Donnie Wahlberg to Wife: Actually, Please Do Go, Girl
Donnie Wahlberg's wife, Kim Fey, has filed for divorce. They have been married nine years and have two children together, ages 7 and 15. Fey is asking for sole custody of the children with visitation rights to Wahlberg, and is also seeking spousal support. So that's why the reunion tour tickets are so gee-dee expensive.
Video footage of Wahlberg celebrating at a Las Vegas nightclub this weekend indicates he's not exactly crying in his Cristal over her or anything.
Okay, so that footage is actually probably Wahlberg and his fellow Old Kids celebrating Wahlberg's birthday, which was Sunday, but the notarized divorce papers are stamped August 13, so maybe this toast was a two-fer?
The couple has been separated since January, so Wahlberg being served isn't exactly earth-shattering, page 1 news, even if people did give a shit about Donnie Wahlberg. Admittedly, a few of us MamaPop betches can count ourselves among those who kind of care about Donnie Wahlberg, in a passing sort of way, but it doesn't look as though he requires our sympathy. While giving that boisterous champagne toast, we know he's got to be thinking, "FREE AT LAST TO SWIM IN A SEA OF 30-SOMETHING LADIES DRUNK ON NOSTALGIA AND COSMOPOLITANS!!"
Also, an update at TMZ says Donnie's publicist has issued a statement that he filed first, in Ventura County. SO. THERE.
So, ladies, it's time to spray on your Love's Baby Soft, scrunch up your hair and put on some fierce slouch socks with your Reebok Freestyle high-tops, cuz it's open season on late-80s/early-90s heartthrobs!

Don't forget the tightrolls! Katie has a chance, if she can just get free of Tom!

Kind-of convenient timing, given the reunion and all. Now he can boff all the groupies and not get slammed in the tabloids for cheating on his wife. NOT saying that he planned this - but it does work in his favor.
