Actress Liv Tyler and her rocker husband Royston Langdon have reportedly called their 5-year marriage off. It’s not bad. 5 years seems to be about the average length of a Hollywood marriage. The ex-couple’s publicist has released a statement saying “Liv Tyler and Royston Langdon have confirmed their separation. They remain good friends and devoted parents to their son Milo and are requesting that their family’s privacy be respected at this time.” Their privacy is granted. Mostly because no one really cares about them being a couple. She’s just Steven Tyler’s kid and he’s a rock star who I know absolutely nothing about anyway.

DMX was driving so fast on an Arizona highway that it took more than three months for cops to catch up to the rapper. Scottsdale police finally arrested DMX at his home earlier this week after they claim that he broke 100 MPH at three separate checkpoints back in January. The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, faces charges of racing on a highway, reckless driving, two counts of endangerment, three counts of criminal speed and driving on a suspended license. Whoa! That’s a lot! I can’t believe he managed to do all that in a yellow 1966 Chevy Nova II.

Ratings for the once popular Disney show ‘Hannah Montana’ are down which should make Disney quite upset that their cash flow is dwindling to a trickle. Don’t blame Vanity Fair though as there are reports that indicate that the show has been on a decline even before her scandal. According to the Nielsen Company, the audience for Sunday’s new ‘Hannah Montana’ episode fell 14% from the previous fresh episode which aired less than 2 months earlier. Compared to the first original show of the year which aired in January, viewers for Sunday’s show went down 26%. If that’s the case, there’s really no one to blame but Miley.

Well someone’s desperate – LFO’s front man Rich Cronin has been spotted on Match.com looking for love. And it’s really him! Rich apparently just broke up with his girlfriend and decided to use the dating site because some of his friends have had success with it. Apart from being desperate, he’s still milking his LFO success saying on his online pitch “I have always loved music and was fortunate enough to see (my dreams) come true by the time I was 24. I was the lead singer of a group called LFO and we sold over 4 million albums, toured the world, were all over MTV and any other show you can imagine, and then before you knew it, we were finished.”
I doubt being a has-been would help him any.

For the second year in a row, South Korean actor and singer Rain beat out Stephen Colbert in Time Magazine’s Poll Results of the most influential people. They only came in at number 2 and 3 this year though as compared to last year’s number 1 and 2 spots. This year’s top spot went to Shigeru Miyamoto, the video game designer who created Mario, Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda. At 25 years old, Rain is already training a successor to his own Asian pop company. He may be a Hollywood upstart and we may not understand what he sings in his songs but the boy has got some power under his wing. At the rate he’s going, he might retire at age 35.

Major drama doesn’t just happen between Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. It extends to their 15-year old Bobbi Kristina too. The National Enquirer is reporting that the teenager tried to stab her mom during a heated argument and then attempted to kill herself by slashing her wrists. Family member Ann Davis told The Enquirer that it was a few days after Bobbi Kristina’s 15th birthday when the incident happened. According to other sources, the suicide attempt landed Bobbi Kristina in a psychiatric ward in Atlanta. The poor kid, all those things she saw go down with her mom and dad must have done some major damage on her. I hope she’s doing better now.

Former Velvet Revolver front man Scott Weiland has recently been sentenced to jail following his DUI arrest in November 2007. The singer was charged with one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of alcohol with prior conviction. He must now serve 192 hours, which translates to 8 days, in county jail. Scott has just until Wednesday, May 28th, to serve his sentence. He must also complete an 18-month alcohol program and will also be put on a 4 year summary probation. The singer also has to pay about $2,000 in fines. These are the few times that rock stars would want to be more like Paris Hilton in order to get out of jail early.

Lindsay Lohan is trying her best to make it big again. Since the acting thing didn’t work, she’s going back to making music as part of Motown. Yes, I said Motown. Lindsay is going to partner up with Snoop Dogg, Pharrell and Timbaland for her third album in hopes that the record will turn out good. As for her track with Snoop, insiders are saying that the song is amazing. Who’s willing to bet that those insiders are Lindsay and Dina Lohan? In other news, Lindsay’s little sister Ali is also in the studio recording an album for Interscope via Maloof Music.

