Calling Jerry Springer: Shania Twain Dating Husband's Mistress' Husband

Karl Erikson — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:34:00 GMT

If there's any way to make country music trashier, then leave it to Shania Twain and her husband Mutt Lange to make it happen. Shania, 43, mother of 7-year-old Eja D'Angelo, is now dating her husband's mistress' husband! Granted, Mutt was cheating first - his mistress, Marie-Anne Thiebaud - is said to have broken up Shania's marriage of 15 years.

While the couple lived in their private Swiss compound, Mutt cheated with his estate manager, who was married. Classy. Shania and Mutt were friends with the other woman and her family. If that wasn't a betrayal, then I don't know what is. But it doesn't stop there.

Now Shania is dating the hubby or her ex's new girlfriend. She was seen at an airport in Florida recently, having lunch and laughing with the dude. Since there isn't a whole lot of paparazzi coverage in Key West, the couple thought they were safe from the cameras. Not so much.

Mutt Lange denies the affair, saying, "The whole story was just a story as we are just friends in the same way Shania and Fred [Theibaud] are."

Um, yeah. Friends. With benefits.

What a lovely holiday story, eh?

Shania Twain's 5 Step Recovery After Cheating Spouse Breaks Her Heart

Sassy Smith — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 16:03:00 GMT

Country music star Shania Twain and her producer husband, "Mutt" Lange announced their split back in May. It was reported that Lange had cheated on Twain with long time friend and personal secretary, Marie Ann Thiebaud, however both denied the rumors. A source close to those involved said, "Mutt and Marie Ann left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship." Ouch. So how has Shania handled the last few months?

More photos after the jump!

Star magazine writes Shania's 5 Step To A Rockin' Recovery:

#1 Regain your independence:

According to reports, Shania was very much controlled by Mutt in most aspects of her life. A source said, "He would restrict how much Shania could travel, what she could eat, even which friends she could see!

"He was a very jealous guy and didn't like her associating with her male pals. He is a real loner, and as a result, he tried to isolate Shania as well. Now she's making her own decisions again."

# 2 Improve your body and mind:

Shania had lost weight after the breakup says a close pal, but "she pulled herself together, put the pounds she lost back on, and now she looks absolutely fantastic!

"She loves her curves, and she feels sexy and young again." Shania returned to her hometown of Huntsville, Ontario, and kept busy over the summer, playing golf and tennis and doing yoga. The source adds, "She also spent time talking with a spiritual counselor in the months after the breakup. It was a real comfort to Shania and helped her stay centered."

# 3 Find strength in your family:

Shania brought her 7-year-old son Eja with her to Ontario. The friend says, "She's a fantastic mom, and Eja is her rock. He is the secret weapon that really kept Shania going through her darkest days.

"They spent a wonderful summer together, and now that he's back in his Swiss private school, Shania will be going back and forth between Switzerland and Canada."

Shania is also close to her sisters, Jill and Carrie-Ann. "She always has their 100 percent support and love."

# 4 Don't count out romance:

Twain's friend says that although the breakup was hard, she's not counting out finding love again.

"It took a while, but now that she's feeling so much better about herself, Shania has told her pals that she's ready to get back on the dating scene. She'd even consider a younger man!

"She's not ruling out giving love another chance. I think she'd be thrilled to find a man who would appreciate her for who she is and not try to change her."

# 5 Plan that big comeback:

David Scarlett, senior editor of Country Weekly, said Shania's recent standing ovation at the CMA awards was well deserved.

"Not just because of the respect due to the top-selling female solo artist of all time, but mostly for the sincere affection of the country music community and her fans."

The source adds that Shania is working on a new album that will have songs that address her marriage breakup.

Scarlett adds, "Her comeback could be huge!"

Hopefully Shania and Mutt can have a civil divorce and remember to put their son first.

Jail Time For Heather Locklear?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:08:00 GMT

Actress Heather Locklear was arrested on September 27 for suspicion of driving under the influence in Montecito. A photog called 911 saying that Locklear was "driving erratically." She's now been formally charged by the Santa Barbara Police Department for driving under the influence of drugs. The drugs were prescription meds.

The incident occurred two months after the 47-year-old completed four weeks of treatment for anxiety and depression. She could, if convicted, face up to six months in jail.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter said, "Lab tests showed she had no alcohol in her system and no illegal narcotics of any kind." No word on what specific medications were taken or what amounts.

