Patrick, 30, and Hospenthal, 47, a physical therapist and personal trainer who specializes in fitness for golfers, were married in Scottsdale, Ariz., in 2005 after becoming engaged on Thanksgiving Day 2004. “I am sad to inform my fans that after 7 years, Paul and I have decided to amicably end our marriage.

Michael Lohan is adamant that he didn’t cheat on Dina Lohan when he knocked up Kristi Horn during their marriage 17 years ago, because they were on a break. MiLo’s secret love child Ashley Horn was revealed on TV last week. Michael Lohan, Love Child He long denied that he was the father, only to be put in his paternal place by a DNA test while the cameras rolled. It was unexpected and awkward, to put it mildly. Now he’s doing damage control amid backlash. The father of Michael Jr., Cody, Ali and Lindsay Lohan – plus another baby soon with pregnant Kate Major – says Ashley wasn’t the result of “cheating” or “an affair.” ” Dina and I were separated and living separately at the time for 8 months,” he tells TMZ. Michael also says he saw Lindsay Lohan on Good Morning America and is calling BS on her claim that she was in the dark about the love child this whole time. “Dina has been telling our children that Ashley is my daughter for years, without even knowing the results,” he says. “So how could this be news to our children?” We can’t believe we’re saying this, but … Michael Lohan is right.

Grass ain’t always greener… NeNe Leakes Talks About Marriage With Gregg If your man thinks the grass is greener on the other side, than let him wander — this according to reality star turned marriage counselor NeNe Leakes ! Via RadarOnline : The Real Housewives of Atlanta star and her ex-husband, Gregg, are opening up to the December issue of Ebony magazine about why they got divorced after 15 years of marriage and hint that they will be heading to the altar once again in the not too distant future, and RadarOnline.com has the details. Leakes maintains that she had nothing to do with the demise of their marriage and that it was all on the shoulders of her wayward husband. “It hurt me to file for divorce, but I had to see it through. I let him know you’re going to be my husband and you’re not going to be somebody else’s anything, but if you plan to be somebody else’s anything, then we can’t be together,” Leakes reveals. “Gregg needed to feel what it was like without me. I wanted to let him see if the grass was really greener on the other side. He brought his a** back, because the grass is very brown over there. “Not only have we divorced, but we are back together as a couple. This is our new normal. I’m telling you, TV is a beast. It will make you do s**t you never thought you’d do.” Gregg also chimes in on the reason behind their split. “To expose oneself is the beginning of healing and the beginning of forgiveness. I have never blamed her for anything except being outstanding,” he explains. “If I didn’t blame her [for the relationship’s demise], I must have had shortcomings. Whatever it was, I refused to have my family become another statistic. I fought to get my family back, and that’s what I did with the help of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” And while having all of their dirty laundry aired on national television may seem like a bad thing, he believes that it actually helped other people going through similar situations. “What we went through in exposing our situation had the ultimate benefit. It’s about helping someone else learn from what we went through,” he says. When asked if he was planning on putting a big ring back on his ex-wife’s finger, Gregg played coy and encouraged people to find out by watching this season’s Real Housewives of Atlanta. “Stay tuned,” he says. “How do you know I haven’t already?” The only thing greener on her side is the money. Gregg might be old as hell but he’s no dummy.
