If You're Cheating, Look Up And Wave!

Posted to Relevant News by Debbie Nigro on Wed, 04/01/2009 - 7:52pm

Forget the old days of rabid drive-bys to see if your partner is cheating on you. Now you can be your own P.I. and flip out on your cheating louse from the comfort of your living room. Google Street View just nailed one unsuspecting hubby, and you can bet he won’t be the last.

A guy from Britain told his wife he was going on a business trip. She was home amusing herself on the computer and decided to look up her girlfriend’s house on Google Street View. Uh Oh Mo! There parked in front of her gal pal’s house was her hubby's Range Rover with the big bling hub caps. She then Googled a divorce lawyer.

More than one divorce lawyer has a Google Street View case in the works, and I sense this “new grounds for divorce sport” will pick up steam.

So if you're going to cheat on your other half, be forewarned! In addition to looking over your shoulder, also be sure to look up. Waving is optional.

Countess Her Blessings

Sordid details emerge in David divorce

Posted to Relevant News by Debbie Nigro on Thu, 03/26/2009 - 5:48pm

I am going to call the outcome of the divorce case in the news between the 36-year-old Swedish Countess and the 66 year-old CEO with countless millions. She should countess her blessings that her $36 million in United Technologies stock is still worth that much. She should also have no problem finding a new guy who doesn't have a problem being dragged to bed against his will, one complaint from her now ex-CEO hubby.

Married in 2002, it took only two years for Marie Douglas-David to start cheating on George David with a strapping Swedish swordsman (say that three times fast). Poor George hired a PI, finds out it's true, and files for divorce. She uses sex to get him back.

Is Every Celebrity Divorce Really "Amicable"?

CSI's Marg Helgenberger is most recent example

There were no tantrums when Brad Pitt left Jennifer Aniston. Not a scream nor a shout was uttered when Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid went their separate ways after their nine-year marriage. And did that glutinous mixture of tears and snot (what I call “the breakup blend”) dribble down Rebecca Romijn-Stamos’s cheeks when she and John Stamos finally called it quits?

Why of course not.

That’s because they’re all celebrities. And as we all know, every celebrity split is an “amicable split”.

Man, 80, Files for Divorce, Citing Too Little Sex

Posted to Relevant News by M Haas on Wed, 03/18/2009 - 7:13pm

Even when the most offbeat divorce stories cross our news desk, it’s rare that they actually read more like a limerick than a conventional “story”. But that was just the case with a recent story out of Zimbabwe. And thus, I just couldn’t pass by the opportunity to try my hand at my first ever news-limerick:

There once was a man named Obert
Who pleaded in front of the court
Dear judge, please divorce me
My wife won’t oblige, see
So I need to get my freak on with a new sort

While that pretty much sums up the gist of this story, here are a few more details:

Obert Manjengwa, feeling all his 80 years, decided to petition the courts in his native Zimbabwe for a divorce from his 50-year-old wife. His grounds for divorce were that of too little sex, the last encounter being 7 years ago, he claimed (which in dirty dawg years is like 50!). Obert was getting too old to waste any more time begging…I mean “convincing” her for a hand…er…out.

Egyptian Communities Can Force Couples to Divorce

Posted to Relevant News by Maureen Dempsey on Mon, 03/16/2009 - 11:20am

We've all had friends that we thought, "Boy, she made a mistake by marrying that guy." Now you can do something about it: Force a divorce! Everyone in favor of a divorce say "aye"…

Ok, not really, but close. According to global news site UPI.com, a Muslim cleric has issued a fatwa (a legally binding ruling from a religious leader) that allows community members to obtain on divorce on a couple's behalf.

If neighbors and/or family members believe a couple's differences to be beyond repair, they can file for the couple. If the community members can present solid evidence that husband and wife cannot live amicably, the court will divorce them.

Hulk Hogan and Divorce Attorney Trade Barbs Outside Courtroom

Posted to Relevant News by M Haas on Sun, 03/15/2009 - 7:20pm

In an adult version of “I know you are but what am I?” Hulk Hogan and his soon-to-be ex-wife’s divorce attorney, Ray Rafool, exchanged words outside the courtroom where a judge had just granted the release of $225,000 in frozen assets to Hogan.

According to the AP, while “Ray Ray” Rafool was posturing for the press, “The Hulk” began tossing in his oversized 2-cented comments from the sidelines. A frustrated Rafool finally shot back, “Are you gonna to wrestle with me here? Are you gonna come across the cameras? Then be quiet.” OOOhhh, no he diin’t just tell Hulk to shut up!

Hulk responded, “It’s a free world”. Whaa? No Irish Whip? No Atomic Leg Drop?

Ray Ray Rafool retorted with a full-blown…”No, it’s not a free world. It’s called professionalism”. Awww snap!

What Rihanna Could Learn From Tina Turner

Posted to Relevant News by Jill Brooke on Thu, 03/12/2009 - 9:56am

Rihanna needs to have a talk with Tina Turner.

A generation ago, Turner left her abusive husband, Ike Turner, and not only survived, but thrived. Indeed, in songs such as “What’s Love Got To Do With It?”, Turner was able to carve out a new future for herself as well as a stable relationship that has endured over 20 years. Her story also became a cautionary tale for other women and created a national dialogue on the realities of domestic abuse.

Rihanna’s problems are clearly deep-rooted, as are those of most abuse victims. As former special crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein recently said, the reasons women stay with those that hit and beat them are not always understandable. But it seems that the outpouring of anger towards Rihanna’s boyfriend Chris Brown may be shaking her from a stupor.
