Burlesque star Christina Aguilera recently spoke out about the real reasons she filed for divorce from Jordan Bartman, according to People.

The Grammy winner is now back on the dating scene with a new man, Matthew Rutler, a set assistant she met while filming Burlesque. She describes him as a kind person who she could spend hours talking to without realizing any time has gone by.

Apparently one set of divorce papers isn’t enough. Just days after Eva Longoria filed for divorce from husband Tony Parker in California, Parker has counter-sued in Texas. Longoria’s decision to end the couple’s 3 year marriage was due to her discovery of a number of text messages between her husband and Erin Barry (wife of fellow San Antonio Spurs teammate Brent Barry). According to RadarOnline, since Longoria’s filing, the only public comment Parker had to make about the split was to People, saying that he was aware that his wife was filing in California, while denying allegations that he had already filed in Texas.

Eva Longoria officially filed for divorce from San Antonio Spurs player, Tony Parker this past week. The actress was appalled after finding hundreds of inappropriate text messages from the wife of Parker’s teammate whose identity still remains a mystery, according to People. The Desperate Housewife confided in pal, Mario Lopez, and it’s now been revealed that this is not Tony Parker’s first affair. Prior to this indiscretion, he cheated with another woman and continued to keep in touch with her on Facebook. “[Eva] is devastated, she wants us all to know that, but she’s strong,” said Lopez.
All Christina Aguilera wants for her son, Max, who “is the happiest guy ever,” is “to see to it that he remains that way.” After filing for divorce on October 14th from her husband, Jordan Bratman, Aguilera looks to her own childhood for assurance when it comes to parenting. RadarOnline reports that the singer/actress was raised by a single mother as well, which “turned out fantastic.” Despite the confidence Aguilera exudes while promoting her new film Burlesque, she admits raising Max won’t be easy. She says, “It’s hard just being a working mom.”

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are making headlines once again. The Hills couple are now planning to renew their vows. “I feel like our first [wedding] was an elopement and we had so many margaritas and it was such a crazy time…and then the second one wasn’t our wedding.

The couple’s marriage has had its fair share of ups and downs so far, including short-lived divorce proceedings.

Could the reason for the split between Miley Cyrus’ parents be due to her mom, Tish, having an affair with rocker Bret Michaels? US Weekly‘s source seems to think so. The 17 year marriage between Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus is coming to an end as Billy Ray filed for divorce on October 27. Michaels was introduced to the Cyrus family back in February when he and teen sensation Miley Cyrus released the duet “Nothing to Lose.” Since then, Tish was spotted at Michaels’ February 28 show in Los Angeles. Although reps for both Tish and Michaels deny that there is nothing more than a professional relationship between the two, Billy Ray is seeking joint custody for his three minor children he has with his soon-to-be ex-wife.

Actress Courteney Cox has finally spoken out about her pending divorce to husband and actor David Arquette, People has learned. During an interview for Australia’s TV Week, Cox said, “I don’t know what will happen, but this is not like we’re getting divorced…This is a separation and I think that takes a lot of courage. Whatever is supposed to happen will be the best thing for us.” At the same time, however, Cox admits that all is not well in the duo’s 11 year marriage. “Sometimes you just realize ‘Wow, we actually have grown apart,” she said. As far as her husband’s Howard Stern radio appearance, Cox seemed nonchalant about it, saying Arquette is a “kook” and an “entertainer.” And as Arquette went to Stern for support, Cox has been spending time with her bestie, Jennifer Aniston. “We just have fun, we laugh, we’re inseparable and it’s great.”

In fact, the two even planned to celebrate Halloween together with their daughter. “Sunday, yeah we go trick-or-treating,” Arquette said at a recent film screening. “Coco is going to be a bumblebee and Courteney is going to be a sunflower. I’ll put on a flower suit or something,” Arquette joked.After a split, how can you keep your child’s life normal?

We are trying to work though some personal matters.” While they appreciate thoughts and prayers, the issue of custody has come up, and as Us Weekly states, “Billy Ray asks for shared custody of their three minor kids [Miley, Braison, and Noah], and for an equitable division of their marital assets.”

After what seemed like a heartfelt message to his family and friends via Twitter, Jon Gosselin’s ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman is calling him out on his chronic lying habit. Gosselin tweeted, “I am acutely aware of the mistakes I made in 2009 and I am ashamed of the choices I made. I have apologized to Kate, my family, and to my friends. Through counseling I have learned to own my actions. My goal is to move forward in a positive direction.” Despite Gosselin’s seemingly good intentions, Glassman insists that his Twitter apology was just a “negotiating tactic to gain sympathy from the public,” according to RadarOnline. Glassman called her ex a “pathological liar” whose life coach once told her and her parents to “accept his lying and not get mad at him for it because he will then never tell the truth.”

Vedder and model Jill McCormick married September 18, and Harper and Dern spent a week partying in Honolulu along with other celebrities like Jack Johnson and Sean Penn. The couple’s reps had no comment on the split.
What are some signs that your partner is unhappy in your relationship?
After years of irreconcilable differences, Hollywood couple Couretney Cox and David Arquette have announced their official separation. The two have been married for 11 years. Ironically, this romance began when they met on the set of Scream in 1996. They now have a six-year-old daughter named Coco, whom they both adore. As Cox and Arquette recently told People, “The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage. We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply. As we go though this process we are determined to use kindness and understanding to get through this together.” Though this separation may appear drama-free, it seems the marriage was not. The media has reported repeated arguments in the past.

Although he says he’s “not a criminal,” according to RadarOnline, his wife is going ahead with separation proceedings.
