Well played, Vanessa. Well played. According to Vanessa Bryant's ex-step-father, Stephen Laine, she waited until she and Kobe Bryant had their ten-year anniversary until she filed for divorce. Why?

"In California ... it's considered a long-term marriage and then she gets paid for life or until she remarries ... just like her mother is doing to me," Laine said.

"I have to pay her mom $1,800 every month and clearly they don’t need it."

On Monday, the public watched intently as the verdict was read to Dr. Conrad Murray. As it was announced that he was found guilty of the manslaughter of Michael Jackson, a crowd of cheers erupted outside the courthouse. People were ecstatic to see justice get served to someone they've probably never met before.

The public has an intense fascination with celebrity trials. Publicists and the media can manipulate most celebrity events, whether it's a new romance, a paternity suit or a divorce. And most of the time, we're not 100% sure if what we know is real or not. But when we see those stars in court, on trial, there's no denying the reality of what they're dealing with. The facts are there, the law is involved, and we see those celebs humanized. They go from characters on the covers of magazines to real citizens at the mercy of the judicial system. So we're rounding up the top five celebrity trials of the century.

5. The Jennifer Hudson Family Murders: When Jennifer Hudson won an Academy Award, she was on top of the world. Unfortunately, that came crashing down in 2008, when the bodies of her mother and brother were found murdered in the family's Chicago home. Darnell Donerson and Jason Hudson were both shot to death. Three days after they were found, the body of Hudson's 7 year-old nephew was found in a SUV on the West Side. William Balfour, Jennifer's brother-in-law, became the prime suspect on December 2008. He plead not guilty. A month later, he was charged with first-degree murder and home invasion.

I know being a Hollywood native means I have to automatically love the Lakers, but seriously, since when is Kobe Bryant a movie star?

Kobe is set to not only get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but he's going to become the first athlete to have a hand and foot print ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Hello...that's reserved for actual movie stars!!

Screen legends like John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe and Brad Pitt have their hands and feet set in cement in front of the Hollywood landmark and now all of a sudden a basketball player in moving into the neighborhood? WTF?!

The ceremony is set to take place on Feb. 19, the day before the All-Star game at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Is the city of Los Angeles that broke? They must be doing this to up the tourists in Hollywood. The gift shops are probably suffering and they figure if they give Kobe a foot print ceremony die-hard fans will come out to see him in action.

I'm all for him getting praise for being a great athlete, but getting his own footprints next to the biggest movie stars is just ridiculous. He's never even been in a movie, and no, being in an episode of Moesha doesn't count!
