Kelly Rutherford’s Divorce Makes Me Glad I’m Single

I was hanging out with a girlfriend the other night, and she was all pissed off and stressed out that her boyfriend had ditched her to hang out with some friends from his flag football team — many of whom are female. He’s a good guy, too, and a good boyfriend, but she was just really annoyed and frustrated with him, and I totally understood. “You know,” I said, “ like that makes me really happy I’m single. Sometimes I wish I had a boyfriend, but most of the time now I’m just glad I don’t have to deal with the bull.”

And Kelly Rutherford is a bright, shining example of THE BULL right now. The latest on the Gossip Girl star’s Divorce from Hell:

Kelly Rutheford (Lily van der Woodsen) has a big problem. We’ve learned she went to court last week and pleaded with the judge in her divorce case to let her go to NYC with her two-year-old, Hermes. The judge shut Kelly down, telling her he’ll take the issue up a week from today.

Now here’s the problemo. Sources on “Gossip Girl” tell us Kelly is supposed to be in New York to shoot by January 27. If the judge shuts her down next week that’s not going to happen. Producers could deal with a small delay and shoot her out of sequence, but if the delay is longer they could just shoot her — as in her character.

[Estranged husband David] Giersch doesn’t want Hermes to travel to NYC because he claims Kelly works insane hours and gets totally stressed out when she’s shooting.

OMG. Can you imagine dealing with this while you’re pregnant? Awful, awful, awful.

I also think it’s interesting that producers seem so ready to just kill off her character. It kind of makes me think she’s an enormous pain in the ass on set — which may be why her divorce is so insane, too.
