The papers, filed by Wright Penn in a Marin County court on August 12, state that “both parties have already agreed to [shared] custody” of their son, Hopper Jack, 16, and that they have “already agreed to division of all property.”

“Irreconcilable differences” was listed as the reason behind the split.

This is the second time the Penn’s have filed papers for a divorce since their 1996 marriage, with the couple previously reconciling as recently as May of this year.

Lawyers for both parties weren’t readily available for comment.

The bitter war between Hulk Hogan and his wife of 23 years, Linda Hogan, has finally come to an end, with the pair announcing that they have reached a settlement in their mammoth divorce case.

Hogan and Linda announced their divorce agreement at a brief hearing in Clearwater, Fla., on Tuesday, nearly two years after Linda first filed for divorce.

“We’ve reached a marital settlement agreement,” Linda’s attorney, Ray Rafool, told the judge.

Hogan’s rep released a statement to the media on the case, and said: “Hulk is looking forward to moving on with his life and is very hopeful that he and Linda can maintain a friendship and work together as parents of their two children.”

Outside the courtroom, Linda told the waiting paparazzi, “The war is over.”

The couple, who married in 1983, have two children – Nick and Brooke – the latter of which took over her father’s reality television show, Hogan Knows Best, when her parents’ martial troubles came to light.

Disney’s little sweetheart Miley Cyrus looks set to celebrate her 16th birthday with a divorce from her parents.

The Hannah Montana star is rumoured to be “in discussions” with her attorney in regards to the divorce, and will file a Petition of Emancipation form after having numerous disagreements with her parents – Billy Ray and Tish – over new beau Justin Gaston.

Billy Ray is said to be having “reservations” over his daughter’s romance with Gaston, who’s more than 4 years old than Miley.

“He also thinks Justin is a bit of a mooch and doesn’t want him taking advantage of Miley,” a friend said.

According to another friend, Miley was left “in tears” after Papa Cyrus ordered her to stop seeing the 20-year-old model. It was this fight, among others, that prompted Miley to go through with the legal emancipation.

“She’s totally crazy about [Justin] and isn’t letting him go anywhere,” the pal explained. “Miley told her dad to back off. She is sick of him trying to hold her down, and feels she is old enough to make her own decisions.”

Once the “divorce” from her parents is finalised, Miley will have total control over her career, finances, and personal decisions.

“[Miley] thinks it’s high time she started living like an adult,” the friend added. “Although she loves her parents, she no longer wants to be treated like a child.”

Does that mean we’ll see double the “leaked” soft porn pictures from Miley’s private MySpace collection once the divorce goes through??

The epic battle between exes Madonna and Guy Ritchie is over before it even really began!

According to the BBC, Madge and Ritchie have reached a settlement, and “will be granted a preliminary divorce decree” at the High Court in London on Friday, which means that in six weeks and a day, their divorce will be made final and official.

The split between one of Hollywood’s super couples has been fairly benign, all things considered. Not too many nasty comments in the media, and, according to reports, a nice, amicable settlement where both parties involved get to keep their respective dosh.

Despite the fact that Ritchie was entitled – by law – to a portion of Madonna’s fortune, he will walk away from the marriage with only a meager amount of Madge’s estimated $500 million wealth.

“[Madonna] walked away without any of his money, much to her credit,” a friend said. “[Ritchie] has done the same.”

Likewise, the pair will share custody of their two children – Rocco, 8, and the adopted David, 3 – while Madonna’s daughter Lourdes (who’s not Ritchie’s biological child) will remain in America with her mother.

Another friend revealed: “[Ritchie] could have hugely boosted his bank balance and set himself up for life, but he already feels he has enough money.

“He also didn’t want the whole thing dragging on in the public gaze for months and months and, in any case, his priority was the children’s future.”

However, a source close to the couple insists this picture-perfect view of the settlement couldn’t be further from the truth, with Ritchie set to “clean up” once everything becomes final.

“[Guy's] going to get a huge windfall, contrary to what’s being reported,” the source said. “He’s getting a lot of money from the settlement. He’s not the gentleman he’s portraying himself as.”

And Madonna’s been flouncing around with A-Rod since before the divorce was announced in October, so I guess that means neither one of them is a gentleman…

Peaches Geldof has denied that she and her singer husband Max Drummey are getting a divorce, but has admitted that their marriage is experiencing some problems.

A friend of Peaches revealed earlier today that divorce proceedings had started, but a spokesperson for the 19-year-old insists this isn’t the case.

“Like most couples, Peaches and Max have their ups and downs, and things might be said in the heat of the moment,” said Geldof’s spokesperson.

