Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz file for divorce

Singer Ashlee Simpson and Fall Out Boy bassist, Pete Wentz have announced that they are getting a divorce and ending their 2 and a half year marriage.

Insiders have said that the couple has just grown apart, and Simpson cited "irreconcilable differences" when she filed in Los Angeles earlier this week.

The couple made a statement that they will remain friendly and that their number one priority is their 2-year-old son, Bronx. TMZ has recently reported that the split has been filed due to Wentz's erratic behavior, but this has not been confirmed by either of their reps.

Divorce ban may be put to vote in California

The office of the Secretary of State of California recently approved a Sacramento man's request to collect signatures to add a ban on divorce to the state's voters ballot. The campaign has been named the 2012 California Marriage Protection Act and is said to be inspired by last year's vote to prevent gay marriage in the state.

For many in the state, the campaign does not appear to be a serious effort, and many people believe that it may have been started to satirize last year's ban on gay marriage.
