Ryan Reynolds And Scarlett Johansson Split

‘We’ve decided to end our marriage,’ Reynolds confirms to MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson Photo: Kevin Mazur Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson are separating, MTV News has confirmed. TMZ first reported that the couple had split up and that things are “amicable” between them. As of now, neither has filed for divorce, according to the website, but they are living separately. “After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we’ve decided to end our marriage,” Reynolds said in a statement to MTV News. “We entered our relationship with love and it’s with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn’t expected, it’s certainly appreciated.” Us Weekly reports that the split happened about two weeks ago and notes that “the big problem with their relationship is the distance,” a source said, adding, “They spent a lot of time apart when they are working. … She’s been unhappy for a while.” The pair married in 2008 in Canada after being engaged earlier that year, and while they remained relatively private, they have spoken about their love for each other. In the May issue of InStyle, Johansson opened up about being married to the “Green Lantern” star, saying, “I mean, you’re married, and suddenly you have your own family. There’s a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain, in a way. You’ve got your home in that other person.” At the Tony Awards in June, when she took the stage to accept her award, she gave a nod to her husband, thanking “the Canadian I live with.” Reynolds told GQ that the actress was “the best part” of his life and even joked about his People Sexiest Man Alive nod, explaining that Johansson would have a different way to ask him to do chores around the house. “Now it’s going to be, ‘Sexiest Man, take out the garbage,’ ” he laughed. “That does sound better.” Related Photos The Way They Were: Ryan Reynolds And Scarlett Johansson

Michael Jackson Producers Defend Posthumous Michael Album

‘Michael mentored me so much to where I kind of knew how to complete his sentences,’ Theron ‘Neff-U’ Feemster tells MTV News of picking up where MJ left off. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Steven Roberts Michael Jackson’s Michael Photo: Epic Records Michael Jackson ‘s first posthumous album, Michael, has been met with mixed emotions by fans of the King of Pop. Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am lashed out at MJ’s estate for commissioning the album, while Akon, a contributor on the project, hailed the effort. Some of the songwriters and producers behind Michael are simply asking people to give it a chance before making a decision. “They’re gonna love the music, because it speaks for itself,” Eddie Cascio, who is credited as a songwriter on “Breaking News,” told MTV News. “Michael sounds great. The songs are great. The production sounds great. Teddy Riley did a phenomenal job finishing off the songs. The quality and production are incredible.” Theron “Neff-U” Feemster agreed. The producer had a hand in three of the album’s 10 tracks, including “Hollywood Tonight” and standouts “(I Like) The Way You Love Me” and “Best of Joy.” Feemster worked with Jackson in the past, as did the majority of the contributors to Michael, which he thinks made the project uniquely authentic despite MJ having little say in the way his tracks were completed. “It wasn’t difficult,” Feemster told MTV News of picking up the rough material. “It was like coloring. It was coloring a frame that was already structured. Michael mentored me so much to where I kind of knew how to complete his sentences. I understood the expectations that he wanted. He wanted to be beyond great. He wanted to give the world a gift, something they’d never heard or seen before. So even after his passing, it was great to have a great team of people to work with who also had experience working with Michael. It made it that much easier. Bringing very creative people together and people who understood his integrity and what he wanted as well, it was great.” What do you think of Michael ? Share your reviews in the comments.
