Eddie Cibrian is a one-woman guy, and he's got the lawyers to prove it.

The soon-to-be divorced actor has followed through with his promise to sue Life & Style, filing a defamation suit against the magazine today for reporting that he's been two-timing girlfriend LeAnn Rimes.

"Since the separation from his wife, Eddie Cibrian has not had a romantic or sexual relationship with any woman other than Ms. Rimes," the lawsuit states.

Citing an online article from Nov. 4 ("Eddie's Cheating on LeAnn Already!") and a story in the Nov. 16 issue (a more detailed version of the same), Cibrian's camp accuses L&S of doing nothing to verify its story, which turned out to be "rife with demonstrably false accusations."

And that article, in turn, led to "hundreds of articles" alleging rampant infidelity on Cibrian's part, the suit alleges.

Sure, it was that article...

James Van Der Beek didn't want to wait for his life to be over to be single again.

The Dawson's Creek star has filed for divorce from wife Heather McComb, five months after the duo confirmed they were separating after almost six years of marriage.

Van Der Beek, 32, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, according to the petition filed Nov. 13 in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The once very cute couple tied the knot in July 2003. They did not have children together.

After stringing together a series of TV appearances, including guest spots on Criminal Minds, How I Met Your Mother and Medium (he plays a great creep), Van Der Beek recently landed a role on ABC's freshman drama The Forgotten.

Van Der Beek had this to say via Twitter this evening: "Time to go to work. My job tonight - piss off Antonio Banderas take after take after take... 'Let's play...'"

OK. Well, he and Heather were separated already.

You know, the usual.

He may wear a boa and make his living (kinda sorta) beating people up, but Hulk Hogan is a sensitive man.

During his drama-filled divorce from Linda, he reached such a low point, he was downright suicidal.

"I actually believed in my heart that oath you make, 'til death do us part, for better or worse," he explains to E!'s Daily 10. "I actually believed everybody was on that page. It blew my mind, never been hit that hard."

One night, he "emotionally lost it," he says, and even pulled out a gun. Out of nowhere, the phone rang. It was his friend and American Gladiators cohost Laila Ali, and she pulled him from the abyss.

The paper trail may have been long but at least they're all signed.

Usher and Tameka Foster finalized their divorce on Wednesday.

The star first made his confessions filed for divorce in June, citing "irreconcilable differences" and declaring they had lived apart for nearly a year and that the marriage was "irretrievably broken."

The 31-year-old star married the stylist in August 2007, and their son, Usher Raymond V, was born a few months later. Their second son, Naviyd Ely Raymond, arrived in December 2008.

Usher filed for joint custody, but the arrangements have not been made public.

Déjà vu.

During Jon Gosselin's Sunday night appearance at New York City's West Side Jewish Center, the world's most famous reality dad had yet another public epiphany, alongside his newest companion, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.

Everything got covered during Gosselin's forum, Gawker reports, including his excuse for arriving 40 minutes late. When he got over his own tardiness, he shared on his desire to be out of the spotlight, his rumored split with Hailey Glassman and his request for forgiveness from his estranged wife, Kate.

"I think I'm just misunderstood. I'm not a fame seeker. Everyday I look in the mirror and I wonder [why I'm famous]," the reality star explained at the public event. "I don't sing. I don't dance. I'm not a Nobel Peace Prize winner. I just had eight kids and I had a show on TLC."

TLC fame or not, Gosselin says he in no way condones his actions over the past few months.

"Half the stuff I've done, if I look at my moral compass, I shouldn't have done," he said. "I know that, but I did it anyway. It's like fame canceled out conviction. I didn't grow up this way. But I have to keep on going, keep on working and providing." And in regard to his children, Gosselin stated: "I know I'll have to explain my actions."

UPDATE: A rep for Corey Feldman said the actor is hopeful he and his soon to be ex-wife "can work to resolve this quickly and amicably and he is fully committed to doing what is best for the welfare of their son."

But not to accepting blame for the split.

The rep said Feldman is "deeply hurt and saddened by this unexpected change in their relationship, and has done nothing to contribute to the demise of the marriage."

Dreaming a little dream doesn't always work.

Corey Feldman's wife, Susannah, filed for divorce last week after seven years of marriage, citing the nondescript irreconcilable differences as the reason for splitting up.

She wants legal and physical custody of their 5-year-old son, Zen, and for Feldman to pay spousal and child support. She wants her ex to have visitation rights, according to the petition filed Oct. 22 in Los Angeles Superior Court.

This was Feldman's second marriage.

Perhaps life had just gotten too, well, surreal for Susannah since wedding her hubby on the set of The Surreal Life in 2002, nine months after they met at a club.

"Six years together and we're still in love," Feldman, 38, told People in 2007. He also credited his wife and son with helping him break free of a spiral of depression and substance abuse.

"Whereas I used to get depressed or neurotic or dwell on things, I see my son's bright eyes and smile in the morning, and suddenly, I don't feel like I'm depressed anymore," he said. "There's nothing to be depressed about when you've got that."

Life is like a box of chocolates...and Robin Wright Penn is going through a bunch of icky crème-filled ones right now. Or something like that.

The Forrest Gump star and soon-to-be former Mrs. Sean Penn opens up in the November issue of Redbook about her pending divorce from her Oscar-winning hubby and the new life that awaits her and the couple's children, daughter Dylan, 18, and son Hopper, 16.

"It never [feels good]," she says of the uncoupling, which has been playing in the tabloids after several unsuccessful attempts at reconciliation.

"Yes, it's divorce; it's a given that it will be public. But...it's so disrespectful. 'You're an actress, you owe us this?' F--k you is what I say."

And that's not all she says...

Avril Lavigne is looking to make life less complicated.

The already separated singer has filed for divorce from her hubby of three years, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley.

Irreconcilable differences were cited as the reason for the split, according to the petition filed last Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The punky pop duo, both of whom were born and bred in Canada, have no kids together. They swapped vows July 15, 2006, in Montecito, Calif.

Lavigne gave their separation date as Sept. 4, 2009, though her message to fans about "moving forward on a positive note" didn't show up on her website until Sept. 17.

But apparently neither date told the whole story.
