How You Can Watch Gary Coleman’s Divorce Unfold on National TV

When 40-year-old actor Gary Coleman married his 22-year-old wife, Shannon Price last August no one questioned if the union would last, but rather when it would end. Well, we got the answer. If you guessed eight months then consider yourself the winner in this losing partnership. According to Coleman, the honeymoon was over a long time ago, but he and his wife only got around to filing for divorce a few weeks ago. It’s probably because they were waiting for May sweeps. Yeah, you read right—-May TV sweeps. That all important time when networks vie for as many viewers as … Continue reading →

Another Disgruntled Celebrity Dad

NFL star quarterback Tom Brady made headlines this week when it was made public that his son would not be carrying on his famous last name. Reports say the beefy athlete didn’t take the news well. But, he certainly isn’t the only celebrity father who is upset about his current custody situation. Actor Charlie Sheen (perhaps, Hollywood’s most disgruntled father) is at it again. The “Two and a Half Men” star continues to publicly battle with his ex-wife Denise Richards over visitation rights with the couple’s daughters Sam, 3, and Lola, 2. The latest dispute comes on the heels of … Continue reading →

Divorce—-Hollywood Style

Well, here we go again… more divorcing couples in Tinseltown. This time it’s Christina Applegate’s split from husband, actor Johnathon Schaech that’s making headlines. Though, I’m not exactly sure why. Applegate’s credits include “Married With Children” and “Anchorman.” Oh, and she is returning to the small screen in “Samantha Who?” on ABC this fall. As for Schaech, other than a bit part in “How To Make An American Quilt” I’m not sure where he fits into the Hollywood mix. The pair was married for four years and they no children… so why is their split making the news? Perhaps it … Continue reading →

More Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor”

TRAVIS BARKER AND SHANNA MOAKLER SPLIT… AGAIN I’d thought this time they were going to make things work, but I guess I was wrong. This bit of news turns out to be REAL. The on-and-off couple is really done, according to reports. It looks like Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker won’t be living happily ever after. In fact, according to sources, they aren’t living together at all. PEOPLE Magazine is reporting that Moakler moved out. One source tells the magazine: “As far as she’s concerned, it’s over. She loves him, but it’s one of those relationships where they keep trying … Continue reading →

A Celebrity’s Ugly Divorce

That title seems so trite. After all, if kids and loads of money are involved there is little doubt that a divorce is going to be “ugly.” (Remember: Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s situation is extremely rare.) And why wouldn’t it be? You have two people fighting over the things that mean the most to them… or at least that mean the most to the person they want to see suffer the most. Such is the current situation between actress Anne Heche and her estranged husband Coley Laffoon. According to news reports, the couple’s divorce fight has elevated and is … Continue reading →

Revisiting Celebrity Marriages – Lessons We Can Learn

The last time I visited on this topic was last April but with the rash of celebrity news over the last ten days, now is as good a time as any to take a look at the Hollywood power couples where it appears the marriages are failing or ending with the woman’s successful career continuing to skyrocket and the man’s appearing to be at best, underachieving compared to the wife’s. In the last few weeks we’ve seen Britney Spears leaving Kevin Federline, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe filing for divorce, Whitney Houston finally saying good-bye to Bobby Brown and before … Continue reading →

Surviving A Hollywood Divorce

In the wake of the many headlines that revealed pop princess Britney Spears “Fed-Exed” her husband of two years, Kevin “K-Fed” Federline, I thought it appropriate to highlight the Hollywood couples who have made it past the “ugly” phase of divorce and moved on “for the sake of the children.” Please note I am in no way condoning the act of divorce, especially when it comes to the hasty unions of young Hollywood, but recently several celebrity couples that have gone through high profile divorces have addressed the issue with various media outlets. The first: the Richie Sambora/Heather Locklear/Denise Richards/Charlie … Continue reading →
