Even celebrities find themselves in difficult situations and divorce is one thing that many of them have in common with the rest of us. When celebrities divorce, we feel their pain. Those of us who have been through a divorce know exactly what they are feeling. We may not have met the superstars but we identify with them and this bond becomes stronger when they experience something that we have.

Gossip About This…
She may be familiar with divorce in her role on the television show Gossip Girl, but actress Kelly Rutherford is experiencing the pain of it in real life.

Ochocinco becoming Ocho-single
Chad Johnson (formerly Ochocinco), a former wide receiver for the NFL, countered the divorce proceedings from his new wife, Evelyn Lozada, with a filing of his own. Just one month after receiving divorce papers from his wife stating that their marriage was “irretrievably broken,” Johnson issued his own divorce filing last week. The Miami Dolphins dropped Johnson after he was arrested in August for allegedly headbutting Lozada. Johnson and Lozada married on July 4 and the former NFL star has requested enforcement of their prenuptial agreement.

Arguably the most explosive celebrity divorce news this year, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise (TomKat) finalized their split in August, ending their five years of marriage. Holmes recently celebrated her single status by purchasing 15 pairs of high-heeled shoes from Christian Louboutin. Since she will no longer be posing for pictures with Cruise, she can look as tall as possible.
