An it was all good just a week ago. Model/Actress Amber Rose and Platinum-selling recording artist Wiz Khalifa are headed down splitsville. The first shot was fired today when Amber Rose dropped a bomb and has reportedly filed for divorce.
TMZ broke the news in this report earlier today:
Amber Rose has filed for divorce from husband-of-1-year Wiz Khalifa … and she’s gunning for full custody of their kid … TMZ has learned.
In the divorce docs — obtained by TMZ — Amber says they spit on Monday and cites irreconcilable differences.
Amber is asking for full legal and physical custody of the 1-year-old son Sebastian. She’s willing to give Wiz visitation.
And this is interesting. Amber acknowledges there’s a prenup, which you would think would work in Wiz’ favor, but she says it’s valid … presumably, she’s not challenging it. The docs say the prenup provides spousal support.
Things appeared to be everlasting weeks ago with the two consecutively showing their undying love for one another on their social media outlets. The two recently just renewed their vows and Rose dedicated a twerk visual to the success of her husband’s recent number-one selling album, ‘Blacc Hollywood’.
Amber Rose does have a tattoo of Wiz’s face on her arm. Rumors have been also recently surfacing that Amber Rose has been in bed literally with her manager/actor Nick Cannon. Cannon is also going through a public break up with his wife, Mariah Carey.
Fans are devastated on the news and many are hoping these two can work through their issues and once again stand as a proud couple. Close friends of the couple have described the break up as “bitter”. Wiz just wrapped up touring and beginning production on a new film. Rose just recently stared in the comedic film, also directed by Nick Cannon, ‘School Dance’. More as this story develops.

Paulina Gretzky has announced she and her professional golfer fiance, Dustin Johnson, are expecting their first child. She took to Instagram on Tuesday, September 23 to share a picture of her baby bump.
Paulina wrote alongside the picture, “@djohnsonpga & i are so excited to finally share with you all our amazing news..we’re having a baby!!” In the picture, the eldest daughter of Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones can be seen caressing her baby bump in front of a swimming pool. She wears a figure hugging ensemble.
Paulina got engaged to Dustin in August 2013 after dating for about two years.
Last month, Dustin was reportedly suspended from the PGA Tour after testing positive for cocaine. However, PGA Tour executive vice president Ty Votaw later debunked the report, saying Dustin’s leave was his own decision.
Ty said in a statement, “With regard to media reports that Dustin Johnson has been suspended by the PGA Tour, this is to clarify that Mr. Johnson has taken a voluntary leave of absence and is not under a suspension from the PGA Tour.”
Wayne gave his support for Dustin during a recent interview with Sportsnet 590 radio. “[Dustin]‘s our future son-in-law and we love him dearly,” the retired hockey legend said, “It’s been a tough time … When you go through tough times as a family, that’s when you have to stick together the most.”

Shortly after winning the title of Miss USA, Nia Sanchez has another happy moment in her life. The 24-year-old pageant winner got engaged to her boyfriend, actor Daniel Booko, on Saturday, October 5 in New York City.
“We are engaged!!!! so in love with my fiance,” Sanchez happily told her followers on Instagram, uploading a photo of her and the “21 and Over” star kissing. Her 2-carat diamond ring is clearly visible as she puts her hand on his shoulder. Booko also shared a similar photo and wrote, “We’re engaged!! Ahhhh! Can’t wait to spend forever with my love and best friend @realniasanchez @missusa !! #bestnightever #TheBookos.”
The actor, who met Sanchez for the first time a year and a half ago, told Rumor Fix how he prepared the surprise proposal. Booko secretly flew to New York when some of her best friends were visiting her and rented the Suite Royale at the NoMad Hotel which has a private terrace.
“She’s thinking she’s going to an event with friends … [and] I will be there looking all dapper in a suit decorated with candles and flowers and the whole thing and have her come over – just her and I to have an intimate moment – then get down on one knee and propose then pop champagne and celebrate,” he said.
Booko helped Peter Young at INTA Gems and Diamonds with the ring’s design. “We put red, white and blue inside to add to the story of Miss USA,” the 30-year-old star explained, before adding that the three stones have another meaning, “We’re both people of faith. I love the three diamonds as the trinity – Father, the son and the Holy Spirit.”

