Scarlett Johansson not entirely over divorce from Ryan Reynolds

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson may have moved on with a new beau, ad man Nate Naylor, but that doesn't mean ex-husband Ryan Reynolds is just somebody that she used to know.

"I don't feel on the other side of it completely, but it gets better," she told Vogue regarding her divorce, which the couple announced in December 2010 and finalized the following July, leaving the world tragically deprived of what might have been genetically perfect offspring.

"It's still there. More than anything, it's just that not having your buddy around all the time is weird."

Aww. OK, that almost, almost makes up for the dating-Sean-Penn thing, which started after the marriage was declared done but ended before her divorce was final ("I never put a title on it, really, but we were seeing each other," she told the mag).  

"This was something I never thought I would be doing," she said of the split. "And there's no way to navigate it. ... It's a very lonely thing. It's like the loneliest thing you’ll ever do, in some way."

Not to worry: Johansson has plenty of company coming up on the big screen, where she'll star with Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner and Gwyneth Paltrow in  "The Avengers," opening May 4.

Marc Anthony files for divorce from Jennifer Lopez

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez

Marc Anthony has put the legal machinery in motion, officially filing for divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

In the petition, filed Monday with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Anthony seeks dissolution for "irreconcilable differences," along with joint physical and legal custody of the couple's 4-year-old twins, Max and Emme.

As for the money? Well, that's to be determined, as Anthony "has not yet determined the full nature and extent of his separate assets and debts," according to divorce documents obtained by TMZ. Legal costs are to be paid by the separate parties, and he's suggesting she not seek spousal support.

The couple announced their split last July, making it two failed marriages for him and three for her.

Since then Lopez, 42, has moved on with dancer Casper Smart, who celebrated his 25th birthday recently by receiving a customized truck as a gift from his lady friend. Anthony, 43, and Venezuelan model Shannon de Lima went public with a relationship earlier this year.

Anthony and Lopez continue to work together on "Q'Viva," searching for new Latin American talent.

Heidi Klum files for divorce from Seal

Heidi Klum has filed for divorce from Seal

Heidi Klum filed for divorce from Seal on Friday in L.A., making official what we knew was coming since they announced their separation back in January.

It's all pretty standard stuff, according to various reports, with Klum citing "irreconcilable differences," seeking joint legal and primary physical custody of their four children, and asking for her legal name to be changed back from Heidi Samuel — Henry Samuel being Seal's legal name.

According to TMZ, which first reported the news, the couple signed a post-nuptial agreement separating assets, so there's no community-property split to be hashed out.

A couple of days after the couple said they were dunzo, when both were still wearing their wedding bands, Seal kept alive the idea of reconciliation. "Is it irreparable?," he told Piers Morgan on CNN. "You can never say never. The thing I love most about us is that we are a team ... that won't change, whether we get back together or not."

Alas, it's looking like "not."

Peter Facinelli files for divorce from Jennie Garth

Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth

Peter Facinelli on Wednesday filed for divorce from Jennie Garth, and she in turn filed her response, making official the relationship bombshell they dropped two weeks back.

The paperwork reportedly came over the Los Angeles Superior Court transom 15 days after the couple, who have three children together, announced their plans to separate after 11 years of marriage.

"While we have decided to end our marriage, we both share the same deep love and devotion to our children," Facinelli and Garth said at the time in a joint statement. "We remain dedicated to raising our beautiful daughters together. We ask for privacy and respect during this time."

The reason given for the split was irreconcilable differences, apparently revolving in large part around the toll Facinelli's work schedule took on their marriage. The "Twilight Saga" and "Nurse Jackie" star was commuting to Vancouver, Canada, and New York during the week, returning to California most weekends to the family home in Santa Ynez, Garth told People. The day after announcing their split, the couple publicly denied rumors of infidelity, calling them "hurtful."

When Facinelli asked Garth last fall for a divorce, she was "very resistant," she said.

"I didn't want it to happen," she told the mag. "It took me some time to come to peace with it."

The divorce documents give the couple's separation date as Jan. 1 of this year. They are, according to TMZ, seeking joint physical and legal custody of daughters Luca, 14, Lola, 9, and 5-year-old Fiona. She is requesting her legal name be changed back to Jennie Garth from Jennie Facinelli.

Dennis Quaid's wife, Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, files for divorce

Dennis Quaid

Dennis Quaid's third wife, Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, has reportedly filed for divorce, asking for spousal support and attorney's fees.

"The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities ... that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation," said the divorce filing, obtained by TMZ.

The two have a temporary custody agreement in place as well, the website said, giving each party time with the young kids. Kimberly reportedly has custody of their main home.

Quaid was previously married to actress P.J. Soles, divorcing in 1983, and more famously to Meg Ryan. He and Ryan split in 2001 after 10 years of marriage.

Bubbling up at the same time as the divorce filing, courtesy of the New York Daily News, is an allegation of Valentine's Day monkey business on Quaid's part, according to tweets from Serena Williams' practice partner Sascha Bajin. Bajin, who has since taken down the tweets, said Quaid stole his date at a party in L.A. thrown by the tennis star. A rep for Quaid told the Daily News that "someone's imagination is getting away from them. Dennis was with friends that night."

Quaid relocated to Austin, Texas, last year with Buffington-Quaid and their twins, saying, "L.A. has been good to us, but at this point in my life I'm ready to try something new." The couple were married in July 2004.

