Sad news from The Bachelorette world today, as 2010’s engaged pair … no longer is. ” Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez have ended their relationship,” their rep said. “As they go through this difficult time, we ask that you respect the couple’s privacy.” The duo’s romance unfolded in 2010 on the sixth season of the reality show, when she sent home Chris Lambton and accepted Roberto’s proposal on the season finale . In October, Ali Fedotowsky downplayed rumors that their relationship was on the rocks , saying there were other reasons for putting their wedding plans on hold. “We didn’t meet in the most traditional way. We had a very short courtship and we only knew each other nine weeks before we got engaged,” Fedotowsky said. “We are still figuring out our lives as individuals.” The 27-year-old maintained she had still planned to tie the knot with her former fianc
Jon Bernthal tells MTV News the relationship between Shane, Rick and Lori ‘gets more dangerous and more complicated’ as season progresses. By Josh Wigler Jon Bernthal Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images Secrets are no fun — unless you’re talking about “The Walking Dead.” In that case, secrets make for very, very fun television. Take Sunday night’s episode, for instance: Appropriately titled “Secrets,” the latest round of “Walking Dead” madness zeroed in on the walkers hidden away in Herschel’s barn, unbeknownst to anybody in Rick Grimes’ group of survivors, save for Glenn and Dale. That story looks likely to boil over in next week’s ominously titled mid-season finale, “Pretty Much Dead Already,” while this week’s outing pushed another tenuous thread closer to its breaking point: Lori’s pregnancy and her infidelity with Shane. Rick learned both of his wife’s biggest secrets in the episode, and he took the news surprisingly well. But one has to wonder how Shane is going to react when he learns that Lori is pregnant and determines that he could very well be the baby’s father. Speaking with MTV News earlier this year, Jon Bernthal chimed in on his character’s increasingly fragile mental and emotional stability, indicating that something like Lori’s recent revelation will have a profound impact on Shane. “He’s lonely,” Bernthal said. “He’s not suffering from the kind of loneliness you suffer from when you’re far away from the people you love; it’s the loneliness you feel when you’re right there with them and you can’t be with them in the way you want.” Bernthal said he doesn’t view the situation between Shane, Rick and Lori as a love triangle. Instead, he sees the characters as members of “a family that’s been fractured and cut open by the circumstances.” “The people that Shane loved more than anyone else in the world before the apocalypse are still very much alive and still very much with him, but he’ll never be with them in the way he wants to and the way he once was,” he explained. “Every relationship — Shane/Carl, Shane/Lori and Shane/Rick — it’s tainted and fractured. When you suffer from that kind of loneliness, it brings out the worst in you.” We’ve already seen the darkness in Shane — you could ask Otis all about it, if he were still alive — but is the worst yet to come? Bernthal said that, yes, this kind of loneliness can bring out “the best” in a man, but for Shane, the rollercoaster ride isn’t ending anytime soon. “I really applaud the writers by making this. … There’s nothing tired about the relationship,” he said. “It gets more and more dangerous and more and more complicated as the season progresses. They’ve given me wonderful stuff to play.” How do you think Shane will react to Lori’s pregnancy? Sound off in the comments!
After her set, Perry was presented with a special award for having five #1 singles on Teenage Dream. By James Dinh Katy Perry performs at the 2011 American Music Awards Photo: Getty Images In the past year, Katy Perry has pulled out some show-stopping performances, but the pop titan was all about simplicity when she performed an acoustic version of her latest single, “The One That Got Away” at the 2011 American Music Awards . Standing on a circular platform, Perry appeared onstage before pink-tinged light beams that appropriately matched her hair. In place of the midtempo tune that is heating up radio airwaves, the singer stripped down the song as she played the guitar and was accompanied by her background band. Mrs. Russell Brand belted her way through the regretful love song while her set turned into a starry sky when the backdrop evolved into a screen of speckled stars. Upon the conclusion of her number, the pop star was met with a standing ovation as well as a special award of achievement for scoring five #1 singles from Teenage Dream on Billboard ‘s Hot 100, an achievement only equal to Michael Jackson and his 1987 Bad LP. “Yay! Can I just say, thank you so much for letting me be a chameleon this year,” the starlet screamed during her acceptance speech. “I’m very, very, very pleased, and I want to give thanks to my amazing record label, EMI and Capitol. … I’m about to wrap up my California Dreams Tour , 122 dates, so I want to thank my band and all the people that came out to see me, and all of you guys, ’cause you’re pretty cool too!” This is just the latest treat Perry has offered fans in recent weeks. A little more than a week ago, she dropped the clip for the Dr. Luke and Max Martin-produced tune . The video, which was directed by Floria Sigismondi, takes viewers down memory lane as the pop star recalls her relationship with the one that got away. Did you enjoy Katy’s acoustic set?

