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.

Balthazar Getty Finally Acknowledges Marriage Problems
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Break-ups, Divorce, Hook-ups, Rumors,
Now that everyone has seen him with his naked girlfriend, Balthazar Getty has taken the unnecessary step of addressing the media.
The Brothers & Sisters star has been the subject of gossip ever since he was linked to actress Sienna Miller. Getty, a married father of four, recently welcomed a new daughter just last October.
In a statement, the 33-year-old said:
“The breakdown of a marriage is a very difficult and painful experience especially when children are involved. In light of the fact that many pictures have surfaced in print and on the Internet which has caused myself and my family great embarrassment, I felt it necessary to at least acknowledge publicly that yes indeed my wife and I have separated and I will not be commenting any further.”
That’s okay, Balthazar. As long as we have your pictures telling the story, we don’t need you to comment further.

Alex Rodriguez and Wife Reportedly Split
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Sports, Break-ups, Divorce, Rumors,
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.

Sienna Miller Reportedly Dating Another Married Actor
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Divorce, Hook-ups, Rumors,
You gotta hand it to Sienna Miller. That woman moves fast.
Just weeks after ending her 9-month relationship with Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill), the 26-year-old actress has reportedly moved on to her next target: a married Balthazar Getty. Getty, 33, was supposedly introduced to the blonde bombshell through his Brothers & Sisters co-star, Matthew Rhys - another rumored ex of Sienna’s.
According to the British tabloids, this upsetting news has driven Balthazar’s wife to seek a divorce lawyer. Rosetta Getty has also taken their four children, including an 8-month-old baby girl, to a family villa in Italy. Meanwhile, Sienna and her new beau have reportedly been spending time together in the Los Angeles area.
If the stories are true, this would make the second high-profile affair for Miller. Jude Law was a married father of three when he and his Alfie co-star became involved.

Madonna’s Marriage Nearing the End
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce, Rumors,
After nearly 8 years of marriage, it’s really starting to look like things are over between Madonna and Guy Ritchie.
Sources say the two have simply fallen out of love and have been living separate lives for some time now. According to one report, Guy has even distanced himself from kabbalah, the set of teachings the singer has been closely associated with.
Although the couple have been dogged by rumors for years, Ritchie’s absence from his wife’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in March helped fuel speculation. Now there’s word that Madonna, 49, has hired the same lawyer who helped guide Paul McCartney through his high-profile divorce proceedings.
While Guy, 39, could be entitled to nearly 1/2 of the singer’s estimated $600 million fortune, friends of the director claim its unlikely we’ll be seeing the two in court. According to one source, it’s “not his style to start profiteering from such sorry circumstances.”
As one would expect, the British journalists have latched onto this story and are continuously churning out new tidbits. Stay tuned for the developments.

Bill Murray Divorce Finalized
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce, Legal Issues,
What could possibly be more surprising than hearing Bill Murray is a drug-addicted, abusive adulterer? Hearing that his divorce has already been finalized!
What was gearing up to be one of the nastiest settlements in Hollywood ended quietly and quickly two weeks ago - just one month after Jennifer Butler Murray filed the initial paperwork. Bill’s wife of nearly 11 years began divorce proceedings back in May citing “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment” amongst her reasons. Jennifer also sought a restraining order at that time claiming the Groundhog Day star had been physically abusive to her.

Nearly two months after brooding cutie Ryan Philippe told USA Today that “it’s bizarre” to see his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon with another man (Jake Gyllenhaal), Ryan has finally lived up to the rumors that him and his Stop-Loss co-star were dating.
Philippe and his new girl, Abbie Cornish, appeared together at a 2008 Australian in Film Breakthrough Awards, making it quite clear to everyone that they were indeed an item. “They were adorable,” a guest recalls. “He had his arm around her and they were cozy and comfortable.”
The actress from down under was honored for a Breakthrough Award for her performance in the Kimberly Peirce‘s military drama.

Restraining Order Filed Against Bill Murray
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Every once in a while there’s a story you personally wish wasn’t true. This one would be mine.
On May 12, Jennifer Butler Murray, wife of comedian Bill Murray, filed for divorce in Charleston, South Carolina. And while most of us are used to hearing the overused phrase “irreconcilable differences,” what Jennifer had to say in those papers could put the Charlie Sheen-Denise Richards feud to shame.
According to the court documents, Jennifer blames “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment” as the reasons for the end of her 10-year marriage.
Butler also felt it was necessary to file a restraining order against Bill due to his reportedly violent nature. Despite moving with their four children into a separate residence back in 2006, Murray allegedly came to his estranged wife’s home and physically harmed her. The Lost in Translation star supposedly “hit her in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’ ”

Shania Twain’s Marriage Drama Continues
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Divorce, Rumors,
You knew a 14-year marriage could not have ended without at least a little scandal, right?
As reported last week, singer Shania Twain and long-time husband, Mutt Lange, have announced they are finally calling it quits. Anyone reading into the press statement at the time might have noticed something missing; nowhere did it say the “split was amicable” or that they would “remain good friends.” That’s because it didn’t and they probably won’t.
Over the past week, people close to the pair have been claiming that a third party - someone Shania knew quite well - was involved in the split. The alleged other woman, 37-year-old Marie-Anne Thiébaud, was a former employee of the couple. (Thiébaud worked as a secretary and a house manager of their Switzerland estate.) According to sources, Mutt and Marie-Ann both left their partners and are still currently involved.
