Former "Real Housewife" Bethenny Frankel is stealthily becoming a real divorcee, as she has filed to continue her New York divorce case under the name "Anonymous."

Frankel and her putative ex-husband Jason Hoppy seem set on keeping their ongoing divorce out of the public eye. They apparently asked the New York court system to refile their case anonymously, reports E! Online.

Although Frankel's star may be on the decline, is it just that easy for celebrities to get their names kept secret in court?

We all know it's a cop-out to break up via text message. But you know what's even worse? Twitter.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Stewart recently found out her husband of two years, ex-NFL star Kordell Stewart, was filing for divorce -- and she got the news through a tweet.

Of course, filing for divorce is only the first step. He also has to serve her -- in real life. Here's the process for divorce in Georgia:

It's official: Kim Kardashian's divorce case is finally over, and reports say it's a slam dunk for the reality TV star.

As we all know, NBA star Kris Humphries liked it and put a ring on it, but Kim has been trying to take it off -- for a while.

Today, a judge dissolved Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries. Here's what we know about Kim Kardashian's divorce settlement:

Kim Kardashian might live for the limelight, but even she knows that not all publicity is good publicity. Kimmie K. dutifully showed up to court for a hearing to settle her divorce confidentially. Instead, it was her estranged hubby, Kris Humphries, who pulled a Lindsay Lohan and failed to appear in court. If the two can’t reach an agreement, a public (and likely messy) divorce is set to begin in early May.

The settlement hearing was supposed to prevent a drawn-out divorce, but it completely failed. Here are a few reasons why mediation could have helped Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries:

Looks like Michael Jordan is going to get married again, probably sometime in the next 60 days.

The six-time NBA champion and current owner of the Charlotte Bobcats appeared at a courthouse in Palm Beach County, Florida, to apply for a marriage license, reports The Associated Press.

Jordan is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Cuban model Yvette Prieto. If the pair tie the knot, it will be Jordan's second marriage. He was married to Juanita Vanoy for 17 years, and they have three children together.

It's been more than a year since Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher broke up, but it looks like one of our favorite cougars is only just now filing her own divorce papers.

The couple separated in November 2011 but they didn't make any moves to officially divorce for over a year. Then in December 2012, Kutcher filed for divorce.

The couple has been trying to negotiate a confidential settlement, and Moore was reportedly waiting until it was decided before filing her response to Kutcher's divorce petition. But now it looks like the discussions have stalled, as Moore's filing indicates she may be ready to go to trial.

Celebrity weddings can lead to some valuable legal lessons, even for those who aren't rich and famous. Examples from a few star-studded weddings in 2012 certainly take the cake.

Celebrities face many legal issues when getting married. The biggest challenge is that they need to plan their finances in case of divorce. In the case of a celebrity and non-celebrity, this is often to protect the celebrity's assets. In the case of two celebrities, one might make significantly more than the other.

Another challenge that celebrities face when getting married is the personal challenge of keeping their nuptials private. Paparazzi and gawkers want in, and many stars have gone through great lengths to keep their ceremonies private.

That said, here's a look at three celebrity weddings from 2012, and the legal lessons learned:

"Teen Mom 2's" Jenelle Evans has "filed five assault charges" against her husband Courtland Rogers, reports Us Weekly.

The reality-TV star also blasted her husband on Twitter, implying that he may have been behind a possible miscarriage. The charges apparently filed against Rogers further confirm this suspicion, as Evans accuses him of assault on a female with an unborn child.

In fact, on Jan. 22, Evans was reportedly hospitalized for a miscarriage scare, according to the website Radar Online.

So Kim Kardashian is pregnant with Kanye West's baby. As her divorce from Kris Humphries is still not finalized, however, there may potentially be a few legal hoops to jump through to establish paternity.

During an Atlantic City concert, Kanye literally stopped in mid-song and announced his girlfriend Kim Kardashian is pregnant, Reuters reports. The crowd erupted, as did fans on Twitter.

But lost amid the joy (?) of Kim and Kanye's baby news is a potential legal problem: Kardashian is technically still married to Humphries, a pro basketball player, The Huffington Post points out. While the two have filed for divorce, and have been going through the divorce process far longer than the 72 days they were actually married, they are technically still husband and wife.

Calling all single Alaskan ladies: It looks like Track Palin, Sarah Palin's son, is headed for divorce.

Track and his soon-to-be ex-wife filed for divorce this week. The couple married in 2011 and they have a 1-year-old little girl named Kyla. Track, 23, is the oldest of Sarah Palin's children and is an Army Reservist, just so you know ladies.

Perhaps more interesting than the news of Track's divorce is what it's revealed about Alaska's divorce laws, since that's where the papers were filed.
