Yet another couple falls prey to the dreaded problems of work. It seems that Frankie Sandford from The Saturdays and Dougie Poynter from McFly have decided to end their one year-old relationship due to professional issues. This is what a source said about the break-up: “Frankie is so upset. She had moved in with Dougie and thought their romance was for keeps. She is heartbroken after their split because of work commitments. They are both still friends.” Oh yes, the still friends bit… that surely leaves the door open for other, future disappointments. Still, all of this does make Dougie Poynter look like the bad guy here… after all, Frankie Standford is the one that left hearth and home to move in with the man. So who’s work issues are to blame there, eh?

Doug Fieger of The Knack recently passed away after battling lung and brain cancer for several years. The band was best known for their 1979 number 1 hit ‘My Sharona’, which was about one of the singer’s real-life girlfriends. In one of Doug’s last interviews with The Detroit News, the rock star said “Everybody knows they’re going sooner or later. I don’t know any better than anyone else when I’m going. I’ve had 10 great lives. And I expect to have some more. I don’t feel cheated in any way, shape or form.” Doug was just 57 years old. My condolences go out to the family and friends that he left behind. RIP.

Former member of pop group Wilson Phillips, Chynna Phillips, recently checked herself into rehab for anxiety. Her manager Lizzie Grubman said “After much thoughtful deliberation Chynna Phillips has checked herself into an undisclosed treatment facility for anxiety. With the full support of her family and friends, she is looking forward to her recovery. We ask that people respect her and her family’s privacy at this time.” Chynna is the half sister to Mackenzie Phillips, who claimed she had a sexual affair with her father. Chynna is also married to Billy Baldwin and has 3 kids. There’s good reason for her to be anxiety ridden alright.
