Gavin Rossdale's ex-boyfriend Marilyn: "He was the love of my life"

Gavin1013.jpg More than a year after British pop star Marilyn revealed his secret love affair with Gavin Rossdale to In Touch, Gwen Stefani’s husband is finally confessing to the same-sex romance he experienced as a teen. “I’ve never wanted to appear closed about it,” he tells Details in the magazine’s new issue, though he adamantly denied In Touch’s story about the relationship when it was published in April 2009. “I don’t think there’s anything strange about any form of… learning about life. It’s a part of growing up.”

The news about the Bush front man, who has two young sons with his world-famous wife Gwen, won’t shock In Touch readers. “Gavin and Gwen are perfect for each other, but he was the love of my life,” Marilyn told In Touch, adding that he dated Gavin for five years in the early ’80s. When Boy George first discussed the former couple’s romance in his 1995 memoir, Take It Like A Man, Marilyn kept quiet, even when Gavin denied their love. “He was just becoming successful in America,” Marilyn explained. “I agreed to lie against every grain of my being.” Now that Gavin has come clean about the relationship, Marilyn isn’t feeling totally vindicated. “I think it’s really hypocritical that Gavin can do an interview about me, yet me doing one about him is wrong!” he said today on his Facebook page.

Kim & Reggie’s Secret Plans To Elope
It was something no one could ever imagine Kim Kardashian doing in a million years: taking a trip to see a boyfriend without posing for a single photo op. But that’s exactly what Kim did in early February when she secretly flew to Miami to hook up with her on-again love, Reggie Bush. Holed up in a private residence for several days, the notorious fame-seeker intentionally avoided the paparazzi. “She didn’t go out once,” marvels an insider, “and they weren’t seen in public together, per his request.””

Demi’s Thriving In Rehab
Just a few weeks ago, Demi Moore was so distraught over her breakup with her cheating husband, Ashton Kutcher, that she was literally starving herself to death. Dangerously fragile — both emotionally and physically — Demi existed solely on lettuce, liquids and pills, and friends feared for her life. But fortunately, Demi checked into rehab before it was too late — and In Touch has learned that she’s been making a remarkable recovery.

Hunger Games’ Jennifer: So In Love
In The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence’s character, Katniss Everdeen, is torn between two boys — but off-screen the actress only has eyes for Nicholas Hoult! “Their chemistry is great!” an eyewitness tells In Touch of the couple, who strolled with their arms wrapped around each other in LA on February 15.

Katy’s On The Prowl
Katy Perry seems to have very strange — some would even say bad — taste in men. First there was oddball sex addict Russell Brand, and now comes word she has a big crush on a married man! Yes, Gwyneth Paltrow’s husband, Chris Martin, was the object of Katy’s lust at the MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute to Paul McCartney on February 10, where Katy performed. According to an insider, she never took her eyes off Chris while he performed with his band Coldplay.
