prenup
If Khlodom splits, he keeps the house, his money.
Newly revealed details of the prenuptial agreement Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom signed—nearly three weeks after their September 2009 wedding—show that if the endless love that is Khlodom comes to an end, Lamar will keep not just his Lakers salary ($33 million over the next four years) but also the $4 million Tarzana, Calif., house he bought for them to live in. Sounds like Khloe's lawyer dropped the ball, yes?
TMZ reports that Khloe signed papers to acknowledge that the seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom house is Lamar's "sole and separate property" in the event that they split up, and … Read More
Gay marriage. Open marriage. Prenups. Infidelity. Why the fuss? A new documentary clears the air.
In New Jersey, the state Senate just canceled the vote for a bill that would allow for same-sex marriage. If such a bill had passed, New Jersey would have become the sixth state to allow such a union, a right that many gay couples (and their supporters) have been desperately pursuing for years. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods—a successful pro golfer married to the beautiful Elin Nordegren—was recently discovered to have an entire bevy of mistresses. One might surmise that, in his case, marriage wasn't enough.
And he's (obviously) not the only one who's found him or herself unsatisfied … Read More
Ex-boyfriend says Khloe fabricated their relationship for TV.
Khloe Kardashian's marriage to Lamar Odom is now in its third (calendar) month, which means it's lasted longer than we predicted. But now we're suspecting the romance of Khlodom might not be all they've promised us, as Khloe's ex-boyfriend steps forward to reveal that she and sister Kourtney fabricated a relationship for their E! show, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. What?! Not everything on TV is real?! We are scandalized!
Khloe's ex, Timberwolves guard Rashad McCants, says that a scene on K&K in which the sisters hacked into his voice mail and listened to dirty messages left by a … Read More
Kardashian wedding will finally be official this week.
Khloe Kardashian and her husband of three weeks (and acquaintance of nearly two months), Lakers forward Lamar Odom, have reached a prenuptial agreement and will sign their marriage license this week, according to sources. E! threw a lavish wedding for the couple Sept. 27, but they were not legally married at that time because the prenup wasn't worked out yet. We are, frankly, a little surprised that the relationship lasted long enough for lawyers to work out all the details, what with the lightning-quick courtship and, of course, the fact that the whole thing seemed like a … Read More
Couple couldn't sort their prenup, so wedding was just a pricey party.
Three days after their giant organza explosion of a wedding, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are not legally married, TMZ reports. Lawyers were not able to prepare and finalize a prenuptial agreement pre the nuptials, so while the couple swore in front of God and everybody on Sunday that they'll love, honor, and obey community property laws, they did not actually sign a marriage license. But all those pesky legalities are just the boring parts that aren't usually shown on one-hour E! specials, right, Bruce Jenner?
Sources tell the gossip website that family lawyers began negotiating the prenup on … Read More
Occasionally we get it wrong. Sorry Madonna, Katy Perry & Brad Pitt.
There has been a rash of wrong stories lately in the gossip game and it, frankly, sickens us. We've come to understand that the most important thing for a gossip monger is to get it right and not to entertain or titillate (heh). The blogosphere has a responsibility to take its time, gather the 411 (that's what the kids are calling information), fact-check, nail the syntax and grammar and put out Pulitzer-quality posts up to a dozen times per day.
That's why the celeb snark industry is just beside itself this week for really letting you, the reader, down this week.
First … Read More
Signing on this dotted line could safeguard your financial future.
When I had my kids, I bought ipecac syrup to keep in the medicine cabinet on the off chance that one of them might swallow something potentially fatal. Twenty years later, the bottle's still there, its seal unbroken, my heart full of thanks.
We hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Like any halfway intelligent person, we pay our insurance premiums, get our mammograms, fasten our seat belts, and go through life.
So what is it about a prenuptial agreement that sends the perfectly rational among us into a giant, collective cringe?
The evidence for their usefulness, accrued … Read More
It looks like Alex Rodriguez's marriage is basically done.
As the late, great Mel Allen would say, "How about that?" The Rods, A and C, have settled their divorce amicably. According to The Hollywood Gossip, Alex Rodriguez and Cynthia Rodriguez have "deliberately engaged in these private negotiations. During the negotiations and resolution all decisions were made with the best interests of their children as the paramount concern." Pretty good, prett-y good.
The details of the deal were not made public but we're guessing that some blabbermouth clerk will probably spill the beans to the New York Post within a day or so. We mentioned back … Read More
It turns out it's not fraud to tell a loved one that it's a real diamond.
OK. A guy and a lady got married. They were happy or as happy as any of us are. Then thinks took a left turn to irreconcilable differences town (somewhere in Pennsylvania). Lady finds out that her rock (shine, ice, bling, whatever you kids call it these days) was actually not made of naturally occurring crystalline carbon formed by the pressures of plate tectonics (and the financier of some of the world's nastiest civil wars). No this stone was made of CZ (or cubic zirconium as our family calls diamonds). But, evidently it's not a crime to give … Read More
Brooke Mueller & Charlie are pregnant. It's less complicated for Denise.
Wow, a big week in the on-going battle for public affection between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. Everyone is reporting that Chaz and (surprisingly only) third wife Brooke Mueller are expecting a baby, presumably sired by him and to borne by her, per The Blemish. The 2 have been married since late May 2008 and are clearly anxious to start a family. As you probably know, Sheen has a couple of little girls with ex-wife and ex-reality TV participant Denise Richards (more on that in a sec). While we don't know much about the soon … Read More
