Source: Charlotte Observer / Getty Todd Palin Files For Divorce From Sarah Palin After 31 Years Of Marriage Sarah Palin’s husband, Todd, has filed for divorce from the former governor of Alaska and Vice Presidential candidate , citing “incompatibility of temperament” and that “they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.” According to NBC News , Todd Palin asked to dissolve the couple’s 31-year marriage in a filing submitted on Friday in Anchorage Superior Court. The paperwork was submitted only eight days after the couple’s anniversary. Though the filing only uses initials, it details the couple’s marriage date and the birth date of their 11-year-old son, Trig, asking for an equal separation of both assets and debts. The couple got married in 1988 and have five children: Track, Trig, Bristol, Willow and Piper. Todd’s filing asks for shared custody of their youngest, Trig. This news comes a little less than a year after their daughter, Bristol Palin , got divorced from her ex-husband Dakota Meyer, which followed their short stint on one season of MTV’s Teen Mom OG .
Meghan Markle has found herself in the hot seat once again. And this time it is all because she is too dang good of a friend! (seriously) After the Duchess made a secret getaway to New York City to watch her bestie Serena Williams play in the US Open, sources have now confirmed that the royals are royally pissed . According to Radar Online, the weekend of the Tennis Championship also happened to fall on the royal family’s Highland Games event at Balmoral Castle. Which Meghan was apparently “too busy” for, even though it was earlier reported by the Mail On Sunday that she and Prince Harry were set to attend the event. Hmm.. *sips tea.* Markle tried her best to keep her recent American travels on the DL as she quietly flew solo to NYC on Friday, successfully leaving on Sunday with little to no street paparazzi interferences, according to Page Six . A royal insider also shared that after Meghan’s talk-of-the-town baby shower , she learned her lesson. “After all the big fanfare of her [last NYC] trip for her two-day baby shower, where paparazzi followerd her every move and staked out The Mark Hotel to catch Meghan, her famous friends, and the array of gifts arriving, it seems Meghan has learned her lesson.” The poor girl just wanted to cheer on her bestie without being scrutinized! “She was in New York to support Serena, and catch up with a few other old friends, but was determined to keep everything low-key and as under-the-radar as possible,” shared the source. Unfortunately, it’s really not that possible. Instead, the whole world now knows that Meghan left baby Archie at home, boarded a (yep, commercial!) plane , took to the big apple, and in the royal’s minds she chose, once again, her famous friends over them. Dun, dun, dun… Scotland’s Braemar Gathering for the Highland Games — which includes a hammer throw and tug of war — has taken place for almost nine hundred years and it’s the royal family’s job to make an annual appearance to show their support to the competitors. They also take the time to enjoy a nice family vacay in Scotland while at the games. This event is an old-fashioned royal protocol and, once again, Meghan would rather not . And we do NOT blame her. While the Queen, her son Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, and other royals attended the event, Meghan and Harry’s spokesperson said they were “too busy” and Archie, at four months, was still “too young” to make the trip. Which only lasts 1 hour in flight duration… we’re seriously wondering what this couple will use to get out of wretched family events when Archie is too old to use as an excuse . The new mom, however, took the 3,500-mile flight to NY to sit in the stands to support her pal… which she did, in a very cute denim dress. Serena ended up losing the match to Bianca Andreescu of Canada, who walked away with the $3.85 million prize, but we’re sure it was still more entertaining than the ancient games taking place back in Europe. According to a source from The Mail on Sunday, the Queen felt “hurt” by Meghan’s absence as she intended to bring together her friends and family. And on top of her disappointment, the publication shared that the Queen is also “baffled” by Meghan and Harry’s lack of protocol. Yikes . To have the Queen of England “hurt” and/or “baffled” by you sounds like easily one of the most horrifying things, but on behalf of the Duchess, we’re proud of her for supporting her friend and for holding on to her life. Markle has been blasted too many times to count, from the British press dubbing her a diva to claims that she appears to be more comfortable hanging out with her celebrity friends than doing her royal duties. We wouldn’t blame her if she decided to move to another kingdom far, far away … Manhattan perhaps? View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess

She may not be a housewife, but we’re guessing Felicity Huffman is feeling mighty desperate these days, Along with fellow actress Lori Loughlin, Huffman is one of the faces of the college admissions bribery scandal , which made tabloid headlines back in March and continues to create endless legal nightmares for many well-heeled, but ethically-deficient parents. Basically, Loughlin and Huffman stand accused of handing out bribes in order to ensure their children’s admission to top colleges. Loughlin refused a plea deal and is planning to fight her charges in front of a judge. Huffman accepted a deal from prosecutors — but it looks like the court is still planning to make an example of her. According to documents filed on Friday, the U.S. Attorney’s office is recommending that Huffman pay a fine of $20,000 and serve one month in federal prison. “Huffman’s conduct was deliberate and manifestly criminal: it was wrong, she knew it was wrong, and she actively participated in manipulating her daughter’s guidance counselor, the testing services and the schools to which her daughter applied,” the documents read. “Her efforts weren’t driven by need or desperation, by a sense of entitlement, or at least moral cluelessness, facilitated by wealth and insularity,” prosecutors wrote. “Millions of parents send their kids to college every year. “All of them care as much as she does about the children’s fortunes. But they don’t buy fake SAT scores and joke about (‘Ruh ro!’) along the way.” The “Ruh ro!” remark is a reference to a comment Huffman made in an email to co-conspirator Rick Singer when she learned that her daughter’s high school would be using its own proctor for the SAT, which would make it more difficult for her daughter to cheat on the exam. Needless to say, it sounds as though prosecutors are taking Huffman’s case quite personally — and she’s certainly not receiving much sympathy from the public. According to TMZ, 27 people submitted letters of support defending Huffman’s actions, including her husband, William H. Macy, and her Desperate Housewives co-star Eva Longoria. But it doesn’t sound like those B-list pleas will be enough to keep Huffman from serving time. We imagine Loughlin — who, again, refused the deal that was offered to her by prosecutors — is shaking in her designer boots at the moment.
