Thanks, I was going crazy trying to figure out where that was coming from--some people seem to be taking it to heart though! Does money have to change hands in order to settle or can they just agree to drop everything and call it a settlement?

They can settle without money changing hands, but I'm going to mindlessly speculate that some money changed hands, with most of it paying the lawyers, leaving the chick with enough to get her out of the near insolvency she's reportedly in. And I'm also going to mindlessly speculate that the settlement is contingent on both sides keeping the details private, and if she ever does any "tell-all" book, or whatever, Mr. Bill will own her.
