Nick Lachey gets screwed in his divorce settlement


Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson’s divorce was finalized in early July. Nick was offered an insulting $1.5 million settlement by Jessica’s creepy father, Joe Simpson, in early June. The couples joint assets are valued at well over $30 million, so that was truly a piss poor amount. (Albeit one that would change most anyone else’s life.)

Nick was said to be holding out for a relatively paltry $8 million, which he lowered to just $5 million.

Now Nick and Jessica have reached an undisclosed settlement, but Nick’s share is said to be well less than half of the couple’s assets:

TMZ has learned that Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey have divided up the assets in their marriage, and Nick agreed to less than his share in order to avoid an ugly court fight.

The couple amassed a fortune during their three-year marriage, in no small part because of their MTV reality show “Newlyweds” and the avalanche of endorsements and other deals that followed. Jessica refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, so under California law the assets — estimated at $36 million — are to be divided equally. So Jessica and Nick should each get $18…

Sources say in the property settlement — which has not yet been filed in court — Nick will take significantly more than the $1.5 million, but considerably less than 50% of what he and Jessica earned during the marriage. Two sources in Nick’s camp made it clear to TMZ that Lachey agreed to end the dispute because he does not want to hurt anyone in a contentious court battle.

Lachey’s people could have leaked that news to make him seem like a good guy, but he is a good guy. There’s no blaming Simpson, since she generally seems to do what people tell her and simple math is probably way above her head. Now she’ll have more cash to buy terrible ill-fitting fashion thanks to her daddy playing hardball.

Kate Hudson is no longer wearing her wedding ring


Thanks to Haute Gossip for pointing out that Kate Hudson has a bare left ring finger in these candids of her leaving Nobu in Malibu with some poorly-dressed friends on Friday. Word was that Kate and Chris Hudson might reconcile after announcing their separation just three weeks ago. They were seen out with their three year-old son, Ryder, and there was a rumor that they were going to attend a NASCAR event together. That doesn’t seem too romantic, and it might not have been enough to save their marriage.

Chris was said to have involved Kate in threesomes and group sex while on tour with his band, The Black Crowes. There was a recent blind item in the NY Post that suggested that a famous woman involved in a high-profile breakup was more into the women in the menage a trois she was involved with than her husband. Many people assumed it was about Hudson. Let’s hope the chicks she liked were hotter than the ones she’s hanging out with now.

Richie Sambora wants to dump Denise and get back with Heather


A new article in Life and Style claims that as Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear’s high-profile divorce is close to reaching a settlement, Richie is having second thoughts and realizes how much he loves his wife of 11 years. He even sent a $500 pink and red rose bouquet to Heather.

The report details that with his divorce from Heather nearly final; Richie is having a change of heart. An insider tells the weekly magazine Life & Style that while Richie’s girlfriend, Denise Richards, was in Hawaii; Richie had two “incredibly emotional” phone conversations with Heather.

“He’s realizing its ending and doesn’t want it to,” the insider tells L&S. “He’s still in love with her.”

So what do men in love an in trouble do at times like this? Send flowers - or in Richie’s case - a lot of flowers. The report claims that on Aug. 10, the insider says Richie sent Heather a massive $500 bouquet of red and pink roses.

Wow. He must realize what he’s missing with Heather. Sambora was said to be totally surprised to be served divorce papers this February and even denied to the press that he and Heather were split. Maybe he’s not ready to let go.

If that’s true, it’s got to piss off his media-whore girlfriend, Denise Richards. Denise recently reached an amicable “interim” settlement with her ex, Charlie Sheen, who she famously skewered in the press on the eve of his children’s clothing line launch. Denise didn’t renew a restraining order against Sheen and according to their lawyers they’re getting along.

Denise and Richie were said to be planning a wedding for early next year, and Denise was seen wearing what looked like an engagement ring. She followed Richie to Europe while he was touring with Bon Jovi and seemed really needy in the relationship. If this is true then he’s obviously sick of her. Men don’t usually like women who hang all over them.

