Bruce Jenner to get $2.5 million in split
Court records show Kris and Bruce Jenner have finalized their divorce, but they won’t be officially single until March.
A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday signed off on the couple’s divorce judgment that ends the pair’s 23-year marriage.
The Jenners filed divorce petitions in September, citing irreconcilable differences.
Bruce Jenner won a gold medal in the men’s decathlon in the 1976 Olympics, although he is best known to a younger generation as Kim Kardashian’s stepfather. The Jenners frequently appeared on the reality series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” along with their children.
The divorce judgment calls for Kris to pay Bruce $2.5 million.
They married in April 1991 and have two daughters together.
Stars covert on ‘Covert Affairs’
On TV’s “Covert Affairs,” Piper Perabo plays a field agent with the CIA. And in real life, she’s traveling around the globe with the show, thanks to location shoots.
The series, which airs its fifth season finale on USA Thursday, has taken Perabo to Medellin, Colombia, Rome, Vienna, Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Paris, Istanbul and Buenos Aires.
In a recent interview, the Golden Globe-nominated actress said it was a conscious decision by the show’s cast and crew to use a tight budget to allow for filming in foreign locations.
“We had a real serious conversation about how do we create a model to film in almost an indie hand-held style that is mobile and small enough that we can take it foreign and afford to do it,” Perabo said. “And because Doug Liman is one of our executive producers and he loves that kind of filming … we started amassing this group of people that know how to get real skinny and tight.”
“We don’t use lights when we’re foreign. We don’t have trailers. Everybody carries their own equipment. If you want water you carry it yourself.”
ABC moves Pitts to ‘Nightline’
ABC News says Byron Pitts is taking over for Dan Abrams as a co-anchor of “Nightline.”

ABC News president James Goldston on Thursday called Pitts “a truly passionate storyteller and deep thinker about the critical issues of our time.”
