When Alexander Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth split up last month, I think most of us believed the reports that Alex did the dumping, and that Bosworth was still trying to cling to him. Even before the split announcement, Alex was at Comic-Con, and he was reportedly enjoying the company of ladies (ladies who eat). Then, just days after the official split, Kate stepped out with a “mystery man” at the Marmont. It seemed like she just wanted to be photographed with a dude, just so she could look “over it” and possibly make Alex jealous, I guess. Then Kate went to a Coldplay concert with the same dude, now identified as director Michael Polish. All in all, Kate seems to want to look “over it” and like she’s “moved on”. I don’t know if I believe it, but I hope it’s true. What I don’t believe, however, is this story in the Enquirer. It sounds like it was written by… I don’t even know. Not Kate’s publicist? Like, Kate herself. This Kate’s “LOOK AT ME!” move I think – basically saying that she screwed around on Skarsgard and she did the dumping and she’s already so over it and Alex is the one who can’t let go.

Alexander Skarsgard is still feeling the bite over his failed two-year-relationship with Kate Bosworth. Alexander, who planned on proposing to Kate Bosworth and even took her to Sweden to meet his family, is taking the breakup especially hard since Kate’s already gone public with the man she dumped him for, say sources.

Alex was “blind-sided” over the Fourth of July weekend when Kate told him she wanted to “see other people,” said a source. “They had been living together and he really thought it was going to lead to marriage.”

But Alexander was dealt a double blow when he learned that Kate was already involved with Michael Polish, the director of her latest movie, Big Sur.

“She worked on ‘Big Sur’ during the spring, and Alexander reasoned that she was seeing Michael behind his back long before she called it quits on the relationship,” the source explained. “Alexander is one of the nicest guys around, and it’s been driving him crazy to see Kate already flaunting her relationship with Michael in public.”

Meanwhile, Skarsgard is staying with a friend in LA and trying to regroup.

“Alexander is considered on Hollywood’s handsomest and most eligible bachelors and could have any pick of any number of beauties… but right now he’s licking his wounds and keeping to himself.”

Does anyone else find the idea of Alex licking anything sexy? I want to watch him eat an ice cream cone.

Okay, so do I believe any of this? My opinion of Bosworth is so low, I could buy that screwed around on Alex. But the way Alex has acted after the breakup… it just seems like he’s the one who has moved on. He’s fine. He seems happier without the 80-pound albatross.

Oh, and it’s Alex’s birthday today! Happy b-day, you big hunk of Swedish meatball.
