The couple share three older children together, Lucy, Grace and Jacob.  The news of their split was confirmed by their publicist Stan Rosenfield who did not go into the details behind DeVito and Perlman’s sad decision to part ways.

One of the few Hollywood couples to make their relationship last for so long in the spotlight, the duo starred side by side in the well known 1978 series ‘Taxi’.

Both DeVito and Perlman also own a production company, Jersey Films, that has backed such successful films over the years as ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Erin Brockovich’.

In previous interviews the couple often seemed happy about their rare Hollywood marriage.  Perlman previously called DeVito “sexy”, stating that “You’d really have to work hard at breaking us up at this point.”   DeVito also appeared to feel the same, citing “love” as the reason behind their long lasting marriage.  “I mean, really. You know what? Who knows. The secret to success is to try to never figure that out.”

With both DeVito and Perlman remaining quiet so far about their decision to divorce, speculation has taken over.  One source close to the ‘Sunny in Philadelphia’ actor shared, “like many people, they may have drifted apart over a number of years — finding less and less things in common. … Their children are grown and their youngest is finally out of the nest. … It’s just sad. … They are among the most popular couples in Hollywood.”

Since news of their split has hit the media,  several well known Hollywood figures have spoken out to share their sadness and shock over the split of two terrific entertainers.  More details surrounding DeVito and Perlman’s decision to divorce is sure to emerge shortly.

GoldieBlox Knows it Takes More than Just Making it Pink to Appeal to Girls

A couple of years ago, I asked the question Are Gadgets Just for Guys? and said that making it pink doesn’t mean it will appeal to women – it just guarantees it won’t appeal to men.  The real problem goes beyond pink and making gadgets appeal to females.  It goes to the very heart of making women and girls interested in technology, math, and sciences.  Did you know that girls begin to lose interest in these subjects as young as 8?  That women only represent 11% of  engineers?  The inventor of GoldieBlox (a Kickstarter project), Debbie Sterling, is a Stanford engineer who knows just how difficult it can be to make math, science, and engineering appeal to girls.  She created a toy that combines a book about a girl inventor who loves to build with a construction set.  It’s designed for girls ages 5-9, before they begin to lose interest or internalize the message that certain things and activities aren’t for girls.  Ms. Sterling says:

“I spent a year doing in-depth research into gender differences and child development to create the concept. My big “aha”? Boys have strong spatial skills, which is why they love construction toys so much. Girls, on the other hand, have superior verbal skills. They love reading, stories, and characters.

“GoldieBlox is the best of both worlds: reading + building. It appeals to girls because they aren’t just interested in ‘what’ they’re building…they want to know ‘why.’ Goldie’s stories relate to girls’ lives. The machines Goldie builds solve problems and help her friends. As girls read along, they want to be like Goldie and do what she does.

“Goldie’s toolkit is inspired by common household objects and craft items — things girls are already familiar with. Plus, the set features soft textures, curved edges and attractive colors which are all innately appealing to girls. Last but not least, the story of Goldie is lighthearted and humorous. It takes the intimidation factor out of engineering and makes it fun and accessible. “

As of the time of this writing, GoldieBlox has far exceeded the funding goal, but the funding period doesn’t expire until Oct 18 at 2:50am EDT.  You still have plenty of time to pledge at least $30 to get your daughter or granddaughter Goldie’s first book/construction set, called “GoldieBlox and the Spinning Machine”, complete with figurines. Estimated delivery is February 2013.  Also check out the GoldieBlox website for more information.

Samsung profits soar on Galaxy, Note sales

Samsung Electronics said Friday that stronger-than-expected sales of its Galaxy smartphones sent operating profits up 90 percent in the latest quarter, but analysts warned its results could take a hit in the coming months as it books legal damages owed to Apple.

The South Korean electronics giant reported an operating profit of 8.1 trillion won ($7.3 billion) for the July-September period, almost double the 4.25 trillion won it made a year ago. That beat an average analyst estimate of 7.58 trillion won during the quarter compiled by Bloomberg.