Al Reynolds, Star Jones’ husband, visits a divorce lawyer


It turns out that gig with HGTV may not work out for Star Jones, because they deny having any plans to hire her, and so do Fox News and CNN, two other networks she claimed to be in talks with. Now that Star is talk show poison, her husband, Al Reynolds, seems to have decided there’s no reason to continue his sham marriage. He was spotted at the NY office of a high profile divorce attorney:

Last week Al Reynolds visited the offices of the divorce law firm Blank Rome LLP in New York’s Chrysler building. MediaTakeOut.com spoke exclusively with a building employee who first noticed Star’s soon-to-be-ex. According to the witness, “Al walked up to the security desk and signed in to visit [one of the Blank Rome’s divorce lawyers] Stanford Lotwin.”

Mr. Lotwin is one of the most prominent divorce attorney’s in New York. He worked on the high-profile divorces of Howard Stern, Donald Trump, Geraldo Rivera and Diana Ross.

After remaining upstairs for nearly two hours, Al tried to quietly sneak out of the building. But before he could leave, the witness tells MediaTakeOut.com, “I walked up to him and said ‘Al, is that you’, and Al ran out of the building - almost knocking over a pregnant woman.”

For Star Jones, this news couldn’t come at a worse time. Ever since she was fired from the popular morning show The View, the daytime diva has been having trouble finding a new job. According to one insider, Star’s publicists have been telling everyone that would listen that she has a job offer from HGTV and that she’s interviewing with FOX News and CNN. But all three networks have vehemently denied having any plans that include the former lawyer. In fact, one representative for FOX News told MediaTakeOut.com that the network “has no interest in working with Star.”

Once big gay Al divorces her, Star could channel her anger and become a homophobic conservative. That might help her land a gig on FOX. She could spread her unique brand of vile across the airways. Hatred is a smidgeon more believable coming from a minority. That’s how Michelle Malkin got famous.

When doing my three minutes worth of research for this post, I came across the website for Star Jones and Al Reynold’s wedding, dated Fall, 2004. They commit a couple cardinal sins of web design with a stupid Flash entry page and making people enter their e-mail address to access content (I entered “biggayal@hotmail.com” This worked fine).

Regardless it’s clear they protest too much. I couldn’t read through all the glurge about their relationship because it kind of made me sick to my stomach. Here are some choice quotes made hysterical by this latest news:

We take marriage very seriously. We believe that marriage should be a blessed state of commitment, fidelity and love through God. Because of our love of Christ and our commitment to follow his teachings, we know that our marriage will have a sturdy foundation built upon the Word of God.

We know that our love will be sustained through faith in the promises of Christ and the prayers and support of friends and family.

God may be powerful and all, but He can’t make a gay person straight, no matter how much they hype their wedding with a formerly obese talk show host.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey’s divorce is final


We weren’t holding our breath, but we were kind of hoping Nick and Jessica would get back together. Jessica wore her wedding ring around her neck for a while, and Nick told Rolling Stone that he still loved his wife of two years, but ultimately Jessica’s immaturity and Nick’s wild oats won out and now the two are officially divorced. The divorce was made final on June 30. No word yet as to the settlement amount. Jessica’s dad tried to low-ball Nick into accepting a $1.5 million settlement, while Nick is said to have asked for a more realistic $8 million that he lowered to $5 million.

Nick is dating MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo while Jessica may be with her co-star in the upcoming film “Employee of the Month,” comedian Dane Cook. Cook was involved with someone else at the time of filming, but is now single and said to be getting cosy with Jessica.

This is sad news for Nick and Jessica fans, and should serve as a warning to all women who try to hold out before marriage and then get married young because they can’t wait.

Here is Jessica in NY on 6/28. She’s wearing the deadly long jeans/platform sandals combo that caused Britney’s near baby-drop. Nick Lachey is shown performing a private concert for Q-100 listeners on 6/29.