L.A. County Sherriff’s Office investigators’ decision to reopen the Natalie Wood case after three decades has raised suspicions of her husband, Robert Wagner. The captain of the boat that Wood, a major movie star at the time, mysteriously vanished from in 1981 is now blaming veteran actor Wagner for her death. The Tinseltown starlet died off of Santa Catalina Island in California after partying on a yacht one night with hubby Wagner and actor Christopher Walken. At the time, police said Wood, 43, accidentally fell overboard and drowned. Now the boat’s captain, Dennis Davern, is telling something of a different story. On Today, Davern said Robert Wagner, now 81, asked him not to take steps to find his wife. It was a matter of “We’re not going to look too hard,” he said. “We’re not going to turn on the search light, we’re not going to notify anybody right at the moment,” said Davern , who admitted that he lied at the time. “I made some terrible decisions and mistakes,” he said. “I did lie on a report years ago. I made mistakes by not telling the honest truth in a police report.” Asked if Wagner was “responsible” for Wood’s death, Davern said, “Yes I would say so.” Lana Wood, Natalie Wood’s sister, also spoke out about the case: Lana says she never believed Robert Wagner’s version of the events that led to Natalie’s death, and believes Robert wasn’t honest with investigators. She says she’s not buying the original story that Natalie was trying to secure a dinghy and fell overboard because she was deathly afraid of water. Natalie wouldn’t even go in her own pool, according to her sister. Natalie Wood Interview Lana Wood says Sheriff’s detectives interviewed her and specifically wanted to know if the relationship between Natalie and Robert was “volatile.” And, Lana says, if Wagner or anyone else is found to be responsible for Natalie’s death, they should be punished, despite the fact it’s 30 years later. Wood (1938-1981) and Wagner were married in 1957, divorced in 1962, then remarried in 1972. They have one daughter, Courtney, born in 1974. Despite the accusations of the captain, it is not known specifically what caused officials to reopen the case, and Wagner has never been a suspect. Wagner’s publicist, Alan Nierob, issued a statement saying the actor’s family “fully support the efforts of the LA County Sheriff’s Department.” The actor, who has a recurring role on NCIS , “trusts they will evaluate whether any new information relating to the death of Natalie Wood Wagner is valid.” Nierob said no authorities have contacted Wagner about the case.
