The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 48, and his partner of nearly 14 years, 38-year-old French model Vanessa Paradis, haven't appeared together on a red carpet in more than a year -- and now, multiple sources tell People that the couple's relationship is "all but officially finished."

Lana Del Rey Calls Performing On Television 'Weird'

'Sometimes it seems more important to me than other times,' Del Rey told MTV News before her 'Saturday Night Live' debut.

Lana Del Rey's "Saturday Night Live" performance was divisive, to say the very least, as she seemed to battle nerves (and some rather shaky vocal moments), circumstances that only gave more ammunition to her critics.

Of course, to be fair, given her rather meteoric rise to the mainstream, Del Rey hasn't exactly had a ton of time to develop her stage presence, though, as previous television appearances — like this "Later Live ... with Jools Holland" performance from October — prove, she's certainly capable of much more than she showcased on "SNL" (at least vocally).

Still, Del Rey will be the first to admit that she's yet to truly be at ease when it comes to performing on television. In fact, she finds the entire process to be, well, a little off-putting, as she told MTV News last week.

"I find it weird ... sometimes. [It] depends on the day," Del Rey said. "You know, like, [it] depends on what's going on with my family and everyone around me. If I have other things to think about, or I'm trying to get things done for somebody else, and I'm not in my own way, then ... I'm like, 'This doesn't really matter.' Sometimes it seems more important to me than other times, I don't know."

And though, at the time, she couldn't have predicted how her "SNL" performance would turn out — she said she wasn't even sure which songs she'd be singing — Del Rey said that, no matter what happened, and despite how weird she may find the entire TV experience, she's just trying to enjoy the ride.

"Things are cool. They always will be, whether the music goes good or not," she said. "Like, I consider being able to sing a luxury, it doesn't run my life, it's not my main focus. I love it, I feel grateful. I'm honored to be on 'SNL' I'm happy to be here, but if I didn't have it, I'd be happy too."

George Lucas Brought The 'Force' To 'Red Tails,' Says Terrence Howard

Director has wanted to bring story of Tuskegee Airmen to big screen for nearly 25 years.

George Lucas made a name for himself in the late '70s and '80s with "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones," but for nearly 25 years, the director tried to bring one story to the big screen, a movie he wasn't able to make until now.

After decades in development, "Red Tails," Lucas' tale of the Tuskegee Airmen, will finally hit theaters. The story of Lucas' battle to get "Red Tails" in front of the camera only added to the significance of the story for many of the cast and crew.

Terrence Howard plays Col. A.J. Bullard, one of the commanders of the Tuskegee Airmen, America's first African-American air regimen. The actor told MTV News that Lucas' passion set the tone for the entire project.

"Well, he has complete control of the Force. As far as I understand it, he invented the Force," Howard said. "It's quite a moving inertia associated with it. You believe in him, and when he says something, he follows it all the way through."

According to Howard, having such a strong backing force changed the way the actors approached the film and their roles. "It gives us a great deal of encouragement walking into the roles," he said. "We know that we're going to be 100 percent supported."

Like any Lucas project, "Red Tails" comes with the technical wizardry that made the man a legend. "When you look at the final project and you look at these fight scenarios, you can't believe that it's not real," Howard said. "It looks tangible, and it's wonderful to be able to say 'George Lucas manned this, created this vessel that Anthony Hemingway was able to direct.' We become moving parts of this incredible armada."

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Swears Off The Swear Words For His Son

No more potty mouth for Jeffrey Dean Morgan; at least not around his 22-month-old son, Gus. It seems that the little guy has started to expand his vocabulary, which isn't exactly a good thing.

"I took him to dinner the other night and he said, 'Bullsh-t!' I couldn't believe it, but at the same time, there might have been a high-five involved," Morgan, 45, tells Us Weekly at Friday's Winter TCA Press Tour in Pasadena, Calif.
