Singers Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale to divorce: reports

LOS ANGELES | Singer Gwen Stefani has filed for divorce from rockstar husband Gavin Rossdale after 13 years of marriage, several news reports said on Monday.

In her divorce petition, Stefani, 45, cited irreconcilable differences and asked for joint custody of the couple’s three children, 9-year-old Kingston, 6-year-old Zuma and 1-year-old Apollo, celebrity websites TMZ and People.com said.

Rossdale, 49, filed his response at the same time and also asked for joint custody, TMZ reported.

Neither Stefani nor Rossdale’s attorneys immediately responded to emails seeking comment.

The couple has been together for about two decades, meeting when Stefani’s band No Doubt toured with Rossdale’s band Bush in 1995, People.com reported. They dated for six years before they wed in 2002.

“While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment,” the couple told the website in a statement.

Beyonce, Jay-Z top Forbes list of highest-earning celebrity couples

NEW YORK | With estimated earnings of $95 million, pop singer Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay Z are the highest-earning celebrity couple for the second consecutive year, Forbes magazine said on Thursday.

Beyonce’s “Mrs. Carter” tour and Jay Z’s million-selling “Watch the Throne” album and world tour, both a collaboration with rapper Kanye West, pushed the musical couple ahead of model Gisele Bundchen and her football-player husband Tom Brady, who pulled in $80 million and retained the No. 2 position.

Acting couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, with $50 million, jumped up one spot from last year to third place. The earnings were based on the period from June 2012 to June 2013.

Forbes said Beyonce, 32, earned $11 million more than her husband due to her successful world tour, which grossed an average of about $2 million per show.

Jay Z’s latest top-selling album “Magna Carta … Holy Grail” was released on July 4 and was not eligible to count toward his earnings.

In addition to their musical earnings, Jay Z, 43, sold his stake in the Brooklyn Nets basketball team and has started his own sports agency. Beyonce upped her takings with a clothing line and fragrances.

Former co-stars on the TV comedy “That ’70s Show” Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis came in fourth with $35 million, followed by new parents, reality TV star Kim Kardashian and West, who collectively earned $30 million.

Forbes compiled the list by talking to agents, producers, managers and other informed people. Fees and taxes were not subtracted from the estimates.

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Are Married

It's been nearly a year since they were first publicly linked – and now Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are husband and wife.

A source confirms to PEOPLE that the couple tied the knot Sunday night at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., just outside of Charleston.

The reception took place in a white tent at the plantation on Sunday evening. Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine), a good friend of the Gossip Girl star, performed three songs live, and there was also a deejay who spun tunes. PEOPLE also confirmed that a cake was being driven down from Virginia for the event.

Lively's mother and sister were also spotted in town, and a source told PEOPLE that the two had dinner in Charleston with Bette Midler earlier in the weekend.

Reps for the two actors had no comment.




Lively and Reynolds have been in nesting mode since buying a home in Bedford, N.Y., earlier this year. They have subsequently been seen working out together at a local gym, as well as spending quality time with their families in New York and Vancouver, where Reynolds, PEOPLE's 2010 Sexiest Man Alive, was born.

The two, who costarred together in 2011's Green Lantern, have stayed relatively mum about their relationship, though Lively, 25, did tell Marie Claire this summer, "It's definitely attractive when a man can dress well."

Reynolds, 35, was previously married to Scarlett Johansson. The couple divorced in 2010 after two years of marriage.

This is the first marriage for Lively, who previously dated her Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley.

Mon Tulfo speaks out on 'T3' - 'People have seen the real Raymart, the real Claudine'

MANILA, Philippines - Columnist and broadcaster Ramon "Mon" Tulfo, who was involved in a brawl with celebrity couple Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barreto at NAIA Terminal 3 on Sunday, appeared Monday evening on 'T3', the primetime public service program on TV5 hosted by Tulfo's younger brothers, Erwin, Ben and Raffy.

However, the three brothers, after expressing their support for Mon, inhibited from interviewing their eldest sibling, citing ethical considerations. Instead, they gave way for Atty. Mel Sta. Maria, TV5's resident legal analyst, to conduct the interview.

It was about Cebu Pacific at first

Tulfo reiterated to Sta. Maria his initial assertions that he was merely taking pictures of Barretto after chancing upon her berating ground crew of Cebu Pacific.

He said that he was in fact initially pleased to see someone standing up to Cebu Pacific. "Mabuti at nakahanap ng katapat ang CebuPac. Ilang beses ko ng tinuligsa ang Cebu Pac. Mabuti naman at mayrong marunong umangal sa CebuPac," Tulfo said. (It was a good thing to see, someone standing up to CebuPac. I had criticized the airline many times before. It was good that someone was complaining.)

But then Tulfo suggested that Barretto was becoming abusive in her language, supposedly threatening to use her influence to have the ground crew fired. Tulfo said he started taking pictures with his cellphone.

At this point, Santiago supposedly accosted him, and tried to confiscate his cellphone. He refused, shoved Santiago, and that, he said, is what triggered the brawl.

Santiago and Barretto had earlier insisted that Tulfo gave Santiago more than a shove. They also said Tulfo kicked Barretto without provocation. Santiago said he was merely defending his wife.

No room for apologies, for now

Atty. Sta. Maria asked Tulfo if he would accept an apology from the celebrity couple.

"Mahirap siguro ngayon. Masyado akong nadehado eh. Mabuti pa kung fair fight yun eh.” Tulfo said. (It's hard at the moment. I was at a disadvantage. It would be different if it were a fair fight.)

He said he owed a debt of gratitude to the eyewitness who posted a video of the brawl on YouTube. The video shows Tulfo getting beaten up, while he was being held back by airport security.

Message for Claudine, Raymart and listeners

Tulfo had this message for Santiago and Barretto: "Kung ano yung pinoproject niyo sa camera – mabait, wholesome, matulungin sa kapwa, ganun dapat pinapakita niyo sa totoong buhay." (However you project yourselves in front of the camera - kind, wholesome, helpful - that's how you should be in real life.)

Tulfo then asked the television audience to "not judge people too quickly." He said some people assume the worst of the Tulfos, especially given their public persona as no-nonsense critics of abusive and incompetent officials and people in power.