The private homegoing celebration for rapper Heavy D. is being held today at Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon, NY. The event, which is currently taking place was reportedly so heavily attended that fire marshalls were unable to allow everyone to enter, but numerous celebrities, including Diddy, Flavor Flav and Chris Rock were in attendance at a public wake for the rapper which was held Thursday afternoon and evening. Despite the cold weather a line of fans wishing to pay their respects formed outside the church, wrapping around the building. Heavy D, real name Dwight Arrington Myers, died of a suspected heart attack last week after the 44-year-old reportedly collapsed after walking up stairs at his Beverly Hills apartment building. He’s scheduled to be buried on Friday in a private ceremony, Diddy previously tweeted about his special connection to the dead rapper. ‘Heavy D is the person who gave me my first chance in the music industry,’ he revealed. ‘He got me my internship at Uptown. He Believed when no one else did. My Heart is Broken. Pls pray for my man Heavy D and his Family. PLS #RipHeavyD love you Boy. 4ever’ Allhiphop.com co-founder Chuck Creekmur has been live tweeting the funeral. We’ve included a number of his tweets here, along with instagram photos of the funeral program. Tweets and more photos below, SMH @ Flavor Flav’s green wake getup:
Eminem and his little homie Yelawolf are shaking up the world! Listen to how they make fun of each other’s Whiteness. Eminem and Yela are the reigning golden boys of Hip-Hop, which makes Vibe and the rest of us wonder: is Hip-Hop colorblind? Have white boys finally taken over? And, if so, is that a problem? Anyway, here’s what the two had to say about each other: Eminem and Yelawolf on poking fun at their race: Eminem, what advice do you offer, if any, on being scrutinized for being a white rapper. Do you guys ever talk about race in that way? Eminem: We make jokes about it, but I don’t think we talk about it in depth. As I was listening to his music, I am not even thinking about any of that sh*t. It’s just the music. That’s one of the things that’s great about it. I’m not even thinking about it when I hear the music. Yelawolf: We do poke fun of it because it’s funny. Like, he calls me White Dog. Oh, you called him that on the BET Awards Cypher. I didn’t realize it was an ongoing joke? EM: Yeah, or Beige Sheep. [Laughs] YW: Cracker Nuts. Whatever, I think it’s kinda unspoken. EM: We deal with it enough as it is. So now, let’s make music. YW: Let’s make great records. At the end of the day, that’s all there is to do. Yelawolf’s thoughts on White Rappers using the N-Word: When Yelawolf heard the presumptuous white female rapper V-Nasty was peppering her sarcastic raps with the N- word, he called it embarrassing, telling VladTV that an N-bomb-dropping white rapper might find themselves “slapped up, and it might be by a white boy.” While he admits to using the word as a child, he says the word term is off limits for any white person, rapper or otherwise. “[In Alabama] we have a dark history concerning the relationship be- tween Black and white people. I’m not a role model by any means, but if I said it around the house I got popped in the mouth,” he says, noting that his Black friends used the word as a term of endearment for him as well. Eminem and Yelawolf talk about their past history with drugs: You mentioned getting yourself right. Are you completely clean these days as far as alcohol and drugs? EM: Except for the heroin I shot up this morning. Except for that, I’m clean. [Laughs] While you’re clean, Yelawolf here smokes weed and— Yelawolf: No, I don’t. I hear that in your music a lot. YW: I started smoking weed at 11. By 12, I was smoking dust. Thirteen, acid, Freon, special k, mushrooms; 16 years old, I was selling X pills at school. Not even because I was a good dope boy, but because I was a scumbag. It was called chocolate chip, and it had heroin in it. I used to take that shit and go to class. I went so heavy into drugs that I had a bad trip one time that lasted for months. More On Bossip!

Chris Brown is so over being asked questions about his ex-girlfriend Rihanna that he had another meltdown on Twitter and has decided to delete almost his entire time line, leaving only a couple of tweets consisting of positive messages from fans. The 22-year-old singer couldn’t ignore the negative comments about viciously beating up Rihanna two years ago and exploded into a rant: “I don’t say s**t to anybody and everyone feels its cool to attack me. GROWN ADULTS!!!! that s**t happened three years ago!” he wrote on his Twitter account. “I know alot of you wack @ss(OLD) celebrities probably wanna f**k my ex but talking s**t on me wont get u far,” he continued. He then wrote: “And to be REALLY HONEST… yall wonder why n**ga spazzes all the time? Lol.” Another tweet read: “MY MUSIC DOESNT PROMOTE VIOLENCE nor will it ever! only thing it will increase is the pregnacy rate! (sic).” Do you think Breezy is being immature and needs anger management or should folks just leave him alone?

‘It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton,’ Moore says in a statement. By Jocelyn Vena Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore Photo: Getty Images After dodging separation and affair rumors for months now, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher officially announced plans to divorce Thursday (November 17). “It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton,” Moore said in a statement to The Associated Press. “As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life. This is a trying time for me and my family, and so I would ask for the same compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation.” “Two and a Half Men” star Kutcher took to Twitter to confirm the split. “Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and Light, AK,” he wrote on the social networking site. As of press time, Moore’s Twitter handle was still @mrskutcher. The two had no children together but did start the DNA Foundation last year to raise awareness about the sexual exploitation of young women around the world. People magazine reports that in the wake of Kutcher’s affair scandal earlier this fall, the two had been working on their relationship. “Demi loves Ashton as much as she hates public humiliation,” a source told the website around the time the affair rumors broke. “The marriage isn’t good right now.”
