After more than a decade of separation, Hugh Hefner is seeking an official return to his bachelor status. The Playboy founder filed for divorce on Friday from his wife and former Playmate, Kimberly.

Hefner is asking a judge to order him to pay Kimberly Conrad Hefner $20,000 a month in spousal support. That would be half of the $40,000 a month that the Playboy founder has been paying her since they separated in 1998, the records state.

He wants the monthly payments to end in two years, or after a trial on the couple’s divorce is held, whichever comes first.

Hefner, the 83-year-old founder of Playboy magazine and its public ambassador, has been living with three girlfriends at the infamous Playboy Mansion. Their relationship has been the subject of the E! show “The Girls Next Door” since 2005.

Hefner and Kimberly Conrad Hefner were married in 1989, the same year she was named Playmate of the Year. They separated in 1998. Hefner continued to live at the mansion, and Kimberly Hefner moved into a home next door with the couple’s two young sons.

Records show she filed for divorce around that time, but the petition was eventually withdrawn.

She sued Hefner last month, claiming he owes her $4 million under their prenuptial agreement and for proceeds from the sale of the home she is living in. Her lawsuit states Hefner agreed to pay her $250,000 per year for every year they were married after their fourth anniversary.

Hefner in his filings contends he paid his wife $750,000 when they separated, an amount he states he thought satisfied the prenuptial agreement.

Kimberly Hefner’s attorney in the civil lawsuit did not return a phone message seeking comment on Wednesday.

Hefner states in court filings that he has paid almost $12 million to his wife and for her home since their separation.

The couple had two sons together, Marston and Cooper Hefner, who are now both in college.

Hefner, 83, states that he has paid his son’s school expenses and will continue to do so.

Hefner founded Playboy magazine in 1953 and has since served as its pajama-clad public face.

In recent years, Hefner and his girlfriends – who have included Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt – have starred on “The Girls Next Door.” His relationship with all three has since ended and he’s now living with three new women, including twins.

When country singer LeAnn Rimes and actor Eddie Cibrian were first romantically linked in March, they insisted they were happily married to their respective spouses.

But after Eddie split from wife Brandi Glanville and LeAnn filed for divorce from husband Dean Sheremet, it appears the pair are very much an item.

As both Eddie and LeAnn announced divorce proceedings, they jetted off for a romantic holiday in Mexico to mark the singer’s 27th birthday.

The new couple, who met on the set of TV movie Northern Lights last autumn, couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they frolicked on the beach in Cabo San Lucas.

Wearing a multi-coloured string-bikini, blonde LeAnn looked happy to be photographed with her lover.

LeAnn and former Invasion actor Eddie, 36, were photographed behaving intimately on a Los Angeles restaurant CCTV camera back in March.

Natalie Portman has confessed to a love of “dirty” and “obscene” rap music.

The V For Vendetta star was interviewed by Jake Gyllenhaal - her co-star in new war movie Brothers - for Interview magazine, who asked her: “What song best describes your current state?”

Natalie revealed: “I’ve mostly been listening to dirty rap lately, that’s sort of my scene - really, really obscene hip-hop.”

She added: “I love it so much, it makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance.”

Jake asks Natalie what really scares her and she revealed it was 80s cartoon Smurfs.

She said: “Because that bad guy, Gargamel, was so terrifying. I was scared of a lot of cartoons. I’m kind of wussy like that.”

The 28-year-old star of The Other Boleyn Girl also revealed if she was not an actress she would be suited to work as a bike messenger.

She said: “I can make chit chat, but not much else. I’d basically have trouble with any job that doesn’t require me to wear silly clothes and talk in funny voices.”

Lily Allen has admitted that men are scared of her, because of the types of songs she writes.

In an interview with Elle, Allen was asked if she thought men were afraid of her. She answered: “Yes, they are.”

“I wish I’d never written ‘Not Fair’. You know, the thought honestly - really, honestly - never even occurred to me that it would scare men.”

“I thought it would empower women. I thought women would go, ‘Oh God, yes, at last somebody is saying it’.”
