The news of the breakup comes just a few weeks after the often-outspoken John opened up to "CBS Sunday Morning" about his relationship with the "Firework" pop star.
"For the first time in my life I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship. I really don't," John said in February. "For me it feels like something that's very human."

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough have decided to pull the plug on their relationship after more than two years of dating, sources confirm to Us .

And the notoriously busy Hollywood pair, who began dating in 2010, may have their packed schedules to blame.

"Honestly, their schedules were too hectic," a source tells Us. "It just got to be too much. I think they both just sort of knew they couldn't do it anymore. The travel and lifestyle got to be too much. Who knows if this is just for now, but I think this is for good."

In addition to hosting American Idol, Seacrest, 38, is also a radio host for his own show, On Air With Ryan Seacrest, as well as a red carpet host.

His 24-year-old love is similarly busy, promoting her latest flick Safe Haven, opposite Josh Duhamel, out in theaters just last month. She and brother Derek Hough, 27, are also currently collaborating on a Starz scripted drama about ballroom dance, titled Blackpool.

Last month, the former Dancing With the Stars pro dancer revealed that her Valentine's Day plans with Seacrest were going to be last-minute.

"I know there are plans, but I don't know what they are yet," she told Us in February. "I think I might be traveling. I'm not sure where. That's up to my boyfriend!"

Jenelle Evans is back at home after just four days in rehab, but the reality TV star claims that she was getting treated for the wrong thing -- blogging that she's addicted to relationships, not drugs.

Mother to 3-year-old son Jace, the Teen Mom 2 star previously signed off from Twitter on March 2, hinting that she was going to rehab "for you Jace, no one else."

Just four days later, however, the troubled reality star reportedly left the North Carolina rehab facility where she had been set to "address any addiction issues for drug use," her attorney, Dustin R.T. Sullivan, said in a statement.

Now, however, 21-year-old Evans says she ditched out early on her 30 days of rehab because she wasn't getting the help that she needed.

"I simply feel as if I didn't need to go to treatment if my problem isn't drugs anymore, and never will be again," she wrote Friday, March 15, on her Sulia page. "I need individual counseling and therapy if anything for being addicted to relationships. I can honestly admit this about myself and can't seem to help it unless I continue to get the help I need through therapy."

Last Sunday, March 10, Evans posted a photo of herself with little Jace in the backseat, along with the caption: "Just where I wanted to be. Morning sunshine." (Jace's dad is Evans' ex, Andrew Lewis.)

She added that she had originally sought treatment at a facility in Florida, but transferred to North Carolina after the original program turned out to be a "nightmare."

In her blog post, Evans also clarified that she is not currently seeing anyone, despite rumors that she and estranged husband Courtland Rogers have reconciled.

"Maybe instead of voicing what REALLY happened I'll just stay silent because silence is golden," she wrote. "But I will let everyone know that I AM SINGLE and I AM NOT DATING ANYONE. I'm focusing on myself and my son's life, nobody else's."

Earlier this year, Evans filed five assault charges against Rogers, 27. Both Evans and Rogers also accused each other of infidelity -- including his claim that Evans had reconnected with ex-boyfriend Gary Head behind his back.

Evans and Rogers tied the knot in December 2012 after just a few months of dating, but called it off after Evans accused Rogers of cheating on her.

Lil Wayne is currently in critical condition at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles following a series of seizures earlier this week, a source tells Us.

Conflicting reports about the status of the rapper's shaky health surfaced on Friday, March 15.

TMZ earlier reported that the "Tap Out" rapper was put into an induced coma after his condition was determined to be unstable. According to the site, the seizures were so severe this time that the rapper reportedly had to be put in restraints because he was shaking uncontrollably.

A source tells Us that Lil Wayne's condition is being wildly exaggerated, however. A tweet from the "Got Money" rapper's Twitter account Friday evening seemed to support that fact.

"I'm good everybody," the message read. "Thx for the prayers and love."



"Wayne is doing well," a rep for the rapper tells Us. "We appreciate your concern."

According to TMZ, Lil Wayne's mother is currently on a plane on her way to her son's bedside, and all further decisions about his health will be held until her arrival.

