Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid's love story is over: The duo has broken up after more than two years of dating. The singer confirmed the split on Twitter on March 13. "Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship and I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and a friend. She has such an incredible soul," he wrote. "I'm grateful to all of our fans for respecting this difficult decision and our privacy at this time, we wish this news could have come from us first. We love you all. xZ." A few minutes later, the model also addressed he split. "Breakup statements often seem impersonal because there is really no way to put into words what two people experience together over a few years.. not only in the relationship, but in life in general," she wrote on Twitter. "I'm forever grateful for the love, time, and life lessons that Z and I shared. I want nothing but the best for him and will continue to support him as a friend that I have immense respect and love for. As for the future, whatever's meant to be will always be. xG." Friends, though, think the two could eventually reconcile. "It's a mutual decision so no one has completely ruled out a reunion in the future," the source told The Sun, "but for now that's not where their heads are at."

On-stage collapse
Tim McGraw is fine after collapsing while performing in Ireland on March 11. After the incident, wife Faith Hill took the microphone and told fans she was sorry and that Tim had been really dehydrated. "I apologize, but I made the decision that he cannot come back out on stage," she said. The next day, a TMZ cameraman saw the country star, who's known for sticking to an intense exercise regimen, at New York's JFK airport and asked him how he's feeling. "Good, man!" he said, adding that the collapse was brought on by "lots of flying and dehydration." Asked how he'll prevent this from happening again, Tim said he's going to have to "cut my workouts short."

Retiring?
Is Cameron Diaz retiring from acting? That was the scuttlebutt throughout the week after her pal, Selma Blair, said that was the case. In an interview with Metro News UK, Selma started speaking about 2012's "The Sweetest Thing," which she starred in with Cam. "I had lunch with Cameron the other day," she said. "We were reminiscing about the film. I would have liked to do a sequel but Cameron's retired from acting. She's like, 'I'm done.'" Selma added, "I mean, she doesn't need to make any more films. She has a pretty great life, I don't know what it would take to bring her back. She's happy." As the media began reporting on her comments, Selma backpedaled. "BREAKING NEWS," she tweeted on March 12. "Guys please, I was making a joke in an interview. CAMERON DIAZ is NOT retiring from ANYTHING. And for more breaking news: I am NOW retiring from being Cameron Diaz's spokesperson." The person at the center of this all, Cameron, has not commented.

Support me
Julie Bowen's estranged husband, real estate investor Scott Phillips, wants her to fork over some cash. TMZ reported on March 13 that he's asking for spousal support in the wake of Julie's February divorce filing, which could net him a ton if his bid's successful. Julie reportedly makes $500,000 per episode of "Modern Family," and she also brings in a lot of money from endorsement deals. She's already asked a judge to deny his request. In addition to spousal support, Scott also wants joint physical and legal custody of their three children, Oliver, 10, and twins John and Gustav, 8. Really, though, it's all about the finances. Forbes estimates that Julie made about $10 million in 2016.
On the move or nah?
This was a doozy! A March 15 report indicated that Matt Damon was moving to Australia because of President Donald Trump's policies. The actor's rep, Jennifer Allen, quickly shot down the claim. "Matt has visited Australia several times recently, but he has not bought a house there nor is he moving there," she told Boston.com. A source had told the New York Post, "Matt's telling friends and colleagues in Hollywood that he's moving the family to Australia" because he disagrees with Trump's policies. The source added, "Matt's saying the move will not impact his work as he will travel to wherever his projects are shooting. He's also telling friends he wants to have a safe place to raise his kids." It's well-documented that Matt is no fan of Trump, but his feet are still firmly planted in the United States.