Carter added, "We believe that the prescriptions she was taking could have impaired her ability to drive a motor vehicle safely."

Heather's arraignment is slated for January 26 in Santa Barbara Superior Court.

I like her - she's one of the few celebrities that has stayed under the radar without much incident. I hope her daughter Ava is okay through all of this!

Who Is Cindy McCain Kissing? (Hint: It's Not John McCain!!)

Sassy Smith — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:08:00 GMT

Sen. John McCain's wife, Cindy, has been caught in a steamy lip-lock with a man other than her husband. There are reportedly several eye-witnesses to their steamy embrace and there are photographs as well. No word on who exactly the dude is, but he apparently resembles a "washed-up 80s rock musician." Perhaps the 54-year-old Cindy is looking to recapture her youth? I'm guessing her family might not be impressed by this....

Photo after the jump!

Sure, it's grainy and it's The Enquirer reporting it, but according to their source (who took the photo), it is indeed Cindy McCain slipping some tongue to a mystery guy. As well, multiple witnesses have caught the pair kissing on several other occasions.

The photog of the pic said, "I couldn't believe I was watching Cindy McCain passionately kissing and hugging another man!"

Other sources (I want names dammit!) told The Enquirer investigative team that McCain and her unidentified guy have been seen at concerts and sporting events acting "very lovey-dovey." They've also been spotted together in her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona over the past few years.

Mind you, the photo is from April 1, 2006 - maybe Cindy and John were on a break (you know, like Ross and Rachel) during that time. Maybe after raising 4 kids she wanted to let loose. Maybe she was into the wine that night. I don't know. Maybe it's not even her.

The photog added, "To my amazement, Cindy had her hand on his shoulder and was kissing him passionately on his lips." Another eye-witness said that Cindy and "her mystery man" were at a Moody Blues concert "passionately kissing and hugging.

"I couldn't believe it. I remember thinking, 'Go get a room!'

"They kissed and cuddled. While other concertgoers stood up to cheer and sing, Cindy and the guy remained entwined in their seats."

A McCain spokesperson declined comment on the allegations.

If it is really her, and she's really doing that, what is wrong with these famous people who don't seem to take their committments very seriously (and hello? are they not aware that people might recognize them?). They have children to think about (even if they are older, it still sucks when your parents mess up in their relationship). Hopefully she's not following down the same path as Mel Gibson and U2's Bono (allegedly).

Heather Locklear DUI: Cop Takes Pics With Personal Cell Phone

Sassy Smith — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:09:00 GMT

Heather Locklear was pulled over last weekend for suspicion of DUI - it's since been determined that she was not drinking but seemed "disoriented" and believed to be under the influence of some sort of controlled substance. And while it's probably procedure in some cases for officers to have video and/or photos of arrests (with a dash-cam for instance), it's probably not legit for one of the arresting officers to be taking photos with a personal cell phone. Something smells bad....

According to TMZ (and the photo clearly shows), the CHP officer is snapping pics of Locklear with a cell phone before she gets handcuffed. And it could be legit had it been a department issued phone but it's not - it's the personal cell phone of the police officer.

Santa Barbara officials claim that the officer was taking photos to document the scene - for evidence purposes and also to protect the officers in the event that Locklear claims inpropriety.

Officials say that the video and photos will be turned over to the D.A's office as evidence and nothing improper was done. However, TMZ spoke with several CHP officers who say that cops should not be using their personal cell phones to snap pics especially when a celebrity is involved.

Seems fishy to me - sure, if it was a CHP issued camera, then that would be one thing, but photos taken with an officer's personal phone - not buying that it's a legit procedure!

People Are Still Willing to Pay John Edwards to Speak

Karl Erikson — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 14:31:00 GMT

Yeah, we're scratching OUR heads, too. John Edwards has been hired to speak at the University of Illinois in October. I can't imagine he's speaking on morality. In fact, I can't imagine anyone wanting to hear him speak at all, unless they're in it for the Train Wreck Effect. Edwards, 55 and father of three, will forever be famous for $400 haircuts and being a scumbag who cheats on his cancer-stricken wife. But get this...they're paying him $65,000 dollars!

I may not like the man, but I can't blame him for taking the money and running. After all, he's going to be hard-pressed to get paid doing anything else these days. You know you messed up bad when even the politicians are shunning you.

