I think it’s safe to say neither Jennifer Lopez nor Marc Anthony were in a rush to finalize their split. After announcing their split nearly three years ago, their attorneys filed documents at LA Superior Court to finalize their divorce on Monday. Of course this means the details are coming out. RELATED: Marc Anthony and Chloe Green split.

People reports that although Jennifer and Marc share legal custody, Jennifer gets primary physical custody. Marc gets physical custody for seven days out of each month. The divorce also details how the two will split holidays and such.

Yet, interestingly, the papers stipulate that when Marc has the kids, a nanny must be present, according to TMZ. Each parent gets the right to take Max and Emme trick-or-treating, so they’ll get to go twice each year if both parents want to do it. That’ll be fun for the twins- LOL. The divorce papers also stipulate that both parents are to use their “best efforts” to shield the kids from “aggressive news organizations and photographers.” So no photo-ops with the Anthony twins!

Neither Jennifer nor Marc is getting alimony or child support. I had almost wondered if the two might reconcile since Jennifer split from Casper Smart and Marc split from Chloe Green, but I guess the answer to that is “No.”

Oh boy. Marriage hasn’t toned down Kanye West in the slightest (not that anyone was expecting it would). Kanye said he and Kim Kardashian spent four days of their honeymoon getting the above wedding pic just right. He explained why during a panel at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity yesterday. RELATED: Is Kanye dissing Jay Z after wedding snub?

Kanye said they had to work hard on the Instagram pic because celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz backed out at the last minute.

Annie Leibovitz pulled out right before the wedding. I think that she was, like, scared of the idea of celebrity. Because Annie pulled out, I was like, ‘Okay, I still want my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz,’ and we sat there and worked on that photo [above] for, like, four days because the flowers were off-color.
“Let me tell you something about that kiss photo that my girl put up … this was pi**ing my girl off during the honeymoon, she was exhausted because we worked on the photo so much. Can you imagine telling someone … who’s the No. 1 person on Instagram, ‘We need to work on the color of the flower wall,’ or the idea that it’s a Givenchy dress, and it’s not about the name Givenchy, it’s about the talent that is Riccardo Tisci — and how important Kim is to the Internet. And the fact the No. 1 most-liked photo [on Instagram] has a kind of aesthetic was a win for what the mission is, which is raising the palette.”

FOUR DAYS trying to get the flower colors right. I bet Kim was ready to scream– LOL. Kanye also talked about the importance of having taste.

I think bad taste is vulgar — it’s like cursing. I believe the world can be saved by design because, what is the most vulgar thing someone could do? Kill someone, so good taste is the opposite of that.”

Okay. Comments can be very revealing, can’t they? I think Kanye equates attention with importance. I’m not sure I agree with him (actually, I know I don’t), but I understand where he’s coming from.

TRANSFER Balls: Having reported that Arsenal ‘lifer’ Thomas Vermaelen has committed his future to the Gunners and agreed to join Manchester United, the media looks for a new angle:

The Daily Mirror reports:

Arsene Wenger could look for a part-exchange deal with Manchester United over Thomas Vermaelen, writes John Cross.

Could.

The Arsenal boss has been keeping tabs on Tom Cleverley and also has an interest in Chris Smalling.

This guessology would be passable were it not for the fact that at the top of the story, the Mirror’s headline ponders:

Arsenal transfer rumours: Nani wanted as parted of Thomas Vermaelen swap deal?

So. Just three United players, then, that the cagey Wenger wants at Arsenal. Maybe.

The Guardian continues the Mirror’s schtick of writing a story around a question by reporting:

Football transfer rumours: Arsenal in for Tom Cleverley and Chris Smalling?

The simple rule is never to click on a headline with a question in it. We’ll do it for you. Or just reply “no”.

Rob Bleaney writes below the headline:

After Manchester United opened talks with Thomas Vermaelen about a £10m move to Old Trafford, Arsène Wenger wants to return the favour and take some dead wood off Louis van Gaal’s hands by moving for Tom Cleverley and Chris Smalling.

You might recall that the Telegraph says Arsenal club captain Thomas Vermaelen has agreed a deal to join Manchester United this summer. Bleaney goes on:

Quite why Wenger would desire a small, tricky playmaker such as Cleverley having passed up the opportunity to sign Cesc Fábregas because he is so well stocked in that area is anyone’s guess, but Wenger knows.

Is it because Cleverly is English, cheaper, younger and hungrier?