"His family is there," another source confirmed to Us. "Everyone is praying for him."

Cash Money president Mack Maine, meanwhile, took to Twitter himself to reassure concerned fans that Weezy was okay.



"Wayne is alive and well!" he wrote. "We watching the Syracuse game … thanks for the prayers and concern."

Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday, March 13 after one of his bodyguards found him unconscious on the floor of his room the same day he was released from the hospital following multiple seizures on Tuesday, March 12.

Brandi Glanville didn't just dream that she hooked up with Gerard Butler -- the actor has finally verified their tryst. On The Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM Radio Monday, March 11, Butler admitted he did sleep with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, but forgot her name.

"It was a one-afternooner, but it was fun," the Olympus Has Fallen actor, 43, told Howard Stern. "She is wild."

But Glanville, 40, made it sound like it was a little longer than that when she went public that they slept together during a Jan. 24 episode of Watch What Happens Live. Glanville said they "had a little week of fun" and gave him an "11" out of ten when rating him as a lover.

Butler was informed about Glanville's comments when a paparazzo confronted him as he was walking down a street and reportedly said, "Brandi Glanville says you're great in bed."

"And you know what I said: 'Who's Brandi Glanville?'" Butler recalled to Stern. "Because one, I didn't know her last name and two, I didn't know she was a celebrity and I didn't know she was going to f--king tell people about it!"

How did he not learn her name? "Here's the thing. You're at a beach party, you're having fun and this girl comes along," he says in his defense. "'So, what do you do?' She says, 'Doesn't matter.' We hung out. We had a little bit of fun."

Once Butler figured out who she was, he called Glanville up. "I said one, 'I'm not very happy you did that because there are certain things you keep a little private.' And two, 'I'm sorry I said I didn't know who you were!'"


Butler is now, however, happily off the market. At the after party of the NYC premiere Monday of his new film, Olympus Has Fallen, the actor told Us why he loves girlfriend Madalina Ghenea, a model/actress he's been dating for 10 months.

"What I love about her is she digs me. Not many people when they get to know me put up with me and she does," he confessed. "She's incredibly beautiful, sexy, she's very compassionate, super smart and truly, she does get me. That's nice. It's nice when somebody pins you and they know everything about you and they see it in a positive way. A lot of stuff that I don't see in a positive way, after she's pined me I say, maybe I'm all right. Maybe I'm not the biggest dickhead on the planet!"

Kim Kardashian's idea of taking it easy may be different from other people's. On Monday, March 11 -- six days after being urged to rest by her doctor -- the pregnant reality star reappeared in L.A. looking healthy, glamorous, and ready to take on the world.

Snapped pumping her own gas, the 32-year-old mom-to-be put her baby bump on full display in a tight black minidress with silver studs. She also wore black open-toed stiletto heels.

The Kourtney & Kim Take Miami star, expecting her first child with boyfriend Kanye West this July, has been laying low in recent days following a minor pregnancy scare on Tuesday, March 5. But a source told Us last week that she's "fine" and just needed a break from her hectic schedule.

"She's been working a lot, and with a divorce and the move and everything else she has going on, she just needs to take a little rest," the pal explained.

Kardashian's younger sister Khloe, 28, also reassured fans that all was well. "A lot of you have expressed concern in the recent hours about Kim," she wrote on her blog. "And I just wanted to let you all know that mommy and baby are doing fine and just taking it easy right now."

Added the mom-to-be herself on March 8: "Thanks for all the well wishes, I'm doing fine! Just resting...have a good weekend. Love you guys!"

Is Taylor Swift "mean" to her millions of adoring fans? The 23-year-old Grammy winner receives countless pieces of fan mail each week from around the world -- but over the weekend, a huge stockpile of said mail was discovered, unopened, laying in a dumpster in Swift's hometown of Nashville, Tenn. Local Kaylee Francescan discovered the motherlode of ignored letters "covered with pictures, hearts and sparkles" while throwing out the trash.

