Anang Hermansyah & Krisdayanti -- A Divorce Album?

There are probably stranger things that have been done in the aftermath of a divorce, but this is an interesting way to grind the axe. Anang Hermansyah, the loving ex-husband of Krisdayanti, has decided to dedicate his next 'mini' album to his former wife of 13 years. I have not heard it, and more to the point, and I am unlikely to buy it. But, it does sound like it is going to be a little melancholic to say the least.

The album supposedly tells the whole story of the sordid affair(s) that led to the divorce. All the songs are about KD and explain how Anang feels he has lost half his soul and his soul mate. I am guessing that KD does not feel the same. This is especially so since she has supposedly filed for divorce on numerous previous occasions, presumably each time after an affair.

The straw that broke the camel's back was the latest roll in the hay with a rich Timor Leste businessman. Allegedly the other party in this is Rahul Cortez.

However, the icing on the cake in this soon to be really messy divorce is that her kids accompanied dad in promoting the album and Titania Auriel Hermansyah has supposedly said the following:

“Mimi [Mom] loves to compare [our lifestyle] with [those of] her rich friends,” and

“She loves to say bad things about Dad in front of other people. We want [Dad] to find a better [mother for us].”

This is an ouch moment if I have ever seen one.

Yet, this is interesting as it had been reported that they had amassed quite a fortune over their 13-year marriage. So, it seems strange that there is any talk about financial matters. In any event, the divorce could become quite a circus as it winds through the Religious Courts.

Divorce is surely not fun, but I am not sure that I would be making a mini album or going quite so public. Then again, I cannot sing and I am not a public figure.

Krisdayanti & Anang -- To Divorce After Ramadan

A brief update.

Maybe I will have to become a celebrity blogger and see if I can become the next Perez Hilton or something of Indonesian celebrity bloggers.

It seems that the "official" divorce proceedings to accompany the talaq divorce will happen after Ramadan. Krisdayanti, or KD as she is known, is going to file for divorce. Her husband, Anang Hermansyah, would rather they work through their problems and stay married. Nevertheless, it would appear that KD is committed to ending the marriage this time.

That said, the idea of reconciliation probably requires that both parties play their cards pretty close to their respective chests. Yet, Anang has been pretty open about the reason for the current round of trauma is KD's wandering eye and her seemingly insatiable appetite for affairs with other men. The rumor mill over the last few years has been in overdrive with spottings of KD in all sorts of locales, such as staying in a Singaporean hotel with another man.

Although, the clincher seems to have been the relaying the story of one of those affairs to Anang by one of his own children, Titania Aurelie Hermansyah, who is reported to have said that one day while she was swimming, mummy was in the bedroom with another man. Apparently, this particular affair took place in Bali. It is pretty hardcore taking your kids along for the ride when you are off having an affair.

According to Anang he knows who the Bali squeeze is, but he is not going to tell. Very noble of him. I am not sure that I would be so noble, particularly if the divorce becomes very messy where there are contentious issues such as the custody of children and the division of assets to contend with.

The best quotable moment though is this little pearler from Anang, “I already reminded KD many times: ‘Don’t play with firecrackers if you don’t want to get hurt’, but I guess she didn’t listen.”

The reason for the update is so that I could post another interesting KD or is it CD picture?

Krisdayanti & Anang -- Divorced Talaq Style

Krisdayanti is often referred to as an Indonesian Diva and some people might argue that she behaves like a spoilt little diva at times as well. Krisdayanti or KD as she is known was way more famous than her husband to be when she married Anang Hermansyah back in 1996. And, as it turns out she is still more famous than her husband now that they have divorced.

The divorce took place four days before Ramadan and has not been done through the religious court yet. This means that it was a talaq divorce and therefore done in accordance with Islamic principles that govern divorce.

There have been rumours that the marriage has been in trouble for years. It seems that Krisdayanti was the one with the alleged wandering eye. Maybe she was married too young and had not tested the waters enough, or sown enough wild oats or something. Anang was a little reserved on the reasons for the divorce and simply said that it was not his choice but his wife's choice, There were no qualms about targeting the kids to find out what they knew. In what is sure to be a bit of a scoop for SCTV, Titania Aurelie Hermansyah at a mere 11-years-old offerred up that one time while she was swimming mummy was in the bedroom with an East Timorese businessman. The only way this might have been more sensational was if young Titania was asked to describe the noises she heard coming from the bedroom or name the man!

However, this might go a long way to explaining why KD was in Timor Leste for the recent Independence Day celebrations and doing the jig with Ramos Horta and Xanana.

The Jakarta Globe is reporting that the divorce is going to be amicable with KD and Anang already having agreed to custody of the children and the division of their "billion-dollar" fortune (assets). I have gotta say, I always knew that KD was popular and Anang had some success, but a billion dollars is a lot of money. Even on a 50-50 split that makes each of them worth at least 500 million dollars each.
