The-Dream and Christina Milian have decided to separate, according to reports.

The couple initially married in September 2009 at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas before renewing their vows in a second ceremony last December in Rome.

A rep for The-Dream confirmed the pair's decision to split to US Weekly on Monday.

"Terius 'The-Dream' Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful," he said.

"The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward."

The separation comes just after provocative photos of Nash on holiday in the Bahamas with his assistant Melissa Santiago surfaced online.

Milian gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Violet, in February. Nash is also father to three children from his previous marriage to singer Nivea.

As one of Hollywood's most notoriously private couples, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem managed to pull off a top secret wedding, marrying earlier this month in the Bahamas.

Cruz's rep has confirmed to People that the 36-year-old Oscar winning actress married her 41-year-old beau in an intimate wedding, where the bride wore a gown designed by friend John Galliano.

The couple have been quietly dating since 2007, refusing to comment on their relationship, or even confirm it, to the press.

They first met when co-starring in Spanish film Jamon Jamon back in 1992, and have since starred side by side in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona, for which Cruz won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2008. The year before Bardem picked up the Best Actor statue for his role in No Country for Old Men.

Bread actress Gill Coman has passed away, aged 50.

Coman, who played Aveline in the Liverpool-based sitcom for five series, died from a suspected heart attack.

The episode involving Coman's character's wedding to vicar Oswald attracted 21 million viewers in 1988. She gave up the role of Aveline for the final two series and was replaced by Melanie Hill.

Her other TV credits included Brookside, Coronation Street, Emmerdale Farm and Boys From The Blackstuff.

Lifelong friend Jane Joseph, who is now director of St Helens Theatre Royal, told the Liverpool Echo: "She was a fantastic actress, the original Aveline. Gilly told me when she went to her first audition she dressed the part and that is how she got it, everyone fell about the place.

"As far as I am concerned, she was a person to look up to. She made her own way in the acting community and really carved her career out. Everybody used to say she created the role of Aveline, and the other actress was really just stepping into her shoes."

Bread writer Carla Lane said: "Gill was a nice girl, a good actress and she never questioned the lines I gave her. She knew how to walk to make people laugh and she knew the character better than I did."


RIP Gill

Wesley Snipes is facing three years in prison after losing an appeal against his conviction for tax offences.

Lawyers for the actor, whose films include the Blade trilogy, had argued the sentence was "unreasonable".

But the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta found that a three-year term in federal prison was appropriate.

In February 2008, Snipes was found guilty of deliberately failing to file tax returns for 1999, 2000 and 2001.

He earned more than $37m (£24m) in gross income between 1999 and 2004 but did not file individual federal income tax returns for any of those years, according to official court papers.

The actor, 47, was cleared of more serious fraud and conspiracy charges.

Snipes, 47, was sentenced in April 2008 and launched an appeal the following month.

He has been on bail ever since.

Snipes' lawyers had also argued that their client should have been granted a hearing to decide whether his trial should have been held in New York instead of Florida, but this was also dismissed.

In 2007, his lawyers had challenged the venue, alleging that the government had chosen Ocala County, Florida, for trial for racially discriminatory reasons.

The star's lawyer was not immediately available for comment following Friday's ruling. It is not yet known when his sentence will begin.

Snipes' other films include White Men Can't Jump, Passenger 57, Demolition Man and One Night Stand.
