Jesse James and Kat Von D are on the outs, yet again.
The couple, who called off their seven-month engagement in July, reconciled last month, telling people they were still on track to tie the knot.
However, it looks like that's not the case.
Von D took to Facebook Saturday to clear up some rumors that had been floating around, including rumors about her on-and-off relationship with James.
"I am not in a relationship," she wrote. "And I apologize for all the "back and forth" if it’s caused any confusion."
Von D also confirmed the news of the split to PEOPLE, telling them she and James were "on two different paths in life."
The tattoo artist and James, who is the ex-husband of Sandra Bullock and CEO of West Coast Choppers, first stepped out together last September and had originally been planning an August wedding.
Relationship trouble aside, things haven't exactly been stress-free for Von D lately. The tattoo artist, whose TLC show "LA Ink" was recently cancelled, also used Facebook to talk about what's next for her -- and it doesn't include moving to Texas or shutting down her shop, High Voltage Tattoo.
"As hard as it is to sometimes let go of the things you are so accustomed to doing, I am happy to have done 'LA Ink,' but am even more excited about new upcoming ventures -- and can't wait to eventually share more about this with you all," she wrote.
See some photos of other celebrity couples who've called it quits below!

Michele Bachmann Defends HPV Vaccine Comments, Gay Marriage Stance On 'Tonight Show' With Jay Leno
Michele Bachmann appeared as a guest on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno Friday, and the talk show host used the opportunity to press the Republican presidential candidate about her controversial remarks about the HPV vaccine and her views on homosexuality.
At the GOP debate last Monday, sponsored by CNN and the Tea Party Express, Bachmann criticized Texas Gov. Rick Perry for signing an executive order requiring middle-school girls in his state to get vaccinated against the human papillomavirus.
"Is that bad? It's a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer," Leno asked Bachmann Friday night.
"Well I think so," Bachmann replied. "The concern is that there are potentially side effects that can come with something like that. But it gives a false sense of assurance to a young woman when she has that, that if she's sexually active that she doesn't have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases."
"I'm not sure it's a sense of assurance. It can prevent cervical cancer, correct?" Leno interjected.
"It's something that could potentially have dangerous side effects," Bachmann repeated.
Leno also pressed Bachmann about the story she has told about meeting an unidentified woman following the debate who said her daughter suffered "mental retardation" as a result of the HPV vaccine.
"Do you regret not getting this woman's name and address?" Leno asked Bachmann.
"I don't know who this person was," Bachmann replied, refusing to budge from the talking points she has repeated this week. "I wasn't speaking as a doctor, I wasn't speaking as a scientist, I was just relating what this woman said."
Leno also pressed Bachmann about her views on homosexuality and gay marriage.
"That whole 'pray the gay away' thing, I don't get it," said Leno, referring to the Christian counseling clinic she owns with her husband.
Bachmann tried to deflect Leno's question with a joke, pointing to her hair and saying, “When I heard that I really thought it was like kind of a mid-life crisis line, like, 'Pray away the gray.'"
The joke fell flat.
"It sounds like, if two gay people want to get married, that's their business, that doesn't concern us,” Leno continued. "Why is that even an issue?"
"I know gay families that are married, they have children. And they're wonderful people. It doesn't seem like they shouldn't be allowed to be happy. But I'm not going to change your mind on that one.”
When Leno asked who Bachmann would like to have as her running mate, she tried to lighten the tone. “You’re taken. You don’t want a cut in pay,” she teased Leno.
“Well, we’d probably have an argument over the gay thing,” he replied.
Leno did get in one good one-liner, though, while discussing the Tea Party's uncompromising position on raising the nation's debt ceiling.
“If you become president -- and you seem pretty strident in your views," Leno said.
“Convicted. I’m convicted,” Bachmann interjected.
“Convicted?” Leno replied. “No, you don’t get convicted until after you’re in office. That’s later. You have to get elected first."

Fox Kills Alec Baldwin's Phone Hacking Emmy Joke; Baldwin Pulls Out Of Ceremony
Rupert Murdoch's Fox network cut a joke by Alec Baldwin about the company's phone hacking scandal out of a skit for Sunday's Emmy Awards, causing Baldwin to pull out of the ceremony.
Deadline was the first to report the news, and Baldwin confirmed it on Twitter.
"Fox did kill my NewsCorp hacking joke," Baldwin wrote. "Which sucks bc I think it would have made them look better. A little."
Baldwin had made a reference to the omission in an earlier tweet, writing, "I did a short Emmy pretape a few days ago. Now they tell me NewsCorp may cut the funniest line. #NewsCorphumorlessaswellascorrupt."
Deadline says that the joke came during the planned opening sketch for the Emmys, in which Baldwin was to play a fictional head of a television network. News Corp. told the site that it cut the joke because it didn't want to make light of the phone hacking scandal which has engulfed Murdoch's company.
It's not the first time that a Murdoch property has been accused of going soft on the scandal. The Wall Street Journal was heavily criticized for an editorial strongly defending News Corp.

