But . . . but why? You make me cry, Mr. Williams. I will now go and listen to your stand-up comedy on Broadway CD over and over and over.

"irreconcilable differences" usually means "I'm fucking someone half your age"?

Jesus, Jamie Lynn, no. Just no.

Well great. Now he's going to have to go in drag to see his children.

Why do all these rich assholes drink and drive? Don't tell me you can't afford a taxi, motherfucker.

@hortense: I love you. You are such a star.

have y'all seen photos of heather and richie's daughter? such an adorable girl.

Shouldn't it be the other way around since she filed the divorce papers?

Odus is one of the ingredients in-bread.

And Richie will somehow be dumbfounded when his daughter starts hooking up with alkies.

Jesus, if she's been able to deal with him climbing up the walls and bouncing around like a 2nd grader on speed for twenty years, you'd think they were really gonna make it.

Don't drive and drunk and sure as hell don't drive with your kids!

Robin should have some wacky dating exploits. VH1 could create a show, Mork of Love.

@Ptarmigan: They all in-bread.

Jamie Lynn, is there any part of the stereotype you and Casey aren't going to fulfill? Odus? Seriously? Is his uncle a character from The Simpsons?

I wouldn't be surprised if she just got plain tired of him. That kind of manic, "look at me!" personality wears really thing after 20 years, especially if you're lots younger.

@erin: Yeah, who's going to want to deal with that chest hair now? Yeesh.

Odus! Great Uncle Odus! Oh that is gold, GOLD!!! Oh man, that marrige is sooo lasting forever.
I think we all know from whom she will be ordering the dress? M-I-C-K-E-Y
M-O-U-S-E

Didn't Robin Williams meet this woman because she was his children's nanny? Or was that some other hirsute, wife-cheating former celeb?

@hatepaperdoll: Quick! Which Disney Princess is Jamie Lynn?

@hortense: Hahahaha!

Dear God Jamie Lynn have you learned nothing from your big sister??

@eeva:The story I heard was that his new girlfriend was sober but didn't want to drive

The Williams Family didn't have another nanny hanging out, did they? Wasn't that what Marsha originally was?

Just say no Jamie Lynn, just say no!

I think 19 years with Robin Williams is about 18 years, 11 months and 31 days too much.

Can you imagine having to sit across from that guy at breakfast whilst he gave his pitch for "Jakob The Liar"? Forks. Would Imbed Themsleves. As if By Magic.

@TheUptightMidwesterner: @ihateyourescalade: Yes, she was the nanny.

@brendastarlet: Hm. And now that the kids are grown up, bye-bye Marsha. There's a conspiracy theory brewing here; just not sure I know what it is.

@myrtlebeachbum: I'd have to say she's an Ariel. She won't get to go to her Junior Prom, so Under the Sea can be her theme for her wedding!

gah. what's with dudes and the nanny?

I can think of no greater punishment than 19 years with Robin Williams. Whatever she gets in the divorce settlement, it ain't enough.

@hortense: *snort* HAH!
Dear god, I could not even imagine spending 10 minutes in the same room with Robin Williams much less being married to him for almost 20 years.

@hortense: Priceless. You never disappoint.

I know a guy named Odus actually (not the same one--at least I hope). He has a son named Boelvis, which is pronounced Bo-elvis. You'd think I was making this up, but I'm not.

Uh oh. Looks like someone forgot the rule about not twisting a woman's nipples like they were radio dials.

@southernbelle: I have a side cramp from laughing. That's hilarious! I am totally naming my next cat Bo-Elvis.

@myrtlebeachbum: Come on! They've got 70 years of happiness ahead of them!!

@myrtlebeachbum: You're a star too! And I'm a star!! Wow!!!

@hortense: AHAHAHAH that really tickled me for some reason

- i first saw a picture of her really really recently (like 2 days ago) and thought, wow she looks like a pretty normal chick wonder how she puts up with that - now i know she was as tired of faking the funny as i thought she would be

I went to a function a few years ago and sat at a table with Robin Williams' brother. He co-owns a winery and I was dating the tasting room manager.

Man, that dude was HILARIOUS. I can only imagine how fun, albeit exhausting, Robin is.

