Celebrity Divorce

ATTENTION UNIVERSE: A HOT CHICK IS BACK ON THE MARKET!!! TMZ has learned "Kick-Ass" star Lyndsy Fonseca just dealt a death blow to her marriage -- filing for divorce from her husband.

26-year-old Fonseca -- who played Katie Deauxma in the movie -- filed the docs in L.A. County Superior Court against hubby Matthew Smiley, citing "irreconcilable differences."

They were married in April 2009 and split in July 2012. They have no minor children.

According to the docs, Lyndsy wants to block the court from awarding Matthew spousal support.

Now here's a video of Lyndsy eating an ice cream cone.

Kobe Bryant is NOT getting divorced.

TMZ broke the story ... Vanessa -- through her lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser -- filed to end her marriage in December, 2011. Several months later ... Kobe -- in an attempt to win her back -- deeded over his interest in their 3 Newport Beach mansions.

Since she filed, Vanessa and Kobe were on-again, off-again like high school students.

But in the last month ... they got very tight. A turning point seemed to be the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC, when the two left arm-in-arm. They spent New Year's Eve together, were spotted at lunch and have pretty much been inseparable.

There have been reports that Kobe is getting back with Vanessa because it's cheaper to keep her ... but that's just not true. Fact is ... we've checked property records and Vanessa still owns 2 of the Newport Beach mansions -- she just sold the third for $3.2 mil. We don't know for sure, but it seems like Kobe may have signed a post-nup, giving Vanessa more financial leverage in the relationship.

Jamie McCourt has filed a new lawsuit against her ex-hubby former L.A. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt ... claiming he grossly shortchanged her in the property settlement by fraudulently undervaluing their assets -- in particular the Dodgers.

In the lawsuit ... obtained by TMZ ... Jamie says based on the valuation of assets Frank's team provided ... she agreed to accept a $131 million settlement plus a few other things.

Jamie now says Frank cooked the books by undervaluing the Dodgers assets at less than 1/10 their actual value. Jamie says their total assets were more than $1.7 BILLION.

Jamie says based on the real numbers, she should have received more than $900 million.

Jon Gosselin became a free man in 2009 -- problem is, he allegedly snubbed the State of Pennsylvania in the process ... and now, the schlubby reality dad's been hit with a $39K tax lien.

If you recall, 2009 was the year Jon and Kate went splitsville ... scoring them both more publicity -- i.e. paid interviews and appearances -- than either could've imagined.

But according to docs filed in Berks County, Pennsylvania ... Jon still failed to dish out the necessary cash to the government that year ... resulting in the massive tax bill.

Let's hope he saved some of that sweet reality cash ... 'cause while the bill might've been a doable amount back then, it's gonna be a pain in 2013 ... considering Jon works a totally normal person job now.

If your New Year's resolution was to date a smokin' hot ski champ -- who's won Olympic and World Cup gold medals -- then you're in luck ... LINDSEY VONN IS OFFICIALLY SINGLE AGAIN!

TMZ has learned ... a judge has signed off on the 28-year-old's divorce from her former coach Thomas Vonn. The couple married in 2007 ... and have no children together.

It's unclear how the couple split up their assets -- but we know Lindsey gets to keep the Park City, Utah home she bought for $1.1 million back in 2006 (prior to tying the knot).

It was rumored that Lindsey had rebounded with Tim Tebow ... but the rumors were bogus.

We reached out to Vonn for comment -- so far, no word back.

It's time for Wes Scantlin to dust off that old eHarmony membership ... 'cause the "Puddle of Mudd" singer is officially back on the market, TMZ has learned.

According to legal docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court ... Wes and Jessica Scantlin's divorce has been finalized. The couple married in 2008. The singer pulled the plug on the nuptials in November 2011.

But the rocker's not totally out of the woods ... even though the judge entered a dissolution of marriage, there will be another hearing to determine spousal support and division of all the goodies.

As TMZ previously reported ... Jessica wanted the court to toss out the prenup -- in order to score a bigger settlement -- but later withdrew her request after she and Wes came to a financial agreement on their own ... which will likely come up in the hearing.

Bethenny Frankel means business, even in divorce. She wants Jason to pay child support and a lot more ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story ... Bethenny filed for divorce last week against Jason Hoppy. Now we've learned ... Bethenny -- who is reportedly worth between $25 million and $55 million -- has filed legal docs asking for the following from Jason:

--- Child support ... retroactive from the date she filed for divorce
-- Medical, dental, optical, therapeutic, and orthodontic expenses for HER and her child
-- Life insurance that makes both her and the kid beneficiaries

She also wants Jason -- who made lots of money in real estate -- out of their marital residence for good. Bethenny is asking for exclusive occupancy.

And there's more ... Bethenny wants primary physical custody of 2-year-old Bryn.

Bethenny also wants the judge to enforce their prenup dated March 23, 2010 ... signed 5 days before they got hitched.

A source connected with Bethenny tells TMZ ... "This is a preliminary step to move the process forward. She wants to work this out privately and amicably. All Bethenny cares about is that it works out the best way possible for Bryn."

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.
