So, it looks like Star Jones Reynolds and hubby Al are calling it quits after just three years.

As you might recall, the former host of "The View" who most recently had a legal show on CourtTV (it bombed), went to great lengths hyping her wedding to the investment banker; she got slammed for having corporate sponsors for the lavish affair.

There were plenty of tabloid reports a while back about Al being gay. And then there was confession, finally, about the gastric bypass surgery. But what we really want to know is: Are they getting divorced because she got too thin?

In order to finance his divorce settlement, Sir Paul McCartney plans to release tunes from the Beatles' catalogue on iTunes. Published reports say the former Beatle may have to pony up $40 to $60 million for a cash settlement to his ex-wife Heather Mills; his legal expenses are estimated at nearly $10 million.

The McCartney/Mills divorce is expected to be finalized in Britain's High Court on March 17.

When your marriage is falling apart, it's urgent to take steps to protect your credit. Divorce ends one relationship, but the one you have with your creditors goes on.

To avoid a drastic hit on your credit score, you need to act in order to weather a financial storm created by divorce.

Financial experts have documented that a woman's credit takes a bigger hit than a man's when a couple splits up. Without a solid credit history in your own name, you won't be able to qualify for re-financing the marital home. And you're also likely to end up with high-interest credit cards and auto loans. Consumer financial guru John Ulzheimer makes the following useful suggestions:

* Pay up joint debts and cancel joint credit cards after you get a card in your own name.

* If joint debts can't be paid off, freeze those accounts so that neither you or your ex can run up more debt.

* If you're merely a credit card user on your spouse's card, remove your name.

* The family home should be sold unless one of you is able to buy out the other by qualifying for a new mortgage.

* Vehicles should be re-titled in each spouse's name, and car loans would have to be paid.

* If your ex is assigned to pay debt and fails to do so or pays late, place the shared accounts online so both of you can verify if the debt is being paid.

* If either of you is unable to pay the monthly bills due to job loss or illness, communicate with creditors to work out an arrangement. Unpaid joint debt will be reported to the three national reporting agencies resulting in lower credit scores.

I think it's good advice to take these precautions to protect your credit. Women especially benefit from these steps. Remember, regardless of a divorce, if there is joint debt — a mortgage, car loan or credit card — you're both on the hook to pay it off.

Forget about those Santa Ana winds. Oscar's embers blew directly into Ann Blanchard's house Tuesday night as Hollywood honchos, TV execs, first and second wives, along with various and sundry well-wishers gathered for a reading of Mimi Schmir's fictional and hilarious "Hot Flashes" blog...

The confab, masterminded by the former William Morris überagent who's now with Mosaic Media, drew Hollywood's finest TV and film actresses who read selections from the blog which chronicles the rollercoaster antics of Schmir's heroine, Esme, a late 40s-ish divorced mother of two. While I wasn't in Ann's parlor experiencing the "Hot Flashes," faux and for-real, firstwivesworld.com's intrepid correspondent reports the evening was a scorcher. Yes, HOT or you know, HOT!

Actresses Amy Brenneman ("Private Practice" and "Judging Amy"); Dana Delany ("Desperate Housewives"); Kathyrn Morris ("Cold Case"); and Natasha Henstridge ("Commander-in-Chief") each morphed into Esme as they read portions of the edgy blog that began on firstwivesworld.com. And they say there aren't any good parts for women?? Huh?!

Schmir, a writer for TV hits "Grey's Anatomy" and "Shark," was feted for her fiesty and comedic portrayal of the daily exploits of a pre-menopausal late 40s mom who's trying to move on with her life after a divorce in which her husband leaves her for a younger model (surprise, surprise). "Hot Flashes" just may be the next "Starter Wife" but there's a difference: "Hot Flashes" started on firstwivesworld.com, yes, the Web baby, and is destined for episodic television.

It might be one of the stickiest situations in a divorce. It doesn't concern the kids, the house or the china: It's the question of who gets the family pet and it can be as complicated as any child custody case. Really.

Take the case of million Marsh Newmark who says he spent $60,000 in battling his ex for custody of their golden Lab mix Rocky. At first, the estranged couple had a shared custody arrangement. Newmark's ex got the dog Monday morning through Thursday night; Newmark got Rocky on the weekends.

The arrangement worked, for the most part, until one day two years ago when his ex's dogwalker told Newmark that Rocky wouldn't be returning. Newmark's ex reportedly accused him of abusing the dog. Low blow. Eventually, Newmark went to court to get custody of the dog but he lost the case and is now appealing. He hasn't seen the dog since last summer.

