Celebrity Divorce

Attention all black men ... Lisa Lampanelli is back on the market.

The comedian is filing for divorce today in New York from her husband of nearly four years, Jimmy "Big Balls" Cannizzaro. Lisa's rep, Yvette Shearer, tells TMZ they remain incredibly good friends ... but "weren't a match as man and wife."

Lisa tells TMZ, "We still call each other first when something great or horrible happens in our lives, and we expect that to continue."

Raphael Brown is UNLOADING on his estranged wife ... calling her a violent, manipulative stripper -- a monster who's engaged in a vicious campaign to smear him ... according to court docs.

Brown filed a CRAZY 250 page document in response to accusations made by Juliette Gil-Brown ... who claims the former Next singer beat her on multiple occasions, even when she was pregnant.

In the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- he argues his wife has gone off the deep end ... flying into a jealous rage after she saw pics of him on vacation with his girlfriend.

He claims:

-Juliette's own mother told him "the devil had taken over [Juliette's] soul" adding, "she's crazy."

-His wife changed her Facebook status to "widowed" after threatening to slit his throat.

-His wife verbally attacked a female fan on Facebook, telling her to "stay the f*** off my husband's page" ... even though the fan is a cancer patient who enjoys his music.

-Juliette (who's not Black) goes on racist rants on social media, calling him "a dirty n****r" and saying he's "the reason n****rs" are dying of AIDS."

Brown goes on and on ... denying he's ever been abusive to his children, noting he even got temporary custody of his then 7-month old son when Juliette was in jail. He also denies looking at porn around the kids, calling the accusation ironic since she's a stripper.

If Orlando Bloom and Selena Gomez were upset when their wife and boyfriend respectively got all snuggly with each other ... they seem to have had the last laugh.

Orlando and Selena were chilling outside of the Chelsea Handler concert Saturday in L.A. ... but when a photog started snapping pics, Bloom quickly bounced.

It's interesting ... Justin Bieber and Bloom's ex-wife Miranda Kerr got VERY close during and after a 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show ... a number of stories suggested VERY close.

"Game of Thrones" director Alex Graves -- who directed the famous show 2 weeks ago where Joffrey was poisoned at his own wedding -- is getting divorced ... TMZ has learned.

Graves filed legal docs citing irreconcilable differences in his marriage to Sarah Graves. They were married in 1995 and have 2 kids, a son 15 and a daughter 11.

Alex is asking for joint physical and legal custody. He also wants to split attorney's fees with his wife.

Romeo’s dad Master P is in the middle of a nasty divorce -- and now Romeo's siding with his old man ... by ripping mom, Sonya Miller's parenting.

How should Sonya respond? Extreme violence has been suggested by at least one mother -- though we don't endorse or recommend it.

Romeo has some divorce advice for his mom -- if you want $67 million ... you need to earn it, and it starts with being a good mother.

Romeo opened up last night about his mom and dad ... Sonya Miller and Master P's split -- and her legal demand for a chunk of his empire ... telling us, "Honestly, I love my mom to death, but I mean -- we gotta just work out some things. She gotta be a better parent, y'know."

It sounds like he's referring to Master P's allegations that Sonya is smoking marijuana around their children ... which she's denied.

Marc Anthony is SCOFFING at his ex-wife for daring to claim he made $60 million over the last 4 years. Marc says she's way off ... he only made a hair over $40 mil.

Marc filed new legal docs in his ongoing custody war with former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, who claims she was forced to live in a crappy San Fernando Valley hovel with their 2 kids while he lives lavishly.

But Marc is putting things in perspective, laying out his finances in the docs -- obtained by TMZ. Marc says over the last 2 years he spends an average of $305K A MONTH.

It all adds up so fast. Marc says he's spent around $400,000 on domestic help over the last 2 years. We're guessing that doesn't include shelling out for JLo while she did "Maid in Manhattan."

And then there's $220k for auto leases, $1 million for a California home and another $700K for 2 New York residences.

Dayanara wants her monthly child support upped from $13K to $113K.

Bethenny Frankel's divorce has dragged on so freakin' long that now she has to fork over $100k just to cover her soon-to-be-ex husband's legal fees -- even though they've yet to agree on terms for a divorce settlement.

According to court docs ... Frankel has to immediately hand over what amounts to an advance payment to Jason Hoppy's attorney. The docs stipulate the $100,000 will be subtracted from whatever financial settlement Jason ends up getting from Bethenny ... presuming they ever hammer out a deal.

Frankel filed divorce docs in Jan. 2013 ... and they've been battling over money and custody issues ever since.

Frankel sold the Skinnygirl brand for about $100 mil, so technically 100K is a drop in the bucket -- but since it's going to her ex's lawyer ... we doubt there's a smiley face on the check.

Master P's estranged wife wants a $67 million parting gift from her marriage -- claiming she deserves a HUGE chunk of the rapper's empire ... which includes a small city worth of properties, a fleet of expensive cars, and more.

Sonya Miller just filed legal docs in the couple's bitter divorce, estimating the total value of community assets from the marriage at $178,743,300 -- including 31 properties, 13 cars, 45 companies, and other stuff. She wants nearly 40% of everything.

