Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake
After three years together Cameron, 36, and her toy boy Justin Timberlake, 26, announced their split in January. Both Cameron and Justin received libel payments from British tabloids alleging separate affairs before they broke up, but in their public statement they said that they had split ‘mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect'. Justin got together with Jessica Biel in May, but suffered embarrassment when it came out that he'd given her the same gift he'd once given Cameron - a surfboard and a year's worth of Sex Wax! --------------Kylie Minogue and Olivier Martinez
How sad were we when we found out these two had split back in February? Together for four years, smouldering hunk Olivier was Kylie's rock during her very public battle against breast cancer, and she described him as ‘the most honourable man I have ever met'. They seemed so perfect for each other... boo hoo! -------------Chantelle and Preston
Stop the press! What a shocker! Chantelle and Preston split! Who would have thought a relationship spawned from within the Big Brother house wouldn't last the distance? Or even last a year? And after Preston walked out of the Never Mind The Buzzcocks to defend Chantelle's honour. Some things in life just don't make any sense. -----------Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson
Funnyman Owen met then married Kate on the set of the so-so comedy You, Me and Dupree in 2005 and tongues were already wagging about the couple when Kate split with her rock star husband Chris Robinson in August 2006. The pair couldn't keep their relationship a secret for long, but by the beginning of June they had split. In August this year Owen was rushed to hospital after a suicide attempt amid rumours of a broken heart and drug abuse. ------------Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams
Another on set romance bloomed for young Canadian actors Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams who met on the set of their film The Notebook. They dated for two years before Gosling announced their split in an interview with GQ saying, "The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin' and called it a draw." Funny guy. -------------Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams
According to Jake Gyllenhaal Heath and Michelle got together in rehearsals for gay cowboy classic Brokeback Mountain, "the two of them had googly eyes with each other." The couple had a daughter Mathilda together in October 2005 but the googly eyes had disappeared by September when the couple split "quietly and amicably." --------------Drew Barrymoore and Fabrizio Moretti
ET star Drew and Strokes drummer Fabrizio called it quits after five years together back in Jan. A source close to the pair said the split was because Moretti "doesn't get her friends" and that he hated "the Hollywood stuff". Fair enough. Drew's now hooked up with Dodgeball star Justin Long. ------------------Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese
It hasn't taken long for Marilyn Mason to recover from his January break up from Dita Von Teese, he's now holed up with almost half his age Rachel Evan Wood. The burlesque beauty said she began their messy divorce because Manson had "too many demons" - he's Mariyln Manson, what did she expect?! ----------------Cerys Matthews and Marc Bannerman
Coming soon - Celebs haven't just been breaking up left, right and centre you know. Check back on handbag.com to see some of this year's big A list get togethers. --------------------Kate Moss and Pete Doherty
On off, off on - this pair has split more times than we've had hot dinners. After a weekend of shouting in July, 33-year-old Kate finally threw the 28-year-old out of her home after reports he was unfaithful. The pair didn't waste time alone: Kate hooked up with The Kills guitarist Jamie Ince at the end of September, days later Pete's then girlfriend Irina Lazareanu announced they were engaged. Which must have irked Kate: she hand-picked model Irina to appear in issue of Vogue Paris she guest edited. -----------