John Edwards Mistress Tells All

Photo: Who is Rielle Hunter

John Edwards' Mistress Tells All

Sassy Smith — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:05:00 GMT

John Edwards has come forward, admitted and released a statement (although he still denies being the father of her baby girl), that he and Rielle Hunter, his former "campaign photographer," were having an affair while his wife Elizabeth was battling cancer. However, as horrible as that sounds, there's more. Hunter has reportedly come forward to give more details in the sorrid affair....

According to the National Enquirer, the day before Edwards gave his statement on ABC's Nightline, Hunter and daugther Frances, 6-months, were flown from the US (on a chartered Learjet, which was only $50,000 - paid by Edwards' friends) to St. Croix.

The Enquirer had "spies" track down Hunter and found her and baby at a luxury oceanfront home owned by trial lawyer Lee Rohn, who is a close friend to Edwards. A National Enquirer reporter approached Rohn, who gave a tense "No comment!" when asked about Rielle. Shortly after, Rielle was moved to a motel for a few days and then returned to Santa Barbara on August 17. And Rielle now has an off-duty police officer guarding her home.

And how does all of this get paid for? John Edwards' "network of loyal supporters." Also, according to sources, there are a team of six lawyers who've been involved in the coverup and are helping funnel payments to Hunter, who has no source of income at this time.

Rielle Hunter's lawyer had suggested that she ask Edwards to take a paternity test but she's so far refused - believing that he'll marry her after the death of his wife Elizabeth, who is battling cancer. OMG - they're waiting for Elizabeth to die??? John is, allegedly, still in contact with Rielle. Shameful!

A pal of Rielle's told The Enquirer that when Edwards met Rielle, "She wanted to pick him up. According to her, the chemistry was instant.

"They ended up sleeping together that night!"

After Rielle was hired to shoot behind-the scenes- video for the Presidential campaign, "A friend kidded her she was actually shooting 'between-the-sheets' videos!"

Ugh - this whole thing is so skeezy - any man who would have an affair with another woman when his wife is battling cancer, is a lowlife - presidential candiate (former) or not.

Elizabeth Edwards - you could (and deserve) do so much better!

Rielle Hunter Calls 911

No Paternity Test For Edwards

trix — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:26:00 GMT

It seems to me, that it's a long step down from presidential candidate to baby daddy, but I guess we'll never know.

We now know that John Edwards admitted to having an affair with Rielle Hunter in 2006 but he denies that he is the father of her 5 month old baby. He said on "Nightline" that he would be willing to take a paternity test to prove that he is not the father of her baby. What did Rielle say to that?

No way jose! Not those words exactly, but you get the point. She didn't actually say anything, her lawyer issued a statement for her saying, "Rielle is therefore making no statement now or in the future, furthermore, Rielle will not participate in DNA testing or any other invasion of her or her daughter's privacy now or in the future." So it's a statement of a non statement.

What, no test? Why not? Why doesn't she want him to take a test? Could it mean that she knows the it's not his baby, like he says?

Even his wife believes him and she knows that he's a cheater, she said, ""This was our private matter, and I frankly wanted it to be private because as painful as it was I did not want to have to play it out on a public stage as well, because of a recent string of hurtful and absurd lies in a tabloid publication, because of a picture falsely suggesting that John was spending time with a child it wrongly alleged he had fathered outside our marriage, our private matter could no longer be wholly private."

I guess there will only be one person who knows for sure.

She Had Twins, Now She Wants To Get Pregnant Again!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 11:12:00 GMT

Wow, the celebrities sure are on a baby craze! What beautiful actress is wanting to add to her ever growing brood? She's given birth twice, once being with twins (yup, a boy and a girl) and now she wants to give birth for a fourth time.....

Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder are hoping to conceive baby number four by the end of summer. They have three children - twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, 3, and Henry, 1, and would love to have another daughter.

We'll wish them luck (and fun trying!) for that fourth child.

Oh for serious, you didn't think I meant Angelina ~~yes that was the angle I was playing~~? Not yet, but I'm sure they'll be adding to their family as well!

Cheating John Edwards Releases A Statement

Sassy Smith — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 05:04:00 GMT

Former presidential candidate and cheating husband, John Edwards has released a formal statement in regards to his affair with Rielle Hunter. He denies that he is the father of her child. Did you hear that? It was the sound of my eyes rolling....

