Justin Long and Drew Barrymore have ended their romance, the actor's publicist said Tuesday.

"I just wanted to confirm that, yes, they did break up," Carrie Gordon told The Associated Press in a phone interview, adding that the couple remain friends. Gordon didn't give further details.

Barrymore, 33, and Long, 30, co-star in the movie adaptation of the self-help best-seller "He's Just Not That Into You," slated for release in February.

The split comes as a surprise, given their public displays of affection since they began dating last year.

Long's big-screen credits include "Accepted" and "Dodgeball," and he's also the "Mac guy" in Apple's TV commercials. Barrymore's screen credits include "Fever Pitch," "50 First Dates" and "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial."

Madonna, Britney In Sticky Situation

In what we can only believe is a way to distract the media away from Madonna and A-Rod rumors, it was announced Tuesday that the Material Girl has recruited Britney Spears for a virtual appearance on her upcoming tour.

Virtual performance, that's funny.

"There is footage being shot of Britney some time this week in conjunction with Madonna's upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour," Madonna's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, said in an e-mail Tuesday to The Associated Press. "That is all the information I have available. The rest is 'a secret.'"

Rosenberg denied reports that Spears, 26, is shooting a music video.

Madonna guest-starred in a music video for Spears' single "Me Against the Music" in 2003. The singers stirred up controversy that year with an open-mouth kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Madonna, 49, will kick off her tour Aug. 23 in Cardiff, Wales.

McConaughey Has New Bongo Partner

Hard to believe, but Matthew McConaughey's baby was born shirtless.

His longtime model girlfriend, Camila Alves, gave birth to the couple's first child, a 7-pound, 4-ounce boy, according to OK! magazine.

Alves, 24, gave birth Monday night in California, according to the report.

"Camila and I were side by side the entire time," McConaughey told the magazine.
