After 19 years of marriage and two kids, producer Marsha Garces Williams is filing for divorce from comedian Robin Williams. She wants custody of 16-year-old Cody, their assets to be split, and spousal support. He wants a chance to hit David Letterman to see if he can coax out a punchline.
Just a quick FYI: Owning your own production has its benefits. Because David Letterman???s company, Worldwide Pants, made a separate agreement with the Writers Guild of America, the second-rated late night host can have Screen Actors Guild guests without any awkwardness and/or protests from the WGA.

Wow, Robin Williams gets turned on by women’s tennis?? Now, where could we have heard that before…

From today’s Page Six:
IT’S weird when you watch women’s tennis now with all the grunting and shouting. It’s a bit like phone sex. So you have to be very careful not to get too excited.” – Robin Williams in Tennis magazine.