He said:

"In 2006, I made a serious error in judgment and conducted myself in a way that was disloyal to my family and to my core beliefs. I recognized my mistake and I told my wife that I had a liaison with another woman, and I asked for her forgiveness. Although I was honest in every painful detail with my family, I did not tell the public. When a supermarket tabloid told a version of the story, I used the fact that the story contained many falsities to deny it. But being 99 percent honest is no longer enough.

I was and am ashamed of my conduct and choices, and I had hoped that it would never become public. With my family, I took responsibility for my actions in 2006 and today I take full responsibility publicly. But that misconduct took place for a short period in 2006. It ended then. I am and have been willing to take any test necessary to establish the fact that I am not the father of any baby, and I am truly hopeful that a test will be done so this fact can be definitively established. I only know that the apparent father has said publicly that he is the father of the baby. I also have not been engaged in any activity of any description that requested, agreed to or supported payments of any kind to the woman or to the apparent father of the baby.

It is inadequate to say to the people who believed in me that I am sorry, as it is inadequate to say to the people who love me that I am sorry. In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic. If you want to beat me up — feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself. I have been stripped bare and will now work with everything I have to help my family and others who need my help.

I have given a complete interview on this matter and having done so, will have nothing more to say."

"You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself" <-----I love that line. Makes me want to get my violin out.

Edwards Admits Affair

Whit Honea — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 20:01:00 GMT

John Edwards may have effectively ended any chance he had at being added to Barack Obama's ticket by admitting that the constant rumors surrounding him are true.

Kind of.

According to Cover Awards: John Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff that “he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.”

However, Edwards denies that Hunter's child is his. He has not taken a paternity test.

Edwards' wife Elizabeth is currently battling cancer, and we assume a broken heart.

John Edwards & His Love Child - Photo!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 02:46:00 GMT

Rumors have been swirling that former presidential candidate, John Edwards has a love child with Rielle Hunter - and now a photo has surfaced that is fueling fire to that rumor. It may just be the truth after all!

Photo after the jump!

The pic from the National Enquirer is grainy but it does show Edwards holding baby Frances Quinn at the Beverly Hilton hotel in LA during a visit last month to Rielle.

An insider tells the gossip mag, "These photos are damning proof. He's been caught lying about his affair with Rielle [Hunter] and their love child for many months - and now the proof against him is piling up. His elaborate coverup is unraveling at the seams."

We're not sure if this is 100% true - but if it is, talk about gross. Edwards' wife Elizabeth has been fighting breast cancer since November of 2004 - dealing with chemo and radiotherapy, so nice of her husband to step out on her and make a child. And if it's true, then John needs to grow a pair and step up to the plate and deal with the situation and take care of his daughter.

[Source]

Sassy Smith — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 16:37:00 GMT

John Edwards, I'm guessing, might be in a bit of hot water. It seems the former senator and presidential candidate has been busy - busy cheating on his wife Elizabeth, fathering a love child with his mistress and busy paying her off.

Rielle Hunter is the alleged mistress of Edwards (and she's the former videographer of Edward's presidental campaign) and she's apparently been receiving $15,000 a month from him to keep her from discussing their relationship or their (alleged) child. According to The Enquirer, the money is being funneled to Hunter by a wealthy friend, who had ties with Edwards' campaign.

That's not all though! This man is also paying John's friend and former aide, Andrew Young, to take the heat and claim that he is the father of Hunter's child.

A source told The Enquirer, "A super-rich pal - who was closely involved with the campaign finances - is helping John. It's likely this man doesn't know all the dirty details of John's extramarital affair, but is acting out of loyalty and is not asking a lot of questions - only writing the checks."

As well, the Charlotte Observer is reporting that the 'love child' doesn't have a father listed on the birth certificate. The certificate indicates that Frances Quinn Hunter was born on February 27 to Rielle Hunter, in Santa Barbara, California, two months after John's aide, Andrew Young claimed to be the daddy.

When asked (by the Charlotte Observer), the attorney for Hunter said, "A lot of women do that."

And when it was pointed out that Rielle revealed the identity of the father two months prior, the lawyer said, "That's a personal matter between them."

Ah huh. Does something smell bad to you? That's what I thought.

