Celebrity Divorce

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have separated ... in the hoity-toitiest of ways.

Gwyneth just announced the split on her website Goop, titling it, "Conscious Uncoupling." She says "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate."

Gwyneth says, "We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separate, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate."

That sounds more like divorce than separation.

It's interesting ... in March, 2013, TMZ broke a story Chris made an offer on a Brentwood home. His people told us it was for him and his band mates, but Gwyneth got involved and killed the deal, claiming there was mold.

And this is curious ... at the end of last month, they bought a $14 million Malibu estate designed by one of the most famous architects in California history -- John Lautner. Look at the gallery. It's a pretty masculine house, which suggests this is where Chris will live.

Gwyneth says she and Chris will now set off to "uncouple and co-parent."

And that's the goop.

Johnny Weir claims his estranged husband, Victor Weir-Voronov beat his tiny pooch ... this according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Johnny claims Victor is lying when he says Tema, a Japanese chin, was the family dog. Johnny says it was his -- that he got Tema from a pet store, that Tema slept on his side of the bed, that Tema waited by the bathroom door when Johnny took a shower, that Tema followed Johnny all over the house.

Johnny thinks it's ironic that Victor is fighting for the dog, because he claims Victor is volatile and has seen him "strike the dog with force on occasion when we were married."

Johnny also says early this month when he went to pick up some items ... Tema was in a bag on the bed with Victor. Johnny claims Tema was crying and trying to claw his way out of the bag.

And Johnny has a lot more to say. In the docs he scoffs at Victor's claim he's worth $10 Mil, denying he signed a 7-figure deal with NBC. Johnny says, "If I had 10 million dollars I would not be living in a rented apartment in Lyndhurst and driving a leased Lexus SUV.

Johnny alleges a story TMZ broke earlier ... that Victor tried to extort him for $25K in return for not going public about the marriage.

Johnny says Victor ransacked their apartment and has stolen a number of precious items, including a Faberge egg, a Louis Vuitton trunk, jewelry and an Hermes ashtray.

And there's this revelation ... Johnny wears boxers. He says the only clothing that remained in the closet were some PJs, boxers and T-shirts.

Johnny Weir's estranged husband wants the Olympic figure skater thrown in jail -- for allegedly sending him email threats in the wake of their split ... and violating a restraining order in the process.

Victor Voronov filed the police report Monday with Lyndhurst PD in Jersey, claiming Weir had sent him a cryptic email ... strongly insinuating he planned to go public with allegations that Voronov had threatened his life.

Voronov not only claims Weir's allegations are false -- he told police the email was a violation of the restraining order he obtained against Weir last week, which prohibits Weir from contacting him in any way.

Johnny Weir's divorce was already nasty and contentious -- but throw a cute little dog into the mix, and things just get seriously sad.

Oooh ... and shoes. Lots and lots of shoes.

Johnny Weir's estranged husband just filed legal docs, accusing the Olympian of repeatedly cheating on him and treating him like a lap dog.

According to Victor Weir-Voronov's legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Johnny allegedly committed multiple acts of adultery, including having sex with a Chicago club owner and sexting with a porn star.

Victor says throughout the marriage Johnny was cruel to him ... forbidding him from bringing Victor's dog into the marriage for fear it would take his attention away from Johnny.

Victor also claims prior to meeting Johnny he was living his life as a heterosexual man and was struggling with his identity, yet he says Johnny forced him to come out of the closet.

Victor claims Johnny married him because he wanted to do a new reality show and felt a Georgetown-educated lawyer would be a compelling story line. Yet Victor says Johnny treated him like an errand boy.

As for the housekeeping stuff ... Victor is asking a judge to force Johnny to return some of the items the skater took from their apartment, including

-- Crocodile Celine bag
-- 40 Balencia bags
-- 20 furs (including a $125K sable)
-- Green Hermes shoulder Birkin
-- Orange Hermes 35cm Birkin
-- 12 Chanel bags

And Victor wants an order forcing Johnny to return Tema, their Japanese Chin dog.

He also wants temporary support and legal fees.

A source connected with Weir tells TMZ ... the property Victor wants back was Johnny's before the marriage ... which the source says "couldn't be more obvious from the fact that they are purses and women's furs."

The source says Weir "categorically denies" the adultery allegations.

Johnny Weir says his messy divorce from Victor Voronov is a private matter ... at least it's private AFTER Johnny gave an exclusive tell-all interview to a TV show.

Our photog spotted Weir on the streets of New York City this morning ... where we wished him well on his upcoming appearance on "Celebrity Apprentice." But when we brought up his recent "drama on the homefront" ... Weir clammed up, claiming, "It's private."

Was it private last week when he spilled the beans to "Access Hollywood" and accused Victor of multiple instances of domestic abuse?

It's the most unlikely truce in history -- Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz' ex-wife Mashonda ... the same woman who once publicly accused Alicia of breaking apart her marriage.

The photos were taken this weekend in St. Barts -- showing Swizz, Alicia, and Mashonda all vacationing together with their children (Swizz fathered kids with both women).

It's wild -- nearly 5 years ago, Mashonda wrote a nasty open letter to Alicia in the wake of her divorce from Swizz, blaming Alicia for taking part in the affair that destroyed her marriage and family.

From the letter, you'd think Mashonda and Alicia would be enemies for life -- but the photos tell a much different story.

Swizz Beatz -- the new Simon Cowell.

Paula Patton is NOT reconciling with Robin Thicke ... at least not yet, and she may never get back with him.

Sources close to Paula tell TMZ ... Robin has not been convincing enough for her to bring him back into her life. We're told Paula is saying the same thing she's said since she threw in the towel late last month -- that he needs to prove he can be a good husband.

