She actually tried to pretend that this was a deep and spiritual way for her to let go of her Jesse James demons, but we all know she just wanted to tell the world he is a big fat cheat face. It also sounds like she is saying she got in to the relationship to change him…and it blew up in her face.

I think women will be better off as a whole when we all realize that our mothers were righT. YOU CAN’T CHANGE HIM

Today I encountered the 19th girl to add to the list of people Jesse cheated on me with during this last year.
I kept going back and forth in my mind as to what the best way would be for me to release and let go of any residual feelings remaining from that toxic relationship. All of this may sound petty or immature to some, but I assure you this is coming from a place of pure honesty and love.
There was a time when I was confident and excited at proving the world wrong, because I believed so deeply in people’s ability to change for the better. Although this was not a primary purpose in the relationship, I did feel like it would be a positive thing for those who judged Jesse solely based on what they read in tabloids, to see that change is always possible – even in the people who seem hopeless.
I still believe that, even if that change never occurs inside of him – because I see proof of change everyday – in others, and in myself. I’m far from perfect, but am willing to examine myself, and my patterns of dysfunction, and then put in the work to better myself. It’s a daily practice, but it’s working.

It appears Kat Von D is putting her breakup with Jesse James to some good use – she’s channeling her man angst into music. According to E! Online, the “LA Ink” star is in the midst of cutting her first album. “I’ve been passionate about music all my life,” Kat told E!. “I’ve been playing classical piano since I was six. So I understand the form, but it will be fun to be able to translate a message.” And what will Kat’s music sound like? The reality star, who names Depeche Mode and The Cure as some of her favorites, said her sound will have be “more on the dark, more tragically romantic” side.

I imagine a Mazzy Star like vibe, what do you think? It will be interesting to see if she, like many before her, can turn a reality career into something more.

Kat Von D gave Lady Gaga a tattoo just a few weeks before her first album dropped.

But RadarOnline report today that she is so stressed out that she is losing her hair.

Kat totally has bald spots and it’s from stress,” the source told RadarOnline.com. “It’s worse than anyone her age should have.

“The combination of all the treatments she does to her hair and stress have finally caught up with her. She’s started ordering wigs along with the hair pieces and extensions she already uses.

TLC said in a statement that the “current season of LA Ink will be its last. The network is proud of what the series has accomplished in its four seasons, following Kat Von D’s journey as an artist from Miami to Los Angeles”

Kat Von D said that the decision to end the show was her own. “I love how me deciding not to continue doing LA Ink turns into [the show] being ‘cancelled,’” she tweeted . “Thanks, TLC. Regardless of everything, I remain grateful.”

So now the whole engagement breaking and getting back together with Jesse James makes sense. She needed press to save her show.

For his part, Jesse says the break-up was his fault and he is going to get his sh*t together. “Sometimes you are only given one chance in life. It was up to me to open my eyes and see it. That girl is my chance. I will never stop fighting and striving to hold on to her. Showing her how special she is, and how much I love her.”

You can read the details of what happened on Good Day LA here, but basically she bailed when the show’s presenters mentioned her very recent break-up with Vanilla Gorilla and the fact that she recently had his face tattooed on her body.

Good Morning LA host Jeff spoke with MailOnline about the ‘unfortunate and slightly comical’ incident which he said ‘left us hanging in the studio.’

‘I was in the process of introducing her and we were airing the clip,’ he explained.’ She was standing in the wings waiting to come out but when she heard me mention the break-up she removed her microphone and just walked out.’

Despite reporting the news of her split with Jesse on Twitter earlier this week, Von D was not happy when Jeff highlighted that she had had the etching done just before the break-up.

Jeff said the entire production crew and the hosts of the show couldn’t understand why she bolted.

After she bailed, she posted this:

Kat Von D Walks Out on GDLA – OMG!: MyFoxLA.com

Last night Kat took to her Facebook page, and wrote a long statement, where she reflected on her dramatic day.

Under the title ‘What can I say? I suck,’ she conceded: ‘I’m usually strong enough to not let things get to me like this.

‘But today there seems to be no way of escaping my thoughts.’

She added: ‘I’m not going to flatter myself in thinking I’m interesting enough for the press not to pry into gossip-related questions so its [sic] unfair of me to expect them to respect that.

‘But even though it’s not in my nature to cancel on people, it IS in my nature to admit when I’m week.’

Despite her split from James, which Kat announced on Twitter earlier this week, she told TMZ she has no intention of getting her tattoo of him removed.

She said: ‘I love my tattoo… It’s more than just a portrait, it has a lot of meaning.’

“That is absolutely not true,” says James, 42, bristling at Internet reports that he’s split from the LA Ink star. “We’re still going strong. Things are completely good with us.”

Adds Von D: “That’s the furthest thing from the truth.”

In fact, the pair, who wereengaged in January, are planning a summer wedding on the one-year anniversary of when they started dating, James reveals.

“That day can’t come soon enough!” he says.

I used to be a big fan or hers, but now every time I see her with Vanilla Gorilla I just think…EEEWWWW.

And I wanna yell, ‘run Kat run!

And I love this set of pictures of her from a book signing in Berlin this week. She’s fun to look at from all angels. You never know where you might find a new bit of art.

Admit it. Even if you aren’t a tattoo girl you gotta love her independent spirit and the juxtaposition of over the top pin-up girliness next to the dirty street tats.

Not only did her very cool house burn down while she was away in Canada promoting her new book The Tattoo Chronicles…her pet cat was trapped in the house and died in the fire.
