DWTS’ Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas No Longer a Couple
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Break-ups, Rumors,
Just a week after rumors started circulating about Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, we’re now learning of another Dancing with the Stars split.
Dancer Mark Ballas confirmed to Us Weekly that he and Sabrina Bryan are no longer a couple off the dance floor. The two started dating last season when they were partnered for the show’s fifth season.
Although the former pair didn’t perform on last night’s results show (maybe things would have been a bit too awkward?), Ballas claims he is still friends with the Cheetah Girl.
So how about Mark’s roommate, Derek Hough? Will he be able to drag out his relationship with Shannon Elizabeth for that much longer? I think we’d have better odds of seeing Shannon actually produce some hip action.

Dancing with the Stars Couple Calls It Quits
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Break-ups, Rumors,
UPDATE: Karina Smirnoff is now denying People’s report about a supposed break-up. Maybe they just haven’t done it yet. Meanwhile, you can read about another DWTS split here.
It seems like someone is now free to pursue another Mario…
After nearly 1 1/2 years together, former Dancing with the Stars partners Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff have called it quits. The two - who competed together during the fall of 2006 - eventually placed second that season behind Cheryl Burke and Emmitt Smith.
Although the two moved in together last year, the couple have been spending a great deal of time apart recently. While Karina has been participating on DWTS’ Season 6, Lopez has been starring in a Broadway revival of A Chorus Line. He will also conveniently appear on the ABC show’s 100th episode next week. (I’m sure it was quite awkward backstage during that pre-taped performance.)
Up until recently, Karina and her current Mario have had to fend off rumors about a possible romance. (They said she already had a boyfriend.) What will their excuse be now?

Kanye West No Longer Engaged
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Break-ups,
In the past six months, Kanye West has experienced a series of highs and lows…personally and professionally. Just last November, the rapper unexpectedly lost his mother to heart disease after a scheduled surgical procedure. That setback led to a heartfelt performance from West at this February’s Grammys.
Now the 30-year-old artist is currently wowing fans and critics with his Glow in the Dark tour while weathering an another emotional period. It’s been announced that his wedding to designer Alexis Phifer has been called off. The couple, who had been engaged since 2006, had reportedly been spending less and less time together during West’s pre-tour preparations.
In a recent blog entry, Kanye said he was wasn’t dedicating his energy to things he didn’t love anymore. I guess that, sadly, included Phifer.

Engagement Over for Mary-Louise Parker
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Break-ups, Engagements, Breaking News,
I give up. I’m not sure when Mary-Louise Parker will get her happy ending now.
Just two months after I congratulated the Weeds actress for her engagement, People magazine reports the blissful period is sadly over. For reasons currently unknown, she and co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan have already called it quits. Hopefully this decision will finally put an end to the former couple’s on-again, off-again relationship.
Now Parker has a highly-publicized breakup with Billy Crudup and a broken engagement to Morgan under her belt. Luckily, the mother of two has much more important things to attend to.

Carrie Underwood’s Text Message Breakup
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Break-ups,
While I’m certain that this isn’t the first time something like this has happened, it may be the first time we’ve heard a celebrity publicly admit that they’ve ended a relationship this way.
After an Idol Gives Back taping yesteday, former American Idol star Carrie Underwood opened up to Extra about her recently publicized breakup.
The country singer told Simon Cowell‘s girlfriend that she and her Gossip Girl beau (Chace Crawford) ended on a very anti-climactic note. It was all done via text message. (You can see that interview here.)
“It was completely mutual. We broke up like over text…it was like ‘peace out’. Like, I don’t know. It just didn’t work. We both know it didn’t work. And, no hard feelings at all whatsoever. No big deal.”
I must say, although she kept repeating it was ‘no big deal’, she did seem awfully bitter to me.

Should Kylie Minogue Take Olivier Back?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Break-ups, Rumors,
Let me describe a scenario to you:
You meet a guy, fall in love. Two years go by and you’re diagnosed with breast cancer. He helps you through that. Two years later, you break up because he has reportedly cheated on you. Then another year passes before he drunk dials and says he was a silly fool.
If you were that woman—would you take him back??? Well, as difficult as it would be for some people to understand, Kylie Minogue has apparently done just that.
Despite calling it quits last February, it seems Minogue has given her former flame, Olivier Martinez, another chance. The two had been together for a total of four years. Although the couple denied any disloyalty, the actor (Unfaithful) was reportedly seen with other ladies shortly before their relationship’s demise.
According to the UK’s Daily Mail, their reunion comes with a set of restrictions. The singer, 39, will only take Martinez, 42, back if marriage and a baby are in their future. I’d like to think a man who can tough out a breast cancer diagnosis can handle other large commitments, but I unfortunately have my doubts.
Regardless, I really do hope Minogue has brighter future…with or without him.
UPDATE: Kylie has since denied taking Olivier back. She insists they are only friends.
