Michael Douglas Defends Earnings From Ex-Wife
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Divorce, Legal Issues,
Michael Douglas’ ex-wife has filed a lawsuit claiming she is entitled to half the money he has earned from new film Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
Diandra Luker received a $45 million payout from the couple’s divorce in 2000, but she now claims she is entitled to 50 percent of the earnings Michael makes from any spinoffs to his previous films. The 65-year-old actor - who has been married to Catherine Zeta-Jones for 10 years - is said be furious with his former spouse’s suit.
Michael starred in the original Wall Street movie in 1987, and according to him, the new Oliver Stone movie is a “sequel”, not a “spinoff.” However, Diandra’s lawyer Nancy Chemtob told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper last week, “It’s the same character, the same title, just years later.”
Michael’s lawyer Marilyn Chinitz said, “They’re not the same thing. He doesn’t want her to be an albatross around his neck forever.” On Wednesday, Justice Cooper told the lawyers he hasn’t yet come to a conclusion regarding the case and he will not until he decides whether it should go ahead in New York or be sent back to Santa Barbara, California, where the former couple divorced.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Break-ups, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Heidi Montag raised eyebrows - and doubts - earlier this month when she announced that she’s leaving reality TV hubby Spencer Pratt. The celebrity-loving couple is known for pulling publicity stunts, but this time it seems their well-publicized split isn’t the stuff of fame-boosting trickery.
According to reports, Heidi has retained lawyer Jodeane Farrell and they’re working on getting a quick California divorce. Farrell is scheduled to meet with the couple in two weeks. The lawyer recently told reporters that both Montag and Spencer Pratt have been “very amicable” with each other and with the divorce proceedings.

Gary Coleman Was Divorced Before Death
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Divorce, Legal Issues, Obituaries,
As his parents look for more details, it has been discovered that Gary Coleman was not married to Shannon Price at the time of his death.
Despite Shannon making the decision to turn off the actor’s life support machine when he died last Friday, the pair had been divorced since August 2008.
Attorney Randy Kester, who handled the split, said, “I can confirm they’ve been divorced since August 12, 2008. At the time of Gary’s death, they were not married. I have no knowledge if they were ever remarried. Gary wanted me to keep the divorce private but now that it’s been made public, I’m compelled to say it’s all true. Their relationship has been on-again, off-again. I know that there were periods of time where she resided in the home with Gary, and there were periods of time where she didn’t.”
The revelations have called into question whether or not 24-year-old Shannon had the decision making power to turn off the machine on Gary’s behalf. Utah Valley Regional Medical Center - where Gary died - released a statement claiming they had undertaken all necessary rules to check Shannon’s legal rights. It read they “had completed an Advance Health Care Directive that granted Shannon Price permission to make medical decisions on his behalf.”

Sandra Bullock Says Jesse is Still a Great Father
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Celebrity Babies,
Sandra Bullock still wants Jesse James to play a role in her adopted son’s life.
The Oscar-winning actress has filed for divorce from the motorcycle entrepreneur following allegations he cheated on her with a string of women but says she would like him to be involved with three-month-old Louis because she knows what a great father he is.
“I will be adopting as a single parent. Anything else will be taken day by day. I have a different relationship with Jesse now. A bittersweet one. One of new understanding. One of forgiveness. One of support for his recovery. One that changed my life. I don’t really know how our paths will intersect in the future, but the father I have known Jesse to be with all the kids is one that I hope Louis can experience one day, no matter how Jesse and I go on with our lives.”
Jesse - who recently left rehab following treatment for sex addiction - has three children, Chandler, 15, Jesse Jr., 12, and six-year-old Sunny, from previous marriages and Sandra would also like the kids to be involved in Louis’ life: “I know my role is not one that exists on paper, but Louis is their brother, and Jesse and I will do whatever it takes for them to know that their world will not change and still be protected and safe and full of love. It will just have a slightly different dynamic now.”
