Salma Hayek's engagement to fashion boss is off
Sad news reaches us today - one of our favorite fashion meets Hollywood couples have split.
Salma Hayek has called off her engagement to CEO of PPR François-Henri Pinault. He's the boss of labels such as Chloe, Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent, which are all owned by his family business PPR.
The two have a daughter together, Valentina Paloma Pinault who will be one in September, and were planning to marry this year after getting engaged in March 2007. A rep for Salma confirmed last night, 'We are sad to announce the engagement of Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault has been cancelled.'
The two had been commuting between Francois' Paris base and L.A - where Salma lives with their daughter. However, no reason has been given for the split yet. 'there will be no further comment' is all Salma's camp are saying right now.

Yes you read that correctly, designer Dame Vivienne Westwood is releasing an album next week.
She won't be singing though. The record, entitled 'Catwalk Breakdown' is a compilation of her favourite catwalk tracks over the years - and everything from The New York Dolls to Tchaikovsky will feature. “[They are ] pieces that I’ve relied on over all these years — my classics. They’ve never failed me.” She told WWD.
The album lands in Selfridges on September 15th - during London Fashion Week- and the Oxford Street store's Wonderroom will be dedicated to Westwood to mark the occassion.
