Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale Staging Photos

At the end of last week, I pointed out that a spuriously-sourced tabloid rumour about Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale was untrue. Since, you know, the report wasn’t based on anything and didn’t really make any sense (every one calm down). It was just a rumour from the creative fiction department of Star. That said, within 24-hours of the tabloid story coming out, Stefani and Rossdale staged these family photos together which is annoying because it’s only going to make people think they protest too much. The split rumours started January 27 and these photos, that I’m somehow just seeing now, were taken January 28 and 29. So, someone’s rep BBM-ed a bunch of frowny faces along with a link to the Star story, causing the family to pose for these pictures. They were together around Los Angels January 28. They staged pictures kissing in the park Jan 29.

Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale Aren’t Splitting

Star picked a couple at random with whom to play Tabloid Mad-Libs. ‘Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s reign as rock’s royal couple is coming to an end,’ claims the tabloid. A source tells Star the couple has been fighting: ‘When they got together, it was Gavin who had the big career. He’s had to watch as his rock-star status dwindled and hers soared to stellar levels. Gwen often wonders what… secrets Gavin is hiding, [she] feels like she doesn’t even know. Therapy doesn’t seem to be working. Everyone is saying a divorce could happen any day now. It’s not a question of if, it’s when.’ I’m gonna call ‘LOL, Nope!’ on this one, if only because it’s paper thin. Also, Gossip Cop and Rumor Fix sources deny the story (with the same wording): ‘Completely untrue. They are not divorcing.’

Aspen Took A Hit Out On Heidi Klum’s Marriage

The sources who admitted, 24-hours ago, that they had no damn idea what they were talking about have leaked more info to People.com about this weekend’s split (incidentally, for more-accurate news on the separation, go HERE or HERE). Sources told the magazine that Aspen took a hit out on Klum and Seal’s marriage and settled for no less than blood: ‘Aspen didn’t go as well as planned, there were more lows than highs. Aspen was the final straw. When they came together for Christmas as a family, things had changed and they fought a lot. Their Aspen trip was a bit of a mess. Instead of enjoying being back together as a family, it was difficult for them to get along… [Heidi was] done with the arguing. She doesn’t want to fight anymore and thinks it’s better to separate before their arguing starts to affect their kids.’ Here’s the couple in Aspen December 26.

Seal Does Damage Control About His Separation

Realising that he’s being blamed for the failure of his marriage after six-years and four chirrens, Seal is giving an on-camera interview and answering questions about what went wrong. Except he’s really dancing around the issues and instead pointing out that he’s not the angry seal everyone’s painting him as today: ‘[The break-up isn't nasty] we’re just not those kind of people,’ he said. ‘What one has to do in this situation is to remain civil, to retain one’s dignity, to be professional, and to understand that we are not the only people on this planet that are going through this.’ Seal’s interview will air on PBS Friday January 27.

Five photos of Seal in Los Angeles January 23, on his way to this very interview.

Heidi Klum & Seal’s Friends Out Of The Loop

I guess this explains why, hours before the release of a statement confirming separation, sources fed misinformation to People/ Us Weekly claiming that, SIKE, Heidi Klum and Seal were still together and working things out. The erroneous source reports claimed the couple were fighting but would not split. Um. In a statement to People.com Sunday night, because the only thing more fun than burying stories on a Friday evening is doing so Sunday evening, the couple said: ‘While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy.’ Turns out the sources who were BBM-ing ‘ZOMG, NO!’ had no damn idea what they were talking about. Jason Binn, a friend of Klum’s for more than 20 years, says ZOMG, NO: ‘All this is just shocking to me. I’ve only seen them as the most loving couple.’ A source who’s worked with Klum says ZOMG, NO: ‘The Heidi and Seal I knew was the couple everyone loves; super passionate and in love.’ Adds another… ZOMG, NOOOOO: ‘They were always all over each other, practically groping, totally in love. It has to be something major. They have four kids together, and they’ve always been very committed.’

Heidi Klum And Seal Confirm Separation

Since everyone knows what’s happening in their marriage anyway, Heidi Klum and Seal have confirmed their separation with a statement to People.com: ‘While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy.’ TMZ.com is still adamant that the couple will divorce, speculating Klum tired of Seal’s temper (differing from weekend reports in the British tabloids that his partying was to blame). The website claims Seal’s aggression was starting to affect their children and Klum’s too highfalutin to slum with an aggressive has-been. They’re living together for now, but that’ll change too.
