Mel Gibson’s divorce from long-time wife Robyn has been finalized — so he is officially back on the market.

The divorce was finalized on Friday, after the former couple eschewed the proceedings. Robyn asked for her maiden name to be restored to Moore. The terms of the divorce settlement have been made confidential, but we’re pretty sure that Robyn is walking away a very rich woman.

His fortune was previously estimated to be in the ballpark of $850 million. Also of note is the fact that they did not have a prenuptial agreement, which means she is entitled to half of everything he earned during their marriage.

They have seven children together, with only one of which being a minor. Robyn filed for divorce after learning that Mel had a steamy affair with Oksana Grigorieva, which ended with the birth of their daughter, Lucia.

Congratulations?

Teen singer Justin Bieber is a generous friend! He proved that this Christmas when he got his best friend, Ryan Butler, a car for the holiday!

What a great gift! Ryan took to his Twitter account to talk about the present and share the above image. He tweeted, “Justin got me a present. #swag!!!”

Wow. Can you just imagine how he felt getting the keys to that ride? It’s a swanky looking Ford Mustang Convertible.

Us Weekly has more:

The teen popstar and his BFF grew up together in Stratford, Ontario. Butler makes a cameo in Bieber’s 2009 music video for his hit, “One Time.”

Justin spent his Christmas this year with his family. He tweeted, “Spending time with family — feels really good. Going to get to see these smiles on Christmas. Merry Christmas from the family!”

We’re sure they had a rockin’ Christmas. How did you spend yours?

Maria Shriver might just be second guessing her divorce from former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger!

According to TMZ, Maria has been telling her friends that she’s unsure whether or not she wants to go through with her divorce from the Governator. Reportedly, the reason behind her change of heart is because of her religious beliefs, which do not include divorce.

TMZ reports:

Making matters even more complicated — we’re told Arnold still desperately wants Maria back, and has been “extremely sweet” to her and has made numerous gestures — which include presents — to win Maria back.

Maria filed for divorce on July 1, though she moved out months earlier. She’s already bought a mansion in Brentwood, CA, which she’s in the process of renovating.

Do you think she should get back together with Arnold? Especially after learning that he fathered a baby with the housekeeper? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts!

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has revealed that he prefers playing cards to having sex! I can see why, the man is 85-years-old!

He revealed that he spends his nights watching movies and playing cards rather than having sex. He’s dating two women at the moment, 28-year-old Shera Bechard and 24-year-old Sophie Berglund, but says that during the week, he prefers movies and board games.

In a new interview, he said, “Monday night I watch an old movie with the guys, Tuesday night I play games with my girlfriends and the girls from the Playmate House – usually dominoes or Uno. Wednesday I play Gin Rummy with the guys. Thursdays I go out for dinner with the girls, and weekends we have friends over for something to eat and a movie. Friday and Saturday are classic movies and Sunday is a new film.”

Shera revealed, “Yes there’s physical attraction, and physical encounters. Back in the day, you hear stories, but Hef has calmed down a lot!”

Can you blame him? Sex would probably kill him at this point! He shouldn’t over-exert himself!

Matthew McConaughey on WhoSay

Matthew McConaughey has asked his girlfriend and babies’ mother, Camila Alves, to be his wife!

The actor tweeted the above photo on Christmas yesterday, saying, “just asked camila to marry me, merry Christmas.”

Congratulations to them! It looks like they’ve had a wonderful Christmas!

It just saddens the rest of the world to know that Matthew is off the market now…Ha!

We are unsure as to whether or not Steve Jones will be hosting the second season of The X Factor USA, but he talked about what a ride it was for the first season of the talent competition.

When speaking of his job as host of the show, he said, “I was overwhelmed with excitement about doing the job. But I’ll be honest, I’ve been taken aback. It’s been a lot more pressure than I expected, a lot more emotional. I’ve been critiqued to hell and back throughout the press and throughout the entire process of people watching it.”

He revealed, “Maybe I was a little naive; I wasn’t expecting it to be so black-and-white. Half the people hate what I’m doing and half the people love what I’m doing. I suppose that’s kind of what you want. But I wanna be liked by people, so it can be a little bit upsetting when people say hurtful things. If you can’t handle it, go home and hide under your bed.”

He said, “I can’t even expect to see myself on the show just yet. I haven’t had that conversation. Hopefully I’m involved in the second season! I’ve had a whale of a time doing the first season. But I’m sure we’ll look at the first season as a gigantic pilot that’ll become more refined. We’ll know exactly what we want to get across in the second season, we’ll go in there with a clear view of what we need to do.”

What do you think? Should Simon Cowell sign Steve Jones on for the second season of The X Factor USA?

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kris Humphries on Halloween and was rumored to be seeking a reconciliation with her former boyfriend, Reggie Bush. But not if his mother has anything to say about it!