"There were like hundreds of letters in there to Taylor Swift and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh!' I didn't know if they were stolen [or] discarded, so I threw them in a box," Francescan told ABC Nashville station WKRN. "And I'm like, 'Somebody needs to let Taylor know,' It did bother me [because] I know how much her fans mean to her."

The fan mail is typically sent to a P.O. Box at a Nashville strip mall, with a member of the chart-topper's team fetching the mail regularly. Thankfully, it was simply a clerical error, Swift's rep tells Us Weekly.

"A small batch of mail that was supposed to be delivered to Taylor was accidentally put with letters headed for the recycling center," the rep explains.

Indeed, Swift's gratitude towards her fans is well known. "It blows me away how thoughtful and organized they are," Swift has said. "Sometimes they'll give me a scrapbook or a project that was made by hundreds of fans from around the world."

Taylor Swift, meet your next rock star beau: Steven Tyler! The Aerosmith frontman told Us on March 10 at the John Varvatos 10th Annual Stuart House Benefit in West Hollywood that he thought the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer was "hot."

The former American Idol judge also talked about missing working on the FOX show. "I always wanted to see what the other mountains looked like…. TV is a whole other animal, and it was good. I miss J.Lo a lot and Randy [Jackson] on and off." Three celebrity judges have since replaced Tyler and Jennifer Lopez: Keith Urban and dueling divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.

Tyler served as a judge on the show for Seasons 10 and 11 but decided to leave to return to his first love — music. "It feels good to be back with my band again. It feels really good," he told Us.

Two tickets to paradise, please! Joe Francis' super-exclusive Mexican resort has been the vacation destination of choice for Hollywood's rich-and-famous -- and now Francis is opening the doors of Casa Aramara to other clientele, too.

On Friday, March 8, the Girls Gone Wild entrepreneur announced that he had decided to make his Punta Mita estate available to rent. Previously, the 40,000-square-foot property was accessible only to those who had been personally invited by Francis himself.


"Casa Aramara is one of the most luxurious private resort properties in the world, and I'm thrilled to announce that this incredible, one-of-a-kind destination is now available for the few discriminating people who only want the finest life has to offer," Francis tells Us Weekly exclusively.

Guests at the resort will have access to a wide variety of activities and amenities, including private spa treatments, whale watching, scuba diving, 24-hour butler service, and personal training. There are also two five-star chefs on the premises to prepare meals.

In the past, the sprawling seaside retreat has been a getaway for stars including Jennifer Aniston, Eva Longoria, Demi Moore, and the Kardashian family. Earlier this year, Kourtney Kardashian took boyfriend Scott Disick and their two kids to Casa Aramara, where she was photographed showing off her post-baby bikini body on the beach and by the pool. And last December, Extra host Mario Lopez used the property as the site for his wedding to Courtney Mazza.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, one of the five cohorts of ABC's daytime talk show The View, will not be returning to the couch next season, following hot on the footsteps of fellow cohost Joy Behar, a source tells Us Weekly.



Miley Cyrus spent a wild night out in Hollywood -- and the guy on her arm was not fiance Liam Hemsworth. The LOL actress hit up a house party with pal Paul Khoury on Thursday, March 7, and for the second night in a row, she was without her engagement ring.



Carrie Bradshaw practically lived in Manolo Blahniks, but the actress who played her is trading her heels for flats -- on doctor's orders. "I went to a foot doctor and he said, 'Your foot does things it shouldn't be able to do. That bone there...You've created that bone,'" Sarah Jessica Parker says.



Looks like George Clooney's bachelor status is here to stay. The Argo producer's year-and-a-half-long romance with girlfriend Stacy Keibler has run its course, multiple sources reveal in the March 18 issue of Us Weekly.



Kourtney Kardashian has no qualms about sharing her weight ups and downs with the world. In the March 10 episode of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami, the mother of two -- who welcomed daughter Penelope in July 2012 -- steps onto the bathroom scale while chatting with boyfriend Scott Disick and sister Kim Kardashian.

