BREAKING ‘She wants custody of the kids’: Angelina files for divorce

Sep 20, 2016

In news that has taken the showbiz and entertainment worlds by surprise, Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Brad Pitt.

The high-profile duo have been together since 2004 after famously meeting on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

At the time, Mr Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston.

TMZ has broken the story of their split, saying that legal documents have already been filed.

Angie and 52-year-old Brad have six children together – three of whom they have adopted. Ranging in age from 15 to eight, significantly Ms Jolie, 41, is looking for full custody of their offspring.

However, the Oscar-winner is willing to grant her estranged husband visitation and legal rights.

The couple – which were early in their relationship dubbed Brangelina – have not been seen together in some two months and rumour of the breakdown of their union has been abound for some time.

Jennifer Aniston, 47, is now married to 45-year-old fellow actor Justin Theroux, whom she wed last year.

Tom Cruise divorce banned Katie Holmes from dating for five YEARS

Four years on from ending her marriage with Tom Cruise, it seems actress Katie Holmes could finally be ready to open up about her experience with the Church of Scientology.

While it has long been speculated that the star ended both her relationship with the controversial cult and the Mission Impossible star over fears that their daughter Suri would be turned against her, until now she has remained silent on the issue.

But – according to Radar Online – that situation could soon be in for a change as the clause in her divorce contract which has until now kept Katie quiet is set to run out in 2017.

A source told the celebrity gossip site that the 37-year-old star cannot take her rumoured romance with Jamie Foxx public until next year because her quickie divorce settlement states she is forbidden from talking about Tom and Scientology or publicly dating another man until five years after their divorce was finalised.

The source said: “Katie wanted out of the marriage so badly, she agreed to the terms — and got $4.8 million in child support, plus another $5 million for herself.”

“She’s allowed to date, but she cannot do so in a public fashion, and she’s not supposed to let any boyfriend near their daughter, Suri,” they claimed.

Apparently if the Dawson’s Creek star was to break the terms of their divorce – which was finalised just ten days after being filed for – she would risk losing Cruise’s financial support.

Because Katie’s deal with her ex runs out next Summer, she will then be free to take any romantic relationship she may have public and to reveal all about Tom and his beloved religion.

Back on? Halle Berry postpones DIVORCE with Olivier Martinez

Sep 7, 2016

by Amber Saunders

Just three weeks after celebrating her 50^th birthday, former Bond girl Halle Berry has postponed her impending divorce with Olivier Martinez.

Late last year the couple – who married in France just over three years ago – filed for divorce after spending months denying that their marriage was on the rocks.

At the time sources close to the couple suggested that Halle and her actor beau’s contrasting personalities may have contributed to their marriage troubles, but it now seems the pair have found a way to get along as TMZ has reported that they could be set to dismiss their divorce altogether.

Today the celebrity gossip site claimed to have obtained a legal document in which a court clerk asked the parents of two-year-old Maceo Robert if they would like to proceed with their divorce.

Multiple sources have since confirmed their neither party is confident that ending their marriage is the right thing to do and that the Oscar winning actress – who has already been divorced twice before – is still convinced that if her husband were to sort out his anger issues, their relationship could be saved.

While currently the pair don’t seem to be in an official relationship, they have both been actively involved in co-parenting their shared son Maceo and Halle’s eight-year-old daughter Nahla.

Johnny Depp PRAISES Amber’s $7m divorce settlement donation

Aug 25, 2016

by Amber Saunders

Earlier this month it was announced that Amber Heard and Johnny Depp had officially ended their high-profile divorce case with a $7 million settlement being awarded to the Texan actress.

And while most people would take the money and try to move on from months of courtroom drama, Amber admirably made the decision to donate the entire sum to two charities of her choice: The American Civil Liberties Union and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

According to TMZ, her now ex-husband Johnny is “heaping praise” on the Rum Diary actress for deciding to donate the sum, and has already sent cheques to both organisations on Amber’s behalf to begin the process which will eventually see each group receive $3.5 million.

A rep for the Pirates of the Caribbean actor told TMZ: “Following Amber Heard's announcement that her divorce settlement was to be divided equally and gifted to Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and the American Civil Liberties Union, two exceptionally deserving and important charities, Johnny Depp has sent the first of multiple instalments of those monies to each charity in the name of Amber Heard, which when completed will honour the full amount of Ms Heard's pledge.”

“Ms Heard's generosity in giving to these wonderful causes is deeply respected,” they continued.

The news comes after months of allegations during which Amber had a restraining order issued against Johnny – which has now been dropped – and claimed that the Golden Globe winner had domestically abused her.

When filing for divorce the 30-year-old model stated “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for wanting to end her 15-month marriage.

Amber is giving ALL of her divorce money to TWO women’s charities

Aug 19, 2016

by Amber Saunders

The nasty divorce between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is finally over, and it looks like Amber is totally ready to move on with her life.

Speaking to TMZ, the actress said that she's going to give all of the money that she received in the divorce to not one, but two charities.

