Celebrity Divorce

TMZ has learned ... Kris Humphries just filed for an annulment against Kim Kardashian, on grounds Kim defrauded him into marrying her.

Sources close to Kris tell TMZ ... Kris was not in on the alleged fraud, meaning he did not stage the marriage for Kim's reality show. We're told Kris wanted this to be a genuine marriage, but Kim was never really on board.

Kim has already filed for divorce -- but according to the docs, obtained by TMZ -- Kris wants Kim to pay his attorney's fees.

We broke the story the couple has a prenup, but according to the documents Kris claims there are "community and quasi-community assets." Sources connected with Kim claim there's no community property.

The short story here -- there's going to be a fight, because Kris thinks Kim did him in.

Just weeks before his third wedding anniversary, Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin has filed for divorce from his smokin' hot model wife ... TMZ has learned.

Scantlin filed divorce docs in L.A. County Superior Court Tuesday ... seeking to end his marriage to model/host Jessica Nicole Scantlin. The two married back in 2008.

Scantlin had previously referred to Jessica as "my little muse" -- claiming she inspired a bunch of his songs.

Calls to Scantlin have not been returned.

Usher's ex-wife wants to take away his kids ... claiming the singer has repeatedly blown off his legal obligations as a co-parent ... and even worse -- he CLOSED her Saks 5th Avenue credit card ... this according to court docs obtained by TMZ.

Tameka Raymond -- who had 2 kids with Usher during their brief 2 year marriage -- filed court papers in Georgia ... asking a judge to strip Usher of joint physical custody of their children ASAP.

According to the docs, Tameka claims Usher has repeatedly FAILED to obtain her permission to travel outside the state with the kids ... which he's legally obligated to do.

But there's more ... a lot more.

Tameka also claims Usher is required and has failed to:
-- get her approval before hiring nannies
-- give her first shot to watch the kids when he's away for more than 8 hours
-- allow her to take the kids for 2-weeks in the summer of 2011
-- let her have custody of the kids during Christmas break 2010

Tameka also claims Usher closed her Saks 5th Avenue credit card -- which he specifically said he wouldn't do -- and now she can no longer take advantage of the "special benefits" the card offers.

According to the docs, Usher also promised to pay $5k per month so Tameka could hire her own nanny for the kids -- but he hasn't paid in months, and now owes $34,000 worth of payments.

Tameka also claims there has been a "substantial change in [Usher's] income" since they got divorced -- and because of his success, she should get even more money for child support.

A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Wednesday. Stay tuned ...

Only in Hollywood can someone who slept with a married man claim they feel "lied to" -- but that's what Brittney Jones, Ashton Kutcher's alleged mistress, told our photog yesterday.

As TMZ first reported, Jones -- whose alleged tryst with Kutcher in 2010 was heavily denied by his camp -- says she felt vindicated when Demi Moore finally pulled the plug on her marriage to Ashton.

Jones said she hasn't spoken to Ashton lately but she wishes him and Demi the best.

Ashton Kutcher's alleged mistress -- the FIRST alleged mistress -- claims she feels "vindicated" by Demi Moore's divorce statement ... telling TMZ she hopes people will finally believe her story about sleeping with Ashton.

TMZ spoke with Brittney Jones -- who claimed she got busy with Kutcher in 2010 after meeting the guy at a bowling alley. Jones' credibility was called into question when she capitalized on her sudden fame by releasing a sex tape .... which did NOT feature Ashton.

Ashton's lawyer released a statement at the time Brittney was in the headlines, insinuating her story was a lie ... but not entirely denying

Now, Jones tells TMZ ... "Although divorce is often sad I do feel somewhat vindicated."

She adds, "For so long people have thought that I was dishonest or just making up my passionate nights with Ashton, when in fact I was being used."

"Ashton told me that both he and Demi had an 'open relationship' and that he was not in fact cheating. Now I can tell all the facts about how Ashton really was, and hopefully people will believe my side of the story."

Demi Moore will divorce Ashton Kutcher, her husband of 6 years ... and she's strongly suggesting it's because of the cheating scandal.

Demi says, "as a woman, a mother and a wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life."

Ashton just tweeted, "I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi. Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail" -- though it's unclear if this message was approved by his Twitter team.

Demi and Ashton made headlines in September after a 22-year-old woman named Sara Leal claimed she had unprotected sex with him in San Diego.

Leal claimed Ashton told her he was "separated" from Demi at the time of the alleged affair.

