Well, here we go again… more divorcing couples in Tinseltown.
This time it’s Christina Applegate’s split from husband, actor Johnathon Schaech that’s making headlines. Though, I’m not exactly sure why.
Applegate’s credits include “Married With Children” and “Anchorman.” Oh, and she is returning to the small screen in “Samantha Who?” on ABC this fall. As for Schaech, other than a bit part in “How To Make An American Quilt” I’m not sure where he fits into the Hollywood mix.
The pair was married for four years and they no children… so why is their split making the news?
Perhaps it was because they decided to NOT bicker over splitting the property (unlike some other big name couples, one of which I will refer to later). According to court papers, Applegate gets both their Los Angeles homes and a Lexus. Meanwhile, Schaech gets to keep a 2001 Mercedes-Benz, and wants a cement Buddha that’s in Applegate’s possession.
If only things were that simple for Michael and Dina Lohan. The parents of troubled star Lindsay Lohan finally agreed on Friday to resolve their differences and come to a conclusion to their protracted divorce without going to trial.
The estranged pair has been at it for more than a year now. Michael Lohan, who has been barred from seeing his three youngest children with Dina, has gone to court several times to obtain visitation rights. They have also made numerous court appearances to try to resolve monetary issues as well. (Dina claims her ex hasn’t paid a cent of child support. Michael claims he doesn’t have a job. A judge recently ordered him to provide proof that he is seeking employment.)
And now the back and forth may soon be coming to an end. According to news reports, on Friday a judge gave the couple a week to reach an agreement before meeting in court again. If no agreement is met, the case will proceed to trial.
Meanwhile, their daughter sits in a rehab center in Utah…
