Allen Iverson took a “leave of absence” from the Sixers after his daughter was diagnosed with a currently-undisclosed ailment. Now it’ll be Iverson’s wife taking a leave of absence.

In the divorce petition filed on Tuesday, Tawanna Iverson said her 8 ½-year-long marriage to the guard was “irretrievably broken.” In the petition, Tawanna Iverson asked for temporary and permanent custody of their five children as well as child support and alimony.

She did not ask for a specific dollar amount. The children range in ages from 17 months to 15 years. –AJC, via Truth & Rumors.

Who would have thought that an aging NBA has-been could be such a pain in the ass to have around the house all day? Either way, it’s attorney-shopping time for Iverson. I wonder if he’ll go with a bigger firm or settle on a younger up-and-comer with his own private…practice. Aw, yeah. We talkin’ bout practice. Read the rest of this entry »

The Hulkster has been enduring a very public and very bitter divorce with his longtime wife, and he’s not about to take this sitting down. And there’s a good reason for that.

Last month Hulk Hogan filed legal papers against his ex wife Linda alleging she pilfered many items from his home including an antique toilet seat. Hulk can now rest easy knowing his precious toilet seat has to be returned. –GabbyBabble/Celeb Buzz, via ShareBro Trey.

How does one exactly classify such a thing. Does one take that toilet seat to “Antiques Roadshow?” Is it made entirely of ivory and the tears of third-world children. I can only imagine that Hulk Hogan and his attorneys had to go through a great deal of paperwork. Sorry, that’s the best poop joke that you’ll get out of me.

Elin Nordegren, that hot Swedish broad that Tiger Woods allegedly impregnated in wedlock, will be seeking a divorce from the husband father athlete of the decade. Tiger, meanwhile, hasn’t been spotted in public since he crashed his Cadillac late last month. He’s probably just playing Madden, pissing his wife off even further.

A source close to Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, told ABC News.com Wednesday that a “divorce is 100 percent on.”

“It would not appear that Elin Nordegren is going to be standing by her man,” Kate Coyne, senior editor at People Magazine, told “Good Morning America.” “Sources have told us that Elin has told us this marriage is over and she is looking to divorce.” –ABC News.

The lawyers are going to LOVE Elin. You remember those cartoons where those two guys are stuck on a desert island, and the one guy looks at the other guy, and that other guy turns into a giant steak? That’s what the lawyers will see when Elin walks into their offices. But she’s a blonde; she’s probably used to that.

Former wrestling heavyweight champ Hulk Hogan has a book out, chronicling the tumultuous recent years of his life, from his son‘s car crash to his affair to his ugly public divorce. The book, __, also details a specific point where Hogan–gun in hand–was actually contemplating taking his own life.

One night, after downing a cocktail of Xanax and rum, he had his finger on the trigger of a loaded gun when Ali, who was his co-star then on “American Gladiators,” called. He recalls that she commented on how distracted he had seemed at work.

Hogan says that phone call saved his life. But on Wednesday, Ali told “Access Hollywood” that this was the first time she was hearing Hogan’s story. –KC Star.

I’m relieved; I’m not ready to live in a world without Hulk Hogan. I’ve said before that pro wrestling is really is groundbreaking as sports entertainment. First it was the “me” attitude, then it was the steroids. I can’t wait until the Summer Olympics has its first “Bra and Panties” match. It’s coming; just you wait. Read the rest of this entry »

I would fancy a guess that some of you have predetermined notions about divorce proceedings, and so do I. My parents only stay together now because they’re both so fat and ugly that nobody else would ever get with’um. Which brings us to Terry Bollea, who we all know better as Hulk Hogan. Bollea is in the midst of some nasty divorce proceedings as he and his former wife, Linda, draw battle lines to see who’s gonna get the Hulkster’s money, brutha. Things come to a head when Hulk starts talking smack to Linda’s lawyer, who asks, “Are you gonna wrestle me?” I admire how the guy doesn’t back down from the legend. I already like him better than Randy Orton.

Holy crap, the attorney’s name is Ray Lafool. I see now why he asked about wrestling, instead of blurting out, “My mama didn’t raise no Lafool.” Because that would be lying.
