Garth Brooks Sues Hospital

More from country music and the courts, The husband of LeAnn Rimes has filed for divorce and is asking the country music star for spousal support, according to reports. Follow both below.


One - Garth Brooks wants some satisfaction and will take to the courts to gain it. He is suing Integris Canadian Valley Regional hospital in Yukon, Oklahoma for a half-million dollars.

Brooks claims he made a donation for that amount about four years ago believing a hospital building would be named after his late mother, Colleen, who died from cancer in 1999. CNN News has more here. The hospital claims it's all a misunderstanding.


Two - A LeAnn Rimes divorce? Dean Sheremet filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court, on Thursday, to divorce the singer. In the petition for divorce, Sheremet, 29, asks for Rimes to pay spousal support, plus all attorney fees and costs, and cites "irreconcilable differences" for the break-up.

His lawyer, Stacy D Phillips has also requested that the court not grant spousal support to Rimes. Rimes, 27, married her former back-up dancer Sheremet in 2002.

They separated in July 2009, shortly after rumors surfaced that Rimes was having an affair with her former movie co-star, Eddie Cibrian, 36, who was also married, with two children, to Brandi Glanville. Cibrian and Glanville split and their increasingly bitter divorce and child custody battle is ongoing. Rimes and Cibrian have since stepped out together, attending events in Hollywood as a couple.
