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.

My apologies to the Douglas family. I may have confused him with Lloyd Bridges.
Could be - that could only add fuel to whatever fire was already there.
Understatement!
Yes, I did watch the entire movie.
I was going to say she’s got a heck of a nerve suing him for a share of a movie he did long after they were divorced. But if they agreed in the settlement that she was entitled to a cut of any sequels to “Wall Street”...yeah, she has a point.
Ok I thought she’d had 2 boys?
If this is a divorce term, you’re right.
OTOH, isn’t 45 million enough? Choke on it...
He sure does look like his dad, don’t he?
He’s a well worn 65 year old. I’m sure there were/are heavy drugs and drinking to go along with cigarette smoking. None of those things add to ‘aging well’.
Maybe she’s wearing (worn) him out too, not that that’s a bad thing, btw...
And that is the question. Is WS2 a spin-off or a sequel as Michael claims.
From what I heard on tv this AM, Michael might have the upper hand in this. As usual, it will come down to what a judge thinks is proper.
You're thinking of Alec Baldwin, but he and his daughter, seen here in 2009, now seem to be on much better terms.
you may be right about that, i confess i just looked at the names and thought, that one’s a girl :-)
LOL I know no more than you do because I looked at the name and thought who would name a girl that?
Looks a little like Don Imus.
