NEW YORK – While Jon and Kate Gosselin begin to sort out the pieces of their broken marriage, "Jon & Kate Plus 8" is merely taking a break.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 is a reality television show produced in the United States by Figure 8 Films about the Gosselin family, consisting of parents Jon and Kate and their eight children: a pair of fraternal twins and sextuplets. The show follows the family through their daily lives, focusing on the challenges of raising multiple children. The show originally aired on Discovery Health, but has aired on TLC since season 3. The show is currently one of the highest rated programs on TLC and the fifth season premiere was seen by a record 9.8 million viewers, the most watched show of that evening including broadcast television, twice as many viewers as the show’s previous series high.The family originally appeared in a one-hour special titled Surviving Sextuplets and Twins.

A day after the couple revealed their impending divorce and won the biggest ratings coup ever for TLC's prized reality show, the network announced the program would go on hiatus until Aug. 3. The purpose: to give the Gosselin family time to "regroup, and then a modified schedule will be in place to support the family's transition," TLC said.

On Monday night's show, the couple couldn't even see eye-to-eye on where to install new playhouses for their 8-year-old twins and 5-year-old sextuplets. Kate got her way in the end — an outcome viewers have often witnessed.

The next stop for their worsening dynamic will be a Pennsylvania court.

Divorce papers Kate Gosselin filed in Montgomery County Court outside Philadelphia, obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, said her marriage to Jon was "irretrievably broken." She said in the filing that she's willing to "negotiate a fair and reasonable" settlement with her husband of 10 years; her lawyer, Cheryl Young, said the couple has already started working on terms.

Key among their shared assets will be the reality series that has made them stars — along with plaguing their family with tabloid scrutiny and scandalmongering. TLC President Eileen O'Neill said the network "continues to support the Gosselin family and will work closely with them to determine the best way to continue to tell their story as they navigate through this difficult time."

The network announced that a retrospective of Jon and Kate's 10-year marriage would air next Monday, followed by a hiatus until Aug. 3. The long break comes on the heels of a 10.6 million-viewer night, beating the huge "Jon & Kate" season premiere a month ago by 800,000 viewers.

In separate on-camera segments, the Gosselins said the show had been a good thing for both them and their kids. And while retaining their expansive home in southeastern Pennsylvania, the estranged couple seemed reconciled to a future of taking turns living there with their children.

"We interview separately, we'll film different things," Jon explained on Monday's episode. "Me and the kids, her and the kids."

Attorneys for both Jon and Kate Gosselin said Tuesday that the couple lived together on their Berks County compound until recently.

"They have been living 'separate and apart' just within the last week or two," said Jon's attorney, Charles Meyer, using a term from the divorce petition, which contained boilerplate language common to all no-fault divorce petitions filed in Pennsylvania.

Among that language was a provision that The Associated Press misinterpreted to mean the couple had been living apart for the past two years. The AP's report, which incorrectly gave the impression that the show's two-year run was filmed under false pretenses, was corrected later Tuesday.

The court document does not explain what led to the split. But in a statement released to the media, Kate asserted that "Jon's activities" over the weekend had left her "no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children." She did not elaborate. Both Jon and Kate deny tabloid accusations that they cheated on each other.

"To be honest, I was hurt by Kate's statement about the divorce," Jon countered Tuesday in his own release. "I have always done everything I can to protect our family. This weekend, I was home with the kids for four days, just being a dad. No nannies, just the kids and me."

He added that while "emotions are running high for both of us right now," he hopes to "resolve things amicably."

In an e-mailed response to questions posed Tuesday, Jon elaborated on the family's preliminary plans to keep the show going.

"On days when I am with them, Kate will make arrangements to stay elsewhere," he wrote. "And when Kate is with the kids, I will make other arrangements. We know that this is the right decision. The kids love our home, and I am happy that they will be staying there."

Yet to be determined: Whether the show's growing fan base will be staying, too, following a six-week cooling-off period.

Mel Gibson’s wife Robyn shocked Hollywood yesterday when she filed for divorce from the actor, whom she’s been married to for almost three decades. And today rumors are abound that Gibson was romantically linked to a Russian singer named Oksana Kolesnikova.

The "Lethal Weapon" actor was photographed last month in Costa Rica with a bikini-clad woman believed to be the Kolesnikova. However, celebrity website TMZ tracked down a spokesperson for Kolesnikova, who said there was no affair of the heart.

