Pro Tip: Don't Liveblog Your Divorce

William Krasnansky, 51, is currently divorcing his wife of ten years. He's also "posted what he calls a fictionalized account of the marriage on his blog." What that means is that he's posted excerpts from a terrible "novel" about how his wife is basically a bitch on his livejournal. His livejournal about his adorable pugs. Now a judge has ordered him to stop blogging about his terrible wife, and it could become a major free speech case. A major free speech case about a livejournal called "Look at my Pugs." Krasnansky's post responding to the judge's order—in adorable cartoon letters with backwards letter 's's, as if written by a pug—may be found after the jump. more »

Divorce Is The New Marriage

A recent mass-emailed divorce announcement made Salon's Nora Zelevansky and her boyfriend "feel like intruders, as if we were guests at a wedding for anyone other than our dearest friends and family." But these emails, and the attendant divorce parties and ceremonies, are becoming de rigeur. "Some divorcees embrace announcements and parties as a way to put the word out on their own terms and with their own public spin," Nora writes, explaining that "Christine Gallagher, the Los Angeles author of 'The Divorce Party Planner,' agrees that 'The tone of the announcement can speak volumes about what happened, so that others don't feel it's an unmentionable subject.' Perhaps Robert Olen Butler, the recently-jilted author of a Pulitzer-winning book and also the craziest email we've ever seen, could have benefited from Christine's book! She also "believes a theme party is key to salving the soul."

'Divorce' Magazine Helps "Generation Ex"

This morning, some commenters had a great idea: Divorce magazine! Good news: it exists. You can purchase either a two-issue subscription for $13.95, or, if you're pretty sure the custody hearings and bitter rage are going to drag on a bit, you can commit to a four-issue union for $25.95. Still not sure whether it's a good idea? You might want to sample a few of Divorce's offerings online. For example, in an article about how cherishing "the gifts of your marriage" could help "heal your heart," Spiritual Divorce author Debbie Ford offers some very good advice. more »

From Cold Noodles to Domestic Warfare

Beneath that PMC watermark, meet the Harvard family of party promoter Jennifer Rubell and Daniel Kim, plus daughter Stevie, named for Jennifer's late uncle Steve Rubell (the lord of Studio 54). Check the glow in the couple's profile in Harvard alumni slobbermag 02138:

Rubell, lithe, with wavy dark hair and a wide smile, has an appealingly resonant voice and is equally comfortable discussing a Francis Al s video work and a recipe for naeng myun, Korean cold noodles. Rubell's Korean food impresses even the Korean parents of Daniel Kim, Rubell's boyfriend and the father of her nine-month-old daughter, Stevie ...

How things change. From the Post:

In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Rubell, the author of "Real Life Entertaining," says her live-in love Daniel Kim turned lay-about lout after the birth of their baby daughter, and has been ignoring her pleas to leave her sprawling East Side brownstone and get a job, "preferring to stay in my home and taunt me."

Britney Spears's Floppy Toboggan

What, did you think "floppy toboggan" was some kind of sexual euphemism? Sicko. Observe: Three days in New York, and three (at least) instances of Britney Spears wearing the floppy toboggan of triumph. Kevin Federline may be the master of the Homburg (if not the Trilby), but his days of romping with this toboggan are finally over. more »

Gossip Roundup: Lohan, Hilton, Diddy Create Angry Clusterfuck

• Try and follow: At an impromptu Prince performance at Butter, Lindsay Lohan follows her mortal enemy Paris Hilton into the bathroom. They have a big fight, because bathroom activities make you edgy and angry. Lohan returns to the main room to find Diddy sitting at her table, and jokingly asks what he's doing there. Diddy doesn't see the humor and yells at her to get out. There's a scuffle with his bodyguards, and Lohan is removed from the table. Later, at Bungalow 8, Lohan and Hilton sit at separate tables and compete to see who can stay at the club the longest. This item has been brought to you by D.A.R.E. [R&M;]
