Robin Williams' wife files for divorce.

Hmmm...:shrug:

Robin Williams and Marsha Garces Williams, married in April 1989, are splitting up. Garces Williams filed a divorce petition in San Francisco on March 21, seeking to end her marriage to Williams on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.

She is in her early 50s; he is 56. They married soon after Williams' divorce from Valerie Velardi, to whom he had been married for 10 years. Williams' and Garces' daughter, Zelda, was born in July of that year; their son, Cody, in 1991.

Williams and Garces met while she worked as a nanny for Zachary, born in 1983 to Williams and Velardi. Garces subsequently worked as personal assistant to the comedian. Four years after their marriage, in a New York Times interview, he said, "I don't need to go out to a club now and get a little bit of intimacy from 100 or 200 people. Now I can get that talking to friends around the table."

3. I'm worried this is a sign his latest rehab didn't go so well--

I hope not because I love Robin, and he and Marsha seemed to really be good together.

Sad news.

[NMDemDist2]

let's hope not....

2. Oh yes, Divorce

the splits. Ever see a figure skater do the splits and go "oooh it's cold down there, I wish I had the clap to keep me warm". Clapping is such a silly thing isn't it? Hey, I like that, I'll bang my hands together and make more noise so I can't hear you any more. We clap our hands together when we're happy, and stomp our feet when we're mad, I wonder what that makes people headbanging at metal concerts. Thousands of Metallica fans going "I am really indifferent about your performance!"

Yes!

surprised by this. I think he's put her through hell at times.
