Divorce Notice: Jerry Hall, wife of rock star Mick Jagger, has filed for divorce, following reports that a Brazilian model is expecting his child, Hall’s lawyers said Friday. “Mishcon de Reya can confirm that they have been instructed on behalf of Jerry Hall and that proceedings have been issued,” the British law firm said in a statement. Mishcon de Reya acted for Princess Diana in her divorce from Prince Charles. Hall, 42, has been married to Rolling Stone Jagger, 55, for eight years, and the couple had been lovers for more than a decade before that. They have four children. British newspapers have alleged that the aging rock star is the father of a child expected by Luciana Morad, a Brazilian model nearly 30 years his junior who met Jagger during a Rolling Stones tour of Brazil last year. They speculated that Hall would seek a divorce settlement of at least $50 million, nearly one-fifth of Jagger’s fortune. An unnamed friend of Texan model Hall was quoted as saying: “She has decided this time she will make him pay for publicly humiliating her.”

Getty Shuffle: The J. Paul Getty Trust’s personnel shuffle continues with an announcement late Thursday afternoon that Salvatore Settis, director of the Getty Research Institute for the past five years, has stepped down and become a scholar in residence. Settis is the fourth top administrator to leave his position during Barry Munitz’s first year as president of the trust. Settis will pursue his own projects at the Getty Research Institute--which maintains a large library and promotes scholarship in the arts and humanities--but he will also return to his former position as professor of classical archeology and art history at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy. Munitz plans to appoint an interim director and conduct an international search for Settis’ successor.
