Real Breakup Stories From Celebrity Ex-Partners
Model Gigi Paris broke up with Glen Powell after three years together, during which his profile skyrocketed due to dating rumors between the actor and his Anyone But You co-star, Sydney Sweeney. Gigi said that Glen agreed to lean into the speculation for PR purposes, despite her discomfort, saying, "It was just, 'This is what I have to do for my job.' I had two options. I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like, 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the fuck?' Or stand up for myself." "I just wanted respect, especially if it's gonna be public. Like, don't make an ass out of me. Like, just don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years, talking about forever with. Just have some decency," she continued. "And at the end of the day, it was like, 'Well, work comes first.' And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I gotta walk away. What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs." Before he dated his Wicked costar Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater was in a relationship with his high school sweetheart, psychologist Lily Jay. After their divorce, she wrote an essay for the Cut where she said, "I really never thought I would get divorced. Especially not just after giving birth to my first child and especially not in the shadow of my husband's new relationship with a celebrity. In this season of shock and mourning, over a year after the end of my marriage was made public, I deeply miss the life of invisibility I created for myself as a psychologist specializing in women's mental health." "It was a tenuous balance — my profession, which requires privacy, and his, which is measured in applause — but it worked well while life was unfolding according to our plans," she continued, adding, "Days when I can't escape the promotion of a movie associated with the saddest days of my life are darker." Chelsea Winstanley is a successful Māori film producer, writer, and director in her own right. However, when her ex-husband Taika Waititi began hitting the Marvel big-time, things changed in their relationship. "I didn't want to be the dutiful wife and race over to the Gold Coast [in Australia], where he was making Thor, and sit in an apartment all day long, fucking twiddling my thumbs, and bring the kids out," she previously explained in 2024. "That probably was the beginning of the unraveling because I wasn't that pandering, dutiful, get on my knees and whatever you want.' Someone else was, though," she added, seemingly confirming cheating speculation. "I didn't know that until many years later." There's been ample speculation that Chris Pratt's sudden rise to mega-fame played a part in his 2017 split from Anna Faris, who was previously the more well-known one in the relationship. In her memoir, Unqualified, she wrote about the strain of his success in a segment addressed to Chris: "I'm thrilled and grateful that you are doing the things you are, and I have crazy pride in the fact that your talents are recognized, but it can be hard not to have a moment of self-doubt when my husband is acting with young women in big movies and I'm playing a role in Mom that, while I love it, is completely unsexy." Elsewhere in her memoir, she wrote, "A while back, Chris asked me if I felt a lot of pressure from being in a high-profile relationship and I told him that I did — it was an odd circumstance. That he was asking that question made me think he probably felt that way, too." When author Justine Musk started dating her ex-husband, Elon Musk, they were both students. As she later wrote of his rising business profile in 2010, "Although I'd been dating a struggling 20-something entrepreneur, I was now engaged to a wealthy one." Justine said that Elon's South African upbringing and "he vast economic imbalance between us" resulted in a "certain dynamic" between them. "Elon's judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking. 'I am your wife,' I told him repeatedly, 'not your employee,'" she wrote. "'If you were my employee,' he said just as often, 'I would fire you.'" He would go on to get engaged to actor Talulah Riley six weeks after their split. Cynthia Lennon gave birth to her child with then-husband John Lennon, right around the same time that Beatlemania began to take over the world. In her 2005 memoir, John, she wrote that she was told to "stay away" and even blocked entrance into a hotel John was staying in as security thought that she was a fan. John would go on to admit to numerous affairs following his fame, with their relationship ending shortly after she walked in on him and Yoko Ono sitting in robes. She wrote in her memoir, "The truth is that if I'd known as a teenager what falling for John would lead to, I would have turned round right then and walked away." Finally, Tom Cruise's first marriage, prior to his Top Gun success, was to actor Mimi Rogers. He would go on to initiate their divorce shortly before filming Days of Thunder, where he fell in love with his second wife, Nicole Kidman. In an interview in 2001, she said she didn't mind being the less famous one in their relationship, explaining, "I was doing the work that I wanted to do, and if I didn't have the commercial success that Tom had well, that's just the luck of the draw. When I met him, his career was just beginning to take off, and neither of us could imagine that he would become such a big star in such a short time." "But the stardom wasn't really a problem. What did annoy me, though, was the age thing," she said of their age gap. "Some of the tabloids brought it up all the time, and exaggerated the gap between Tom and me. Every six months they seemed to add a year to my age. If Tom and I were still married, the tabloids would probably have me in my sixties by now." Do any other high-profile examples come to mind?

