Kobe Bryant’s divorce from his wife of ten and a half years, Vanessa Lynne Bryant, may cost him $75 million. After repeated cases of infidelity, the Lakers basketball wives tipped Vanessa to a recent case that put the coffin in the nail. While the debate rages on about Vanessa’s peculiar timing for filing the divorce petition, although reports just surfaced that Vanessa considered the option four years ago over Kobe’s incessant cheating, a new debate begins around the lack of a prenuptial agreement.

According to the LA Times, “the apparent lack of a prenuptial agreement — coupled with 10 years of marriage — significantly increases the size of Vanessa Bryant’s divorce settlement with Kobe Bryant, legal experts said.

“Some estimates put Los Angeles Lakers star’s net worth at $150 million. Legal experts said Vanessa will probably receive at least $75 million in addition to ongoing spousal and child support.”

Is Britney Spears engagement fake? According to Britney Spears ex husband Jason Alexander, whop popped out of nowhere thinks her present engagement to former manager Jason Trawick is completely fake. Spears could hardly enjoy her 3-carat Neil Lane engagement ring before her ex husband of 55 hours Jason Alexander had something to say.

“I know everyone wants me to be happy about this, but I am not. I think it’s fake and I think people are afraid to say it. If you look at all the pictures between them there is no connection. They look like they are going through the motions.”

“It seems like an answer to the court thing. Sort of a nice way to sew it all up she marries her handler.  That way she always has someone controlling her. It’s sort of sad.”

Wow, bitter much?

She definitely played the game well

Lesson learned for Kobe? Probably not,

We all know by now that Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Lynne Bryant are getting a divorce. However, what you might not have known is why. As Popular Critic reported recently, Vanessa Bryant’s divorcing Kobe over recent cases of infidelity. Kobe reportedly has cheated with multiple women over the years but his recent infidelity apparently took the cake!

Now TMZ is reporting that “Kobe’s (Los Angeles Lakers) teammates were blabbing to their women about the superstar’s exploits … and those women in turn gave Vanessa Bryant the heads up.  We’re told talk of Kobe’s exploits lately increased in frequency.”

“According to our sources, the players often swear their wives to secrecy before dishing on their fellow ballers … but that secrecy is rarely kept. We’re told the women all share information about other guys around the league … in part to ensure word will get back to them if their man ever steps out.”

Sounds like a smart circle

Jessica Simpson may have failed in her attempt to land a big pay out for her pregnancy photos but she managed to snag a $3 million deal with Weight Watchers before even giving birth!!

Perhaps it’s because Simpson has publicly struggled with her weight and is being proactive. Though she told Lucky magazine last month:

“I got so much scrutiny for putting on extra pounds, but I think that the decision not to make myself anorexic was actually great for branding,” she says. “Because when you’re really, really skinny, not everybody can relate to you.”

EW Popwatch wasn’t all to please about the news criticizing Jessica for her message to new moms: “All credit to Simpson for taking back control of her body, but … What message does this sprint back to her pre-baby body send to other new moms?”

Kris Humphries first televised interview since news of his pending divorce with Kim Kardashian shed little if any light on his feelings regarding his short and highly publicized 72-day marriage.

Kris, who was joined by his mother Debra, tried to keep the conversation solely on his NBA career and foundation as Good Morning America’s Josh Elliot tried to pry the slightest hint of regret or disdain from the former New Jersey Nets forward.

“For me, it’s just certain things happen in life and you’ve got to move forward.”

Kris continued by consistently mentioning that basketball is now his primary focus since the NBA lockout has come to an end.
