Celebrity Divorce

Bach and wife Maria Bierk, who were married in 1992, have been separated since April ... according to Sebastian. He says, "We have tried to work things out for the sake of our family but it has become apparent that our differences at this point are irreconcilable."

John and his wife, Elaine Mellencamp, a model, have split, although his rep isn't saying if they've filed divorce papers yet.

The couple says they "are proud of their 20 years together and are very happy with their accomplishments both as parents and as a family."

John and Elaine will continue to raise their two kids in Indiana.

Emmy secretly married Justin Siegel in February, 2008. Under the terms of the final divorce setttlement, obtained by TMZ, Emmy gets to keep the house, her jewelry and other personal stuff. Justin gets to keep an $11,200 security deposit, along with a Mercedes, jewelry and other stuff.

To equalize things, Emmy also agrees to pay Justin $57,500.

Although Justin asked for spousal support when he filed for divorce, he's not getting any.

According to the divorce judgment, filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, no spousal support will be awarded to either party.

As for their community property -- it's split pretty evenly between the two ...

As TMZ first reported, the couple never signed a prenup, which means all earnings during the marriage are divided 50/50.

We're told during their 13 years of marriage, the couple amassed a fortune in excess of $100,000,000. Much of it was invested in real estate. They have homes in the Holmby Hills area of L.A., Malibu, Hawaii, the Hamptons, New York City and Colorado.

Our sources say when they married Kelsey was strapped for cash, but turns out Camille is savvy in the business department and taught Kelsey a thing or two along the way. One person familiar with their finances says, "They made a lot of smart decisions. They were really a good team."

Sources say the couple is working out a financial settlement, made complicated by the fact that some of the properties -- like Hawaii -- are in the toilet because of the economy.

Kelsey is asking the divorce judge to grant the divorce decree asap, and leave all of the money issues for later. In legalese, it's called "bifurcation."

Under California law, a divorce can become final 6 months after a petition is filed. Camille filed on July 1, 2010 ... so if the judge grants Kelsey's request for bifurcation, he can marry Kayte Walsh Saturday, January 1. Kelsey and Kayte have been engaged for several months.

There were reports Kelsey was trying to keep Camille from grabbing his pension benefits -- but in fact the pension papers are merely a formality which is required when someone files to bifurcate.

UPDATE: A friend of Camille's tells TMZ, Camille "is not surprised but continues to be disappointed at Kelsey's immature and disrespectful behavior."

Scarlett's response to Ryan's petition was filed at the same time -- a strong indication the two of them coordinated the court filings.

Neither party is asking for spousal support. Sources tell TMZ there is no prenup, and Ryan made more money than Scarlett during their 2-year marriage.

Ryan lists the date of separation as December 14, 2010. Scarlett agrees on the date.

Since everything they earned is community property, presumably it will be divided 50/50, though the petitions say property rights are yet to be determined.

In documents filed in L.A. County Superior Court -- and obtained by TMZ -- Donovan cited irreconcilable differences. According to the docs, the two had separated back in 2009.

Here's the shocking part -- according to the docs, Donovan is seeking spousal support from Bianca ... and he also wants her to pay for his attorney's fees.

FYI -- Bianca is an actress on the show, "Rules of Engagement."

The couple married back in 2006 -- they have no kids together.

Landon famously blew a kiss to Bianca after he scored the heroic game winning goal in the 2010 World Cup match against Algeria.

UPDATE: We just got a joint statement from Landon and Bianca: "We remain the closest of friends and will always be important parts of each other's lives."

According to the document, the date of separation is listed as August 9, 2010.

Carpenter cites "irreconcilable differences" in the petition filed in L.A. County Superior Court.

Carpenter is also asking for spousal support and for attorney's fees.

The couple, who married in 2008, have no children.

Julia Stiles -- who guest starred on "Dexter" this season and is rumored to have gotten "close" to Hall -- just issued a statement saying they're just "good friends" and she's not the cause of the breakup.

Julia gave this statement to TMZ: "I have absolutely nothing to do with the split between Michael and Jennifer."

Julia goes on: "We are good friends and enjoyed working together. This is a personal matter between them, and we should respect their privacy."

The same day TMZ broke the news Scarlett and Ryan Reynolds were divorcing -- she was spotted in Jamaica on Tuesday holding a copy of Vanity Fair with Johnny Depp on the cover.

Walsh filed for divorce on Friday from his wife of six years, Joanna Going.

Walsh cited irreconcilable differences and asked for joint legal and physical custody of the couple's 7-year-old daughter.

Walsh checked the box on his divorce papers indicating he will be paying spousal support.

We're told Ryan and Scarlett are living apart. And we're told it's amicable.

Ryan and Scarlett released a statement through their rep, telling TMZ, "After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage. We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."

Ryan told GQ in September, Scarlett was "the best part" of his life, though he said having a family was "a few years down the road."

Ryan was named PEOPLE magazine's Sexiest Man Alive last month.

Interesting -- the couple was rarely seen out together. The most visible appearance -- at the Tony Awards this past June.

The couple was married in September, 2008.

UPDATE: Ryan Reynolds filed for divorce from Scarlett.

Sources tell TMZ Jennifer will file divorce papers this week, possibly tomorrow.

Hall and Carpenter have been separated for "some time."

The split was first reported by "Access Hollywood."

Darius claims it's all part of a divorce gone wrong ... adding, it's clear his ex -- famous video vixen Karrine Steffans -- "didn't take the finality of the divorce well and has resorted to her old tricks of public defamation."

Darius tells us, he wants everyone to know that "in no way does he condone anyone resorting to violence against another human being to solve a problem."

As we first reported, Karrine has filed for a permanent restraining order against Darius -- who divorced her earlier this year -- claiming he choked her out several times ... and even beat her with a belt in front of her 12-year-old son.

The woman behind the accusations is famed video vixen Karrine Steffans -- who filed legal papers in L.A. ... describing two separate violent encounters with 34-year-old Darius McCrary.

According to the docs, Karrine claims McCrary "choked me from behind and beat me with a belt" during an argument in February ... an attack allegedly witnessed by her 12-year-old son.

Karrine claims McCrary struck again in November -- choking her and shoving her into a car in front of a large crowd of people at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in L.A.

Now Karrine is asking the judge to make the restraining order more permanent -- she's scheduled to appear in court next week.