Oscar-nominated actor Jude Law plays a pious aristocrat in director Joe Wright’s sumptuous big screen adaptation of Anna Karenina . Almost unrecognizable behind a steely exterior, Law’s Karenin is Anna’s spurned husband in the film, which begins its roll out Friday and is a possible awards season heavyweight. Law seamlessly pulls off playing the high-ranking nobleman whose position at the heights of Imperial Russian society is rocked when his wife embarks on an affair with a dashing young soldier. Speaking about his role, Law, who turns 40 next month, said that he doesn’t think he could have played the character when he was younger — but he certainly would have given it a go. “When I was 25 I would probably say I could have played Karenin,” said Law. “When I was 29 and I put together a production of Doctor Faustus in London, it was successful but it took me the length of the production to realize that I was too young to play it. And I think the same would apply to this situation. I would have given it a good shot, but I think it would not have been as successful.” [ Related: Oscars and Obsession: Keira Knightley Talks About ‘Jumping Off A Cliff’ For Joe Wright In Anna Karenina ] Law said that youth would have been a handicap portraying the staid Karenin, who exudes stability and rationality to a fault. He is the archetypal patriarch that is a complete contrast from the youthful soldier who seduces his wife. “I think you need to have a certain amount of experience to play certain roles,” noted Law. “You want the audience to see a certain amount of wounds and battle scars that are obviously flickering in the mind and the soul.” Set in the lavish upper crust societies of St. Petersburg and Moscow in 1874, Anna Karenina follows the vibrant and beautiful Anna (Keira Knightley) who is the envy of nearly everyone in her gilded circle. She is the beautiful, stylish and rich wife of Karenin who holds a high position in the government and is blindly devoted to his spouse. Their enviable partnership is dealt a blow when she travels to Moscow to help save the marriage of her philandering brother Oblonsky (Matthew Macfadyen) after a plea for help from his wife, Dolly (Kelly Macdonald). En route, she meets the dashing cavalry officer Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), which ignites passion; she returns to St. Petersburg, but she is followed by Vronsky and becomes consumed by him, and they go full-throttle into a ravenous love affair that stuns the establishment. Law said he believes some Anna Karenina readers have misunderstood his character. Though he is sullen compared to the dynamic Vronsky, there is complexity in his personality that many readers of the novel have failed to appreciate. “A lot of people I spoke to before I embarked on it said he was dull and cold, but I disagreed with them,” said Law. “I hadn’t read the novel before, but after reading it I was glad Joe [Wright] agreed with me, because I think it sort of belittles Tolstoy’s study of human complexity. People are complex and there’s a misunderstanding. But you do feel for him because he’s dragged into this arena of gossip and scandal. But ultimately for him, he has to question his belief in God because he believes his marriage is sanctioned by God.” Karenin’s position at the pinnacle of a narrow class of people who delighted in rarified privilege contrasted with the bleak existence that huge swaths of Russians were forced to live in during czarist times. Though Law said he was disturbed to see how extraordinarily the aristocracy lived while most people were barely living a life one notch above serfdom in Russia, he did see some parallels to today. “It’s shocking that they were that indulged and were able to follow their whims and fancies to such extraordinary lengths — and we look at that with jealousy and at times and with fascination. What intrigues me is that the heart of the piece is about love. But there are other aspects in the book that have also been highlighted in the film and that is the role of gossip and judgement. Today there is much of the same thing and we see that online and in papers all the time. We still do that — we call out people for ‘breaking the rules.'” Read more on Anna Karenina .

U.S. women’s soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo and former NFL tight end Jerramy Stevens were married Tuesday … one day after Stevens’ domestic violence arrest . Seattle’s KING5 reported Solo and Stevens wed Tuesday night in a small ceremony near Snohomish, Wash. Only close family and friends were in attendance. Dave Mahler, a sports-talk radio host on Seattle’s KJR, also tweeted the big news: “Confirmed: Jerramy Stevens and Hope Solo were married tonight.” “Events of yesterday morning didn’t change plans. Sounds like more facts comin.” Stevens, 33, and Solo, 31, applied for a marriage license Thursday, November 8. Stevens was arrested early Monday for fourth-degree domestic violence assault. He was not charged and was later released by a judge due to lack of evidence. Kirkland police say the case was still under investigation, and charges could be brought later if prosecutors and police find other evidence, a police said. According to the police report, Stevens said he and Solo had been arguing over whether they would live in Washington or Florida after the marriage. Solo appeared in court Tuesday but left without saying anything to reporters. Police in Kirkland responded to a disturbance at a home around 3:45 a.m. Monday involving a physical altercation between eight people during a party. Officers then determined based on information and observations that there was probable cause to arrest Stevens for investigation of fourth-degree assault. Court records show the victim was Solo, who received a cut to her elbow. Solo’s 34-year-old brother, Marcus, called 911, and that he and Solo told officers there was a party and blamed the disturbance on 2-3 unknown men at the party. Marcus Solo told police he used a stun gun on one of the men, who left the party before police arrived, according to court records. Then it gets weirder still. According to court documents, a police officer found Stevens, “who appeared to be hiding,” lying between the bed and the wall in an upstairs bedroom. Jerramy Stevens told officers he was sleeping on the floor and didn’t hear the fight. The officer saw signs of a fight, and dried blood on Stevens’ shirt. The officer noted in his affidavit for probable cause for arrest that he arrested Stevens: Based on his admission that he argued with Hope Solo The injury to her elbow Signs of a fight in the bedroom where Stevens was found Blood on Stevens’ shirt One 32-year-old woman was taken to the hospital for treatment of a hip injury, and another man suffered multiple bumps, scrapes and contusions. Stevens was selected with the No. 28 pick of the 2002 draft by the Seattle Seahawks after playing at the University of Washington. He played in the NFL for nine years. He also was arrested on reckless driving charges in 2003 in a Seattle suburb and in 2007 when he was charged with driving under the influence in Scottsdale, Ariz. In 2010, while he was playing for Tampa Bay, he was arrested the night before a game for possession of marijuana. He was released immediately – by Tampa.
