Emilie de Ravin, who plays Claire Littleton on ABC’s “Lost,” has separated from her husband after six months of marriage, her spokesman said Wednesday.

The 25-year-old Australian actress and actor Josh Janowicz, also 25, were married in Melbourne in June, publicist Jeff Raymond said. It was the first marriage for both. They have no children.

Besides “Lost,” de Ravin’s credits include the horror film “The Hills Have Eyes” and TV’s “Roswell.” Janowicz appeared on TV’s “Cold Case” and was the “hot priest” in the 2003 movie “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.”

Michael Jordan and his wife, Juanita, filed for divorce Friday after 17 years of marriage. “Michael and Juanita Jordan mutually and amicably decided to end their 17 year marriage,” the couple said in a statement issued through their lawyers. “A judgment for dissolution of their marriage was entered today. There will be no further statements.”

Juanita Jordan previously filed for divorce in January 2002, but withdrew her petition a month later when the couple announced they were attempting a reconciliation.

During her last divorce petition, Jordan said attempts to reconcile their marriage had failed and future ones “would be impractical and not in the best interests of the family.”

The couple met at a Chicago restaurant during his second season with the Bulls and were married Sept. 2, 1989, in Las Vegas. They have three children: Jeffrey, Marcus and Jasmine.

The 43-year-old Jordan, a part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, led the Bulls to six NBA titles and was a five-time league MVP. He lives in Highland Park, Ill.

Sandra Oh is legally on the market again. But, there are still strings attached to her divorce.

TMZ has obtained a copy of Oh’s official divorce decree, which was entered on December 21 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The “Grey’s Anatomy” star married Alexander Payne, the director of “Sideways,” back in 2003. Oh filed for divorce in April, 2005.

According to legal documents, the couple has not resolved financial differences. Court papers reveal that they must still resolve six money matters, including who gets what when it comes to pension and retirement funds.

Oh’s lawyers filed a declaration explaining that the couple wanted the divorce decree this year, in order to file separate tax returns.

No word on why it has taken a year and a half to seal the deal on this split — and it’s still not over.

Britney Spears has been on countless booze-fuelled nights out since splitting with husband Kevin Federline last month, and now it seems she likes to have her little sister in tow.

Britney, 25, took 16-year-old Jamie-Lynn Spears to a seedy tattoo parlour in Los Angeles for a late-night visit. It’s unclear exactly what happened there last night, but perhaps the singer was having a little redesign work done.

Two years ago she and K-Fed had matching dice tattooed on their wrists as a symbol of their enduring love. According to an eyewitness last night she was having hers altered into something less embarrassing.

UPDATE: Turns out Britney wasn’t redesigning her dice tattoo – she was getting a new one!  She got a star on her right hand!

The Dixie Chicks are getting ready to fly the coop!

The controversial country superstars have secretly decided to split up after the Grammy Awards – because Emily Robison and Martie Maguire no longer want to share the nest with outspoken Natalie Maines, say sources.

“The Chicks are tired and wrung out,” said a group insider. “They feel they’ve come to the end, and they want a break from each other to spend more time with their families.”

The three women, who have seven children among them, are at odds over Natalie’s blunt political ramblings. And while sources say sisters Emily and Martie share many of Natalie’s anti-George W. Bush views, they feel her public rants have taken the focus off their music.

“They’ve supported many of her political beliefs, even though it’s put their lives and the lives of their families in jeopardy,” said the insider.

“They’ve received death threats, and it’s made them all nervous wrecks.”

When Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe revealed they were divorcing in May, most fans figured the double Oscar-winner had gotten too famous for her lower-profile husband.

“Absolutely not,” Swank, 32, says in a new interview.

“Millions of men and women fall in love, get married, then get divorced,” she says in the January issue of Reader’s Digest.

“If what happened to me helps someone realize they’re in a great relationship and to hold the person closer, then do it. If it makes someone realize they’re in an unhealthy relationship that is making them both unhappy, then it’s not the end of the world.”

So how did Swank survive the split? “You rely on your friends when you go through something so big,” she says. “My friends are my family.”

It probably doesn’t hurt that Swank, whose new movie, Freedom Writers, opens in January, has bounced back with a new man: John Campisi, one of her agents at Creative Artists Agency. “I’m dating a great guy,” she tells the magazine.

She might be getting over the emotional bruises of her divorce, but she hasn’t quite recovered from one of her past movies: “I have some problems with elevated mercury in my system,” she says. “I wasn’t eating meat when I was filming Million Dollar Baby but had to put on 19 pounds of muscle. So I ate a lot of fish.”

Actress Bridget Moynahan and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady have split, a rep for Moynahan said in a statement on Thursday.

“(They) amicably ended their three-year relationship several weeks ago. We ask for your respect and consideration of their privacy. No further comments will be made.”

Moynahan, 35, a former model, stars in the ABC drama Six Degrees but is best known for playing Mr. Big’s (Chris Noth) socialite wife on Sex and the City.

The 29-year-old Brady – named one of PEOPLE’s 50 Most Beautiful People in 2002 – became the youngest quarterback ever to win a Super Bowl (in the New England Patriots’ 20-17 upset over the St. Louis Rams in 2002) and also led the Patriots to Super Bowl victory in 2003 and 2004.
