Nicole Scherzinger, who\'s the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls is one lucky lady to be dating the world\'s most famous Formula One driver, Lewis Hamilton, who is pegged to be worth more than David Beckham and is considered the Clark Kent of Formula One. This mighty successful couple began dating in February, but denied their relationship up until May. 

Kelly Brook, Billy Zane and Danny Cipriani

Kelly Brook,love life,celebrity,celebrity relationship,Danny Cipriani Kelly Brook and Danny Cipriani Although we\'d been watching 28-year-old model Kelly Brook and 40-year-old Titanic star Billy Zane\'s on-off relationship with a little bit of boredom towards its end, our ears perked up when we heard she\'d found a new beau less than a month after breaking it off with her fiancé. Enter 20-year-old Danny Cipriani, one scrum-y (sorry) England rugby player that we can only thank Kelly for bringing to our attention.

Fearne Cotton and Steve Jones

Fearne Cotton,steve jones,love life,celebrity,celebrity relationship Fearne Cotton and Steve Jones We feared that the relationship between well-known cheeky ladies man Steve Jones and funky Fearne Cotton wouldn\'t last too long, and the pair finally cottoned in November with the presenting pair going their separate ways. Apparently the womanizing Welshman (former conquests include Pamela Anderson, Halle Berry and Natalie Imbruglia) was unable to control his roving eye, and Fearne is apparently being comforted by her ex, Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins.

Peaches Geldof and Max Drummey

Peaches Geldof,love life,celebrity,celebrity relationship Peaches Geldof and Max Drummey This whirlwind marriage came out of nowhere, and 19-year-old party girl Peaches Geldof admitted that her marriage to drummer Max Drummey "probably won\'t last forever" just a month after they\'d exchanged their vows in Las Vegas in August.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden

Paris Hilton,love life,celebrity,celebrity relationship,benji madden Paris Hilton and Benji Madden In February 2008, and less than two weeks after breaking up with fiancée Sophie Monk, Benji Madden stepped out with hotel heiress Paris Hilton. The pair then split up in November 2008, with Paris stating that they were just on a break, although she had been heard just weeks before claiming she loves men with English accents. Men of Britain, you have been warned.

Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil

Amy Winehouse,love life,celebrity,celebrity relationship,Blake Fielder Civil Amy Winehouse and Black Fielder-Civil Rehab singer Amy Winehouse finally did the right thing at the end of November when she kicked husband Blake Fielder-Civil to the curb after he fell straight into the arms of blonde German model Sophie Schandorff after his release from prison. Schandorff had been seen mouthing "I love you", during Blake\'s court hearing earlier in the year. Amy has since taken to calling 16-year-old X Factor finalist Eoghan Quigg to invite him for a night out. While it would be nice for Amy to settle down with a nice young man, in this case we\'ll say no, no, no.

Kelly Osbourne and Luke Worrell

The pair have been glued at the hip since May this year.

Michelle Williams and Spike Jonze

Rumours started in June that director Spike Jonze (who once dated Drew Barrymore) and the Dawson\'s Creek actress Michelle were dating, and the couple have been spotted showing PDAs at regular intervals since.

George Clooney and Sarah Larson

George Clooney,love life,celebrity,celebrity relationship,sarah larsen George Clooney and Sarah Larson The world\'s most notorious bachelor George Clooney and formerly unknown model Sarah Larson began dating when they met at a Las Vegas party in 2007. Friends thought that Sarah might be the lady to tame the world\'s most-famous bachelor. Then in June 2008, the honeymoon was over for Sarah as swoony Clooney very abruptly dumped her, and she left Hollywood to head back to Vegas.

Agyness Deyn and Albert Hammond Jr

Rumours started flying in June this year that model-of-the-moment Agyness Deyn and Albert Hammond Jr of rock band The Strokes were dating, and have only been confirmed by the many loved-up pictures of the pair that have been circulating since. Cute!

David Duchovny and Tea Leoni

love life,celebrity,celebrity relationship,david duchovny David Duchovny and Tea Leoni When X-Files star David Duchovny left sex addiction rehab in October this year, his wife Tea Leoni admitted to the press that they had actually been separated for sometime. The actor and actress married in 1997 and had two children during their 10 years of marriage. Rumours were rife that the split had little to do with Duchovny\'s sex addiction, and more to do with Leoni\'s affair with Oscar-winning actor and Angelina Jolie\'s ex-husband, Billy Bob Thornton.

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer

Jennifer Aniston,love life,celebrity,celebrity relationship Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer Friends star and ex-Mrs Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and musician John Mayer are another couple known for their on-again-off-again antics. But the pair are definitely on again now, although Jen\'s said to have turned down Mayer\'s marriage proposal.

Sienna Miller and Rhys Ifans and Balthazar Getty

Then, in the summer of 2008, Miller faced media scrutiny when it was discovered she was dating married Brothers And Sisters actor Balthazar Getty. Since then Getty and Miller have split up, and The Edge Of Love star has been spotted having cozy dinners with Josh Hartnett. Having trouble keeping up? You\'re not the only one....

Madonna and Guy Ritchie

Madonna,love life,celebrity,celebrity relationship,guy ritchie Madonna and Guy Ritchie One of the biggest relationships to bite the dust this year was the marriage between Lock Stock And Two Smoking barrels director Guy Ritchie and Material Girl Madonna. The press had been speculating that the marriage was on the rocks for a good few months and the official divorce statement came in October 2008, with many whispers about Madonna\'s relationship with American baseball player Alex Rodriguez, and Madonna branding Guy "emotionally retarded."

Daisy Lowe and Mark Ronson

love life,celebrity,daisy lowe,celebrity relationship,mark ronson Daisy Lowe and Mark Ronson This pair spent the first part of the year being dubbed as England\'s "cutest couple", but in September they went their separate ways amid reports that model 19-year-old Daisy Lowe was enjoying her newly found party girl image while 33 year-old Mark Ronson wanted to settle down. Both seemed to have swiftly recovered, with Daisy back in the arms of ex-boyfriend Will Cameron of the band Blondelle and Mark getting cozy with indie band drummer and all-around fashionable lady, Tennessee Thomas.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson

Wicked whispers about the friends started circulating in May 2008, and the pair have done little to dispel them with Lindsay saying, "She\'s a wonderful person, and I love her very much."

Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour

Simon Cowell,love life,celebrity,celebrity relationship,terri seymour Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour One of the most recent celebrity couplings to go kaput is the relationship between music mogul Simon Cowell and his six-year, live-in girlfriend Terri Seymour. Terri was said to have phoned Simon in September to end it over the phone, reportedly amid cheating rumours and getting fed up of waiting for Simon to propose.
