Originally posted 10/19/2009 06:30PM
Eddie Furlong's estranged wife is seeking to dismiss the restraining order she had placed against him, telling PEOPLE the pair are working to keep their split amicable.
"We're actually friends. We're not having a bad divorce," Rachael Kneeland says. "We just ran into some issues. Eddie did some things to prove to me that he's back on track with his life and that's all I wanted."
Furlong, who has a 3-year-old son with Kneeland, tells PEOPLE in a statement: "I am glad all of the drama has subsided."
"Unfortunately, custody battles can get nastier than I ever imagined," the Terminator 2 star adds. "All allegations have been withdrawn and Rachael and I are continuing to move forward in settling our differences and getting on with our lives. The most important thing to me is my son, Ethan, and being the best parent I can."
Kneeland stated in court documents last month that the actor's "drug use has escalated along with attacking me and threatening my life." She added Furlong had recently been hospitalized "on lockdown" after he threatened suicide.

Christie Brinkley Embarrassed by Latest Divorce Skirmish
Originally posted 10/08/2009 05:25PM
More than a year after their divorce was finalized following a nasty court battle, Christie Brinkley and her ex-husband Peter Cook are headed back to a court for another public showdown, even though Brinkley insists it's the last thing she wants.
"She's really upset and embarrassed that this is going back to court," Amy Jacobs, a spokesperson for Brinkley, tells PEOPLE. "She absolutely did not want to go to court. Peter is literally dragging her to court. She had chosen to look the other way for quite some time when he violated the confidentiality agreement by talking to Barbara Walters and other media outlets."

Christie Brinkley & Peter Cook Face Off in Court
Originally posted 10/08/2009 10:30AM
The gloves are off between Christie Brinkley and ex-husband Peter Cook. The couple faced off in court on Wednesday, each accusing the other of violating the terms of their settlement and custody agreements.
A year after their bitter divorce – in which Cook, now 50, admitted an affair with a 19-year-old babysitter – the feuding exes are no closer to getting along. The New York Post reports Cook's claim that Brinkley, 55, is trying to sabotage his relationship with the couple's two children: Jack, 14, and Sailor, 11.
Among his charges: that Brinkley failed to turn over Jack's passport so that he could go with his father on a school trip to Egypt. "She is doing everything she can to ruin my relationship with my kids," Cook said in court Wednesday. "I am trying to move on with my life and I wish she would do the same."

Usher's Divorce Turns Tuneful
Originally posted 10/07/2009 09:15AM
When life hands you divorce ... turn it into a hit song?
That seems to be Usher's strategy with his still untitled new album. He's taking an equally adversarial tone in his lilting first single, "Papers," in which the R&B star sings that he's ready to move on.
The tune, which premiered online Monday, references pivotal moments in Usher's personal life, including his decision to fire his mother as his manager. "I gave my heart and turned my back against the world 'cuz you were my girl," he sings, continuing, "I done damn near lost my mama/I done been through so much drama/I done turned into the man I never thought I'd be/I'm ready to sign them papers."
