Hemsworth seeks to divorce Cyrus after 7 months of marriage
LOS ANGELES
Liam Hemsworth is seeking a divorce from Miley Cyrus after seven months of marriage.
The 29-year-old Australian actor filed for the dissolution of his marriage to the 26-year-old American pop star in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday.
Hemsworth, whose attorney, Laura Wasser, has been involved in many major stars’ divorces, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
The two were an on-again, off-again couple for more than a decade before marrying in December. They announced their separation Aug. 10.
They have no children but said in the statement announcing their separation that they will remain “dedicated parents to all of their animals they share.”
Country singer Drake White reveals he has brain condition
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
After nearly collapsing onstage recently, country singer Drake White has revealed he has a brain condition that disrupts normal blood flow.
White told “People” magazine that he’s known about the condition since his diagnosis in January and he has been undergoing a series of procedures to cut off blood flow to the affected vessels.
He says he’s been diagnosed with arteriovenous malformation, which is an abnormal tangle of arteries and veins in the brain.
The 35-year-old “Livin’ the Dream” singer had to be helped by a band member after nearly falling midperformance last Friday during a concert in Roanoke, Va. The magazine said it was unclear if his near-collapse onstage was related to his condition or his treatment.
