Awww sad! Kate Winslet and her hubby since 2003, Sam Mendes, have decided to call it quits.

“Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year,” their lawyers say in a statement. “The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children.”

The couple have a 6-year-old son, Joe. Kate also has a daughter, Mia, 9, from her first marriage to Jim Threapleton.

I’m bummed out to hear this. I love Kate Winslet and I’m always cheering for her. It seemed like they had such a great marriage, and I was thinking it might last. I guess it’s the seven-year itch?

In related but far less upsetting news, Jennifer “No Love” Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy have also split up. It’s important that Jennifer Love Hewitt break up with her boyfriends on a semi-regular basis, because otherwise no one will write about her ever. Any guesses on who her next target will be? How do you get more absurd than Jamie Kennedy? DATE A JONAS BROTHER, Jennifer!!!

Hi, guys. Before I do anything, I just have to brag. Wanna know where I am right now? Poolside. I’m still in Arizona, hangin’ with my pops, and it was such a gorgeous day today that I felt physically nauseous about staying inside. So I took my laptop out to the community pool, and, thanks to the new wireless router I bought my dad, I get internet out here. So I am in a bikini getting a tan while I write this. Okay, I’m done bragging now. I’m just so proud of this brilliant blogging-by-the-pool idea I came up with. Why didn’t I think of this before? Oh, right, because I was in Seattle.

Anyway, Kate Winslet and her husband, Sam Mendes, had another brilliant idea: the two of them never fly on a plane together. They’re afraid that if something goes wrong, their children would be orphaned. Now, this is the kind of paranoia I can get behind. I am famously freaked out about flying. Sometimes I secretly want to put my dog on a different plane from me so that if anything happens to my flight my legacy will survive.

“Where possible, Kate and Sam do prefer to travel in separate planes,” said a spokesperson for the couple. “It is not always possible but, for obvious reasons regarding the children, they do travel separately when they can.”

In fairness, Sam was supposed to be on one of the 9/11 planes, and then later Kate was on a plane that received an Islamic terrorist threat mid-air — fortunately, no one was harmed. But I can totally understand why they’re nervous about this sort of thing.

“Sam would sort of yell from the other room, ‘No, Leo really grab her thigh! Really grab her thigh!’ I thought, ‘This is really strange, but I’m gonna go with it.’”
