  • Catherine Zeta-Jones: Michael Douglas Says He Took Her for Granted

    Catherine Zeta-Jones and husband Michael Douglas are back together again following a split that took place last August. The Wall Street actor admits he took his wife for granted in the years prior to their split. He says he learned from his mistakes, however, and has re-evaluated his relationship with Zeta-Jones.

    “When you are younger you care what other people think. And you take the person closest to you for granted. You waste a lot of energy on strangers to make a good impression. When you’re older you focus that energy on the people closest to you, on your family. And you’re courteous,” Michael Douglas said in a recent interview.

    Catherine Zeta-Jones and Douglas have two children together–son Dylan is 13 and daughter Carys is 11. Douglas has children from a previous marriage as well.

    Zeta-Jones made headlines several months prior to the couple’s split for her diagnosis of bipolar disorder. She spent some time in a rehab facility following her diagnosis which was largely overplayed by the media.

    Michael Douglas suffered from cancer a while back but is said to have a clean bill of health these days. The 69-year-old actor claims he is more comfortable in his own skin today more so than ever before.

    Hopefully Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have salvaged their almost 14-year marriage. When a couple has two children and nearly 14 years invested in one another and in their family it’s sometimes good to take a step back before immediately filing for divorce when things go wrong. Perhaps with Douglas’s admission of having taken his wife for granted the two can begin anew with a better feeling about their relationship. No one wants to feel taken for granted. It’s as if they don’t matter. If Michael Douglas has truly learned his lesson it will show in the way he treats his wife. These two have been through way too much together to simply throw in that proverbial towel. Zeta-Jones and Douglas maintained from the start of their separation that they would work things out. It seems as though they’ve managed to do just that.

  • Nikki Reed Files For Divorce From Paul McDonald

    In March, Nikki Reed announced that she and her husband, former American Idol contestant, Paul McDonald were separating. Now, TMZ has exclusively revealed that Nikki has officially filed divorce papers, ending any hope of reconciliation.

    This was the first marriage for both Reed and McDonald, who were married on July 14, 2011, and they have no children together. They met on the set of Little Red Riding Hood and instantly hit it off. “We couldn’t be happier! We’re so glad this day has come!” Nikki said after their wedding.

    According to court documents, Reed cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce and is asking the judge to deny McDonald spousal support. Despite the ending of their marriage, the couple vows to stay close friends and are continuing to work on their album together titled I’m Not Falling, which is scheduled to debut sometime this year.

    “After much consideration, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald are ending their marriage,” Reed’s rep told US Weekly in a statement at the time of the separation. “They will continue to share their love of music, and are still working on their debut album, I’m Not Falling, releasing in 2014. They remain best friends and look forward to their continued journey together.”

    Nikki is currently rumored to be dating Julianne Hough’s brother Derek Hough. Speculation around the possible couple started after they were spotted on a double date with Julianne and her boyfriend Brooks Laich. Derek and Nikki have not commented on the rumors.

  • Robin Thicke: Can He Win Paula Patton Back With New Song?

    Robin Thicke has reportedly written a brand new song that will debut at the Billboard Music Awards this coming Sunday May 18th. Called Get Her Back, rumor has it the song is another of his attempts to win back his estranged wife, actress Paula Patton.

    Thicke and Patton were childhood sweethearts who were married for almost nine years when news of their break up hit the media this past February. This isn’t the first public plea the Blurred Lines singer, who once appeared on stage with a very risque Miley Cyrus during the premiere of her infamous twerking, has made to Paula Patton. In fact, Thicke has beseeched the actress in public several times since February from various stages around the country in hopes that she will come back to him. To Robin Thicke’s credit he was not twerking at the time of those performances.

    The lyrics to Get Her Back feature lines like, “All I wanna do is make it right … I gotta get her, go get her back / I gotta treat her right / I gotta cherish her for life … I should’ve kissed you longer / I should’ve held you stronger / And I’ll wait for forever for you.”

    “We will always love each other and be best friends; however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time,” Robin Thicke and Paula Patton said in a joint statement back in February.

    It was just about a month later when Thicke talked to E! about his separation from his wife.

    “We’re both very happy,” he said. Robin went to to explain why his concerts sometimes seemed like confessionals.

    “I wasn’t sharing anything except what I was going through at that very second,” he said. “So for me, as an entertainer and a songwriter, it’s important for the music to be honest.”

    Will Sunday night’s heart felt confessional be enough to win Paula Patton back?

    Paula Patton had this to say about Robin Thicke in the June 2014 issue of Vanity Fair.

