News: Another Hollywood break up: Randy Jackson's wife files for divorce after 18 years of marriage: Vanessa Williams is engaged again!

The wife of former "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson has filed for divorce after nearly 19 years of marriage.

Erika Jackson filed for divorce Friday in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences.

The pair was married in December 1995, and she listed their separation date as Sept. 11. They have two children together, and Erika Jackson is seeking physical custody and spousal support. Their youngest child is age 17.

Erika Jackson is asking to restore her name to Erika Riker.

Randy Jackson served as a judge on "American Idol" during its ratings heyday and spent 12 seasons assessing talent on the series that launched the careers of Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood. He served as a mentor on the show's 13th season.

The divorce was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.

Vanessa Williams is getting ready to walk down the aisle!
The 51-year-old actress announced her engagement on Friday's The Queen Latifah Show after Queen cracked a joke that Vanessa's ring was blinding her.
"Oh sorry, darling," Vanessa said, "I got engaged. I have had a lot of good things happen ... I turned 50 when we were in rehearsal on Broadway, I just got engaged a couple of weeks ago. It has been a lot of blessings."
The lucky groom-to-be, Jim Skrip, is a Buffalo, New York native and has reportedly been dating Vanessa for more than a year.
This will mark the third marriage for Vanessa, who split from movie producer Ramon Hervey in 1997 and former NBA star Rick Fox in 2004. Vanessa has four children between her two exes: Melanie, 27, Jillian, 25, and Devin, 21, with Ramon, and 14-year-old Sasha with Rick.
Vanessa is currently starring in a touring revival of The Trip to Bountiful with Cicely Tyson and Blair Underwood. The production opens in Los Angeles today.
