There are times when divorce forces people to do strange things. Burn sheets. Throw out clothes. Toss rings into the ocean. But when you get $100 million in your divorce, you can trump just about anything and that’s what happened with Tiger Woodsex-wife when she bought a $12 million home and bulldozed the whole thing.

[Check the before picture above and the after picture after the jump]

Yes, according to TMZ, Elin Nordegren bought a $12 million home in North Palm Beach, Fla., but didn’t like it, and has plowed the whole thing.

 

The house, which had six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, is now just rubble, with no word yet on what is going to replace the beautiful building you see above, but I guess when you have nine figures in the bank, it doesn’t really matter what you want.

Divorces. Separations. Breakups. Ignominious endings. They happen to the best of us, and they’re often messy, confusing and searingly painful.

There’s no shortage of self-help books for people mired in the throes of a breakup — and yeah, sure, they’re helpful. But Kevin Cotter, the guy who gave the world the websiteMyExWifesWeddingDress.com, refined the formula, combining his raw emotion with comedy and joining the ranks of bloggers-turned-authors with his new book, “101 Uses for My Ex-Wife’s Wedding Dress,” out next week.

Divorce Really Does Make Marriage Better! (what do you think?) 10/18/2011

The divorce rate for second marriages may be higher than that of first marriages, but don’t tell that to people on their second marriages. Many feel their second marriages are actually much, much stronger than their first. And while the statistics don’t support this notion, reason really should.

After all, don’t we learn from our mistakes?

Divorce is one of life’s most traumatic events. Anyone who has been through it likely puts a much higher premium on only going through it once. The fact is, many people marry for the wrong reasons. They marry out of fear of being alone or because everyone else is doing it. And when you marry young (under 26), you also do it not knowing how the person will change.

Every day we are married, we learn more about marriage. After nearly nine years of marriage, I can officially say I have a pretty good understanding of what it takes to make a marriage last. And it’s not undying love and passion (though those are important, too).

What really matters in marriage is a strong foundation, AKA the “boring things.” Is he responsible with money? Loving? Do you feel a close friendship? Does he make you laugh? Can he keep a job? Is he volatile or does he have any addictions? These are the kinds of things women should ask themselves when getting married.

From the outside, it’s often easy to predict which marriages will last and which will fail. But that doesn’t mean those predictions come true. Some of it is luck — my husband and I married at 25 and have grown and changed enormously since then — but some of it is also foresight. I was engaged before my husband and my inner voice knew it was wrong.

Arnold: A Passion for unattractive women? 05/23/2011

Arnold has passion for unattractive women; latest on secret son

OS ANGELES — He needs to be the prettiest face in the place!

Disgraced ex-California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reportedly picks unattractive women to bed because they fawn all over his muscle-bound bod — and are grateful for the attention in a way gorgeous gals never are.

That revelation is one of dozens dished in a “dirty dossier” compiled by now-jailed Tinseltown gumshoe Anthony Pellicano, according to Britain’s News of the World.

“He sees himself as the dominant, beautiful one,” reads the dossier, commissioned by Schwarzenegger’s political backers during the buildup to his first run for office.

HEY, SEXY!  Arnold Schwarzenegger likes non-bombshells like Mildred Baena.

HEY, SEXY! Arnold Schwarzenegger likes non-bombshells like Mildred Baena.

“The physical is most important to him and he does not want to be upstaged or lose the spotlight in company of a strikingly beautiful woman,” the explosive report reads.

The dossier also calls “The Terminator” star “an unstoppable womanizer, even worse than the Kennedys,” the British paper reported.

The troubling details of the Sperminator’s supposed serial infidelity came as a source told The Post that Schwarzenegger learned about his out-of-wedlock only son five weeks ago — the same time his world began unraveling.

His now-estranged wife, Maria Shriver, had suspected the 13-year-old boy — the same age as the couple’s own youngest son — looked enough like her famously flirty husband to be his spawn, a source close to the situation told The Post.

She confronted the boy’s mom, Schwarzenegger housekeeper Mildred “Patty” Baena, who confessed to the tawdry affair and later resigned, the source said.

It was only then that Shriver dropped the paternity bomb on her hubby.

Baena — who is now in seclusion with her son in Los Angeles — refuses to talk about the infidelity to anyone, for any price, her lawyer, Michael Saltz, said.

“She hasn’t told a single person about it, including Arnold himself,” Saltz said.

Meanwhile, the dossier included a stunning litany of sexual transgressions.

Schwarzenegger’s political buddies had ordered the probe out of worry that there were skeletons in the muscleman’s closet — and they found a virtual boneyard.

While filming the 1990 smash hit “Total Recall” in Mexico, Schwarzenegger allegedly had his longtime on-and-off lover Gigi Goyette flown onto the set for weekend romps.

“The girls on set could not understand why he was bringing this plain girl down when they were all willing and able to help him commit adultery,” according to the report.

But another mistress knew why, according to the dossier.

“She . . . confided that Schwarzenegger enjoys sex with plain women because they tend to demonstrate more admiration, adoration and excitement over his body.”

Also yesterday, actress Jane Seymour claimed Schwarzenegger has more out-of-wedlock kids he’s kept secret from the world.

“I heard about two more children,” the actress told Britain’s Daily Mail.

Arnold Father’s a LOVE CHILD! 05/17/2011

He has come clean!  Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child with a member of his household staff over 10 years ago!

 

Talk about a bombshell! Just last week Maria Shriver andArnold Schwarzenegger announced their split after a 25-year marriage. Turns out that wasn’t the only shocking announcement from their camp. Arnold has officially publicly admitted to fathering a love child with a former staffer! 

OK! GALLERY: MARIA SHRIVER & ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER SPLIT — 25 PHOTOS FOR 25 YEARS OF MARRIAGE

Here’s the scoop: Over ten years ago Arnold had a child with a member of their household staff. Yes, you read that right. Someone on their staff! As in, in their house. After discovering this truth, Maria moved out of their Brentwood mansion earlier this year. According to The Los Angeles Times (via PopEater), the staffer worked for them for twenty years and retired in January. Her name hasn’t been released.

In a statement Arnold indicated, ”After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago.” He added, “I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.”

While it sounds like he may be ready for the scrutiny, Arnold requested respect for Maria and their four children. ”I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not.”

MOM of 7 Haunted by Marie Osmond! 02/16/2011

Mom of 7 is Haunted by a Marie

Osmond interview!

You may have seen the same Oprah show I was watching, three months ago.  Marie Osmond was sitting on set with the talk-show queen talking about her son’s suicide.  And then, Oprah switched gears, asking quickly about Marie’s recent divorce.  

Marie stumbled at first, trying to pick her words carefully and then she said:

“You marry at the level of your self-esteem, so before you marry, make sure your self-esteem is good!”

I had DVR’d the show and was thankful as I rewound it to hear Marie’s  brilliant quote about three times before I had it committed to memory!

“You marry at the level of your self-esteem, so before you marry, make sure your self-esteem is good!”

Suddenly all the light bulbs went off.  It all made sense.  Why hadn’t I thought of this before?  Gesh, that would have saved a year of expense in counseling if I had heard this a few years ago.

Think about it.  Does this apply to YOUR marriage?

Have you changed or has your self-esteem drastically changed since you were married years ago?  Has that negatively affected your marriage?

Needless to say, this is a phenomenal quote and one I’m sharing with ALL my kids as they approach marriage.

“You marry at the level of your self-esteem, so before you marry, make sure your self-esteem is good!”
