The couple, who announced that they were filing for divorce (or rather, Vanessa was) two months ago, have reportedly reconciled. So we’re guessing it wasn’t all about taking home Kobe’s millions and his mansions for Vanessa, after all.

She obviously truly loves him… despite the fact that he allegedly cheated on her with “multiple women” throughout their marriage.

Vanessa showed up at a Lakers game on Valentine’s Day to support her Kobe and his team against the Atlanta Hawks… and she even gave him a congratulatory kiss—on the lips—as he was on his way to the locker room after the Lakers’ victory.

After speaking with sources with inside information on the current state of Kobe and Vanessa’s relationship, TMZ reports:

“…the two are working on a reconciliation… [but] are NOT living with each other … yet. ”

Are you happy that Kobe and Vanessa are back together?

Oh, and because they never actually had time to kick one up.

Since there was no prenup between Russell and Katy, the community property law takes effect, which means everything they both earned while they were married will be divided 50/50. And since Katy earned more than Russell did, she stands to lose more.

But, as previously reported, Russell has refused to take the $20 million (of Katy’s hard-earned money) that he is entitled to in their divorce. And, according to sources, both he and Katy have no regrets about not signing a prenup.

TMZ reports:

“Katy and Russell‘s marriage happened so fast, they never really had the opportunity to summon their lawyers and hash out a prenup … nor did either really believe they needed one.”

The site continues:

“…both felt comfortable one wouldn’t screw the other in the event of a divorce — they both knew where the other person stood on money, life, religion … everything.”

Also, according to TMZ’s source:

“Russell is a very simple person who doesn’t need much to make him happy. He would never take money that [Katy] earned. That’s not Russell. And if it was the other way around, Katy wouldn’t have taken it either. They respect each other too much.”

Wow. What an amicable divorce… who knew that could happen in Hollywood?

Russell, whose divorce from pop superstar wife Katy Perry was announced just before New Year’s Eve following a string of breakup rumors over the holidays, reportedly stands to take home over $20 million dollars of Perry’s money… thanks to the fact that the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement.

In the absence of a prenup, everything the couple earns during the time they were married is to be summed up and divided equally… and since Katy earned around $44 million from May 2010 to May 2011, Russell is entitled to half of everything she made… which means he stands to rake in quite a fortune.

But here’s the thing… Russell has no plans of taking even a single cent from Katy. He’s more than happy to take home whatever he earned while they were married and let Katy have all of her hard-earned millions.

Wasn’t that gentlemanly of him? A source tells TMZ:

“This divorce is as amicable as it gets, and Russell was a mensch (Yiddish for a good person).”

Say what you want about Russell Brand, but we think this proves that he’s a pretty stand-up guy…

And we just can’t believe it.

Heidi and Seal, divorcing? It seems totally absurd. They are arguably one of the most “solid” couples in all of Hollywood, and we just can’t imagine them splitting up. They just seem so in love. In fact, it seems they’re so crazy about each other that they’ve made it their tradition to get married every year.

And now Heidi wants to divorce Seal? The man whom she thinks is the hottest man alive? Unthinkable.

But that’s what TMZ has learned. After speaking with sources close to the situation, the site reports:

“Heidi will file divorce papers in L.A. County Superior Court as early as next week. We’re told Heidi will cite “irreconcilable differences” as the cause for the divorce.”

Heidi and Seal have four children: Leni (Heidi’s daughter from a previous relationship), Henry, Johan and Lou.

There have been no statements about the matter from either Heidi’s or Seal’s camp, so this report has yet to be confirmed…so stay tuned.

Nothing says “we’re over” like clicking that “Unfollow” button, huh?

So you know how after a breakup, most girls cope by getting a haircut or a new hair color… and then by “unfriending” or “unfollowing” their former significant others on all their social networking accounts? Well, Katy seems to be following that same exact pattern.

After dyeing her hair blue (which probably has nothing to do with the divorce, but with her new Adidas commercial), Katy then unfollowed Russell on Twitter.

