Jones, Paulson Have 'Happiest Break Up'

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 9th 2009 09:19AM

One of Hollywood's most prominent same-sex relationships is over, as actresses Cherry Jones and Sarah Paulson have called it quits, but unlike many celebrity splits, this one's quite cordial. "We're not together anymore, but we're still dearest of friends," Jones told UsMagazine.com.

"It's the happiest break up that's ever been," Jones continued about the split. "We grew so much together and now we can send each other off with a kiss and great love."

The split was rumored for some time, as the 52-year-old Jones mysteriously left Paulson out of her Emmys acceptance speech this year. Jones, who played the President on '24,' took home award for outstanding dramatic supporting actress.

Jones discussed the Paulson omission with Us, telling them that "Sarah understood, and we talked about it. And I know enough to know that if I had said her name, the rest of the night that's all anybody from the press would have asked me about. I just wanted to keep it focused on my family. That's the back-story."

As for being officially single for the first time in 29 years, Jones says she's "happy as a bluebird," and that she "may never be in another relationship as long as I live."

"I love deepening my friendships, and I like being on my own," Jones says of her newfound status.

Because if not they'd be all over the cover of Star and those other gossip magazines. We all know they hate each other, but they'll play nice in public, lol

And who are these two nobodies again. Never heard of them and now I have to go throw up. Can we report on something more important like how to watch grass grow or how to remove the lint from my belly button.

By yomama

I just wanted to tell you that has to be the best comment I've read online today. Thanks for the chuckle!

If you haven't heard of Cherry Jones then it's your loss. She is one of the most talented actresses to grace a stage, tv, or movie. Go follow the Paris Hiltons of the world. Apparently glitz not talent is the make up of your world. I was priviledged to grow up watching Cherry as an extremely talented teen at the same high school. You have missed a great actress.

Pencils are always good, just stick it in there and give it a twist, for hard to reach belly button lint, try tweezers.

Stop watching Nascar and you'd know who they are. Duh.

Why don't these guys go to sites filled with hot women if they're not happy?

Such love, so much passion - Come on, give me a break!

Why punish Letterman? What law has he broken? (Forget the "vow" thing - that's NOT law!). Just have him quit with the endless jokes about everyone else's infidelities! In fact, make him apologize to Spitzer, Clinton, Gingrich and the rest for all his holier-than-thou comments about THEIR girlfriends!