@Hamsterpants: My wife bought the vhs of Jakob the Liar several years ago in a bargain bin. She watched it once on a night when I had to work late. I still haven't watched it. That's two hours of my life I'm keeping for more important things, like making comments on Jezebel. (Does shameless pandering like that earn me a star? What exactly are the criteria?)

@alaskanbrownbear: Yes, I've noticed many more stars popping up lately.

I am not a Robin Williams fan, but this makes me really sad. I saw pictures of him from a couple days ago all sweaty and disheveled. He has struggled with sobriety and I think he fell off the wagon. (Disclaimer-- speculative) He looks so vunerable to me. I see a flash of my father, with the same issues.

That DUI with the kid in the car is some BULLSHIT. Fuck all that negligent ass noise, yo. Damn.

@tiffcat: This is what I was thinking too. Maybe where I read it elsewhere had it wrong, but if not then it's kind of strange to just assume that he's dumping her because there's a divorce going on.

@alaskanbrownbear: I thought it was just number of posts, no?

Ah, shit. If mom and dad didn't drive drunk, how the hell else would kids learn to work the pedals?

@Hamsterpants:
Granted it's no close to something brilliant like La vita e bella (christ I wish this keyboard did accents) but why is Jakob the Liar so bad? I sort of liked it, I think, in all honesty I'm not so certain now since it has been so very many years since I saw it.

@Tocsin: It was widely considered to stink like the elderly fish, but hey, if you liked it, that's cool. My problem is is that I think he's a shitty actor. His voice, mannerisms and excessive hairiness send me straight into another more dreadful world.

Let's be fair...she's divorcing him. Wording is perception, often.

@Hamsterpants:
Eh, to be honest I don't remember it at all besides the fact that it was based on a book that I enjoyed reading and it reminded me of Mous for some reason. Maybe I don't remember it at all. Anyway, fair enough.

Personally I really like Robin Williams, although I think if I was stuck being married to him for twenty years I'd fuckin' shoot myself.

Is he really ready to take on wife #3? Breaking in a new one is hard work, I hear.

Hubs is still trying to break me in but I am squeaky like new leather.

@Tocsin:
Maus* Christ, I'm becoming senile.

I just saw a picture the other day of Robin Williams with his wife, and thinking it was so nice they were still together after all these years. Sigh.

@Tocsin: `(the key next to 1) and e = è on my crappy keyboard, for future reference!

@hamburgerhotdog: I could be wrong, but wasn't that more or less what he told the last wife when this wife came on the scene?

Dear God, I can't wait for the Jamie Lynn wedding spread in People. I'll probably lick the pages they'll be so good.

Jamie-Lynn: A wedding to your worthless baby-daddy will not keep you from going to hell. It will just keep in your own little hell full of a baby and a daddy who has the maturity of a piece of okra.

@eeva: Could be. I probably missed the PSA about it or something.

@eeva:
I'm not exactly using a standard keyboard (and if I explain further how it's non-standard I'll expose myself as a huge nerd with too much free time) thus that doesn't work. But thanks!

I thought Jamie Lynn was giving the baby to her mother to raise. And I see her in a Jasmine dress, and husband to be in full on Aladdin garb. Fez and monkey included.

@StabbyMcStabberson: I do hope it will be followed by an In Style feature on the fabulous trailer in her parents backyard that the happy couple calls home.

@southernbelle: You will no doubt appreciate the fact that I have a cousin whose first name is Jeb Stuart.

@Cynica: Imagine the decor! The imagination takes flight.

My great uncle was named Eck. I think that beats out Odus anyday.

@DoNotStalk: Yes, giving the baby to Grandma to raise as well as she did Brit and Jamie-Lynn. That poor, poor baby. If I had any money, I'd totally pay J-L not to go through with it. I know it's happened, but I've yet to actually personally know of a sixteen-year-old's shotgun wedding that turned out anything resembling well.

That whole family makes mah head hurt, and I hate that we all know about this crap. Living in a fishbowl is not going to help that girl.

My great grandmother's middle name was Secunda.

Her older twin sister's? Prima. Oh, those crazy Italians and their numbering of children to remember who's who.
