Celebrity Divorce

It was over a year in the making -- but Buzz Aldrin's bitter divorce from wife #3 is finally official ... and she's making off like a bandit.

The divorce order was signed just three days after Christmas -- and according to the docs, Buzz' ex-wife Lois Driggs Cannon gets pretty much half his fortune ... including 50% of a $475,000 bank account, and 50% of the profits from his businesses, trademarks, and stocks.

FYI -- Buzz owns the trademark to the "Astronaut with Flag" design ... pretty cool.

Lois also gets to keep her 1988 Mercedes as separate property -- but the hilarious part ... her license plate reads "MOONGAL." So she'll probably wanna change that.

As for spousal support, Buzz has agreed to pay Lois $9,500 a month ... plus 30% of his annual income, estimated at more than $600,000. They have no kids.

Jeremy Shockey's marriage is just like his 2012 NFL career -- over -- 'cause he's filed for divorce after eight months of wedded bliss ... TMZ has learned.

The 32-year-old free agent -- who didn't play at all this season -- filed divorce docs late last year in Miami, claiming his marriage to Daniela Cortazar-Shockey was "irretrievably broken."

According to the docs, Jeremy and Daniela tied the knot waaay back in May 2012 ... but by October, he was already over it and they separated.

One bit of good news for Jeremy, in the docs he claims Daniela signed an airtight pre-nup that blocks her from getting a single cent -- no property, no support ... zilch.

Bethenny Frankel is taking her split from Jason Hoppy to the next level ... she's filed for divorce, TMZ has learned.

According to court records in New York, Frankel began the divorce process by filing a summons for divorce -- the first step in the divorce process -- earlier this week.

NBA legend Allen Iverson wants a new judge in his divorce case -- claiming the current judge unethically does legal favors for campaign contributors, and he's afraid she will screw him just like she did Usher's estranged wife.

Iverson filed a motion for the judge to recuse herself last month, claiming she has accepted campaign donations from his estranged wife's attorney -- and has a track record of making biased decisions for contributors.

As for the Usher connection -- the lawyer who repped the singer in his child custody showdown with Tameka Raymond is also repping Iverson's ex.

In his motion, Allen claims the judge's decision to strip Tameka of primary custody was biased, and he refuses to get the same treatment.

Mel Gibson's 94-year-old father Hutton is officially divorced from his wife -- TMZ has learned -- but don't worry, she'll be just fine ... because she's LOADED.

The divorce was finalized Wednesday -- and according to the court docs, 78-year-old Teddy Joye Hicks has over $640,000 in cash and savings as separate property. And... she gets to keep the Lincoln Town Car.

Teddy Joye's fortune dwarfs Hutton's, who takes away a paltry $22,595 -- but with a son like Mel who pays his dad's bills, Hutton's still got it made.

The former couple had $22,000 in community property -- which they'll split 50/50.

Oh yeah, they also get to keep their own social security benefits -- score!

Kelsey Grammer continued his real estate fire sale today -- putting his Beverly Hills mansion on the market for $7.25 million ... just 8 months after he and his wife Kayte moved into it.

Kelsey picked up the 6,000 sq. ft. pad for $6.5 million last April as a gift for Kayte and their daughter Faith -- but then his show "Boss" got axed, and Kelsey went into downsize mode.

In addition to this 6 bed, 7.5 bath home ... Kelsey's divorce settlement with Camille Grammer calls for the sale of their 10,000 sq. ft estate -- also in BH -- another home in Malibu ... and their mansion in Beaver Creek, CO.

Everything must go!!

Kelsey's hoping to turn a little profit on the BH home with the $7.25 mil asking price -- he bought it for $6.5. If the purchase price is a little high ... you can rent it for $30K a month instead.

They've been separated for more than a year, but that don't matter much in California, where the husband of a pregnant woman is PRESUMED to be the father.

Translation -- Kris Humphries has the edge going in as Kim Kardashian's baby daddy. If he were to lay claim to the kid, Kim and Kanye would have to present "clear and convincing evidence" to a judge that Kanye did the dirty.

Fact is ... it wouldn't be hard to prove, since Kris hasn't gone near Kim for a long, long time ... and it appears the baby was conceived while Kim and Kanye were in Rome 3 months ago.

Nonetheless, there is a rebuttable presumption in Kris' favor, and Kim of all people should know a thing or two about re-butts.

Kobe Bryant made an extremely rare appearance on the Sunset Strip for New Year's Eve -- and he did it with his sometimes estranged wife Vanessa Bryant.

Kobe and Vanessa -- both dressed to the nines -- sure looked like things are back on for 2013 as they walked out of BOA Steakhouse.

We asked the Black Mamba what he's doing to stay on top of his game -- and he answered, "lot of hard work."

Here's the thing -- was he talking about basketball ... or Vanessa?

