LOS ANGELES - Dermot Mulroney has filed for divorce, seeking to end his nearly 17-year marriage to Catherine Keener.

The actor cited irreconcilable differences and asked for joint custody of their 7-year-old son, Clyde, according to documents filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The two, who appeared in the 2001 film "Lovely & Amazing," were married in November 1990 and separated in May 2005, the documents said. An after-hours e-mail to Keener's publicist was not immediately returned.

Mulroney has starred in such films as "My Best Friend's Wedding," "The Wedding Date," and "Georgia Rule."

Keener, who has two Oscar nominations for supporting roles in "Capote" and "Being John Malkovich," has also appeared in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "The Ballad of Jack and Rose."

Wonder which co-star he's hooking up with, or which one she did. Cause isn't that usually the reason? Or, is he gay?

Maybe things just didn't work out? Either way, even though she bugs me, I somehow always love the work she does. Weird.

Argh.

Well, if he needs comfort, my cell number is...

She ws starting to look tore down anyway.

I'm just trying to figure out which BI relates to either of these.

And I've really liked both of their recent works. He has turned into quite the hotty in his old age and she just cracks me up. Her personality is so dry and wry in her movies, which is just what I love.

Dermott's on the market, eh?

That's a damn shame throwing 17 years away though.

**KrisNine** · June 12th, 2007, 11:02 AM

I thought they were divorced already. I guess it's because they've been separated for over 2 years. Sucks for them. 17 years is a long time.

I always thought it was kinda funny that they separated right after the Pitt's seeing how they were best friend couples. I thought Mulroney had the hots for JA.

well he's hot and she's a bitch, but damn, they couldn't do it for the kid at least?! hollywood is so w/o morals.

I love Catherine Keener, she's got the dry wit that I actually find charming. That being said, I had no idea these two were even married!

**AliceInWonderland** · June 12th, 2007, 01:10 PM

she's great as the characters she plays but in interviews she seems like such a beeyotch!

on a side note: i love being john malkovich!

**sweetrebel** · June 12th, 2007, 01:36 PM

Separated since 2005--this is a shock because?

**Novice** · June 12th, 2007, 02:23 PM

dunno love, but then I don't even know who these people are.....

**LynnieD** · June 12th, 2007, 02:27 PM

Gosh, this is sad. 17 yrs, a lifetime by Hollywood standards. But, if you ain't happy, you ain't happy. He's looking a bit rough too, but I'd still hit it. Won't lie.
