Usher files for divorce

Usher has filed for a divorce from his wife Tameka Foster Raymond on Friday in Atlanta. The couple have been married since August 2007. They have been living apart for several months with Usher spending lots of time away from home recording his next record. Usher and Tameka have two young children together.

The night that Usher filed for divorce Tameka was at a screening of the new Eddie Murphy movie, Imagine That, with their oldest son and two of her sons from a previous marriage. That same night Usher spent time with friends at a Los Angeles club. Usher's rep has not yert made any official announcements about the divorce.

Sean Penn & Natalie Portman? A couple?

Can it be true? Is the cause of Robin Wright Penn's angry divorce to Sean Penn, Natalie Portman?

Even more interesting is the broad age difference between the Sean Penn (48) and Natalie Portman (27) -- 21 years apart. Star Magazine has the couple together as early as March 17th at LA's Sunset Tower Hotel's Tower Bar.

What do they have in common beyond acting? Sex? A source is quoted, "She (Natalie) stimulates him (Sean) in ways no other person has, mentally or professionally. There's a lot more there with Natalie than any of the other girls Sean's been with." I mean what will they talk about? Her favorite musical tastes? The friends they have and activities they both do must be an obstacle as well. Natalie is a known as a great actress in her generation and so has Penn, but to throw her into a family situation abruptly will inevitably become a burden to their relationship. Sean will have a heavy price to pay for his divorce, he better hope he stays with Natalie or he can then ask himself if parting with his dedicated wife, family and money was worth it.

I have to wonder if they both thought this out before they decided to break up a family. How long will it last? How long do you think they have? I'd be interested to read any comments.