The rumor mill has been smoking about Clay Aiken being gay ever since he walked off the American Idol stage and walked straight into his hit music career but no confirmation has been made yet. Is he or isn’t he? According to Clay, “Nobody cares.” The singer told Us that he doesn’t think anyone should slap their sexuality into anyone else’s face and that all he really wants to do is sing. However, even with all his attempts at keeping his personal life private, several gays have come out on the internet alleging that they were able to get physical with Clay. Clay says that it’s hard to deal with all the scrutiny but that he’s learned to not let it get to him.

The male version of Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty, may still be locked up in jail but the blood, sweat and tears he poured into his art went on display earlier this week in a Paris gallery. Did I say blood, sweat and tears? Maybe just blood. Perhaps the gory exhibit of 30 of the singer’s paintings done in pencil, paint and his blood were inspired by his love of the needle. Maybe this should explain why his house was said to be stained with blood all over. Any of his remaining fans better get to the gallery quick before someone decides to quarantine the place.

While Amy Winehouse was busy getting arrested, news that her incarcerated hubby Blake Fielder-Civil has been cheating on her have come out. Blake had a hearing on Friday that Wino didn’t attend due to her own legal troubles. It looks like Blake didn’t miss her though as the douche was spotted blowing kisses to another woman at his latest court appearance. 21-year old Sophie Schandorff was also seen returning the blown kisses from across the courtroom. Blake even responded by mouthing ‘I love you’ back to the blonde. The lady however says that she is simply his best friend and that she has known Blake for two years.

Druggie jailbird Pete Doherty is reading the Koran to get him through his days in the slammer.

The Babyshambles singer has turned to the Islam holy book after being imprisoned at London’s Wormwood Scrubs.

Potty Pete requested a translation after being put in an isolated cell at the tough prison last week. And the rock junkie is now “lapping it up”.

A pal revealed yesterday: “He’s been reading the Koran since he went into segregation. He’s got a lot of Muslim friends and they’ve been on at him for ages to study it. Now he’s on his own he’s got time on his hands to study it. I’m surprised how much it has calmed him down as he was very on edge inside. He definitely seems more chilled. He’s lapping it up and really interested in it. I think it’s helping him in there.”

In the past Pete has also read up on weird cult Scientology after being introduced to it by his then girlfriend Nadine Ruddy.

If Pete ever does think about converting to Islam, he’s going to have to make some radical changes to his outrageous lifestyle.

Maybe he’s yet to get to the bits in the sacred book that rule out alcohol and mind-altering drugs. Eating any meat which is not prepared the halal way is also banned. Considering the only food I have ever seen Pete scoff is a Big Mac, I’m not sure what he would plan to eat.

And as Muslims are advised not to wear any tight-fitting clothes, all those skinny jeans would have to go straight down to the charity shop. And putrid Pete will also have to sort out his disgusting dirty fingernails, as the book guides followers to stay clean and well groomed.

Looks like he’s got a lot of work to do before he nails this one.

‘Nashville Star’ 2003 season finalist Miranda Lambert has been accused of assaulting a woman because she didn’t know who the country singer was. The alleged victim Aisha Esbay says that she was sitting at a bar with friends when one recognized Miranda and wanted a picture. Esbay approached the singer saying that she didn’t know her but that her friend wanted a photo. That apparently pissed off the singer and shoved Esbay into a bar stool multiple times. Smith County Sherriff’s Department says they are investigating but, at worst, it will be a Class C misdemeanour – just think of it like a violent speeding ticket.

Foxy Brown’s exit from Rikers Island prison last Friday was a highly unusual one but it is being said that everything was done by the book. The female rapper’s ride out of prison was a black SUV by City Councilman Charles Barron. It’s not SOP because newly ex-cons are usually shuttled out to freedom on a city bus. But since Barron was a city employee, it was completely and entirely by the rules for him to shuttle Foxy out in a private car. In fact, the Department of Corrections was pretty obsessed with making sure that nothing was out of line for the rapper’s exit.

Robbie Williams has enlisted the help of a man who has allegedly been abducted by aliens to cure his fear of the dark.

The ‘Angels’ singer intends to fly British 23-year-old Jason Andrews – who says he has become a psychic sage after being taken by aliens on several occasions – out to his home in Los Angeles to help him sleep at night.

Jason’s mother Ann Andrews has chronicled her sons supposed extra-terrestrial encounters in two books - ‘Abducted: The True Story of Alien Abduction in Rural England’ and ‘Jason: My Indigo Child’. The books claim he has an ‘earthly body but cosmic soul’.