A source tells Us Weekly:

“She’s limiting those interactions… He’s being so atrocious that she feels like she never really knew him.”

The source adds:

“She doesn’t want to look battered and have people for sorry for her… She’s very strong and confident.”

Russell, meanwhile, is still following Katy.

Keith and Mary Hudson, who are pastors at their own church, are grateful that Katy‘s about to be divorced from her husband because apparently, it resulted in the spike in attendance of their congregation… and a full collection plate, more likely.

And so it was that the Pastors Hudson spoke before an unusually packed house, giving praise to God for their daughters soon-to-be-ex-husband having torn their union asunder…because it helped them fill churches. So praise be!

“I’m sure that Katy‘s trending on the Internet was to get you here to church tonight.”

Mary Hudson told the packed Church on the Rise congregation in Westlake, Ohio.

“I mean all over the world, who knows how God is bringing them in? The most important thing is you are here and God wants to put the fire in you in 2012.”

Keith Hudson put his two cents’ in, as well.

“What has taken place in my daughter’s life has opened many opportunities to go in and be with guarded and gated people. God has given us a platform to go in and meet people — and they like us because we are cool. We are not threatening.”

In fact, the pastors made sure they were so non-threatening they played a video of them posing at awards shows with their daughter Katy before taking to the stage and talking about their gratefulness to God for the divorce for a full 90 minutes.

‘I love my daughter and I will always love her. Stop being judgmental and critical. Do not close the doors to your loved ones, especially your children.”

Keith said, choking back his tears as he addressed the morbidly curious crowd.

“Just because they do not like what you do or what you are, they are still praying that you stay in the race. They are counting on you. I believe in God, for every one of my children.”

Apparently, theirs is a God who fully endorses divorce, especially if it fills up their church…and the church’s coffers, as well…

After two months of being separated, Zooey has decided to end her marriage to Ben Gibbard, whom she wed in September 2009.

The “New Girl” star reportedly filed for divorce on December 27, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

The announcement comes just days after the shocking divorce news of Katy Perry, who is often called Zooey’s separated-at-birth twin thanks to their uncanny resemblance to each other.

2011 is the year of celebrity divorces, isn’t it?

Apparently, when funnyman Russell Brand filed for divorce from Katy Perry, his wife of 14 months, it wasn’t just their fans whose mouths dropped open in shock. A source close to the now-estranged couple tells PEOPLE:

“I was really surprised that Russell filed for divorce so quickly – especially at Christmas time.”

The source adds:

“I thought they would be together for a long time. Maybe not forever – but definitely not just 14 months.”

Hey, it’s longer than most Hollywood marriages. Isn’t that right, Kim Kardashian?

Okay, enough with the queen of short marriages.

Why was Katy and Russell’s split such a surprise? The source explains:

“They were always laughing.. They were very affectionate, always holding hands. They seemed like they were really in love.”

A second source shares:

“[Katy and Russell] took marriage very seriously… These aren’t people who give up,” the second source says. “I always thought they would work on their marriage if they had trouble.”

They should, actually. Everyone knows the first year of marriage is tough. Problems arise, and that’s perfectly natural. These Hollywood couples should really learn to weather it out instead of throwing in the towel so quickly.

Katy reportedly looked happy and carefree as she partied on New Year’s Eve with some friends at Soho House in West Hollywood. Considering the fact that her husband had just filed for divorce the day before, shouldn’t she be acting a bit more somber?

Well, that’s Katy for you. The singer, whose hard partying ways reportedly contributed to her marriage’s decline, did not let the fact that she was getting a divorce stop her from partying her butt off on Saturday. An eyewitness tells Page Six:

“Katy was in a private room with a group and she seemed to be in a great mood. She spent most of the night dancing and laughing with friends.”

The source added:

“One wouldn’t have ever even known that her husband had just filed for divorce. At one point, she was talking to a guy with long hair down to his shoulders in the hallway. They were talking for a while. She was smiling and leaning up against wall.”

Flirting with a new guy already?