Charlie Sheen’s new girlfriend, Brooke Wolofsky


Charlie Sheen, 40, is dating 28-year-old real estate investor Brooke Wolofsky. Sheen brought Wolofsky as his date to the 2006 Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles this weekend. His publicist confirmed their relationship:

The actor, who has reportedly been looking for love on the Internet since splitting from Richards at the beginning of 2006, showed off new girlfriend Brooke Wolofsky at the 2006 Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Sheen’s new woman is a 28-year-old real estate investor.

The actor’s publicist, Stan Rosenfeld, has confirmed his client is dating Wolofsky, adding, “They make a very happy couple.”

That’s good for Sheen, and hopefully it will last for him. Now that his ex Denise Richards has shown what an attention whore she is I don’t like her at all, and am kind of siding with him in the divorce.

Richards defended the fact that she’s dating and possibly engaged to BonJovi guitarist Richie Sambora, saying that Heather Locklear wasn’t really her best friend and that you can’t help it when you fall in love:

Denise says that her new relationship was the “last thing I was looking for,” adding, “it’s true when they say things happen when you least expect it.”

She confesses that dealing with the rumors hasn’t been easy. “The thing with Heather, that’s been hard … you know you can’t help who you fall for and that friendship, unfortunately, was done and wasn’t salvageable.”

She says, “People have gone on. … Would you date your best [friend’s husband]? You know she wasn’t my best friend. She was a close friend in the last couple of years — I hadn’t known her my whole life [like] people [are] portraying this.”

She finishes, “[It’s] been tough having people think that I’m such a crappy friend — because if we were friends I wouldn’t be in this situation.”

On rumors that she and Richie got together before their respective marriages were kaput, Denise says, “I get why people have been hurt in this situation — you know, it’s not good but it is what it is.” But she stresses that both her and Richie’s former relationships were over before they got together: “We didn’t meddle in marriages and anything like that … I wish everyone in this whole ugly situation the best and at the end of the day, it’s not just two couples, there’s children involved. And that’s what’s hard. My girls can’t read these tabloids. Their daughter (Richie and Heather’s) can. So that’s hard too.”

She’s full of shit and that’s lousy to say “oh, I wasn’t that close to Heather anyway.” She shouldn’t go on so much about it, and just looks as desperate as she did when she dressed like a slutty majorette to perform with the PussyCat Dolls.

Here are Sheen and Wolofsky. She looks like a decent person and we’ll have to see how it turns out. If she has some of the same problems with Charlie that Denise did, we’ll rethink our opinion of him. He’s not a saint, but he’s probably not as bad as Denise makes out.

Heather Mills in TWO more porn books; denies she was a hooker (NSFW)


Heather Mills, of course, had to open her big mouth to deny that she was a high paid hooker back in the 80s and early 90s, as was reported in convincing detail yesterday in The News of the World.

Mills says she’s going to sue News of the World, uh, when her divorce is final. Yeah, right. She’s just threatening legal action to make it look like the story’s false, but she won’t take it to court because she can’t prove it’s not true.

Now TWO more books have come out showing Heather nude and simulating sex . We can’t wait to hear how she’s going to address these pictures, because you know she’s going to say something stupid trying to defend herself:

TWO more graphic publications featuring Lady Heather Mills McCartney emerged yesterday — threatening to widen her rift with husband Sir Paul.

The ex-model posed for hard core porn pictures in an X-rated US booklet crammed with snaps of sex scenes.

In the 1988 book, titled Sexual Secrets, she is seen performing a sex act, indulging in bondage and simulating full sex…

The sleeve of Sexual Secrets calls it a “photographic journey” through “exotic love acts”. The book contains no words…

Meanwhile last night it emerged that Heather — who split from Macca last month after four married years — was also pictured in a top-shelf French magazine.

It is thought she appeared in a number of graphic poses.

Last night rocker Sir Paul, 63 was bracing himself for the latest revelations. A pal said: “This will be yet another bombshell for him.

