Uma Thurman has broken off her engagement to Arki (Arpad) Busson. He is the father of Elle Macpherson’s children, is some rich money dude, and is often indistinguishable from Uma’s previous paramour Andre Balazs. Right? And they have the same initials. Cindy Adams was the first to break the story.

It’s been a rough year for both. Arki apparently lost a lot of money in the Madoff debacle and Uma lost two important friends: Natasha Richardson and David Carradine which, am told, prompted her to reassess everything. She and Arki enjoyed life to the extreme. Arki supposedly enjoyed it to the extreme when he was with Elle too. It almost overcome Elle and, well, you know the rest. Initially for Uma though, she enjoyed the highs. When they became intensified by trauma however word is she realised the need to pull back. So now it’s over.

Uma worked on Percy Jackson in Vancouver for a short spell earlier this year and will next head to Paris for a film called Bel Ami with Robert Pattinson who plays a young womanising journalist with Uma his much older wife. Here’s my train of thought:

Uma, Pattinson, Prime. Did you see Prime? Bryan Greenberg was SO hot in Prime. And he was 23 in Prime. And Pattinson is 23 now. And can you imagine the f-cking Twi-Hard meltdown if Uma, at almost 40, and ready for a little action, decides to Prime up her life? It’s a smutty wet dream. This is the sh-t that sustains gossip blogs.

Oh relax, lunatics.

He’s fine. He’s been with Kristen Stewart. They’re on love lockdown. They are happy. Nothing is wrong. No need to panic over the lack of photos. Everything is fine. But Uma is single.
