Prince Harry Splits with Girlfriend Chelsy Davy

 

Britain’s Prince Harry and his Zimbabwe-born girlfriend Chelsy Davy, 23, are calling it quits after five years, a royal source confirms to PEOPLE.

The 24-year-old prince parted amicably with Davy, a post-graduate law student at Leeds University, three weeks after the couple spent a romantic holiday together in the Indian Ocean nation of Mauritius.

“They are remaining friends,” says the royal source. “There have been all sorts of reasons given [for the split] but suffice it to say they felt that it had run its course.”

According to the British newspaper News of the World, Davy, the daughter of a millionaire safari operator, made the decision to break up after tiring of the prince’s playboy antics.

The pair met through mutual friends in 2004 and conducted a long-distance relationship for three years while Davy studied at a university in Cape Town, South Africa, and Harry was enrolled at Britain’s Sandhurst military academy.

Last week, Harry – who recently came under fire for uttering racist comments caught on videotape – began a new phase of his military career, a 2½-year course with the Army Air Corps in helicopter pilot training.

Inaugural PDA for J.Lo & Marc

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s supposed marital woes are currently topping the tabloids, but they put on their shiny, happy faces as they hit the Latino Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C., on Sunday night. The rumor-plagued pair, whose little-seen twins Max and Emme will celebrate their first birthday next month, even shared a public smooch during Paulina Rubio’s performance, says Politico.com. The Jiffy Pop-coiffed, electric blue gown-clad Mrs. Anthony cemented this latest show of togetherness by deciding to wear her massive engagement ring. You’ll recall that Lopez was once again sans sparkler when she turned up at the Golden Globes last week in an unforgiving gold gown, her hollow-cheeked husband on her arm, although she insists the bauble’s absence was an aesthetic, not an emotional, decision. “Every time I’m not wearing my ring, people think I’m getting divorced. That’s crazy!” she assures In Touch. “It just didn’t go with the dress.” And sure, you could argue that love and commitment go with everything, but J.Lo says all is well in their four-year union. “Divorce is not — and was never — an option,” proclaims the twice-divorced star. Still, that apparently doesn’t mean it’s all been smooth sailing. “You have two really strong-willed people who are passionate and butt heads,” a source blabs to the tabloid. “They fight so terribly, but then they make up and are happy again.” Star echoes the tiff claims and adds a few troubling details. “They love hard; they fight hard — and sometimes that has led to pushing and shoving,” alleges a source. “They throw things and scream and just go bananas. It’s been war in their house!”

Amanda Bynes and Doug Reinhardt Split

Amanda Bynes and baseball player Doug Reinhardt have called it quits on their relationship.

Bynes’s rep Melissa Raubvogel tells PEOPLE exclusively, “I can confirm that Amanda broke up with Doug.”

Last week, Bynes, 22, was visibly upset while at the GBK gifting suite in Los Angeles and was telling people they had broken up, according to a source.

But it might have been a rough patch, since the pair was spotted hand-in-hand Tuesday night when they popped into Swingers in L.A. for a late-night bite. “They looked really happy,” a witness said.

Separate Parties

On Wednesday night, the couple partied at separate hot spots. Bynes was seen at Guy’s Lounge with some girlfriends and a unidentified guy who never left her side, a witness said. Reinhardt, who is a Hills regular, was seen dancing with a bevy of ladies at Crown Bar, and even kissed one of them.

A source close to Reinhardt said, “Doug is so over being with her.”

But a source close to Bynes tells a different story, saying that on Thursday morning, Bynes went to his house and demanded her stuff. “[She] stormed out saying it was over and she was done,” says the source.

Inside the Obama Marriage

 

He thinks she’s strong yet vulnerable and mysterious. She thinks he’s smart, exotic and hot!

In the Jan 26. issue of Star — on sale now — we have an intimate peek behind closed doors at the tenderness, the conflict — and how America’s new First Couple make it work.

It wasn’t exactly love at first sight for Barack and Michelle Obama. When the attractive young Harvard Law student strolled into her Chicago law firm in 1989 to work for the summer, the whole office buzzed about his charm, intelligence and good looks — everyone, except Michelle. “I’m more of a skeptical kind,” she later confessed. “I was thinking, ‘Yeah, he’s probably an idiot.’”

But their work relationship soon blossomed into a friendship, and then “it just took off from there,” says Michelle.

But 16 years of marriage hasn’t been without bumps. Barack and Michelle have clashed over many things, including finding a new school for daughters Malia and Sasha. According to an insider, “He thought public school would be a far better way to go, but Michelle is the boss. She put her foot down, and now the girls are at the private Sidwell Friends School.”