“Heather always insisted her modelling past just included a sex guide. But Paul’s since been made aware just how pornographic some pictures are. He has always thought the Press were out to get her and exaggerating her colourful past — but now he just isn’t sure. He’s not sure how much he can believe what she’s saying — even about her alleged past as a hooker.

“They’re still talking as they have to think about their two-year-old daughter Beatrice. But the conversations aren’t as amicable as they were.”

Some readers think McCartney is funding the research into Heather’s raunchy past in order to avoid losing a significant portion of his estate in the divorce. This seems like the most plausible explanation to us. The papers are saying how surprised and devastated he is by all this, which sounds a bit too put-on for our taste. Reader Millie thinks that the British press might just be out for blood now that the divorce is underway. Either way, Heather needs to shut up and hide out until this passes over. She’s coming off as an even less sympathetic character.

Here are Heather and Paul on the celebrity edition of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire.” He looks quite uncomfortable, and it is said that Heather forced him to do the show. She leans away from Paul and her body language is telling.

That video is part one of three.
Part two of “Who wants to be a Millionaire” with Paul and Heather
Part three of “Who wants to be a Millionaire” with Paul and Heather

And here are the raunchy pictures.

Nick Lachey with Vanessa Minnillo again; probably dumped Kim Kardashian


Nick Lachey hooked up with MTV VJ and former fling Vanessa Minnillo in Atlantic City after meeting up with her at a club on Sunday night. They left together and things must have heated up quickly for the pair, because they were then spotted in Mexico together according to PerezHilton:

Nick & Vanessa are giving love a second chance and they’re getting steamy!

Not only did they get freaky at the Borgota Hotel this weekend but they also just took a romantic getaway together to an exclusive resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

It is difficult to tell whether they were in Mexico first and planned to meet up at the club, or if they met in Atlantic City and promptly jetted off to the vacation spot. Either way, it looks like they’re back together and that this means curtains for Nick’s relationship with stylist Kim Kardashian.

Kardashian, who was linked to Nick after a romantic movie date on May 24th, has been seen out shopping and attending events with Paris Hilton. Her friendship with the flightly self-centered heiress couldn’t have helped her relationship with Lachey, whose friends thought Kardshian’s status as an outsider from the usual Hollywood circle was part of what made her attractive to Lachey. Kardashian’s gorgeous looks couldn’t have hurt, either.

This is also bad news for poor Jessica Simpson. She seems to have come to terms with the fact that it’s over between her and Nick, because she may have approved of his relationship with Kardashian. Jessica reportedly sent her best friend and ex-assistant Cacee Cobb to check out Kardashian for her, and Cacee is said to have called Kim “nice.” Nick and Jessica’s divorce may be final on June 17th, and it looks like Nick is moving on with style.

Here is Lachey promoting his album at Lucky Strike lanes in Chicago on June 12th and at the Borgata Hotel Casino fight weekend after party on June 11th. He is shown with Tyson Beckford. The poor quality inset images are of Minnillo and Lachey in Cabo San Lucas.

Heather Mills was a high class hooker who loved the ladies (NSFW)

Heather Mills was a well paid hooker who participated in orgies and had gay and straight sex, according to sworn statements from two people who worked with her and revealed information verified by Britain’s News of the World. Mills didn’t just sell her body once or twice to pay the electric bill - she worked as a prostitute for years:

In an investigation spanning Europe and the Middle East we have tracked down the former high-class hooker who partnered her for an orgy in London’s Dorchester Hotel - and later became convinced that Heather’s bisexual games weren’t just an act for her kinky clients.

In sworn affidavits we have evidence from the private secretary who paid Heather for pleasuring his billionaire master.

And we have testimony from Denise Hewitt, the ex-wife of the heir to the Berkeley Homes empire, that she joined Heather for lesbian games and group sex when they were both London prostitutes.

We can identify the madam who booked many of Heather’s rich and famous clients for a 20 per cent fee.