Penelope Cruz is named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive in 2014. She is the 11th woman to be given the title, joining a number of famous figures including Scarlett Johansson, who won the same title twice in 2013 and in 2006, Mila Kunis, Rihanna and Minka Kelly.
Penelope tells the magazine in an interview for its November issue that she was attracted to drama in her teens and twenties. “I’ve played a lot of tricks on myself,” she says, “I’ve made it hard for me sometimes, especially in my teens and twenties. I had an attraction to drama. Most of us have that, especially if you are an artist-you feel like you are tempted to explore the darkness.”
The “Nine” actress adds, “I could not be less interested now. For me, the most attractive, charming, cool, fun, interesting thing-how could I call it? A plan.”
Penelope refuses to discuss about her relationship with his husband Javier Bardem. “That is for us,” says the “Volver” actress. She also declines to talk about her two children, only saying that her family is everything to her.
Penelope says that she doesn’t feel like “sexiest woman alive”, adding that she “feels like a mother who doesn’t get enough sleep.”
The 40-year-old actress can be seen in upcoming movie “Grimsby” along with Sacha Baron Cohen, Mark Strong, Isla Fisher and Annabelle Wallis. The action-comedy movie is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on July 31, 2015.

After hearing the tragic news, Teigen tweeted, “Active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in America, Wednesday.” But what was intended as a witty political comment on gun control in the United States —more than 20 have occurred in 2014 alone — was interpreted as insensitive by many of her followers.
Following thousands of tweets that called the 28-year-old “insensitive,” “ignorant,” and “dumb,” she further explained herself rather than kowtowing to the harassment and deleting her musings. “That’s not a joke. It is a fact,” she said. “Sorry you don’t understand that is a knock at America and our issues with gun control. No one is minimizing the Ottawa shooting. … I’m not apologizing. If you take it wrong, that is your fault.”
The abuse escalated quickly, and the Sports Illustrated model even received death threats. “Sorry Canada. Our Hollywood elites and its dumb models are idiots. Wish ISIS would give Chrissy a haircut,” J.V President wrote. In response, Teigen called on the social network to “step their game up” to prevent cybercruelty. She continued: “My timeline is a nice mix of toast talk and death threats.”
Teigen’s treatment speaks to a larger conversation about cyberbullying and censoring one’s opinions online. “While I think it’s important that people (high-profile or not) stand up for their beliefs, it’s critically important that people practice digital citizenship,” Robin M. Kowalski, professor of psychology at Clemson University, tells Yahoo Style. Tragedies such as the one that occurred in Canada happen all too often and tend to inflame people’s opinions about issues such as gun control. But while self-expression is important, voicing opinions in the appropriate way is also important. Done well, speaking out actually has the potential to rally people around the cause and bring about change rather than alienating them. “Digital citizenship doesn’t mean that people are not entitled to express their opinions and beliefs, just that they do so in a way that is respectful to others online,” she says. Kowalski explains that proper conduct is more likely to elicit online etiquette than a storm of cyberbullying.
But if a Pew Research Center survey is accurate, young women are the most likely targets of some of the more severe forms of online harassment. “In essence, young women are uniquely likely to experience stalking and sexual harassment, while also not escaping the high rates of other types of harassment common to young people in general,” the report said.
It’s especially important that Teigen didn’t back down to those who threatened her because it sets an example for how others should conduct themselves in the digital realm. “Tiegen’s comments are challenging the sexist idea that women are to be empathetic at all times and that they should apologize when others don’t understand or aren’t persuaded by their assertions,” Marcia Dawkins, assistant professor at USC Annenberg, tells Yahoo Style. She says that what is so great about those who refuse to back down in the face of bullying, trolling, and harassment is that they reveal how persistent online sexism is. This, in turn, opens up access to public dialogue and problem solving — online and off.
In the end, defeated, Teigen decided to take her social media talents to Instagram. “It’s gotten to the point people don’t even see the simplicity of the original tweet and have just wanted to get shaking-mad over something,” she said. “I’ve lost faith in this world. Sorry if it comes off as being unemotional. There is just so much bad.”

