Today In DUH: Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie’s Ongoing Divorce Battle Is Costing Them Tons Of Money
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been battling it out in divorce court since 2016, and guess what? All those billable hours are building up, and they’re making for some big-ass legal bills.
If I was rich, and I was divorcing someone who was rich, I might just suggest we split everything down the middle, including custody, so that we may both remain rich and relatively happy that neither of us has to put up with each other anymore. But, there are many more working parts to the Brangelina divorce. They had to split properties, assets, businesses, and who gets how much time with five of their six kids (Maddox Jolie-Pitt is an adult, and therefore isn’t included in this fight). But allegations of domestic abuse, as well as some allegedly shady judge-lawyer relationships, have made the situation very messy. And despite what the Bounty commercials would lead you to believe, big messes aren’t always so quick n’ easy to clean up. And this one is going to cost more than $4.99 for a six-pack, no matter how absorbent and strong those paper towels are.
Salma Hayek Doesn’t Care If You Think She Married Her Billionaire Husband For Money
Salma Hayek is married to François-Henri Pinault, a French billionaire who made his money by being born to a French billionaire (he runs his father’s company Kering, which owns luxury brands like Gucci, Yves Saint Lauren, and Balenciaga). Other fun facts about François-Henri: he has four kids with three different women, one of whom is “I don’t get out of bed for less than $46,000 a month in child support” Linda Evangelista. Salma and her very rich husband have been married since 2009, and, during an appearance on Dax Shepard’s podcast, Armchair Expert, she claims she doesn’t give a rip when people say she’s only with him for his $43.4. billion. Her motto is, “Yeah, whatever, bitch. Think what you want.”
Kim Kardashian’s Birthday Island Trip Cost A Million Dollars, And Khloe Defended The Getaway On “Ellen”
Earlier this week, Kim Kardashian broke the Internet once again (if she’s gonna keep pulling this, she better start paying our wireless bills) when she flew her inner circle to a private island to celebrate the big 4-0. Obviously all the Internet commoners went nuts. How dare she flaunt her mega-rich privilege in this pandemic hellscape? On the bright side, her tone-deaf caption received the meme treatment. So thanks for the laughs, Kimberly.
Now Page Six is reporting that Kim spent $1 million to fly under 30 of her closest friends and family all the way to Tahiti (smack dab in the middle of the Pacific, an 8 hour plane ride). On a private jet, but of cooourse. They left LA on October 20th, and spent five days at The Brando, “a luxurious private island resort in French Polynesia with just 35 villas”, that’s known as one of the “finest eco-friendly resorts in the world”. And yeah, it was Marlon Brando’s private island. So I guess the Kardashians were waited on hand and hoove by animal-human hybrid freaks. Continue reading
Actress Adelaide Kane From “Reign” Explained Why She Isn’t As Rich As Some People Think She Is
Adelaide Kane is a 30-year-old Australian actress who played the lead on all four seasons of The CW show Reign from 2013 to 2017. So some thought that she’s just rolling in the dough. But Adelaide hit up TikTok to get real about being a working actress. According to Adelaide, actors aren’t farting out money (unless you’re Dwayne Johnson) because they have to pay EVERYONE. This is like The CW actress version of TLC being broke after selling millions of records.
Rachel Griffiths Is Sorry For Posting A Picture Of Her Manicure While “People Are Dying”
Rachel Griffiths, the Australian actress best known for her roles in Six Feet Under, Brothers and Sisters, and Muriel’s Wedding, recently put her foot in it. Actually, she put her hand in it. A perfectly manicured hand. Rachel, who currently lives in Australia, had the bright idea to post a picture of her nails in celebration of manicurists re-opening post-(err…mid?) pandemic while mentioning that people are dying in America. But don’t worry, she thoughtfully addressed the Black Lives Matter movement in the States. Continue reading
Stedman Graham Is Quarantined In Oprah’s Guesthouse
Well, look who’s in the doghouse guesthouse after waiting too long to self-isolate! It’s Oprah’s long time paramour, Stedman Graham. Oprah ordered him to quarantine in the guesthouse of her $90 million Santa Barbara mansion. Stedman, 69 (noice), was still working and traveling as late as last Thursday. Oprah, 66, had pneumonia last year, and bronchial infection just last week, so there was no way she was letting Stedman’s irresponsible ass into their non-marital bed.
