Celebrity Divorce

Country superstar Jason Aldean is pulling the trigger on his marriage ... filing for divorce from the woman he cheated on at a Hollywood bar just a few months ago.

Aldean filed papers in Tennessee on April 26 -- moving to end his 11 year marriage to high school sweetheart Jessica Ussery ... the mother of his 2 children. In the docs, Aldean blames the split on "irreconcilable differences."

FYI -- the 36-year-old singer filed the divorce papers on the same day he announced he and his wife had separated. At the time, Aldean's rep had said the couple was "having problems," but made no mention of the divorce,

The problems began for Aldean when he was pictured kissing Season 11 "American Idol" contestant Brittany Kerr on the Sunset Strip in September while he was in L.A. for a concert.

Aldean and Ussery initially tried to patch things up -- and they even walked a red carpet side-by-side back in November ... but clearly, that didn't work out.

With his wife in rehab and his marriage in crisis, Clint Eastwood was seen on the streets of New York yesterday ... not wearing his wedding ring.

As TMZ first reported, Dina Eastwood checked into rehab for help with depression and anxiety ... which we're told was fueled by trouble in her marriage to Clint.

Clint Eastwood's wife Dina entered rehab for depression and anxiety because she says her marriage is on the rocks ... and the possibility of divorce sent her over the edge.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ, Clint and Dina -- who've been married since 1996 -- have been having serious marital issues for months ... and things got so bad, Dina had divorce on her mind.

Our sources wouldn't specify the nature of the marital problems ... but we're told Clint still believes the marriage is salvageable.

Girl can't help it ... she has a right to speak her opinion ... so says the ex-mother-in-law of Journey guitarist Neal Schon, who's using the constitution to fire back at his defamation lawsuit.

Schon's been battling Judy Kozan in court since March -- claiming Judy's been trashing him online for years and falsely accused him of being a deadbeat dad. He sued for at least $75,000 is damages.

FYI -- Judy is the mother of Amber Schon, whom Neal divorced back in 2007.

In court docs filed earlier this month, Kozan claims anything she wrote online in her blog is protected under the First Amendment. Not only that, she claims she NEVER mentioned Schon by name, therefore she can't be held responsible for tarnishing his rep.

Judy is asking a judge to dismiss the suit ASAP.

L.A. Lakers star Steve Nash thinks he has a good reason NOT to pay child support -- if he does, he thinks his ex-wife will spoil the kids with limos and other luxuries.

Nash is locked in a legal war with Alejandra Nash over their 3 kids. She currently lives in Arizona, where a judge handled their divorce and ruled she was not entitled to child support. She's appealing the ruling and we now know what they're arguing over.

Steve convinced the divorce judge -- Alejandra doesn't need child support because he made her a millionaire 5 times over in the divorce settlement. On top of that, she pulls in more than $30k a month.

For her part, Alejandra says Steve makes a million bucks more than her every month, and it's unfair he's not forced to use some of it for the benefit of their kids.

Steve is saying he's paying plenty -- 90% of medical, school and extracurricular activities, and 82% of the nanny's $2k a month salary. He says he's worried if he pays more, she's an excessive spender who will spoil and damage the kids with crazy luxuries.

But there's more going on here. As we previously reported ... Alejandra wants to move to L.A. but Steve is objecting. It's really weird, because the b-baller has said he chose to go to the Lakers rather than the Knicks so he could be closer to his kids.

Jessica Simpson's parents are splitting the baby in their divorce ... going halfsies on Jessica's massive life insurance policy.

TMZ has obtained the legal docs outlining the terms of Joe and Tina Simpson's divorce -- and Jessica's life insurance policy is just the tip of the iceberg.

Joe and Tina have also agreed to split their interest in Jessica and Ashlee's management fees ... a huge number in itself.

As for the couple's remaining division of property ... here's the breakdown:

Joe gets half of their Sherman Oaks house, all his personal effects and bank accounts, the 2012 Mercedes SLS and 2011 Mercedes S63, and a bunch of stocks ... including Twitter. He also gets $237,285 in an escrow account from the sale of their other L.A. home.

Tina gets the house in Waco, TX, over ten bank accounts, a 2010 Range Rover Sport, 2011 Porsche 997 coupe, and other stuff.

Danica Patrick is officially SINGLE ... kinda ... 'cause a judge has finally signed off on her divorce from Paul Hospenthal ... freeing her up to marry her new NASCAR boyfriend (no pressure, pal).

A judge stamped the papers last week in Arizona, officially ending the marriage that began in 2005 -- the same year Patrick burst onto the scene as the fourth woman to compete in the Indy 500.

The 31-year-old Go Daddy babe announced the split from Hospenthal back in November. The couple had no children ... but they did have a prenup, according to court docs ... and she footed the bill for court costs.

In recent months, Patrick has been open about dating Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. ... one of her competitors on NASCAR's Sprint Cup series.

Wonder who gets to drive home from the track.

Jessica Simpson's parents are officially single and free to mingle ... their divorce is final ... TMZ has learned.

