Richie Sambora busted for drunk driving

Hi I'm Rebecca Field with today's UPI entertainment update on this Thursday, March 27, 2008.

Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora if facing drunk driving charges. The musician was arrested Tuesday night when police saw him weaving down a southern California highway. He reportedly had his girlfriend, his 10 year old daughter, an another unidentified young girl in the car with him at the time. He was apparently released from police custody early yesterday morning. Sambora's arraignment is set for May 7.

Robin Williams' wife is reportedly filling for divorce. The actor's rep says his wife of 19 years Marsha filed papers in San Francisco last week citing irreconcilable differences. The pair have two kids together...18 year old Zelda and 16 year old Cody. Court papers show she's looking t get joint legal custody of Cody...but requesting he live with her and Williams get visitation rights. She's also reportedly requesting he pay attorney fees and spousal support.

Another celebrity couple is calling is quits...Kimora Lee Simmons filed for divorce from music producer Russell Simmons earlier this week citing irreconcilable difference. The couple first publicly announced they were splitting two years ago. Kimora is seeking primary legal and physical custody of their two daughters...with only supervised visits allowed for Simmons.

Boxing champ Laila Ali is going to be a mom. The former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant tells Essence magazine she and her husband former NFL star Curtis Conway are expecting. Ali says she "I am 100 percent undeniably happy." The pair married last July in California.

Meanwhile another pro boxer is gearing up for his next challenge...Wrestlemania 24. Lightweight boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr...also known as "Money" will compete in the competition on Sunday. The boxing champ met face to face with his more than 400 pound opponent "Big Show" at a press conference yesterday. Mayweather is the first boxer to step into the wrestling ring...but other pros like Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali have served as referees in past matched.

That's all for now. Check out a new segment on upi.com called "Healing and Hearing Animals."
