Gossip Girl Star's Divorce Gets Uglier By the Day

Kelly Rutherford, who plays Lily van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl (and whose character is the basis for the hit show's upcoming spinoff), claims her estrabged husband is ominous, violent and bad news for their two-year-old son, Hermes.

Rutherford just filed legal papers that the judge will consider tomorrow in a hearing. Rutherford's husband, Daniel Giersch, wants the judge to prohibit his soon-to-be ex-wife from taking two-year-old Hermes to New York to film Gossip Girl.

She also says he's threatened to "teach her a lesson" by taking Hermes. Kelly Rutherford, who is four months pregnant with the couple's second child, says it's gotten so bad she called the cops twice and he's been forced to leave.

Yikes. Giersch claims Rutherford can't be a real mom because her Gossip Girl schedule is insane. She says it's just not true. More to come tomorrow ...
