Kobe done fawked up now! According to TMZ , Vanessa Bryant ‘s days as a faithful, stand-by-your-man type of broad are a wrap! Vanessa Bryant filed legal docs Friday afternoon, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ … 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. As one source puts it, “She’s been dealing with these incidents for a long time and has been a faithful wife, but she’s finally had enough,” adding, “This one is the straw that broke the camel’s back.” And our sources say … Kobe “desperately” wants to win Vanessa back and will do “whatever it takes” to save their 10 1/2 year marriage. According to the legal docs, Vanessa is asking for joint custody of their 2 daughters — 8-year-old Natalia and 5-year-old Giana — but Vanessa is asking that Kobe get visitation rights, which means she wants the kids in her care most of the time. We’ve learned the couple has NO PRENUP, so 29-year-old Vanessa is entitled to half of the empire Kobe built over the last decade. She’s also requesting spousal support … which is typical in divorce cases. Kobe, who filed his response to the divorce minutes after Vanessa filed her petition, says he will pay her spousal support. According to the docs, Vanessa is being repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser and attorney Samantha Klein. Wasser reps oodles of celebs, including Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, Maria Shriver and Kim Kardashian. Kobe went to the Jay-Z concert Tuesday night in L.A. without Vanessa, and people who saw him there say he looked miserable. Vanessa signed the divorce petition on December 1. Kobe signed his response on December 7. These two had everyone so convinced they were happy that they managed to keep this quiet for two weeks? Wonder what pushed Vanessa all the way to the courthouse…
Singer is reportedly engaged to marry boyfriend Jason Trawick. By Jocelyn Vena Jason Trawick and Britney Spears Photo: Steve Granitz/WireImage Could it be that Britney Spears is ready to walk down the aisle again? After a report surfaced on TMZ that the singer’s longtime beau and “Criminal” co-star Jason Trawick planned to pop the question Friday night (December 16) in Las Vegas, the singer took to Twitter early Friday and had this mysterious message for her fans. “OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I’ve been waiting for,” she wrote . “Can’t wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo” A rep for the singer hadn’t responded to MTV News’ request for comment by press time. TMZ further reports that Jason asked Britney’s dad, Jamie, for his daughter’s hand before he popped the question. According to reports, Britney already knew about the engagement and the couple will sign a prenuptial agreement. As for her conservatorship, her conservators have signed off on the couple’s plans to marry; a judge will most likely give them the go-ahead to tie the knot. A source tells Usmagazine.com that Trawick asked his lady love to marry him on Thursday night while the two were at a romantic dinner celebrating his 40th birthday. The couple will celebrate the engagement at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on Friday. “This is something they’ve both wanted for a long time,” the source told the site. “It’s a way to cement their family. They’re both extremely happy and can’t wait to become man and wife.” While there’s no confirmation from Spears’ camp just yet about the engagement, Spears did reveal something on Twitter: what she bought Jason for his birthday. “Hbday Jason! He looked so cool in the video, that I had to get him a new motorcycle,” she wrote. “Check out this new Confederate Bike I got him!” Related Videos Get Inside Britney Spears’ ‘Criminal’ Related Photos A History Of Britney Spears At The VMAs The Evolution Of: Britney Spears Related Artists Britney Spears
Congratulations are still very much in order to Rosie O’Donnell and fiancee Michelle Rounds, but the talk show host told her studio audience today that the couple has been engaged for weeks. She merely chose last Friday to go public with the good news. “Michelle said to me a few months ago, when we got engaged, she said, ‘How come you didn’t say it on your show?’ And I was like, ‘Honey, I don’t know how.’ I didn’t know how to say it,” O’Donnell said yesterday. Joking about a certain Two and a Half Men star, Rosie added about her reticence to talk openly about Rounds: “You don’t want to become one of those celebrities that talks about their relationship ad nauseum and makes it into a fairy-tale thing. And then they go and have an affair with somebody. I don’t want to say any names.” Don’t worry. We’ll do it for you .
