Hollywood has seen its fair share of splits, divorces and separations this year and while some bring a tear to my eye, the news of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's divorce brought only joy. Britney announced yesterday that she was officially filing for divorce from her deadbeat husband Kevin Federline. While no one is really questioning why she did it (the reasons are quite obvious) reports say there was no particular incident that drove the popstar to separate.

Britney is asking for sole custody of their 2 children while offering Kevin an adequate amount of visitation rights with the two young boys. When it comes to money Britney, made a smart choice by opting for a prenup when the two got married - good job Brit!

Although many argue that this decision was a long time coming, some are surprised that the singer (and by singer I mean Britney, not Kevin's poor attempt at being a rapper) filed for divorce while her husband was in Toronto. Perhaps it was due to his appearance on Much Music where he was outwardly complaining about Britney - nice way to treat someone who's been paying your bills and buying you things for the past few years of your life.

So will the split actually happen or will Kevin beg Britney to stay with him? Well if he's smart, he'll beg her to stay (he'd practically be homeless without her) and if she's smart she'll stick with the divorce. Britney is better off without Kevin and I think everyone agrees with me when I say he was clearly using her as a stepping stone for his career.

At least Britney's smart enough to realize it now before wasting more of her life on some wannabe singer who sucks at singing as much as he does at marriage.

Maybe we'll see the old Britney again - and maybe she'll get back with Justin Timberlake, sorry Cameron but they were always so cute together!