    “We’ve known each other since we were teenagers. All I can tell you is there’s a deep love there—always was, and always will be,” she said.

    Might a reconciliation be underway? Robin Thicke and Paula Patton have one child together–a son named Julian.

    Robin and his wife Paula Patton announced their separation back in February. “We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time,” the couple told PEOPLE in a joint statement.

    Jessica Biel: Is There A Baby On Board?

    Is Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s marriage on the rocks? Apparently the couple has not been seen together in public in quite some time, and fans are starting to wonder.

    During the American Music Awards in November, Biel was no where to be seen, even though Timberlake was taking home several awards. Biel was absent again during Wednesday night’s People’s Choice Awards, where Timberlake also bagged several awards.

    Despite Biel being missing from the crowd, Timberlake did acknowledge his wife briefly while accepting his awards. “Thank you! I would like to thank Ellen for all the personal inspiration and the cookies — bakes a hell of a cookie,” Timberlake said. “No, I’d like to thank my parents for continuing to instill in me that no dream is too big. “I’d like to thank all the fans who voted. I’ll take it — people’s champ, I love it. And I’d like to thank my beautiful wife for teaching me patience and the little things like just putting the dishes in the dish washer. It goes a long way — fellas, you’re welcome!”

    According to a celebrity gossip site Blind Gossip, Biel is pregnant and showing, which is why she is staying out of the public eye. “He is a very talented multi-hyphenate. She is an actress. Together, they are one very good-looking (and very rich) couple. However, they haven’t been seen together much lately. Is their marriage in trouble? No. In fact, they will be announcing in the next couple of weeks… that she is pregnant with their first child! She is already showing, which explains why she has been avoiding the cameras lately. Congratulations to the happy couple!”

    Why do you think that Biel hasn’t been seen much lately…marriage troubles or pregnancy rumors? Leave your comments below.

  • Hilary Duff and Husband Separate on Compromising Terms

    Today is a very sad day for Hilary Duff’s marriage, or is it?

    Duff, 26, and husband Mike Comrie, 33, have decided to call it quits and end their marriage of three years. However, their intentions are completely the opposite in comparison to most celebrity divorces or general divorces for that matter.

    According to a report by People, an insider shared how:

    “There was no major incident – no big event between the two of them. They really did drift apart. They have put effort and thought into this decision for a long time. They tried couples therapy, but in the end, they realized at this time, they work better as friends. And they really are great friends.”

    Duff’s reps have also added that the reassessment of their marriage was a mutual agreement and not just “a rash decision.”

    Duff’s mother, Susan Duff, confirmed with TMZ that her daughter “loves Mike but sees the breakup this way, “They’re better friends than a married couple.””

    The two plan to stay best friends for the sake of their 21-month-old son Luca Cruz. Duff and Comrie will preferably be considering joint custody of their son, in which sources say they plan to take to the park TOGETHER.

    Duff recently posted a tweet thanking all her fans for their support, which further confirmed her and Comrie’s decision.

    Here is the most recent photo of the two on New Years Eve…

    Thankfully this wasn’t a sudden decision by the two but instead one that ended on compromising terms.

  • Kris Jenner Opens Up About Her Separation From Bruce

    It seems 2013 has been quite the eventful year for the Kardashian clan. With welcoming babies and new relationships, career endeavors and hairstyles comes the sad truth of saying goodbye to a few, really good things.

    While it always seemed that the Jenner/Kardashian girls sort of do their “own thing” often ganging up on the men of the family, it was still a little unexpected when Kris and Bruce Jenner decided to call it quits after 22-years of marriage.

    Kris opened up about why the two decided to end their marriage in a podcast interview with Kathie Lee Giffod.

    “We are better people and happier just spending time apart than we are spending time together. We decided this was best for our family. We came to a place where this isn’t healthy, the way we were treating each other,” explained Kris.

    But what might be a tad confusing to KUWTK fans is the fact that Bruce and Kris still hang out together on the show-and seem pretty content. Does this mean a reunion in the near future?

    “I was so blessed to meet Bruce Jenner,” she went on to say. “I adore Bruce. Bruce and I are and will remain best friends. We’re just separated, we’re not divorcing. And what happens in life is that we are better people and happier spending time apart than together. This is the best for our situation and we’re keeping it real tight and private. It’s just what we need to do right now.”

    So no divorce for the Jenner’s, but a separation? Hey, we’re happy that the two have found a solution that works for them and their not-so-Brady-like family.

