Kobe Bryant's Wife files for Divorce

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, WE NOTED THAT Kobe Bryant's basketball career is in a state of flux WITH THE CLIPPERS SURGING TO WIN OVER FANS IN LOS ANGELES. NOW IT APPEARS AS IF HE HAS MORE IMPORTANT PERSONAL PROBLEMS TO WORRY ABOUT.

ACCORDING TO TMZ.COM, Kobe's wife Vanessa has filed for divorce:

VANESSA BRYANT FILED LEGAL DOCS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, CITING "IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES."

SOURCES CONNECTED WITH THE COUPLE TELL TMZ ... VANESSA -- WHO STUCK BY KOBE AFTER HE WAS CHARGED WITH SEXUALLY ASSAULTING A COLORADO WOMAN IN 2003 -- DECIDED TO END THE MARRIAGE BECAUSE SHE BELIEVES KOBE HAS BEEN UNFAITHFUL ... AGAIN.

AS ONE SOURCE PUTS IT, "SHE'S BEEN DEALING WITH THESE INCIDENTS FOR A LONG TIME AND HAS BEEN A FAITHFUL WIFE, BUT SHE'S FINALLY HAD ENOUGH," ADDING, "THIS ONE IS THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK." AND OUR SOURCES SAY ... KOBE "DESPERATELY" WANTS TO WIN VANESSA BACK AND WILL DO "WHATEVER IT TAKES" TO SAVE THEIR 10 1/2 YEAR MARRIAGE.

ACCORDING TO THE LEGAL DOCS, VANESSA IS ASKING FOR JOINT CUSTODY OF THEIR 2 DAUGHTERS -- 8-YEAR-OLD NATALIA AND 5-YEAR-OLD GIANA -- BUT VANESSA IS ASKING THAT KOBE GET VISITATION RIGHTS, WHICH MEANS SHE WANTS THE KIDS IN HER CARE MOST OF THE TIME.

ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE BRYANTS RELEASED A JOINT STATEMENT SAYING THEY "HAVE RESOLVED ALL ISSUES INCIDENT TO THEIR DIVORCE PRIVATELY WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL AND A JUDGMENT DISSOLVING THEIR MARITAL STATUS WILL BE ENTERED IN 2012."

THE COUPLE ALSO "ASK THAT IN THE INTEREST OF OUR YOUNG CHILDREN AND IN LIGHT OF THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY SEASON THE PUBLIC RESPECT OUR PRIVACY DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME."

Kobe Bryant DID NOT SPEAK TO REPORTERS AFTER THE LAKERS' FRIDAY SCRIMMAGE AT USC.

YOU CAN check out the official paperwork here IF YOU REQUIRE VERIFICATION. TMZ ALSO SAYS THE COUPLE HAS NO PRENUP, WHICH MEANS SHE IS ENTITLED TO HALF HIS NET WORTH. INTREPID CNBC SPORTS BUSINESS REPORTERestimates Bryant to be worth $360 million, SO WE COULD BE LOOKING AT A LENGTHY, COMPLICATED PROCESS.

I DON'T WANT TO SPECULATE TOO MUCH ABOUT THE EFFECT OF DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS ON KOBE, BUT THE LAKERS CERTAINLY DON'T NEED ANY MORE HASSLES RIGHT NOW IF THEY WANT TO COMPETE FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP THIS SEASON. WITH A NEW COACH, A NEW SYSTEM, SOME KEY PERSONNEL LOSSES, AND NOW THIS DIVORCE, THINGS KEEP GETTING MESSIER AT STAPLES CENTER.

 

World Shortest Woman!

NAGPUR, INDIA (AP) — A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT IN CENTRAL INDIA WAS RECOGNIZED AS THE WORLD'S SHORTEST WOMAN BY GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS ON FRIDAY AS SHE TURNED 18 AND SAID SHE HOPES TO EARN A DEGREE AND MAKE IT IN BOLLYWOOD.

JYOTI AMGE STOOD JUST 62.8 CENTIMETERS (24.7 INCHES) TALL — SHORTER THAN THE AVERAGE 2-YEAR-OLD — WHEN GUINNESS REPRESENTATIVESVISITING FROM LONDON MEASURED HER AT A CEREMONY ATTENDED BY ABOUT 30 RELATIVES AND FRIENDS IN THE TOWN OF NAGPUR, IN MAHARASHTRA STATE.

A TEARY-EYED AMGE, DRESSED IN ONE OF HER FINEST SARIS, CALLED THE HONOR AN "EXTRA BIRTHDAY PRESENT" AND SAID SHE FELT GRATEFUL FOR BEING SMALL, AS IT HAD BROUGHT HER RECOGNITION. AFTER RECEIVING A PLAQUE, SHE AND HER GUESTS CUT A BIRTHDAY CAKE.

"I HAVE PUT NAGPUR ON THE WORLD MAP. NOW EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHERE IT IS," SAID AMGE, WHO SAYS SHE DREAMS OF ONE DAY BECOMING A BOLLYWOOD FILM STAR AS WELL AS PURSUING A UNIVERSITY DEGREE AFTER SHE FINISHES HIGH SCHOOL THIS YEAR.

"I WANT TO BE AN ACTOR," SHE SAID.

SHE MEASURED 7 CENTIMETERS (2.76 INCHES) SHORTER THAN 22-YEAR-OLDAMERICAN BRIDGETTE JORDAN, WHO HAD HELD THE TITLE SINCE SEPTEMBER.

"JYOTI ENCOURAGES US ALL TO LOOK BEYOND MERE SIZE AND TO JUST CELEBRATE OUR DIFFERENCES," GUINNESS ADJUDICATOR ROB MOLLOY SAID.

THIS WAS NOT AMGE'S FIRST GUINNESS RECORD. UNTIL FRIDAY SHE WAS CONSIDERED THE WORLD'S SHORTEST TEENAGER, BUT IN TURNING 18 QUALIFIED FOR THE NEW TITLE. SHE HAS GROWN LESS THAN 1 CENTIMETER (0.4 INCH) IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, GUINNESS SAID IN A STATEMENT, AND WILL GROW NO MORE DUE TO A FORM OF DWARFISM CALLED ACHONDROPLASIA.

HER TEENAGE TITLE BROUGHT THE CHANCE FOR MULTIPLE GUINNESS-SPONSORED TRIPS TO JAPAN AND ITALY FOR TOURS AND MEETINGS WITH OTHER RECORD HOLDERS, SHE SAID.

THE TITLE OF SHORTEST WOMAN IN HISTORY CONTINUES TO BE HELD BY PAULINE MUSTERS, WHO LIVED IN THE NETHERLANDS FROM 1876 TO 1895 AND STOOD 61 CENTIMETERS (24 INCHES) TALL.

MILEY CYRUS

Miley Cyrus is a natural woman, y'all!

The 19-year-old singer-actress showed off some extreme cleavage Sunday at the CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute  in Los Angeles. Wearing a plunging Robert Cavalli yellow dress, her buxom look led many to believe she'd had a boob job, but Cyrus says that's not the case.
