Here's hoping Katie Holmes finds the old cynical adage true: that divorce costs so much because it's worth it. She could reportedly receive "only" $15 million of her $275-million shared net worth with soon-to-be-ex-husband Tom Cruise. She'll take that bath, if she doesn't want a prolonged custody fight over the pair's six-year-old daughter, Suri.

Nobody who makes $1.8 million in three years without reporting a cent flies under Uncle Sam's radar forever. Former Fugee Lauryn Hill plead guilty Friday to three income tax evasion counts. Hill spent six years in self-imposed isolation for the safety of her six children in which she claims she "deferred" payments she apparently knew she owed.

For all of Adele's bitterness about ex-boyfriends on her hitmaking album "21," she seems to be doing pretty well right now. She has been dating her current boyfriend Simon Konecki for about a year, she has sworn that her next album will be much happier, and... she's pregnant!

June 29, 2012 @ 10:31 am PST    Rock of Ages, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Jack and Jill, Rock of Ages     Andy Neuenschwander    
Are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes dunzo? It's certainly looking that way: TMZ is reporting that the couple is on the verge of divorce, and comments from Holmes' lawyer aren't really doing much to refute the claim. The attorney released a statement saying, "This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family. Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interests.
