Music was Hilary Duff’s therapy after announcing her separation from estranged husband Mike Comrie. The 26-year-old talked about writing songs about the former NHL player and their son Luca during a Billboard.com Pop Shop podcast on Thursday, July 31, according to UsMagazine.com, “I’m separated from my husband right now, which has been a very difficult thing to go through, but we have a lot of love for each other and we have this beautiful baby,” the actress-singer said. “There’s a song about Luca and a song about my separation and my love for this person, that maybe we’re not meant to be together, or maybe we are,” she added. “It’s very, very personal.” The couple announced their split back in January. Despite the separation, the two have remained amicable, with Comrie, 33, even stopping by with their 2-year-old son at her “Chasing the Sun” music video in July. Duff told listeners that her album was “a lot heavier and darker” after the split. “I think I just needed to get that out,” she said. “And once I did get that out a lot of fun came.” After nearly a five-year hiatus, Duff seems to be ready to take on her professional life once again. While away, she focused on two home renovations, learning to cook, getting to know her husband, and welcoming their baby boy. “The thing for me was that I really toured for five years straight…and I don’t think anyone gave me the credit as an artist,” she said. “I was having the best time,” she concluded, “but after about five years, I was like, I have no life, I have, like, two friends, I’m never home, I’m never with my family,” she explained of why she decided to take a break. “I kind of needed to shut it all down—it was time for me to be a person and learn who I wanted to be.”

Leaving the past in the past. That is exactly what Rob Pattinson tends to do. According to UsMagazine.com, the Twilight alum spoke out about the public affair that ultimately ended his relationship with ex-girlfriend Kristen Stewart. From the looks of it, the actor has moved on and even joked about the cheating scandal in the September issue of Esquire UK. “S— happens, you know?” said the 28-year-old actor. “It’s just young people… it’s normal! And honestly, who gives a s—?” News broke back in July of 2012 when photos were released of Stewart cheating with married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. “The hardest part was talking about it afterwards,” Pattinson went on to say about the fling. “Because when you talk about other people, it affects them in ways you can’t predict.” After the affair went public, Stewart released an apology to Pattinson, stating: “This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.” The former couple attempted to repair the relationship, but ended up going their separate ways. “It’s like that scene in Doubt [2008, in which Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a priest suspected of inappropriate behavior], where he’s talking about how to take back gossip?” Pattinson teased the allegations resulting from his relationship. “They throw all those feathers from a pillow into the sky and you’ve got to go and collect all the feathers.”

Lauren and I have always been just friends,” the Bromance stud went on to say. “We worked together on a show called The Hills where we had to pretend like we were dating, but we never dated.” After clearing up the L.C. rumors, the 30-year-old was also asked about his other “relationship” with cast mate Kristin Cavallari and if that too was staged. “I dated Kristin when we were very young … when she was on Laguna Beach and I was on a show called Princes of Malibu with Spencer Pratt … we met at a party in Hollywood … but during [The Hills] when we filmed, Kristin and I did not date, we were not hooking up.”
