The divorce documents, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, cite irreconcilable differences for the split. Taketa is also requesting join custody of their daughter, 4-year-old Maile Masako Brady.

Papers indicate that the Bradys actually split a year ago, in April '06, but did not officially file for divorce until today. The two were married in 1999.

A rep for Brady told TMZ "After a prolonged period of separation, Wayne Brady and his wife Mandie are divorcing, citing irreconcilable differences. The split is very amicable and they continue to remain the best of friends and committed parents."

4. I remember when Amy Sedaris filed for divorce against Myron Kempelstein after that nasty stun gun incident back in 1995. The headlines! Never got to the bottom of how that stun gun got dropped into her bubble bath -- and while she was in it. Those Greeks certain do have the tempers.

5. CA Girl @ 7:11 PM: I think that the filing fees have been reduced for Independence Day so there is a run on the courts.

6. What the hell tmz? Are you guys just making this up? This is the third divorce in that past week and were not even in the middle of the week. Wow! But than again I didn't even know Cris Angel was married nor did I know Jackass guy was married either.

I guess they keep it real secret from everyone. No one why there marriages didn't work out.

Can anyone stay together?

11. DOES ANY HOLLYWOOD MARRIAGE LAST?

You bet it does NOT. This is NO news.
I hate the commentary from the person who wrote, Hope he has a prenup.
How do you know that he did NOt screw around?
Than she deserve's every penny of his money.
Its seems like it is always against the women when I guy write's in about divorce.

12. By the way, he didn't file for divorce -- she did. She is listed as the petitioner, he's the respondent.

Doesn't TMZ have a legal department to check these facts?
