More Expensive Hollywood Divorces

In a previous blog I discussed the $2 million payout supermodel Christie Brinkley has been mandated to hand over to her cheating ex-husband Peter Cook. While $2 million may sound a lot to the average person, stats show it’s peanuts compared to what other Hollywood spouses get when they split from their celebrity partners. Typically, the bigger the star, the greater the payout. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the following star couples who landed in divorce court.

How the Midwestern Floods are Affecting Summer Travel Plans

The Academy Award-winner (Costner, not my dad) has never been shy about expressing his love for baseball. Whenever the “Field of Dreams” star gets a chance to support America’s favorite past time he steps up to the plate—-no questions asked. In keeping with that tradition, Costner is now appearing on TV commercials asking viewers to support a famous ballpark in Omaha, Nebraska. Rosenblatt Stadium has hosted the College World Series each summer for more than 50 years. This year alone the stadium … Continue reading →