Eddie Griffin just can't decide if he wants to be a married man, because he got hitched in September, filed for divorce in October, and reconciled a few days ago.

Eddie and Nia Rivers filed a joint divorce petition in Las Vegas -- the same city where they tied the knot -- on October 29th, citing the go-to "irreconcilable differences."

Now people close to the couple tell us ... they're giving it one more college try, and have put the divorce on hold.

BTW, they got married impulsively on September 8th at a walk-in Vegas chapel.

Troy Aikman is officially a single man ... and has been for months ... after a judge quietly signed off on his divorce back in April ... TMZ has learned.

Back in January, Troy and Rhonda Aikman announced they had separated after ten years of marriage ... but TMZ has uncovered official public records, signed by Troy, in which the Dallas Cowboys legend states that an "agreed final decree of divorce" has been issued and it lists April 12, 2011 as the day the marriage was legally terminated.

Troy and Rhonda have 2 kids together -- and back in January, they released a joint statement saying, "We remain deeply committed to our children ... during this period of adjustment"

Just a few months before the two separated, Troy and Rhonda were already divvying up the family assets. TMZ obtained official documents which show Rhonda gave up her stake in the family mansion in Dallas last November. It's unclear if she got any compensation for taking her name off the deed ... but just a few months later, she purchased a home, also in Dallas, for roughly $1.5 mil.

TMZ called Aikman's rep for comment -- so far, no response.

Aikman shouldn't struggle too much on the dating circuit -- after all, he looks like this now ...

"American Idol" champ Ruben Studdard has filed for divorce, TMZ has learned.

The Velvet Teddy Bear (who won Season 2 back in 2003) filed the papers in Alabama ... citing -- what else -- "irreconcilable differences."

Ruben and his wife Surata Zuri McCants tied the knot in 2008. They have no kids.

A rep for Studdard tells us, “Ruben and Zuri have gone their separate ways.”

Actor Joel Moore -- who played scientist Norm Spellman in "Avatar" -- has filed for divorce, TMZ has learned.

Moore -- also famous for his robot scene in "Grandma's Boy" (below) -- filed papers in L.A. County Superior Court, citing the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences."

Moore and his wife -- Kineret Karen Ben Yishay Moore (Jewish?) -- married on New Year's Day in 2009 and separated this June. They have no children.

Kris Humphries has lawyered up for his divorce ... TMZ has learned.

Kris is using his Minnesota attorney -- Lee Hutton -- to end his marriage to Kim Kardashian. Hutton reps a lot of sports stars and doesn't do much in the way of divorce. But that's OK, because this divorce will be easy as pie.

Sources connected with Kris and Kim tell us ... there are NO conflicts over who gets what, largely because of the prenup. BTW, Hutton repped Kris when the prenup was negotiated.

We're told -- barring something unforeseen -- the divorce will become final 6 months from the date Kim filed. That's the minimum time required by law.

Holly Marie Combs -- who starred as the good witch Piper Halliwell on "Charmed" -- has filed for divorce from her husband of 7 years ... the actress confirms with TMZ.

Combs married David Donoho back in 2004 -- after meeting the guy on the set of "Charmed." David was a key grip on the show.

Combs -- who now stars on the ABC Family show "Pretty Little Liars" -- cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. We're told the relationship has been rocky for "quite a while."

The couple has three young children together -- we're told Combs has requested joint custody.

As far as a prenup is concerned -- we're told they don't have one ... which could be a costly move for Combs.

Kim Kardashian is not reconciling with Kris Humphries, and the divorce is full steam ahead ... this according to sources with first-hand knowledge of the situation.

We're told even though Kim is somewhat conflicted, she knows divorce is the right thing to do, and the purpose of the trip to Minnesota last weekend was to create face-to-face closure.

Sources say Kris' Minnesota lawyer is handling the divorce for him.

And, we're told, there are "no conflicts" over the terms of the divorce.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries threw a Hail Mary Sunday ... to see if they could save their marriage -- and after a four-hour meeting with their pastor, sources close to the couple tell TMZ a reconciliation is "up in the air."

According to our sources, the meeting with Pastor Joel Johnson went well as they talked through lots of issues. We're told the two expressed respect and love for each other ... but both acknowledged a lot is wrong with their relationship.

Our sources say Kris was "ecstatic" Kim made the trip to Minnesota and he truly thinks he can win her back.

As for Kim .... she's unsure if she even wants to give it another go ... but for now, she's willing to keep talking.

Stay tuned.
