Celebrity Divorce

James Marsden and his soon-to-be ex-wife Lisa Linde walked around Studio City yesterday with their 10-year-old son Jack.

Judgment Day has come for "Terminator 2" star Edward Furlong ... and a court has decided the actor owes more than $15,000 in back child support payments to his ex-wife.

According to papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Furlong has only forked over $3,201 in payments to ex-wife Rachael Kneeland since December -- problem is, he still owes another $12,108 PLUS another $3,840 in interest.

Kneeland -- who starred as Becca in "The Ring" back in 2002 -- had a son with Furlong ... before divorcing him back in 2009.

NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders wants to put the kibosh on rumors he filed for divorce from Pilar Sanders ... telling TMZ while they've talked about splitting up, he's NEVER filed legal papers.

Prime Time says that he and Pilar are currently still together -- but in the process of figuring out "what's best for our future, our lives, and our kids."

Reports are circulating the two split after allegations Deion was unfaithful -- but Sanders tells us the infidelity rumors were nothing more than a failed extortion attempt.

"X-Men" star James Marsden's wife has filed for divorce, TMZ has learned.

Lisa Linde cited irreconcilable differences. She's seeking spousal support and joint legal and physical custody.

A rep for James tells TMZ, "This was a mutual decision. They are committed to raising their kids together and remain great friends."

The couple married in 2000 and have two children -- a son and a daughter.

Lisa filed for divorce on September 23rd. So this is interesting ... TMZ got video of James at 4:30 AM that morning, outside the Papaya King hot dog shop in New York, singing with a bunch of friends.

TMZ has learned Kelsey Grammer just won his battle with Camille Grammer in custody court, but it comes not only with strings attached, but the possibility of an explosion of tempers.

As we first reported, Kelsey and Camille were in family court this morning -- the first time they've come face-to-face since they separated.

Sources tell TMZ ... the two were at an impasse, because Kelsey wanted to take the former couple's two children for 6 days, beginning Monday, while he's in L.A.

We're told Camille, who is repped by Neal Hersh and Judy Bogen, did not want Kelsey to take the kids because Kelsey would not agree to take them to their regularly scheduled activities, which includes dance, sports and therapy.

With Kelsey's lawyer, Lance Spiegel by his side, we're told the judge allowed Kelsey to take the kids for the 6 days, but under the ruling he must also take them to ALL of their scheduled activities.

Now here's where it gets interesting. We're told up to now Kelsey has refused to attend any of the events in which his kids participate if Camille is present -- and she's been to pretty much everything.

And, our sources say, Camille will attend ALL of the scheduled activities next week.

Kelsey Grammer and Camille Grammer just showed up in court to do battle in their custody case, and it's the first time they've seen each other since they separated.

Now get this ... Kelsey walked into court with his newest wife, Kayte -- smiling, hand-in-hand. But when it came time to call the case, everyone other than Kelsey, Camille and their lawyers were thrown out -- including Kayte.

And Kayte then walked into the hallway, sat down and teared up.

The nightmare is over for Stacey Dash ... a judge has finally granted her divorce from actor Emmanuel Xuereb -- the man she claims beat her up on multiple occasions.

Dash -- arguably hotter than another famous 45-year-old (see poll) -- filed for divorce in January 2010 ... the same day she filed for a restraining order against the guy.

TMZ broke the story ... Dash claimed Xuereb hit her in the face, head and body during their two-plus years of marriage ... but she was afraid to report it to police.

Last week, an L.A. County Superior Court judge signed off on the divorce -- making Dash, a former Playboy model, a very, very eligible bachelorette.

Jamie McCourt has successfully unloaded one of the Holmby Hills cribs she used to own with estranged hubby Frank McCourt -- selling the 8 bedroom, 10 bath mansion for a cool $6.525 million.

The McCourts bought the 8,400 square foot home back in 2004 -- in hopes of making it the "guest house" for the $25 million villa they purchased next door.

The problem is -- Frank and Jamie divorced before they got around to creating the massive 5 acre compound -- and the guest house was put up for sale.

Divorce sucks ... especially when cuddly pets are involved -- just ask former '90s hairbander Matthew Nelson (from Nelson) ... who officially lost his dogs (and a cat) when his divorce became final.

Nelson and former Lingerie Bowl player Yvette Stefens were married for 16-years -- and while they had no kids, they acquired 3 adorable wittle animals ... 2 dogs (Cheyenne and Kaia) and a cat (Chaplin).

