The sad celebrity matrimony news just keeps coming.

Heidi Klum is reportedly filing for divorce from Seal after more than six years of marriage. TMZ broke the story this morning, reporting that Klum will be filing the papers in L.A. County Superior Court next week.

The couple had renewed their wedding vows just last May (as they have every year since they were first married), but Klum will be citing "irreconcilable differences," as the reason for the split, according to TMZ.

The German model and singer have four children together. They wed on a beach in Mexico in May 2005, five months after Seal proposed to Klum inside an igloo he built for the occasion in Whistler, British Columbia. They were last seen together publicly in late December; Klum attended the Golden Globes alone last week.

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
