Balthazar's Wife -- File Your Own Damn Divorce
Sources tell TMZ Balthazar Getty's wife won't be the one filing for divorce.
We're told Rosetta Millington will not pull the trigger on the marriage and the reasons are, to say the least, interesting. Rosetta is not exactly rolling in cash, nor is Balthazar for that matter. The philandering Getty is getting zilch from the family fortune. He is, however, pulling in a fair amount of money from "Brothers and Sisters."
We're told Rosetta doesn't want to declare the marriage over, which would allow him to separate future earnings from her. She's the one raising their four kids and she feels she's more financially secure if she doesn't file for divorce.
And there's one more big thing. We're told the Getty family is so appalled at Balthazar's affair with Sienna Miller, they are supporting her -- in more ways than one. So why rock the boat?
Star Bypasses Big D Fight
Star Jones just dropped a big one.
She and Al Reynolds were supposed to be in court yesterday for the start of their big divorce -- except it didn't happen because they're settling out of court. Her rep says the pair -- who got married in the subsidized wedding of the century -- have reached an "amicable settlement" and are "moving on."
Especially now that Star's got her new meal ticket -- a chef.

The Duff's Dad Sent to the Slammer
Hilary Duff's dad will be spending up to ten days in jail -- all because of a fight over cash for Hilary's birthday party.
According to Houston Chronicle, mama Duff dragged her ex into court today -- and this is no joke -- to ask for $25,000 to throw a party for Hilary's 21st birthday -- because that's what they spent on Haylie's 21st bday two years ago.
After the judge told Bob he had to shell out $12,500 for the bash -- he decided to sentence Bob to 10 days in jail for contempt of court for selling assets without court approval to the tune of $367,537.
When Bob was cuffed, mama Duff supposedly mumbled "This isn't what I wanted." Apparently all she wanted was a whole lot of money -- something her kids have already made themselves.

Take That, Bitch!
Looks like the Donnie Wahlberg divorce is nastier than we first thought.
We broke the story a few hours ago that Wahlberg's wife, Kim Fey, filed for divorce last Wednesday. Right after the story went up, Donnie's rep contacted us and said Donnie actually filed the divorce papers, not Kim.
So here's where it gets good. We did more digging and we're right ... she filed for divorce in L.A. County Superior Court. The clerk stamped the papers at 1:29 PT. And then we found that Donnie filed his own divorce papers in Ventura County Superior Court the same day, at 3:46 PT.
So is this race to the courthouse a sign that each wants to make the point they're leaving the other? We're thinkin' so.

Dixie Chick Given the Cowboy Boot by Hubby
Looks like Emily Robison of the Dixie Chicks will be attending the local honky-tonk alone from now on.
Charlie Robison's divorce from Emily was finalized yesterday, because the marriage had "become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities." But just because they don't get along doesn't mean the divorce will get nasty! The two will be joint managing conservators of their three children -- meaning they'll split duties right down the middle -- and they'll dice up their estates just the same.
Charlie filed in January, totally under the radar. The two were married in 1999.

Charlie to Dr. -- I'll Nickel You to Death!
Sources tell us Charlie Sheen has buried a Bev Hills doctor in small change, and Charlie's people think they know who dropped the dime.
Dr. Peter Waldstein, a Bev Hills pediatrician, has treated Charlie and Denise's two kids in the past. Charlie was pissed that the doc was immunizing the kiddies, because he doesn't believe in it. Charlie sent Waldstein a letter, demanding that he no longer treat the kids, but the Dr. fired his own letter back saying he would treat them if they needed medical attention, no matter what.
So, there was this outstanding $380 bill that Charlie paid by messenger today. It was a big box filled with $380, all in nickels. By our calculations that's 7,600 nickels.
We're told the Dr. is donating the loot to the March of Dimes.
Charlie's rep, Stan Rosenfield, said, "Dr. Waldstein should spend more time treating his patients than leaking stories to TMZ." Rosenfield adds, "Maybe Dr. Waldstein would like to be featured in John McCain's next television commercial [famous for being famous]."
For the record, we're not saying who gave us the story.

A-Rod Throws It High and Tight at C-Rod
A-Rod is swinging back against C-Rod in their divorce case, and here's the pitch: You'll eat that prenup and like it.
Alex Rodriguez filed his response to wife Cynthia's divorce filing, and while he slams any suggestion of infidelity as "immaterial and impertinent," he doesn't deny that they were true. What's more, he says that he's going to hold Cyn to their prenup, the terms of which aren't precisely known, but are said to be in A-Rod's favor.
Meanwhile, he does admit that Cynthia is a "loving and nurturing mother" and will agree to help pay support for their two kids.
One other lil' tidbit: A-Rod clearly thinks he and the Yankees are going to the playoffs, saying that he''s required to "travel extensively ... more often than not through the baseball playoffs in October."
We've called Cynthia's people -- so far, nothing.

Nick Carter's Mom Contemptable, Busted
Nick Carter's mama was arrested this morning, allegedly over a really nasty divorce hearing.
Here's how it went down. Jane Carter, aka Jane Holcomb, aka Jane Schnek, was divorced from a guy named John Holcomb. There are still some legal odds and ends to deal with, including an allegation that she trashed the house they once shared.
John filed legal papers forcing Jane into court, but she didn't appear. So the Florida judge wants her butt in jail for not appearing and he's ordered a bench warrant. She was picked up today in Sumter County at a cemetery where the construction company she works for was doing a project. Perfect.
It ain't Donna Reed, folks.
Jasmine Guy: D is for Divorce, Not Dwaaaayne!
The hubby of "A Different World's" favorite southern belle has filed his response to her divorce filing. Paging Kadeem Hardison!
Jasmine Guy's soon-to-be ex Terrence Duckett filed the documents last Friday in L.A. County Superior Court in response to his estranged wife's original filing. These simple docs are a far cry from Whitley's first try at divorce. In those papers, filed in April, Guy listed two pages of things as her "separate property," including her wedding ring, paintings, sculptures, her BlackBerry, DVD players, pots, pans, and a toaster. Where's the kitchen sink? No word on why Duckett refiled the papers.
Duckett is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their nine-year-old daughter Imani.

A-Rod's Game -- One at Home, Two on Deck
Alex Rodriguez' bat got plenty of work -- even during the off-season.
As early at December 2006, A-rod was spotted entering a posh Coconut Grove hotel in Fla. with two women who have since been dragged into the ballplayer's divorce circus.
Joslyn Morse -- the stripper A-Rod was busted with a few months ago -- and fitness model Alicia Marie shared a hotel suite in Florida where A-Rod visited their room until the early morning hours, according to the NY Post.
Marie has denied a romantic affair, but when asked by the Post about a late-night slumber party with the bomber and Joslyn, she said, "I really can't comment on that."

C-Rod to A-Rod: So, Did You Wiretap Me?
Cynthia Rodriguez wants to know everything about A-Rod's finances, and also if he's into wiretapping and putting private detectives on her.
In court documents filed in Miami last week, C-Rod is demanding Alex produce documents about all things financial -- tax returns, banking info, loan applications, stock info, wills and life insurance.
Now here's the juicy part. Cynthia wants "Any reports you have received from a detective, investigator or any other person based upon surveillance of your spouse." And, she wants "all tape recordings and other evidence prepared from tape recordings made in connection with any wiretapping or other electronic surveillance conducted by you or others on your behalf."
She also wants "all electronic evidence ... contained in all computers to which you have access" over the last three years. The demand includes iPhones, Sidekicks and BlackBerries.