I'm guessing this means that Edwards (if this is all true) doesn't spend time with his child? I suppose not, since he's covering it up.

John Edwards, thus far, has not made any public comments regarding these allegations.

Mama's Revenge! C-Rod Hits A-Rod Where It Hurts!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:36:00 GMT

I think there's a nasty storm brewing - storm, as in, the Cynthia & Alex Rodriguez divorce. Allegations of cheating on both sides - he more so than her perhaps, but cheating is cheatng, romps with strippers and music stars and now reports that Cynthia is taking her revenge on her soon-to-be ex-husband, by hitting him where it hurts the most - his bank account and more importantly, their children.

A-Rod sources report that Cynthia has gone on a spiteful spending spree in Paris. Rodriguez allegedly used Alex's credit card to rack up $100,000 worth of goodies and services.

A pal said, "She's been spending wildly. She spent close to $100,000 on her jaunt to Paris." Cynthia flew Dodd and Sabrina Romera, her daughter's godparents, first-class to Paris. She also treated herself to spa treatments and ate out at the very best restaurants. Adds the friend, "She originally was going to head to Spain, where Lenny Kravitz was touring."

Cynthia is also keeping the ballplayer from seeing his kids. The friend said, "Alex desperately wanted to see his children while she was in Paris. She blocked him. She said, 'You cannot see them.'"

Alex's friend continued, "She needs four lawyers in two different states? That's not the dream team, it's the greed team."

Whether these two cheated, or only one of them did or they didn't, I don't know, and okay, they can't repair their broken marriage - but for the love of all that is good, don't take this out on the kids. They deserve both parents!

It's still up for debate whether Alex Rodriguez cheated on his baby mama and wife, Cynthia, with mega popstar Madonna, however there's apparently no denying that A-Rod had some fun with a stripper. Actually, it was two....

The third-baseman for the Yankees was in Toronto back in 2004 (he married Cynthia in November of 2002), and was caught with a blonde stripper - it made national news. Now, another stripper has come forward in Massachusetts to say she had a one night - well actually two night - stand with the 32-year-old ball player. Oh he's a player all right.

Candice Houlihan claims that she met Alex prior to the legendary Yankee-Sox brawl and that the two clicked. Candice was a stripper at the club called Centerfolds.

Houlihan told the Boston Herald:

"It was killing me and I felt bad afterwards,” she said. “I’m not a bad person. I know how it feels to be cheated on, it sucks. But a couple of drinks later, I didn’t notice all that much, to tell you the truth.”

Houlihan said A-Rod had a couple of shots of tequila and a few Sex on the Beach cocktails, then they went back to A-Rod’s room at the Ritz-Carlton and had sex. But, she added, they also talked all night and seemed to hit it off.

“I told him I was a basketball player in high school and we talked a lot about that,” she said. “It’s a little weird because he was a really nice guy.”

Oh this is gonna be one messy divorce! A-Rod's in some deep sh*t.

Heather Locklear - Tired, Pale & Skinny

Sassy Smith — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 15:09:00 GMT

Heather Locklear recently requested an in-depth evaluation of her meds and she voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility for anxiety and depression. An onlooker who saw the celebrity mom, said that Locklear was dressed casually in sweats and a tee and although, "even with no makeup she was beautiful," they noted she looked "tired, pale and very skinny." However, the 46-year-old actress had her spirits lifted - she was paid a visit from a very sexy man....

....actor, Jack Wagner, 48, stopped by the Arizona facility, to see his lady love. The couple hadn't seen each other since June 19, and they spent a few hours together on Sunday, having lunch and chatting.

A source said, "He looked like he was taking care of her. It was very sweet. He made her laugh."

Besides boyfriend Jack, Heather's ex-husband, Richie Sambora has said he will stand by the mom of his daughter, Ava.

A friend said, "Heather has a few really close, trustworthy friends who are very protective and are pulling for her. What she's doing is so brave. Are some days tougher than others? Yes. But it will all be worth it when she's back to being able to really feel the joy in every day."

When will Heather be released? "Once she's feeling better," says the friend, "She'll come home."

I'm rooting for Heather - and no wonder the poor woman is anxious and depressed - when your good friend (and husband at the time) get a little too close for comfort, well, that's enough to make anyone sad! Hopefully Richie redeems himself by supporting her.

