Hey Sean Penn: Are you willing to throw your spouse and kids under a bus to win the divorce battle?
I just read on TMZ that Sean Penn is the plaintiff in this divorce. Apparently he is the one who served Robin with a petition for separation. The grounds? Irreconcilable differences. But get this: he apparently checked the box that asks the judge NOT to award spousal support to his wife and to make her pay her own attorney's fees. Say it isn't so, [...]
Sean Penn divorce/separation back on?
Sean Penn and Robin Wright hit skids? Again? At the Oscars this year, I got a very bad vibe when Sean Penn won the Oscar, Robin had to grab him by the face and exact her kiss, then he proceeded to go on the stage and markedly failed to thank her WHILE SHE CRIED for the joy of his win. I got a very bad vibe indeed. Read what I said here: [...]

CALIFORNIA: Is the state of California to blame for the “divorce epidemic” hitting the United States?
I was reading here that the State of California is singularly responsible for the divorce epidemic in America due to the "no fault" laws which were first promulgated in California and copied around the country, except for New York which is still a "no fault" state. The argument is that by making it so easy to obtain a divorce, the California [...]
No, divorce is not sexy but you are
I guess sex is at the epicenter of a lot of divorces. And part of the reason is that couples need to have more dialogue about the subject. I am not the person to talk to about this topic because I am not...I find it difficult to have a serious discussion about this issue in this context. I degenerate to saying ridiculous things, and then I start [...]
Did former Net Jayson Williams attempt suicide because of the divorce filing?
I don' t remember where I read this, but I read it last night that former basketball star Jayson Williams had to be shot by the police with a taser gun in a Manhattan hotel room because he was acting crazy and had all these pills and alcohol and appeared to be suicidal....wait. I hope to god I didn't dream that. I am pretty sure I read it last [...]

Is your marriage suffering due to strain of “swine flu?” or other virus? What symptoms do you have?
I am such a trendsetter I can't stand it. I know. Shut up woman nobody wants to hear your crap (people write in and tell me this and it cracks me up. I'm like, who invited you to my party anyway? Get out!). But seriously, sometimes, I come up with some stuff that self-amazes. Like this winter, in January, I wrote this post about the Divorce Virus [...]