Get ready for another Queen of England? Kate Middleton dropped a major hint that she is pregnant with a baby girl during a visit to the National Fishing Heritage Centre in Grimsby, England on Tuesday, March 5. During the engagement, the expectant Duchess of Cambridge, 31, was given a white teddy bear by a local, Diane Burton. "Thank you, I'll take that for my d--" Prince William's wife replied, tellingly cutting herself off mid-sentence.



Awkward dinner date! Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were decided to grab a late-night meal at an NYC restaurant on Monday, March 4 the same night Kim Kardashian's estranged husband Kris Humphries was dining there, a source tells Us.



Sean Lowe, this is your life. In less than a week, America will watch as the 29-year-old Dallas native makes his final choice and rides off into the sunset -- but first, the frequently shirtless Bachelor has to face all the women he sent packing to get to this point. How does the song go? Reunited and it feels so...awkward? Hostile?



Why you gotta be so mean? Amy Poehler and Tina Fey earned rave reviews for their hilarious stint as emcees for the 2013 Golden Globe Awards in January, but there was at least one person in the audience who didn't think their schtick was so funny: country superstar Taylor Swift. The 23-year-old "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer found herself the butt of one of the duo's jokes -- Fey warned her to "stay away from Michael J. Fox's son -- and judging by her reaction in the April issue of Vanity Fair, she was not amused.



Britney Spears may be done with The X Factor, but she still has to deal with the other ex factor: Kevin Federline, her ex-husband and father of her two children, Sean Preston, 7, and Jayden James, 6. These days, though, all seems well between the former couple.

Did Harry Styles have a wandering eye? In the April issue of Vanity Fair, Taylor Swift opens up her most recent breakup with the One Direction boy bander. The 23-year-old country singer and 19-year-old British heartthrob split in early January after a few months of dating.

In the magazine, Swift says she not the "clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend" that she's made out to be. In fact, the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer claims Styles pursued her.

Swift, who only discusses her romances through song, authorized a source to speak on her behalf to Vanity Fair. According to the insider, Styles "wore her down" to get her to finally agree to be his girlfriend. "He was all, like, 'You're amazing -- I want to be with you. I want to do this.'"



The relationship got rocky when Swift saw a picture of Styles "making out" with a friend. She broke things off, but Styles eventually convinced her to take him back. "But the whole time she says she feels like he's looking at every girl," the source says. When they were in London together, the boy band member "disappeared " one evening and "after that it was like he just didn't want to keep going." Styles' rep, however, says the claims are "undeniably false."



Though their relationship didn't exactly end on the best terms, Styles had only nice things to say about his exes' performance at the Brit Awards on Feb. 20. Calling the act "great," Styles told Us Weekly, "She always puts on a good show."

Swift, however, was recently photographed filming a music video her song "22" and appeared to be imitating Styles by dressing like him. The first lyrics of the song, are, in fact, "It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters and make fun of our exes."

Girls just want to have fun -- and that's exactly what Kim Kardashian and La La Vasquez set out to do on Friday, March 1. The pregnant reality star, 32, and Vasquez, 33, hit the town with radio DJ Angie Martinez and designer Rachel Roy in Beverly Hills, where they feasted at celebrity hotspot Nobu.

Vasquez, who is married to New York Knicks player Carmelo Anthony, went patriotic in a red, white, and blue-striped minidress. Kardashian, meanwhile, opted for curve-hugging black pants, a loose-fitting tee, and a blush-colored tuxedo jacket with black lapels.

Earlier in the day, the designer talked about about her approach to maternity fashion in a new "mommy blog" post on her website. Specifically, she addressed the challenges she's faced in dressing her changing body during these first months of pregnancy. (The Kourtney & Kim Take Miami star is due to give birth to her first child with boyfriend Kanye West in July.)



"For me, I've found that I've gained inches and I've gotten wider but my belly hasn't popped yet, so I struggle finding things that don't make me look heavy," the mom-to-be explained of her recent style choices, which have included metallic peplum pants and a see-through black shirt. "Some days my baby bump really shows, and some days it doesn't...so I never really know what I'm going to look like."



"At this stage, I guess I'm more focused on concealing the weight gain than I am about dressing the bump, just because it hasn't popped yet," she added. "Once I start showing more, I'll be all about showing off my bump, and I can't wait!"

