Usher Officially Files for Divorce
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Divorce,
I think it’s safe to say that 2009 has not been kind to Tameka Foster.
Back in February, Usher’s wife was hospitalized after a plastic surgery scare in Brazil. Now the mother is facing the end of her nearly two-year-old marriage.
Late this week, the R&B singer officially filed for divorce in Atlanta. This move comes after increased speculation about the state of their relationship. Although Foster, 38, was reportedly still referring to Usher as her husband, a source tells People that the two have been drifting apart for some time now.
Tameka and Usher, 30, have two sons together: Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, 6 months.

Sean and Robin Wright Penn Split Again
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce,
It may have only been two months since they appeared at the Academy Awards together, but the glow for Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn has already ended.
Late last week, the Milk star filed for legal separation from his wife of 13 years. The moves comes approximately 16 months after Robin filed for divorce. Although he briefly dated model Petra Nemcova in 2008, Sean and Robin reunited several months later.
Penn, who listed “irreconcilable differences” as the cause, is seeking joint custody of their two kids: 18-year-old daughter Dylan and 15-year-old son Hopper Jack.

Mel Gibson’s Wife Files for Divorce
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce,
Maybe Mel Gibson and Britney Spears will have now have something new to bond over.
After 28 years of marriage, the Mad Max star’s wife, Robyn Moore, has filed for divorce. The papers were signed on April 9, just before the Easter weekend. According to People sources, Mel was overheard yesterday announcing the news to several parishioners of the church he had built.
Although Robyn had been seen with Gibson recently (she reportedly joined him for Palm Sunday services last weekend), friends say the two have actually been separated for three years. The 53-year-old’s infamous DUI arrest also happened three years ago on July 28.
TMZ claims the two were married without a prenuptial agreement. If that is the case, Robyn, 53, could receive 1/2 of their community property under California state law. As of 2006, her husband was reportedly worth $900 million.
Moore - whose attorney, Laura Wasser, assisted Britney Spears with her divorce - is currently seeking joint physical and legal custody of their 9-year-old son, Thomas. (They also have six other children who are no longer minors.) She is also requesting spousal support and legal fees.

Britney Spears is finally getting good headlines and positive gossip. She’s got an album that’s sure to be hit, a tour that’s going to be a success and a documentary that’s going to be re-ran about seven hundred times. But she’s also got an ex-husband who’s got a voice of his own - one that’s sure to be heard.
Kevin Federline has recently opened up about Brit and the past in an interview with People magazine. The father of four (Shar Jackson is the mother of Kori, 6, and Kaleb, 4, Britney the mother of Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2) has been brought up in conversation by Spears several times recently. Now, he’s going to go on the record when it comes to her.

Quickie Divorce for Madonna and Guy Ritchie
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce,
What took 7 1/2 years to build ended in less than a minute.
Earlier today in a London court, a judge granted Madonna and Guy Ritchie a preliminary divorce decree. Assuming no issues come up, their marriage will officially be over in six weeks and a day.
This morning’s proceeding - which was not attended by either by either party or their lawyers - lasted approximately 54 seconds. Their case was sixth on a list that included 16 other couples.
According to the petition filed by Madonna, “unreasonable behavior” was cited as the reason for divorce. According to the Daily Telegraph, that is an option often used for “quickie” resolutions. The alternatives for divorce are “adultery, a five-year separation or for one partner to have deserted the other for at least two years.”
Although Guy could have walked away with a substantial portion of his ex’s fortune, the director has reportedly decided to settle for their estate in Wiltshire and a pub they own in the Mayfair area.

Phil Collins’ Expensive Divorce Settlement
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Divorce,
Earlier this year, singer Paul McCartney forked over approximately $45.37 million to get rid of his annoying ex-wife once and for all. While this seemed like a hefty sum (despite his large fortune), it turns out the Beatle walked away with a pretty good deal.
According to the Daily Mirror, Phil Collins has now reached the top of the divorce settlement leaderboard. The Genesis singer/drummer’s recent $46.68 million payout is the priciest check written by a British celeb ever. And, sadly, this isn’t the first time the musician has had to dig deep into his pockets.

Alex Rodriguez and Wife Reportedly Split
Well, you know what they way—misery does love company.
Today, media attention has slightly shifted away from the Madonna/Guy Ritchie saga and moved on to another troubled couple: Alex and Cynthia Rodriguez. A-Rod recently became the focus of unflattering spotlight when tabloids suggested he was having an affair with the singer.
Although Madonna’s rep denies there is anything more than a friendship between the two, it seems the gossip was more than the baseball player’s wife could handle. According to the New York Daily News, it appears Rodriguez’s five-year marriage may now be over.
In Madonna‘s defense, this is not the first time the Yankee has embarrassed his wife in public. Last year, Alex was photographed going into a strip club with a dancer. And while Cynthia apparently chose to forgive her husband (she did temporarily move out of their home), things have supposedly been rocky between the two for several months now. Sadly, the couple just welcomed their second daughter, Ella, back in April.

Madonna Denies Divorce Plans
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce, Rumors,
Despite talk of missing bands and affairs with baseball players, Madonna’s publicist insists the singer’s marriage is not in trouble.
In an exclusive statement to People, Liz Rosenberg said, “Madonna’s husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving). There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce.”
This denial comes after a few days worth of heated gossip. Just this past weekend, Madonna and Guy Ritchie were seen attending separate kabbalah centers in different countries. Then there were the shots of the ringless fingers. (Older pictures have since proven that the two are known to not wear them.) Now Us Magazine is reporting that the singer has been spending a lot of time with Alex Rodriguez.
