Another Celeb Divorce..

Debbie Matenopoulos, host of E!'s Daily 10, has separated from her husband of five years, music exec Jay Faires. Matenopoulos, a two time Emmy nominee and former co-host of The View is pretty upset! That's not even the worst of it though. Guess what happened? She apparently found out on the Internet along with his request to deny her spousal support. OUCH! People reports that she said:

"I am extremely saddened by the dissolution of my seven-year relationship with my husband. I am not a proponent of divorce and I believe in working things out. So you can only imagine my extreme sadness and disillusionment when I was informed of my husband's divorce proceedings, much like you were, by reading them online."

Christie Brinkley gets custody

Christie Brinkley and estranged husband Peter Cook reached a conclusion early Thursday morning in their nasty Long Island divorce trial.

The 6:15 a.m. out-of-court settlement followed a night of intense negotiations, People reported.

Brinkley was awarded sole custody of their 10- and 13-year-old children, and she also will retain the 18 Hamptons properties that were at dispute. She agreed to pay Cook $2.1 million, Robert Stephan Cohen, Brinkley's lawyer, told the court.

The former Sports Illustrated model and the architect had been married for a decade before Cook's 2006 affair with his teenaged assistant led to their split.

"Anyone who would run the risk of destroying this wonderful life, anybody that would chase a teenager — I mean, a young girl — where is his judgment?" Brinkley asked when on the witness stand.

Much of the trial focused on Cook's mistress and Internet sex liaisons, which reportedly cost in the thousands each month. Cook also testified that he gave then 18-year-old Diana Bianchi a $300,000 payoff after their trysts.

But the main issue regarded the custody of the couple's 10- and 13-year-old children.

Court-appointed psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Herman said that while Brinkley should have custody of the children, Cook should receive liberal access to them, as well. He added that both parents needed counseling for their personal issues, calling Cook a narcissist with a bottomless ego and Brinkley someone who should examine her choice in men.

Hulk accused of stalking ex-wife

Linda Bollea has accused ex-husband Hulk Hogan of stalking her. She reportedly filed a motion in Pinellas County Court on June 30 claiming Hogan has been harassing her ever since their Nov. 2007 divorce.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Bollea claims Hogan has "intentionally and willfully" driven to their Florida "marital and beach homes" and "parked outside of the property, and waited in his car" for her.

"In addition to stalking the wife at and about these residences, husband follows the wife and her guests in his car once they leave the marital home or beach home," the document states. "Husband relentlessly and methodically follows the wife, causing her fear and anxiety for her safety at all times."

Bollea also claims in the motion that Hogan "has a history of violence" towards her "and is capable of attacking [her] at any time" - which led to her 911 call on May 22 when she noticed Hogan parked in front of their beach house.

Hogan's lawyer, David Houston, stated in a statement also obtained by TMZ that "Linda Bollea's allegations are pure fantasy, in line with her recent 911 call that has been widely played in the media."

On May 22, Linda called 911 claiming Hulk was stalking her, which Hulk vehemently denied. Since November, [Hogan] has been in Los Angeles working. The limited time that he has spent in Florida has been solely to visit his son and daughter. In addition, he has no history of violence."

Bollea's motion requests that the court "grant her relief" by amending a previously granted order so that it includes "stalking, harassment, and any and all improper and unwanted contact" by Hogan. It also asks the court to prevent Hulk from entering both the indoor and outdoor premises of their marital and beach homes.

The motion was just the latest hurdle in the couple's acrimonious divorce.

When Bollea filed for divorce, accusing Hogan of "legal shenanigans" regarding the couple's finances, Hogan heard the news from a reporter.

Just last month she also asked a judge to hold Hogan in contempt of court and imprison him until he paid his share of their $4.2 million Las Vegas condo.

Around the same time, Hogan pledged his ongoing love for Bollea, despite their contentious divorce.

"I unconditionally love my wife, even though we're not together anymore," Hogan told People. "The Linda that I know was a great mother and a great person."