And we reveal that Heather’s vice trade wasn’t simply a moment of madness in her life. It went on for years.

Her secret sex games with international arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi took place in Spain’s Marbella and at the Lanesborough, Hilton, Dorchester and Grosvenor House hotels in London’s Mayfair.

She was paid amounts totalling £2,000 in sterling plus another 8,000 US dollars - currently about £4,400. But this was just a fraction of a secret fortune she amassed.

Heather earned a further £1,000 for a foursome with two other escort girls and an Arab prince at the Dorchester on London’s Park Lane.

A former escort girl named Petrina Montrose, who joined Heather for the Dorchester hotel orgy, told the News of the World: “Heather was a familiar face in our business.

“I worked with her when we were both hired for a party thrown by an Arab prince at the Dorchester.”

The 37-year-old, who now lives in Essex, said that she and Heather had been booked by a girl named Ros Ashley who also modelled swimwear under the single professional name ‘Ashley’.

Petrina continued: “It was a really lavish affair. There was a buffet of Lebanese food and Ashley was already there with a group of about six working girls, including Heather.

“The prince was tall and greasy and I wanted to leave but I knew that to get my money I’d have to have sex with anyone in the room who picked me. Still, Heather was bubbling over with enthusiasm.

“All the girls separated and, after a while, a blonde girl opened the prince’s bedroom door and beckoned me in. The prince was lying naked on the bed with his legs apart.

“The blonde girl lay on the bed between his legs, then I saw that Heather was already in there too. She was naked on the bed, kneeling next to the prince’s midriff. I took off my clothes and joined everyone on the bed. I knelt facing Heather and we performed oral sex on the prince. Then all four of us played together on the bed before the blonde girl who called me in had full sex with him.

“When we’d finished, Heather made no attempt to put her clothes on. Instead she started parading naked around the room, trying to impress the prince even more. At the end, Ashley paid us £1,000 each.”

Heather’s sex trade is also detailed by Abdul Khoury, who was Adnan Khashoggi’s private secretary from 1977 until last year.

Mr Khoury, who now lives in the Lebanon, has a great memory for detail. In precise language he told us: “I was responsible for organising all Mr Khashoggi’s arrangements, including meetings, travel and his social diary.

“One of my duties was to look after Mr Khashoggi’s guests, which would include looking after vice girls who were invited to see him. One was Heather Mills, who I know had sex with him on a number of occasions in return for money.

“Sometimes Mr Khashoggi would make comments to me about the girls he paid to have sex with him.

“In Heather’s case I remember his remark that she had soft skin. And she was very athletic in bed. Mr Khashoggi was always very pleased with Heather’s performance.”

But Joanna wasn’t. It later became clear to those in Khashoggi’s circle of women that when all three of them were in the bedroom Heather had ‘tried it on’ with Joanna and suggested lesbian sex - and that it was much more than a performance for the arms dealer’s benefit.

Petrina Montrose recalled: “I was told that Heather has come on to a girl in a threesome and that the girl was upset. It’s completely out of order for one prostitute to make a lesbian approach to another unless it’s been discussed beforehand.

“But Heather seemed as interested in the sexual side of things - even lesbian sex - as well making money.”

The prince’s secretary goes on to reveal more specifics involving group sex and trysts Mills had with the prince over several years, with the latest being in the early 90s.

This is incredible, and it looks like News of the World did their homework and isn’t just making this up. Before Mills and McCartney separated, I remember reading gossip that claimed that Mills used to entertain rich Middle Eastern men, but it didn’t get into such raunchy specifics.

Mills is not going to escape this explosive news, and she better lay low for a while. Of course she can always claim to have been working as a sex therapist at the time - that defense seemed to have been quite effective with her porny picture book.

She’s going to get creamed in the divorce settlement with Paul McCartney now, and will be lucky if she comes away with a paltry few million to live on. She’s going to have to deal with the embarassment from this scandal for the rest of her life.
