ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Chad Lowe and Hilary Swank
Having apparently received their copy of
the memo, two-time Oscar winner
Hilary Swank and
Chad Lowe have officially separated after nearly eight and a half years of marriage (including a prolonged trial separation). No court papers have been filed. "Hilary and Chad are hopeful they'll be able to get through this tough time," Swank's manager tells
Extra in a segment slated to air Monday night.
