Sandra Bullock's marriage to her husband of four years, Jesse James, is under more stress than is usual to the actress and the star of Monster Garage, who usually live a low-key life in Texas. They are fighting for custody of Jesse's daughter, and now Sandra's told Parade magazine that she's high maintenance, controlling, and annoying, and was surprised that he wanted to "wake up to this at five in the morning."

Brinkley and ex-husband snipe while judge rules on custody.
The divorce proceedings between Christie Brinkley and her fourth ex-husband, architect Peter Cook, are over. We think. Yesterday the couple, who married in 1996 and have two children, appeared in a Long Island courtroom to snipe viciously at each other while a judge attempted to bring them to an agreement in a custody dispute over daughter Sailor, 11, and son Jack, 14. Their respective lawyers reportedly came to an agreement around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Brinkley filed for divorce from Cook in September 2006, alleging that he cheated on her with an 18-year-old office assistant. In return, Cook called Brinkley … Read More
A growing trend shows that men become better parents post-divorce.
If divorce is in the future of duplicitous two-timers Gov. Mark Sanford to reality TV's Jon Gosselin, these men will have to navigate co-parenting. However, a growing trend shows that many men become better parents post-divorce, to the surprise of ex-wives who find it difficult to grasp that a man who wasn't a good husband can indeed be a good father.

Robin Wright Penn's divorce looks real this time, but she's playing shockingly fair.
After all she's been through during 20 tumultuous with Sean, Robin Wright Penn officially filed for divorce late last week in Marin County, California. According to our count, this is the third time the Penns have threatened each other with papers. Celebrity Love: Robin Wright Penn: "I'm Happy And Angry"
With Sean's alleged affairs with younger actresses and substance abuse, the marital unraveling hasn't been an easy thing for Robin.

Jon & Kate Gosselin drama hits an all-time high, but Kate wears wedding band for kids.
Gosselin activity has been relatively quiet this week, with the exception of Kate Gosselin's tearful appearance on Today where she told Meredith Vieira that her divorce is a result of the simple fact that she and Jon want different things out of life.
Their differences appear to have turned violent, as TMZ has reported that last night the police got involved. The site says that around midnight Jon and Kate "went ballistic on each other" and one of them called the cops. No one was arrested, and the police were only there a … Read More

InTouch Weekly Magazine has published an astonishing interview with the reality TV dad everyone loves to hate, Jon Gosselin.

Katherine Jackson has custody and all are happy but Michael's derm, who raised a fishy question.
Even Debbie Rowe wrote off custody of Michael Jackson's children to Katherine Jackson last week, leading us to believe that the cloud of drama had passed in the fight for Prince, 12, Paris, 11 and Blanket, 7.
However, according to E! and MSNBC, an unexpected party raised a last-minute objection at yesterday's official custody hearing in front of Judge Mitchell Beckloff. Michael's dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, stated that he is not completely comfortable with the arrangement that puts the three children in the care of their grandmother. His concerns are being … Read More
Jon & Kate Plus 8's season premiere shows newly single Kate conquering momhood without Jon.
Last night's highly-anticipated season premiere of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8 was, amazingly, not as drama-ridden as we had anticipated. Jon was almost completely absent, while Kate shocked us in her shining new role as a single mom.
Despite expectations, the dynamic quite suits her. Last night's two episodes began taping in May just as the Gosselins announced their earth-shaking divorce. Kate opened the show saying matter-of-factly, "We have to start over...The official [divorce] decisions have been made...[and that's made for] more of a sense of peace."
The decisions were made, but Kate … Read More
Kate Gosselin and Reggie Bush we'll keep. This week the others were just too scandalous.
The Jude Law pregnancy zinger topped off one heck of a week in Celebrity Love drama. The highlights are here, and the letdowns are low. Even if these stars came knocking with an extra ticket to St. Tropez or spots for us on their reality shows, we'd probably be busy washing our hair.
Jude Law Honestly Jude? Thanks to him there's a 24-year-old aspiring model named Samantha Burke from Pensacola who's registered at Babies "R" Us all by herself. The worst part is not even what we heard about him refusing to use protection: it's the fact … Read More
