Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his wife Dany Garcia have officially divorced, reports TMZ.com. Sounds like it was amicable, too.
The two will share custody of their 7-year-old daughter, Simone and pay $5,000 a month into a trust fund to be used towards a private school, college education and other living expenses. No alimony, though The Rock will fork over $22,454 a month in child support. Dany’s a highly paid financial advisor who raked in $700,000 last year, so she’s good. Trust. Too bad more Hollywood splits don’t work out this well — on the money end, anyway.

Actor Gary Dourdan, 41, pleaded guilty to counts of cocaine and Ecstasy possession during his arraignment Wednesday in Indio, Calif., reports PEOPLE. But he won’t serve any jail time.
The former “CSI” star had faced up to three years and eight months based on the charges filed against him. (In April, Dourdan was found sleeping in his car on the wrong side of the street. Police then charged him with possession of cocaine, heroin and Ecstasy and released him on $5,000 bail.) Now, he faces no prison time, but must complete the 16-class drug program. The heroin charge was dismissed.
Thought he said those drugs weren’t his? Shazza Zulu, get it together man!!

This post was originally about a story seen on TMZ.com, sharing news that Eddie Griffin clocked a guy for dissin’ his moms — and is getting sued for it. However, the staff at BET.com stepped back and took a closer look at the story, particularly its headline where TMZ brazenly used the N-word. See for yourself. Now technically these are Eddie Griffin’s words, right? But TMZ clearly used the sensationalism of the N-word, posting it over a Black man’s face, to spark attention. Spelled out in its controversial entirety, too. They have to know this a word that still pisses people off. (Why a Black TV anchor in Alabama was just fired by his Black boss for hurling the racial epithet at him.) So this was dangerously, add stupidly, careless of them.
Don’t you think?

Danity Kane better get their girl, Aubrey. We knew she was the diva of the bunch, but geez.
From Page Six: Even though 10th Avenue club Marquee doesn’t give Danity Kane band member Aubrey O’Day the VIP treatment - she keeps going back. Apparently it’s because they love to play her songs. The D-lister was a downright diva at the club the other night. “Aubrey threw a fit because her table wasn’t ready,” explained a witness. “While she was sulking in the corner, one girl accidentally spilled a drink down the front of her dress, and Aubrey was livid.” O’Day only got over it when the deejay played her song “Damage,” and she “squealed and starting dancing like a madwoman.”
She’ll have her own reality show soon.
