Jane Lynch and her wife are divorcing.
The Glee star and her spouse Dr. Lara Embry have announced they are splitting after three years of marriage but insists they still "care very deeply" about one another. In a statement released to People, Jane said, "Lara and I have decided to end our marriage. This has been a difficult decision for us as we care very deeply about one another. We ask for privacy as we deal with this family matter."
Jane, 52, and Lara, 44, first in 2009 at a fundraiser in San Francisco at which Embry was receiving an honor. The pair got engaged in 2010 and got married on Memorial Day the same year in an intimate ceremony in Sunderland, Massachusetts - which is one of only a handful of US states where gay marriage is recognized.
Lara has got a daughter called Haden with whom Jane got very close to during the relationship, previously describing her as her "greatest pleasure" in life. Jane - who plays tough cheerleader coach Sue Sylvester in the musical drama - previously said, "My greatest pleasure is Haden, my stepdaughter. I am surprised how much love you feel and how you would do anything for your children. Some may say I know a thing or two about playing intimidating authority figures but she knows how important love and acceptance is. I am in love and in awe with Haden. I like watching her walk through the world without fear. She happens to be an exceptional human being and one of the most fair, open-hearted, embracing people I have ever met - grown-up or child."

Alec Baldwin Praises Ex-Wife
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Divorce, Features,
Alec Baldwin still thinks his ex-wife Kim Basinger is one of the most beautiful women that ever lived.
The former 30 Rock star, whose 29-year-old wife Hilaria Thomas is set to give birth to their first child soon, also thinks that Oscar-winner Kim is a good role model for their 17-year-old daughter, Ireland, who aspires to follow in her mother's footsteps by becoming a top model.
The 55-year-old actor told Access Hollywood, "[Ireland's] mother is obviously one of the most beautiful women that [has] ever lived -- and even divorce doesn't muddy my view of that. Kim is one of the most beautiful women that ever lived and even Ireland sees that. The good news is my daughter is someone who somewhat understands... It's hard at that age to have that wisdom that beauty comes and goes."
Alec, who bitterly divorced Kim in 2002, can't wait for his yoga instructor wife to give birth and admits he never expected to have the kind of family he has now: "I never imagined I would be sitting at a table with my wife having a baby and I have a daughter that's almost 18 years old. It's bizarre."

Russell Brand: I Never Cheated on Katy Perry
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce, Features,
Russell Brand was always faithful to Katy Perry.
The comedian insists he never cheated on the singer - whom he split from in December 2011 after 14 months of marriage and divorced in 2012 - even though the former sex addict struggled with the idea of committing to one person for the rest of his life.
"When I'm in a relationship I'm diligently monogamous and stick to the principles agreed on within that relationship. You've got to. I tried it [marriage] and I loved it. I really think she's a lovely beautiful person. It's just hard isn't it? She's got a lot of options, I've got a lot of options, so you've got to really, really want it."
Russell, 38, and Katy, 28, hardly spent any time together in the first few months of their married life as Katy jetted off on her mammoth California Dreams world tour soon after the ceremony. Nevertheless, the British actor doesn't just blame their work schedules or long-distance nature of their union for the breakdown of their relationship and admits he found it difficult to prioritize her needs.

Kim Kardashian Officially Divorced from Kris Humphries
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sports, Television, Divorce, Legal Issues,
Kim Kardashian's divorce from Kris Humphries has been finalized.
The reality TV star, who is set to give birth to a baby girl with her rapper boyfriend of more than one year, Kanye West, next month, reached a settlement with the 28-year-old basketball player in April to avoid a trial, but their divorce only became official when the judgement was entered in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday night. According to People.com, the terms of the divorce will not be revealed, but the former couple did have a prenuptial agreement.
Kim filed for divorce from Kris on October 31, 2011 after just 72 days of marriage. Their split dragged on for more than a year and a half because Kris originally wanted an annulment, on the grounds of "fraud."
Friends close to the Brooklyn Nets previously revealed he decided not to go to trial because he didn't want his basketball career to suffer. "Kris didn't want the team impacted by his personal life. If the Nets advanced in the playoffs, the trial would have taken place during the games and basketball comes first for Kris. He also knew that he didn't have a chance in hell of proving that Kim defrauded him. In the end, his lawyers were able to finally make him see that not only would he be missing out on the playoffs with the Nets, but would likely be ordered to pay Kim's legal fees. Kris then chose to settle," an insider said.