Rosie O’Donnell went public with girlfriend Michelle Rounds in September, and now she’s reportedly gone public with a major announcement: this couple is engaged! Insiders tell Us Weekly the talk show host broke this exciting news to audience members at Friday’s taping of The Rosie Show , telling them the pair will be getting married some time around Christmas. Rounds is a headhunter in New York City. O’Donnell, meanwhile, has four kids with ex-wife Kelli Carpenter, from whom she split in 2010. They split three years later. Rosie then dated Tracy Kachtick-Anders for about a year before ending that relationship last year and moving on to Rounds. [Photo: WENN.com]

Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher’s divorce has been a surprise to some, but an inevitable outcome to others. When the two married 6 years ago, all anybody could talk about was their 16-year age difference, but after chronicling their coupledom on Twitter for all their fans to see with cutesy messages back and forth, we all ate our words, assuming that they were solid. However, when rumors of Ashton’s infidelity hit the net in October, it was clear that everything that glittered on the red carpet wasn’t gold. Sure enough, less than month after the reports surfaced, Demi decided to file for divorce this week. Could their age difference have had something to do with it, too? Here are 5 other “cougar” relationships that have failed! Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry (10-year age difference) The Oscar-wining actress and French-Canadian model met in November 2005 while shooting an ad for Versace and were inseparable from then on, even welcoming a daughter, Nahla, in March 2008. However, just two years later in April 2010, the couple split and have been engaged in a nasty custody battle ever since. Vivica A. Fox & Omar “Slimm” White (20-year age difference) The actress and her club promoter boyfriend dated for over year before he proposed to her with an 8-carat diamond ring the day after Christmas 2010. She bragged about their love on camera, but less than a year after their happy announcement, Slimm confirmed their split, blaming “negativity.” Madonna & Jesus Luz (28-year age difference) The iconic artist and Brazilian model caught each others’ eyes while shooting a spread for W magazine in December 2008 – the same year she split from her (10-years-younger) husband Guy Ritchie. They traveled the world together and were photographed showing passionate PDA everywhere from Italy to Brazil to London. But in February 2010, Luz reportedly dumped Madge; though she wasted no time scooping up another boytoy later that year, French dancer Brahim Zaibat – also 28 years her junior. Tameka Foster & Usher (7-year age difference) The singer and his stylist got hitched in August 2007, much to the chagrin of his loyal (and mostly female) fans. Just 3 months later, their son Usher Raymond V (aka “Cinco”) was born and in December 2008, their second son Naviyd arrived. But the kids couldn’t keep them together; in June 2009, Usher filed for divorce from Foster after claiming they lived separately for nearly a year. Following the announcement, Tameka made sure to stay in headlines through magazine interviews and Twitter rants. Eva Longoria & Tony Parker (7-year age difference) The actress and French basketball player met in the San Antonio Spurs locker room in 2003 and tied the knot on the (not so) lucky date of 7/7/2007. Just three years later, in November 2010, the couple announced their divorce following Tony Parker’s sexting scandal with a teammate’s wife. Eva quickly rebounded, however, with actress Penelope Cruz’s brother Eduardo – 10 years younger – and is now rumored to be dating another NBA baller, Matt Barnes , the ex-fiance of “Basketball Wives” cast mate Gloria Govan. 9 Shortest Celebrity Marriages Of All Time Mariah Carey Slams Kim Kardashian’s Marriage

War hero J.R. Martinez is the first to a perfect 30 score — twice! By Kelley L. Carter Karina Smirnoff and J.R. Martinez Photo: ABC On Monday night’s “Dancing With the Stars,” the remaining celebrities were challenged to dance two routines. To make it even tougher, the stars had to perform an instant dance to a song they’d heard only moments ago. At the top of the pack was war hero and actor J.R. Martinez, who nabbed the first pair of perfect scores of the season with both his routines. Here’s how the others fared: Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke Reality star Rob Kardashian wanted to make good on his #2 position from last week with his routines on Monday night. His first dance was the quickstep to A-ha’s “Take on Me,” and the judges found him to be on point. Last week, they criticized him for his backside (saying it got in the way) but thought this first dance was an incredible improvement. “When you started, I thought, ‘This isn’t going to work.’ That opening section was terrible. But once you got in hold, the whole thing changed. Your posture was good. I had a good look at your buttocks. Your buttocks were tucked in. Your best dance so far,” head judge Len Goodman said. 27/30 For their instant dance, the twosome danced the jive, and the judges said he needed to sharpen up his feet a bit. “It was no glaring mistakes. To get through this is tough,” Goodman said. 24/30 Total: 51/60 Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy The athlete danced the quickstep for her first routine, and after weeks of harsh judging, the pair finally hit their stride. The judges found them to be in sync with one another and said they had a blend of speed and control. “What’s going on tonight? It’s the night of miracles. Rebooted. Re-energized. You never moved so well. What’s going on? Your best dance yet!” Bruno Tonioli gushed. 27/30 For their instant dance, they had the jive, and this was to be their redemption dance (they’d danced the jive earlier in the season, and Solo got off her count and messed up the dance weeks earlier). The judges thought they’d made a definite improvement since the last time they did the jive, and Goodman, who had been a big critic of the couple before, said it was everything a jive should be. “The fast and the furious! You were like a wild child!” Tonioli said. 25/30 Total: 52/60 Ricki Lake and Derek Hough The talk-show host and her partner danced the waltz, and just like weeks before, the judges thought the dance was beautifully executed the entire way through. “You had a little stumble at the end there, but your movements are exquisite. What I love and what makes you so special is that when you dance, you lose yourself completely in the dance,” judge Carrie Ann Inaba said. 28/30 Lake was confident going into the instant dance, because when she last performed the jive, she’d earned one of the highest scores that night. Her goal, she said, was to stay calm and not panic. “There were a few little stops and starts. You were on it, your energy was great, but there were a few moments where I thought you got lost. You got right back into it though,” Inaba said. 24/30 Total: 52/60 Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus The HLN anchor took on the tango for her first dance of the night, and the judges said she broke through her plateau. They thought the pair had command of the stage, and their dance was frisky and clean. “You’ve been on a plateau. But now, after all these weeks, up you’ve gone,” Goodman said. 24/30 The talk-show host took on the jive for her instant dance, and the judges thought she got lost in the choreography. “I enjoy the way you trusted Tristan. The chemistry that you two have saved you,” Inaba said. 20/30 Total: 44/60 J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff After dropping down the leaderboard last week, the war hero wanted to move back up. For their first dance, they took on the waltz, and Martinez said he wanted to push himself to get the first 30 of season 13. The judges thought his performance illustrated incredible grace and found the routine to be magical. “It was like a musical Valentine card. You danced with your heart on your sleeve. Totally involved. Totally dedicated. You made beautiful music with Karina,” Tonioli said. 30/30 The night’s top scorer, Martinez, danced the instant jive, and the judges said he was in a class all his own. Inaba said no one came close to the couple that night. “You were off like a rocket! Your timing was impeccable! You’ve got it man, you’ve got it!” Tonioli yelled out. 30/30 Total: 60/60 Who had your favorite dance of the night? Let us know in the comments below!
A new woman alleging sexual harassment by Herman Cain will break her silence at a news conference … with powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred in tow, obviously. The embattled Republican presidential candidate has been accused of harassment by two women who worked at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. Herman Cain was president of the trade group at the time. The women both received settlements, which they can’t talk about as per the terms of the settlements. Politico has alleged that Cain sexually harassed the women. Herman Cain: I Did Not Sexually Harass Anyone Now, a third woman, who will be the first to go public on Monday, will say she sought Cain’s help with an employment issue and was allegedly sexually harassed. Allred and her client will discuss, in detail, what she alleges occurred with Cain, the Tea Party darling who tried, and failed, to tamp down the scandal last week. Saturday night after a debate with Newt Gingrich, Cain refused to answer questions about the allegations, saying “We are getting back on message, end of story.” “Read all of the other accounts. Read all of the other accounts where everything has been answered in the story. We’re getting back on message, okay?” Okay. But he may not be able to determine that after today.
