UGH…yet another “celebrity” making a mockery of marriage, relationships and motherhood. According to Yahoo.com:

 

“Welcome to Kasa Kim and Kanye!

A source confirms to omg! that parents-to-be Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have plunked down $11 million for a sprawling mansion in gated Bel Air, California, just six months before they’re set to get a visit from the stork. TMZ reports that the couple purchased the 10,000-square-foot residence weeks ago – before the world knew about their baby news – and immediately began renovating it, giving it an extra 4,000-square-feet of space.

For even more photos of the stunning piece of real estate, check out Zillow.com.

“It’s so exciting for them,” a source tells People. “The house is gorgeous. And they really wanted and needed the privacy.”

The new home is not only safely tucked away from prying eyes, but it’s also a good 15 miles away from Calabasas, where Kardashian’s momager, Kris Jenner, lives with husband Bruce Jenner and their two teen daughters. Although the distance may not seem far, in L.A. traffic that could translate to quite a drive.

Buying a home together is a big deal! Last May, not long after they first started dating, the rapper moved into Kardashian’s abode and put his three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath Hollywood Hills home on the market for $3.995 million. A month later, that same pad was robbed while West, 35, was on tour in England. According to real estate site, Zillow.com, it never sold and was likely taken off the market.

Since then, whenever the two are both on the West Coast, they’ve been shacking up under Kardashian’s roof … just like Kris Humphries did until they split in October 2011 after 72 days of marriage. The reality mega-star owns a $4.8 million five-bedroom Tuscan-style villa in a gated community in Beverly Hills, which she bought in 2010.

While their dream home is being perfected, the couple is kicking back in Paris. After spending a few days in Miami with her BFF, publicist Jonathan Cheban, Kardashian, 32, skipped the pond and showed up with her baby-daddy in France on Tuesday afternoon. Their first order of business? Shopping! After all, they’re going to need plenty of new things to fill their massive home.”

 

Not even divorced from her first highly publicized marriage and she is already shacked up with another man, playing house and having his child…

According to People.com, yet another Taylor Swift relationship bites the dust:

 

“It’s official: Taylor Swift and One Direction’s Harry Styles have headed to splitsville.
The musical lovebirds, who spent time vacationing in the snow and sun together over the holidays, have broken up, sources confirm to PEOPLE.
News of the couple’s demise has been widespread: the New York Post‘s Page Six reports, citing a source, that after visiting the British Virgin Islands together following a New Year’s Eve smooch, Swift left by herself on Jan. 4.
Meanwhile, a photo of Styles in a hot tub with multiple people, including Richard Branson, surfaced Monday.

Reps for both stars have not commented.
Swift, 23, and Styles, 18, debuted as a couple during a taping of The X Factor in November, and were seemingly inseparable after that. They packed on the PDA at a party in New York on Dec. 6, and spent her birthday together visiting northern England.
Although the pair appeared to fall for each other fast, a source who knows Swift told PEOPLE of the romance, “No one is taking it seriously.””

 

I’m just dreading this girl getting married…right now she is a serial dater, can you imagine her being a serial husband finder? It makes me wonder what her family life was like growing up or if she even had a normal, non-famous boyfriend/relationship/date. So very sad, a lot of young girls look up to her and this is not setting a very good example for them. We need to stop looking at relationships as disposable…just sayin’.

Celebrity Divorce News… December 13, 2012

 This is wrong on so many levels. Neither parent should have to endure this behavior after a divorce…but sadly it is a reality in so many divorced couples’ lives.

According to US Weekly (I know…them again ;))

“The “c-word” is not allowed to be spoken in the Grammer household and no,  that word isn’t “car seat.” During an appearance on “Anderson” on Tuesday, Camille Grammer revealed that her ex-husband, Kelsey Grammer, has forbidden their two children (Mason, 11, and Jude, 8) from saying their mother’s first  name while they are visiting with him and his new wife, Kayte.

“So these poor kids, my daughter and my son, can’t say my name in their  father’s house,” said the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, adding that  it made her “sad” when she found out. “I think they can say ‘mom’ or ‘the other  household,’ but they can’t say my name.”

It’s unclear why Kelsey, 58, who cheated on Camille, 44, with Kayte, is so incensed by his ex. During an August interview with Oprah Winfrey, he also  refused to say Camille’s name, only referring to her as “that person.”

Camille, who is now dating Greek hunk Dmitri Charalambopoulos, also revealed  to Anderson Cooper that she and Kelsey are not even divorced yet , which seems  strange since he did marry Kayte, a former flight attendant, in February 2011  (and then again this past June) so perhaps that union is not official. The reality star added that she and Kelsey are set to meet with their lawyers in the coming weeks and hopefully a settlement will then be reached. “Release me! Set  me free!” she exclaimed. “You’re married. You have a child!”

Kelsey’s rep did not respond to omg!’s request for a comment.”

Another one bites the dust.

According to US Weekly:

“It’s splitsville for Sarah Palin‘s son Track and his wife Britta Hanson.

Tying the knot in May 2011, commercial fisherman Track, 23,  and his high school sweetheart filed joint divorce documents in an Alaska court, TMZ  reports.

In accordance with state law, their joint filing confirms they agree to  property and custody terms as well as child support for their 1-year-old daughter, Kyla.

The Palin family’s oldest son married nursing student Hanson in Hatcher Pass,  Alaska, with both sets of parents present at their ceremony. “Our families  couldn’t be happier!” the Palin and Hanson families told Us Weekly in a joint statement at the time.  “These are two hard working, humble, active, studious young adults who grew up  together. We’re tickled that after two decades of friendship we proudly  witnessed their marriage, knowing their new life together will be blessed.”

Also an Army reservist, Track is the eldest of five Palin siblings: Bristol,  22, Willow, 17, Piper, 11 and Trig, 2.

Track’s daughter is Sarah Palin’s second grandbaby. Bristol  Palin was just 18 when she and ex-fiance Levi Johnston  welcomed son Tripp in 2008.”

Here at PostDivorceStruggles would like to wish them the best of luck in working through this for their daughter. Celebrity or not, divorce is a difficult time.
