Katie Holmes: Marriage Was Over For Six Months
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Rumors,
The former Dawson's Creek actress filed for divorce from her husband of five years last week in New York and, according to official documents, she said their union had been over for some time. However, sources close to Tom says Katie's version of events are baffling, telling gossip website TMZ.com he had "no idea" she was going to legally end their marriage.
Katie - who wants sole custody of the couple's six-year-old daughter, Suri - also claimed both she and Tom have been residents of New York for "at least two years," even though their main family home is in Beverly Hills, California. The 33-year-old beauty must establish legal residency in New York in order for the court to have jurisdiction, which is something she wants because New York courts are more likely to grant her sole custody of Suri.

The Project Runway judge admitted that she is wary of another legal union - although she did love being married to musician Seal, whose separation (after seven years of marriage) was announced in January.
"I don't know if I'll get married again. Although I really enjoyed being married. I'm a dreamer. I loved our annual fairy tale weddings that were our big family parties. But sadly, it somehow didn't work out," she said.
The 39-year-old supermodel denied that she is dating Thomas Hayo, her Germany's Next Top Model colleague: "He is not, nor was he ever my boyfriend. I think he is a great guy, but not for me."
Heidi said that she is generally satisfied with her life now as a single woman. "I think everyone should work on their dreams. I try to. I look into the future, concentrate on my family and I have to say that I'm happy. There are worse things in life than a separation," she added.

R. Kelly Blames ‘The Notebook’ For His Divorce
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce,
The R&B singer says that he decided to divorce his former back up dancer wife after seeing The Notebook. Writing in his book Soulacoaster, he explained that his 12-year legal union could not compare to the love Ryan's character had with Rachel McAdams':
"As the film credits started to roll, I couldn't move. I burst into tears. People walking past me patted me on the back, trying to console me. The Notebook was beautiful, and I was crying because its hero and heroine had died together. But I was also crying because I remembered a Valentine's Day - when a helicopter dropped a rainfall of roses - that had come and gone ... My marriage had died. And there was nothing I could do to bring it back."
However R. Kelly's ex has stated that she doesn't believe the romantic motion picture truly caused their split. "[The movie] came out in 2004 and we saw it together. Our divorce wasn't finalized until 2009 so it's impossible that the movie could have been the reason for our relationship ending," she said. "We had been separated for 6 years at that point! The movie definitely did not end our relationship!"

The 49-year-old actor- has confirmed he is upset about the demise of his five year marriage but is focusing on his children Connor, 17 and Isabella, 19 from his relationship with Nicole Kidman and his six-year-old daughter Suri.
"Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. Please allow them their privacy," his representative said in a statement.
Meanwhile, insiders close to the situation claim former Dawson's Creek star Katie wanted to split from Tom - who has been married twice before - because she wants to "amp up her career."
"Katie just wants to live out of the spotlight of Tom. She wants to focus on her acting career, which has taken a backseat since her marriage. She is currently filming a movie and has another project lined up and she wants to amp up her career another notch, which she has struggled to do the past few years," a source said.

The "Teenage Dream" hitmaker - split from her Rock Of Ages star husband in December after just 14 months of marriage - and although Katy thought he was "the one," she admitted that work commitments got in the way.
"I thought to myself, 'When I find that person that's going to be my life partner, I won't ever have to choose [between the partner and my career]. They won't be threatened or have weird motives.' Then I started to realize, that's not true," she explained in her documentary, Katy Perry: Part of Me.
Katy has now moved on and is dating Florence + the Machine guitarist Rob Ackroyd but says she did everything in her power to save her marriage, before finally acknowledging it was over: "I have that same belief system with everything, from career to my life to my personal life, everything. And I will do everything it takes to not fail. And I did everything it took, but it still failed."

The 27-year-old singer reportedly wants to step back from her career and take time to properly recover from the breakdown of her marriage to Russell Brand last year. "I need to let my heart heal," she reportedly told the Daily Mirror.
Katy spent much of her 14-month marriage on her world tour and has hinted that her career was one of the causes for the split: "For a modern woman, it is important to be supported and that there is equality in every aspect."
Katy recently insisted she doesn't regret her failed relationship with Russell, 37. "Everybody asks me if I regret something, they ask me if it's going to be that one moment [her marriage]. Actually it's really a lesson learned and it's super valuable, I could not buy this lesson. And I apply it to my life, I learn and a lot of the time, I get really good material for my songs."

The move comes after Kim's legal team formally subpoenaed Kris' ex-girlfriend, Myla Sinanaj, to talk about her relationship with the NBA player.
"The gloves are clearly off now. Kris' lawyer, Lee Hutton, has no choice but to depose Kim's new boyfriend, Kanye West. Kim has publicly said that she and Kanye have been friends for years, and Kris' lawyers want to know if the two were ever intimate before they went public with their relationship a few months ago. Kris has no reason to believe that Kim was unfaithful to him during their very short marriage. Of particular interest to Team Humphries is Kanye's involvement in the Kardashian reality shows as he appeared on an episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York," a source said.

The "Teenage Dream" hitmaker split from spouse Russell Brand last December after just 14 months of marriage, and though their union didn't end well, she insists she has no regrets because she learned from the relationship.
"I still believe in love and marriage. I've just learned lessons along the way. I regret nothing," said Katy, who is now dating Florence + the Machine guitarist Rob Ackroyd.
Last January, the 27-year-old beauty embarked on a 124-date world tour which ran until January this year and the pop star admits she was occasionally overwhelmed by her personal problems but refused to let them affect her work: "What was going on in my personal life was so overwhelming that I had to bend over to let those tears fall straight out of my eye sockets and not my false lashes just as I'm about to go up on that ramp and sing 'Teenage Dream.' I had to smack myself across the face and say, 'These problems are my problems, they are not my audience's problems, learn to separate that.'"
Katy and Russell's divorce will be finalized next month.

The socialite's lawyers are keen to speak with Myla Sinanaj - who began dating the basketball player in January - to find out whether Kris said anything to her in relation to his claim that the 72-day marriage was fraud. Kim's lawyer is also said to want details of hundreds of text messages and emails between Myla and Kris.
According to gossip website TMZ, Kris initially hid the relationship because he was worried it would impact on the divorce case as he and his representatives felt him moving on just over two months after he and Kim split would make it appear he wasn't "devastated" by the reality TV star's decision to file for divorce despite his previous statements.
Myla's lawyer previously admitted his client would be prepared to help Kim in her divorce proceedings.