More swirly babies for Halle Berry ? If Nahla has her way the answer is YES. Via People : “Every night, we do our prayers,” Berry says Thursday on The Wendy Williams Show, of herself and 4½-year-old Nahla Ariela. “We pray to God, so sweet. She says, ‘God, please bring me a bunk bed and a baby sister.’ And I say, ‘I can do one of those things, I know for sure. The other one, we’ve got to keep praying on.’ What do you say to her when she wants that and can’t understand why God’s taken so long?” Berry, who doesn’t elaborate on whether or not she plans to have more children, says she’s grateful she had Nahla at a later stage in life. “I’m a much better mother at 46 — or 41, when I had her — than if I were like 21 or 25,” she explains. “I mean I was just a little baby just trying to figure it out — trying to figure out who I was, let alone having the responsibility of trying to help another little soul develop and grow. I’m so glad I waited.” Berry acknowledges that the career she signed up for involves being scrutinized by the media, but she doesn’t believe Nahla should be affected by it. “She’s just a little kid, and I just want her to be a little kid, and have normalcy and be like everybody else,” Berry says. “As her mom, that’s my job — to provide her with that, you know? It’s frustrating when you feel like you can’t.” At 46, we’d be kind of surprised if Halle had another kid, but who knows — she is planning another marriage and maybe Olivier wants a little one.

Linda Hogan appeared yesterday on Access Hollywood Live to promote her book “Wrestling the Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes,” only for the conversation to quickly turn to the Hulk Hogan sex tape . “It really is quite an embarrassment for our family,” Linda said of the video, which depicts Hogan giving it to Heather Clem in 2006. “I’m not really shocked because I knew that he was having affairs and I knew that he was cheating.” Hogan has admitted to stepping out on his wife, but has insisted he had no knowledge he and Clem were being filmed, nor did he play a role in releasing the tape. He also sort of blamed Linda for the affair because he said she abused him physically and emotionally during their marriage. Linda, meanwhile, told host Billy Bush that she has viewed the footage. “It actually did make me upset,” she said. “I’ve seen him on TV so much, but this was different. To see your husband in a room with another woman … It’s a whole life of deception. I’m glad to be away from that now.”
A judge shut Pilar down in court on Wednesday after she’d been fighting her prenup for months! Pilar’s been trying to get her agreement with ex-hubby Deion Sanders tossed out since they divorced after 13 years of marriage. Even though she lost this round, the ‘actress and model’ is still getting more than 10k a month in child support?!?! According to WFAA: Former Dallas Cowboys star Deion Sanders’ estranged wife, Pilar Sanders, came to court Wednesday hoping to prove the pre-marital agreement she signed was partially forged and pages were added. She wanted the agreement thrown out. However, the judge ruled there was no fraud, saying Mrs. Sanders willingly signed the agreement. Pilar Sanders’ attorney said not only was the agreement a fraud, the whole marriage was a sham. “She was tricked and defrauded at the time she signed agreement,” said attorney Larry Friedman. “Deion never intended this to be a lifetime commitment.” Mrs. Sanders’ original attorney, who worked on the pre-nuptial agreement, said Pilar got a $100,000 signing bonus to sign the document. Deion’s attorney Rick Robertson said, “If the marriage was a fraud, then annul it and give back the money. Give back the $100,000 signing bonus.” Deion Sanders said his wife knew what she was doing, and is trying to squeeze more money out of him. “Greed, greed!” Mr. Sanders said. “You signed it and now it’s over and your lifestyle is over, so you want to fight it. Greed.” The judge, who has heard similar arguments twice before, said Pilar Sanders willingly signed agreement, there was no fraud and told her attorneys not to bring the issues to his court again. Deion flashed a victory sign when he walked out of court and posted up on Twitter right after: Is Pilar a gold-digger or do you think she has a right to keep going after more money?