'10 Years': Courteney Cox, David Arquette Developing Relationship Show For ABC
Well, the experts always do recommend that you write what you know.
Courteney Cox and David Arquette, who separated last October after 11 years of marriage, have remained more than amicable, spending time together, praising each other and raising their daughter, Coco. It also seems that the pair have been keeping up their business relationship, too. According to TV Line, the pair, through their Coquette Productions production company, is in development on a sitcom that would track the ups and downs of relationships over the course of a decade.
Cox would only work behind the scenes, though Arquette -- who is on this season of "Dancing With The Stars" -- could feature on screen in the show. They both appeared in this year's "Scream 4."
Since their split, and some difficult substance-based times for Arquette, the pair has been open about their admiration and affection for one another. Back in April, Cox told David Letterman that, "I don't know what's gonna happen, I really don't. We're getting along so well that I hate to, like, rock the boat." In March, as Arquette left rehab, she said to "Extra," "Oh my God, I'm so proud of him! Best he's ever looked! He's so cute that I'm like, dude, I don't understand. Really?! Why are you that cute right now?"

No politics today
It's nearly one in the morning. A moment ago the newsreader breathlessly reported that a police station was set on fire in Birmingham. In a minute or two, a new development will overtake that in another part of the country or another part of London. It is chaos, the most genuine chaos we've ever seen here.
A moment ago, returning home from a walk around my area to report on what had happened, the true human effect of it hit me. As I walked past another man, dressed in nothing more off-putting than jeans and a T-shirt, we both glanced up at each other, suspicious and defensive. That glance is what it's cost us so far. It's increased the space between us.
London can be a cold, difficult city, and its inhabitants, like the British in general, are not particularly vocal about their love for it. We do not treat London as the Americans, say, treat New York. But everyone I know is fiercely proud of this city. Everyone who is from London - and you're from London whenever you choose to be — intensely loves this place. We love our city because of its extraordinary vigour, because we need to be somewhere vital and alive.
We all must accept, however, that we could have seen this coming. Not just Londoners — Britain could have seen this coming. We know what it is to walk past a threatening group of young kids, their hoods up and caps on, their body language jagged and aggressive. The easygoing label we attached to them, 'hoodies', serves to make it something you expect, something to giggle at on panel shows.
Somewhere along the line Britain became afraid of its children and we just did what we always do: we made jokes about it. It doesn't feel so funny anymore. The signs were there. Asbos, CCTV, shopping centres using mosquito alarms to disperse groups of children. Just because it erupted and has startled us all, let's not pretend the signs weren't there.
The actions were near-simultaneous because the idea did not need to spread. It is not an idea at all. It is a shared community which can't even formulate the language to describe itself, which didn't even know it existed until a few days ago.
Now we're all going to have to talk about it. The major events which hit us now are treated as automatic verifications of each individual's personal politics. It happened most recently with the massacre in Norway. Just this evening mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone made points which amounted to party political posturing. Ukip leader Nigel Farage and the BNP blamed multiculturalism. More than one right-wing columnist blamed family breakdown. An army of left-wingers blamed deprivation. Many of them also joined the right in calling for the army to come out on the streets.
The first thing we have to do is separate the valid ideas from the invalid ones. Blaming this on multiculturalism, for instance, is laughable and demonstrably false, as any Turkish man defending his shop with a stick tonight can tell you.
Then we must separate the arguments which are essentially tactical from those which are about the fundamental problems in our country. Neither the water cannon nor the army are off the table and we should all accept that. But we're not there yet. The most obvious solution is to absolutely drown major urban areas in police on Tuesday night. Anyone who has followed my writing in any capacity whatsoever will know that that is not the sort of thing I would ever usually write.
The conservative voices are correct. We need to have the harshest possible penalty for those involved in this disorder. We can't talk about why this happened without talking about family breakdown, lack of respect for others and lack of responsibility.
But we will also define ourselves by how we respond to this. We already have the powers to deal with this sort of situation. There is no need for new laws or macho posturing. The left has many answers. No-one with a career behaves this way. No-one who is invested in society would act like this. Only people with nothing to lose would do this.
This has to be a moment of unity. It's too big, too important, for us all to fall into our familiar bear pit. Today, there can be no politics. Right now, this is about how to stop it. Later, it will be about why it happened. And when that happens, everything is on the table. It's the most boring, but also the most accurate, thing we can possibly say: there is no single right answer.