In the meantime, she's happy to keep experimenting with different looks. "I'm definitely having a lot of fun with my maternity fashion," Kardashian concluded. "[I] love trying new things."

Justin Bieber gets by with a little help from his friends -- and his fans. After the "Nothing Like Us" singer posted on Twitter about what he called his "worst birthday," Beliebers all over the globe rallied to turn things around. And it looks like it worked.

On Saturday, March 2, the 19-year-old heartthrob returned to the micro-blogging site to express his appreciation for all the sweet messages from fans. "I see and saw all the posts from around the world," he wrote. "U got me smiling. Love u. Thank u."



Bieber then proceeded to retweet several of the kind shout-outs, along with a quote from his manager, Scooter Braun: "Life is a roller coaster. Just know when u dip low it is only to build excitement as u will fly high again. Enjoy the journey."



March 1 was certainly a low for the pop star. He and some of his pals -- including Will Smith's son Jaden Smith -- were celebrating his birthday in London when the party was cut short by security at Cirque du Soir, who told Bieber's team that Smith, 14, wasn't old enough to be at the club.



"There was never any mention of Jaden being there, so when he showed up, it caused problems," a source told Us of the confrontation. "They could have stayed if Jaden left, but Justin wanted to be loyal to his good friend."

On Friday, March 1, things got a little too close for comfort when he and his 4-year-old daughter, Seraphina, were swarmed by some particularly aggressive paparazzi outside her school.



Looks like Justin Bieber's happy birthday had a very unhappy ending. Shortly after heading out to celebrate turning 19 years old on Friday, March 1, the singer returned to Twitter with a short but telling summary of his night.

Countdown to baby! Shiri Appleby shared a photo of her bare baby bump in a bikini shot on Instagram Friday, March 1. The Girls guest-star and Chicago Fire actress, 34, is expecting her first child with fiance Jon Shook any day now. "T minus 20 days," the pregnant star captioned the shot.

In the stunning photo, Appleby proudly shows off her growing bump in a green string bikini while posing for the camera on the beach. Appleby and Shook, who become engaged during a July 2012 trip to Ventotene, Italy, have decided to keep the gender of their baby a surprise.

"He really wanted to do it and it sounded like fun," the actress told Us Weekly of her fiance, a chef at L.A.'s Animal. "It's really made the whole pregnancy a heightened excitement because you just don't know what it's going to be!"



Appleby celebrated her baby shower on Jan. 27 and her fiance's eatery with about 50 of her female friends. The mom-to-be told Us that her pregnancy has brought her even closer together with Shook.



"When you see this guy going to all the doctor's appointments with you and you tell him you're feeling a certain way and two minutes later he's looked it up on the Internet to tell you that it's normal, you realize that you're really starting a family with somebody," she told Us, "and it's just -— there's no way to look at that person and not be more in love."

Mobama is on to the haters. After Michelle Obama's surprise appearance (via satellite) at the tail end of last Sunday's Academy Awards was met with bemusement, confusion and, in some corners, criticism, the First Lady tells the Associated Press she's "absolutely not surprised."

"Shoot, my bangs set off a national conversation," President Barack Obama's wife, 49, said of the morning-after hubbub. The First Lady appeared in the White House, decked out in a Naeem Khan gown, with servicemen and women behind her, to present the Best Picture winner (Argo) at the conclusion of the Oscars Feb. 24. (Part of the complaint: Best Picture Director Ben Affleck -- not to mention nominee Steven Spielberg, performer Barbra Streisand and scores of other stars present during the ceremony -- are lifelong Democrats and vocal Obama supporters.)



"My shoes can set off a national conversation. That's just sort of where we are. We've got a lot of talking going on," Mrs. Obama said during a Thursday, Feb. 28 appearance in Chicago of the omnipresent Twitterverse and blogosphere. "It's like everybody's kitchen-table conversation is now accessible to everybody else so there's a national conversation about anything."



