Jay Mohr, comedian and star of sitcom “Gary Unmarried,” is honoring his real-life marriage to “Las Vegas” TV star Nikki Cox by adding his wife’s surname to his own.  Mohr filed a legal petition last week to add his wife’s last name to his.

Mohr Cox?

No, it turns out that Mohr’s second-anniversary gift to Cox is a gesture of love and not a dirty joke.  Mohr is changing his name to Jay Cox Mohr.

Many divorces offer a reason to celebrate, so let them eat cake!

Former CNN anchorwoman Paula Zahn told friends her sexless marriage to Richard Cohen drove her into the arms of another man. Zahn said the fire went out of her 20-year marriage long before Cohen learned of her affair last August when he found his wife’s “lurid” sex diary. “She and Richard weren’t having sex for some time,” a friend said.

Friends of Cohen tell a different story: that Zahn betrayed him by sleeping with his close buddy, Paul Fribourg. “I trusted Paul and I trusted Paula,” Cohen told a friend. “I had no inkling there was a long-term romance.”

This he-said/she-said marriage implosion happens across the world on a daily basis, but such intimate details become news when it involves a naughty diary and a celebrity such as Zahn. Cohen’s friend called the diary “shocking” and “lurid.” Zahn’s friend said the handwritten diary was more about love than lust. “You know how it is when you’re first in love,” a friend said. “She was euphoric. She was like a 16-year-old schoolgirl.”

Zahn initially became famous from another “sex scandal.” In January 2002, CNN aired an advertisement for its American Morning news show hosted by Zahn. The commercial called Zahn “sexy” and used a zipper-opening sound effect. The network quickly pulled the ad after it received significant criticism for an “undignified and sexist portrayal of a serious journalist.”

“There’s no such thing as a private life anymore.”

In an angry and tearful YouTube video with over 200,000 views, former actress and playwright Tricia Walsh-Smith lashes out against her husband, Philip Smith, president of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway.

Walsh-Smith pages through their wedding album on camera, labeling Smith’s family members as “bad,” “evil” or “nasty,” and talks about how her husband is allegedly trying to evict her from their luxury apartment. She claims Smith hasn’t had sex with her for two years due to high blood pressure, then calls his secretary to ask Smith why he has condoms, porn and Viagra if he can’t have sex.

This appears to be the first case where a spouse has used YouTube to spill embarrassing secrets of a marriage in an apparent effort to gain leverage and humiliate the other side. But strip away the technology and hype of such an event, and you’ll find a sad and heartbroken woman.
