Peter Andre Cried Himself to Sleep after Split

Peter Andre has made a confession that will surprise no one who followed his reality show with former wife, Katie Price. The 36-year-old singer is a sensitive soul and says he cried himself to sleep, following the break up of his marriage.

Andre seems like a sweet guy. He took a lot of crap during the marriage and he didn’t complain too often. He only had a handful of blowups on camera, while on his reality show too. Perhaps this is why the singer is the one coming off in a more human light in the wake of the split. Price is coming off really badly. The awful interview she did with Piers Morgan was something that required a sweater to watch – she was like an ice maiden. So cold hearted and hard. She is apparently dating again already and many people asked after watch her interview… whether she ever cared at all.

Andre says he thinks the split will make him “a better man”.

“I wish I was stronger. The one thing about Katie is that she can just move on. I can’t do that. Well, not yet anyway,” he told News Of The World’s magazine Fabulous. Insisting he had always been faithful to Price, aka glamour model Jordan, Andre said: “I never cheated on her, from the moment that I met her until, well, I still haven’t.”

He also revealed he had not told his children, Junior, four, Princess, two, and stepson Harvey, seven, that his three-and-a-half-year marriage to their mother was over, because he wanted to protect them. The Australian pop star recalled breaking down while on a shopping trip after being hit with the “realisation that the family unit was smashed to pieces”.

“It all just suddenly hit me in the Ikea car park. I had to go home, and that night I cried myself to sleep.” Andre, who met Price on ITV1′s I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004, added: “I’m still in a tunnel and can’t see the light yet, but I know it’s there. I know I’ll get there and come out a stronger man – a better man.” (via Metro UK)

Hulk and Linda Hogan are Finally Divorced

Hogans-5849PCN_Billboard64

The Hogan’s divorce was made final today in Clearwater, FL. (also known as Scientology Town). Amongst stress tests and come-ons from Tommy and the robot the pair finally came to an agreement.

This is the longest divorce in the entire world. I remember writing about this on an old site of mine during the dawn of man, when this bull first started. The fight between them was so bitter and drawn out that it’s a wonder either is still alive to tell the tale.

Hulk and Linda Hogan – real names Terry and Linda Bollea – began their divorce around two years ago. From the depths of distorted media reports/ my coke-stained memory, I remember that a lot of the lag was caused by Linda fighting to keep all the teeth whitener. Hulk told her wrinkly ass to get a job and one Presidential election later they finally sorted out this crap.

Local station Bay News 9 reports that the two reached a settlement, although no terms of the agreement are known as of yet. The two fought over alimony, allowances, properties and Hulk leveled accusations at Linda over her spending habits. Their daughter Brooke Hogan was also involved, publicly taking her dad’s side, which turned into a war of words with Linda. Today however, the two reportedly greeted each other with friendly hellos and kisses on the cheek. (via OK magazine)

Jon and Kate Release Statements about Divorce

jon-kate-gosselin-picture

Jon and Kate of Jon and Kate plus 8 have issued separate statements about their filing of divorce papers.

“Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children,” Kate said in a statement Monday night. “While there are reasons why it was appropriate and necessary for me to initiate this proceeding, I do not wish to discuss those reasons at this time, in the hope that all issues will be resolved amicably between Jon and myself. As always, my first priority remains our children.

Jon released a statement of his own, claiming his wife was the first to make a legal move. “This afternoon, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my number one priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe. My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn’t change that.” (via People)

Queue the separate book deals and separate boring TV shows. Yawn.

Jon and Kate File for Divorce

Jon and Kate of Jon and Kate plus 8 have filed for divorce.

This would be sad, if it weren’t so staged. The pair hated each and were so desperate for a divorce that they did all of this within the confines of their show. Ensuring that book, magazine and TV deals could all be viable options for them to vent their post-divorce discontent.

I hate when reality show couples do crap like this. Can they not hate each other and write passive-aggressive tweets about each other, like a normal couple. If I hate a mother effer, no one and no amount of money on this earth will keep me living with their annoying arses until such time as a third-party dictate we split. I’m cutting up shirts and slashing tyres (and then taking a slash on his front lawn) and then running like my momma caught me stealing.