As bad as a divorce is for the people involved, it just may be worse for the pets. Pets are like children to most people...so the issues involved are nearly as emotional. When a couple who divorces doesn't have kids, the pets are the kids. The thing is, there are so many animals that need good homes, you'd like feuding exes could just go down to animal shelter and choose a new pet.

Oprah spoke with M. Gary Neuman, author and founder of the Sandcastles Program, a program for kids ages six to 17 designed to help them cope with their parents' separation or divorce.

On the show, Oprah and Neuman spoke with kids about the pain of their parents' divorces. In one case, a mother left her two kids in the care of their father, but the pain of her abandonment and rejection remained fresh as both the boy and girl wept openly over the loss.

Kids tend to feel responsible for the rejection of the parent who abandoned them, Neuman said. He told the two siblings on the show that they didn't make their mom go away and they can't make her return.

Neuman told the audience that if kids don't let their emotions out at the time of the split, they will become damaged adults. Frequently boys grow up to experience rage, girls experience chronic depression. "Kids heal through love and connection," Neuman said. "They blame themselves after divorce and secretly think they can fix the divorce."

Neuman said parents should hold their tongues and never criticize one another in front of the kids. Parents should speak to their kids frankly when they have decided to divorce and allow them to ask questions. Spend time listening and talking and afterward, have everyone hold hands and hug.

According to a published report, Sana, 27, and Adnan, 32, Klaric, coined the screen names Slatkica (Sweetie) and Princ radosti (Prince of Joy) when they met online. Sana and Adnan grew closer over the course of several months and shared their marriage problems, hopes and dreams. During the course of their chat, they found understanding and support.

"I was suddenly in love again. It was beautiful, I thought I finally found someone who understands me, and who is in a similar situation — in a bad marriage, like I am," said Sana.

Sweetie and the Prince of Joy believed they found true love so they decided to go on a date. They were shocked to find that they were already well acquainted with one another since they'd been married for a few years. Go figure... Having accused one another of cheating, the couple decided to divorce.

People following the couple's saga urged them to remain together. Whether it was fate or something else at play, something caused this couple to confront one another as cheaters. But when you cheat with your own spouse, is it still cheating? Perhaps it's a form of emotional cheating. What do you think?

And that's more often the case these days. U.S. census data revealed earlier this week that more than half the Americans who might have made it to their 25th wedding anniversaries since 2000 got divorced, separated or widowed before reaching that benchmark. The data reveals that for the first time since World War II, couples who got hitched in the late 1970s had a less-than-even chance of remaining married 25 years later.

You've heard of the seven-year itch, the restlessness that occurs in a marriage after seven years —allegedly — and if not, the brilliant movie starring Marilyn Monroe. These days, some experts think the seven-year itch is happening even earlier, say around three years. People start getting bored, they're looking for an adrenaline boost — a little romance and excitement — the kind you can get from a new partner.

First Wives World's Debbie Nigro commented on the new census data and trends in a piece today on the "CBS Early Show." Debbie noted that one of the problems is that for some people, "commitment" doesn't mean "commitment" any longer, or doesn't mean "commitment" to a single person for life. "It's ‘commitment' until I say it isn't." Marriage, Debbie told the "Early Show," is a "work in progress." To be sure, it is a relationship that requires understanding, empathy and a commitment to working on it throughout your life.

The results of First Wives World's latest poll are in and they're, uh, rather surprising. We asked you how much sex you're having each month and found that 55 percent of the 10,000 divorcées surveyed answered "none."

Another 22 percent of those surveyed said they were "lucky to get it" one to three times a month, 13 percent of the divorced women polled said they had sex three to six times a month. And 11 percent claimed they had "more than I'll ever admit to."

Well, you told us! Now your task for today, along with juggling job, kids, home, social activities and extended family is to go out and cultivate your inner sex goddess. Maybe it's dressing a bit more provocatively (okay, don't go overboard if you're in a conservative office!), saying hello to the guy at the coffee stand or just projecting a beautiful smile. But whatever it is, do it with positive energy and you'll be reeling in men before too long. At least that's what they say!

Thomas W. Weeks III, the minister accused of attacking his televangelist wife in a hotel parking lot, will contest his estranged wife's petition for divorce. Attorneys for Weeks said they're weighing whether the counterclaim will accuse Juanita Bynum of cruel treatment. Bynum accuses Weeks of cruel treatment.

Week's attorney says "cruel treatment" is a vague legal term. It's true. What exactly is "cruel treatment" anyway? It could be any number of things. Who do you believe?

Bynum, a former hairdresser, became a Pentecostal evangelist, author and gospel singer. Her ministry centers around singles turning away from sexual promiscuity. The couple were married in a million-dollar, televised ceremony. That's "tele-evangelism."
