Impossible to answer without knowing what caused the earth to split. The amount of energy needed to accomplish that is _incredible_.
But in general, the two halves would come back together due to gravity, or if they were far enough apart, they'd each become round over some period of time (They'd get roughly oval pretty quickly, but to get close to spherical would take a long time.)
Next problem is what happens to the orbits of each half?
Oh yeah: we're all dead.

It wont.
If it did it would be the result of a collision with a planet sized object and you and everyone else would be dead.
Gravity would tend to bring most of the pieces back together and the earth would re-form, much like it did when the collision with the mars sized object formed our moon.

I don't know for sure but I hope I am on the half with Florida.
