Jason Statham Avoids Ex at GQ Awards
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Thrillers, Awards, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors
For someone who stars in action-packed films like Transporter and Death Race, it’s rather laughable that Jason Statham avoided ex-girlfriend Kelly Brook at an awards ceremony.
Statham, who presented the accolade for International Man to Mickey Rourke at the GQ Men of the Year Awards, reportedly wouldn’t take his place at his dinner table because Kelly was sitting five tables away.
The Hollywood action star only joined his fellow diners at London’s Royal Opera House after Kelly—who he split from in 2004—had presented a prize to British comic Michael McIntyre.
A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror, “Kelly was a huge part of Jason’s life, and clearly he still has feelings for her. Also she looked stunning and Jason was there with his girlfriend—he didn’t want the pair meeting. Rather than risk an awkward encounter, he didn’t sit down for dinner straight away. Instead a member of GQ’s staff took his place.”
At the after-party for the awards ceremony, Jason continued to keep his distance from Kelly, who is now dating rugby star Danny Cipriani. The source added, “It was a pretty awkward situation. Kelly’s name is a no-go with Jason’s friends—no reference was made to her being there all night. Fortunately, Kelly was oblivious to it all and was just having a laugh.”

George Clooney Pays For Plane Jump
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip
George Clooney has pledged $17,000 to watch his ex-girlfriend jump out of a plane. Sounds like charity sadism to me.
The Ocean’s 13 star has donated the money to Lisa Snowdon’s double charity parachute jump attempt, pushing her way past her original target of raising $7,000 for two children’s charities.
A source revealed, “George was so impressed with Lisa’s guts and determination that he wanted to help. Lisa had no idea how generous he would be until she logged onto her website and saw how much he put down.”
Model-and-TV host Lisa had an on/off relationship with George between 2004 and 2006, but they have remained friends ever since.
Lisa admits she is nervous about doing the two separate jumps for Shooting Star Children’s Hospice and Help a London Child, on her fund-raising page: “I’m a little bit nervous, especially about doing this twice (I don’t even know if I’ll enjoy the first one!) but knowing how much this will benefit both of these charities will really help me.”
Although the pair are on friendly terms, it seems unlikely George, 48, and Lisa, 38, will rekindle their romance. He is currently dating Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis.
