Marc Anthony Files for Divorce from Jennifer Lopez
Marc Anthony is making his split from Jennifer Lopez official. The musician, 43, filed for divorce on April 9 from the American Idol judge, 42, according to documents filed at Los Angeles Superior Court. The duo's separation date is listed as "to be determined," but they publicly announced their breakup in July. Citing irreconcilable differences, Anthony requests joint legal and physical custody of the couples' twins Max and Emme, 4. He is asking the court to deny her spousal support, should it be requested from Lopez.The exes, who wed in Beverly Hills in 2004, continue working together on their Latin music and dance competition series, Q'Viva! The Chosen.
 After welcoming their son Hawkins on Monday evening, Tony Romo and his wife Candice Crawford snuggle up to their baby boy — swaddled in the traditional hospital blanket and hat — for a sweet snapshot. The picture-perfect moment came after Crawford delivered the 8 lbs., 8 oz. newborn, who has already been named “a part of the Dallas Cowboy family” by a spokesperson from the team.


Chris Noth Marries Tara Wilson

Sex and the City heartthrob Chris Noth married his longtime fiancée, Tara Wilson, on April 6, his rep confirmed. The couple – engaged since 2009 and already parents to 4-year-old son Orion Christopher – wed on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Noth, 58, met Wilson when she worked at his New York City bar, the Cutting Room. The actor currently stars on The Good Wife.
Ricki Lake Wedding Dress Talk show host Ricki Lake, 43, and her fiancé Christian Evans, 40, eloped on Sunday, tying the knot in a secret ceremony in southern California. After Lake's 2003 split from her first husband, Rob Sussman, (with whom she has two sons, Milo, 15, and Owen, 10), she wasn't sure she'd ever marry again. "I didn't think it would happen at this point in my life," says Lake. But meeting Evans changed everything. "We just clicked," she adds. "It just feels like he was the right one all along."

Britney Spears reaches $15M 'X Factor' agreement
Britney Spears has reached an agreement to serve as a judge on Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" -- and the payday is really something to sing about. The "Womanizer" singer will collect $15 million overall for the gig: approximately $13 million to judge music-industry aspirants alongside Cowell and record executive L.A. Reid, and the rest as a bonus for performing on the show. The deal has been agreed upon but has not yet been signed. Spears is still under a conservatorship following her mid-2000s breakdown, with her father, Jamie Spears, serving as her guardian.

Axl Rose: I'm not coming, so don't induct me

No surprise: Axl Rose isn't going to show up for a Guns N' Roses show. Big surprise: This time, he notified everyone in advance. Speculation has been rampant among fans whether Rose would show for Saturday's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland -- and was even more feverish about whether he'd deign to perform with his new bandmates, his old bandmates or both. The answer: Neither. Rose released an "open letter" Wednesday in which he not only declined to attend, he asked that his name be withdrawn and not inducted, even though he's the only one out there touring under the Guns N' Roses moniker anymore. Green Day is scheduled to induct the band - Rose included anyhow - in Saturday's ceremony.

TV NEWS
As part of its 25th anniversary celebration, Fox will reair the pilot of Married… With Children – which first debuted in April 1987 — on Sunday, April 22 at 7/6c. The special rebroadcast will be followed by an encore of The Simpsons‘ 500th episode. The Married cast is among the Fox fams to be reunited as part of the network’s anniversery fête airing April 22 at 8 pm.


Big-screen stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have been tapped to star in True Detective, a drama pilot currently being shopped around to cable networks. The project follows two detectives (McConaughey and Harrelson) whose lives collide during a decades-long hunt for a Louisiana-based serial killer. That story would run across an eight episode first season. Each subsequent season sees a complete refresh of the cast, setting and storyline.


Boss is set to kick off its sophomore season Friday, August 17 at 10 pm on Starz. Sanaa Lathan (Nip/Tuck) and Jonathan Groff (Glee) have been added to the cast, while hip-hop star T.I. is set to guest-star.


Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards clearly remain on good terms, as the capricious star has tapped his former wife to make a guest appearance in his upcoming FX comedy series, "Anger Management." Denise will play Lori, the new business partner of Charlie's onscreen ex, Jennifer (Shawnee Smith). "Anger Management" is set to debut on Thursday, June 28 at 9/8c with back-to-back episodes.


Fox is cutting Breaking In‘s second season short. The network announced late Wednesday that it was pulling the struggling Christian Slater comedy from its Tuesday night schedule for the remainder of the season.


New York Knick Carmelo Anthony guest-stars in this Sunday’s installment of Nurse Jackie, playing a pro-athlete in the addiction-battling character’s rehab group.


The Revolution will no longer be televised — as of July 9 — as ABC has elected to snuff the daytime self-improvement show. ABC’s last remaining soap opera General Hospital, which was at risk of being sent to the morgue upon the September 10 arrival of Katie Couric’s daytime talker, has a new lease on life and will thus live to celebrate 50 years on air come April 1, 2013. Filling the gap from The Revolution‘s end to Katie‘s debut will be GMA In the Afternoon, a companion show of sorts to ABC’s morning program.
