She Feels The Need For Greed

Is this greed or what?

Any TF'ers thoughts?

IMHO I think it is greed. How much is too much, and how much is enough?
 

Michael Douglas' Ex-Wife Wants a Piece of His 'Wall Street 2' Money

If it seems strange that Diandra would be seeking her share of her ex-husband's salary for a movie he made a decade after their divorce was finalized ... well, it is. The suit appears to hinge on a clause in Michael and Diandra's divorce settlement that entitles her to 50 percent of any earnings Michael receives from any movies he did -- including residuals, merchandising and ancillary rights -- during their 23-year marriage. According to Diandra's lawyers, that provision includes any "spinoffs" of Douglas' movies.

The 1987 smash 'Wall Street' -- for which Michael won the Best Actor Oscar for his classic turn as Gordon Gekko -- was released during their marriage, and with the sequel set to hit theaters in September, Diandra is ramping up her case. "It's the same character, the same title, just years later," her lawyer, Nancy Chemtob, told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper at a hearing last Wednesday.

Marilyn Chinitz, Michael's lawyer, however, simply thinks this is a case of life imitating art, with Diandra taking the famed Gordon Gekko line "greed is good" to heart. "He doesn't want her to be an albatross around his neck forever," Chinitz said.

Michael and Diandra's divorce remains one of the costliest in Hollywood history. The pair's split was bitter, to say the least, with Diandra accusing Michael of sex and alcohol addiction and multiple infidelities. In 2007, Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Debut On Forbes ‘World’s Most Powerful Celebrity’ List magazine compiled a list of the 10 most expensive celebrity divorces and listed the Douglases' at number eight. Diandra walked away with an estimated $45 million and the couple's homes in Beverly Hills and Majorca.

Never get married and if you did, never f**ked it up. and if you did, make sure you have a better lawyer than your ex and have enough money for that.

she already reportedly got 45 million from their divorce settlement..to me it looks like she just wants to make him pay..

your words are from the wise.. thx for replying enjoy the rest of your day nicky

I don't think it's about money, it's a revenge. 23 years marriage was a long time, after a man divorced he can get a younger and prettier wife or girlfriends any day but for a woman after 23 years if she can fit in her wedding dress again, she is damn lucky, let alone finding a younger and stronger husband. I say she deserves 43 million. )

Marriage is a three-ring circus: Engagement-ring, Wedding-ring, and Suffe-ring

@ Tonia : I didn't get an engagement-ring, and the hub and I don't believe in wedding-rings. So, only suf-fe-ring left, if that the case I take 4 million and run.

The words "greedy b*tch sprang to mind, but then I thought how sad it is, that someone is still so twisted and vengeful after all those years.

It must be really tearing her up to see him supposedly happily married to Kathryn Zeta Jones.

She deserves crap! Exactly what did she do to deserve 50% of what he made?

Greed, plain and simple.

It's about what she didn't do, DJTX. Prenuptial agreement!! Any man who know that he has more money than his wife and married without prenup, deserves to pay 50%. Plain and simple.

PrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeNUP
