Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony split after failing to "see eye-to-eye" on Scientology.
The On The Floor hitmaker - who called time on her seven-year marriage to the singer last month - was reportedly hoping to send the couple's three-year-old twins Max and Emme to a specialist Scientology school, however Marc wasn't so keen on the idea.
A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Jennifer and Marc couldn't see eye-to-eye on the subject. She's always been more into the church than him. He wasn't a huge fan and it caused problems."
The 42-year-old star recently admitted she wished people wouldn't judge the Scientology religion - also followed by Jennifer's close friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes - before they know what it is.
She said: "I just wish that people wouldn't judge it without knowing what it is."
Despite the couple's shock split, Jennifer claimed she will remain an "eternal optimist", and is still confident about finding love again.
She recently explained: "This was the hardest decision I've ever had to face. I really wanted this family to work. That was my biggest dream, and I worked hard at it. We both did. Sometimes it doesn't work - and that's sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love...It's still my biggest dream."
Award winning actress Nicole Kidman has had quite the summer.
In addition to going peroxide blonde for her part in the upcoming thriller Paperboy, the 44-year-old Moulin Rouge star has been cast in the lead role for another spine-chiller – Stoker.
Stoker, a Park Chan-Wook directed film slated for release sometime in 2012, tells the story of an eccentric teen, India, whose enigmatic and estranged uncle returns to the family following the death of the girl’s father.
When people mysteriously start to go missing in her hometown at the same time, India begins to believe that her uncle may be the cause.
According to Indiewire, Kidman is set to play the role of the little girl’s mother and will be joined by a heavy hitting array of talent including Matthew Goode, Jacki Weaver, Lucas Till, and Mia Wasikowska.
While very few details are known about the film, we can expect that Chan-Wook – whose other films such as Oldboy and Thirst are famous for their immaculate framing, brutal subject matter, and epic twists – has more than a few surprises up his sleeve.
Anne Hathaway was wracked with nerves before shooting started on her new romantic movie One Day, because she had to perfect a northern English accent.
The Devil Wears Prada star fell in love with the role of Yorkshire-born Emma in the film, which is an adaptation of David Nicholls' 2009 novel.
Hathaway convinced director Lone Scherfig she was perfect for the part - but the American actress admits she initially doubted her ability to tackle the regional dialect.
She tells Britain's Marie Claire magazine, "I've never been so nervous about playing anyone as I was to play Emma.
"There were many reasons to say no to this part. One, because I didn't think I could pull it off. Two, I was very nervous about the Yorkshire accent."
The Modern Family bombshell,Sofia Vergara now 39, had her handsome son Manolo when she was just 19 — and the Colombian actress tells Redbook mag that the teenaged pregnancy had its benefits. "When I had Manolo, I was 19, and I had the energy for everything," she says. Vergara married Manolo's dad, her childhood sweetheart Joe Gonzalez, when she was just 18. The couple divorced two years later.
But the Emmy-nominated star, who is currently dating Florida politician Nick Loeb, can't imagine getting pregnant again. "My boyfriend now wants to have kids, and I don't even want to think about it," she admits. "I would have to get into that mind-set again, the waking up early.
Fans might be shocked to learn that Vergara, famous for her curves, once considered her body "hideous." But the rest of her body eventually caught up. "Then after I had my kid, I got hips and everything started to come together," she adds.
While in Russia promoting her new film Friends With Benefits, with co-star Justin Timberlake, Mila surprised a room full of journalists when she fired back a bold reporter who questioned Justin's career choice of acting, instead of singing.
"Why not?" Kunis testily replied. "What kind of question is that? Why are you here?"
Poor Justin had no idea was what going on until the translation came through his headset after the ordeal. He pointed at Mila and joked, "This is my bodyguard."
Kim Kardashian and fiance Kris Humphries stopped by Hansen Cakes in L.A. on Friday for some wedding cake tasting. Although the 30-year-old bride-to-be has recently revved up her fitness routine, she put aside her wedding slimdown plans to find the perfect sugary confection for her and Humphries' big day.
An insider told Us Weekly Kardashian also stopped by Mark's Garden -an upscale Sherman Oaks, Calif. flower shop specializing in arrangements for weddings and special events.
Although the reality star hasn't confirmed who will be designing her dress for the big day, she was spotted last month at Vera Wang's NYC store. Kim's sister Khloe, 27, wore Vera Wang for her Sept. 2009 wedding to Lamar Odom. "I hope she does [Kim's, too]," Khloe gushed to E! News. "Just because I love her, and I feel like when you think of weddings, you think of Vera Wang. It would be a perfect fit."
On July 23, Kim and her NBA beau, 26, celebrated their bachelorette and bachelor parties in Las Vegas. Although they initially promised not to see each other, Kim wandered next door and crashed Humphries' fete at LAVO. A source told Us Humphries proudly kissed his fiance in front of the entire nightclub.
"Cowboys &Aliens" star Olivia Wilde says it was "kind of strange" being half-naked in front of a bunch of people. To that we say - yeah.
Wilde tells MTV, "I was half-naked in front of a bunch of people, including the crew, a bunch of Apache warriors, a bunch of cowboys, and Daniel Craig, who I had to stand in front of basically naked. He had to take a moment to sort of look me up and down before covering me in a blanket. And I was like, this is crazy."
She also talks about how the movie tried to be authentically dirty. "We were literally dirty because we were riding all day long out in the desert, and you get very dirty. But the dirtier everybody looked, the hotter they looked. It was a really good look, I think. The people in the Old West were very dirty. The thing that's unrealistic about our movie is all our teeth: We have good teeth; they didn't have good teeth."
Heh. "Cowboys &Aliens" opens nationwide Friday, July 29. It looks like it could be the blockbuster of the summer.
Miranda Kerr's baby is beautiful, and her bod is back to perfection after giving birth to her and Orlando Bloom's son, Flynn. "I actually thought I was going to die at one point and left my body," Kerr tells Australian InStyle, which she graces the cover of this month. " I was looking down on myself, the pain was so intense."
The 28-year-old had previously only described the birth in vague terms, calling it "long and difficult."
Now, she tells the real deal behind how her natural childbirth felt.
"I kept thinking, 'How do women do this?' But if other women have done this, I can do it too. I was determined," she tells the mag.
And although the model mom quickly bounced back to her pre-baby Victoria's Secret bod, she said she would have been OK had that not been the case.
"Flynn is a big baby...and I thought to myself, 'I have so much more that I want to do aside from modeling," she said. "I can live with my body not being in shape if I have a healthy son. It's worth it."
Her hubby isn't just a pretty face either—Kerr calls Bloom a hands-on dad.
"It's whoever has their hands free. When I'm not working we don't have a nanny," she says.
And if Kerr, who is currently working on a new David Jones summer campaign, needs to jet off to work, she pumps her breastmilk beforehand and puts it in the freezer for daddy to feed to Flynn later.
Mila Kunis has been to plenty of award shows in the "Friends with Benefits" star's life, but she's just received an invite to an entirely different type of outing equally as special - a Marine Corps ball.
Sergeant Scott Moore, of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines in Musa Qala, Afghanistan, posted a clip on YouTube on Thursday, showing the military man asking Mila to be his date for his November event.
Hey Mila, this is Sgt. Moore, but you can call me Scott," the Marine said on the clip, after lowering his sunglasses to show the camera his eyes.
"I just want to take a moment out of my day to invite you to the Marine Corps Ball on November 18 in Greenville, N.C., with yours truly," he continued as he walked in the desert.
The soldier asked for help from the public in a comment he posted beneath the clip.
"[H]elp me make it happen!" he wrote.
Mila's new film, "Friends With Benefits," co-starring Justin Timberlake and Emma Stone, is due out on June 22.
Heidi Montag became one of the biggest stars in "The Hills"-verse as Lauren Conrad's sometime bestie, sometime nemesis. From episode one of the MTV reality show, Heidi's bad-girl ways ruled, making her a star and tabloid fixture. Montag has also tried her hand at various other occupations, including singer and fashion designer. She even starred with hubby Spencer Pratt on "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!," doing her best to survive the wilderness, all with the cameras rolling, of course.
On Sunday, Heidi launches the latest phase of her ever-evolving career. On the new VH1 reality show "Famous Food," she is back on reality TV, adding a new job to her résumé: restaurateur. Montag insists she has what it takes to meet the challenge of launching a restaurant in Los Angeles' already bustling food scene.
"I grew up in the restaurant industry; my parents had a restaurant since I was 2 years old," she told MTV News. "There was nothing easy about 'Famous Food.' Really it was very difficult."
Montag isn't the only big personality on the show. It also features famed call girl Ashley Dupre, Three 6 Mafia's DJ Paul and Juicy J, "Bachelor" star Jake Pavelka, "Sopranos" star Vincent Pastore and feisty "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Danielle Staub.
"We have a certain amount of time until we have to open the actual restaurant, and you're individually competing, but you also have to work collectively together as a group," she said. "So it's really hard whenever everyone thinks their opinion is right and they want to do it their way, but you have to agree at the end of the day. So it was a really competitive, cutthroat show."
If you assume that Montag is going to come off just like she did on "The Hills," think again. It seems that she has moved away from her drama-queen days. "I really want to stay away from all of the drama," she said. "And I just try to be like, 'OK, let's open a restaurant.' "
Ryan Rottman gives a kiss to girlfriend Victoria Justice as they take a bike ride around the neighborhood in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Hope your enjoying your time with family & friends…& you get to see lots of these :Had such an amazing weekend in LA hanging out with my family, friends, and my pups.
