Celebrity splits, autumn 09

    Splitly Come Dancing's Ricky Whittle is the latest to be struck by the infamous curse. Seems he got carried away with the bump, grind and one-on-one training seshes, ditching his Hollyoaks co-star girlfriend Carley Stenson to hook up with Aussie-born dance partner Natalie Lowe… less than a week later.

    …while the curse seems to stalking Kristina Rihanoff and her latest work-related squeeze, Joe Calzaghe - the boxing champ was recently seen canoodling with another woman, and despite being snapped with his Siberian stunner looking like nothing happened - a mere two days later - the rumour mill has gone into overdrive, with claims the fling could be one big publicity stunt.

    With more twists than Timberlake's curly locks, the drama that is Justica was plagued with break-up chatter all last month. Trousersnake's grandma even thew in her two cents with this clanger: "As far as we're concerned, he's always been single.'" Ouch. But Jessica and Justin put paid to the rumours last week, looking like love's young dream at a Jay-Z concert in LA.

    With no official annoucement they were even together in the first place, back in October America's OK! Magazine dished that Twilight stars R-Patz and KStew had split - just as the massive publicity campaign for their latest movie was kicking off…spooky coincidence or cynical stunt, what do you think?

    It looks like Toni Braxton might need her heart unbreaking. She's reportedly separated from her husband of 9 years, Keri Lewis. After bankruptcy and the foreclosure on her Hollywood home, let's hope the platinum-selling diva isn't heading for a messy meltdown.

    Pulling off the relationship upgrade of the season, girl next door LeAnn Rimes closed the book on her butter wouldn't melt image by unceremoniously dumping her dweeby husband Dean Sheremet…

    …to shack up with Hollywood heartthrob Eddie Cibrian, who, in a cunningly-synchronised move, sent wife Brandi Glanville packing, a week before the Rimes/Sheremet split was announced.

    Though they separated over 10 years ago, Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner only got round to filing divorce papers on his second wife Kimberly Conrad in September. Now the only thing he's got to worry about is choosing which one of his three live-in girlfriends will be his third.

    After a whirlwind summer romance, it would appear Renee Zellweger is about as hapless in love as Bridget Jones, with word that serial dater Bradley Cooper has given her the heave-ho. A 'source' claimed, "Bradley is enjoying his status as a hot successful star and doesn't want to settle". At least Jennifer Aniston can breathe a sigh of relief she's no longer Hollywood's most dumped…

    Golf legend Grey Norman and equally legendary tennis pro Chris Evert shocked the sporting world in October with news they were separating after only 15 months of marriage. And if they do actually decide to divorce, it could hurt Norman's wallet as much as his heart - his break with former missus Laura Andrassy cost him dearly, to the tune of $100 million.
