Kaley Cuoco ended marriage due to Ryan Sweeting’s ‘addiction to painkillers’


Kaley Cuoco reportedly split from Ryan Sweeting because he was allegedly "addicted to painkillers."
The 'Big Bang Theory' actress filed for divorce from her tennis player husband just days ago after he refused to seek help for his alleged "dependency" on a prescribed drug.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "She supported him but she said he couldn't make the commitment to get sober."
The family friend also revealed Kaley is "devastated" their marriage didn't work and has now been "sworn off dating."
The 28-year-old athlete, who was arrested for driving under the influence [DUI] and possession of a drug with the intent to sell in 2006, was reportedly prescribed the painkillers after he underwent surgery on his back last year.
The insider has claimed Ryan promised to check into rehab in Boston but, by the the time he agreed, it was too late.
Kaley, 29, filed for divorce from her handsome beau citing "irreconcilable differences" just days after news of their shocking split began to surface around the globe.
The couple signed a pre-nuptial agreement one month before their marriage on December 31, 2013 and she has listed their date of separation as September 3, 2015.
Kaley's net worth is approximately $45 million, while Ryan is believed to be worth $2 million.
Her divorce filing states that property and spousal support information is detailed in the pre-nuptial agreement.
Following news of the split, Kaley deleted all traces of her estranged husband on Instagram and unfollowed him across her various social media accounts.

Kanye West will ‘redo’ White House if he becomes President


Kim Kardashian West thinks her husband Kanye West will "redo" the White House if he becomes President of the US.
The 34-year-old reality TV star believes her rapper spouse, 38, who joked last month he wants to run for leader of America in 2020, will completely redecorate the official residence of the President in Washington, D.C. if he gets handed the title because he's obsessed with interior design.
Speaking on the 'Ellen DeGeneres Show', which will air tonight (30.09.15), she said: "I was thinking about how much fun it would be to be in the White House.
"I was joking with him [Kanye], 'You will have to make it to a second term.' Because he loves redecorating.
"And I was like, 'You are going to have to redo the whole White House, and we aren't going to be able to enjoy it, so we are just going to have to go with the flow.' "
The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star went on to state her husband, with whom she has two-year-old daughter North and is expecting a baby son in December, never told her he was going to announce his plans to run for President at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 30.
When asked if she knew about is prepared speech, Kim said: "I did not. That was news to me."
Ellen hit back with surprise: "So he never discussed with you he wanted to run for president one day?"
Kim replied: "That was not a discussion in our household. He is serious and I believe he is serious and I know that if he puts his mind to something he will do his best.
"I don't know if that was planned and I just didn't know about it or if he came up with that idea right then and there."

George Clooney feels like ‘idiot’ talking to wife Amal


George Clooney feels like an "idiot" when he talks to his wife Amal.
The 54-year-old actor believes the human rights lawyer, whom he married last year, is much more intelligent than he is and he often feels silly when they have a discussion.
Speaking to New York Daily News' Confidenti@l page, he explained: "Often times I feel like an idiot talking to my own wife. It's never good."
The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary on Sunday (27.09.15) with a quiet dinner at the Sunset Tower Hotel's Tower Bar in West Hollywood, and he admitted he let the 37-year-old barrister choose the restaurant because he's a "creature of habit" and will never venture to anywhere new.
He said: "I might want to just go down the street to the same sushi bar that I could eat four nights a week.
"And she's like, 'No that's not going to happen. Not for the anniversary we're not going to do that.' "
Meanwhile, the 'Monuments Men' star recently said marriage has definitely been a learning curve for him over the past 12 months but he remained tight-lipped on what has changed for him because he didn't want to "upset" his gorgeous wife.
Asked what he's learned this year, he told People magazine: "That's a good question, but I can't officially tell you any of those things because that would be wrong, and she would be upset that I told anyone what I've learned."

Jimmy Kimmel "cried a little bit" when he officiated Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston's wedding last month.
The 'Leftovers' star has revealed the TV host, 47, was so overcome with emotion when he performed the nuptials for the couple that a few tears rolled down his cheek.
Speaking on 'Good Morning America' on Wednesday (30.09.15), Justin said of his pal's performance: "It was exactly what you would want him to do. He was extremely funny, kept things extremely light, was extremely touching."
He added: "[He even] cried a little bit. He did. And then everyone did. And it was the perfect tone for the night."
Justin, 44, and Jennifer, 41, tied the knot at their lavish home in Bel Air, California, in front of 75 friends and family - including stars such as Ellen DeGeneres, Orlando Bloom and Sandra Bullock - just seven weeks ago.
And although they've been dating since 2012, the handsome actor feels more "settled" now they're officially hitched.
Asked if getting married has made him feel any different, he said recently: "You know, I feel like I've earned it in a way. I appreciate it and I look forward to being good to her."
He added: "It's hard to explain but it's a nice feeling, a settled feeling. It just feels really good."

Kim Kardashian West to name baby son Easton


Kim Kardashian West wants to name her baby boy Easton.
The 34-year-old reality TV star is keen to give her unborn child the unusual moniker when he makes his arrival into the world in December, but she has admitted her husband Kanye West, 38, isn't completely convinced of the forename.
Speaking on the 'Ellen DeGeneres Show', which will air tonight (30.09.15), she said: "I do like the name Easton. Easton West. I don't think my husband likes that name, but I do like it ... I don't think Kanye likes Easton, I'm not sure."
However, the brunette beauty is adamant she and the rapper, who already have two-year-old daughter North together, won't name their second child after a direction.
She explained: "I don't think we'll go another direction."
She added: "It's definitely not South, every time someone says South, I just want to roll my eyes."
Meanwhile, the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star, who has been craving the cheesy snack Cheetos throughout her pregnancy, has reportedly been told by doctors her baby is likely to make his arrival on Christmas Day (25.12.15).
A source close to the couple said recently: "Doctors have back timed the date of conception and they've been told their son will be born on Christmas day."
The insider went on to explain that although doctors are hopeful Kim will have a natural birth, a Caesarian section may need to take place because she reportedly suffers with the serious condition placenta accreta, which means the placenta attaches itself too deeply into the uterine wall.

"It's really fun.This is the best time of my life and I owe it all to my wife, truly."
Although they have their hands full with their two young children and their busy careers, the couple haven't let their private time slide and always try to make time for date night.
Hilaria said: "We have some babysitters that are really great. To us, date night actually means that we can talk to each other. When you go to a lot of events, it's really fun and you talk to other people, but you don't talk to each other."

Ellen Page found her life "toxic" before she came out as gay.
The 'Freeheld' star, who announced she is a lesbian last year, has admitted she felt trapped and lonely hiding her real sexuality from everyone, and is incredible "grateful" she can now live her life in the public eye freely and openly.
Speaking on 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' last night (29.09.15), she said: "I feel so grateful for it, I feel so grateful to feel how I feel now, compared to [how I felt] as a closeted person. It's a nice place to be.