According to the docs, the real estate properties are spread across Cali, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia -- she wants eight of them. She also wants one of their three large chandeliers (valued around $300,000 a pop).

Sonya estimates the value of Master P's businesses -- including No Limit Records -- at $136,101,000 ... and wants $54 million of that. She also wants $10 million of Master P's "Make 'Em Say Ughh!" energy drink company.

Other stuff -- Sonya wants her $28,000 wedding dress ... and ONE of Master P's 13 cars (the Escalade). Master P also owns a black Rolls, a green Bentley, a Porsche, a Jag, another Escalade, and several other ridiculous vehicles.

All told, Sonya is demanding $67,647,800 -- leaving Master P with a measly $111,095,500.

UGHH!!

It's shocking enough to see Tiger Woods hanging out with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren again ... but even MORE SHOCKING to see them together with Tiger's GF Lindsey Vonn by his side.

Marriage was NOT as good as it gets for Cuba Gooding Jr.'s wife -- she just filed for separation from the Oscar-winning actor after 20 years of marriage, TMZ has learned.

Sara Kapfer filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. She and Cuba were high school sweethearts and got married in 1994. They have 3 children, 2 of whom are minors.

Sara wants joint legal and physical custody. According to the docs, child support will be determined later.

It's surprising -- just last year, Cuba gushed about his wife on "The View," talking about how wonderful it is to be married to someone for so long.

Paige Laurie Dubbert filed a civil lawsuit against Patrick Bode Dubbert shortly after filing for divorce. In the lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- she claims Patrick funneled huge sums of money out of a business he was running -- a retail center in Malibu.

Paige says Patrick convinced her to let him hire his buddy as co-manager of the project. The 2 men allegedly then promptly made themselves the general contractors of the project ... bumping their fees from $15K a month to $70K a month.

Paige claims her husband and the other guy were totally incompetent to be general contractors, and it was simply a shameless money grab.

Paige said Patrick was also paying himself $250K a year to manage the project, on top of the other fees.

The heiress to the Walmart fortune is so rich she's asking a judge to allow her husband to take her to the cleaners.

Paige Laurie Dubbert -- whose mother inherited a multi-BILLION dollar chunk of the Walmart fortune -- just filed legal docs to end her 5 year marriage to Patrick Bode Dubbert.

Not surprisingly ... they signed a prenup, presumably protecting her fortune, but at the same time it gives her hubby the right to get spousal support if they divorce.

Well, almost 6 years of marriage, they're divorcing. In the legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Paige cites irreconcilable differences.

Apparently the spousal support won't put a dent in her wallet, because Paige says she's more than happy to write the check based on the amount agreed upon in the prenup.

She also wants to legally change her name back to Elizabeth Paige Laurie.

Elizabeth made headlines in 2005 ... when she surrendered her degree from USC ... after school officials learned she paid someone to write her term paper.

Eliza Coupe should have known this was a possibility when she married a puppeteer ... TMZ has learned she's been ordered to pay her ex spousal support and a six-figure lump sum to boot!

As TMZ first reported, Randall Whittinghill filed for divorce from the "Happy Endings" star last July after five years of marriage (literally -- the date of separation on the divorce docs is listed as their five-year anniversary).

According to divorce docs obtained by TMZ ... Whittinghill and Coupe have come to agreement on how to divvy things up ... and Whittinghill made out quite well. The docs say Coupe has to fork over $7,000 a month in spousal support as well as a lump sum payment of $306,000.

The gravy train comes to an abrupt halt in 2 years or when Whittinghill gets re-hitched ... whichever comes first.

In January, USA picked up Eliza's next show to series ... so she won't be hurting too bad.

This is not a trick, Michael -- "Arrested Development" star Will Arnett has officially filed for divorce from Amy Poehler ... nearly two years after the couple separated.

According to court documents, Arnett wants joint legal and physical custody of their two sons aged 5 and 3. He also wants visitation.

43-year-old Arnett and 42--year-old Poehler got married in 2003.

Since they separated, Arnett has reportedly been dating Billy Joel's ex-wife Katie Lee and Poehler has been linked to comedian Nick Kroll.

Journalist and TV host Giselle Fernandez just lost 180 pounds ... by dumping her husband after 11 years of marriage ... and according to legal docs, she's quick to point out ... she makes a fortune.

52-year-old Fernandez filed for legal separation from business exec John Farrand on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences.

And this is interesting ... Giselle is NOT asking for spousal support, saying in her docs, "I was the breadwinner." Giselle claims she typically works 40 hours a week and earns an impressive $41,667 per month.

Other fun stuff -- Fernandez claims she spends $6,500 a month on rent and $2,000 on GROCERIES.

The couple was married at their Beverly Hills home back in November 2002. They have a 7-year-old daughter, and Giselle wants joint custody.

In addition to "Access Hollywood," Fernandez guest anchored for "CBS Early Show," "CBS Evening News," "NBC Today," "NBC Nightly News," and even appeared on "Dancing with the Stars" (she didn't last long).
