LeBlanc is getting a divorce from Melissa, his wife of three years. The couple has a two-year-old girl. And the couple has a serious bank account. So why would Matt not lawyer up in a potentially high-stakes divorce?

We're told Matt felt he could do it all himself. TMZ knows the "Friends" star had a prenup so money wasn't going to be an issue. And we're told Matt and Melissa agreed to joint custody. So, perhaps in an effort to save a few bucks, Matt and Melissa went to a mediator. Melissa actually did eventually hire a lawyer. But Matt was a regular Jacoby AND Meyers, going it alone.

Actually, we're told in the last few months, Matt has consulted with celebrity powerhouse lawyer Neal Hersh, a partner in Hersh, Mannis and Bogen. And we're told just last week, Matt formally hired Hersh to put the finishing touches on the remnants of his marriage.

The bottom line -- the guy's a regular Matt-lock!

Is Larry the Cable Guy dating?

Lindy, Larry the Cable Guy (aka Daniel Lawrence Whitney) is actually married with a child! "Larry" and wife Cara Whitney welcomed their first child, Wyatt, into their family back on August 2. Unfortunately for his "Git-r-done" fans, "Blue Collar TV" didn't make the CW cut, but re-runs can be caught up until the new network launches in mid-September.

The pair wed on New Year's Eve 2000. They have a son, Ryder Russell, who was born on January 7, 2004.

In a statement to TMZ, Hudson's rep Brad Cafarelli said "Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson have confirmed that they are separated."

With word that supermodel Christie Brinkley is separating from her fourth husband, we couldn't help but wonder: Who's had a harder life post divorce -- Christie or her second ex, Billy Joel?

Brinkley's rep confirmed on Tuesday the split from Peter Cooke, her husband of 10 years. She has a daughter with Cooke, a daughter with Joel, and a son with third husband Richard Taubman.

Actually, a tragedy brought Taubman and Brinkley together. They met when both were passengers in a helicopter that crashed in Colorado in 1994. Ironically, they married near the site of the chopper crash but the union lasted for less than a year. Brinkley reportedly had to pay Taubman $2 mil as a parting gift to end the marriage.

Former 'Baywatch' beauty Donna D'Errico has filed for divorce from Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx after 9 years of marriage.

D'Errico is claiming irreconcilable differences and is seeking physical custody of their 5 year-old daughter Frankie-Jean and her 13 year-old son Rhyan from a previous relationship. D'Errico is requesting that the court give joint legal custody with child visitation to Sixx, and that spousal support and attorney fees be paid by Sixx as well.

Former 'Beverly Hills, 90210' heartthrob Luke Perry has requested a restraining order against a woman who he says has been harassing him.

According to the documents, filed April 4 in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Luke is seeking protection for himself and his two children Jack, 8, and Sophie, 5. In the documents, Luke claims the woman has "repeatedly harassed me by phone and by mail. Showing up [sic] at my house uninvited and unannounced."

Luke claims in the documents that he has learned the woman has "a history of psychiatric issues and has had similar issues recently."

Luke also alleges the woman has showed up at events where Luke has made public appearances, including a speaking engagement in Palm Springs where he had to be assisted out the door by security.

LeBlanc's rep issued the following statement: "Melissa and Matt LeBlanc have decided to end their marriage of three years. The dissolution is amicable. They remain devoted parents and friends. For the sake of their family, they ask that their privacy be respected at this time."
