Description

TLC has been offering tantalizing teasers, but unfortunately the cable network’s biggest reality secret has already been scooped…by everybody. Kate Gosselin reportedly filed for divorce from her co-star and ten-year husband, Jon, in Bucks County, PA on Monday.

Meanwhile, a “major announcement” will be revealed on the show this evening - if it hasn’t already been found out by the press, and current public opinion believes this is the case. Jon and Kate’s rocky relationship has made a multitude of headlines over the past few weeks, fueled by rumors of infidelity on both sides. The couple spoke openly about their marital troubles at the beginning of the season.

Which, it is believed, will be the show’s last. TLC can hardly keep showing us when Jon and Kate are no more.

Phil Collins and Orianne Cevey

Earlier this year, singer Paul McCartney forked over approximately $45.37 million to get rid of his annoying ex-wife once and for all. While this seemed like a hefty sum (despite his large fortune), it turns out the Beatle walked away with a pretty good deal.

The Genesis singer/drummer’s recent $46.68 million payout is the priciest check written by a British celeb ever.
