good thing her and her ex husband never had kids

Yep, much less traumatic with no kids involved. Actually, it'd be nice if this turn of events helps reboot her career. Seems like the peak of her popularity was the early 2000's and frankly, the last few years, since her marriage, it's kind of waned. Of course she did Tangled, Xmas In Conway and most recently Red Band Society, but otherwise has been out of the limelight for the most part.
It would be good to see her out & about more often (should she choose to) and back in the paparazzi cross hairs - she is pretty easy on the eyes after all. Maybe that new music she's said to be working on will hit the airwaves one of these days.
At any rate, I hope it all works out and wish her the best of luck.

Yep! Too bad other celebrities are too quick to procreate and then hate having their child or children grow up with divorced parents.

We're going to experience that when Kanye and Kim divorce (I emphasize WHEN, not if).
