Landon Donovan files for divorce and asks for spousal support?! ~ Really?!

I'm watching the Real Housewives of Atlanta (i.e. don't judge) and playing on the Internet.  In between trying to figure out if I'm the only person who thinks Camille Grammer is insufferable and "researching" other topics, I came across a headline that Landon Donovan is getting a divorce.

First of all, I'm not a soccer person, but I thought it was interesting because he's married to Bianca Kajilich.  Do you know who that is?  She plays Jennifer in the show Rules of Engagement.  The couple was married New Year's Eve 2006, but Donovan recently filed for divorce in Los Angeles.

Apparently, in the Bleacher Report article I read, Donovan is also seeking spousal support and legal fees from Kajlich.  Really?!?!  Is it just me or does that seem "douchey" on his part?  ****  Yes, I asked the question.  I mean seriously.  He's a professional, soccer player for the Los Angeles Galaxy.  Plus, it's not like she's a mega-rich, star actress.  Let's get real.

Tony Parker's divorce attorney fires him, due to potential conflict of interest

Tony Parker just might be the dumbest person in the world.  He allegedly cheats on Eva Longoria and allegedly has a texting/sexting relationship with a former teammate's (i.e. Brent Barry) soon-to-be ex-wife, Erin Barrry.  Then, for his "final trick" he hires the same divorce attorney that Brent Barry hired.  Epic fail.

According to the articles that I've been seeing and good old TMZ (i.e. which seems to be all over his dumb ass) his attorney Richard Orsinger has fired him as a client.  Seems as though, Parker may not have filled Orsinger in on all the details of the case.  ****  I'm not a huge fan of putting TMZ reports on this blog, but I'm a lesser fan of Parker and alleged NBA infidelity, so here you are.

Wow.  Nice Tony.  Good thing you play basketball, because it looks like you're batting ZERO.  How do you say "idiot" in French?

Tony Parker and Eva Longoria ~ Another NBA divorce? C'est la vie

Word is getting out that Tony Parker and Eva Longoria are getting divorced.  To be fair, there's also a conflicting report from Longoria's camp, that the rumor is false.  Who knows.  Usually, where there's smoke there's fire.  I don't know the specifics of their relationship.  All I can think is, "Hmmm, another NBA failed marriage... " ****  Earlier this week, Steve Nash announced that he was getting a divorce.

A relationship with an NBA player is hard enough.  I know.  I was with an NBA player for more than 4 years.  I was engaged, planned a wedding, and ultimately cancelled a wedding.  Fun.  Fun.  Fun.  All that glitters isn't gold, and the "Glamorous Life" comes with its own set of unique issues.

Do you know what it's like to see your ex on TV when you're on a date?  Do you know how it feels when you're on a date and you're new love interest starts berating or championing your ex's skills on the court?  Do you know what it's like to be haunted by the voice and sight of a 7 foot ghost from your past?  I do, and it's awesome (i.e. that's sarcasm, people)...  Another thing I do know is that life goes on, and it all gets BETTER.

I'm not going to speculate as to why these relationships failed.  I just wish everyone the best as they rebuild and move onto their new lives.  ****  Word of advice, if you're ever in this situation.  Keep the ring.  Trust me.  He doesn't need it. 

I wonder if NBA divorces come in 3s (i.e. like celebrity deaths).  Wives in the NBA, you might want to keep an eye on your man...  Just saying.

If you want the TMZ story, here you go: http://www.tmz.com/2010/11/16/eva-longoria-divorce-tony-parker-san-antonio-spurs-desperate-housewives-split-breakup-divorcing-filed/

Update: Well it seems like the rumor may not be true.  Personally, I don't care either way.  Like I said, I wish every married, NBA couple the best.  OK, maybe not EVERY married, NBA couple (i.e. let's be real).  Regardless of whether or not Tony and Eva are divorcing isn't that relevant, since the sentiment of the post is still valid.