“But they are still together and they are not divorcing.”

Yet.

Peaches Geldof is set to divorce her young hubby after just 96 days of marriage.

The 19-year-old cocaine addict allegedly dumped her rocker husband Max Drummey on Wednesday, after cancelling a gig in London so she could fly to New York and give the 24-year-old the bad news.

A friend of Peaches said, “She realised it was all a mistake – and her dad Sir Bob is delighted.”

According to pals, Peaches is calling her marriage of three months quits because she’s bored with her husband and doesn’t “fancy” him anymore.

“It’s over,” Peaches told her friends. “I just don’t fancy him any more.”

A source close to the British teenager confirmed the split, adding that the habitual drug user and her lawyers would be meeting to flesh out the divorce very soon.

“Peaches is going to divorce Max,” the source said. “She woke up to realise the marriage was a huge mistake and that Max is not the man of her dreams.

“She doesn’t fancy him any more, and wants to move on. To her it is as simple as that. She just wants to divorce him and find a new boyfriend.”

Max, however, isn’t taking news of the divorce very well at all.

“Max is heartbroken,” the source added. “He has been through the mill in the last three months, but there is nothing he can do. He genuinely believed marriage was a long term commitment, but Peaches has shattered his dreams.”

According to a pal, Peaches was warned not to rush into marriage with Drummey.

“We all warned her not to rush into this but Peaches, being as defiant and cocky as ever, just ploughed in head first.

“Over the past few weeks they hardly spent any time together in America. When they did they both got on each other’s nerves. None of Peaches’ friends is surprised by what’s happened.”

Peaches herself has admitted that she never thought the marriage was for keeps. Just three weeks ago, the 19-year-old confessed that she didn’t marry Max to be together forever.

“I didn’t go into [marriage] with Max thinking, ‘This is going to last forever.’ But I did go in thinking, ‘I love him right now and I know I will continue to love him for a long while.’”

Apparently, that “long while” was 96 days.

Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has been given a leave of absence from the national cricket team, and will miss the upcoming one-day series against Bangladesh, to deal with his dissolving marriage.

Lee’s manager Neil Maxwell cited a “family issue” as the reason for his withdrawl from the Australian squad, but sources say the sportsman is actually going through a divorce with wife of two years, podiatrist Liz Kemp.

Just days after he was involved in a serious car accident, Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman and his wife of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee, have decided to part ways.

Freeman’s business partner Bill Luckett broke the news to Access Hollywood, telling the media agent that the couple “are invovled in a divorce action.”

According to Luckett, the Dark Knight star and his wife have not been living together for some time.

“For legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007,” Luckett added.

The 71-year-old actor is still recovering in a Memphis hospital after the car accident that almost claimed his life, and is expected to be released within the week. He underwent surgery yesterday to repair damage and reconnect nerves on his left arm and hand, and is “doing well,” his rep said.

How low will she go for a buck? That is the question you would have to ask about Madonna after this story from TMZ.

All the stories we have been posting about Madonna’s marriage being on the rocks are looking spot on, but never one to let a chance go by, Madonna is trying to use the publicity to boost her world tour as well as make a wad of cash.

Sources claim that the marriage has been over for months, but just because her marriage has broken down, does not mean that Madonna has lost her nose for business, with a well planned series of leaks to fuel the breakup rumors in an attempt to boost sales for her world tour.

With the tour expected to make $300 million, even Guy has agreed to the plan in order to get a bigger cut of the pie.

As reported here, they are expected to announce their divorce in November or December at the conclusion of the tour.

So she has thought out the entire plan for making even more money, but no mention of the effect this will have on her kids.

Classy!

It looks like Nick Cannon’s just realised he’s married pop’s biggest diva.

After just two short months, the marriage between singer Mariah Carey and rapper Nick Cannon is on the verge of breaking. Sources close to the couple claim that Nick is “sick and tired” of his wife’s “diva demands,” and is seriously considering leaving.

“Things are really bad between them,” one source said. “The honeymoon period was over before it began. Nick’s been surprised at just how demanding his wife is.

“He feels like her skivvy and moans she has him waiting on her hand and foot. Of course, they met not long before they decided to get married so there were always going to be things they needed to learn about each other. It appears Nick’s learned he doesn’t like her very much.”

The 38-year-old songstress first met rapper Cannon on a music video in March this year. They wed on April 30, after only a few weeks together.

If Nick decides he really does want out, a divorce lawyer isn’t the only professional he’ll have to visit. Since hooking up with the Honey singer, 27-year-old Cannon has had the name ‘Mariah’ tattooed across his shoulders.

“That’s a problem,” the source added.
