two legs and pulse…”
I don’t believe having all of one’s limbs is a prerequisite for this guy, as they’re not the body part he’s after. xD Honestly, they should have this guy’s dong locked in a vault under the center for disease control, to protect us from a mass ‘biological attack’ via VD.
It was a futile attempt on her part to try to backtrack & place blame on Arun. SHE was the one caught cheating & lying. It’s insulting to our intelligence for her to think anyone with half a brain would buy that crap.
I hate the sort of person Liz is. I always thought she was so sexy in her movies, & adore her voice/accent. But she really is just way sleazy… to the point where she really isn’t attractive at all.
She’s a maneata.
Every time I look at Shane Warne, I think “herpes” ………
Thanks, JulieM! Wow, that’s pretty dismal and harsh.
So do Brits hold non-Brits to the same class standards?
Does anyone remember the housekeeper who came out against hurley and arun for paying ridiculously low wages? like 5 dollars a day or something. that is all i can think about when i see these two.
i think she fancies a man like hugh who will bend over backwards for her, who’s a little more dangerous and exciting, and will give her a permanent cliterection.
don’t we all? but she’s spoiled.
Liz Hurley, while pretty, isn’t really star-worthy anymore is she? I say let her have her fun. I mean Liz Taylor married how many times? Life is short. So she messes around. I don’t see who she is hurting. Arun maybe, but he’s living with someone now.
Sorry, I just don’t agree that fooling around is just worsted, awfullest thing in the whole world!! LOL And anyway, why the presumption she alone is at fault? Arun must like the trophy wife/gf/whatev since obviously he married Hurley, why on earth does the writer assume he was faithful? I just see a shallow relationship that’s run its course. The End.
@DrM: New Zealand high five!
I never cared for her. She has come off as quite smug, even during charity promotions. And she is not a good actor. I think she and Hugh Grant should get back together; they are perfect for each other.
Okay, I’m quite hungover, could someone please tell me what Girafe99 mispelled?
I used to think that Hurley could do a lot better than this man-whore, but given how long she’s been with him… She must be pretty gross.
Did Liz get Arun’s eyebrows in the divorce?
How unreasonable of him to expect her not to be a chav and pork every fat bogan she can find!
She’s also rumoured to be going on Auss Dancing with the (not very big) Stars. 😡 Gag.
OT: Nice to see more Kiwis around here, hi! 😀
As for Liz, meh, not a fan.
“unreasonable” is that dreadful flower on her head…
I think it takes two to tango and when marriages break up it is NEVER just one person’s fault despite Liz’s antics.
I can’t stand Liz, and her choice of man whoring Shane is bloody revolting and makes me gag. However,I feel her fling with Shane is really just her post marriage break up shag fest celebration/commiseration phase. Seeing as he is quite the good time man, she’s probably having a great time and good for her if that’s what she needs!
I’m probably the only one but I think she checked that box because he had unreasonable behavior that caused them to seperate months ago, before her relationship began.
I could be wrong, but even if she did cheat on Arun I think that by the time the photographs were published they were already seperated.
And as another commenter posted there isn’t a no blame divorce over there.
Crash- Do you ever try blending it with silvers and greys? It looks like that’s what Hurley does. Maybe you can find some silvery blue or smokey blue grey eyeshadow?
She is just a ho and her choice of ‘lover’ in Shane Warne only indicates how dirty (in the sense of repulsive and cheap) she really is.
She tried to score cash from the father of her son, Steve Bing.
I see no difference between her and a prostitute, but at least prostitutes are more honest about their professions. Hurley is just disgusting. She’ll leave her child on one side of the world, just to travel to Australia for a hook up with a disgusting ‘ocker’/bogan (Australian equivalent term for a chav)
Anon, go back and read Girafe99’s post. There is not one misspelled word.
@Anon:
Correcting someone’s spelling is a pretty snotty thing to do, especially if the error is minor. But in your case, it’s just hilarious, since there was nothing wrong with it in the first place. And you want to bitch about people putting on airs… hahahahaa.
@Anon: I hope you’ll excuse me, English is my second language and I don’t have a first.
I have always thought her a bit delusional in terms of her fame, particularly after this comment from a few years back:
“In the end, famous people only ever end up hanging out with other famous people or in private places because it’s just too exhausting to be stared at and bothered the whole time.”
I think she loves being famous but doesn’t have the talent to stay in the limelight for anything other than who she is dating.
Eww. How can anyone bang Shame (typo and it stays) Warne?? He must reek of cigarettes and sour defeat.
Hmm…Liz dated Arun while he was still with HIS former wife, they split, L and A marry, they split. Now L is dating a man still with his wife…ooookkkkk!
Team Giraffe on this one.
@Jazz, very witty!
Her giant child looks exactly like Steve Bing.
It never fails – every single picture I’ve seen of her shows her carefully smashed boobs and way too much eyemakeup.