While it may be true that Scott Disick didn’t fully appreciate his family before it fell apart, he’s all about family these days. Dating Sofia Richie seems to have made him into a better man and a better father. And no one is more aware of that fact that Kourtney Kardashian. Us Weekly spoke to an inside source about how Kourtney Kardashian really feels about her baby daddy’s very serious romance with Sofia Richie. “Kourtney thinks Sofia brings out the best in Scott,” the insider reveals. While there’s a lot to be said about whether women should be responsible for a man’s behavior … we have to say that she’s right on the money. “And,” the source shares, Kourtney “is happy for them.” Considering that she has every right to be resentful that he couldn’t get his act together when they were together, that’s very gracious of her. “Kourtney and Sofia share a common background and lifestyle,” the insider observes. “And,” the source adds. “Sofia is easy to get along with.” That is great to hear, though unsurprising. Aside from the people she dates, she’s never really at the center of much drama. The insider elaborates, saying that Sofia is easy-going “and is a normal girl.” Right, just a normal world-famous young model whose dad is Lionel Richie. Normal. “Everything is positive with Sofia and Kourtney right now,” the source continues. That is great to hear. “The family is in a really good place right now,” the insider observes. It can be difficult to reenact the lyrics to Gwen Stefani’s “Cool,” but Kourtney is managing it. “And,” she source divulges. “Wveryone views Sofia as being part of the family.” With an insular group like the Kardashians, that is no easy feat. But apparently Sofia is just another cog in the Kardashian machine these days. “Sofia is integrated into their lives,” the insider explains. Getting along with Kourtney and with the kids is a huge part of how that has worked out. “And,” the source reports. “They’re closer than ever before.” Modern families can be very complicated (so could not-so-modern families be, by the way). When you make it work, it works. The first priority, of course, are Kourtney and Scott’s three kids — Mason, Penelope, and Reign. “Kourtney and Scott are coparenting in a great way,” the insider praises. “Scott and Kourtney realize it looks weird from an outside perspective,” the source acknwoledges. “That they have stayed so close as exes. “But,” the insdier points out. “It works for them.” It certainly seems to be. And the addition of Sofia seems to have, if anything, calmed the waters instead of making things worse. The report also goes to great pains to shut down rumors that Kourtney has mixed feelings about how well Scott and Sofia work together. “Any rumors about Kourtney thinking it’s ‘bittersweet’ …” the source begins. The insider continues: “that Scott has been able to be the partner to Sofia that he wasn’t able to be for Kourtney.” The source concludes by strongly affirming that these “are strictly rumors.” Feelings are complicabed, but it is 100% possible to get over your ex while interacting with them every single day. And how could Kourtney not feel happy that the situation is the best that it could be for her three children? View Slideshow: Kourtney Kardashian Accused of Promoting Incest with Creepy New Photo
Source: Becher/WENN.com / WENN At 79 years old, Tina Turner is as direct as she wants to be with useful testimony about her life. The rock queen recently did an interview with The New York Times and although she endured a hectic life, she’s now just as carefree as ever. She has a musical about her life headed to Broadway, she’s married to music producer Erwin Bach , and she’s enjoying the fruits of her labor with 10 years of retirement. “I don’t necessarily want to be a ‘strong’ person,’” she told the Times . “I had a terrible life. I just kept going. You just keep going, and you hope that something will come.” Ms. Turner then gestures to her extravagant home in Switzerland, adding, “This came.” Spoken like a true legend. Turner also spoke about her notoriously abusive relationship with the late Ike Turner, shedding insight on how forgiveness manifests for different people. “I don’t know if I could ever forgive all that Ike ever did to me,” Turner said. Then she added, “Ike’s dead. So we don’t have to worry about him.” There you have it. Along with her tips on resilience, Turner also gave tips on just relaxing and doing nothing. Although she had great moments during her 50 years of performing, Turner is enjoying retirement and has no plans to return as a music artist. “I don’t sing. I don’t dance. I don’t dress up,” she said. After a life of pleasing other people, Ms. Turner has no qualms about living a little selfishly in her soon-to-be 80s. “I was just tired of singing and making everybody happy,” she said. “That’s all I’d ever done in my life.” The upcoming Broadway musical, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, first made its debut in London before coming to the U.S., according to Playbill. Actress Adrienne Warren will reprise the title role and she’ll be joined by Daniel J. Watts as Ike Turner. Acclaimed playwright Katori Hall wrote the book for the show. “Tina is such a powerful being—beyond an icon,” Hall told the cast on their first day of rehearsal. “[Tina] always said she wanted to use the poison that she had to take in her life in order to create medicine for others. I want you guys in this rehearsal to embrace the responsibility. The responsibility of telling this story that is going to transform people.” Tina will explore Ms. Turner’s life from Nutbush, Tennessee to international fame. Performances will start on October 12 at the Lunt-Fortanne Theatre and opening night is November 7.