“After midnight Katy and a male friend got on the dance floor, twirling each other around and dancing holding hands. She looked like she was having a great time.”

Meanwhile, Katy’s estranged husband Russell Brand rang in 2012 at the Savoy Hotel in London with some friends, including indie pop singer Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine.

Thus, after months of fighting and friction due to their conflicting lifestyles, Russell eventually filed for divorce on December 30, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

A source tells The Mirror:

“Russell may have this wild image but he takes his recovery very seriously because he knows his problems with drink and drugs in the past nearly killed him. Because of her tour commitments, Russell’s time with Katy was precious and he didn’t want to spend it partying all the time.”

The source adds:

“He couldn’t handle Katy’s drinking. They didn’t get on when she went out and this caused further resentment and rows… He wanted her to stay at home, do the whole Hollywood housewives thing. But that was never going to happen for Katy, she loves her singing career.”

Despite the problems, Russell and Katy weren’t so quick to turn in the towel—they reportedly tried to save the marriage by going to a marriage counselor. The source shares:

“They had therapy and marriage counseling (sic) sessions for about six weeks.”

Obviously, it didn’t work out too well. The source continues:

“The marriage was over a long time ago, and they both knew it. Their lives were heading in completely opposite directions and they realised they had nothing in common and no future.”

While there are probably many other factors that led to the couple’s divorce, it seems Katy’s fast-paced Hollywood lifestyle was the biggest contributing factor to the split. The source says:

“Russell left his party lifestyle behind a long time ago because it nearly killed him. All he wanted to do is stay at home, do his yoga, keep his demons away and have a family with Katy.”

How sad. Doesn’t this make you feel kind of bad for Russell? After all, marriage is supposed to be the time you settle down and have kids, not go crazy and party every day.

But, according to recent reports, Katy really wanted Russell to be the one to file for divorce and not her, because she reportedly didn’t want to upset her parents, who are both Christian pastors. TMZ reports:

“Katy‘s parents are evangelical Christians, we’re told she didn’t want to be the one to “officially” end the marriage by filing the docs … since she was raised to believe divorce is wrong.”

And despite the fact that they both repeatedly denied that their marriage was falling apart and that they were headed for divorce, as most Hollywood rumors have been saying, the couple has indeed been having problems. TMZ adds:

“Katy and Russell knew the relationship was on the rocks a couple of months ago — but didn’t want to give up on the marriage without making a concerted effort to work things out.”

Well, obviously it didn’t.

The site also adds that Katy and Russell have been “on board with the divorce” for weeks now, but if that were true, then it’s pretty strange that they decided to wait until the holidays to split up. After all, if Katy were so worried about her parents, she wouldn’t have marred their Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations with such sad news.

Right?

Despite the fact that Arnold cheated on her and fathered a child out of wedlock with their former housekeeper (which he kept from her for over a decade), Maria is reportedly thinking of halting their divorce proceedings.

According to TMZ, Maria is torn about her decision to divorce her philandering husband because of her religious beliefs. She reportedly does not believe in divorce.

So why doesn’t she file for annulment instead?

Well, it’s a little more complicated than that… Maria isn’t just having second thoughts because of religion—she’s also having them because Arnold has been doing everything he can to win her back. The former Governor of California is reportedly bludgeoning her with sweetness and grand gestures, as well as lavish “I’m sorry” gifts.

With all that (and the fact that she probably still loves him) no wonder Maria is wavering in her decision to divorce Arnie.

What do you think? Should Maria give Arnold another chance?

…and file for divorce.

Kobe and Vanessa, who have been married for over a decade, are the latest to join this year’s list of shocking celebrity splits. And, like the most recent Hollywood breakup (Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore), it was due to infidelity.

Kobe has been (allegedly) cheating on Vanessa with “multiple women” throughout the years, but she’s always stood by him… until now.

After speaking with sources connected to the NBA superstar and his estranged wife, TMZ reports:

“Vanessa caught the NBA star “very recently” in the latest act of infidelity, and that is why she filed for divorce.”

