Amy Winehouse

was too high on drugs to record a proposed James Bond theme song.

The “Rehab” singer - who teamed up with producer Mark Ronson for the title track in 2008 - allegedly ruined the collaboration by partying too hard at the recording studio. Amy’s estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “It just turned into an excuse for a wild drink and drugs party. She wasn’t concentrating on work.”

Debbie RoweIt isn’t often that the New York Post makes a mistake, but when they do, they do it pretty big. The front-page banner ad printed by the paper today, claiming that will accept $4 million in exchange for dropping her custody claim, is inaccurate.

Not only inaccurate, it’s created a resulting media fire storm of lawyers, angry letters and additional headlines. If I didn’t know better, I’d say the false story was planted on purpose for just this reason…

Description

TLC has been offering tantalizing teasers, but unfortunately the cable network’s biggest reality secret has already been scooped…by everybody. Kate Gosselin reportedly filed for divorce from her co-star and ten-year husband, Jon, in Bucks County, PA on Monday.

Meanwhile, a “major announcement” will be revealed on the show this evening - if it hasn’t already been found out by the press, and current public opinion believes this is the case. Jon and Kate’s rocky relationship has made a multitude of headlines over the past few weeks, fueled by rumors of infidelity on both sides. The couple spoke openly about their marital troubles at the beginning of the season.

Which, it is believed, will be the show’s last. TLC can hardly keep showing us when Jon and Kate are no more.

Bradley Whitford and Jane KaczmarekEvery once in a while there’s a divorce announcement that feels random and shocking at the same time. This is one of those for me.

After nearly 17 years of marriage, actors and Jane Kaczmarek are going their separate ways. The news was confirmed on Friday, the same day the papers were filed.

Jane and Bradley were frequently seen on the red carpet together during their years on two different shows. Whitford had been nominated three times for his role on . (He won once). Meanwhile, Kaczmarek was nominated seven times for her comedic work on Malcolm in the Middle.

The couple have three children together: Frances Genevieve, 12, George Edward, 9, and Mary Louisa, 6.

Usher and Tameka FosterI 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.

Jon and Kate Gosselin

started out as a TLC documentary which somehow blossomed into the flagship reality series for the station. Now, the cable reality show has suddenly become extremely important…because suddenly, it’s become extremely interesting. Even the hint of infidelity is enough to create a media firestorm.

This has made Jon & Kate Plus 8 the nation’s newest obsession, but only watchers will get the inside scoop. “I didn’t think it would escalate into what it’s become,” said Jon Gosselin, who sparked the original rumors by appearing in public with a female companion, aged 23.

“Just the allegations make me furious,” Kate responded to the media gossip. When asked about the future of her marriage, she replied, “I wish I knew.” Ah, the future is an uncertain mistress. “Very swiftly we turned into two people,” she said during the TLC special.

TLC offered Jon and Kate’s sides of the story for the season premiere of the show, which conveniently falls right when media attention is at its hottest.

…Isn’t it funny how these things work out, sometimes?

Senn Penn and Robin Wright PennIt 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

After 28 years with the same woman, apparently decided there was no time to waste.

Last night, the 53-year-old actor brought the new lady in his life to the LA premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The red carpet introduction occurred just over two weeks after his wife officially filed for divorce.

Gibson reportedly became close with Oksana Grigorieva during the production of last summer. (The 39-year-old singer, who is signed to Gibson’s Icon Records label, had been asked to write a song for the film.) According to Mel, he and his wife, Robyn Moore , had been separated for nearly two years by this point.

Although Oksana is relatively unknown in the tabloid world, Gibson isn’t the first actor she’s ever dated. The composer has a 12-year-old son with former 007 Timothy Dalton.

DescriptionMaybe 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.

LuAnn and Alexandre de LessepsHow would an etiquette expert deal with an extramarital affair? Let’s ask ‘s resident countess.

Although she was full of dating advice for costar Bethenny Frankel (you can eavesdrop on that conversation after the jump), it turns out was having her own relationship problems back at home.

According to the New York Post, LuAnn recently discovered that her husband of 16 years, Count Alexandre de Lesseps, had been seeing another woman. Alexandre reportedly confirmed his cheating ways to his (fourth) wife in a less than proper manner. “They decided to separate. She got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn’t answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her,” a friend claimed.