"The donation will be divided equally between the ACLU, with a particular focus to stop violence against women, and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, where I have worked as a volunteer for the past ten years," Amber explained.

While speaking to the site, she also said that it wasn't about the money in the first place.

"Money played no role for me personally and never has, except to the extent that I could donate it to charity and, in doing so, hopefully help those less able to defend themselves."

Amber added, "Hopefully this experience results in a positive change in the lives of people who need it the most."

WARNING GRAPHIC: Depp cut his finger and wrote on a wall in blood

Aug 15, 2016

WARNING: some users may find the below images distressing

In the latest twist in Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's divorce saga, it is now being claimed that the Oscar-nominated actor dramatically cut his finger… and proceeded to write in blood on the wall.

In an exclusive for TMZ, the website says it has seen court documents which detail the shocking incident.

Seemingly, Mr Depp accused his 30-year-old wife of having an affair with Billy Bob Thornton. Flying into a rage, he accidently cut a chunk off the top of his finger.

The 53-year-old then dipped his injured hand into blue paint – subsequently writing Mr Thornton's name on a nearby wall in a mixture of paint and blood.

TMZ adds that the incident happened in March of last year, shortly after the couple married.

"According to Amber's version of events Johnny, who was drunk and high on ecstasy, smashed several bottles and windows and also slammed a plastic phone against the wall unit," TMZ explains.

"She claims a piece of one of the items cut off a portion of his forefinger.

"Amber's version goes on… she's a painter and had dark blue paint in the room.

"She claims Johnny dipped what remained of his forefinger in the paint and then used the gnarly digit to write various words on the wall, including 'Billy Bob' and 'Easy Amber.'"

Billy Bob and Amber were filming together at the time – and she says Johnny accused her of affairs with other co-stars during their 14-month marriage.

Over the weekend, footage emerged of Mr Depp flying into a rage in Ms Heard's presence.

Here comes the bride: Kate Moss reportedly ENGAGED to aristocrat

Jul 31, 2016

by Amber Saunders

Back in 2011 Kate Moss gave the world major boho wedding inspo when she married The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, and it seems the model could be set to do it all over again as she is reportedly engaged to her partner of one year Count Nikolai von Bismarck.

The Mirror has reported that the 29-year-old aristocrat got down on one knee in a Venetian restaurant last month before telling the 42-year-old supermodel that he loves her in Italian.

The owner of Ristorante da Ivo – the high-end restaurant where the proposal is said to have taken place – told The Mirror that Nikolai booked a table under a false name and waited until everyone had left the venue before he proposed to Kate.

Restauranteur Giovanni Fracassi said: “She is very beautiful and they were laughing and cuddling all night.”

“He chose his special moment after they ate soft shell crab and white truffle pasta, and everyone had gone home at 1am.”

“He shouted out ‘ti amo’, and then went down on his knee. It was very romantic.”

“They were very much in love and she seemed so happy, I never saw her so happy before.”

Kate has since been snapped out in London wearing a new sapphire on her ring finger.

Unfortunately it could be a while before the couple actually walk down the aisle as Kate is still technically married to Jamie Hince who she separated from last year.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have finally wrapped up the smoothest celebrity marital breakup of all time as the pair are now officially divorced.

People magazine has reported that the pair of conscious uncouplers reached a divorce settlement back in May and on Thursday had their divorce finalised by an LA judge.

Two years after they first announced their split, the former couple have made a written agreement regarding their property and child support and have decided that neither of them will ever receive spousal support from the other.

The Coldplay frontman and lifestyle guru were married for 10 years and have remained close despite their breakup for the sake of their two children Apple and Moses.

During a recent interview in Cannes, Gwyneth admitted that while their split had been “difficult” she is glad they have managed to work together for their kids.

She said: "As anybody who has been divorced knows, you have to put a lot aside to maintain the family and the practicalities of what that might mean and sometimes that's quite tough on a personal level."

It’s officially over: Drew Barrymore has filed for DIVORCE after 4 years

Jul 16, 2016

by Amber Saunders

After four years and two children together, Drew Barrymore has decided to officially call time on her marriage to Will Kopelman.

According to emerging reports from across the pond, the much-loved actress, who announced she was separating from her husband last April, made it official by initiating legal proceedings yesterday.

Insistent that the break-down of their marriage would not signal the dissolution of their family unit, the former couple asserted in a statement at the time: "Sadly our family is separating legally, although we do not feel this takes away from us being a family."

"Divorce might make one feel like a failure, but eventually you start to find grace in the idea that life goes on," they continued while reflecting on their relationship together.

"Our children are our universe, and we look forward to living the rest of our lives with them as the first priority," they added.

The decision to file for divorce appears to be a mutual one as reports confirm that the divorce is reportedly marked as 'uncontested' in court documents.

After a year of dating, the long-time friends tied the knot in 2012 before welcoming daughters Olive and Frankie.