    Kris continued saying, “But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority.”

  • Jada Pinkett Smith: Is Will Cheating On Her?

    Rumors have been swirling more strongly than ever the past few months that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are having trouble in paradise. First there were divorce rumors in April 2012. Then rumors began again when it was thought that Will and Jada had an open marriage. This was followed by rumors in September that Jada was moving out of the family home. She added more fuel to the fire when she posted a “letter to a friend” on her Facebook concerning divorce.

    Through all these rumors, both Smith camps have denied the couple are on the rocks. One insider recently told US Weekly, “Everything with them is great.”

    Rumors of a trial separation have started again after Jada was seen sporting a new ‘do – sans wedding ring – at the Make Equality Reality event in Hollywood.

    And something else making people believe there is an end in sight for the couple – cheating rumors. Star magazine (insanely credible, I know) are reporting that Will took some compromising photos with his current Focus co-star, 23-year-old Margot Robbie.

    Apparently, on October 25, while in New Orleans, Will and Margot hopped into a photo booth at a party – Will was shirtless and Margot lifted up her shirt to show off her lingerie.

    An “eyewitness” told the rag, “Once they pulled the curtain back to take the pictures, they let their inhibitions run wild, laughing, hugging and muzzling each other in the dark.”

    The duo didn’t even take the photos, which Star magazine somehow got their hands on.

    Insiders gave a different story to US Weekly.

    “They’re not hooking up,” said the insider, adding, “That was a photo booth on set that the producers got for everyone. It was the last day of filming and everyone was taking pictures. They were just goofing around. Will is just like that. There’s nothing more to it.”

    What may seem like trouble to outsiders may not be a problem for Will and Jada. It’s their relationship, and only they can decide what is best for them.

    Jada recently posted a somewhat cryptic message on her Facebook.

    Post by Jada Pinkett Smith.

    And even in July, when rumors were still abound, Jada told Redbook that it would take quite a lot for her to “abandon” her husband. “I have been affected by gossip and I know people who have been, too. I’ve seen marriages destroyed by gossip. It is cruel. At the end of the day, all that matters is: Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror? That is it, baby,” said Jada, adding, “What is the thing that Will could do to make me not love him? That would make me abandon him? I can’t think of one. I’m sorry. Except if he did something bad to the kids — now we’ve got a problem.”

  • Jane Seymour Separates From James Keach

    Jane Seymour, after over 20 years, has felt that she had enough of her husband James Keach. The couple have been on the verge for some time now, and now it seems to be official with Seymour filing for legal separation.

    Seymour is an English actress, most well-known for her role on the series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, a show that ran from 1993-1998. She has mostly appeared in TV movies and select TV series, usually only for a brief stint such as Smallville, which she was on for 6 episodes. She also played a Bond girl in Live And Let Die.

    She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, but has left the date of separation unknown, according to court documents that were obtained by E! News. The papers were filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

    Keach is an American actor, and while he has appeared in over 60 films and television shows beginning in 1971, he has never been able to become a star like some celebrities. He is also a director, and directed the new indie comedy Waiting For Forever, as well as episodes of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

    The news of their separation comes more than six months after the couple announced their plans for divorce. At the time of the announcement,

    Jane Seymour’s rep did say that they would continue their relationship as parents, business partners, and in charitable donations that they have worked together on throughout their marriage. The couple have two children together, twin sons at 17-years-old, Kristopher and Johnny.

    Seymour has reportedly requested joint legal and physical custody of their children in the divorce, although she is not requesting spousal support.

    At 62, Jane Seymour is finally ready for an official break from her actor-husband, Keach, who is 65-years-old.

  • Dina Eastwood Files For Divorce From Clint Eastwood

    Dina Eastwood, and the famous Eastwood couple have been highly scrutinized due to the problems that they have been having over the past year, resulting in their official separation in August.

    With the divorce becoming official soon, it appears that Dina is finally ready to end their marriage for good. They have been married for 17 years.

    The news comes just weeks after she withdrew her papers for legal separation, which she had filed on October 7th. It was reported months ago that they had separated and had living apart for several months, citing that Clint had fallen out of love with Dina a long time ago.

    It sounds as if this is a path that the couple have been on for a long time now. For too long though, Dina was just not able to do it, because really, who has the strength to be able to divorce someone like Clint Eastwood? She is getting aggressive though and with the divorce, she seeks to gain physical custody of their daughter Morgan, with spousal support and attorney fees to be paid by Clint.