With rape allegations against Bill Cosby mounting, supermodel Janice Dickinson tells ET in a new interview that the comedian sexually assaulted her in 1982.
Dickinson, now 59, recalls first meeting Cosby, now 77, when her agent set up a meeting with him to hire her for a role on The Cosby Show. After they had dinner, she says their next conversation was when he called her out of the blue while she was in rehab for drugs and alcohol. Following her stay in rehab, Dickinson says Cosby reached out to her during a trip to Bali and had her travel to Lake Tahoe, because he was performing there and wanted to offer her the job they had discussed as well as help her with a singing career.
Dickinson says they had dinner in Lake Tahoe, and claims that he gave her a glass of red wine and a pill, which she asked for because she was menstruating and had stomach pains.
And that’s when she tells ET that things took a disturbing turn.
“The next morning I woke up, and I wasn’t wearing my pajamas, and I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man,” she tells ET. “… Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning I remember waking up with my pajamas off and there was semen in between my legs.”
Dickinson also says she tried to write about the assault in her 2002 autobiography No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World’s First Supermodel, but claims that when she submitted a draft with her full story to HarperCollins, Cosby and his lawyers pressured her and the publisher to remove the details.
“I’m doing this because it’s the right thing to do, and it happened to me, and this is the true story,” she says about coming out with her story now. “I believe all the other women.”
Dickinson says that keeping the alleged sexual assault a secret for 32 years drove her to a life of hurting herself.
“Stuffing feelings of rape and my unresolved issued with this incident has drove me into a life of trying to hurt myself because I didn’t have counsel and I was afraid,” she says. “I was afraid of the consequences. I was afraid of being labeled a whore or a slut and trying to sleep my way to the top of a career that never took place.”
But now Dickinson, who says she never confronted Cosby after the alleged incident, doesn’t mince words when it comes to what she would say to him now.
“How dare you,” she says. “Go f*ck yourself. How dare you take advantage of me. And I hope you rot.”
Dickinson is the third woman to come forward with a sexual assault accusation against Cosby, after a renewed interest in the allegations began when comedian Hannibal Buress called Cosby a “rapist” during an October comedy show in Philadelphia.
On Monday, ET spoke to former publicist Joan Tarshis who says that the legendary comedian assaulted her on two occasions in 1969. She also echoed Dickinson’s statements about why she stayed silent for so long.
“I want to talk about this now and I want to really support the other women who have gone through this,” she told ET. “Now with people coming out…, it’s being handled differently.”
Tarshis is referring to another of Cosby’s accusers, Barbara Bowman, who wrote an op-ed piece in the Washington Post earlier this month detailing the alleged assault she says she fell victim to in 1985 when she was a 17-year-old aspiring actress.
“In one case, I blacked out after having dinner and one glass of wine at his New York City brownstone, where he had offered to mentor me and discuss the entertainment industry,” she wrote. “When I came to, I was in my panties and a man’s t-shirt, and Cosby was looming over me. I’m certain now that he drugged and raped me. But as a teenager, I tried to convince myself I had imagined it.”
Bowman said that she was one of the alleged victims asked to testify when a woman named Andrea Constand filed a suit against Cosby in 2004. The case was eventually settled out of court.
Cosby’s lawyer, John P. Schmitt, issued a statement on Sunday in response to the sexual assault allegations after Cosby’s initial response of just silence during an NPR interview Saturday.
“Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact they are being repeated does not make them true,” the statement reads. “Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives.”

“I think you’ve bought me a couple of weeks of bragging rights around the house,” Chris tells the magazine, “I can just say to [my wife], ‘Now remember, this is what the people think, so I don’t need to do the dishes anymore, I don’t need to change nappies. I’m above that. I’ve made it now.’ ”
Chris also reveals that he prefers to sleep without pajamas, has a signature dance move and would rather be home in Australia with his wife and his three children, daughter India and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, than anywhere else.
“We just had a big beach day with the kids, swimming and kicking the ball around,” the “Thor” actor shares, “That was the first time in a long time we’ve done that. That’s what it’s all about.”
Chris, who puts on 20 lbs. of muscle for his role as Thor, reveals he looks forward to cheating on his diet and exercise. “Then it’s pizza, hamburgers, beer, sugary things,” he says, “Everything I’m not allowed to have!”
Jimmy Kimmel scored the big reveal of the PEOPLE Sexiest Man Alive on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday night, November 18. Prior to the announcement, Jimmy asked his audience to ask question to Chris, whose face was still covered at that time, via Skype before guessing who he was.
After the announcement, Jimmy asked Chris about his brother Liam Hemsworth. “He’s been a real team player for this one,” Chris said of Liam, “We’ve been throwing sexy looks back and forth all week.”
Chris credited Matt Damon with teaching him to be sexy. “I learned everything there is about being sexy from Matt,” he said, before thanking his predecessors, “Thank you Matt and all the other previous intelligent men.”
As for other people he wanted to thank, Chris said, “My parents, I guess, for putting this together,” while gesturing his body.
