Actress Sandra Bullock has finalized her divorce from Jesse James. Bullock filed for divorce on April 23, a month after tabloid reports surfaced that James had been unfaithful to her with a tattoo model named Michelle (Bombshell) McGee.

As if things for NBA star Allen Iverson couldn’t get any worse, his wife of 8 ½ years has filed for divorce.

In her divorce petition, Tawanna Iverson said her marriage to Allen was “irretrievably broken.”She also asked for temporary and permanent custody of their five children, as well as an unspecified amount in alimony and child support. She is also seeking attorney’s fees and an equitable distribution of their marital property.

The divorce filing comes a week after Iverson, who plays for the Philadelphia 76er’s, announced he will not play the rest of season in order to have more time to spend with his sick 4-year-old daughter.

Tawanna’s attorney, John Mayoue, would not comment on what led Tawanna to file for divorce. However, according to the court papers filed by Tawanna, the couple has been living separately.

The divorce petition was filed in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia. The Iversons have lived in the north Atlanta area since August.

An Alaska judge has ordered Levi Johnston to pay Bristol Palin, the daughter of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, $18,000 in past-due child support for their one-year-old son. Palin can also subpoena any of Johnston’s commercial earnings in the future.

Palin had been asking for $1,750 per month since her and Johnston split up. However, at an earlier hearing, Johnston told the judge his income wasn't stable enough to meet Palin’s demands.

Thomas Van Flein, Palin’s attorney, said Bristol is pleased with the judge’s decision.

Palin currently has both phsycial and legal custody on Tripp, but has been working out visitation arrangements with Johnston so he can see his son. Right now he only sees the boy on Saturdays, but they are working on creating a more regular schedule. They hope to have that schedule ready by their next court date, which has been set for September 23. Both Palin and Johnston say they want to put their son first.

In addition to the $18,000 in overdue child support, Johnston must also pay Palin $1,600 a month from here on out.

Kate Walsh, star of the ABC television drama “Private Practice”, has reached a divorce settlement with her former husband, FOX executive Alex Young.

Under the terms of the settlement, Walsh will pay Young a one-time payment of $627,000, along with half of the money she earned from any work she did during the course of their marriage. Walsh and Young were married in September 2007 and filed for separation in November 2008.

Walsh will get to keep the couple’s house and a piano. The rest of their assets will be divided by alternating picks after flipping a coin to determine who will pick first.  If Young doesn’t pick within 10 days then all of the couple’s marital assets will remain with Walsh.

Walsh and Young’s 15-month marriage came to end when Young filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. Walsh also filed for divorce citing the same grounds.
