Altho the coverstory article has yet to be posted online, the headline on the new issue reads, “The dress was bought, a date was set. How jealousy, fights and her insecurities exploded at the last minute”. HMM. The mag clearly seems to be pointing the finger of blame straight at J. Love. Something tells me that this article was not written with her consent. I, personally, have no information as to what caused the break-up between J. Love and Ross but I’d venture a guess that her on-going problems with her crazed stalker might’ve had something to do with what went down. In the end, we will never really know for sure what happened unless either of the involved parties go on the record to discuss the matter. I just hope that they are both doing well … J. Love is a sweetheart and I wish her only happiness. I know nothing about Ross but he always seemed like a great guy to me … here’s hoping that things work out for the best for the both of them.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and her fiancé Ross McCall have called it quits, PEOPLE has learned. “They broke up over the holidays and have ended their engagement,” says a source close to the couple. “They’re both really sad about this. Even their friends are surprised; they seemed really happy. Everyone just wants the best for both of them.” Reps for both Hewitt and McCall had no immediate comment. The Ghost Whisperer star, 29, got engaged to the Scottish actor, 32, in November 2007 after dating for two years.

Aww … this is really sad news — and totally out of nowhere. Not that I really thought about J. Love and Ross very much but I did love them as a couple. They seemed so well matched and made a cute pair, I thought for sure they’d be together forever. Tho, I suppose it is suspicious that the couple remained engaged for so long without ever setting a wedding date. The couple would pop up at various events together (I last saw them together in public at an LA Galaxy game over the summer) but I would most look forward to seeing them show up at the holiday volunteering efforts at the LA Mission around Thanksgiving and Xmas (which they would attend together annually … except for this past Xmas and I guess now we know why). They really were a great couple … I’m sad for them :(

Here are a few pics of some of the celebs who made their way out to the Crossroads of Hope Mission in Los Angeles, CA yesterday to generously donate of their time in order to help serve food to those in need. This annual event usually takes place outside but because of the massive rain that pummeled LA yesterday (in buckets, I saw it) the event had to be moved indoors:

Thousands of less-fortunate people had a happy Thanksgiving a day early as celebrities and elected officials made their annual trek to Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles to help distribute holiday meals. Acting legend Kirk Douglas and his wife, Anne, again hosted the annual holiday meal at the Los Angeles Mission. An estimated 2,500 to 3,000 people c2owded into the Mission, which was moved inside because of the rain. “We’re going to be tight,” said Al Rossi, one of the mission’s directors. As celebrities filed into the Mission’s dining room, dozens of photographers crowded around, lighting the room up with a strobe of camera flashes fit for a red carpet. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa spooned mixed vegetables onto plates while super model Cindy Crawford scooped mashed potatoes on his left and Kirk Douglas handled other traditional Thanksgiving fixings on his right. Several younger celebrities showed up, including “High School Musical” star Corbin Bleu, who has volunteered at the Mission before. “I’m a very blessed man, and at this time right now it’s just important to be able to give back what God has given to me,” Bleu said. Actors Wilmer Valderrama, Neal McDonough, Nora Zehetner, Joe Campana and model-turned-actress Natasha Alam carried plates out to the event’s attendees. “It’s taking actors back to their roots,” Campana said. “It takes you back to your waiter days.” In addition to the free meal, homeless attendees received free foot exams and health checks.

As always, I am so impressed that these celebs made the effort to give so selflessly of their time in order to help those who are less fortunate. Some of the celebs who came out this year came out last year and the year before that. It’s a very cool thing to see that some celebs are aware of how fortunate they are and they seem willing to give back year after year. These volunteers really show what the Thanksgiving spirit is all about. It’s a great sight to see!
