Eva Longoria, Eduardo Cruz Split

Finale time for Eva Longoria and Eduardo Cruz.

After a year together, the Desperate Housewives actress, 36, and the singer (younger brother to Penelope Cruz), have called it quits, a source close to the couple confirms exclusively to Us Weekly.

The pair split within the last couple days, with Cruz returning to his native Madrid, Spain.

"It was a mutual decision," the source explains to Us. "They are staying friends."

And Longoria has just the thing to keep her distracted, the source adds. "She's focusing on work and the end of Desperate Housewives." Still, it appears she will be spending her 37th birthday, March 19, single.

After being introduced at a party by his sister Penelope, sexy singer Eduardo first stepped out with Longoria in February of last year on a yacht in Florida. Indeed, he became an enduring rebound romance for Longoria -- whose painful late 2010 divorce from Tony Parker dominated headlines.

(Longoria was compelled to split from the San Antonio Spurs player after she discovered hundreds of inappropriate texts between him and another woman, their close pal Erin Barry.)

And Longoria was clearly smitten with her new man when he helped her celebrate her 36th birthday last March. "Everything in my life is great!" she told Us at the time. The couple made frequent PDA-packed appearances at A-list parties in L.A., Miami and elsewhere.

Still, after attending Kim Kardashian's ill-fated August 2011 wedding, Longoria admitted she wasn't sold on remarrying. "I don't know," she said. "Ask a woman after divorce if she's gonna get married, you won't get an honest answer."

Jersey Shore's Snooki Pregnant

Though earlier this month she denied pregnancy rumors, reports say Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is, in fact, expecting her first child, sources tell the New York Post.

The Jersey Shore star is roughly three months pregnant, and the baby's father is her boyfriend, Jionni LaValle, according to the paper, which also notes that as recently as Feb. 2, the diminutive reality star went on ABC's Good Morning America and shot down stories about her being in a family way.

"I definitely do want kids, but I'm not pregnant," Snooki, 25, told Lara Spencer. "Being pregnant should be a real thing and a happy thing, and I'm not."

While the Post's source suggests Snooki is trying to parlay the pregnancy into lucrative marketing deals, it remains unclear how or if her condition will factor into Jersey Shore or a recently announced spinoff show starring Snooki and Jenni "JWoww" Farley.

A rep for MTV tells PEOPLE: ""Nicole and Jenni began filming last week and moved into their new digs with animal print furniture in tow. Things are going great thus far," while Polizzi's rep, asked about the New York Post story, told PEOPLE, "No comment."

The police also arrested the actress's 32-year-old stepbrother, who used to accompany her to different cities. Shockingly, the actress's father, who runs a photo studio at Versova in Mumbai, ran the racket and would identify clients for his daughter, the police said. He is yet to be arrested.

Speaking to TOI, senior police inspector Bhanupratap Barge said the actress recently played the lead role in three Tamil movies, none of which have been released yet. As a child, she had acted in several Tamil films. She has also modelled for the garment and diamond industries in Chennai, he said.

Acting on a tip-off, a police team from the social security cell of the crime branch laid a trap at a five-star hotel at Vimannagar and arrested the actress and her stepbrother. "Police constable Ashok Takalkar received a tip-off about the actress's father running a sex racket in the city. We also got information that some models and actresses from the film industry were involved in the racket. We got someone to pose as a client and contacted the actress's father. The father said he would get a Tamil model and actress, who would charge Rs 3 lakh for two hours," Barge said.

The father also asked the man posing as a client to book two rooms, one for the actress and another for her stepbrother, at the Vimannagar hotel, Barge said. "On Saturday night, the actress came to the hotel with her stepbrother. We arrested them and charged them under relevant sections of the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act," Barge said.

During interrogation, the actress said they had flown to Mumbai from Chennai on Saturday and came to Pune in a private taxi. "The woman also revealed that her father acted as her agent. She had come to Pune twice earlier for prostitution," Barge said.

"The actress told us that she was involved in prostitution as she was short on money. We have transferred the case to the Yerawada police station for further investigations," Barge said.

Caroline has come to Pune twice earlier. She has been charging as much as Rs 3 lakh for two hours. Her customers were also made to pay for air travel and two suites in the hotels they stayed — one for her and the customer and one for the agent.

Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young break up

Lee min ho and Park Min young broke up!

To many fans’ sadness, it has just been revealed that ‘City Hunter‘ couple, Park Min Young and Lee Min Ho, have broken up.

After completing SBS‘s ‘City Hunter’, the duo had revealed their relationship to the public during the summer last year. Although Park Min Young and Lee Min Ho called it quits a while ago, they were reluctant to reveal their separation as they had to consider their agencies’ positions.

Park Min Young’s side stated, “It has been a while since the two met. Because it was embarrassing to directly reveal that they broke up and she had to consider the agency’s position, she did not reveal that she cleaned up their relationship.”

The agency continued, “They became strangers before the 2011 Acting Awards. With this reason, Park Min Young and Lee Min Ho had attended two different award ceremonies... Lee Min Ho went to SBS Acting Awards, while Park Min Young had went to the KBS Acting Awards.”

The biggest reason the two parted ways laid in their busy schedules. Park Min Young’s side stated, “Park Min Young had to film for KBS‘s ‘Man of Honor‘, she did not have time to rest for a while. Lee Min Ho also had to film for his advertisements and attend his oversea activities, and we know that he is very busy... The two could not meet often and naturally broke up.”

Lee Min Ho’s agency is still confirming the news with the actor as a representative stated, “After we saw the reports that Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young broke up, we haven’t yet confirmed it with him... If the two had broken up, Lee Min Ho would have told us and there has been no story yet.”

Is Angelina Jolie pregnant?

Angelina Jolie 3 months pregnant as she and Brad Pitt get set for baby no. 7

Angelina Jolie has reportedly told friends that she is expecting a baby again and is into the first trimester of pregnancy, sources revealed.

The 35-year-old and her 48-year-old partner Brad Pitt already raise six children together.

The A-listser couple has been dropping hints for weeks about wanting another baby and friends told OK! magazine their new bundle of joy is on the way.

"It's not something she wants to officially announce but she's at a point where she is telling a select group of people. Angelina is really savouring every moment. She's having a tough time with morning sickness but says it's all worth it," the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

Angelina turned heads on Sunday in her elegant Versace gown at the Golden Globes - with no sign of a baby bump.

The demands of pregnancy will, however, force the screen beauty to relax the eating regime that keeps her ultra-sleek.

"Because Angelina sees so much starvation up close, it's always hard for her to indulge in food," a pal said.

The Salt star has already begun decorating for the new arrival to their brood.

"Angelina has cleared out her bedroom and redone it in white. She wants it to have a Zen-like feeling because she believes in the mind-body connection and wants her mind at peace," a friend said

If you’re a romantic you’ll love this punchy classic and so will your date. Just pray your date doesn’t take it too literally – you don’t want them to think that they are The One quite yet.