The mom to Sasha, 11, and Malia, 14, explained that her Oscars appearance fit in with one of her missions as First Lady: The support the arts. Indeed, she recently hosted the director and cast of Oscar-nominated film Beasts of the Southern Wild to the White House for a Q&A session with students.

"I just don't think about that stuff," she said of the criticism. Obama was in her hometown as to mark the third anniversary of her "Let's Move" campaign against childhood obesity.

Kardashian, 28, donned the dress at Elton John's annual Oscars viewing party in West Hollywood on Sunday, Feb. 24. "It was so much fun seeing the stunning dresses, jewels, hair and makeup worn by all of the beautiful fashionistas in attendance," the X Factor co-host blogged the following day. "It truly was the ultimate people watching experience."



Lamar Odom's wife wore her highlighted brown hair down in loose waves and completed her look with a coral lip. Hough showed off her fit figure in the citrine silk crepe column dress to the Rock of Ages premiere in Hollywood on June 8, 2012.



Unlike Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest's girlfriend wore her blonde locks in a messy topknot and added an orange-red lip. She styled the look with Stephen Webster jewels.

New collaboration coming up! Matthew Morrison and Adam Levine were spotted at Capitol Studios together Feb. 9, and a source tells Us Weekly they're working on a duet.

The Maroon 5 frontman, 33, and Glee star, 34, are recording a cover of "Luck Be a Lady," the source tells Us. The song was written by Frank Loesser in 1950, and was featured in the musical Guys and Dolls. It also became one of Frank Sinatra's signature hits.

The new track will appear on Morrison's upcoming album, which is under Levine's label, 222 Records.

"Starting my own label has been a long time goal of mine and I am thrilled to be at the point in my career where it is finally happening," the "Moves Like Jagger" singer said in a statement earlier this month. "I am excited for everyone to hear Matthew's forthcoming album. Great things are in store for him with this release."



And Morrison, who previously released a self-titled album in May 2011 with Mercury Records, was happy to sign on. "Adam and I share the same vision as we begin working on my record together," he said in a statement.



The two hunks have been pals for a few years. "Matthew wanted to make a Broadway standards record," the source tells Us of Morrison, who starred in many Broadway shows before landing Glee. "And Adam loves classic records."

Jesse Tyler Ferguson is no groom-zilla, but the Modern Family star admits plotting his nuptials with husband-to-be Justin Mikita is a daunting task. "It's been a little stressful," the redheaded actor, 37, told Us Weekly Wednesday at the Tie the Knot Spring Collection bash, held at Avenue in NYC.

Working with a wedding planner, the twosome are looking ahead to a summertime wedding, Ferguson told Us -- based in the Big Apple. "We wanted to get married in New York, because that's where it's legal, so we want to support the state that's in support of us," the Emmy nominee explained.



The vows and bash will take place in a "beautiful loft space," he added. "It's so nice -- I can't wait to see it all done." The guest list is "around the 200 mark -- which to me seems big -- but people are telling me it's not that bad."

One wedding tradition the couple aren't partaking in: A wedding party. "We aren't doing that," he said at the TieTheKnot bash. (The future spouses co-designed a "TieTheKnot" bowtie collection, with all proceeds going towards groups focused on LGBT rights.)



"He means a lot to me," Ferguson said of his man. "So it's really special."

Kim Kardashian's latest outfit -- her "favorite pregnancy look" to date -- is white-hot, but she admits that she has struggled to dress her changing body as she prepares to give birth to her first child with boyfriend Kanye West.



Scott Disick hasn't been feeling the love from Kourtney Kardashian, his longtime girlfriend and the mother of his two children -- and Kourtney's sister Kim thinks the lack of affection and attention could cause the notorious party boy to stray.



Tori Spelling is fighting back against a Star magazine cover that claims the actress is on the brink of divorcing husband Dean McDermott, with whom she has four children. "He has stood by me during the good times and held my hand through the darkest moments of my life," she wrote in an open letter. "I'm so blessed to have him."



Gwyneth Paltrow is playing Fashion Police -- with herself! In the latest issue of Goop, the actress turns a critical eye on some of her red carpet hits and misses...and she's not afraid to admit that she slipped up a few times.
