Call him New Kid on the chopping block.

Donnie Wahlberg's wife of more than eight years, Kim Fey Wahlberg, has filed for divorce from the comeback-minded boy bander, citing the ever popular "irreconcilable differences."

And while his missus was filing divorce papers in Los Angeles Superior Court on Aug. 13, the 39-year-old singer was doing the same in Ventura County.

The couple have apparently been living separate lives for much longer, with the court documents indicating they have been estranged since January.

"I can confirm that the couple are divorcing," Wahlberg's publicist told E! News. "They have been separated for almost a year but remain close friends."

Phil Collins' ex-wife may no longer be in his heart, but she'll definitely always have a place in his bank account.

The easy-rocking star has waved good-bye to marriage No. 3 and hello to a reported $46.68 million divorce settlement which, if accurate, shapes up to be the biggest ever celeb payout in British legal history, trumping even the astronomical amount Heather Mills received—said to be $45.37 million—from Paul McCartney earlier this year.

Collins, 57, and Orianne Cevey, 35, were married for seven years before separating in 2006. They have two children together, sons Nicolas, 8, and Matthew, 4.

When it comes to the current real estate market, David Hasselhoff has the law on his side.

A Los Angeles judge, apparently falling on the side of expedience, has listed the actor's 10,000-square-foot Encino manse for $5.95 million—more than the Hoff wanted as an asking price but far less than the nearly $8 million his ex-wife, Pamela Bach, was willing to try for.

It's not turning out to be the best week for Morgan Freeman. Though, on the bright side, he has a rock-solid excuse for issuing as many "no comments" as he sees fit.

Just four days after a scary vehicle-flipping, surgery-requiring crash comes news that the 71-year-old Oscar winner is engaged in a "divorce action" with his wife of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee.

Freeman's business partner and attorney Bill Luckett broke the news, telling the Memphis Commercial-Appeal newspaper there is a "divorce action pending," but refusing to give further details.

Luckett added that the actor and his wife, a costumer, has been separated for the better part of the past year.

The Dixie Chicks are minus one rooster.

The divorce of Emily Robison, the banjo-picking Chick, and her estranged husband of nine years, country crooner Charlie Robison, was finalized Wednesday, eight months after he first filed for divorce and well before anyone realized the duo had separated.

The San Antonio Express News first reported the marital demise, claiming both Robisons were present at the Bexar County Courthouse yesterday when their single status was restored.

A rep for Charlie Robison told the paper that he and his Grammy-winning wife "remain close friends, and their family is the priority and will continue to be."

Alex Rodriguez is trying to go down without much of his fight. (No, we're not referring to his postseason play.)

In court documents filed Thursday, the Yankees slugger admits to much of what was set forth by estranged wife Cynthia Rodriguez in the divorce petition she filed earlier this month, including her characterization of their five-year marriage as "irretrievably broken" (he makes mention in court docs of a certain Material acquaintance or any dalliances) and that Cynthia is a "loving and nurturing mother."

Notably, he denied her challenge of their prenuptial agreement, drawn up once upon a time to protect baseball's highest paid player from potentially coffer-draining situations such as this one.

Charlie Sheen can walk all the red carpets he wants. But Denise Richards has never promised to make it easy for him.

An attorney for the Denise Richards: It's Complicated star was in court today to seek an emergency protective order to alter the ex-spouses' current custody and visitation arrangement with their two young daughters, Lola and Sam, Sheen's longtime attorney, Martin Singer, told E! News.

“She has always tried that, not withstanding her public statements to the contrary,” he said. “[In public} she always states it is good for the children to have her father with the kids, but [in private] put she is constantly trying to deprive Charlie from seeing the children. I guess it’s good for her reality show.”

First thing's first: Al Reynolds is not gay. He does, however, take pride in an appearance that's "cleaner than the board of health."

Second thing's second: He's also still in love with Star Jones.

In a series of three You Tube videos designed to set the record—and his sexuality—straight, Reynolds speaks out for the first time since his divorce from the former View cohost was announced in April, saying the demise of his marriage makes him "very sad" and that his relationship with Jones is currently loitering at "cordial."

"There are days when i'm like, 'Wow.' I still wear my ring. It hasn't settled in yet. I still love her," he says.

Just making sure the paparazzi aren't on A-Rod's payroll…

The estranged wife of New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez has demanded that her hubby's camp come clean on whether it's made any attempts to have her followed or to listen in on her conversations to add fuel to their already fiery divorce proceedings.

According to a routine motion filed last week in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, Cynthia Rodriguez is asking for any tape recordings, photographs, reports from investigators and all other evidence of shadowing "or other electronic surveillance conducted by [Alex] or others on [his] behalf."

After a week of mud slinging, therapist dissing, porn exposing and affair disclosing, Christie Brinkley and estranged husband Peter Cook just cried uncle.

Lawyers for the battle-weary twosome pulled an all-nighter before emerging with an exit strategy about 6:15 a.m., Brinkley's lawyer's, Robert Stephan Cohen, told the court.

A beaming Brinkley, 54, seemed relieved as she appeared at the Central Islip, N.Y., courthouse.

"I'm really glad today that we found some peace," said Brinkley, conspicuously modeling a a pair of peace-sign earrings. "It's a very bittersweet moment. It really is the death of the marriage."

She also said she was "happy" about the outcome.

No wonder.

Dealing with the fallout of her husband's betrayal didn't feel like a death to just Christie Brinkley, it felt like one to her friends, too.

The erstwhile cover girl took the stand during the second day of testimony in her public divorce trial from philandering architect Peter Cook Thursday, testifying as to her confrontation with Cook and subsequent reaction after learning of his affair with an 18-year-old staffer.

"I just said to Peter, 'How could you?' " she said on the stand, making her testimony all the more poignant by choosing that moment to look at Cook head-on for the first time in the two-day trial.

What a tangled web we weave when first we talk about Madonna's men.

While the Queen of Pop, fresh off a happy and photo op-ready reunion with hubby Guy Ritchie, already took pains to disavow anything more than a platonic relationship between herself and Yankee star Alex Rodriguez, a blast from Madge's past is joining in the denial act, this time concerning a rumored relationship with Rodriguez's suddenly estranged wife.

"There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself," Lenny Kravitz said in a statement today. "This is unequivocally 100 percent not true."
