Camille and Kelsey. (WireImage)Camille Grammer was devastated when her husband of nearly 13 years, Kelsey Grammer, left her for a younger flight attendant in 2010, but now she’ll soon be laughing all the way to the bank. The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star is “very close” to receiving a staggering $30 million from her ex, according to TMZ. The amount is 50 percent of the estimated $60 million the Grammers will likely get from selling three of the homes they have on the market, including a 17,000 square-foot mansion in Malibu for $17.9 million (the other two are in Beverly Hills and Beaver Creek, Colorado).

According to the report, when Kelsey, 57, and Camille, 44, married in 1997, he was practically broke, despite his success on “Cheers” and “Frasier,” and she helped him get back in the black.

The $30 million Kelsey will reportedly pay his ex is quite a bit more than what he said he felt he “owed” her in a recent interview for Oprah Winfrey’s “Next Chapter.” The “Boss” actor admitted that he did “Real

Cibrian and Rimes. (WireImage)Your cheatin’ heart will make you weep … or send you into a treatment facility. LeAnn Rimes is seeking help for anxiety not just because she feels she’s been cyber-bullied on Twitter, but also due to her fear that her husband Eddie Cibrian – with whom she cheated on her first husband, Dean Sheremet, in 2009 – has been stepping out on her as well.

"LeAnn has had major insecurity issues since she first got together with Eddie," a friend tells Us Weekly. "She's been stressed about always being called a home-wrecker and also worried that Eddie is cheating on her. She's been on a downward spiral."

After the country singer checked into an outpatient facility just one day after her 30^th birthday on August 28, it was reported that Cibrian’s wandering eye had something to do with his wife’s breakdown. “LeAnn called a friend of hers a few weeks ago sobbing hysterically about Eddie going out,” a source close to her told Radar Online. “She was home for the weekend and he didn’t stay in with

Cooper covers The Hollywood Reporter.Bradley Cooper is probably best known for the big laughs he got in “The Hangover,” “Wedding Crashers,” and “The A-Team,” but before he found success on the big screen, he was caught up in a rabbit hole of drugs and alcohol. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote his new drama, “The Words,” 37-year-old Cooper reveals he got sober when he was 29. "I don't drink or do drugs anymore. Being sober helps a great deal … I remember looking at my life, my apartment, my dogs [when I was still using], and I thought, 'What's happening?’”

One of the crazy moments that helped him make the decision to live a healthier lifestyle was when, under the influence at a party, he “deliberately bashed my head on the concrete floor,” says Cooper. “Like, 'Hey, look how tough I am!’” Although his head was dripping blood, “I did it again,” he adds. “[And] I spent the night at [New York City’s] St. Vincent's Hospital with a sock of ice, waiting for them to stitch me up."

When Nicole Kidman was served with divorce papers by Tom Cruise in 2001, she didn’t just lose a husband – she also lost the relationship she had with her two adopted children with the actor, Isabella and Connor. In the 11 years since the split, the “Rabbit Hole” actress has only been seen with the kids a handful of times and she has gone on record to say they don’t even call her “Mom.” Now, Vanity Fair is revealing why: because she was not a Scientologist, like their father.

Bynes. (INFDaily.com)All that bad driving has finally caught up with Amanda Bynes. The former child star was charged with two counts of hit-and-run by the L.A. City Attorney's Office on Wednesday for two incidents that happened in April and August when she struck another vehicle … and then just took off.

Four days after Bynes’ April 6 DUI in which she rear-ended a police cruiser, she was accused of slamming her rental BMW into another car on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley. When the actress did not stop, the victim gave chase, but Bynes blew through a red light and got away. According to TMZ, the victim did get the license plate number and after cops determined it was Bynes’ rented vehicle, they included her in a line-up for the victim … who pointed out the 26-year-old as the one who had hit her.

One month later, Bynes was once again accused of hit-and-run when her Range Rover side-swiped another car in West Hollywood. When the actress sped away, the man called the police, who chased

Tom Cruise/Nazanin Boniadi (WireImage)How Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes first met has always been shrouded in secrecy. Although it has been widely speculated that she was selected for him by the Church of Scientology, this is something that the organization has always denied. But if the rumor is true, Holmes wouldn’t have been the first actress to “audition” for the role. According to a new report in the October issue of Vanity Fair, just months before Cruise stepped out with Holmes in April 2005, his controversial religion was looking to find a girlfriend for him, preferably one that was already a Scientologist. VF special correspondent Maureen Orth reports that Scientology officials brought in a number of its members, who happened to be actresses, under the guise they were auditioning for a "new training film." The women were also asked, “What do you think of Tom Cruise?” Of the "several" that were interviewed, one landed the part: Iranian-born, London-raised Nazanin Boniadi.

"In a month-long preparation in October 2004,

Klum. (Getty Images)So much for that amicable split. After it was reported on Friday that Heidi Klum was dating her bodyguard of four years, Martin Kristen, her soon-to-be ex-husband Seal had a very bitter response for the mother of his four children. "To be quite honest, if there is going to be somebody else in their lives, I'd much rather it was a familiar face,” the “Kiss From a Rose” singer told TMZ as he made his way through an airport on Saturday. “I guess the only thing I would have preferred is that … I guess I didn't expect any better from him, I would have preferred Heidi show a little bit more class and at least wait until we separated first before deciding to fornicate with the help, as it were,” he adds, insinuating that the relationship began before he and Klum announced their split in January. “But I guess you now all have the answer that you've been looking for the past seven months."

According to reports, the “Project Runway” host has been dating Kristen, who she was spotted getting cozy
