Kelly Rutherford Allowed to Take Son to NYC

Karl Erikson — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 12:32:00 GMT

A judge ruled that Kelly Rutherford, star of the show "Gossip Girl," can take her son Hermes to New York while she films the show. Kelly and husband Daniel Giersch are undergoing what seems to be a nasty divorce, even while Kelly is pregnant with the couple's second child.

Judge Michael Levanas told Kelly she can leave on Sunday with 2-year-old Hermes, and so can Daniel. "This is not a difficult case to judge," said Levanas. "I've got two great parents. I'm only concerned with what is in the best interest of Hermes. The only plan that does not harm Hermes is the one that lets the child see both parents every single day."

Friday was the third day that the couple spent in the court. Kelly filed divorce papers at the end of last year, and she and Daniel have been fighting for custody over Hermes ever since.

"I"m happy," Kelly says "I think the judge made a good decision. Now both of us will be with Hermes and there is much less stress for me, considering I'm pregnant."

Daniel was granted to overnight visits per week for February and three per week for March. The judge also says that Hermes will go back and forth between New York and L.A. for the next couple of months while Kelly and Daniel work out long-term custody.

Gossip Girl Divorce Gets Ugly

Pregnant Kelly Rutherford Files for Divorce

Gossip Girl Divorce Gets Ugly

trix — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:40:00 GMT

Gossip Girl actress, Kelly Rutherford, and her husband and going their separate ways and it's definitely not an amicable split. There has been a lot of back and forth between the two and the accusations are flying.

Daniel Giersch is mad because he feels his kids aren't going to have a stable upbringing while their mom is in New York working on the set of Gossip Girl. He claims that she has a temper and that she threw her laptop at him and tried to hit him with her fist.

The court papers he filed go into more detail about his feelings on the situation: Often times the TV show calls pressuring [her] to leave the hotels, asking her where she is, telling her that she is late and asking her to get into the van [which takes her to the set immediately]. Usually [her] stress causes Hermes to start crying which then causes [her] to be frustrated toward him. I do not believe this is a healthy lifestyle for him."

"(Rutherford) has insisted to sign a new ongoing contract for her television show when, in fact, it would be in our children's best interest if they are able to grow and thrive in a stable home in Los Angeles, rather than a hotel in New York with their mother absent."

That's his side of the story. She on the other hand is claiming that she fears for her sons safety.

She filed emergency papers barring Daniel from leaving the country with her son Hermes. She fears he will leave the country and won't know where they are nor will she be able to find them.

She also told of his admission that there is an investigation in Germany, his home, that could end in an arrest for him.

In reading the court papers and the statements, I'm almost inclined to believe him more than her, even with the case pending in Germany. It might be because it sounds like she just wants to win and he actually wants to take care of the kids.

What do you think?

Patricia Arquette and Thomas Jane Divorcing

Karl Erikson — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:37:00 GMT

"Medium" star Patricia Arquette and her actor husband, Thomas Jane, are getting divorced after just two years. Naturally, the papers show "irreconcilable differences," as expected. Together, Patricia (40) and Thomas (39) have a 5-year-old daughter, Harlow Olivia Calliope.

While this is Thomas' first marriage, it's Patricia's second. Previously, she was married to Nicolas Cage. "Medium" is set to return to NBC some time this season. Thomas, best known for roles in "The Mist" and the original "Punisher" movie, he'll next be seen this year in his directorial debut, "The Dark Country."

Always sad to hear about a celebrity breakup, especially when children are involved. But surprising? Yeah, not so much.

Dylan McDermott and Shiva Rose Have Irreconcilable Differences

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 21 May 2008 23:05:00 GMT

Dylan McDermott has filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Shiva Rose. The couple, who separated in March of 2007, have two daughters, Collette, 12, and Charlotte, 2. Custody will be decided at a later date.

The papers, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, cite the usual 'Irreconcilable Differences' as the reason for the split.

What the hell does that mean? Not to be nosy, but I want some details. Did he leave the toilet seat up too many times? Does she chew with her mouh open? Remember - I ask the uncomfortable questions so you don't have to.

This Jackass Ends His Marriage

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 14:35:00 GMT

Johnny Knoxville, that is. The star of MTV's Jackass filed papers yesterday in Los Angeles to end his nearly twelve-year marriage to wife Melanie and is seeking joint custody of their eleven-year old daughter Madison.

Knoxville (real name Philip John Clapp - who knew?) is citing that standby Hollywood excuse, "irreconcilable differences" for the breakup. In this case, I'd really like to know what the reason was. Did he try to coax daughter Madison to skateboard off the roof blindfolded? Did his wife decide she'd taken him to the ER for the last time after he let someone pound his balls with a meat tenderizer?

Fess up, Mr. Clapp!