Ugh. The big fakers are finally splitting, which sadly means you are going to have to put up with more BS updates from me and other people who don’t really care about them either. Apparently this constitutes news. This and my first sh*t of the morning are both news of equal value. (smdh.)

Life and Style magazine claims that Jon Gosselin and his receding hairline are moving to NYC to be away from his shrill wifey. This means he will also be away from his darling babies – but for now, no one seems to know whether or not that bothers him. He’ll be seeing them on weekends only, as he will no doubt need his whole week free to pimp himself out to pay child support for that many kids/ alimony.

Brian Sep, a friend of reality-TV-star Jon Gosselin’s for more than 15 years, confirms to Life & Style that Jon and his wife, Kate, have already begun living separate lives. “Jon is planning on living and working in New York during the week and staying home with the kids on Friday, Saturday and Sunday while Kate is away,” says Sep.

Even though Jon and Kate will be living apart, both parents want to be there for their eight children. “Jon really seems like he’s back to his old self,” says Sep, who plans to visit his pal in New York City. “Whatever decision has been made, Jon seems to be at peace with it and in a good place. He doesn’t know where Kate is when he’s gone [but] I think that’s okay with him.” (via Life & Style)

This would be sadder after ten years and 195 babies, if these two were not so fame crazy. Famewh*res splitting is always about 50% as sad. Add back in 25% cos they have babies together and that’s like. Um. Reeeal sad.

Early reports make it sound like Kate Gosselin is going to get everything. She gets the house, the bulk of the time to go crazy looking after that many kids alone, and that thick dolla from her soon to be ex.

After months of speculation, the 10-year marriage of Jon & Kate Plus Eight‘s stars Kate and Jon Gosselin appears to be coming to an end, a source close to the situation tells People. Documents to initiate a legal split were filed in Pennsylvania Monday afternoon.

Fans who have watched the couple’s popular TLC show – or read the voluminous coverage of the Gosselin marriage in the press – will hardly be surprised: The duo had long maintained a tense relationship, with Jon recently telling PEOPLE he wanted a less high-profile life, while Kate appeared to remain committed to their TV career.

Usher is Divorcing Tameka Foster

Usher has reportedly filed for divorce from his wife, Tameka Foster. The pair have been together for almost two years and in that time, they have produced two children together, Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, 6 months.

The divorce papers were filed in Atlanta, this morning.

“The Grammy winner has been living apart from his wife for nearly a year after almost two years of marriage,” an insider exclusively tells In Touch, adding, “Usher’s primary concern is for his children. He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them.” (via InTouch Weekly)

The pair have not been seen together in an age and were clearly over the annoying joined at the hip thing they had going on after their first baby was born. Thinking about it, Usher did not actually seem that bothered when his better half nearly died during her plastic surgery. Hmmm. So, a man not really giving a sh*t when you are at death’s door is a sign you should jump ship. Interesting.

Katie ‘Jordan’ Price & Peter Andre Divorce

katie-price-jordan-peter-andre-amyg-opt-spl91565_013

Katie Price and her husband of nearly five years, Peter Andre, have split according to The Sun UK newspaper.

I had the pleasure of seeing Price, 30, and Andre, 36, running together at the Flora London marathon (the last time they were really seen together in public). They are a pretty couple, better looking than you would think and they damn near glow in the dark with all those layers of fake bake. But one did get the impression that they were a very real, solid and loving couple. They fought like cat and dog, but I fight with everyone and it don’t mean I don’t like them!

The tan pair have been together as a couple in the public eye since literally the day they got together as they met on the UK version of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. They have had innumerable season renewals of their own reality show since then, and are the parents of three children; Harvey (who is very severely disabled), 6, Junior, 3 and Princess Tiamii, 1.

Their management company Can Associates Limited today said, “Peter Andre and Katie Price are separating after four-and-a-half years of marriage. They have both requested that the media respect their families’ privacy at this difficult time.”

I smell a publicity stunt and a revelation that they were meant to be together, they’ve done it before…
