'Mad Men' & 'Big Love' Star I'm Getting Divorced with New Age Child Custody Plan
Actress Anne Dudek is divorcing her husband of nearly 8 years, but she's down to try the newest fad in child custody arrangements.
Dudek -- who's had roles on "Mad Men," "Big Love," 'House' and "Covert Affairs" -- has 2 kids, ages 7 and 4, with her soon-to-be ex, Matthew Heller.
According to the docs, Dudek wants to share legal and physical custody, but the physical part is where it gets interesting. Anne wants the kids to stay in one house, while she and Matthew rotate in and out every 3rd day or so.
"Bird nesting" is kinda the "in" thing to do -- and not just in Hollywood -- since psychologists think it's a good way to create stability for children of divorce.

Chris Brown It's War with Karrueche's Mgr ... He Broke Us Up!!
Chris Brown is still very bitter about his breakup with Karrueche Tran -- so much so, he's going to head-to-head with her manager Jacob York.
Brown started the beef when he saw a pic of one of Jacob's other clients wearing a Chris Brown tee. He reposted it with the caption, "@jacobyork fat ass is gonna have a speech for you" ... knowing Jacob's not a fan of his.
Jacob clapped back, "cocaine is a hell of a drug #davechappelle." Then Chris dropped a diss about Jacob's "commission money he get off da bitches he manage."
This has been simmering since Karrueche and Chris split -- a source close to Chris tells us CB thinks Jacob encouraged her to leave him. Of course, Jacob tells us that's absurd since Chris had a kid behind KT's back.He says, "I think [Chris] needs to keep me out of their personal life and take actions for what he did."
Karrueche finally sounded off too, saying to Chris ... "You're calling me a bitch but screaming my name in a song. Can all this petty s**t stop ... I'm so over the drama."
Guessing the answer is no ... it won't stop.

Bow Wow got the worst birthday present ever -- an egging, which his crew thinks came at the hands of his ex-girlfriend Keyshia Cole ... as breakup revenge.
Bow Wow tweeted early Wednesday that "one of his exes" egged two luxury cars parked outside his home -- fortunately for him, the culprit messed up and yolked his friend's rides. That friend posted pics of the damage and pointed the finger at Keyshia.

Tank Tyrese Got Greedy ... That's Why TGT Split!!
Tank is putting the blame squarely on Tyrese when it comes to the breakup of their R&B supergroup, TGT.
It's an interesting twist ... Tyrese had announced the group's demise in December, but didn't blame anyone in particular. All he said was the group would be moving on without Ginuwine -- which seemed like a hint, but now Tank's pointing the finger at Tyrese.
Watch what happened at LAX when we asked for a TGT update. For Tank, it's all about the Benjamins.
A rep for Tyrese says the group's money was never split equally because the economic fact is Tyrese has had more chart success on his own. The rep did not deny money was behind the breakup.
On a personal level ... the rep said Tyrese still considers Tank and Ginuwine his brothers, but "business is business."

Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin Cold Play Slow Play in Divorce
Gwyneth Paltrow needs to tell her estranged hubby to get off the dime, because we've learned he never responded to her divorce petition and the judge has taken notice.
Gwyneth filed for divorce April 20, 2015. Chris was served with legal docs on May 18th and the case has laid dormant since then. According to legal docs the Coldplay frontman never filed an answer to her divorce petition.
The judge has now notified Gwyneth and Chris, the actress may now be eligible to get a default judgment. Typically, that means she'd get what she asked for in her divorce petition. We broke the story, Gwyneth wants joint custody of their 2 kids. BTW ... she filed her petition without a lawyer.
But, as we reported, we're told business managers for Gwyneth and Chris have been privately hashing out a settlement, mostly involving their considerable assets. Based on what we know, it looks like Chris and his team simply never got around to filing an answer, which they'll probably do now.
Either way, if Chris doesn't snap to, he may wake up suddenly single.

Mike Tyson I Like Brad Pitt Even Though I Caught Him with My Ex
Mike Tyson says he thinks Brad Pitt is a "really nice guy" -- which is interesting considering he once caught the guy about to have sex with his estranged wife.
Iron Mike was on "The Real" when he was asked to recall that infamous moment back in the '80s when he caught his then (estranged) wife Robin Givens sneaking around their house with Pitt.
The whole thing is funny ... Tyson says he was actually at the house hoping to bang Givens one last time before they hashed it out with divorce lawyers when he saw Robin with Brad.
Mike says he doesn't think they actually banged -- though he thinks they were about to -- and says Pitt was goofy and stoney when he confronted the actor.
Now, almost 30 years later ... Tyson says he holds no grudges against Pitt -- and praises him as a nice guy.
Wonder how Brad feels about the whole thing.
By the way, the episode airs Feb. 29th (check local listings).
