Although numerous renowned friendships appear enduring, the truth remains that even the strongest connections can deteriorate amidst the strains of fame, rivalry, or divergent personal paths. Below are 10 celebrity duos who were formerly inseparable but have since ceased communication.
Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton
Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton were once party pals, frequently spotted together at Hollywood hotspots. However, their friendship soured with rumors of betrayal and rivalry, with Lindsay reportedly dating Paris’s ex-boyfriend. Their feud escalated with public insults, leading to a complete breakdown of their relationship. Recently, Paris Hilton shared that she congratulated Lohan on her wedding, but their friendship might not ever be the same again.
Taylor Swift and Katy Perry
The well-known feud between Taylor and Katy has been widely publicized. Formerly on good terms, their relationship turned sour, with both airing grievances through hit songs. Katy allegedly poached Taylor’s backup dancers, leading to Taylor’s «Bad Blood» track. Katy addressed the conflict on The Late Show With James Corden, expressing her attempts to resolve it but receiving no response from Taylor. She emphasized the concept of karma and cause and effect in their feud.
Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato
Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato were once Disney darlings and best friends, supporting each other through thick and thin. However, their friendship ended due to personal problems, made worse by Demi’s struggles with mental health. Despite attempts at reconciliation, their relationship remains strained.
Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey were once friendly acquaintances in the music industry. However, their feud played out publicly, with both artists making subtle digs at each other in interviews and through their music. Despite occasional attempts to downplay their feud, their strained relationship remains apparent.
Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian
Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian’s relationship was initially friendly. However, their friendship reportedly cooled when Beyoncé and Jay-Z didn’t attend Kim and Kanye West’s wedding. Different lifestyles might be the reason why they fell out.
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie rose to fame together as the stars of The Simple Life. However, their friendship fizzled out between rumors of betrayal and personal differences. Their rift played out publicly, with both parties mocking each other in the media. Recently, Nicole stated that she still thinks Paris is her friend.
Drake Bell and Josh Peck
Nearly everyone who’s sported Mickey Mouse ears was devastated upon learning about the rift between Drake Bell and Josh Peck. While Peck exchanged vows with his fiancé, Bell found himself absent from the guest list, prompting him to take to Twitter to express his feelings about his perceived snub.
«When you’re not invited to the wedding, the message is clear,» Bell lamented in a series of now-deleted tweets. «True colors have come out today. Message is loud and clear. Ties are officially cut. I’ll miss you brotha,» he continued. «Loyalty is key.» «ALWAYS remember where you came from.» Later, Bell admitted to Entertainment Tonight that he regretted his Twitter outburst and acknowledged that he should have directly addressed the issue with Josh.
Within the realm of celebrities, friendships often prove as fragile as they are fleeting. Though these stars may have once reveled in laughter and shared good times, their bonds eventually faltered. Despite the public scrutiny surrounding their rifts, some cling to hope for reconciliation, while others have come to terms with the fact that their friendships belong solely to the annals of the past.
At 69, Kevin Costner gets re-do to “look younger” after shock divorce, claims insider
Following a divorce, it’s common for one or both parties to make changes. Perhaps some new clothes? A brand-new vehicle? Perhaps a new hairstyle, a new career, or a new social circle to go out and drink with?
My argument is that, after going through something as life-altering and, typically, traumatizing as a formal separation from someone you thought you would be in love with forever, it’s only normal to make changes to your daily life.
It appears that even celebrities can undergo post-divorce makeovers. As it happens, if Radar Online is to be believed, Kevin Costner is currently in the middle of one.
The short version of Costner’s love life and how it unfolded in 2023—which our coverage of it has been extensive—is that the Dances With Wolves star and Christine Baumgartner parted ways last year after 19 years of marriage.
According to all reports, Costner was taken aback by his ex-wife’s decision, while Christine was the one who started the divorce process. After an inevitable court struggle, Baumgartner received an order for Costner to pay $63,209 in child support each month.
Although it might seem like a lot, it is far less than the $161,592 that Christine was reportedly looking for.
A few months later, the 69-year-old Costner was the focus of several rumors that connected him to different women. I suppose this is to be anticipated, given the day his divorce was finalized, he became become one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors.
In recent months, there has been a lot of conjecture that he is now dating singer Jewel; the two are said to have taken a plane trip together for vacation. In an April interview, Jewel herself mentioned Kevin, slyly describing the actor as “a great person.”
Regarding the speculations that connected the two of them, she said in the same interview, “The public fascination is intense for sure.”

The world won’t likely find out if Costner has found new love until an official announcement is released, but Radar Online claims that the leading man in Yellowstone has changed since splitting from Christine.
“He fusses over his hair nonstop and is now getting weaves,” a source reportedly told news outlet The Globe. “He is dabbling in other beauty treatments like Botox and spray tans to look younger.”
“He used to be a wash-and-go guy, but now he spends hours getting ready and gets really obsessed with his hair,” the insider said. With the bleached fuzz on top of his head, his buddies make fun of him for appearing like a scarecrow, but he doesn’t mind because he thinks it looks wonderful.
Indeed, when Costner was photographed at the Cannes Film Festival this month to introduce the first movie in his new four-part Western serial Horizon: An American serial, he flashed bleached blond hair and a noticeably longer hairline.
How do you think Costner looks now? Please tell us in the comments section.
