Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson become the latest breakup bombshell to hit Hollywood.

Finished, kaput, over and out! Breaking up is hard to do for most of us, but not for celebrities. They change partners about as often as they walk the red carpet.

The most recent split to rock Tinseltown involves Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. It occurred after photos surfaced showing Stewart in a torrid tryst with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders, who's married to British model Liberty Ross. 

Ross portrayed Stewart's mom in the film, but a tweet revealed that she doesn't plan to play the victim in this high-profile cheating scandal. "Bad things come apart, so that good things can come together," she told her followers. 

A clean break usually means a clean start. So we'd like to present the best face and body cleansers on the market. They may not help you forgive or forget, but they refresh, revitalize and, most of all, rebound your skin. Plus, check out the latest crop of celebs looking to make a clean start.

 After finalizing her divorce with Russell Brand earlier this year, Katy Perry has was spotted around town with John Mayer. However, recent reports say the pair are no longer an item.

Kim Kardashian may have filed for divorce after 72 days of marriage to Kris Humphries, but she quickly found comfort in the arms of Kanye West.

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore called it quits, but both have moved on--Moore with Aussie TV star Martin Henderson and Kutcher with Mila Kunis.

Following an alleged head-butting incident during a domestic dispute this month, Evelyn Lozada filed for divorce from Chad Johnson.

Sun Kissed or Sun Dissed?

Gold and silver trump bronze at the Olympics, but not in Hollywood when it comes to tanned bodies. Many celebrities use their sun-kissed skin as a status symbol.

However, as we learn more about the damaging effects of the sun, bronze bodies no longer represent health and wellness. Overexposure to ultraviolet rays often leads to premature aging and hyperpigmentation, or even worse--skin cancer. In fact, about 65 percent of melanoma cases can be attributed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

As we celebrate National Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month, check out the latest sun protection factor (SPF) products.