Wajah Baru Charlies Angel
Setelah meraih sukses box office di industri film, Charlie's Angels akan kembali ke habitatnya yang pertama. Kisah tiga cewek jagoan itu akan kembali diangkat ke layar kaca.
Adalah jaringan televisi ABC yang berencana menayangkan serial action itu di layar kaca. Proses shooting serial televisi tersebut kini tengah dalam penggarapan. Selasa (15/3/2011), para bintang baru telah mengawali pengambilan gambar di kawasan dermaga Miami (AS).
Yang menarik dari serial tersebut tentu saja kehadiran wajah-wajah baru para pemain utamanya.
Siapa sajakah mereka? Ini dia para bidadari jagoan Charlie: Minka Kelly, Annie Ilonzeh, dan Rachael Taylor.
Kelly, perempuan kelahiran Los Angeles, California, 24 Juni 1980, mulai dikenal setelah berperan sebagai Lyla Garrity dalam serial televisi Friday Night Lights (2006-2009).
Soal penampilan, perempuan yang satu ini cukuplah ayu. Tak heran, banyak pria yang mengincarnya jadi kekasih, tak terkecuali aktor Donald Faison, Chris Evans, musisi John Mayer, hingga pemain baseball Derek Jeter.
Dalam film yang skripnya ditulis Alfred Gough dan Miles Millar, Kelly akan berperan sebagai mantan Marinir AS yang tangguh.
Rachael Taylor juga tak kalah cantik. Sebelum akting, ia juga seorang model dengan rambut pirang. Perempuan yang dilahirkan di kawasan Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, 11 Juli 1984, ini makin dikenal setelah turut ambil bagian dalam film Transformers. Nah, yang tak kalah menarik adalah dengan kehadiran Annie Ilonzeh. Dalam film ini ia akan berperan sebagai Kate, salah satu anggota Charlie's Angels yang paling cerdas dan memiliki kemampuan beladiri yang mumpuni.
Bintang televisi kelahiran Grapevine, Texas, 23 Agustus 1983, itu dikenal sebagai Maya Ward di serial General Hospital, yang tayang sejak 2010 hingga sekarang. Charlie's Angels yang akan ditayang di ABC akan mengadopsi kisah dari novel 1976 yang ditulis Ivan Goff dan Ben Roberts. Gough dan Millar, penulis skrip untuk serial televisi, mengatakan, kisah dari serial televisi ini akan mengajak penonton bernostalgia bersama tiga perempuan jagoan yang menjalankan tugas sebagai pemberantas kejahatan di bawah arahan pria misterius bernama Charlie.
Selain akan dibintangi ketiga perempuan cantik itu, serial televisi ini juga akan diperkuat oleh Robert Wagner (pengisi suara Charlie) dan Ramon Rodriguez, yang dipercaya memerankan Bosley, rekan ketiga cewek jagoan Charlie.
Julie Estelle, Dari Adegan Ciuman Sampai Makan Pete
Julie Estelle siap membuat para penggemarnya kesal karena ia akan menunjukkan ciuman mesranya di pantai dengan seorang lelaki dengan latar belakang matahari terbenam. Tak tanggung-tanggung ia akan membeberkan ciumannya tersebut kepada khalayak umum.
Jangan kesal dulu, karena ciuman Julie tersebut adalah adegan yang harus ia mainkan dalam film terbarunya, COWOK BIKIN PUSING. Dalam film tersebut, Julie melakoni adegan ciuamn dengan Nino Fernandez. "Itu ciuman cuma sekali, kalau dilihat itu sunset, cuma 10 ambil scene itu. Karena memang butuh sunset, cukup singkat, profesional saat mengerjakannya," tegas Julie saat ditemui di screening film terbarunya itu di Planet Hollywood XXI, Jl Gatot Subroto, Jaksel, beberapa waktu lalu.
Dalam film terbarunya tersebut, Julie juga harus melakoni adegan memasak. Untuk adegan yang satu ini, Julie bisa melakukannya dengan mudah. "Pada dasarnya aku suka masak, jadi enggak ada kesulitan. Aku syuting di dapur bakery besar beneran di Bali, jadi aku diajarin bagaimana caranya bikin kue beneran, tapi sebenarnya aku memang suka bikin kue beneran kok," ungkapnya.
Soal akting, banyak orang yang tahu bahwa Julie memang mampu berakting bagus, termasuk adegan ciuman yang satu ini. Namun, tak banyak orang tahu bahwa kekasih Ello ini doyan makan pete juga lho.
"Aku memang suka makan pete. Kalau di filmnya emang dibuat sense komedi, dari perempuan cantik jadi suka makan pete, tapi aslinya aku memang suka makan pete, buat aku enggak ada masalahnya. Sejak aku pertama cobain aku suka makan pete," ungkapnya. Wah, untung saja Julie tak makan pete sebelum melakoni adegan ciuman. (kpl/uji/dka)
