Andre and Price Divorce turn Ugly

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Outside of Katie Price’s house, a parked locksmith van was seen. Although it’s not known whether the house locks have been changed, still, the van’s presence may spell bad news for Peter Andre, Katie’s estranged husband.

The couple’s divorce has become bitter and 31-year old Katie removed Peter’s belongings from the Surrey mansion (the house they used to share) last week. Meanwhile, Peter has officially started the divorce proceedings against her.

It was reported that Katie accused Peter of deliberately posing with their children for paparazzi pictures. The former model Twittered: “Mmmm, I smell that those pictures were set-up.” She’s referring to Pete’s photos playing with her children named Princess and Junior at the weekend. On the other hand, a source reported that Peter denied the accusation and said that he does not want to profit from the divorce.

Another clash is when Katie’s former boyfriend, Dana Bowers, was suspected of drunk driving. When Bowers was arrested, he said that his car was stolen and he was with Price at the time. As a result, Peter was furious that his estranged wife and ex-boyfriend were drinking while their children slept upstairs.

Recently, Katie pulled out of her appearance in a night chat show and was spotted at Fiona Shackleton’s office. Fiona is the divorce lawyer who represented Prince Charles and Paul McCartney.

Walsh-Young Divorce getting Ugly

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

The bitter divorce of Kate Walsh and Alex Young has been escalating its collateral damage. In fact, ABC’s head honcho, Stephen McPherson, is already seeking protection from the court!

McPherson is effectively Walsh’s boss. Young subpoenaed McPherson for a deposition (testifying about the finances of Kate Walsh). The actress’ estranged husband alleges that Walsh is hiding some financial information from him.

Meanwhile, Disney’s lawyers have already filed legal papers asking for court order to block such deposition against McPherson, who is currently the President of ABC/Disney Television.

Young believe that Walsh isn’t coming clean with all the assets acquired during their 14-month marriage. Jeff Sturman, his lawyer, fired the subpoena because he claimed that McPherson has a unique knowledge about the financial situation of Walsh.

As you may recall, Kate Walsh is the star of Grey’s Anatomy for two seasons. Later on, she bagged the lead role on Private Practice, which had a moderately successful spinoff series.

According to the lawyers of Disney, Young is harassing their client because when Walsh acquired the Private Practice role, McPherson was not running ABC Studios at the time. Meanwhile, Alex Young (20^th Century Fox movie executive) and Disney will fight this in court on July 8.

Brant-Seymour Shocking Divorce

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Public figures divorce all the time, yet many people still think that it’s such as waste. These people seem to be a perfect match. Yet, another celebrity couple filed for divorce – supermodel Stephanie Seymour and billionaire Peter Brant.

They have three children – Lilly, 4, Harry, 12, and Peter, 15. After 16 years of marriage, Seymour and Brant are set to appear in Greenwich, Connecticut court on Monday.

Reportedly, Brant will argue (through his lawyer) that Seymour is unfit to be a mother to her kids. Therefore, he’s going to fight for custody. The split is fast becoming controversial since Seymour told a friend that they still live in the same house but she’s currently sleeping with the maids in their quarters. “I’m trying my best to keep things amicable. It’s tough and he (Brant) is playing dirty with me,” she added.

Brant is the CEO and owner of a newsprint corporation. He’s also the publisher of “Art in America” and “Interview.” Originally from Connecticut, his hobbies include playing polo and collecting art.

Meanwhile Seymour is from San Diego and she has been modeling since 14 years old. She won the Look of the Year contest from Elite Model Management and appeared in the swimwear issue of Sports Illustrated. She’s also a former model of Victoria Secret.

Mel Gibson’s Divorce

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

News of Mel Gibson’s inevitable divorce quickly spread like wildfire. Robyn Gibson, his wife for 28 years filed for divorce on April 10, 2009 at Los Angeles Superior Court. She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason.

In her statement, she said “We’ve always tried to maintain the integrity and privacy of our family throughout our marriage and recent separation. We will still continue to do the same.”

Mel and Robyn have seven children. Since the couple did not sign a pre-nuptial agreement, their divorce is expected to break all records and become the most expensive one on file. Under U.S. law, Robyn would be entitled to 50% of Mel’s $900 million fortune. This includes a Catholic church in California, ranch in Costa Rica, a private island in Fiji, and several properties in Malibu.

Robyn’s lawyer previously represented Kiefer Sutherland, Angelina Jolie, and Britney Spears. Among others, she is fighting for legal fees, spousal support, and joint custody of the youngest child.

Many believe that photographs of Mel and his Russian girlfriend (Oksana) seen kissing on a Costa Rica beach prompted the divorce case filing. Reportedly, the pair became close on the movie set of “Edge of Darkness” where they were seen leaving his trailer together.
