    Russell Crowe's highly anticipated, multimillion-dollar 'The Art Of Divorce' auction has begun in Sydney. A breastplate from blockbuster Gladiator sold for $125,000, a replica Roman chariot for $65,000, and a robe Crowe wore in Cinderella Man for $20,000 in the auction's early stages. The auction, which features the sale of movie memorabilia, Australian art, musical instruments, jewellery and cars, is expected to net Crowe anywhere between $2.6 and $3.7million. The 54-year-old devised the auction as a way to deal with the end of his nine-year marriage to Danielle Spencer - following their separation in 2012 - and to clear out...

    Rudy Giuliani and his wife, Judith, are divorcing after 15 years of marriage, the former New York mayor confirmed first to Page Six. Giuliani, who married Judith in 2003, said, “It is with great sadness I can confirm that Judith and I are divorcing. We hope to do this as amicably as possible, and hope that people will respect the privacy of our children at this time.” Judith on Wednesday filed a contested divorce proceeding in Manhattan Supreme Court, which indicates she’s readying for a fight over their marital assets, which include property in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Fla. Rudy,...

    Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) and his wife of more than a decade are calling it quits. “It is with great sadness I can confirm that Judith and I are divorcing,” the former presidential candidate said in a statement to The New York Post. The paper was first to report that Judith Giuliani had filed a contested divorce on Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court. “In these divorce situations, you cannot place blame. It is 50/50. There are problems on both sides,” he said. “We will have to divide our properties in New York and Palm Beach.” The...

    The Philippines took its closest step yet to legalizing divorce this week, despite opposition from President Rodrigo Duterte and religious groups. The country’s lower house of Congress voted Monday to pass a bill allowing couples to dissolve “irreparable marriages” and remarry, with 134 lawmakers voting for and 57 against, with two abstentions, Reuters reports. The only other country where divorce is illegal is the Vatican City. Congresswoman Emmi de Jesus said the bill sought to address the “clamour of women trapped in abusive relationships,” the BBC reports. The bill, which passed with support across the political aisle, offers Filipinos a...

    The Philippines is pushing divorce through the House of Representatives after receiving enough preliminary votes.  The House approved the Absolute Divorce Act 2018 on Wednesday and will hold a final vote on the bill next Friday. On February 21, the bill was approved at the committee level — the committee on population and family relations.   The Senate is slated to vote on their version of the bill. If both chambers of Congress pass their own version, a bicameral conference will reconcile any differences. The bill is designed to allow spouses to divorce under certain conditions and defined judicial procedures to protect children from the...

    Reading Bill Kristol’s latest emasculated flail of a troll — the desperation, the manipulation, the intellectual dishonesty, the mind and word games, the cuddling with evil at NBC News — it all took me back to early 1985, to a guy I knew who ended up in prison. Eager for adventure and to be on my own, just a few months after (barely) graduating high school I lit out for south Florida from rural Wisconsin. It was an amazing time, the Miami Vice-era. Although I was on the Gulf Coast and not in Miami, the pastels, neons, and building boom...

    A 29-year-old Saudi man was in for the shock of his life when his wife, whom he loved so much, approached the court for a divorce. The estranged husband did not know why his wife would want divorce from him even though he did everything possible for her, but she was adamant in her demand. She admitted that her husband had never denied anything to her but she insisted on leaving him because he preferred her over his own mother. "I can never trust a man who does everything for his wife while he denies even a small favor to...

    For any divorce or separation agreement executed after Dec. 31, 2018, the act provides that alimony and separate maintenance payments are not deductible by the payer spouse. It repealed the provisions that provided that those payments were includible in income by the payee spouse. This will diminish the income benefits of increasing alimony and decreasing property settlement to take advantage of the differences in tax rates and deductions between the former spouses.

    Another day, another allegation. Or two or three allegations. The era of sexual McCarthyism has dawned and shows no sign of abating. And as the accusations reach back farther and farther in time, the chasm between those decades and today becomes ever more glaringly incongruous. What could be more ironic than the fact that we are experiencing an unprecedented outbreak of long-belated sexual harassment charges in a generation defined by its sexual licentiousness? We are, after all, living in an era that a 2013 article on the American Psychological Association website dubbed the “Sexual Hook-up Culture.” A time of “uncommitted...

    A few months after becoming pastor of Parkway Baptist Church, a 21-year-old Armour D. Stephenson III, or “AD3” as he is affectionately known, sat down with his deacons — almost all men over 40 — and laid out plans for his own version of the great flood. “The entire dynamic of our church was about to change,” AD3 recalls of the fateful 2006 meeting. His first decree: “Stop wearing suits on Sundays.” The congregation’s response? An exodus. Membership dwindled from about 300 to a low of 85. “Any time you’re shifting culture, there’s going to be some casualties,” AD3 says.

    Life Site News ^ | December 8, 2017 | Doug Mainwaring
    The Mississippi Supreme Court heard arguments last week about whether a boy born to a lesbian couple should be legally considered the biological son of his mother's female partner. Because of the nature of the child’s conception and the relationship of the adults in his life, the story is complicated. The two women who were “married” chose to have a child that would be conceived in one of them via anonymous sperm donation. The boy is now six years old. His mother’s “ex-spouse,” who helped raise the child from birth, sought to be recognized as a biological parent when the...

    It looks like The Mooch is out of the dog house. Court records show that Anthony Scaramucci’s wife, Deidre Ball, decided to drop her divorce case against him Wednesday. And sources close to Scaramucci confirmed their renewed relationship status to The Post on Thursday — saying they were, in fact, a couple again. The pair had bitterly parted ways back in July, with Page Six exclusively reporting that they were ending their three-year marriage because Ball was sick of Scaramucci’s “naked political ambition.”