The NBA labor dispute is slowly, yet surely, amputating the 2011-12 basketball schedule of games. After the player’s union rejected the latest proposal offered by Commissioner David Stern and NBA owners earlier this week, all involved are left wondering what happens next. There is no end in sight. Games are cancelled through mid-December, and the possibility of any games being played this season is shaky at best. Considering the lifestyles many ballers are known to lead, along with reputations for being negligent in terms of managing finances, many players are definitely going to need a side hustle to keep those checks coming in. Here’s a short list of interim gigs for some of the NBA’s unemployed: Kris Humphries , Relationship Counselor : Don’t let the number fool you. In those 72 days as a married man, Kris Humphries gained more experience than some people who’ve been married twice as long, if not longer. Having communications problems in your relationship? Go see Kris. Trust issues? Kris is your man that can help. Now that he’s been released of his Kardashian lap dog duties, who better to give advice on what not to do? Who else could lend a more sympathetic ear and help the two of you work through the ups and downs that all couples face? The one thing many seek in counseling is an empathetic voice of reason, and at this point, I don’t think anyone else in the world could feel your pain more than Kris Humphries. Dwayne Wade, Celebrity Manicurist/Pedicurist : D. Wade has the hot celebrity girlfriend in Gabrielle Union and has transitioned his style repertoire to that of elite status among fellow athletes. This was recently exemplified in the spread that he shot for the November issue of GQ . Upon reading the article, though, Wade caught the public’s attention in revealing a surprise foot fetish of sorts. He actually stated that he once painted his toenails black. Make no confusion: there’s nothing wrong with male grooming in the form of mani/pedis. However, unless you are Lenny Kravitz, cease and desist on the black toenails—or any other color—immediately. Travel Tips: The Three Outfits Every Man Must Have Wade certainly raised more than a few eyebrows with this admission of sampling the latest hues of OPI products. But it also seems that somehow stumbled into a new professional calling to weather the lockout. If all else fails, Dwayne Wade can become a licensed nail technician. South Beach is bound to offer a limitless market of clients, especially among his many celebrity friends. If Serena could get her license and work on Oprah’s feet, then why not Dwayne?

After perfect and near-perfect performances saw Ricki Lake take back the lead on Dancing With the Stars , the question was who would join her in the finals. With Ricki a virtual lock (her scores far outpaced two competitors, she’s solid every week, and she has Derek Hough as a partner), it came down to this trio. Surprisingly, Rob Kardashian was the one breathing down Ricki’s next Monday, with J.R. Martinez a distant third, followed by Hope Solo in last place. Was last night the end of the line for Rob, Hope, or J.R.? Hope has continued to improve, but would it be fast enough for fans given that Rob has also surged in popularity and skill, and J.R. remains one of the favorites? The program has seen many worthy dancers set home prematurely, even this season. You just never know. So which one of these contenders got the heave-ho? Follow the jump to see who survived the Dancing With the Stars semifinals … Hope Solo , despite a long and successful run, was eliminated last night. Very few who follow the show are likely to be surprised at that outcome. Interestingly, Hope was so torn up about her elimination that she was unable to even give interviews about departure, but we’ll miss her and wish her the best. Fond memories of Hope and Maks’ DWTS performances past . “I love them,” Ricki Lake said of Hope and her partner Maksim Chermovskiy. “They’re both great people. I think she did great. She came so far and I now like soccer. I never knew anything about it, but now I’m rooting for my goalie Hope Solo!” She’s certainly not alone in that department. “I never would have imagined this when I signed up for this, never in a million years,” Rob Kardashian admitted upon making the finals. “I really just gotta bring it more than ever and that mirror ball trophy is right at the end of my fingertips.” As for J.R.’s injury: “The ankle feels a lot better, does,” he said. “I got some time to rest. I got an X-ray done this morning. The doctor said it’s negative. Now, it’s about being strategic: making sure I take care of, wrap it properly and continue to dance!” Well? Who will win Dancing With the Stars?
