Celebrity Divorce

According to People.com, the couple filed divorce docs in Tennessee yesterday -- citing irreconcilable differences.

Billy and Tish -- who have 5 children together -- released a statement saying, "As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family. We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."

Story developing...

We've learned Christina's lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser, filed legal docs disqualifying the assigned judge from hearing the case.

L.A. County Superior Court Judge Elia Weinbach ... fairly new on the divorce circuit ... won't be hearing the case, but we're guessing it's nothing personal.

Wasser's firm has a pretty ironclad rule to handle high-profile divorces with private judges. Translation -- they're usually handled behind closed doors.

As TMZ first reported, Aguilera filed for divorce from Jordan Bratman last week after nearly five years of marriage. But despite the fact they've been separated since September 11, neither has moved out of their Bev Hills home.

Our sources say it's so uncomfortable for Christina, she's been staying in a hotel.

According to docs filed earlier this week, the two could not have been more amicable in their divorce. They've divided up their assets evenly, they're sharing custody of their children, and they'll split all costs related to raising their kids ... right down the middle.

But you can't split three kids up evenly when it comes to taxes. According to the papers, Jane gets to claim two of their children as dependents on her taxes -- Bradley gets the third -- until 2014. After that, Bradley gets the two kids in odd numbered years, Jane in even.

Ben Thomas -- Rosie's former bodyguard/husband from 1995 to 2002 -- claims earlier this year, Roseanne decided she wanted to move to Hawaii with their 15-year-old son. Ben gave Rosie the right to move with their kid, and in exchange Rosie agreed to fly Ben and his new wife to Hawaii every month for 10 days on Rosie's dime. The whole deal was reduced to writing.

Now, here's where it gets nasty ...

According to legal docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Barr canceled Ben's plane tickets just hours before his first flight ... then fired off an email to him saying, "I decided that I'm no longer interested in abiding by this ridiculous arrangement."

She continues, "You want to visit [our son]? Buy yourself a ticket, book a room ... See you in court."

Ben -- who claims his wealth "pales in comparison" to Roseanne's -- says he ultimately paid for his own 1st class tickets to Hawaii ... but to even out the cost, he "ate at inexpensive restaurants, rented a Dodge Charger, and filled up with gas at Costco."

According to documents filed in O.C. Superior Court -- and obtained by TMZ -- Vicki filed for dissolution of marriage on Monday from her husband Donn Gunvalson ... whom she married back in 1994.

And there's this ... Vicki and Donn actually renewed their vows back in July of 2009 -- after Vicki admitted their marriage was souring and they needed a "new start."

Sources who interact with Camille on the show's production tell TMZ ... she feels "very bitter and the bitterness has been growing" over Kelsey's sudden decision to pull the plug on their marriage.

We're told Camille feels sad about Kayte Walsh's miscarriage, but believes it's all part of the cosmos -- what goes around, comes around.

Aguilera cited "irreconcilable differences" in her divorce petition obtained by TMZ, which was filed today. It's an interesting twist, since sources tell us Christina is the one who cheated.

According to the divorce docs, there is a prenup. The divorce petition asks that "Earnings and accumulations of [Aguilera] before marriage, during marriage and from and after the date of separation" be considered separate property.

Aguilera, who is represented by disso-queen Laura Wasser, lists the date of separation as September 11, 2010.

The petition also seeks to terminate Bratman's ability to get spousal support.

Aguilera is seeking joint physical and legal custody of their child, Max, who is 2.

Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ the marriage fell apart after Aguilera allegedly cheated on Bratman. Aguilera's side refused comment.

Gilsig -- who plays Terri Schuester on the show, the ex-wife of glee club director Will Schuester -- has filed for divorce from movie producer Bobby Salomon, citing irreconcilable differences.

According to the divorce papers, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Jessalyn and Bobby -- who were each other's real-life high school prom dates -- intend to enter a private marital settlement "that will divide all community assets and obligations" ... including a custody arrangement for their 4-year-old daughter.

Jessalyn claims the two have been separated for almost a year. They would have hit their 5th wedding anniversary in January.

As we first reported, Ben claims he's been separated from Laura since January. Now we know the specific date -- Harper claims the date of separation is New Year's Day.

What's weird -- the couple has been living and traveling together all this year.

We're told the couple's nanny came to the door and told the process server she would accept the divorce papers Ben Harper filed late Friday afternoon ... but sources say the process server fired back that if Laura didn't come to the door he'd find her out in public and embarrass her.

A source connected with Ben claims the allegation that the process server issued such an ultimatum is "absolutely false."

The divorce -- a story TMZ broke Sunday -- shocked Laura, who didn't see it coming.

We're told Ben has not called Laura to discuss how to tell their two children about the sudden turn of events ... he just disappeared.

And, as we reported, although Ben claims he and Laura have been separated since January, the couple showed up together at Eddie Vedder's wedding late last month. And, sources connected with the couple tell us Laura and Ben have been intimate as recently as last week.

Back before the two power couples each called it quits -- the foursome spent a whole lotta time together throughout the years ... because Laura, Ben, Courteney and David were all best friends.

As TMZ first reported, Harper filed for divorce late Friday afternoon ... and a source close to the couple tells us Dern never saw it coming ... because they had been traveling together throughout the year and were even intimate as recently as last week.

Michael tells TMZ ... Dina was violent as Lindsay was growing up, and it left an impression. Michael claims when Lindsay was 4 years old, Dina was arguing with his mom and Dina allegedly smashed a phone across grandma's face, requiring six stitches.

And Michael says, on another occasion -- when Lindsay was a teenager -- Dina went nuts on Michael, flew over two beds to get to him and accidentally knocked herself out.

Michael adds it was Dina's idea to leave Lindsay in Hollywood at a very young age, even though LiLo had a stalker.

As we reported, some members of Lindsay's family tell us ... Lindsay believes her current predicament is the result of Michael's craziness.