Tom Cruise is allegedly still in love with Katie Holmes.
The Oblivion star - who split from the 34-year-old brunette beauty last June after six years of marriage - is upset about rumors she has moved on with her Mania Days co-star Luke Kirby. "Katie hasn't looked this happy and carefree in years. It reminds him of the girl he fell in love with - how she was in their early days. He really loved her and still does - in fact, I think he'd take her back if he could," a source said.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette's divorce has been finalized.
Although the former couple - who have an eight-year-old daughter Coco together - originally split in October 2010, they waited to file for divorce until June 2012 and the marriage was officially dissolved by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge on Tuesday, according to TMZ.
Courteney recently insisted she still loves David, who she refers to as her best friend: "He's my best friend in the world. I love him. I appreciate David more now than I ever did. I mean... it's hard. I don't recommend divorce in general, but, you know, he is my best friend and we've both grown and changed."
Courteney, 48, also believes their split has brought her and David, 41, closer. "I think we both appreciate each other more. I hope he does. I do," she added.

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore’s $10 Million Battle
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Legal Issues,
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are locked in a battle over $10 million. The former couple - who announced their split in November 2011 - have yet to finalize their divorce as they are still in negotiations over a settlement, and the actress is reportedly asking for an eight-figure sum due to Ashton's involvement in a venture capital fund worth $100 million.
The Two and a Half Men star announced his new technology start-up investment firm A-Grade, which is a partnership with Madonna's manager Guy Oseary and billionaire Ron Burkle, earlier this month with an estimated value of $100 million and Demi believes she is entitled to a piece of the actor's newfound fortune. However, Ashton - who owns 20 per cent of the company - insists his profits from the company aren't communal as he made his millions after their split.
"Ashton and Demi are still not divorced and no settlement has been agreed, even though they have been in negotiations for over a year. Ashton made a lot of money after they married, but he doesn't believe he owes her as much as she is asking for," a source told The New York Post.

Pete Wentz Opens Up About Divorce from Ashlee Simpson
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Divorce, Drugs, Meltdowns, Features,
It's been two years since Ashlee Simpson filed for divorce from Pete Wentz, and the Fall Out Boy bassist is finally talking to the public about the split and the toll it took on him.
The 33 year-old admitted recently to Rolling Stone that his addiction to prescription pills Xanax and Klonopin resumed and he experienced paranoia following the break-up:
"I was probably physically and mentally addicted. It started from insomnia and anxiety from flying, then it spiraled... I felt like a loser already. I'd basically gone from being the guy in Fall Out Boy to being the guy, who, like, hangs out all day. I didn't see how I'd ever come out on the other side... I was scared of everything. I thought there were always people listening to me. Like, I had my house searched for bugs. It was crazy."

Jessica Simpson's parents are officially divorced.
Tina Simpson - who also has daughter Ashlee Simpson with her former husband Joe - filed for divorce in September 2012 after 35 years of marriage and the union has now been dissolved, according to TMZ. While details of the settlement have not been made public, it was recently claimed Tina, 53, was so sick of fighting with Joe that she was willing to willing to give into his demands for an equal split of everything under the family name, including the multi-million dollar clothing line she manages for Jessica.
"An offer of a 50 percent split of everything under the Simpson name has been offered to Joe. That includes the coveted Jessica Simpson Collection, which Joe desperately wanted because that's the real cash cow. Even though he has nothing to do with the fashion label, Tina just wants an end to the saga and if that means giving Joe what he wants, so be it," a source said.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Settle Divorce Case
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sports, Television, Divorce,
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries have settled their divorce case. Basketball player Kris - whose marriage to the reality TV star ended after just 72 days in 2011 - dropped his demands for an annulment due to fraud after being urged to settle by the judge and the couple will be officially divorced by June 19.
Kim appeared in court in Los Angeles on Friday, where she responded yes when asked if irreconcilable differences led to the breakdown of the marriage. "Yes, it's done. [The court] realized there was no fraud and the judge urged Kris to settle. Finally it's over!" a source told Us Weekly.
While Kris missed a court appearance last week and was not present on Friday, the judge has ruled his failure to appear in court "irrelevant" now that the case is settled and he won't have to face any fines.
It was recently claimed Kim, 32, - who is pregnant with her first child with her 35-year-old boyfriend Kanye West - was "furious" with Kris for dragging out their divorce and was worn out by their ongoing battle.