When it comes to the girls, their parents don’t always see eye to eye. The insider reveals that Michelle worries that with Barack as President, Malia and Sasha will be thrust into the public spotlight. He, meanwhile, is concerned that Michelle spends too much dolling the girls up in fancy dresses. “He doesn’t want them looking like little princesses.”

And he feels the same about his wife. The fashion plate First Lady is often compared to the iconic Jacqueline Kennedy, and in order to live up to that high standard, she’s been spending a lot of money on designer clothes, says the insider. Just before the inauguration, she came home to their suite at The Hay-Adams hotel in Washington with loads of new purchases, including a very expensive pearl necklace — and Barack hit the roof!

“He was stunned at how much she had spent,” says the insider.

Lisa Bonet Gives Baby No. 3 Unique Name

Lisa Bonet and her Hawaiian born boyfriend Jason Momoa welcomed their second child together and named him Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa.

Try saying that three times fast!

The baby announcement was made by Jason’s mother on the forum of his Web site. She noted that the baby arrived during the first half of December on “the stormiest, rainiest night.” As for the decidedly unique name, the grandmother explained that Nakoa means “warrior,” while Mana refers to “strength/spirit,” and Kaua — “rain” — and po — “dark” — refer to the weather conditions when he was born. The second middle name, Namakaeha, is the same as Jason’s.

Lisa, who’s appearing in Life on Mars, and Jason, of Stargate Atlantis fame, already have a daughter, Lola Iolani, 17 months. The actress’ daughter with Lenny Kravitz, Zoe, is 20.

Unique names seem par for the course for the one-time Cosby Show star. Back in 1993 she legally changed her name to Lilakoi Moon, though she continues to go by Lisa Bonet professionally.

What do you think of the name Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha? Better or worse than Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s son Bronx Mowgli? Talk back.

It’s a Girl for Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck!

 

Jennifer Garner and husband Ben Affleck have welcomed their second daughter, PEOPLE confirms exclusively.

The actress’s rep says: “Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck gave birth to a healthy baby girl.”

The baby was born Tuesday in Los Angeles. No other details were immediately available.

Garner and Affleck, both 36, are also parents to daughter Violet, 3.

In the weeks leading up to the birth, Garner, stayed close to home, picking up Violet from preschool and even treating herself to a mani-pedi.

Just days before giving birth, Garner was spotted with Violet at the Farmer’s Market in Pacific Palisades and grabbing a decaf coffee at Caffe Luxxe in Santa Monica with a girlfriend.

Former Alias costar and close friend Victor Garber says the actress needs no help in the mommy department.

“It’s her second child,” Garber told PEOPLE. “She knows what to do. She’s probably the best mother I’ve

Rip Torn faces drunken driving charges

LITCHFIELD, Conn. – Actor Rip Torn has pleaded not guilty to drunken driving charges in Connecticut, nearly two years after being fined and losing his license for similar charges in New York.

The 77-year-old Salisbury resident appeared in Bantam Superior Court on Monday. He pleaded not guilty to illegal operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence and failure to drive in the proper lane.

State police say a trooper stopped Torn on Dec. 14 on Route 44 shortly after he had left the White Hart Inn in Salisbury, a town of about 4,000 people in the northwestern corner of the state that borders New York and Massachusetts.

Police say Torn was driving in the breakdown lane in his 1994 Subaru with a Christmas tree tied to the top.

He failed part of a field sobriety exam, then gave up after saying the ground wasn’t level enough, state police said. He also refused to take a breathalyzer test and used profanity while in the trooper’s cruiser, police said.

Torn, who won an Emmy for his role on “The Larry Sanders Show,” is set to return to court Jan. 28.

His attorney, A. Thomas Waterfall of Torrington, told The Register Citizen newspaper: “All I can tell you is that we will review the reports, and Mr. Torn and I will meet to discuss his defense options. At this point, I don’t know what they are yet.”

Despite previous drunken driving arrests in New York, Torn may qualify for Connecticut’s alcohol education program. The program is for first-time offenders and could lead to the charges being dropped after a period of probation.

In April 2007, Torn agreed to pay a $380 fine and give up his license for 90 days after pleading guilty to driving while impaired in North Salem, about 60 miles north of New York City.

In a Manhattan case in 2004, Torn was acquitted after jurors said the prosecution failed to prove he was drinking before a fender-bender with a taxi, although a police videotape showed him cursing and berating officers before turning down a sobriety test.

Torn has had a recurring role on NBC’s “30 Rock.” His screen credits include “Cross Creek” and the “Men in Black” movies.
