| Reality TV Star Khloe Kardashian files for divorce Posted: 14 Dec 2013 04:45 PM PST Kardashian, 29, cited irreconcilable differences in seeking to end her marriage in court documents filed on Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Kardashian, a younger sister of the better-known TV celebrity Kim Kardashian, married Odom, 34, a former player for the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks, in September 2009 after a whirlwind romance. The wedding was featured on the E! channel reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." The couple have no children together. A representative for Kardashian declined to comment to Reuters on the court filing. The divorce filing comes after months of headlines in various tabloid media outlets about marital strains between the couple as Odom, an NBA free agent who does not belong to any team, has displayed increasingly erratic behaviour in public. In August, the basketball player was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving on a Los Angeles highway. Neither Kardashian nor Odom has commented publicly on the status of their marriage. The divorce filing asks that the wife's formal name be restored to Khloe Kardashian from Khloe Kardashian Odom. – Reuters, December 15, 2013. |
| Bruno Mars is Billboard’s 2013 artist of the year Posted: 14 Dec 2013 04:37 PM PST Hawaiian-born Mars, 28, topped eight of Billboard's year-end music chart lists, including the Hot 100 Artists, Mainstream Top 40 and Hot Digital Songs, and his 2012 album "Unorthodox Jukebox" has becoming one of this year's best-selling records with more than 1.8 million copies sold in the United States. "Bruno did well in touring and I think longevity does really well for him. His songs stuck around on multiple formats all year round," Bill Werde, editorial director of Billboard magazine, told Reuters. "He's a powerhouse, and really keeps his focus on the music in a year where conversations have been dominated by (MTV's Video Music Award) performances and PR cycles." Grammy-winning Mars, whose music crosses between R&B and pop, has established a successful career as a singer and producer with The Smeezingtons, working on songs both for himself and other artists. He also notched four Grammy nominations this month, including two of the industry's top prizes - his single "Locked Out of Heaven" picked up both record and song of the year nods. The singer will embark on the North American leg of his "Moonshine Jungle World Tour" in 2014, and will also headline the Super Bowl half time show in February. Mars's music crosses over between pop, R&B, soul and hip hop, and he is known for conjuring up different musical eras within his albums. He re-imagined 1940s doo-wop music for his 2010 debut album, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans," and revived sounds of Motown and 1970s disco in "Unorthodox Jukebox." – Reuters, December 15, 2013. |
