Vanilla Ice's wife of 19 years filed for divorce on Monday - her 46th birthday - in Palm Beach County, Florida, after years of living apart. Laura Van Winkle (left with Vanilla Ice, top right with daughters) last spoke to the rapper, whose real name is Rob Van Winkle, in June 2015, and says she 'can't live a lie any longer' by staying with him.

Over the years, there was violence in the relationship. Rob was arrested three times in incidents involving Laura.The couple have two teenage girls but live in separate homes. Pictured bottom right is Rob's home near West Palm Beach, Florida.

Donald Trump crossed a red line in last night's final TV debate. In fact, he crossed a red line that he himself had very deliberately and firmly drawn up earlier in the evening. The Republican candidate was emphatic about the vital importance of upholding and protecting the United States Constitution. Yet later in the debate, Trump was asked by moderator Chris Wallace if he would accept the result of this election - and I agree with Hillary who described his answer as 'horrifying'.

A tenth women has come forward and accused Donald Trump of groping her against her will almost two decades ago. Karena Virginia said at a press conference on Thursday that she was waiting for her car to go home while attending the US Open tennis tournament in 1998 when Trump began to speak about her with a group of male friends. He then walked up to her and allegedly touched her right breast, telling her repeatedly: 'Do you know who I am?' Virginia was 27 at the time.

NEW A CIA contractor who spent months in a Pakistani prison fearing he would die believes Hillary Clinton did not want him released and now fears his memoir is being blocked by her supporters. Raymond Davis (right) shot dead two locals in Lahore in fear of his life, was arrested and spent months in a notorious prison. When he was freed he believed then Secretary of State Clinton had helped and wanted him out. But he now believes the opposite - and his co-author tells DailyMail.com he believes roadblocks put up by the CIA are part of an effort to shield her from blame in an episode with echoes of Benghazi, a year later. Davis was in his car (inset) when he shot two men, believed to be street robbers, in self-defense in January 2011. His actions sparked an anti-American outcry in Pakistan (left).

NEW The Democratic nominee for President of the United States sported a custom-made Ralph Lauren pantsuit to Wednesday's debate in Las Vegas. The look proved an instant hit with social media users, with some saying she was 'glowing' and appeared 'angelic'. It rounded off a patriotic trio of pantsuits Hillary wore to the three debates, with the first and second being red and blue respectively. But the white look was particularly symbolic as a means of channeling the suffragette movement - and matched her outfit worn at the DNC in July.

Some unlucky people have had their awfully awkward moments eternalised through the power of photography - meaning we can point and laugh forever. They show, from top left, a confusingly phallic looking cut of meat at the butcher's, a smiling gaggle of girls dodging a toddler's arm, a rocky outcrop of cliffs, a girl posing against a bedhead with unfortunate patterns, an awkwardly positioned set of sofas and the explicit looking glove of a girl in a couple's selfie.

Just looking at this crazy 4,000-metre-plus vertical peak in Switzerland is enough to give you a tinge of vertigo. But can you imagine plunging over the edge on a pair of skis and descending it free-fall? Well, for Swiss skier Jérémie Heitz, 27, this thought filled him with delight instead of dread, and he tackled the insane run like a pro, living to tell the tale. Photographs capture Heitz in action on a extremely sheer mountain in the Pennine Alps - his tiny silhouette barely distinguishable against the vast, snowy landscape. The extreme sportsman took to the slope while filming an adrenaline-pumping video for Red Bull. For the project he selected 15 of his dream peaks to ski down.

Shia LaBeouf's father, Jeffrey (left with Shia and inset), was absent from his son's Las Vegas wedding on October 10 (right) because he is a convicted pedophile who is wanted by police in California and living in Costa Rica for the last 18 months. Jeffrey has been on the run from law enforcement for three years, fleeing the state, as well as hiding out in a remote mountain community after violating his registration requirements. He was convicted of attempted rape of a minor in 1981. Since violating his sex offender registration requirements, as of January 13, 2014, Jeffrey has been swapping addresses at a whim to escape the authorities' attentions. Despite his father's criminal past, Shia has always held a deep bond with Jeffrey, regularly inviting him on to film sets.

A Texas couple whose son became unresponsive outside a KFC restaurant last week say that a hero police officer saved the boy's life - and there's video to prove it. The incident occurred outside the restaurant in Granbury around 7pm on October 12. Officer Chase Miller was scanning EMS channels when he heard a report about a young boy who had stopped breathing. Miller rushed to the scene and, as seen in the dashboard camera on his car, immediately started administering CPR upon arriving at the scene (main).

Iraqi special forces charged into battle with a pre-dawn advance on a nearby town held by ISIS today, a key part of a multi-pronged assault on eastern approaches to the besieged city. The addition of the elite troops (top left), also known as counterterrorism forces, marked a significant intensification of the fight for Iraq's second-largest city. As they advanced, attack helicopters fired on the militants and heavy gunfire echoed across the plains.

NEW Kurdish Peshmerga and Iraqi troops have moved through villages outside the city, finding the houses (pictured) rigged with explosives and underground bunkers (tunnel entrance, top left). In some cases, Islamic State fighters appear to have fled without putting up a fight. There are fears the jihadists will use chemical weapons, snipers, and booby traps to desperately defend their position. The fighting around Mosul has forced 5,640 people to flee their homes in the last three days, most in the past 24 hours, according to the International Organization for Migration.

French media has published CCTV images of the alleged gang leaving and arriving at the reality TV star's VIP apartment in Paris on October 3. Shot on a private camera just around the corner from the so-called 'Hotel de Pourtales' apartment block they are in black and white. They are also so grainy that it is impossible to make out a single face, with detectives admitting they are still baffled as to who they are. The camera footage starts at 2.19am, and shows three men wearing reflective jackets cycling towards the block, and shortly afterwards two others walk past on foot. A full 49 minutes then goes by, before members of the gang are seen leaving - a time period that makes a mockery of previous claims that they only spent a few minutes in the building. All have their faces hidden by a combination of hoods and balaclavas, and are thought to be pretending to be plain-clothes policemen. The multimillionaire, who was in the French capital for Paris Fashion Week, was locked in a bathroom while robbers stole a $4.5 million ring and a case of jewellery valued at $5.6 million.

An Instagram account called Neighbours from Hell has shared the shocking and infuriating text exchanges between people who live next door to one another.

NEW Juliet Marine Systems has unveiled plans for an underwater version of its drag-reducing Ghost boat. The new concept, called the Guardian (pictured as the main image), is a 'submersible unmanned surface vehicle' that creates a bubble of gas around itself to minimize friction, allowing it to hit a top speed of roughly 40 mph. It works on the principle of supercavitation, allowing for a smooth ride even in rough seas. Its predecessor, the Ghost boat, is shown on the top right.

She said while many people look to the future, it's more important to invest in something that will bring happiness now, not in 30 years. Kris (left) was diagnosed with bowel cancer at 42 and before that, used to want the best car and nicest home. Now all she wants is to spend as much time with her friends and family and possible. 'To end up at the end of it dying and all I did was pay off my mortgage... it just seems like a waste of time. You only get one life and we need to live it,' she said.

Nature filmmaker Patrick Dykstra was filming on Somerset Island, in a remote part of Nunavut, Canada, when he spotted a polar bear and her two cubs (pictured main). Collecting his drone camera, he dashed across the terrain to see if he could capture them on film. Launching the drone from 1,000 ft away did not guarantee his safety though, as the island offered little vegetation or cover, leaving him exposed to the polar bears. The bears did spot Patrick and his colleague, but thankfully they were too transfixed by the drone (inset) to bother with the two men as they sat quietly in the distance.
