Danica Patrick’s divorce from Paul Hospenthal is now finalized, after the couple mutually agreed to dissolve the relationship late last year. The petition was filed in January.

Patrick announced the divorce last year on Facebook, writing, “I am sad to inform my fans that after 7 years, Paul and I have decided to amicably end our marriage. This isn’t easy for either of us, but mutually it has come to this. He has been an important person and friend in my life and that’s how we will remain moving forward.”

Patrick is now in a relationship with fellow NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and became the first woman to win the Sprint Cup Pole in February.

“I feel like I’ve just reached a point where I’ve stopped overthinking things and stopped trying to be scared of what might happen on the other side,” she said. “You’re just living your life, and that’s that.”

Porsha Stewart, one of the stars of “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta”, is headed for divorce despite her adamant protests during the show’s reunion that everything was fine with her marriage to Kordell Stewart. And though the break-up was surprising enough, fans were even more shocked to hear that the two of them are still living together and that she found out about the dissolution of her marriage on Twitter. She says her sister was the first to break the news.

“She said, ‘Have you heard?’ And I’m like, ‘Heard what?’ So I went to Twitter and the first thing I see is, ‘Kordell divorcing Porsha,’” she said. “And I’m like, ‘This is just a crazy joke…’ I found out from Twitter.”

Stewart says she feels betrayed by her husband and insists she did everything she could to keep their relationship together, including marriage counseling, but Kordell wasn’t into it.

“I was totally blindsided,” Stewart said. “But when I found out about the divorce, it was absolutely a surprise.”

As for living together during such a difficult time, Porsha says it’s not ideal but it’s what they have to do for the moment.

“It’s a difficult, difficult situation right now,” she said. “It’s something I did not want at all.”

Kardashian Divorce: Final Settlement (Finally) Approved; Humphries Gets Nothing

Sean Patterson — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:56:52 +0000

The divorce of reality TV actress and amateur porn star Kim Kardashian from her husband, Kris Humphries, had become a bit of a joke. Though their marriage lasted only 72 days, their contentious divorce proceedings have lasted over a year now. Just last week, Humphries’ no-show at a divorce settlement conference seemed to indicate the couple were no closer to reaching an agreement.

This week, however, TMZ is reporting that the couple is finally divorced. The publication has stated that Humphries will come away from the marriage without a piece of Kardashian’s fortune and that the NBA star did not recieve an annulment based on fraud as he had originally requested. One of the hold-ups on divorce proceedings is that Humphries reportedly believed the marriage to be a publicity stunt, and wanted to be compensated for it.

Now that Kardashian is officially divorced, rumors have begun circulating that she and her new man, R&B star Kanye West, could be looking to get hitched. Kardashian is currently pregnant with West’s child, and is expected to give birth in July.

Kris Humphries No-Show Leaves Kardashian Divorce Unresolved

It seems that Kris Humphries‘ legal troubles will soon grow beyond being sued by an L.A. suit shop. TMZ is reporting that the NBA star did not show up for a mandatory settlement conference for his contentious divorce.

Humphries, who plays for the Brooklyn Nets, and his estranged wife, reality TV actress and amateur porn star Kim Kardashian, have been separated for over one year now. Kardashian filed for divorce after only 72 days of marriage, leading many, including Humphries, to speculate that the entire marriage had been a Kardashian publicity stunt.

The divorce proceedings have dragged on, and this week the couple were scheduled for a mandatory settlement conference to resolve the divorce. The TMZ report states that the conference was scheduled to take place in Los Angeles at 8:30 am PT on Friday, but that Humphries was spotted in New York early Friday morning – with the earliest flight to the west coast arriving at 9:15 am PT.

The publication later confirmed that Humphries did not make it to the conference, though the paparazzi did catch Kardashian arriving on time:

Kordell Stewart Divorce Papers Filed in Atlanta

Sean Patterson — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:48:05 +0000

It seems that Kordell Stewart’s official retirement from the NFL hasn’t been a boon for his love life.

TMZ is reporting that Stewart filed for divorce from wife Porsha Stewart in Atlanta on March 22. Porsha is a cast member of the reality TV show The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The couple was married in May of 2011.

The divorce papers reportedly state that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” and that the couple is currently separated. Kordell is also claiming no need for spousal support and that there are no marital assets to be divided between them.

Neither Kordell or Porsha has acknowledged the divorce directly via their social media accounts, though Porsha did post this strange-in-hindsight Tweet back on March 24:

Kordell Stewart played quarterback for NFL teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears, and Baltimore Ravens during his decade-long career. During his 2001 season with the Steelers he led the team to the AFC Championship Game. He was named AFC Offensive Player of the Year and selected for the Pro Bowl for the accomplishment.

Pauley Perrette Ex-Husband Faces Jail Time For Restraining Order Violation

Sean Patterson — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:36:38 +0000

Network TV star Pauley Perrette was officially divorced from her first husband in 2006, but her marital troubles have only seemed to continue.

TMZ is reporting that Perrette’s ex-husband, Coyote Shivers, has violated his restraining order. The musician has been charged with violating a court order and violating his probation, which he was placed on for sending “harassing” emails to Perrette’s lawyer.

