See ya: It's all over between KIM KARDASHIAN and husband KANYE WEST, after she filed for divorce, ending their six-year marriage. Her publicist sez the reason cited as "irreconcilable differences" and Kim is looking for joint custody of the couple's four children. As far as any money from the relationship, they reportedly have a prenuptial agreement. And they have two homes --Kanye has reportedly been living at their home in Wyoming, while Kim has stayed in California with their children. FYI (North, who's 7, Saint, who's 5, Chicago, who's 3, and Psalm, who's a year old. It's Kim's third marriage, Kanye's first. I'm sure we'll all hear more about it during the final season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," which is set to premiere next month.
Not gonna happen: SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR sez she's not interested in doing a reboot of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" because she's too "tired and cranky" now, telling MARIO LOPEZ during an interview that "What worked for Buffy was that the monsters represented, they were a metaphor for the horrors of adolescence. I don't think it's me, I don't think I should be the one doing it."
Fast food (NOT!): In other words, not the kind of breakfast food you were looking for, when US Customs agents in Cincinnati, Ohio, uncovered a shipment of cereal from Peru ...that was covered in cocaine instead of sugar. The agents estimated that the 44 pounds of corn flakes (I don't wanna call them "frosted flakes" because it's a trademarked name) could have had a street value of around $2-million, 800-thousand and change. The bust was made by the Customs and Border Patrol dog, BICO, who spotted the package before it was loaded back onto another flight headed to a private residence in Hong Kong.
Pushing up daisies: Sicilian sculptor ARTURO DI MODICA, who created that famous Charging Bull statue which sits overlooking Wall Street. He was 80 years old, and had reportedly been fighting cancer for many years. The 7,100 pound bull, which was put on Wall Street back in 1989, was designed to represent the "strength and power of the American people" after the 1987 market crash.
Tube talk: “Saturday Night Live” is continuing its string of first-time hosts. NICK JONAS will make his hosting debut on this Saturday's show (Feb. 27), and doing double-duty as the episode’s musical guest as well.
Movie rumor mill: a new rumor making the rounds on the internet claims JENNIFER LAWRENCE has joined the cast of Marvel Studios' planned "Fantastic Four" reboot, playing Sue Storm, also known as The Invisible Woman. The movie is set to begin filming in Australia next month, so we should have some confirmation one way or the other by then.
