(Newser) – The Jon and Kate soap opera of a marriage is officially over: A judge has signed the Gosselins' final divorce papers. Kate's lawyer tells TMZ she will continue to live with their eight children in the couple's former home. Financial details aren't out, but the gossip site says in a separate story that Jon will owe five-figure monthly child-support payments.

"We are very pleased with the final outcome," says Kate's attorney.

Is it me, or is Newser turning into the National Enquirer? I could care less what happens to Jon and Kate. People get divorced every day, what makes theirs so special?
