The magazine details how the relationship’s nearly year-long engagement was filled with constant drama. The 29-year-old Ghost Whisperer star “was so needy and immature,” former Ghost Whisperer costume supervisor Claudia Wick designer told Us.
“She would call McCall up and go, ‘Can you come and sit with me? I’m cold,’” she said. “She would drag him on the set and then pout and they’d fight. Mainly, it was her needing something from him: ‘Can you say you love me?’”

Angelina Jolie: New Movie Pushed Me to Get Pregnant
it weren’t for her new movie, Changeling, Angelina Jolie says she may not have had twins Knox and Viv.
She recently told The Los Angeles Times the film’s themes of motherhood pushed her get pregnant.
“I got pregnant right in the middle of it and I think partially because of it,” she said, smiling. “I was so emotional about children that I think something in me kicked into gear.”
In the Clint Eastwood drama, Jolie plays the mother of a kidnapped son — her latest mom-centric film.
“I don’t think it’s a choice of mine as much as it is something women deal with when we get older,” she said. “A woman in her 30s is more likely to have roles that in some way relate to family.”
Being the mother of six life can be challenging – even with the help of beau Brad Pitt.
“I woke up at 3 in the morning with four kids with jet lag and two babies,” the U.N. goodwill ambassador said as she reflected on one recent day. “I put myself together for a few hours and go out. And then I go home. This is my job.”
Still, she said she shows no signs of slowing down — or settling in Hollywood.
“I don’t dislike it here,” the Oscar-winner said. “I just really do love to travel. I love other cultures. And I love raising my kids in the world. I’m so fortunate that I get to do that.
Added the actress, “The center of my life is my kids.”
Taylor Swift: Joe Jonas Split “Has Been Tough”
How did Taylor Swift cope with her split from Joe Jonas? By writing about it.
On Ryan Secrest’s KIIS-FM radio show Wednesday, she revealed that she penned the tune “Always and Forever” about their October break-up.
“I’ve written about [the split], and I write about my life … that’s just how I deal with things,” she said. “It’s tough and it’s been tough.”
She also keeps a sense of humor to deal with pain.
In a new video on her MySpace page, she pokes fun at Joe, who dumped her over the phone, as Us Weekly exclusively reported.
Holding up a doll of Joe, she says, “See, this one even comes with a phone, so he can break up with other dolls!”
Asked what she is looking for in a boyfriend, Swift told Seacrest, “If someone doesn’t think my sense of humor is funny, that can be a wrong match.”
“If they’re not allowed to go in public with me [because their management feels they're too much of a sex symbol] … that’s an issue too,” she said, presumably referring to Joe.
Swift, who said she has only been hurt by love once, added that she isn’t ready to rush into another relationship.
“I’m trying to shake it off,” she told Seacrest. “I’m not ready to jump in to anything with anybody. It wouldn’t be fair to them. I’m not looking to find someone to fill a void.”
