Diandra Douglas Money Claim Dismissed in Court
It looks like Gordon Gekko will keep his cash for now. A Manhattan judge has dismissed a claim brought against Michael Douglas by his ex-wife Diandra Douglas in regard to his paycheck for the movie Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps. The ex-Mrs. Douglas was looking to get half of his take, arguing that because Douglas first played Gordon Gekko in Wall Street when the pair was married it qualified as a spin-off from his existing products. The battle may not be over yet. The judge did say that because their 1997 divorce settlement took place in California that's where the case belongs. Michael Douglas' attorney, Marilyn Chinitz seemed confident that if Diandra refiles the case in California she will have no greater luck because judges there are accustomed to film industry cases.The pair had an acrimonious divorce. Michael Douglas was accused of being a sex addict who was unfaithful and Diandra Douglas pocketed a reported $45 million. She also got a home in Montecito, California that she currently has listed for $29 million.

Seriously, what a b*tch. Rich as f*ck as it is despite never actually having had to work and she never will have to work. But its still not enough. She is entitled to absolutely nothing and it is pathetic she got anything in the divorce because I do not remember her acting in any of the movies.