Robin has begged for forgiveness in concerts, on TMZ, and privately, but we're told she's spending a lot of time thinking but she has absolutely not decided to give the marriage another try.

On the other hand ... we're told she still has not met with a divorce lawyer and has made no decision to file legal docs.

Short story ... the jury is still out, and Robin needs a real good closing argument.

The divorce between Johnny Weir and his husband Victor Weir-Voronov is being fought in the courts and the media, with both sides aggressively waging war on both fronts, and Victor's people say this note proves he was blindsided by the Olympian.

Johnny has claimed Victor is lying when he says Johnny cruelly hid the fact that he had filed for divorce until last Tuesday ... even though divorce docs were filed February 12.

Victor's people say this note -- which they say was written just before Johnny left for the Oscars -- is proof the real liar is Johnny.

It is interesting ... Johnny was wearing his wedding ring at the Oscars ... which was held March 2.

Our opinion -- these guys went back and forth like ......... (we couldn't think of something good, so fill in the blank).

Johnny Weir's Birkin collection pales in comparison to his shoe stash ... we've learned Johnny has 1,300 pairs of shoes that are now under the watchful eye of cops.

TMZ broke the story ... Johnny got a court order Friday to enter the home he shared with soon-to-be ex-hubby Victor. Johnny was allowed in for 30 minutes to collect his belongings, with 6 cops standing by to make sure there was no confrontation.

We're told there wasn't enough time or a truck to handle the massive shoe collection, so Johnny left them behind ... for now. He did, however, take a few prized possessions, including his Louboutins and his Alexander McQueen high-heeled shoes.

As we reported ... Johnny left with Hermes scarves, furniture, 2 TVs and jewelry. He also took the family dog, which left Victor in tears.

An insane scene played out today in Johnny Weir's divorce case ... ending with Johnny taking the family dog out of their apartment ... as his sobbing husband Victor helplessly watched.

TMZ broke the story ... Johnny has filed for divorce and it's turned vicious.

Sources connected to the case tell TMZ ... both Johnny and Victor rushed to court Friday. Victor got a restraining order against Johnny, claiming the Olympian attacked him March 5 by hitting him in the arm and throwing jewelry and a wooden Russian doll at him.

Johnny got an order giving him the right to go into their New Jersey apartment for 30 minutes and collect his belongings with the help of cops, without any interference from Victor.

We're told Johnny showed up to the apartment with 6 cops and Victor's cousin while Victor was still in court. Johnny took a number of his belongings, including 2 TV sets, Hermes scarves, various costumes and most importantly ... Tema, a Japanese Chin which he and Victor got during the marriage.

We're told Victor rushed to the apartment while Johnny was still there and stood by helplessly as cops let Johnny take the dog. Victor was on the phone with his crisis manager, Wendy Feldman ... sobbing uncontrollably.

David Guetta and his wife Cathy have pulled the plug on their 24-year marriage.

The pair met in 1990 and were married that same year. They have two kids, ages 10 and 6.

According to a French magazine, the divorce was finalized in a Paris court, but neither David nor Cathy were present for the hearing.

What's particularly surprising about the split ... Cathy and David just renewed their vows in Ibiza in 2012.

Johnny Weir went full vampire on his husband Victor Voronov during a nuclear domestic dispute early this year -- nearly biting a chunk out of the guy's arm -- or so Victor claims ... and now, TMZ has obtained a photo of the damage.

Details surrounding the argument are unclear, but the bite mark is gnarly.

Victor filed a police report and Johnny was charged with simple assault back in January. Victor decided not to press the case and charges were dropped.

As we reported, Johnny and Victor had multiple issues leading up to Johnny filing for divorce last month.

Johnny Weir made it clear to hubby Victor Voronov -- him straying on Victor was inexcusable, but so was Victor vengefully defacing Johnny's Birkin handbags.

Johnny sent a remorseful email to Victor on Sept. 29, 2013 -- obtained by TMZ -- in which Johnny did a full-blown mea culpa for his misdeeds, but went on to scold Victor for destroying his precious purses.

Johnny writes, "If you decide to wreck things, please wreck cheaper things than Birkins." He goes on ..."The f*** you on the Birkin is kinda cool, though, you artist. I know you don't care about how I'll survive if you divorce me, but please leave my Birkin bags, Celine bags and Chanel bags alone."

It appears Johnny may be a little cash-strapped, because he says "I'm planning them as part of my eBay sale."

Johnny is incredibly remorseful in the email, expressing "eternal" love from "the depths of my broken heart."

So now it's clear ... Victor wasn't Johnny's only beloved accessory.

Johnny Weir has been gracious about his divorce from husband Victor Simon Weir-Voronov ... but TMZ Sports has learned the breakup is not just bitter ... it's vicious, with allegations of a shakedown.

Sources connected with Johnny tell TMZ Sports ... on Wednesday Victor's people called Johnny's lawyer and said a media outlet had contacted them offering money for an interview. Johnny's people say Victor's lawyer said his client would turn down the interview IF Johnny paid him $25,000 for lawyers fees, plus support.

Victor's people admit they did mention the interview and asked for support ... but the 2 were not connected.

And there's more. Victor claims Johnny blindsided him ... that he found out only Tuesday Johnny filed for divorce. But sources connected with Johnny say Victor is lying.

We know Victor is already on his second divorce lawyer. Johnny's people say that doesn't sound like a guy who just found out.

Teri Reeves was killed off in season one of the NBC show "Chicago Fire" and TMZ has learned her marriage is now DOA as well.

According to divorce docs obtained by TMZ, Reeves and hubby Jonathan separated back in September after eight years of marriage. Teri was the one who finally pulled the plug and filed for divorce.

Reeves is asking the court to deny her estranged husband the right to file for support. The couple has no children and no community property to divvy up.
