What had been shaping up as a nasty divorce now appears to be headed for a nasty probate fight.

Iconic actor Dennis Hopper, who died Saturday after a long bout with cancer, had been seeking to divorce his wife of 14 years, Victoria Duffy. Now, say reports, she plans to battle for a hefty share of his riches.

TMZ reports the couple's prenuptial agreement grants Duffy a bequest only if the couple was married and living together at the time of his death. She plans to argue that even though they lived in separate houses at the time of his death, they were "living together" because her house was on his property.....

Too bad I'm not the judge...I've seen my share of gold digging, lying obnoxious women...

I've give her a dollar, then fine her a dollar for being a bitch.

I call BS. She probably couldn't argue her way out of a wet paper bag. It's likely her attorney who's going to do all the arguing - for a 30%-or-so cut. Scumbags all around.

I hate to say it but these old men bring this on themselves by marrying young gold diggers! I mean seriously do they really think these young girls like them for their personality? They marry trophy wife gold diggers and then are shocked when all they want is their money.