The divorce became final earlier this month -- and according to court docs obtained by TMZ, the animals were awarded to Matthew's wife ... who also got to keep her Porsche, clothing, jewelry and a bunch of cash.

Matthew walked away with a BMW, a Lotus, guitars and an upright Knabe piano that belonged to his famous father, Ricky Nelson. He also got to keep all of the publishing rights to his music.

As for the animals, Matt's rep tells us the singer is "sad that as a result of the parties’ divorce his pets are no longer part of his life, but he does not regret his agreement to have the pets stay with his former wife."

Boston Red Sox pitcher John Lackey has filed to divorce his wife, Krista ... who is in the middle of battling breast cancer.

Lackey filed on August 30, according to court docs in Texas, claiming "the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities." Krista and John got married in November, 2008.

Sources close to the family tell TMZ ... Krista underwent a double mastectomy back in March and underwent chemo as recently as June.

The divorce petition says John and Krista had a prenup. It also says Lackey has "separate property" he wants to keep for himself.

Lackey filed the divorce papers using only his and Krista's initials -- a tactic Tony Parker and Eva Longoria ... and Sandra Bullock and Jesse James also used in their Texas divorces.

It's unclear why Lackey -- who's struggled on the field all season long -- didn't wait til the off-season, about a month from now, to start divorce proceedings.

4:33 PM: The Red Sox just released a statement on Lackey's behalf -- telling us, "John Lackey is dealing with a deeply personal family issue, and it is one the Red Sox do not feel is appropriate for public debate. The Red Sox request that John and Krista’s privacy be respected."

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver had a lunch date yesterday, but there was no romance.

The couple met at the Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica.

Their son Patrick was there, but not at the table when the pic was snapped. We're told Arnold and Maria regularly talk and sometimes get together with their kids, who have become the priority in their breakup.

Once the lunch was over, Arnold and Maria left separately.

If Melissa Etheridge says tomato, Tammy Lynn Michaels says tomato -- well, this probably has more impact when you say it ... but the two former lovebirds are about to engage in a lesbian battle royale in court.

TMZ has obtained legal docs, which draw the battle lines in the break-up of their 9-year relationship that produced twins.

According to the docs, Melissa claims she's at loggerheads with Tammy over the following issues:

-- Child custody
-- Visitation
-- Child support
-- Spousal support
-- Division of property
-- Attorney's fees

But wait ... there's more ... Melissa and Tammy are even arguing over whether they were actually married. Tammy says they were (which would entitle her to all sorts of financial goodies) while Melissa says their vows were nothing more than a non-binding commitment ceremony.

The celebrity P.I. who was famously convicted on scores of wiretapping and conspiracy counts in 2008 has filed for divorce from his wife ... from inside prison.

Anthony Pellicano's lawyer filed the documents last week -- citing irreconcilable differences.

Anthony was hired by numerous Hollywood big wigs for his sleuthing services -- including Chris Rock, former MGM head Kirk Kerkorian, Paramount honcho Brad Grey, former Disney head Michael Ovitz, and Universal head Ron Meyer.

Pellicano was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison in Texas in 2008.

Denise Richards tells TMZ ... she doesn't want a dime from Charlie Sheen's $125-million-dollar settlement with Warner Bros ... well, other than the $50,000 he's paying her for child support every month.

Laurie Metcalf -- who played Jackie, Roseanne's sister on "Roseanne" -- is about to have her marriage cancelled, because her husband has filed for divorce.

Matt Roth -- an actor who played Laurie's abusive boyfriend on "Roseanne" -- filed papers citing irreconcilable differences.

The couple married in 2005, but were together for a lot longer. They have 3 minor children -- Will, 17, Donovan, 11, and Mae, 6.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, the date of separation is November 26, 2008.

Matt is asking for joint legal and physical custody and is asking the judge to block Laurie from asking for spousal support.

This is Metcalf's second marriage.

Gary Collins' wife of 43 years needs a time out in her marriage to the TV host ... TMZ has learned she filed Monday for legal separation.

Mary Ann Mobley -- who won the Miss America title in 1959 -- is "miserable about the whole situation" ... this according to her rep who spoke with TMZ.

Mary Ann is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation as she deals with stage 3 breast cancer. Mary Ann's rep tells us Gary is depressed about her illness and they both felt they needed a break.

The rep says no other person is involved in the separation.

Gary has had his own problems, after being arrested 3 times and convicted twice for DUI.

The date of separation is listed as October 1, 2010 -- nearly a year ago.
