While her sister’s romance heats up, Ashlee Simpson’s has hit the ice. The singer filed for divorce from her husband of two and half years, Pete Wentz.

We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our No. 1 priority. We ask that everyone honor our privacy as we navigate this next phase of our lives.”

Simpson, 26, cited “irreconcilable differences” on documents filed with the L.A. Superior Court on Tuesday, and is seeking spousal support. She is also seeking full primary physical custody of their 2-year-old son, Bronx, with visitation for Wentz, and dropping the hyphenated Wentz from her last name.

Eva Longoria Files for Divorce from Tony Parker

I feel like I have been reporting so many good things from the land of Hollywood lately. Engagements, babies, royal engagements, but of course, we are talking about celebrities. Some bad news has to be whiffed out among all the celebrations.  This breaking divorce news comes from an unexpected, seemingly solid couple- Eva Longoria and Tony Parker. People.com confirmed that Longoria, 35, filed the documents at the Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, citing “irreconcilable differences” for the split. Parker, 28, and a NBA star for the San Antonio Spurs, has been accused of infidelity in the media in the past weeks. This is not the first time Parker has been accused of cheating on his Desperate Housewives wife, just a year earlier more rumors were going around that Parker had been unfaithful, but Longoria stayed by his side.

The couple became engaged in November 2006 and married in a fairytale wedding at the 17^th century castle Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte on July 7, 2007. Court documents show that Longoria is seeking spousal support from Parker.

Who’s ready for another royal wedding? It’s official: after eight years of dating Prince William and Kate Middleton are set to marry! No date has been revealed yet, only that the wedding will occur sometime next spring or summer. I hadn’t been born yet when Prince Charles married Princess Diana in 1981, but from the pictures and videos I have seen, it truly was the wedding of the century. I am looking forward to seeing how Prince William and the soon to be Princess Kate stack up.

The official statement of the engagement:

The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton.

The wedding will take place in the Spring or Summer of 2011, in London. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.

Prince William and Miss Middleton became engaged in October during a private holiday in Kenya. Prince William has informed The Queen and other close members of his family. Prince William has also sought the permission of Miss Middleton’s father.
