It's official. STAR Artist Madonna and her husband of 7 and a half years, Guy Ritchie, have agreed to divorce. Their rep issued a statement, "They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time. A final settlement has not been agreed upon yet." Madonna and Guy have been dodging rumors about a troubled marriage since August when it was rumored Madonna had an affair with New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez.

Some more not-so-good news...
Hospital sources have confirmed to me Desperate Housewives star Gale Harold, who plays Susan's new man Jackson, is in the neurological inetnsive care unit at the LA County Medical Center and is in "stable condition." His rep confirmed to me Gale was involved in a motorcycle accident yesterday and fractured his shoulder is under supervision. Everyone I've talked to is hopeful he'll make a full recovery.

We finally know why STAR Artist Janet Jackson had to cancel and postpone 9 concerts. Her rep told me, “After a thorough medical evaluation, it has been confirmed that Janet's symptoms are being caused by a rare form of migraine called vestibular migraine, or migraine-associated vertigo, for which she is currently receiving treatment." It looks like she will for sure return to the stage tonight. Good for her.

Rocco DiSpirito is out at Dancing With the Stars and he insists "It's all gravy! This was a wonderful experience and there’s nothing to complain about." His voting off was a asurprise to...well...no one. "I got to learn how to dance. I got to make friends with Karina. I even got Bruno to dance!"

She put the "fortune" in "Wheel of Fortune." Michelle Loewenstein can afford to buy more than a vowel after winning $1 million on Wheel of Fortune yesterday. The 24-year-old floral designer and newlywed from Santa Monica, California struck it rich in the show's new million-dollar bonus round, solving the puzzle "leaky faucet." Loewenstein says she might spend the cash on a new home or car, and also help out her family.

STAR Artist Avril Lavigne and her husband Deryck have had to officially deny they are having marital problems and that Deryck is cheating on her. Recently the National Enquirer ran a story claiming those things were true.