The judge's final touches end a 34-year marriage ... as for why the marriage fell apart -- the speculation continues.

Tina cited "discord or conflict of personalities" when she hit Joe with the papers in Texas last year. As TMZ reported ... Joe became angry after some media speculated he was gay ... and Joe fired back ... calling the reports "ridiculous."

No details yet on who got what ... we've reached out to the family rep -- so far no word back.

Sharon Osbourne says she's devastated by Ozzy's relapse ... she knew he was back on the booze, but not the pills ... but she wanted to make one thing clear ... they're NOT getting divorced.

Sharon opened up about walking out on Ozzy on "The Talk" today.

Sharon laid down a threat ... what she'll do if Ozzy screws up again.

As Sharon was spilling the beans, Ozzy blew into Brisbane, Australia -- he's touring Down Under -- sporting a bowler hat and a big, sober smile ...

Bethenny Frankel can definitely stomach a messy divorce.

While in the middle of a contentious breakup from her estranged husband Jason Hoppy, the 42-year-old former "Real Housewives of NYC" star showed off her fit rockin' bod in a blue bikini while vacationing in Miami with her daughter Bryn.

Skinnygirl for life.

Seems Chad Johnson has officially abandoned his plan to win back his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada ... 'cause last night the former NFL star threw a little trash-talk her way ... and it's all on tape.

A well-dressed Johnson was leaving Dan Tana's in West Hollywood Thursday ... when we asked if he still talks to the woman he was convicted of battering last year.

His response? A diss ... followed by another diss.

As for Johnson's career -- the unemployed wide receiver told us he still plans to get back in the NFL ... but says he's got a backup plan in case that falls through.

Kris Humphries might have walked away from his divorce from Kim Kardashian with squat ... but he still had enough green to go grocery shopping near his apartment in NYC this morning.

Kris Humphries -- who was once obsessed with proving to the world that Kim Kardashian was a love fraud -- now says he gave up his battle because of his love of BBall.

A rep for Kris tells TMZ, "Kris and his family are excited to move forward and are grateful for all the support they have received in this process."

The rep then sets the priorities straight: "His commitment to the Brooklyn Nets and the team's incredible fans is his number one priority and he is excited to head into the playoffs tomorrow with this situation behind him."

Kim Kardashian is officially a single woman ... because the judge dissolved her marriage to Kris Humphries in today's court hearing ... and we've learned Kris walked away with NOTHING.

Here's what sources connected with the case tell TMZ:

-- Kris gets NO money from Kim. As we've reported ... he had previously demanded $7 mil.

-- Kris dropped his demand for an annulment based on fraud.

-- Each party will pay their own attorney's fees.

This is not just a settlement. It's a WIN for Kim and her lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser.

The judge sent 2 different messages -- on the one hand saying the status of the marriage was dissolved, but then said it's over when they sign the official papers. But it seems like she's officially divorced, especially since the judge said to Kim, "Congratulations on your dissolution."

One final thing. The judge was about to slap Kris with a financial penalty for being a no-show at last week's hearing, but Kim asked the court to drop it, and Kris skated.

9:00 AM PT -- The judge just announced in court what we told you earlier today. The divorce case is settled. The terms have not been disclosed, but the big news for Humphries ... he won't have to pay any penalties for blowing off last week's settlement conference.

TMZ has learned Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian have settled their year-and-a-half long divorce battle, and it looks like it will be announced in court today ... this according to sources directly connected with Kris.

TMZ broke the story Thursday ... Kris had softened his position about demanding an annulment because his case had gone South -- in other words, there was no proof Kim committed fraud when she married him.

Our sources say Kris will not show up in court today. Sources connected with the bballer tell us ... he's with his team today, gearing up for the NBA playoffs. This is significant, because Kris was ordered to court -- a judge wants him there when he gets hit with fines for not showing up last week.

We're told Kim will show up.

As for the settlement, it's confidential so far, but you can bet this was a divorce and NOT an annulment.

To put this in perspective, the divorce battle raged on for 536 days. They were married for 72 days.

Kris Humphries has made Kim Kardashian's life miserable for the last year-and-a-half -- but Kim is actually excited to see him in court today ... and even says she still loves him.

Kim and Kris will face off in court for the first time since their split on Halloween weekend, 2011. They're in court for a settlement conference ... and as we reported it's possible they could strike an agreement before leaving the building.

Sources very close to Kim tell TMZ ... Kim is actually looking forward to seeing him. She's saying she does indeed still love him as a person, acknowledging, "We just didn't work as a couple."

We're told Kim has actually reached out to Kris numerous times, but he never responded.

Kim is saying they have "unfinished business" and need to talk things out so they can truly move on.

Who knows if it's possible? What we do know is that Kris has softened his position on demanding an annulment ... largely because he sees the handwriting on the wall -- that he's going to lose at trial. If he does, he'll almost certainly get socked with Kim's attorney's fees. The bill on both sides will approach $1 mil if they can't settle.

We'll be in court, so stay tuned.
