Pregnant “Gossip Girl” Actress Files for Divorce

You know things are bottom of the barrel bad when you feel the need to file for divorce when you’ve only been married for two years… and you are currently three months pregnant.

Hollywood’s Single Girls Speak Out

Taking her cue from Demi Moore or Brad Garrett’s ex-wife, “Baywatch” star Carmen Electra says she is still “very good friends” with her rocker ex-husband Dave Navarro—-despite having split from him more than a year ago. Electra says while they are no longer romantically involved they are still “very close.” “We talk on the phone all the time, almost every day,” Electra recently told PEOPLE Magazine. “It’s been great because we’ve been able to stay friends.” You’ll recall the pair starred on the MTV reality show “Til Death Do Us Part.” So was appearing on the show the kiss of … 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 →

Are any of us really surprised? Even though I thought they were a terrible couple, I was still somewhat shocked by the annoucement. I dutifully read the tabloids each week and they have been running stories on Britney and Kevin breaking up since they got together. But still, it was a surprise to know the tabloids were right, at least for once. Another celebrity divorce you may not … 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 →

At least that’s what he told Howard Stern on his radio show. Last week Connolly told Stern that he has been “actively pursuing” Hough since meeting her at a Los Angeles hot spot last month.
