It looks like Vanity Fair's strategy of denying stars the cover unless they dish lots of dirt has worked, because Hilary Swank blabs in an upcoming interview with the magazine that her ex, Chad Lowe, is an addict! She says he's been sober for three years, but that his battle with substance abuse caused a serious rift in the relationship that they couldn't repair.
"I knew something was happening but I didn't know what" Swank tells Vanity Fair in the August editions set to hit newsstands today.
"When I found out, it was such a shock because I never thought he'd keep something from me. And yet, on another level, it was a confirmation of something I was feeling that was keeping us from being completely solid.
"He's sober now. I don't want to make it seem like that's the sole reason; there were other factors. But that just kind of blew it open. It made me look at things a lot deeper. That's when you realize it's not going to work."
Lowe, 38, and his managers could not be immediately reached for comment yesterday.
Although Lowe's struggle touched off their marriage's downhill slide, Swank said she's proud of her soon-to-be ex's three years of sobriety.
Vanity Fair does not detail the actor's substance of choice.
"It's an enormous obstacle to overcome, and he's doing it. He's living a sober life," said Swank, who married Lowe in 1997. "I know how difficult it is, and I'm really proud of his sobriety."
The actress says she had to stay with Lowe when his substance abuse came to light.
"When I found out, I wanted to be there," she explains. "I knew it was the most important time of his life. That's when he needed me most."
It sounds like once Chad beat whatever drugs he was on things were never the same between them and it was impossible to overcome.
This happened to a friend of mine who was with her husband for over ten years. He got addicted to Oxycontin for back pain and completely changed. He became uncommunicative and withdrawn. They had a big blowout and ended up getting divorced. He has a new girlfriend and is still addicted to painkillers.
For an actress with two Oscars Hilary Swank doesn't get a lot of attention in the press. This revelation will make people interested in her for a week or two. She's sporty, down to earth, and normal and people don't think that's particularly exciting. She should follow this up by going shopping on Rodeo Drive and having dinner at The Ivy with a hot new guy.
In the upcoming interview, Hilary addresses the problems between her high=profile Hollywood career and her soon-to-be ex-husband's lack of prospects, saying, "I think that any frustration for him stemmed from the lack of opportunities in his own career."
Swank, 32, says she's wary of the dating scene, "I thought of it - of that whole world - I can't imagine it! I can't imagine going out right now and trying to find someone else to be with."
Relationship guru John Gray recommends that men and women do the opposite of their natural instincts when trying to recover from a breakup. Women should start dating right away while men should take time to nurse their wounds instead of jumping into another relationship. Maybe Hilary should take a page from Charlie Sheen and start looking online.
Here is Hilary in new ads from Clavin Klein and at a party for the perfume giant Guerlain, which she also represents, on 6/14. [via]
We weren't holding our breath, but we were kind of hoping Nick and Jessica would get back together. Jessica wore her wedding ring around her neck for a while, and Nick told Rolling Stone that he still loved his wife of two years, but ultimately Jessica's immaturity and Nick's wild oats won out and now the two are officially divorced. The divorce was made final on June 30. No word yet as to the settlement amount. Jessica's dad tried to low-ball Nick into accepting a $1.5 million settlement, while Nick is said to have asked for a more realistic $8 million that he lowered to $5 million.
Nick is dating MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo while Jessica may be with her co-star in the upcoming film "Employee of the Month," comedian Dane Cook. Cook was involved with someone else at the time of filming, but is now single and said to be getting cosy with Jessica.
This is sad news for Nick and Jessica fans, and should serve as a warning to all women who try to hold out before marriage and then get married young because they can't wait.
Here is Jessica in NY on 6/28. She's wearing the deadly long jeans/platform sandals combo that caused Britney's near baby-drop. Nick Lachey is shown performing a private concert for Q-100 listeners on 6/29.
Hillary Swank was spotted jogging with some guy. That may or may not mean that she's dating him.
Here's the recap on Hillary Swank and Chad Lowe:
So now Hillary is photographed running with some new guy. The guy has to take his shirt off because it's dirty or something, and they're smiling at each other but not looking too intimate. They stand kind of far apart when they're exchanging the towels, and they seem self conscious about it. He could be her trainer, but he doesn't seem buff enough for the role. He's probably just a friend.

Swank and Lowe were spotted massaging each other and geting all cosy on a flight recently, which means they're probably back together:
That's kind of sweet, and it may work out for them this time. Swank seemed committed to trying to make it work, and it must be hard to maintain a relationship in Hollywood.

A source tells Us Weekly that spending too much time apart was to blame for the eventual demise of the relationship, adding, "They are not getting back together. There seemed to be competition between them."
It can be hard to make a relationship work when a woman is much more successful and high-profile than her husband. If this is true, it's too bad that they couldn't work it out. It certainly seemed like Hilary wanted to try.

Their second wedding will be a formal affair and Hilary is already shopping for an elegant bridal gown.
“Getting separated was the best thing Hilary and Chad have ever done for their marriage,” their pal says. “It made them realize that they were meant to be together."
That is good news and we wish them all the best. Guess those pets were enough to cement their relationship after all. In related news, Mike Myers and his estranged wife also share custody of their dogs.

Hillary Swank has signed a three-year contract with fragrance house Guerlain, famous for the old-lady scent Shalimar. The company issued a standard statement praising the actress' potential to shill perfume:
“Her background of always opting for the more challenging and ‘risky’ roles coupled with her warm and genuine personality, a far cry from the usual Hollywood mold, were all factors that made her an obvious choice for Guerlain,” the luxury French fragrance and beauty company said in a statement...
A spokeswoman for the company declined to comment Monday on the terms of the deal or the details of the fragrance.
Things are looking up for Hillary now that she's back with Chad and has a new gig.
