The always interesting Amy Winehouse stepped out of her London pad to pay a visit her husband Blake in prison on Saturday (April 5).

Seemingly unfazed by her rejection, Amy jumped back into her ride and headed home, stopping at a local sandwich shop to grab some food along the way.

George Clooney Dumped His Girlfriend Over Engagement Rumors, But Took Her Back
Sun, 06 Apr 2008 18:23:12 | Rate news: +0
George Clooney is said to have dumped his girlfriend of a record-breaking ten months, Sarah Larson, after hearing rumors that they were engaged. Clooney, 46, suspected that Larson, 29, had a hand in the engagement gossip in order to pressure him into proposing. He promptly dumped her, but took her back a few days later.

Larson is supposedly jealous of Clooney's working relationship with Renee Zellweger, and Clooney thought that might have prompted her to start the rumor:

"He suspected Sarah leaked the rumor - hoping to push him into a proposal. So he dumped her..."

But the actor knew Sarah was jealous of former girlfriend Renee Zellweger, and he had been seeing a lot of Renee, working together on his new flick "Leatherheads."

"George figured Sarah hinted they were engaged to keep everyone away - especially Renee," said the insider.

"Sarah broke down in tears trying to convince George she didn't plant the rumor, but he didn't buy it."

The angry actor gave the beauty her walking papers, but within a few days, called...

"George ended up getting back together with her - on one condition. He made it clear - no wedding ever - and she said she understood."

Hollywood mourns one of its biggest stars on Saturday night - Oscar-winning actor Charlton Heston passed away at the age of 84. According to a spokesperson for the Heston family, the big-screen legend, perhaps most famous for his portrayal of Moses in The Ten Commandments, passed away in his Beverly Hills home with his wife Lydia by his side.

While no cause of death has been confirmed, Heston had been coping with Alzheimer's disease for the better part of a decade.

Heston's first big-screen starring role came in the 1950 film noir, Dark City, and his fame quickly grew with star turns in The Greatest Show on Earth - the Best Picture winner for 1952 - and The Ten Commandments, which would forever cement the young actor as the go-to star for historic figures, including El Cid, Marc Antony, King Henry VII, John the Baptist and several others.
