Vanessa A. Williams I Want a Divorce ... This Time I Mean It!!!
Vanessa A. Williams is giving divorce a second try -- filing to split from her husband, 10 years after she first filed divorce docs ... TMZ has learned.
The "Melrose Place" and "New Jack City" star filed docs Monday in L.A. to divorce Andre Wiseman ... who she married back in 1992. The couple had separated in 2008, and Vanessa even filed for the big D.
The divorce was dismissed, for some reason, in 2017 -- possibly because she'd let it lapse. Court records show nothing was filed after her initial divorce petition. But as they say, game on.
According to the refiled docs, Vanessa is asking for joint physical and legal custody of their 14-year-old son.
Vanessa, who also starred in the TV version of "Soul Food," was famously the only black actor to have a lead role on 'Melrose.'
As for the divorce? Second time's a charm -- or as her 'New Jack' character, Keisha, might put it ...

Amber Heard Makes Good on Promise Donates 7 Figures to Children's Hospital
Amber Heard finally put her Johnny Depp money where her mouth was ... holding up her end of the bargain and donating a HUGE chunk of her settlement dough to Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
TMZ's learned "Ms. Amber Heard" landed on CHLA's "Honor Roll" list of 2017 donors after donating between $1 mil and $4,999,999. Ronald Burkle, AEG and the American Cancer Society are also listed with Amber.
We broke the story ... Amber and Johnny struck a $7 million settlement in their nasty divorce case back in 2016 ... when she promised to donate the entire settlement in equal parts to CHLA and the ACLU. As part of the deal, Johnny donated $100k to each org in Amber's name and she'd donate the rest when she got the rest of the money.
At the time, Amber told us she chose the ACLU "with a particular focus to stop violence against women," and CHLA where she worked as a volunteer for the last 10 years.
Problem was ... several months passed and CHLA's money was MIA. Reason being ... Amber and Johnny hadn't signed off on the deal. But, all's water under the bridge.
