Divorce can be a messy affair. Even if there’s little animosity between the separating parties, both may still suffer losses. Celebrity breakups can be worse, since everything’s happening in the public eye.
But for certain celebrities in creative endeavors, divorce can actually be an unexpected boon.
We can testify that scenes from the legal drama The Good Wife are far from being accurate representations of real-life legal processes. We even object to its tendency to overuse certain legal drama tropes. Still, we enjoy certain episodes that occasionally tackle interesting legal issues and depict law offices as realistically as they possibly can.
David Dobrik is a name you may not easily recognize unless you spend way too much time on YouTube. He is a semi-popular internet personality with considerable clout, particularly on the video-sharing platform. That just means he somehow obtained a number of subscribers large enough for him to be considered popular.
A memoir of one’s trip to the wilderness or the supermarket can make for a compelling read if it’s well-written. It may even rise to the level of art if it manages to answer age-old questions about the meaning of life and/or if it succeeds in making the personal, universal.
Breaking up is hard to do; more so with divorces. One would think that a parent will want the best for their children even after a divorce.

Happily Divorced is a sitcom about a Los Angeles-based couple, florist Fran (Fran Drescher) and her real estate agent husband Peter (Peter Marc Jacobson) who’ve been married for 18 years. They are coming to terms with the fact that Peter has just come out of the closet as a gay man.
We’ve all heard of employees being fired for performing poorly or engaging in illegal activities at work. But being axed for changing clothes in the workplace? Logging on to Facebook while at work? Charging your cell phone in the office? Writing your office correspondence in ALL CAPS?
Believe it or not, these and other unusual reasons have been used to justify giving employees the boot.
Many celebrities are compelling social media personas for a couple of reasons. They offer keen insights on the human experience, make searing political commentary, or are simply trainwrecks you love to see. While the likes of Kevin Hart or Chrissy Teigen may be “canceled” because of their problematic tweets from the past, others may luckily escape “cancellation” but run into lawsuits instead.
According to a Center for Disease Control study, there are approximately 4.5 million dog bite incidents in America each year. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization reports that, following dog bites, bites from snakes, cats, and monkeys are a significant concern worldwide.
Admitting that you once used an answering machine, rented a “home video” from Blockbuster, or unironically used slang words like “cool beans” and “far out” is a surefire way to reveal your true age. Not that there’s anything wrong with revealing your true age or being old, for that matter.
