James Caan Files for Divorce... Again

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 20th 2009 09:50AM

On Friday, James Caan filed for divorce from his wife of 14 years, court records in Los Angeles show.

This is the second time the 'The Godfather' actor has sought to divorce his wife, Linda Stokes. The first case, filed in 2005, was not pursued.

The couple were married in October 1995 and have two sons James Arthur Caan, 14 and Jacob Nicholas Caan, 11. Caan is seeking joint custody of the boys.

According to the court records, Caan cited irreconcilable differences for the split.

Caan, who earned an Academy Award nomination for his role as Sonny Corleone in 'The Godfather,' has starred in numerous movies and TV series.

He also starred as Paul Sheldon in Stephen King's 'Misery,' Ed Deline in the television series 'Las Vegas,' and as Will Ferrell's father in 'Elf.'

Yea I really think the guy thinks he is Sonny Corleone.No doubt he will soon have another 22 year old wanna be on his arm. " You touch my sister again and I'll kill ya".

Isn't that why celebritys marry.. so they can get a divorce when their career lags.. just for the attention ?
I wonder how Paul Newman and Joann woodward ever did it ?

"YOU HAFTA ANSWER FOR SANTINO, CARLOS"!!!

By What?!

I didn't know James is 69 years old. Gee, he is such a good-looking guy. I hope he never had a plastic surgery. I can't stand most celebrities that went thru plastic surgery on their face. How could you hire them to do your movie? Mickey Rourke, Burt Reynolds, Lohan Lindsey, and many others. They are pathetic, but James is the man.

James Caan actually did NOT play Will Ferrell's father in "Elf"....that was Bob Newhart!
