Phil Collins Divorce Breaks Records

The third time was apparently not the charm for legendary musicmaker Phil Collins, who has been ordered to pay his third estranged wife, Orianne Cevey, 25 million pounds in their divorce settlement, The Daily Mirror reports.

The British paper says the staggering payout is the largest by a British showbiz star, topping even the Paul McCartney/Heather Mills settlement, where the former Beatle was ordered to pay his ex-wife a whopping 24.3 million pounds.

Phil, 57 and Orianne, 35, were married for six years and have two children together.