From kopitiam to cool: How the white tank top became a style staple for men
Celebrities like Glen Powell and Jeremy Allen White have been incorporating the white tank top look. Photo composite: Instagram/Glen Powell, Calvin Klein As a man in Malaysia, you might feel a twinge of apprehension about putting on a white sleeveless top. Why? Because this humble piece of clothing, also know locally as a singlet, has long been linked to the image of a retiree idling at the local kopitiam – more laid-back than fashion-forward. Celebrities, however, are reclaiming the white tank top, turning it into a symbol of cool. Paired with tailored trousers, layered under blazers or worn solo with confidence, the white tank top is no longer just off-duty loungewear. It is now a definitive style statement. Last week, the latest Superman, David Corenswet, shared a photo of himself in a white tank top. He posted it together with a shot of Nicholas Hoult in a matching look, with the caption jokingly accusing his co-star (who plays Lex Luthor) of stealing his look. While it was more of a tongue-in-cheek nod to their on-screen rivalry, the pictures also reinforced the white tank top's rising status as a sleek, confident style staple for men.

Jeremy Allen White wore one in a Calvin Klein campaign, while Timothee Chalamet showed off his bare arms in a similar style for a Chanel fragrance ad. Glen Powell, too, has shared photos of himself relaxing in a white sleeveless top. Timothee Chalamet showed off his arms in a fragrance campaign. Photo: Chanel If you are still doubtful, perhaps it shows your age. Young Malaysian artistes like Sky Iskandar and Sean Lee have made it something of a go-to for an easy, effortlessly cool off-duty vibe. Their trick? Wear a white tank top with open-toe sandals (which is also a big menswear trend right now), sneakers and just the right dose of confidence. Layering is also key to pulling the look together – throw on a breezy button-down shirt, a camp-collar top or a nice jacket to add structure without sacrificing comfort. During the Spring/Summer 2025 womenswear shows last year, the white tank top was everywhere on the runways. Major fashion labels like Gucci, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli and Fendi all featured it on their models. So it is only natural that the men are now co-opting it for their own everyday stylish looks. Wear it with a jacket and tailored pants for a dressed-up look. Photo: Instagram/Sky Iskandar It also works as a holiday look – relaxed yet stylish enough to show you haven't given up on fashion. Photo: Instagram/Sean Lee Read more: Step up, guys! Let these stylish celebrities inspire your shoe game If you are still wondering what makes the white tank top so enduring, it is simplicity. It flatters a range of body types, works across styles – from streetwear to minimalist – and requires very little to make a statement. It is this versatility that has won over a new generation of style-conscious men. Ultimately, it is not just about wearing the tank top, but how you wear it. Or, to put it more poetically, such a look is all about the mindset. You just need the right attitude to truly pull it off. For Malaysians, think less 'uncle' and more 'cool leading man'.

Why Glen Powell's 'Running Man' Role 'Worries' His Mom
While speaking to Entertainment Tonight earlier this week, Glen Powell revealed that his mother isn't too happy about his latest role in Edgar Wright's The Running Man. Powell stars as Ben Richards in the sci-fi action film, which is based off of Stephen King's 1982 novel and finds a group of 'runners' competing to outlast professional hitmen for the chance to win a huge cash prize. The film is a remake of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film of the same name. 'I'm getting to do some really cool stuff,' Powell revealed of his role. 'That really worries my mom,' he added jokingly. The Top Gun: Maverick star noted that after signing onto the role, he realized, ''Man, I'm gonna get my ass kicked for two hours in this movie.'' Powell continued: 'You have a guy that's basically on the run, at the highest stakes game show of all time, where the survival rate is zero, and he's trying to beat the odds. It's a great underdog story.'The actor previously told People that he received Schwarzenegger's blessing to take on the role. "Patrick Schwarzenegger is a great friend of mine, and I asked Patrick if I could talk to Arnold and I hadn't seen Arnold since we shot Expendables in Bulgaria,' Powell explained. "Arnold gave us his full blessing and we get to give Arnold a very specific fun gift from the movie in a couple of weeks here. So I'm very excited to see him.' In addition to Powell, The Running Man stars Josh Brolin, Colman Domingo, Michael Cera, and William H. Macy. It hits cinemas on November 7. You can check out the trailer below.

Stephen King's The Running Man Also Gets First Trailer
A month ago we got the trailer for The Long Walk , an adaptation of a Stephen King novel where kids go on a life-and-death game show where they have to walk. Now we have a trailer for another live-and-death game show from King, but this time, the contestants run . Check out the trailer for The Running Man starring Glen Powell and directed by Edgar Wright: In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show's charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben's defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall. ome Just in case you need a reminder, Edgar Wright is the same guy behind cult favorites like the Cornetto Trilogy and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. His last movie, Last Night in Soho came out back in 2021 and had him embracing the horror genre, but now he's back to snappy action, and this time he has rising star Glen Powell as well as a former collaborator in the form of Michael Cera. Admittedly, Wright has been taking it slow when it comes to his recent projects, but this could be a great comeback. He was also said to have been in the running to direct the next Bond movie; but unfortunately he lost that to Denis Villeneuve. Personally, I have my fingers crossed that Wright eventually comes back to Marvel and helms a rebooted Guardians of the Galax y trilogy. I mean, if he's not interested in Star Wars , maybe a GOTG film would be the next best thing for a director of his brand. Watch out for The Running Man when it comes to cinemas on Nov. 7.
