A couple in Cornwall are showcasing food left behind by stars. Why are some people drawn to such celebrity ephemera? It's one of the great cultural phenomena of the 21st Century - the appetite for learning about famous people's lives, no matter how banal the details. Gossip magazines and newspapers are stuffed with information about such minutiae. And for eight years, a seaside cafe in Cornwall has hosted an experiment exploring this obsession by displaying the food left behind by public figures. It may sound bizarre. But people can go to great lengths to get hold of something a celebrity has owned, or even just touched.

But since the "incident" Chris felt that he'd destroyed any and all chances of a relationship with his "soul mate." So he stayed away from her, by law, at her request. But now things have changed. Rihanna and Chris are speaking to each o

The rumors have been flying since Christmas that the celebrity couple have been fighting. Since they allegedly had a huge blow out over Christmas, both star celebs have been spotted without their wedding rings. A rumor mills report showed Katy Perry without her wedding ring first, but in all fairness she was swimming at the beach in Hawaii. But Russell Brand , not to be out done, was seen gallivanting around London without his wedding band (seeming like he was trying to flaunt it). Today, Hollywood Life shared the following celebrity couples update about the estranged lovebirds. They write, “Russell, 36, has filed for divorce after rumors of intense fighting with Katy, 27, TMZ reports. Russell says the split is due to “irreconcilable differences.”" But then they make the next level of a leap in investigation. While their initial report claimed HollywoodLife.com had reached out to their reps they had yet to hear back. But then they added the following update, saying, “ U
