Another breakup for John Mayer
John Mayer and Minka Kelly have quietly called it quits after a brief romance. The musician, 30, and the 27-year-old Friday Night Lights actress split over a month ago, but are “still friends,” sources say. Despite their split, the two have remained close: Kelly showed her support for Mayer at his December concert in L.A. and accompanied him to the after-party at Parc where they got cozy in a booth together. The two were also spotted days later having breakfast in L.A. and also drinks at The Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood. According to a pal of Kelly’s, “Minka told a couple friends that she and John had broken up but she really didn’t want to tell anyone.” The couple became involved earlier this fall. They were spotted dining together several times in Austin, Texas, in early October and again later that month in California. They also met up with Chris Ivery and Ellen Pompeo at a Knicks game in New York in November. The split, however, may not last for long. When Mayer dated Jessica Simpson, the couple broke up and reunited numerous times before finally calling it quits for good. A rep for Mayer had no comment. Kelly’s rep couldn’t be reached for comment.
Pam goes forward with divorce
Pamela Anderson had divorce papers personally served to Rick Salomon on Dec. 28. The papers were served two weeks after Anderson first filed for divorce from Salomon, a decision she rescinded just a few hours later with a blog post that they were “working things out.” Seen alone on New Year’s Eve, Anderson recently blogged on her site: “2007 was an interesting year for me. What’s the definition of insanity? This is the year I do everything I wanted to do – my way… I’m going to be proud of every single day – and make sure I do not veer from the path.” Anderson, 40, stated in her divorce request that she and Salomon were married from Oct. 6 to Dec. 13. The actress has two sons (Brandon, 11, and Dylan, 9) from her previous marriage with rocker Tommy Lee. Salomon, the father of two daughters from a previous marriage, is best known for producing and starring in a 2003 sex tape with Paris Hilton.
Sean and Robin Wright Penn split
Sean Penn and wife Robin Wright Penn are divorcing, their rep, Mara Buxbaum, confirms. No other details were immediately available. The couple, who’ve been married 11 years, have two children together, Hopper Jack, 14, and Dylan Frances, 16. Penn, 47, and Wright, 41, began dating in the early ’90s and married in 1996. They also have starred together in several films, including 1998’s Hurlyburly and 1997’s She’s So Lovely, directed by Nick Cassavetes. “Marriage ain’t easy, but it’s great most of the time,” Penn told Entertainment Weekly in 1997. “I love Robin. I’ve always loved her.” In the same article, Cassavetes was asked about working with the couple. “The beginning and the end of every day is how Sean and Robin are getting along,” he said. “If they have a bad morning, Sean’s broken up about it.” Penn’s most recent film, Into the Wild, which he directed, is drawing awards buzz, with four SAG Award nominations and two Golden Globe nods.
Brendan Fraser splits from wife
Brendan Fraser announced Wednesday that he and his wife of nine-years, Afton, are ending their marriage. “They continue to maintain a close and caring friendship,” a publicist for the 39-year-old Canadian-born actor said in a statement. The couple wed in 1998 and have three children.
Pam files for divorce
Pamela Anderson filed for divorce from Rick Salomon after two months of marriage last week, but a reconciliation may already be in the works. Anderson, 40, filed for divorce Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. The actress says she and Salomon separated the day before, on Thursday. She is seeking to have Salomon pay spousal support and attorney’s fees. But two days later, she was spotted shopping with Salomon, and on Monday she posted this brief note on her website: “P.S. We’re working things out.” The former Baywatch star married Salomon, 39, at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas on Oct. 6 – during an hour-and-a-half break between two magic shows Anderson was performing. Her rep had no comment on the filing, and Anderson doesn’t mention it in detail on her site. Her postscript message followed a posting Monday saying she had turned down a lucrative offer to appear in another Las Vegas show so she could spend more time with her children in Malibu. “I’ve never made decisions based on money – and I’d hate to start now,” she writes. “I’m going to work on my dream now – and stay Home–!!!” The marriage was the third for both. Anderson was previously married to Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. Salomon’s ex-wives are Elizabeth Daily and Shannen Doherty. What about Anderson’s poor kids? She might want to start factoring their well-being into her decisions.
Selma Blair single again
Selma Blair is back on the market. “I’m single.” So when did she split with boyfriend Matthew Felker? “Oh, it was a while ago,” the star explained at the L.A. opening of the new Kiki De Montparnasse lingerie store. “While I was in Budapest [filming Hellboy 2].” Blair, 35, and the model-actor (best known as Britney Spears’s kissing partner in the “Toxic” video) met through mutual friends. They and had been dating steadily since her divorce from Ahmet Zappa last November. “I’ve just been reconnecting with my friends,” Blair says of life post-boyfriend. Before catching up with Ashley Olsen (who was also on hand for the launch), Blair was game to pose with some of the store’s more provocative wares – namely leather whips and gold-plated handcuffs. Surrounded by lace slips and garter belts, the actress said her newly single status doesn’t lessen her love of lingerie. “I have a lot of it, but mostly for myself,” she said. “It just makes you feel beautiful.” And that, incidentally, is also what she’s looking for in a man. “I want someone who makes me feel good,” she said, adding with a sly smile, “if you know what I mean.”
Leo’s back on the market, ladies
Leonardo Dicaprio is reportedly looking for a new model after splitting from his post-Gisele Bundchen babe, Bar Rafaeli. On Friday night at Sweet Paradise in NYC, Dicaprio was with Josh Hartnett checking out the arm candy at the afterparty for the new skateboarding film Nothing But the Truth. And, in an odd twist, Rafaeli’s new squeeze is surfer Kelly Slater, who dated Bundchen after she and the Titanic star broke up. Slater got into some trouble over the weekend in Israel when he and Rafaeli exited a hotel in a Tel Aviv suburb before dawn to find photographers waiting for them. He was arrested after fighting with local paparazzi. A police spokesperson told the AP that in an effort to prevent the photogs from taking pictures, Slater pushed them. A brawl broke out, and Slater was taken in for questioning and later released.