When Reggie told his mom that Kim had been in touch with him since filing for divorce, his mom said, “Don’t take her back!”

She reportedly turned to Reggie after her divorce filing, for comfort, but his mother says that Kim has ulterior motives and doesn’t want her to get back together with him.

A friend said, “For Reggie’s sake, Denise put on a smiling face when he dated Kim in the past, but she was never a fan of her or any of the Kardashians. Denise was horrified when Reggie first brought Kim home to meet the family in late 2007 because it was after her infamous sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray J hit the internet. Momma Bush wants her son to settle down with a wholesome, religious woman who’s out of the spotlight.”

The friend went on to say, “Denise wants nothing to do with the Kardashian name or fame, and she made that clear to Reggie over dinner one night when he told her Kim had reached out to him.”

The pal added, “She told Reggie not to take her back and added, ‘She’s no good for you!’”

What do you think? Should Reggie Bush take Kim Kardashian back now that she’s divorcing Kris Humphries? Sound off in the comments!

Lady Gaga’s former assistant, Jennifer O’Neill, is suing the singer’s touring company, claiming that Gaga treated her like her personal slave.

In her lawsuit against Mermaid Touring Company, Jennifer said that in her 13 month employment for Gaga, she is owed $380,000 in overtime pay. She said that she had to ensure the promptness of a towel following Gaga’s showers and she had the awful task of keeping Gaga on a schedule.

The $380,000 she is suing for represents 7,168 hours of OT that she worked for Gaga during those 13 months. She claims that she had to cater to the singer in “stadiums, private jets, fine hotel suites, yachts, ferries, trains and tour buses.”

She added that she was required to be assisting Gaga at her “earliest waking hour.”

Lady Gaga’s representative calls the lawsuit “completely without merit.”

It sounds as if Jennifer was merely doing what she was paid to do. But if she is due some overtime wages, we’ll surely report on the settlement, if any.

What do you think? We think that there are a lot of people that wouldn’t mind doing Jennifer’s job.

Demi Lovato was left fuming mad at her former employer, Disney, after learning that they had a joke about eating disorders in an episode of So Random and Shake It Up.

In 2010, Demi checked herself into treatment after quitting the Jonas Brothers’ tour. It was later revealed that she was dealing with an eating disorder, among other things.

She tweeted:

“I could just eat you up, well if I ate” – Disney Chanel’s Shake It Up…. What are we promoting here? #notfunnyATALL

I find it really funny how a company can lose one of their actress’ from the pressures of an EATING DISORDER and yet still make joke about…..that very disease….. #nice…& they said something about that on So Random. it pisses me off when they joke about it.

And is it just me or are the actress’ getting THINNER AND THINNER…. I miss the days of RAVEN, and LIZZIE MCGUIRE…and society wonders why there are 7 yr old with eating disorders…yet disney is making jokes about it. Dear Disney Channel, EATING DISORDERS ARE NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT.

She quickly received a tweet from Disney’s PR team, with this message: “@ddlovato – we hear you & are pulling both episodes as quickly as possible & reevaluating them. It’s NEVER our intention to make light of eating disorders!”

Good for Demi for bringing light to something that plagues so many people. Good on Disney for responding so quickly. But you have to wonder who approved those shows in the first place?

The winner of The X Factor USA’s first season, Melanie Amaro, said that she sang her heart out on the show so that she could save her family — financially.

Her father said prior to the show’s finale, “It’s really important for our entire family that Melanie wins The X Factor – it would not only change her life, but ours as well. Of course, she can do whatever she wants with her winnings, but we’re confident she’ll do the right thing and help us out.”

He went on to say, “In 2009, I lost my job as a property management maintenance worker after the company I worked for was sold. Bills were piling up higher than the palm trees outside our house. My wife was working, but she was bringing in just enough to put food on our table.”

Melanie’s mother said, “We live paycheck to paycheck, but we always manage to make it.”

She also revealed that even before Melanie was born, she knew she was going to be a singer. She said that a preacher told her of her daughter’s gift. She added, “He told me that God had put a song in my baby’s heart, that she was always going to be singing. And he was right!”

We’re glad he was right. Melanie has the gift of song and has shown the world her amazing talent.

There are some unscrupulous rumors floating around that Robert Pattinson has cheated on his girlfriend Kristen Stewart with none other than their Breaking Dawn co-star Nikki Reed!

An anonymous source said that Kristen and Nikki really can’t stand each other. Why?!? Because Rob cheated on Kristen with Nikki! It would totally be scandalous, if it were true. We’re not buying the rumors, though.

We’re of two minds with Rob and Kristen. One side of us thinks that their relationship is only for show, to promote the Twilight movies. The other side says that they are legitimately happy and the media should just butt out of their union.

What do you think?