Her year-old divorce petition is still filed, but our sources say it looks like they're working things out ... again ... for now.

Sarah Palin's son isn't the only Palin filing for divorce ... Sarah's sister-in-law has pulled the trigger on her marriage too, TMZ has learned.

Wendy Palin -- who's married to Todd Palin's brother James -- filed the papers in Alaska this summer, citing an "incompatibility of temperament" that makes it impossible to live together.

According to the docs, Wendy and James were married in 2000, separated in July 2012 ... and are currently living apart. They have one daughter who was born in 2002.

Wendy is seeking sole legal custody and primary physical custody of the child -- but James has already filed a response, demanding joint custody.

"Braxton Family Values" star Trina Braxton has some cold, hard thinking to do after her estranged husband cheated on her -- and she wants him to cough up some cold, hard cash while she does it.

Trina -- Toni Braxton's younger sis -- separated from her husband Gabriel Adrian-Solis back in October 2011 after eight years of marriage. Gabe has admitted to "infidelities" with numerous women, but has previously said he "never had sexual intercourse with another woman."

Trina recently filed for legal separation and in the docs, she's asking a judge to order Gabe to pony up an unspecified amount of money.

Interestingly, Trina says there is currently no plan for the couple to divorce and she'd actually like to work things out.

2013 is gonna be A LOT different than 2012 for one "Real Housewife of Orange County"... former star Lynne Curtin officially pulled the plug on her marriage of 22 years, TMZ has learned.

Lynn -- who appeared in seasons 4 & 5 of the Bravo series -- recently filed docs in OC Superior Court to divorce her husband Frank Curtin, citing "irreconcilable differences."

According to docs, the couple married in April 1990 and separated in January 2012. The duo has two children together ... neither are minors.

Lynne is asking for spousal support, but makes it clear in docs that she has no clue how much property she and her husband actually have.

Russell Simmons could teach Halle Berry a thing or two about breaking up. He's on such good terms with ex-wife Kimora Lee, he kicked it with her AND new GF Hana Nitsche Wednesday on the beach in St. Barths.

Simmons and Kimora Lee divorced in 2009 ... but they stayed unusually and refreshingly close post-split ... sometimes vacationing together with their respective SOs.

There's no question Russell can pull some impressive ass -- but we gotta ask ...

"CSI" creator Anthony Zuiker is officially divorced, even though he and his ex haven't settled their money issues. Thing is ... he needs the divorce STAT so he can get married again.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Zuiker fast-tracked the nasty divorce in order to marry Michelle Territo, the preschool teacher he's been dating for a year. We're told they may tie the knot next month.

We know Anthony, who's repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser, and ex-wife Jennifer have been in a battle royale over money, and there's a lot of it ... "CSI" has generated more than $6 BILLION.

There's only room for one sheriff in Neiman Marcus ... at a time ... at least for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.

TMZ shoppers spotted Arnold -- with his weird new haircut -- roaming the racks at Neiman's in Bev Hills on Xmas Eve.

Arnold meandered from the overpriced jewelry ... to the extremely overpriced menswear ... to the restaurant area ... and then he left.

Roughly 15 minutes later, guess who appeared? Maria mosied through the department store for some last minute shopping. .

January will be an interesting month for the former couple. Not yet divorced, they are still squabbling over money. So the question -- who will pay the enormous credit card bill?

Stay tuned ...

Former "Nip/Tuck" star Dylan Walsh is officially divorced from his ex-wife -- but guy shoulda signed a pre-nup ... because the split's gonna cost him half of pretty much everything, including his "Nip/Tuck" money.

The divorce decree was signed by a judge last week -- and according to the divorce docs, Walsh agreed to pay his actress ex-wife Joanna Going half of his royalties from "Nip/Tuck," a couple movies, an "SVU" episode, and more.

Meanwhile, Going agreed to pay him half of her royalties from work she did during their marriage -- including acting work on random shows like "CSI," and "Criminal Minds."

Since Walsh made out with more than Going, Walsh also agreed to ante up an extra $118,376 to even out the spoils.

As for their 9-year-old daughter -- Walsh and Going have agreed to split legal custody.

Walsh -- who makes $93,000 per episode on his new show "Unforgettable" -- has agreed to pay roughly $4,300 from each paycheck in child support. Oh yeah, he also has to pay a boat load of spousal support until 2015.

Walsh filed for divorce in 2010. They got married in 2004.

It's official ... "Spy Kids" actress Alexa Vega is a 24-year-old divorcee -- because her split from her much older ex-husband has been finalized ... just days before New Year's!!!

TMZ broke the story ... the actress filed for divorce from her 36-year-old ex back in July after two years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Vega and her producer ex Sean Covel were married in October 2010, back when Vega was just 21. They have no children.
