Just a couple days after Christmas, Brendan Fraser announced that he and his wife Afton have separated. Looks like George will be prowling the urban jungle soon!

The two have been married for nine years and have three children together. Fraser's publicist has stated that the two "continue to maintain a close and caring friendship." No word yet on whether he has moved out of the family home, or if divorce papers have even been filed on either's behalf.

Of course, in Hollywood, it's not really over until the papers are filed and those pesky irreconcilable differences are brought to light. Then again, as Pamela Anderson and many others have shown us, filing is no guarantee of a final split, either, though that is much more typical of a nine-week marriage than a nine-year marriage.

Here's hoping that if there is a divorce, they can handle it maturely and do what is best for themselves and for their children. Here's also hoping I see Mr. Fraser on New Year's around 11:59 pm.

Happy New Year everyone!
