Greed is not good in the case of Michael Douglas ex-wife who is suing the actor for half of his earnings from the upcoming Wall Street sequel.
Diandra Douglas, who was married to Michael for 23 years, quietly filed suit against her ex earlier this month, claiming shes entitled to 50 percent of the upfront money and royalties from Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, the New York Post reports.
But, Gordon Gekkos alter ego, 65, maintains that his ex isnt entitled to a dime.
When Douglas divorced Diandra in 2000, she got a reported $45 million settlement. The divorce was nasty and included allegations that Michael was a sex addict who repeatedly cheated on his wife.

Catherine would do that too you.......
If the divorce agreement said that, then she does indeed have an argument. Douglas also ought to sue his lawyer if he let that clause in. I don’t think a new movie, even one based on an existing character, is the same as generating money from a marital asset. It opens up a HUGE can of worms that decades later, she can claim part ownership of a character that he doesn’t even own, he just plays.
I think Kirk never got to 93.
Sure, this won't fly - how ironic is it, though, that these folks don't have any problem with the liberal mentality of government being entitled to 50% or more of what productive Americans earn. Double standard indeed.
Dunno, sounds like his case is based on Clintonian hair-splitting of the terms “sequel” and “spinoff.”.
Based on Oliver Stone’s recent track record, no one’s going to see it anyway, so the whole thing will be moot.
And I want a pony.
War of the Roses
PERFECT ! ! !
“Double standard indeed.”
Nail hit squarely on head!
Kirk is still alive and will be 94 in December.
Kirk turns 94 in December and still blogs on MySpace according to Wikipedia.
Did you not watch the entire movie “War of the Roses”?
I do not believe he is dead yet.
Gold digging B*tch......
Has she already burned through the 45 million already?
Why? The left enjoy spreading their wealth.
MD only has a son with wife #1. I don’t think MD has any daughters?
Methinks this is misplaced lashing out over the son going to prison for the drug conviction.
He has one with CZJ.
