Vanessa Bryant, the wife of NBA star Kobe Bryant, filed for divorce Friday afternoon, citing “irreconcilable differences.” They were married 10 and a half years.
Sources say that Vanessa decided to end the marriage because she thinks the Los Angeles Lakers guard has been unfaithful … and not for the first time.
As one source close to Vanessa put it, “She’s been dealing with these incidents for a long time and has been a faithful wife, but she’s finally had enough.”
“This one is the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
Vanessa Bryant famously stuck by Kobe after he was charged with sexually assaulting a Colorado woman in 2003 (he was acquitted of all charges).
Apparently the cheating didn’t end there, though, and while Kobe “desperately” wants to win her back and will do “whatever it takes” … good luck.
Vanessa is asking for joint custody of their two daughters, Natalia, 8, and Gianna, 5, but is asking that the basketball superstar get visitation rights
There is no prenup, so 29-year-old Vanessa is entitled to half the empire built over the last decade by NBA MVP and five-time champion Kobe, 33.
She’s also requesting spousal support, which Kobe will pay. The Bryants released a joint statement saying they have “resolved all issues” privately.
No word on whether Kobe plans on changing his uniform number yet again or if Vanessa plans on joining the new season of VH1′s Basketball Wives.
SIDE NOTE: That $4 million ring Kobe gave Vanessa after the 2003 scandal – later referred to as “the Kobe special” by Tiger Woods – all hers. Gift, babe.

Nancy Grace is great at blowing smoke about Amanda Knox or Casey Anthony.
She could not catch fire on Dancing With the Stars Monday night, however.
Despite wearing a red wig, red eyelashes and a flirty, fringed dress … her jive just didn’t ignite very well at all. “This wasn’t a good dance for you,” judge Len Goodman said, not mincing words as always. “It was a disappointment for me.”
She earned 21 points for it, giving her 44 out of 60 for the evening. That has her in last place. Think she’ll be going home tonight? Watch her possibly final routine below:

Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff had a great run, but ultimately fell short of the finals on last night’s Dancing with the Stars results show.
The Karate Kid star says his elimination wasn’t exactly a shock, but insinuated that the judges dug a hole for himself and Karina Smirnoff.
“We feel like the comments from the judges last night put us in a pretty tough position – even for our fan base – to pull it out,” he says.
“That was unfortunate because I thought some of the comments were disrespectful and not constructive for how I can better myself.”
The actor felt like the judges were “making fun” of him and Smirnoff, and wasn’t pleased. “I thought we earned respect over the season.”
“It just felt like the playing field wasn’t level for some reason last night. That was disappointing. But I was ready for this [elimination].”
Disrespected or not, it’s hard to argue that any of the top three don’t belong on merit, something that Macchio acknowledges freely.
Macchio believes Chelsea Kane is the best dancer of the remaining stars competing on the show, but thinks it’s anyone’s Mirror Ball.
Who do you think will bring it home?

Four down. Seven to go. How do you assess the Dancing With the Stars field headed into tonight? Below, THG ranks the remaining competitors, bottom to top.
Take a look at our breakdown and vote in our survey below …
7. Kendra Wilkinson and Louis van Amstel: She improved last week, but still lands at the bottom of our rankings. Can her fan base keep her on the show?
6. Romeo and Chelsie Hightower. Romeo’s got swag and he’s been more charming and high-scoring than we’d have guessed. Still a long way to go, though.
5. Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke. With a lovely Viennese waltz, Chris proved he belongs last week. But will the voters keep him around too much longer?
4. Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas. Improving fast and closing the gap. Plus, he’s dating Pia Toscano and she’s dating Stephen Colletti, so they’re on Cloud Nine.
3. Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovksiy. She’s overcome mishaps and mediocre scores, and remains a strong contender. Needs to step it up to win.
2. Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff. Despite some negative comments and some off weeks, we still see Ralph as a serious Mirror Ball threat. You?
1. Hines Ward and Kym Johnson. Hines has charisma, and earned the highest score of the season last week. The way he’s going, a 30 doesn’t seem far off.
What do you think? Are right on target? Way off base? How would you rank the dancers competing on the ABC show? Leave a comment below and tell us.
Then vote: Who will win Dancing With the Stars?