Sorry to hear about Mel Gibson’s divorce. Somehow Oksana is being linked to Mr. Gibson, but there are no emotional ties between the two that I am aware of. Oksana has in the past entertained Mr. Gibson with her piano music as he dined at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Yes, I definitely welcome the opportunity to set the record straight, our Oksana is not romantically involved with Mr. Gibson.

Court papers reveal that Mel and Robyn, 52, have been separated since August 26, 2006 — a month after Gibson was caught driving under the influence and made a string of anti-Semitic rants.

Oksana Kolesnikova is a Russian with a distinctly American story: an unknown artist striving to make it big in the music business. Of course, not many boast a repertoire in which Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Led Zeppelin go toe to toe with Bach, Mozart and Schumann. But they all share the same American dream, even if this one happens to have sprung from Russia and Rome.

"For those of you who would like to hear full versions, stop by my booth. I'll play you any of them, or any ones you request," she tells the listeners, her words tinged with the accent of a person born in Siberia and raised in Kazakhstan -- before settling with her family in St. Petersburg in 1993.

She was a little girl in Russia studying classical piano from the age of 5, winning her first competition at 9. But once a week, she loved to watch an overdubbed, mid '80s sitcom starring Yakov Smirnoff called What A Country.

Celebrities News :$60 Million Divorce Deal for Madonna and Guy Ritchie??

Guy Stuart Ritchie (born 10 September 1968 in Hatfield, Hertfordshire) is an English screenwriter and film director.

Ritchie was born on 10 September 1968, the second of two children born to John Vivian Ritchie and his first wife, the former Amber Parkinson.Ritchie, who is dyslexic, was expelled from Stanbridge Earls School, one of the most prominent institutions specialising in dyslexia in the UK, at the age of 15.[1]. He has stated that drug use was the reason for the expulsion; his father, however, has said that it was because his son was caught "cutting lessons and entertaining a girl in his room."
In addition to his elder sister, Tabitha, a dance instructor, Ritchie has a half-brother, Kevin Bayton, who was born to Amber Parkinson when she was a teenager and given up for adoption.
From 1973 until 1980, when they divorced,Ritchie's mother was married to Sir Michael Leighton, 11th baronet, a descendant of the Pre-Raphaelite painter Lord Leighton. As a divorcée, she is correctly styled as Amber, Lady Leighton.

It was only Wednesday when Madonna and Guy Ritchie announced they were divorcing, and already they've reportedly reached a decision on how much money Madonna will have to pay.

GUY RITCHIE will get at least £20million in cash and properties worth many more millions in his surprise settlement with MADONNA, it emerged last night.

The 40-year-old film director gets the couple’s 1,200-acre country estate and a swanky London pub.
The cash is to cover their London properties a family townhouse in Marylebone, a ten-bedroom property next door and two mews cottages each.
The total value will be around $60million enough for Guy to walk away satisfied.
The director of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and RocknRolla already had an estimated £25million fortune.

Guy will also be happy to get the couple’s Punch Bowl pub in Mayfair and the Ashcombe House estate in Berwick St John, Wilts.
Madonna, 50, on tour in the US, keeps her New York and Los Angeles homes without having to delve deep into her estimated £300million fortune.
A source close to the couple told The Sun last night: “The negotiations were relatively painless. Guy knew what he wanted and Madonna knew what she was keen to keep.
“There was a spell when Guy was in a mood to dig his heels in, but he decided this arrangement seemed reasonable and a long battle over money would make life unbearable.”
Madonna is being represented by famous divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton, who played a pivotal role in protecting SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY’s fortune from his ex-wife Heather Mills this year.
Shackleton negotiated with Guy’s lawyers in a day of frantic phone calls. They are expected to reach a compromise over their kids — Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and David Banda, three.
Earlier, Guy hit out at Madonna’s claims he was mean with money. A source said: “He is furious — it’s the complete opposite.

“It’s Madonna who’s mean with money, even though she has ten times as much cash as Guy. She rarely dips in her pocket for anything.”
Pals also said Guy now plans to bed as many women as possible. The source said: “Guy has always been very popular with women. They have thrown themselves at him throughout his marriage but he has always been utterly faithful.
“Now it’s all over he plans to have a little fun — something that has been missing from his life for far too long.”
Meanwhile, we can reveal that Madonna went to New York in August to ask best pal GWYNETH PALTROW for advice on whether to save her marriage or get a divorce.
She told actress Gwyneth she was considering staying with Guy because she is “terrified of being alone”.
The source said: “They decided it would make sense to end the marriage before it became even more painful.”
