Marie Osmond may have found love again in a familiar place. Sources are saying that thanks to her 26 year old son, Steve, Marie is rekindling a romance with her first ex-husband, Stephen Craig!

Though they only spent three years together as husband and wife, sources say that the duo feel they've "grown up a lot" since then and are now more compatible than ever before.

The insider says, "Stephen always said that divorcing Marie was the biggest mistake of his life. He let her go once before, but now that he's a little older and wiser, he's thrilled to be getting another chance."

Well, good luck to you!

We think you are going to need it! Twenty years is a long enough time to forget why you split up in the first place!

According to her former manager, Karl Engermann, she is!

Yikes!

Marie Osmond is being thrown into the fire today as her long-time manager has stepped forward to accuse his former client of doing him wrong. According to Karl, he single-handedly resurrected her career, only to be fired shortly after the rebuild. He is seeking commission for helping her land her new Vegas gig as well as some of her other business ventures

Marie's lawyer says that Karl was fired "because he acted in an inappropriate, improper manner and breached his fiduciary duty to Marie," and furthermore, will be receiving nothing from Marie as he attempted to defame her.

Of course, Karl's lawyer came out swinging, swearing that these claims are "scandalous" and "scurrilous," and as he is the reason she has a Vegas show, Karl is due to a cut of the $125,000 she stands to make for every performance.

As of now, the matter is before a private arbitrator, but unless she caves and pays this guy off, we think we'll be hearing a lot more out of this guy very soon.

By the way Karl, any schmuck could have resurrected her career to this level. You didn't do such an AMAZING job! She's still just Marie Osmond!

The merciless economy strikes again as Marie Osmond loses her talk show deal due the lack of funds needed to produce it!

A statement from the company overseeing the project, Program Partners, was released this afternoon stating:

“We acknowledge with gratitude the many stations, advertisers and marketing partners who have been totally enthusiastic and incredibly patient with us as we worked hard to maintain solid footing for this project. Our belief in Marie’s creative vision for a new kind of talk show is unshakable, but in the end, the marketplace this year was simply unyielding.”

Of course, no one is more bummed than Marie herself, who was probably hoping to escape having to perform with her brother Donny five times a week in Vegas. She was quoted saying:

“I want to express my deep appreciation for the faithful support and dedication shown by the numerous stations. It was my sincere desire to return their enthusiastic responses by producing an exceptional talk show for their fall schedules; produced with the high quality that is associated with the Marie Osmond brand for over four decades. This project, under proper conditions, still remains a strong passion of mine.”

Perhaps, one day, the world will be graced with your words of wisdom, Marie. And if not, we don't foresee any big heartbreak for anyone.

Marie Osmond wants the world to know that while her belief system is contradictory [she's a Mormon], she still has nothing but love and support to give her lesbian daughter Jessica.

She sat down with Entertainment Tonight to talk about their relationship and how love before prejudice is a better way of life.

Watch the video above for the entire interview!

Bravo to you, Miz Osmond! Your daughter must be very proud of you too.

Wow. This is quite bold and awesome of her!

Marie Osmond was on radio station KOST 103.5 Los Angeles yesterday, discussing her lesbian daughter Jessica and Marie's beliefs.

Contrary to rumors, Marie spoke of how much she loves and supports her daughter, despite her own religious convictions.

Naturally, the gay marriage question came up, and, we're proud to say, Marie spoke in support of civil rights for everyone, regardless of orientation.

Good for her!

Apparently, devout Mormon Marie Osmond has been keeping a little secret - here oldest daughter, Jessica, is a lesbian!

And she's been living in SIN with her girlfriend in Los Angeles!

Oh, the horror!

An insider tells the Globe that it's Marie's "biggest heartache" because Marie always dreamed of a daughter active in the Mormon community and popping out grandchildren.

Jessica and her partner, who have been happily together for 3 years, consider themselves married even though it's not official.

Too bad Marie's got that Mormon hang up, because no one said that her daughter can't have grandchildren - it just requires a little more effort, which in the end produces a kid that someone actually wants to have in the world.

Donnie Osmond accidentally "let the cat out of the bag" regarding his appearance on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars.

As a guest alongside sister Marie on the Bonnie Hunt Show, Donnie couldn't keep a straight face attempting to dodge the big question.

Then, the siblings exchanged banter painfully reminiscent of the 70s, in which Marie joked that she just wants "to see him [Donnie] in stretchy pants."

Spare us!

Las Vegas must be hard-up for new talent.

The Mormon duo of Donny and Marie Osmond are extending their variety show at the Flamingo Las Vegas.

They've been booked for another two more years.

The show just opened September 9th and already they've gotten their contract extended?

Even the Flamingo's president Don Marrandino spoke about the show and the success of the brother-and-sister 90 minute greatest-hits show.

The two will continue performing at the Flamingo Showroom all the way through October 2010.

Are they giving tickets away for free?

Who would actually pay to go see these two?

Would U?

P.S. Wonder if these two are against gay marriage, like the homophobic Mormom church says they should be????

Marie Osmond is getting her own talk show.

No. More. Fainting!

And no Mormon propaganda!

The Dancing With the Stars alum announced the news at the NATPE TV conference on Tuesday.

The cleverly-titled Marie (gag!) will debut in the fall of 2009.

Osmond last hosted a chat show in the late '90s with her touped brother. The Donny and Marie show lasted two seasons. That's one more than we expect Marie to last!
