Today we have a nasty divorce, an ungrateful gift receiver, an abusive boyfriend, and a swinging actress.

1) "Which TV actress has a new boyfriend with a temper? Her hipster beau is known for smacking around girls if they don't put out. Luckily for him, she does." [NYDN]

2) "Which chart-topping star is hiding a Santa secret from his model girlfriend? He's already put her presents to him up for sale on eBay." [Mirror]

3) "This former hugely popular B list television star and now really in absolutely nothing happens to be married with child/ren. She has been in this space before. She has never had what one would describe as a quiet sex life despite what her image was when she was younger. Well at this point it is getting out of hand. Seems that she and her husband have always done swinging in a very exclusive club where anonymity is guaranteed. But now, she is branching out and with that branching she is losing some of her anonymity. In fact she is seriously looking for work because of a situation she got herself into about six months ago that involved several men at once. One of them threatened to expose it all and she has had to pay hush money since. She would turn the guy into the cops for extortion but feels the aftermath would be more than any attempt at a comeback could take. Meanwhile she needs to make money to keep paying out all the hush money." [CDaN]

4) [This is about a divorce] "We called this one three months ago. The title still holds. Everything will be very, very civil on the outside. Neither is expected to publicly blab about the details. However, behind the scenes, there is a flurry of activity over money and outsiders. Both members of this celebrity couple have considerable fortunes, but one has more than the other, and wants to block the less-wealthy one from claiming a piece of that both now and in the future. The negotiations have been cautious, however, due to both parties showing interest in someone outside the marriage since the decision to split was made several months ago. One has been spending a lot of phone time with an old flame who is now married. The other has been finding comfort in the constant company of a same sex member of their staff. The attorneys will hammer out the money, but it will interesting to see if either uses the other's outside relationship as private or public leverage." [BlindGossip]
