The saga of LisaRaye and her estranged husband, Turks & Caicos Premier Michael Misick, is, of course, not anywhere near over. Rumors have been swirling that LisaRaye was engaging in a few extramarital activities herself, allegedly with Gary Payton. Now, Essence has posted photos of the injuries LisaRaye sustained during her last, fateful trip the presidential mansion. It's like an ugly trainwreck. I want to, but I can't look away.

Now that Morgan Freeman's surgery is over and he's out of the woods, his business partner has announced that the venerable actor and his wife of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee, have been separated since November and are undergoing divorce proceedings. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this announcement is directly related to the fact that Morgan Freeman was in the car with a woman whose name was not Myrna Colley-Lee when he got in his accident Sunday night.

There you have it, folks — Freeman wasn't really cheating! Our (my?) idealized vision of him remains intact. [US]

KIMORA WANTS IT ALL Although original reports about the official divorce between Kimora Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons said otherwise, Russell wants joint custody even though Kimora initially requested sole custody when she filed for divorce in March. Sole custody sounds extreme, particularly considering the outward appearance of their relationship, but maybe she knows something we don't. [TMZ]

The rumors about Al Reynolds sexuality have dogged him and Star Jones since before they even got married, and now it's all over. There's no telling if Al's rumored extracurricular activities are what caused Star to finally file for divorce a month ago, but who are we kidding? Here's what she said to Entertainment Tonight:

"Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts… I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."

This statement is filled with good advice for publicity hungry celebrities (I'm talkin' to you, Eva Longoria-Parker) — if you don't want the press to cover your inevitable possible future divorce, you shouldn't invite them all to the wedding.

A DIFFERENT DIVORCE Jasmine Guy has just filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Terrence Duckett. No worries — Whitley Gilbert and Dwayne Wayne are still happily married in TV Land.

Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons, the most content (as long as Porschla Coleman isn't around) estranged couple in all of the land, are about to graduate from separated to divorced. Kimora filed for divorce in LA Tuesday.

In court papers, Kimora, 32, cites irreconcilable differences and asks for legal and physical custody of the couple's two daughters, Ming, 8, and Aoki, 5. She requests that Simmons, 50, get "reasonable child visitation … to be accompanied at all times by the children's nanny and security personnel.

I'm not well versed in child-custody language, but that sounds sort of harsh to me. On second thought, Russell Simmons would probably never want to spend time with his kids without a nanny and security. Plus, there were no rules about how much time they get to spend with Porschla. Kimora must be lightening up.

This divorce comes at an interesting time; there are rumors swirling that she's pregnant (it looks doubtful) and things are getting more serious with Djimon Hounsou. Celebrity wedding as soon as the divorce is final? I think yes.

Bobby Brown is the male version of Britney Spears. Or maybe it's vice versa. For the second time in a row, a no-show from Bobby caused him to miss out on both spousal support and shared custody of Bobbi Kristina.

"His motion was denied because there were no appearances or phone calls from Mr. Brown today for a scheduled hearing," said court spokeswoman Carole Levitsky. "As of now, there are no more pending court dates in this case."

A rep for Brown did not immediately respond for comment.

In April 2007, Houston won a default judgment in their divorce – leaving Brown with nothing financially and only visitation rights over daughter Bobbi Kristina, 14.

The following month, Brown, 38, sued Houston, 44, for spousal support and shared custody, alleging he was duped into not responding in time to Houston's initial divorce claim.

Brown says that it's all about getting to see his daughter more, but I've got to think the money has a bit to do with it, also. Or maybe he doesn't care much about any of it, since he didn't bother to show at all.

Oh, Tracy. Tracy! Just a little while longer and you would have been in the clear, free to shrivel your liver on your own time, without your SCRAM recording your every beer, your every patron shot, your every…you get the picture. Was it the 30 Rock Emmy win? Was it the divorce? Whatever it was, you drank some alcohol, SCRAM and all, and now you have to wear the device for another 80 days. If you cheat again, it's 30 days in jail. Call me a bleeding heart, but what good is a SCRAM going to for a man clearly addicted to alcohol? Can someone sentence him to a stint at Promises, please?