Katy Perry, Russell Brand make nice with divorce settlement

Russell Brand and Katy Perry

"Russell Brand to Katy Perry: I don't need your stinking millions!!!" That's the headline that really wasn't, as Brand and Perry have reached a property agreement in their divorce so amicable that Katy signed the papers with a heart and a smiley face on the dotted line.

He really didn't want the money he would have been entitled to under California's community property laws -- which would have included half of the $44 million she reportedly earned while they were Mr. and Mrs., according to TMZ. (Brand would have had to split his multimillion-dollar haul as well, of course, but she was the big breadwinner during the marriage.)

"This divorce is as amicable as it gets, and Russell was a mensch," a source told the website.

The couple, who split up late last year, "have entered into a comprehensive written settlement of all issues, including, without limitation, with respect to the property to be confirmed or assigned to each party," said to court papers filed Tuesday in Los Angeles.

In the document obtained by TMZ, Katy's response to Russell's Dec. 30 divorce filing, the idea of spousal support is nixed, the property resolution is declared and Ms. Perry indicates a desire to go back to her maiden name, Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson. Now it's just a matter of time until the divorce is made final.

So really, the headline should be something more like, "Russell Brand and Katy Perry: We don't need your stinking divorce court!!!"

Refreshing.

Demi Moore seeks treatment for 'exhaustion,' 'overall health'

Demi Moore

Demi Moore is seeking professional help — the actress, whose split from husband Ashton Kutcher has fueled more than a few headlines in recent months, is getting treatment after reportedly visiting a local hospital Monday night.

"Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health," her rep confirmed Tuesday. "She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends."

A 911 call reportedly made late Monday night resulted in Moore being taken by paramedics to a local hospital, according to TMZ, which cited law-enforcement sources who alleged the treatment was for substance abuse. Substance abuse was not confirmed Tuesday.

Despite the recent drama in Moore's personal life, appearance and attitude at CAA's pre-Golden Globes bash Jan. 13 gave little or no clue that something might be awry. Moore and Madonna sat out on the rear patio with some agent types, staying cool even when a newly beard-free Ashton Kutcher breezed in.

Seal discusses split from Heidi Klum like a man in love [Video]

Seal with Ellen DeGeneres

Seal is publicly discussing his split from Heidi Klum, throwing around some pretty powerful language with Ellen DeGeneres: words like dignity, civility, respect, love.

He certainly doesn't sound like a guy who's breaking up with anyone, despite the separation that was rumored over the weekend and announced Monday.

Seal showered Klum with praise on Ellen's show, calling her this "great woman who I married" and noting that she'd given him "four wonderful gifts" in the form of their young children. But, he said, "You just grow apart after a while."

About the separation -- he was still wearing his wedding ring and said he had no plan to take it off soon -- "We were shocked because you go into these things with the greatest intentions, you know, when you say 'I do,' when you say 'Till death do us part,' those vows hold value. They're not just words."

Indeed, he and Klum had renewed their vows annually in the company of friends. "But these things happen," he said. 

Though the word divorce hasn't been mentioned by Seal and wasn't said by the couple in their statement Monday, that's what Klum is planning, TMZ reports, adding info from sources who said Seal's temper and their careers played parts in the split.

The full interview airs Tuesday on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

Heidi Klum and Seal splitting up after seven years together

Seal and Heidi Klum are separating

Heidi Klum and Seal -- are they splitting up? That was the question over the weekend, and on Sunday the couple confirmed the news: After seven years together, they are calling it quits.

"We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart," the two told People exclusively in announcing their split.

The couple went their separate ways the Saturday night of Klum's 13th annual Halloween extravaganza. The "Project Runway" host showed up in Las Vegas as a dead body stripped of skin, while Seal was out on tour in Belgium. They teamed up that Monday as apes, however, for a second Halloween fest in New York City, held on the actual holiday. Klum recently attended the Golden Globe Awards solo.

In their statement, they described their relationship as "seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage," and their split as "amicable." The two had renewed their vows before friends each year, after he'd proposed with a massive rock in December 2004. They married five months later.

On the more gossipy side of things, sources told TMZ that any "third party" involved in the split may have been Seal's hot temper, combined with their careers taking them in different directions. "It was a long time in coming," one source told the website. Though the couple's statement says they're separating, TMZ is saying a divorce is in the cards.

The couple have four kids, three of them together: Leni, 7, Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and newest daughter Lou, 2. Seal in 2009 adopted Leni, Heidi's daughter from a previous relationship.

Mena Suvari files for divorce from Simone Sestito

Mena Suvari in December 2011

Mena Suvari filed for divorce Friday after just 18 months of marriage to concert promoter Simone Sestito.

The papers, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, cite “irreconcilable differences,” indicate the pair separated in November 2011 and request no alimony payments for Sestito, TMZ reports.

The “American Horror” actress also wants her old name back -- that would be Suvari, rather than Suvari-Sestito.

PHOTOS: Short celebrity marriages

Suvari, 32, and Sestito, 26, wed at a private church in Vatican City in 2010 after a romance that started at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival. This will be Suvari's second divorce. The "American Beauty" and her first husband, cinematographer Robert Brinkmann, ended their five-year marriage in 2005.

The couple follow in the footsteps of other high profile couples such as Katy Perry and Russell Brand, who split recently after less than two years together.
