Debra Messing files for divorce“Smash” star Debra Messing is moving forward with her divorce from soon-to-be ex-husband Daniel Zelman. According to People magazine, the actress has cited irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split.
Messing is said to have retained the council of high profile attorney Neal Hersh, who has reportedly handled cases for fellow celebs Camille Grammer, Halle Berry and Melissa Etheridge. Per court documents filed Tuesday, Messing is seeking joint custody of the couple’s 8-year-old son, Roman Walker Zelman, as well as spousal and child support. The 43-year-old actress and the 44-year-old executive producer of the show “Damages,” who wed in September 2000, announced their separation six months ago. They reportedly met in graduate school and dated for 10 years before tying the knot. Around the time that the couple announced their split, the former “Will and Grace” star reportedly began seeing her “Smash” co-star Will Chase.

@Your 3rd grade teacher and @Hi pot, meet kettle – it is actually spelled "Internet" with a capital "I," not a lowercase "i". Nutbag Terwilleger had it right. Don't be so quick to judge!
As long as she likes to be fisted in the ass she can marry me.
What a classy comment...
Debra Messing is one GORGEOUS woman. I wish her and her family the best, during these difficult times. Wow – any man would be lucky to have her!
I thought she is Lesbianese?
Okay, we're all surprised that the author of this little nugget doesn't know the difference between "counsel" and "council"? The is the Internet, my friends. That means we don't have time for correct grammar.
Also, check the secondary byline - "Special to CNN."
She's a stringer. And we all know what standards stringers are held to.
"The is the Internet." Care to take your own advice?
The is the internet. Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, you complete and total moron. God you are so dumb it's pathetic. Ah, ha, ha, ha.
What kind of standards do you have? 'The is the internet' for us too..
It's "counsel," not "council."
I've personally met Debra. She is a fantastic woman. "Pain in the tail"? no way!
Who got her tail? Is she a true redhead? hmmmm.
the word is 'counsel' not 'council'.
She an ugly biotch.
Yea, and she still wouldn't give you a second look!

Yo Momma!
I agree with you @flea bites.
She should get a boooob job!
People like you suck
Fleabites: you should get a brain implant. IU say implant, because there's nothing inside your head to transplant.

Hollywood divorces and the term "irreconcilable differences" are so far away from newsworthy these days they shouldn't rate a blurb.
will chase ruined her TV marriage and her real marriage! Like, OMG!!!
That's exactly what I was thinking! OMG
I've seen her interviewed and she comes off as a prime pain in the tail.
Interesting that she has had two hit shows and still wants alimony. Says a lot about her.
Well, you should know! Now's your chance. Lmao
