Wendy Williams Is Moving Out of Her Sober House After Filing for Divorce. Wendy Williams' life is changing following her split from Kevin Hunter. E! News confirmed on Thursday that the 54-year-old Wendy Williams Show host had recently filed for divorce from her husband of 21 years and executive producer of her series. Williams' rep could not be reached for comment. It was recently rumored that Hunter, 46, had cheated on Williams and fathered a child with another woman. Neither they nor Williams have commented on the reports. Williams has alternated between wearing her wedding ring and going ringless in recent weeks and did not sport the jewelry piece at the taping of her talk show on Thursday. Back on the show on Monday, the star announced she is moving out of the sober house where she's been living in a few days. "You know I've been dealing with issues with addiction, alcoholism and I have a whole new life that I planned for myself and my son," she said as she was met with roaring cheers from the audience. "Believe me you, when you lay in a room with no TV and four gray walls all day and no telephone...you lay there and you think about your life -- this is my life at the sober house -- it's one of the best things honestly that could have ever happened to me. Because, you know, when you think about your life, you think about how you've been delivering to the world and especially here on the show," she continued. "You know, it's no secret we're friends and sometimes you don't like me, but either way thank you for watching every day. But you know, you wear a different mask when you're out here. Everybody has...whether you're a secretary or a school teacher or whatever -- everybody has things in their life that they're embarrassed to share with the world. Or they're frightened to share with the world. Or they're not ready to share with the world. And addressing my sobriety, my addiction, head on, has really helped me sort out every single compartment of my life." The star did not mention her ex, another indication that she is moving on without him. "I have a commitment to me and my son to come out of here better, stronger and faster than ever. And by the way, I will still commit -- because you'll forget about my business any moment now -- and then I commit that the motto of this show will always be, 'Their business is our business!' That's right." Williams had previously publicly expressed her loyalty to her husband amid the cheating rumors involving him. Hunter, who shares an 18-year-old son with Williams, has not commented on the breakup. The divorce filing also comes weeks after Williams returned from a two-month hiatus from her show and revealed that she had been living in a sober home for some time. (Eonline)

Lori Loughlin is ready for a fight, because she's just entered her plea in the case that could land her in prison for years ... and that plea is NOT GUILTY. Lori and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, entered pleas to all charges -- conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and honest services mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Lori and Mossimo did not appear in court ... they entered their plea via court documents filed by their attorneys. Olivia Jade's parents both face a minimum of 4 years and 9 months in prison ... and that's even if they cop a plea. As we reported, the U.S. Attorney out of Boston gave all of the parents an ultimatum ... either take a plea or the case would go to the Grand Jury and additional charges would be filed, and that's exactly what happened. Our sources say a plea bargain is still on the table. And, as we reported, Felicity Huffman has already copped a plea and faces a minimum of 4 months in prison. As for the disparity -- it's all based on the amount of money the parents paid. Felicity paid $15,000 to have her daughter's SAT test rigged. Lori and her husband allegedly paid $500,000 to an athletic coach to get their 2 daughters into USC. (TMZ)

John Collins escapes 'terrifying' fire in her London apartment. Actress Joan Collins escaped a "terrifying" fire in her London apartment over the weekend. The Golden Globe-winning actress was treated for smoke inhalation but otherwise escaped unscathed -- thanks to her keen nose and quick-thinking husband, Percy Gibson, the rep said. "They were both in the apartment. Joan smelt some smoke, and Percy went out to investigate. They discovered that the guest suite was on fire," her rep told People magazine. "Percy had two of those fire extinguishers in the apartment, so he rushed in to start putting the fire out, and Joan called for the fire brigade to come. Percy really saved the day. He was the one who put the fire out and took control until the fire brigade arrived." Saturday's incident left the "Dynasty" actress and her hubby "shaken up and distressed," but they were doing better Sunday, the rep said. The blaze erupted around 4:30 p.m. local time, according to the BBC. It consumed much of the room, leaving behind charred and peeling walls, according to a video of the aftermath Collins, 85, posted to Instagram. "The remains of the day," she captioned the video. It took about 10 firefighters around an hour to bring the conflagration under control, the BBC reported. Collins took to Twitter to heap praise on first responders. "THANK U from the bottom of my to the marvelous @LondonFire who attended to the terrifying fire yesterday in our flat. #threealarmfire My hero Percy had already doused the flames consuming the entire wall with handheld extinguisher (#donttakethisrisk). #gratitude #firefighters," she wrote. "And thanks also to the @NHSEnglandLDN #nhs #emt #Ambulance crew who took care of our smoke inhalation and comforted me. And the wonderful @metpoliceuk who kept the street closed and everyone safe. #gratitude." (TMZ)

One less off-the-field issue for Antonio Brown ... who just struck a settlement with the man claiming Brown nearly killed his child in a crazy furniture-throwing fit. We broke the story ... Brown was sued by Ophir Sternberg -- who claims his 22-month-old son was walking around the pool at a high-end apartment complex in Florida in April 2018 when suddenly "large objects started to fall from the building many floors above them." In his suit, Sternberg claims Brown tossed everything from vases to an ottoman and other pieces of furniture ... and they landed mere FEET from the toddler, who was allegedly traumatized by the whole thing. For his part, Brown denied throwing the items -- claiming the tosser was another person who had access to his apartment that day. The problem for Brown ... cops actually responded to the apartment that day and say the NFL star was "very agitated" and yelling when they got there. Cops also said the people who were with Brown that day were trying to calm him down. But, it's all furniture under the bridge now ... sources connected to the case tell us both sides agreed to a settlement and the lawsuit will not be moving forward. The terms of the settlement are confidential, but we're told both sides are happy with the resolution. The timing couldn't be better for Brown ... who's reporting to Oakland Raiders training camp MONDAY and hopes to start a new chapter in his life. Of course, Brown has other issues to deal with ... the owners of the apartment complex are still suing Brown for allegedly trashing the place during his time as a tenant. (TMZ)
