Lisa Simpson Has A Cow, Files For Divorce

Yeardley Smith Erickson, or the voice of Lisa Simpson as 99.9% of the world knows her, has filed for divorce from her husband of six years Daniel Erickson.

The court docs, filed yesterday by Erickson in L.A. County Superior Court, indicate their date of separation is "under determination." She cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

The couple was married in 2002 and has no children.

17. TiredOfLies sad:
Has? HAS??? no children? Sheesh. Clearly the 'writers' at this joint haven't yet mastered BASIC ENGLISH GRAMMAR.

Actually, the article is correct and you are wrong. "Couple" is singular. "The couple WAS married" is proper grammar, as is "The couple HAS no children."

18. Thank you, CoolCat...you are correct.

As for the rest of you. You might want to consider spending a little less time trolling the gossip pages and a little more time checking out a grammar guide. Ugh.

19. Actually "the couple has no children" is correct english because the "has" is referring to couple - as a whole, single noun, not the two people who make up the couple.

So also, yes, the couple "was" married is correct.

20. Shouldn't it be, "The couple were married" -- not "the couple was married"? TMZ, I'll happily edit your posts for a fee.

21. Lord Xenu will be pleased that this scientologist freak will have more time to brainwash more victims.

All praise Xenu!

23. This idiot couldn't keep a man..... how is this news, is anyone really surprised?

She is ugly, stupid, not funny. And it's not just because she's on the Simpsons. She wrote here own "one woman show" and it was a total bomb. She's an idiot. She's not even acting on the show. She really is as annoying as Lisa in real life. She's disgusting and I hope her ovaries swell with malignant tumors LOL

24. As much as I hate this stupid wrinkled lady, she is not a scientologist. You are thinking of the lady who does Bart's voice. SHe is the scientolo-freak and she is the reason that the simpsons, supposedly the greatest satire or our modern times, refuses to ever make fun of scientology.

scientology aside, that show is disgusting and only pathetic nerds like it.

25. God, not only does Kelli have to post in every topic on TMZ, she races to be first!

This woman is sick and should be banned from the site. She admits she is neglecting her childredn to post on TMZ. I am going to contact TMZ staff, and then, if she continures to post here, I am going to contact CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES

26. This skank does NOT do the voice for Bart. She does the voice for Lisa and Lisa ONLY. Do your research before you run your FAT mouth. K-thanks

30. "Irreconcilable differences " is the ONLY grounds for divorce in California. so I don't know why TMZ always has to state that.