"Mutt" Is A Real Dog - He Cheated On Shania Twain?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 20 May 2008 18:34:00 GMT

Sexy superstar Shania Twain and her husband "Mutt" Lange announced their split a few days ago. Lange issued a statement to PEOPLE, saying, it was "an unfortunate thing. It's literally just a growing apart, that's all." However, sources close to the couple say that the growing apart was more like a third person involved. How could he cheat on Shania?

An insider says that Mutt allegedly became involved with Marie Ann Thiebaud - she's the woman who managed the couple's chateau in Switzerland and was also a personal, longtime secretary. Now that's low! Says the insider, "Mutt and Marie Ann left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship."

Lange however, denies the rumor that Thiebaud is the reason for the split, saying, "It's absolutely not the reason [for the separation]." He also denies the affair ever happened. Marie Ann has not made a comment.

I hope whatever the reason for the breakup, this couple can make their separation as painless for their 6-year-old son Eja D’Angelo as is possible.

Reese Witherspoon: Bully My Kids, Please!

HerBadMother — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:25:00 GMT

Reese Witherspoon says that she hopes that her kids get teased and bullied.

Speaking about her new film, Penelope, about a girl named Penelope, who ends up with a pig’s nose and ears as the result of a family curse, Reese said:

“We all sort of deal with that in our own childhood or raising children. I wouldn’t want my kids to miss out on any of that teasing and bullying. It makes you who you are–when you don’t make the soccer team and you can’t… The thing that drives me crazy today is everyone wins the award. Everyone wins an MVP. No. They’re not! I distinctly recall the two weeks of crying because I didn’t make the volleyball team. It made me interesting.

I like Reese Witherspoon, really I do. But I think that she may be a little confused here. Not making the volleyball team? That's a childhood disappointment (and for the record, I agree with her statement that children need to learn to cope with such disappointments.) Getting teased and bullied, especially for one's personal appearance, on any kind of consistent basis? That can be a childhood trauma, and one that no-one should wish on anyone. Character-building, my ass: being the bullied scapegoat in childhood or adolescence can leave lasting scars.

It's a bit trite to say that it's just too easy for a beautiful, wealthy young mother - who almost certainly never got bullied herself, and whose kids really are unlikely to get pantsed in the schoolyard every week for having pig's noses - to wax philosophic about bullying, but I'll say it anyway: someone for whom the most distressing moment in childhood was not making the volleyball team? Does not have the necessary perspective to say that a little bullying never hurt anyone.

Ryan Phillippe Dishing On His Divorce From Reese Witherspoon

Sassy Smith — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:04:00 GMT

Actor Ryan Phillippe - who I might add, is looking hot in that pic - spoke to W magazine and he dished about his marriage and subsequent divorce from Reese Witherspoon. The 33-year-old defends Abbie Cornish, who was rumored to have come between Ryan and Reese. He said, "I had difficulties in my relationship, and my marriage, long before I met her." Here's what else he had to say:

On his divorce from Reese Witherspoon:
"It was the darkest, saddest place I had ever been. There was a good four or five months of not being able to get out of bed. It was the worst time in my life."

On reports that Abbie was the reason for his divorce:

"It was unfair for her to be called the names that she was, because it wasn't about that. I don't think an outside person can ever cause a divorce... [It was] far more complicated and far less interesting than it's made out to be. To look and search for these salacious reasons, to pin it on a person, or a moment in someone's life, it's not realistic."

On how daughter Ava, 8, and son Deacon, 4 handled the split:
"I wanted to take time to make sure that my kids were OK and to build a new life that was going to be suitable to being a single parent... [Reese and I] have done a really good job of keeping things peacable and completely focused on [the children]."

Britney's Boyfriend's Wife REVEALED

Britney's "paparazzo boyfriend" Adnan Ghalib's wife has come forward. She's denying any part in the rumored financial scam to sell compromising photos of Britney Spears.

AzLynn Berry and Adnan are currently separated and she's moved out of L.A. to escape the glaring attention that Britney and her husband have caused. She told Access Hollywood in a phone interview, "I was chased down the street by two men in a BMW."

Yikes, I'd move too! I wonder how she feels about her husband and his possible slimeball antics with Britbrit? And, look at her! She's beautiful...why would Adnan want to get a hamburger when he's got STEAK at home? Geez.
