The rumor is co-stars Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter split because Michael was seeing new cast member Julia Stiles on the side. It wasn’t even that secret because producers were said to have capitalized on their chemistry by putting them in sex scenes.

Well, Julia wants to clear things up. She’s not a home-wrecker. Stiles released a statement on Thursday denying all claims that Michael was seduced by her Maru charm.

“I have absolutely nothing to do with the split between Michael and Jennifer,” Stiles says in a statement released by her rep. “We are good friends and enjoyed working together. This is a personal matter between them, and we should respect their privacy. Although I too prefer to keep my private life, private—I felt compelled to dispel the rumors I was somehow the cause for this matter.”

By “enjoyed working together”, does she mean “loved banging in his trailer while Carpenter was doing her takes?,” and by, “we are good friends,” does she mean, “loved banging in his trailer while Carpenter was doing her takes?” Because, if so, that’s a little redundant, don’t you think?

Lainey Gossip posted a blind item which wasn’t really a blind item because it was glaringly obvious who it was referring to. Michael C. Hall for those of you who didn’t read the title. The woman in question is Julia Stiles or, as I’d like to call her, Maru (it’s the face).

I mentioned yesterday that there are a few more details about one of the recent splits announced in Hollywood this week. Turns out there was someone else: his love interest this season on his tv show. Their chemistry was so crazy and so evident to everyone that writer and producers, seeing it play out on set, actually cranked up their sex scenes to capture it for show. Her career has seen a resurgence since.

Eventually the two fell in love. They were together, very close, at a Halloween party in New York this fall hosted by a famously controversial writer (this isn’t a super important detail) and those who observed them that night are not surprised now that he’s ended it with his wife.

Forget what I said before. Those sex scenes with Julia Stiles must have been extremely awkward if Jennifer Carpenter had to see Michael fake nailing his mistress. Almost as awkward as the time your mom caught you jerking off to your G.I. Joes. That never happened? Yea… uh… not to me either.

Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter play brother and sister on the awesome Dexter. They’ve also been married for two years. But now the honeymoon is over so they’re getting divorced.

“Having been separated for some time, Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall have filed for divorce.” Both reps add that the split was amicable.

Good thing they waited a few months after Michael finished treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma to announce the split or else Jennifer would have looked like a real bitch and this story would have been twice as interesting.

Marley & Me over Bride Wars: I guess people like dogs.

Patrick Swayze is in the hospital: Not only does Swayze have pancreatic cancer, he now has pneumonia, possibly due to a change in his chemotherapy regime. He’ll be in the hospital the next few days for observation. Swayze recently commented that he may not even have five years left. Meanwhile, Paris Hilton is walking around as the picture of health. Life is fair.

Dexter married his sister: Michael C. Hall eloped on NYE with his Dexter co-star, Jennifer Carpenter, who plays his sister on the show. What are the chances viewers are going to pick up on the sexual chemistry between these two. This is gonna be awkward.

Nicole Kidman thinks her movie sucks too: Speaking to the Sydney Herald, Nicole Kidman admits she’s not very proud of her performance in her latest epic, Australia. Specifically, Nicole says, “I can’t look at this movie and be proud of what I’ve done. I sat there, and I looked at Keith and went, ‘Am I any good in this movie?’ ” The person who interviewed Nicole said it was the strangest thing ever. Even though she sounded depressed, she had a permanent smile on her face.