    Dina is a former reality star who appeared on the E! network with her show Mrs. Eastwood and Company. Her husband Clint, is of course, the famous film director and actor known for such films as Dirty Harry and Million Dollar Baby.

    She filed the papers in the Monterey County Superior Court, in Carmel, California. Dina is Clint’s second wife, and their daughter Morgan is his youngest of his seven children. Clint has stayed pretty quiet about the situation between the two of them, and is currently working on a big-screen adaptation of the Broadway musical Jersey Boys, according to E Online.

    Dina Eastwood is certainly much younger than her famous husband, which could have factored into their relationship differences. Dina, who married Clint in 1996, is only 48-years-old, while Clint turned 83 earlier this year. They have lived in Carmel, California together since 2008, according to documents that she filed with the court, where she also states that the couple have a prenuptial agreement, but the property rights are “to be determined.”

  • Bruce Jenner and Kris Officially Split

    This story has been going around for months, even years, and reports show that the Jenner split is official. Bruce and Kris Jenner our favorite reality television couple, have announced that the split is real but that a divorce is not the next step.

    The Keeping Up with the Kardashian heads of household, or in the case “households”, being that Bruce has permanently moved into their Malibu home, have been the top talk within gossip rags and trashy blogs along with Kimye (Kim and Kanye) and Khlomar (Khloe and Lamar). The Jenners, who are splitting after 22 years, share two children together; Kyndal and Kylie Jenner.

    Anyone who watched a few episodes of this current season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians (9th season to be exact) would be privy to the tension and complications that lie within their very public relationship. To be a bit more frank, anyone who watched any season of Keeping Up would be familiar with the relationship between the Olympic athlete and the full-time self-proclaimed “momager”.

    This current season has gone more into depth regarding the relationship between Bruce’s children and their step-mom, Kris. Most reports claim that it has much to do with Bruce’s laid back demeanor and Kris’s control freak ways. In a past episode, The adult Jenner and Kardashian children met up to create an alliance in an effort to build Bruce a golf course. Indeed, it sounds and was completely ridiculous, but it was just one example from the show that displayed Bruce being passive and his sons, and even the Kardashian women, feeling the need to stand up for him. Also, in a past season we saw Khloe and Kim trying to team up with Bruce, 63, in an effort to get his credit card back from Kris, 57.

    Yes, these events may have been set up for television but we have to admit, this seems to be a bit more than a persona of both Bruce and Kris. It appears that their relationship may be exactly what it seems.

    It has also been asserted that Bruce isn’t into the Hollywood life and he’s happier in Malibu away from the paparazzi that plague his family.

    If the two do decide to file for divorce, there is no prenuptial agreement and there may be $125 million at stake. Here’s to hoping this doesn’t get messy.

  • Brody Jenner Talks Bruce and Kris Jenner Separation

    Brody Jenner, son of former Olympic track legend, Bruce Jenner has felt some kind of way lately. However, his perspective isn’t exactly what you’re thinking.

    With all of the rumors surrounding his father’s marriage to reality TV star, Kris Jenner, the speculation of a possible divorce has been on the rise.

    To most people, their current residential separation would a prominent factor that denotes divorce. However, Jenner stated that the separate living quarters may hold more innocence than people would think.

    So, in a nutshell, although they don’t live in the same home, they’re still together. Most may find the arrangement rather disconcerting, but it obviously works for the two of them.

    While no one has had any credible sources to confirm any of the alleged rumors, the self-proclaimed “Prince of Malibu” decided to speak out in regards to the situation. In a recent interview with Now Magazine of Great Britain, Jenner confirmed that his father no longer lives in their Calabasas home with Kris Jenner.

    “I stay out of their business, but as far as I’m concerned, they haven’t split up. Dad’s been in Malibu — he grew up out here — and the press has made a big deal of it. It’s nothing to do with them breaking up,” Jenner explained.

    Bruce and Kris Jenner have personally been silent in regards to the allegations, giving no inclination of any type of separation or divorce for that matter. Other than their separate living quarters, there has been no evidence of them permanently parting ways.

    Jenner’s conversation with Now Magazine isn’t the first time he’s voiced his opinion on the situation. He’s never been one to suppress his opinion. Jenner was also interviewed by Holly Scoop a couple months ago where he was questioned about the same situation.

    http://youtu.be/1-mLqsNxdaA

    Since Jenner was quoted stating a different perspective on the situation months prior, it still leads some to question the validity of his most recent claims. However, in the last couple months, he has made great strides to improve his relationship with both his father and stepmother. Brody Jenner also recently joined the cast of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