Robbie said: ‘Jason’s mother Ann reminds me of my mother. My mother was a tarot card reader. I live in fear of this stuff. That’s why I want to investigate ghosts and UFOs. So I can work out why I get scared at night.’

Robbie has even likened his time with boyband Take That, who he left in 1995, to being abducted by aliens. He said: ‘I think joining Take That was like being whisked off on a spaceship and coming back and all your friends going, ‘He’s weird now.’ ‘

Robbie met Ann at a conference at the Aquarius Hotel and Casino in Nevada, which he was invited to by a friend who runs conspiracy theory websites. The 34-year-old singer is reportedly a member of a UFO ring in Los Angeles, and often hosts meetings at his mansion.

Robbie recently claimed he has seen spaceships on three occasions, and intends to quit singing to study aliens full time. He said: ‘I’m stopping being a pop star. I’m going to be a full-time Ufologist.’

What is it with the May-December romance? Kim Kardashian’s former home movie maestro, Ray J, was spotted hitting the clubs in Atlanta with recovering diva Whitney Houston later this past week. Bobby may be writing the book but Ray J is trying to get the movie rights! Also, on a pre-taped episode of ‘Chelsea Lately’ that aired on the same night that they were spotted, Ray J was grilled like a grilled cheese sandwich about his so-called relationship with the crack whore – I mean Whitney. Ray J said they were just friends. Right. His new song ‘Boyfriend’ is about sleeping with a married woman – which is rumored to be based on his relationship with Whitney in 2007. Just friends my butt.

Her old man might be Saint Bob but young Peaches Geldof is a forgetful devil.

The Boomtown Brat caused chaos by walking out of an expensive designer clothes shop with a $500 dress tucked under her arm – without handing over a penny.

She popped into Victim fashion boutique on London’s trendy Carnaby Street to check out their threads on Thursday night. After introducing herself to the designer, she said she’d be back later then walked out with more than just a business card.

Designer Mei Hui Liu said: “We were really busy preparing for an important fashion show and the shop was a bit of a mess. Peaches introduced herself and said she thought my designs were really pretty. She took a business card and walked out. That’s when we realised one of the dresses was gone. But when we looked outside Peaches had gone too.  It was quite upsetting because I have been working really hard for weeks preparing for the show and she just walked out with one of the best pieces.”

The dress in question was a cream one-off vintage silk design and was earmarked to take pride of place at an upcoming fashion show.

After several frantic calls they managed to get hold of Peaches’ agent to ask what had happened to the dress and get an explanation. Sure enough, she then returned with her tail between her legs, explaining she had picked the dress up by mistake because it was the same colour as her scarf.

When she brought the dress back the next day it had the label ripped out. But to make up for the misunderstanding, generous Peaches decided to keep it and paid up.

A similar thing happened in 2006. A security guard thought Peaches was about to walk out of an Urban Outfitters store in London without paying for a coat.

So Peaches, for future reference, the normal process of buying clothes involves handing over money BEFORE you leave with them.

Not even prison can come between Pete Doherty and his drugs. According to reports, the wreck of a rocker is totally getting high in the slammer. Prison doctors have been giving Pete the heroin substitute methadone to wean him off the drugs but he’s actually topping off the treatment with the real thing. An inmate even comments to the source on the report saying “He hasn’t received his prison wage yet so he’s getting the drugs on credit and writing IOUs. He usually signs his name next to a scribbled smiley face with a trilby.” It is also being said that Pete has befriended an ex-street fighter who protects him and that his cell mate was a drug dealer on the outside. Disgustingly, prison officers are also said to be treating him like a rock star and even asking for autographs. He’s got a posse in jail?! He better not be let out early.

The only thing that’s scarier or sadder than having Goth rocker Marilyn Manson on your flight is the fact that paparazzi barely even noticed the big A-list star that is Cameron Diaz walking behind the man on Sunday. That is just plain whack! But then again, with his long black hair, big old shades, five inch heels and heavily caked on foundation, the photographers might have thought that he was actually Cher. If that was the case, they’re forgiven for completely ignoring Cameron. If not, some people need to get their eyes checked. Honestly, who would want to stare at a photo of Marilyn Manson?
