Celebrity Divorce

All painful, dirty, drawn-out divorces must come to an end -- we're told Linda and Hulk Hogan's bitter split is finally about to be over.

Sources close to the case tell us they've begun negotiations and a settlement could be announced as early as next week.

After that, we'll never, ever, ever have to talk about Linda Hogan again.

Barry Bonds' wife has filed to dismiss her legal papers requesting a legal separation.

Liz Watson filed for separation June 5. Bonds and Watson were married in 1998. They have one daughter together.

In Hollywood, nothing -- even separation -- lasts forever.

There's a damn good reason Kelis is skipping out on today's scheduled court date to fight Nas for child support and baby and prenatal expenses -- she's giving birth right now!!!

TMZ has learned the singer is currently in labor, about to deliver a brand new baby boy.

We also know rapper Nas -- the baby daddy -- is definitely not by her side.

The two were scheduled to battle over expenses. She says he's paid nothing. Nas claims he's paid some.

But the big question -- will Nas actually have the stones to show up to court and argue against his baby mama while she's pushing out their child?!

UPDATE: Nas' lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, just told us Nas is in New York for the birth of the baby and he is now "rushing to the hospital to be with her."

Story delivering...

Don Cornelius has made it clear he does not want to die ... married.

The "Soul Train" king was so desperate to get a divorce from his ex-wife Viktoria, that he actually put the following lines in divorce papers he submitted to L.A. County Superior Court:

"I am 72 years old. I have significant health issues. I want to finalize this divorce before I die."

George Lazenby -- who once played James Bond -- is challenging his prenuptial agreement on grounds his wife is so rich he's become a joke to his kids.

Lazenby -- who played Bond in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" -- is asking a judge to void his prenup, then award him $16,133 in spousal support, according to divorce docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court.

The 69-year-old actor claims his estranged wife, 47-year-old former tennis pro Pamela Shriver, is "30 times a millionaire" and he doesn't want to explain to their three kids why mommy's house is so much bigger than daddy's.

Silence is golden.

Single white popwreck, freshly-rehabbed (allegedly) seeks mate who is not in a heavy-security prison -- that's the personal ad we're expecting from Amy Winehouse any day now.

A London judge granted the divorce between the queen of St. Lucia and Blake Fielder-Civil -- it becomes final in just over six weeks if no disputes arise.

Nas has fired back in his bitter divorce case with Kelis claiming he's paid her more than she says and he makes less than she thinks.

For starters, Kelis claims Nas raked in $11 million for his album deal. Nas fired back in legal papers, "I did not receive even half that amount"... claiming it's more like $4 mil. Nas claims his income is declining, and he's only pulling in $147,165 a month.

As for what he spends ... $71,371.96 a month, which includes $10,000 a month in clothing/hair/toiletries/personal effects.

Kelis, who is about to give birth to their child, claims Nas hasn't paid a penny for child or spousal support since he left her. Nas, who says he wants to be "fully involved" in the parenting of their child, claims he's agreed to pay $350 for a stroller, $450 for a baby sling and $1,598 for two cribs.

Nas thinks $5,000 a month is reasonable for child support since the kid will just be a newborn.

Debbie Matenopoulos and Jay Faires' divorce is never gonna end -- and it's all over their $4.3 million house.

In papers filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Jay is begging the court for permission to sell their L.A. home because he can't keep up with the mortgage payments, property taxes and other expenses.

Arquette filed for divorce back in January, citing irreconcilable differences -- apparently they were, in fact, reconcilable. She filed legal docs today asking that the divorce petition be dismissed.

And Patricia's change of heart is a good thing for Thomas: Arquette was repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser -- which means he would have been on food stamps by the time she was done with him.

We've just learned David Alan Grier's wife has filed for divorce.

According to the docs, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Christine Kim cited irreconcilable differences. The two were married in July of '07 -- they have a 1-year-old daughter together.

If you remember back to December of '07, we got David busting out of a club while Christine was at home, 7 months pregnant. Not that his divorce has anything to do with that ... we're just saying.

Eddie Furlong's wife just filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

Jane Kaczmarek is making a power grab for her three kids -- this according to divorce papers she filed against her husband of 16 years, actor Bradley Whitford.

In Jane's response to Bradley's filing, she checked the little box saying she wants full physical custody of the kiddies.

Let the games begin.

ABC televison was shot down in court today by the estranged hubby of Kate Walsh.

The judge ruled Alex Young can make ABC Prez Stephen McPherson sit for a deposition, and answer all sorts of questions about Walsh's financial prospects at ABC -- pilots, development deals, etc.

Walsh and Young were only together as husband and wife for 14 months, but it's turning into one of the most bitter divorces in Hollywood.

ABC claims Young is harassing her and ABC and the motive is $$$.

And here's the best quote from the ABC lawyer: "It's as if Manny Ramirez was getting divorced and the first deposition they want to take is the president of ESPN."

The fact that Steve McNair's home was on the market while he was having an affair has caused speculation that he was getting a divorce ... but we just found out he and his wife were actually looking to buy another home.

We spoke to McNair's realtor, who said Steve and Mechelle were selling their massive Nashville home to buy another one "near a lake."

We're told the Nashville home was set to be sold for $2.9 million, and that Mechelle told the realtor yesterday that she wanted the sale to go ahead as planned.

McNair was found shot to death on Saturday along with Sahel Kazemi -- the woman police say he had been "dating."
