from wonderwall.msn.com

For us normals, moving on is usually a good thing. For celebs, however, divorces don’t just mean people moving on; they also often mean great sums of money changing hands. Have a look at the split-ups that reportedly took the most moolah from a celebrity pocketbook and stuffed

it into someone else’s.

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren

Only one year ago, rumors about Woods’s affair with Rachel Uchitel began circulating, and they just maybe instigated that early-morning car accident Woods had near his house that Thanksgiving weekend. As we all

know, Woods and Nordegren divorced. Although media speculated that the former Mrs. Tiger Woods could have walked away with almost $1 billion, she eventually received $100 million. Nothing to sneeze at, right?

Cee Lo Green has stumbled upon the perfect follow-up

After nearly five years of trying, Cee Lo Green has finally stumbled upon the perfect follow-up to Gnarls Barkley‘s pop smash, “Crazy”-and it’s impossible to play on the radio. “F-ck You,” the first taste from Green’s forthcoming “The Ladykiller,” could’ve been an intense lament. Instead, it’s as sunny as a ’60s Motown hit and as expletive-laden as an early Eminem song, a combination that fits the singer’s sky-high vocals and offbeat sense of humor well.

Over a twinkling piano line, bumping bass and steady percussion, Green shakes off a failed relationship with a gold digger by packing the simple pleasures of old-school soul music into tongue-in-cheek verses and a suitably soaring chorus. Even if its excessive swearing means the mainstream will only hear the song’s far inferior radio edit, “Forget You,” the original’s 3 million YouTube hits in a week’s time prove that “F-ck You” is too irresistible to be denied.