The violations stem from an altercation between Shivers and Perrette at a sushi restaurant in L.A. last month. The two argued, though Shivers has stated the run-in was an accident. Shivers could face up to 18 months in jail if convicted.

Perrette has landed roles in numerous TV shows and movies, such as The Ring and Almost Famous, throughout the 90s and 00s. She currently stars in the hit CBS Show NCIS, on which she plays Abby Sciuto, a forensic scientist.

Shivers is a musician who has played with bands such as Sharkskin and The Dave Rave Conspiracy. He is also an actor, and is best known for his roles in the movies Empire Records and Jonny Mnemonic.

Bill O’Reilly Divorce May Involve the Catholic Church

Sean Patterson — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 15:46:52 +0000

Bill O’Reilly is best known as Fox News’ headlining prime time pundit and isn’t a stranger to controversy (loofah, anyone?). Though individuals may disagree with his politics or views about the world, it’s clear that O’Reilly is a passionate man. Over the years he has demonstrated his passion about his politics, his religion, his ignorance of physics, and doing it live.

It serves to reason that O’Reilly is equally passionate about marriage, and, now, is very passionately involved in a post-divorce custody battle.

Gawker this week reported that O’Reilly and Maureen McPhilmy divorced in 2011, but that the pundit couldn’t let go. He allegedly tried to get the Nassau County Police Department to begin an internal affairs investigation into his ex-wife’s new boyfriend, who was a Nassau County detective. There are also allegations that O’Reilly hired the couple’s court-appointed “neutral therapist” to be nanny for the couple’s two children, who are part of a shared custody arrangement.

Beyond these alleged infractions, the report also states that the couple’s battle has been taken up by the Catholic Church. McPhilmy is reported to have received a formal reprimand from the church, stating her divorce and second marriage preclude her from receiving the sacrement of communion. O’Reilly is reported by Gawker to be seeking an annulment of the couple’s marriage, which would invalidate the marriage in the eyes of the Catholic Church.

Vanessa Marcil Divorce is Official

Sean Patterson — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:36:40 +0000

Soap opera and Beverly Hills 90210 actress Vanessa Marcil is now officially back on the market.

According to a TMZ report, the 44-year-old star has finalized her divorce from actor Carmine Giovinazzo after less than three years of marriage.

Giovinazzo is best known for his current role as Danny Messer in the network TV show CSI: NY. He is also notable for playing the first character to die in the first episode of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The divorce was filed for back in August 2012, and the documents revealed that the couple cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. The couple were wed in July 2010 in New York City. The couple have no children together. During their marriage, Marcil was reported to have had multiple miscarriages.

TMZ reports that Marcil will be keeping the couple’s house and her baby-clothes company, while Giovinazzo will come away from the marriage with several vehicles, including a 1969 Pontiac GTO.

Demi Divorce Papers Finally Filed

Sean Patterson — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:05:27 +0000

It’s been over one year since Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher officially ended their relationship, but the divorce process for the two celebrities hasn’t been going smoothly.

Today, the New York Post’s Page Six is reporting that Demi Moore will finally file divorce papers against Kutcher. Citing an unnamed “insider,” the Post goes on to say that Moore is “tired” of settlement talks between the couple, and could bring the divorce to court.

Kutcher has already filed divorce papers, and the Post’s source dropped the words “difficult” and “hostile” in relation to his attitude during settlement proceedings.

From the Post:

“Ashton made a lot of money after marrying Demi – a lot more than she made – but despite him becoming just as famous through her, he believes he doesn’t owe her that much,” the source said,” adding of Demi: “She has had enough.”

The paperwork could be filed as soon as today. If a settlement is not reached by this spring, the source states, it could end up going to trial.

Nicole Kidman Provided Much-Needed Moral Support for Katie Holmes

WebProNews Staff — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 18:41:20 +0000

Nicole Kidman knowns a thing or two about Tom Cruise. The couple met in 1989 on the set of director Tony Scott’s action/drama “Days of Thunder”, and were married about a year later. However, in February of 2001, a spokesperson for the couple announced their separation, a decision which was finalized in August of that year. Following the split, Kidman famously took to the Late Show with David Letterman, where she announced to everyone with a bendable ear that she could finally wear high heels again. Ouch. Wicked burn.

Kidman has plenty of experience with the ins and outs of being married to someone like Cruise, so it would only make sense that Katie Holmes would look to the actor’s ex-wife for a little moral support. According to celebrity gossip website Hollywood Life, Holmes often turned to Kidman for advice and support throughout their marriage. If anybody has insight into just how crazy and ridiculous Cruise can be, it’s certainly Kidman.

“They’ve spoken over the last few weeks. Nicole has been supportive, saying she’s been through it too and to hang in there,” an anonymous source explained to US Weekly. “They spoke when Nicole called the kids. She knows what it’s like in that freaky house.”

According to reports, the Church of Scientology repeatedly told Kidman’s children that she was a “sociopath”, a fate which Holmes felt would befall Suri. In order to prevent that from happening, she decided to make her escape. Who did she turn to for advice? Nicole Kidman.

“Nicole offered her support and help since she’s been there. She has been a private friend not many people know about. She told Katie her life is great and now she has no regrets,” the source said. Whether there’s any truth to this story remains to be seen.
