Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues,
Erlinda Elemen was fired by the star in February 2011, after Sharon reportedly discovered she had wrongly been paid overtime, and Ms. Elemen alleges Sharon made a number of disparaging comments about Filipinos, including calling them stupid people.
According to the lawsuit, Basic Instinct star Sharon "criticized Plaintiff for frequently attending church and, on one occasion, forbade Plaintiff from reading the Bible in Plaintiff's room in Defendant's residence," and ordered her not to speak to her three kids Roan, Laird and Quinn because she did not want them "to talk" like her."
Ms. Elemen's attorney, Solomon Gresen said he hopes the suit will draw attention to the broader issue of overtime pay for domestic employees.

A Divorce for Robin Williams
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce,
In Hollywood, actors have been known to have many different types of relationships with their nannies. Jude Law had a short-lived fling that ultimately broke up his relationship with Sienna Miller. Ethan Hawke is set to be a father again with his kids’ former nanny. And then there’s Robin Williams. The actor not only ended marrying his former employer, he remained by her side for nineteen total years. Unfortunately, it looks like they won’t be making it to twenty.
After nearly two decades together, Marsha Garces Williams filed a petition for divorce in San Francisco last week. The woman who once worked for both Williams and his first wife, Valerie, slowly moved up the ranks in Robin’s life going from nanny to personal assistant to spouse. She later became his business partner as well when they co-founded Blue Wolf Productions.

Ethan Hawke to Have Baby with Nanny
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce, Pregnancies,
After the dissolution of his seven-year marriage, Ethan Hawke didn’t look far for his next hook-up. Now the actor, who has two children with ex-wife Uma Thurman, will be a dad once again. The new mom? His kids’ former nanny.
Hawke, 37, met Ryan Shawhughes, 28, when she was working for the still-married couple. (Although it was rumored an affair may have factored in his divorce, Shawhughes wasn’t the one in question.) The two later began dating after Ethan and Uma parted ways.
Mara Buxbaum, Hawke’s rep, confirmed the pregnancy news and went on to say the two were ‘thrilled’. No details on a due date or possible nuptials were announced.
