Christina Aguilera to Divorce Judge: No Thanks
Christina Aguilera filed for divorce a little more than a week ago, but already there's a little conflict.
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.

Whitford and Kaczmarek -- Divvying Up the Goodies
Bradley Whitford and Jane Kaczmarek finalized their divorce earlier this week -- and the two split everything as evenly as possible ... except when it came to the children. But we're not talking custody, we're talking taxes.
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.
As they old saying goes, nothing is certain but divorce death and taxes.

Roseanne's Ex: She Made Me Pay for Costco!
Roseanne Barr makes $300,000 per month ... and she won't even honor her promise to fly her ex-hubby to Hawaii to visit their kid ... this according to new court documents obtained by TMZ.
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."
Dude now wants a judge to force Roseanne to honor the deal and reimburse him for the trip -- including the Costco run.
