The couple, who tied the knot in 2001, announced their split two weeks ago by putting out a joint statement:

“While we have decided to end our marriage, we both share the same deep love and devotion to our children. We remain dedicated to raising our beautiful daughters together. We ask for privacy and respect during this time.”

Though the couple was recently photographed shopping together post-split, it seems there is no hope for reconciliation, as Peter has finally decided to pull the plug on their marriage by filing divorce papers today at the L.A. County Superior Court.

Garth was quick to file a response to Facinelli’s divorce petition, in which she stated her request to legally change her name from Jennifer Facinelli back to her pre-marriage name, Jennifer Garth.

The couple will have joint physical and legal custody of their three kids.

It’s also interesting to note that, despite the fact that they announced their separation in March, the date of separation noted in the divorce petition is January 1, 2012.

After his separation from “Beverly Hills 90210″ star Jennie Garth just last week, with whom he shares three kids, Peter Facinelli is evidently still miserable as he quotes Adele‘s lyrics from “Someone Like You” that talked about a broken relationship and how it can hurt sometimes. Unlike Rihanna, who told star news that she thought Adele‘s lyrics were depressing, Facinelli seems to have taken comfort in the song probably because it meant that he was not alone .

The “Twilight” actor tweeted:

“Sometimes it lasts in love and sometimes it hurts instead- Adele.”

Aww.

You hang in there, Peter!

How sad.

Peter Facinelli, who plays vampire patriarch Carlisle Cullen in the “Twilight” film franchise, has reportedly split from his wife of 11 years, “Beverly Hills, 90210″ star Jennie Garth.

Too bad human marriages (especially in Hollywood) don’t last as long as an eternal vampire marriage.

The couple released a joint statement to Gossip Cop about their sad news:

“While we have decided to end our marriage, we both share the same deep love and devotion to our children. We remain dedicated to raising our beautiful daughters together. We ask for privacy and respect during this time.”

Facinelli and Garth were married in 2001.

More pictures after the catwalk…

Check out to see some of the great dresses modeled.  Who’s do you like best?  I think Susan Lucci has a nice look on.  Amanda and Nastia Liukin – the Olympic gymnast – were a bit too short, even though they are young. And what about how thin Tori looks?  Eat, girl!

From the Heart Truth website:

On February 13, 2009, The Heart Truth will bring the Red Dress to life once again on the runway at New York Fashion Week with the debut of the Red Dress Collection 2009. This spectacular event reminds women of the need to protect their heart health and inspires them to take action. For the first time ever, a selection of the designer dresses seen on the runway will be auctioned online in February through a partnership with Clothes Off Our Back.

…millions will help spread the critical message that “Heart Disease Doesn’t Care What You Wear–It’s the #1 Killer of Women.”

Great cause.  Which dress would you bid on if you had the money to do so?

More pictures after the jump…

Much has been made of the rift between Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty.  Last week, the two were on set together and Garth commented that everything went fine.  They were both professionals who rehearsed, knew their lines and performed for the cameras.  No fighting involved. 

However, on the red carpet this weekend, Garth and Doherty did not pose together.  The other cast mates all showed up and posed, but no one together.  No big, happy Walsh family reunion here!  Will you watch the show?  I think I’ll skip it this time around…
