Eminem gets divorced

Rap mega-star Eminem and his high school sweetheart divorced for a second time Tuesday, less than a year after they remarried.

Eminem and Kim Mathers agreed to divide property under terms of a private settlement and to share custody of their 10-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade Scott. They told a Michigan judge they understood the divorce was final.

The couple "conducted themselves with dignity and respect," Macomb County Circuit Judge Antonio P. Viviano said. "All in all, they are a very fine couple to deal with."

Eminem and Mathers remarried Jan. 14. He filed for divorce April 5. They first married in 1999 in a secret ceremony in Missouri and divorced in 2001.

He'll pimp her trailer

Newly single again, Pam Anderson has placed an order with Will Castro and his crew from Long Island's Unique Autosports that is guaranteed to turn a few heads. The sexy actress is customizing her Airstream trailer with, among other things, white shag carpeting, mirrors on the ceiling and a round, vibrating bed.

"This thing will be off the chain," Castro said. "Pam gave us a lot of wild ideas to get started with, and she's going to have a lot of fun showing off her new toy."

The entire process will be captured for the third season of "Unique Whips," set to premiere Feb. 21 at 10 p.m. on the Speed Channel.

"Pam wants everything to be in white and have kind of a '70s vibe to it," Castro added. "We'll load this thing up with all the latest in audio and video ... internally and externally. It will have satellite hookup, Internet and all the best gaming accessories."

Anderson joins fashion icon Marc Ecko, basketball great LeBron James, NASCAR champ Jeff Gordon and rapper 50 Cent as featured guests on Season 3.

Fox living pretty

"Kill Bill" actress Vivica A. Fox has entered a more literary region: "I have a magazine called Jolie," Fox tells People. It's "a fashion magazine which stands for 'live pretty,' " she says enigmatically.

"I'm editor-at-large, which basically means my responsibility is that I interview whoever is on the cover, and I also recruit cover models," Fox says.

The mag, which is geared toward minorities, has featured Fox, Tyra Banks and Kimora Lee Simmons on its cover.

"We celebrate the fabulous life," Fox says. She says Jolie is all about "having a positive attitude, and no matter what size you are, from a 2 all the way up to size 20, that you are fabulous and that you are loved and beautiful, too."

Duff drops request

Hilary Duff and her boyfriend, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden, have dropped a request for a temporary restraining order against a celebrity photographer.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard E. Rico dismissed the case against David Joseph Klein, 50, according to documents filed this week.

Duff and Madden had sought restraining orders against Klein and Maksim Myaskovskiy, 18. Myaskovskiy has been charged with stalking the singer-actress after police said he called a private security firm employed by Duff last month and threatened her and Madden.

Myaskovskiy has pleaded not guilty. He remained jailed, awaiting a court appearance.

Court papers had alleged Klein relayed messages from Myaskovskiy, his former roommate, to Duff.

The case against Klein was dismissed "based upon his apologies for any misunderstanding, his cooperation, and his assurances that he will not seek further contact with Ms. Duff, Mr. Madden, or any of their family members or representatives," according to a statement released by Duff's representatives at the Rogers and Cowan public relations firm.