The site adds:

“Our sources would not tell us how Vanessa caught Kobe, but we do know it was NOT through text messages a la Tiger Woods.”

So… does that mean she actually caught him red-handed?

Ick.

Fed up with Kobe’s (alleged) cheating ways, Vanessa finally pulled the plug on their decade-long marriage by filing for divorce on Friday, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

After speaking with a source close to the Bryants, TMZ reports:

“Vanessa — who stuck by Kobe after he was charged with sexually assaulting a Colorado woman in 2003 — decided to end the marriage because she believes Kobe has been unfaithful … again.”

Another source tells TMZ:

“She’s been dealing with these incidents for a long time and has been a faithful wife, but she’s finally had enough… This one is the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

Since the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, Vanessa is entitled to half of Kobe’s assets, and she will also get spousal support.

Interestingly, despite the fact that he filed his response to the petition immediately after Vanessa filed hers, Kobe is reportedly desperate to win his wife back and is willing to do “whatever it takes” to fix their marriage.

So does that mean that there’s still hope? Cross your fingers, Lakers fans!

Celebrity news learned that, “Love,” with notes of jasmine, pink freesia, mimosa, tuberose, musk, and sandalwood, that had a very limited run during her August wedding, has been relaunched and will be sold in Macy’s stores nationwide and on the Internet…

Oh, the irony!

To think that her ignominiously titled wedding-inspired scent has proven to have lasted longer than her own marriage for which it was created. And to further think that it’s still going at it’s original price of $100 a pop…isn’t the $18 million she allegedly made off of her wedding enough?

“I thought it would be fun to create a special fragrance that represents this special time in my life! We’ve only produced 1000 bottles… one for me to wear on my wedding day, 200 for my bridal shower, and 799 for you guys!”

Kim wrote on her blog just a couple of weeks before her wedding. Does that mean the original run of 799 platinum-finish jewel-encrusted bottles numbered and signed by Kim herself has just gotten the green light to go into mass production?

“I really hope you guys love it as much as I do. I’ve had such a positive response to my previous two fragrances and this one means so much to be because of what it stands for… the enduring beauty of building a life with your other half and watching your love grow, each and every day.”

It seems Kim got tired of watching that love grow after 72 days. Apparently staying married isn’t as much of a money-maker as this “Love” fragrance is going to be.

So ticking off your Christmas list with the Kim Kardashian Love Collection now…

Huh. Should we believe her?

Ever since Kim filed for divorce two weeks ago, people have been speculating that her marriage to Kris Humphries may have been a sham—some have even gone as far as to call it an elaborate plot to make even more money to add to the Kardashian empire’s millions.

Despite this, Laura Wasser, famed divorce lawyer to the stars, has spoken out to attest to the authenticity of Kim and Kris’ 72-day marriage. She tells TMZ:

“Our office did indeed negotiate and prepare a prenup for Ms. Kardashian.  Given what I know regarding that document, it is not plausible that this marriage was a sham.”

According to Wasser, the negotiations for Kim and Kris’ prenup were “prolonged,” and the terms covered financial matters “that go well into the future”—which does not coincide with the claim that the couple’s marriage was fake, because it doesn’t make sense to painstakingly hammer out the details of the prenup if they didn’t expect to stay together for very long.

A source close to the Kardashian Klan adds:

“Why on earth would they [Kim, Kris and their lawyers] create a document which looks far into the future if they planned a marriage that would only last a few months.”

Okay, it makes sense.

What do you think? Is it safe to say that the Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries union was indeed real?

Kim recently visited estranged hubby Kris in Minnesota and took part in a four-hour counseling session with their pastor. This, of course, prompted people to speculate that Kim was rethinking the divorce.

Unfortunately, a source close to the couple’s situation has revealed to TMZ that Kim is definitely not reconciling with her NBA star husband. According to the insider, their meeting in Minnesota was simply for closure, and not a “let’s try to work through this” talk.

So, yeah, the Kim-Kris divorce is still on.

Are you sad, ecstatic, or simply tired of hearing about Kim Kardashian’s very dramatic life?
