Dennis Quaid's Wife Files for Divorce
Kimberly filed the divorce petition citing, “the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities…that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation.” Kimberly is asking for spousal support and they have a temporary order which gives Kimberly the house and the Mercedes, while Dennis gets the condo, the Cadillac and the Escalade. However, they do have a Range Rover and the temporary custody order says, “The parties shall cooperate with one another in using the Range Rover…” Kimberly is asking for spousal support and wants all community assets to be fairly divided, but Dennis is saying “Hell no!” He wants her to get nothing. The temporary order also states that they cannot say anything “vulgar, profane, obscene or indecent,” to one another. The two were married in 2004 and have twin sons together who are now four years old. This is Dennis’s third marriage. He divorced actress P.J.

Coolio's Son in Jail for Robbery, Kidnapping and Larceny
Coolio’s eldest son has been arrested is currently locked up in a Nevada jail. 22 year-old Grtis Ivey, who appeared on the reality show “Coolio’s Rules” as ‘Artis’ was arrested for busting into an apartment in Vegas, forcing the tenant into the bathroom at gunpoint. He and female prostitute Shantrice Wilkerson then ransacked the place. The police report states that Shantrice was working an LAX nightclub at the Luxor on October 26, and she met a guy name Joseph Hall. He didn’t realize she was a call girl. It’s Vegas, after all. Most everyone looks like a prostitute. The two hit it off, and Wilkerson told Hall she had a “dream” of having sex on a pile of money. Hall asked if $5,000 was OK, and she said yeah, sure, I guess that’ll do, and the two went back to get some cash from Hall’s apartment. Wilkerson remembered where he lived and brought Grtis to the place three days later to rob it. Coolio’s son then entered the home with a gun, and the two stole a safe, two iPads, two laptops, a passport, and pretty much everything else. According to the police, they were able to identify Coolio’s son and the hooker, and they were both arrested for robbery with a deadly weapon, first degree kidnapping and grand larceny. Grtis is currently being held without bail, set to face a judge on Monday.

Heidi Klum on Seal Split: My Marriage Wasn't What It Seemed

The model is finally breaking her silence on the matter. Heidi appears on the April cover of Elle, and in the mag, she talks about her high-profile, shocking split from Seal. "To the outside world, you don't really share all the things that happen. You kind of share just the most amazing sides," she explains. "But I don't really want to get into any of that stuff. With my life, my family, my business -- I want to go forward." "I feel like already there are so many things being said about us -- about him, about me. I'm not going to comment. Otherwise it makes you angry. You can't always call and say, 'This is not true, but this part is true.' He's a growm man. I can't tell him what to do and what not to do," Klum says. "It's hard." Klum says her main focus is her kids. "I'm a lioness. I have four cubs. I'm a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them," she says. "I don't want to talk about them, or him, or me."
