• Adult film actress Stormy Daniels is getting a divorce from her husband Glendon Crain. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, became a household name after claiming she slept with President Donald Trump over a decade ago. She has been married to fellow porn star Crain since 2015. "My client Stormy Daniels and her husband Glen have decided to end their marriage," Michael Avenatti, Daniels' attorney, tweeted. "A petition for divorce was filed last week, the accuracy of which is vehemently disputed." The divorce filing was made by Crain, according to TMZ. Daniels and Crain have a daughter together. "Stormy's daughter remains her number one priority," Avenatti added in his tweet. "She kindly asks for privacy for the sake of her family." Crain -- who professionally goes by Brendon Miller -- has reportedly filed for a restraining order against Daniels. The divorce will be the third for Daniels, 39, who was previously married to Pat Myne from 2003 to 2005 and Mike Moz from 2007 to 2009. Daniels has claimed she had sex with Trump in 2006. The president's wife, Melania, to whom he has been married since 2005, gave birth to their son Barron in March of that year. Daniels also said in the interview that she was paid $130,000 by Trump's attorney to keep quiet about the alleged fling ahead of the 2016 presidential election -- a payment that had been previously reported. Trump's team has denied the affair.

Tom Wopat, the former star of The Dukes of Hazzard television show, has pleaded guilty to inappropriately touching two women in the cast of a musical in Massachusetts in which he starred. Prosecutors said Wopat, 66, was sentenced Friday to a year of probation after pleading guilty to two counts of annoying and accosting a person of the opposite sex. Prosecutors said he was also ordered to stay away from and have no contact with the two victims and must undergo counseling. The New York City resident was charged last August with touching two female cast members while rehearsing for 42nd Street at the Reagle Music Theatre in Waltham. Wopat, who played Luke Duke on the popular 1980s television show, also received a continuation without a finding for one year after admitting there were sufficient facts on a charge of cocaine possession. The drugs were found on his person during his arrest.
