NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP)--Country singer Sara Evans said her experience as an entertainer helped carry her through her final performance last week on ABC's Dancing With the Stars. Evans had learned hours before the show Oct. 11 about racy allegations against her husband of 13 years that prompted her to file for divorce, she said in an interview aired Tuesday night on the show.
"It's a blur," she said. "The good thing is that I'm so used to performing, as you know, that as an entertainer, we just have the ability to just try to flip the switch, turn it on, do the dance and make it through the day," she said. Evans, 35, alleges Craig Schelske, 43, committed adultery, was verbally and emotionally abusive, drank excessively and frequently watched pornography in their home.
Schelske denies all the allegations. "It was always my intention to try to take things slowly," she told host Tom Bergeron. "My intention was to try everything that was in my power" to save the marriage.
"It's very personal and very traumatic and very hard for my children," she said. "Things drastically went downhill at 100 miles an hour." LOS ANGELES (AP) -- After a tumultuous 14-year marriage marked by drug arrests and stints in rehab, Whitney Houston is divorcing Bobby Brown.
The pop singer filed divorce papers in Orange County Superior Court this week, a month after filing for legal separation from Brown, Houston's publicist Nancy Seltzer said Tuesday. Houston, 43, had asked in her separation papers that she be granted custody of the couple's 13-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina and Brown, 37, be allowed visitation rights. The couple wed in 1992.
During their marriage, Brown was arrested for drugs and alcohol and Houston entered drug-rehabilitation programs twice. In an attempt to clean up her public image, Houston stepped out last month for an event in Beverly Hills with cousin Dionne Warwick and mogul Clive Davis, with whom she is working on a new album. Brown, who also has two teenage children with a Massachusetts woman, recently paid up to $11,000 US in delinquent child support after being threatened with arrest two weeks ago if he stepped into the state.