A bid for Smalling to cover for the losses of Sagna and Vermaelen makes more sense, apart from the fact the former Fulham man is rubbish both at right-back and in the centre of defence.

Shhh! Wenger might be listening. And, yes, that is the Wenger who was the subject of the April 2013 Daily Mail statement:

We won’t sell any more players to United after RVP, insists Arsenal boss Wenger

Such are the facts…

Zendaya, formerly the star of Disney’s Shake It Up and the runner up on Season 16 of Dancing With The Stars, has just landed the role of a lifetime… on Lifetime.

According to Variety, the singer/actress is set to star as the late R&B singer Aaliyah, who died in a plane crash in 2001 at the age of 22, in a Lifetime bio pic titled Aaliyah: Princess of R&B.

For her role, Zendaya will actually be recording four of Aaliyah’s songs which will be used in the bio pics soundtrack.

WHAT does you dog like to drink?

Sweat?

Toilet water?

Pop for dogs?

One pooch in Louisville, Kentucky, had his drinking bowl filled with petrol.

No. Not that Petrol. We mean gasoline.

We know this because when the dog’s home caught fire, his owner reached for his bowl. She says she thought the bowl was full of water. It would douse the flames. But her 3-year-old daughter had, unbeknownst to her, filled it with gasoline.

She threw the liquid. And – whoosh! – the blaze spread.

The dog’s whereabouts are not known, but if you find a dog huffing gas in your kitchen don’t light a match…

SO. CESC Fabregas the man with Barcelona “DNA” and Arsenal in his heart has joined Chelsea. Good for him. But no-one really likes him. He is just about the most disloyal player on the market.

Reaction to the move been noisy. It seems that Fabregas can’t do right by anyone (except his bank manager).

The Times says he’s upset Chelsea fans:

Cesc Fàbregas risks Chelsea anger after revealing Arsenal regrets

Cesc Fàbregas risked angering fans of his new club after completing a move to Chelsea for £29.5 million last night when he appeared to regret being denied the chance of a return to Arsenal.

He did. He said Arsenal had the first option to take him but rejected the chance to buy back their former captain. Good that they didn’t. Fabregas agitated to leave Arsenal. He even took a pay cut to go. How’s that for love, Gooners?

Cesc the self-declared Arsenal fan (“I will always be an Arsenal fan”), who agitated for a move to Barcelona – who said “my whole family are Barcelona supporters”; who said in 2011, “If some day I leave Arsenal it will never be to sign for another English team. I’m very sure” - is not that popular amongst Arsenal fans who should have stopped swallowing his marketing-led balls the minute their captain popped on a Barcelona shirt. And Chelsea fans have realise the kind of self-serving character they’ve bought. As one Blues fans says:

Here we go again. Only 12 months after the relief of getting rid of Rafa Benitez, the faithful at Stamford Bridge are being asked to warm to his on-field equivalent… Cesc Fabregas.

But surely Barcelona still love him? No. They don’t. Because their club statement following his sale oozed:

Despite glowing starts to each campaign, Cesc’s contributions to the cause gradually decreased as each season drew to a close. From being someone who joined in with the attack, supplying and scoring goals, the magic tended to fade later on in each season. He only scored one, six and one goals in the last 24 games of each season. For some reason, he was never as good in the second half of a season as in the first.

So. That’s Cesc Fabregas, a very good player who could have been a club great but chose instead to be opportunistic  mercenary.

As they say at Arsenal: “NEXT!”

MADELEINE McCANN:  The Sunday Express front page leads with the sensational headline: “I killed Maddie, you’re next.”

The story is that British woman Clara Corrigan claims that the man who stabbed her in Portugal screamed: “I killed Madeline McCann and I’m going to kill you.”

This “EXCLUSIVE” was published on May 31 by the Portugal Resident:

Released from hospital with her lower back and buttocks swathed in bandages, Albufeira stabbing victim Clara Corrigan has talked to journalists about the frenzied attack suffered last Thursday and revealed that her British assailant shouted “I killed Maddie McCann and I am going to kill you” as he stabbed her repeatedly.

The story of the then 40-year-old from Liverpool was first reported by the  Correio da Manhã newspaper:

“He was in a bar with friends. We had some drinks and he must have put something in my drink because I don’t remember anything more. I woke up with him on top of me, suffocating me. Then he shouted “I killed Maddie McCann and I am going to kill you”.

Her 22-year-old attacked is known only as Shane.

Note: the Express’ photo-headline juxtaposition is not a veiled threat to Duchess Kate Middleton. (Or is it?)
