Uncoupling: Love Hurts This Week For Paris & Larry, Mel & Melissa

By Madi S.

Madi S.THE SEISMIC WAVES buckling terra firma around the globe are also upending Hollywood couples.

Larry King has filed for his 8th divorce from his 7th wife -- he married wife no. three two times. The rumored reason: the 76-year-old talker was shagging his sister-in-law. Both he and Shawn Southwick, 50, filled competing papers Wednesday, and though gossips reported yesterday that the breakup may be on hold, Larry's lawyer told People that the split is "proceeding." If it goes through, Shawn will be entitled to half of Larry's reported $144 million fortune. For Larry's sake I hope the couple kiss and make up; I'm not sure he has the strength to go through another wedding, divorce and more babies. At 76 years, Larry, isn't it time to retire?

And In the category of "that was fast," Mel Gibson and his baby momma Oksana Grigorieva have quit their two-year relationship.

A source told People: "They're both working hard on their careers and trying to raise a sweet baby together. They're still friends and they'll both raise Lucia together." Seems Mel was reluctant to marry the 39-year-old Russian beauty. But who can blame him? His divorce from his wife of 28 years is still not finalized and is expected to cost him half is $1 billion fortune.

Also traveling to splitsville: Melissa Etheridge, 48, who announced her nine-year relationship with Tammy Lynn Michaels, 35, is over. "Melissa and Tammy Etheridge are saddened to announce that they are now separated," Melissa's rep told People. The couple were married on September 22, 2003 just days after the California Domestic Partner Rights and Responsibilities Act was signed into law. Reports say there's "no drama," just sadness over the breakup.

And hot off the wire comes confirmation that Paris Hilton and her boy toy of 14 months, Doug Reinhardt, have called it quits. The heiress dated Reinhardt, who has appeared on The Hills for 14 months."Paris and I ...have decided to split,'' Reinhardt told ContactMusic. "It's unfortunate that things are being said about us that are inaccurate. I continue to wish her only the best."
