All good things must come to an end, and so it is, for real, for actors Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, whose six-year marriage is officially donesville. Moore made the announcement today via a statement shared with the press.
Moore, ever the voice of modern womanhood, said: "As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life."
She's talking, of course, about rampant rumors pretty boy Kutcher was knocking boots with other ladies.
The couple have been cagey about their split for the past few weeks.
Today Kutcher tweeted:
I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi.
Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and Light, AK
However, it's entirely possible Kutcher outsourced the expression of his heartfelt emotions about his pending divorce, after his recent foot-in-mouth affliction over the firing of Penn State coach Joe Paterno landed him in some uncomfy hot water.

It seems that not even Kabbalah could save these May-December Hollywood lovers. Maybe Moore will pack up and head for Idaho, and go back to dating real dudes.
