Michael Douglas' Ex-Wife Loses Legal Battle For Wall Street Money
Michael Douglas
Diandra Douglas, the ex-wife of actor Michael Douglas, has lost a protracted legal battle, which was an attempt to receive funds from the film "Wall Street 2." The Douglas' divorce settlement reached a few sticking points when they arrived at the issue of dividing marital assets and future royalties from the actor's films.

However, the divorce was eventually decided, after 23-years of marriage, which is regrettable. In 2010, Douglas did the sequel to the film "Wall Street." Diandra Douglas contested the divorce settlement, as the first film took place during their marriage in the 1980s and as such, she believed she was entitled to money from what became a franchise with the sequel. However, Judge Matthew F. Cooper denied the appeal stating it is a matter for the California courts to decide.

Catherine Zeta-Jones Punched In The Face By Paparazzi
Catherine Zeta Jones reacts to being punched by a paparazzo
Welsh actress, Catherine Zeta Jones, was punched in the face by paparazzi, as she entered Claridges Hotel in London. The actress was understandably angry, as the incident should not have happened and was way over the line. Her husband, actor, Michael Douglas, who is battling cancer, chased the photographer away.
Michael Douglas chases the paparazzo away that punched his wife
Paparazzi sometimes cross the line in getting too close and invading others' private space. This is wholly inappropriate and needs to stop. One does not need to get that close to someone to take a picture. It's offensive. Conversely, stars should not attack the paparazzi either. However, this incident indicates Zeta-Jones did nothing wrong.

Film Review: Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Title: Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Year Of Release: 2010
Review Date: December 31, 2010
Rating: PG-13
Running time: 133 minutes
Box Office Gross: $129,771,896
Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars
"Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" is the sequel to the 1988 film "Wall Street." The derivative follow up stars Michael Douglas and Shia LaBeouf. I state derivative, because this movie is largely comprised of unsourced, verbatim quotes from published, preexisting copyrighted articles on the 2008 Economic Depression that began on Wall Street and swept the world.
The second installment picks up where the first film left off. It opens with the release of incarcerated inside trader and overall felon, Gordon Gekko (not Geico). He is deposited back into the population with $1,800 to his name. However, Gekko, immediately begins scheming, seeking ways to become rich again, after 8-years in the pokey (prison).
Gekko's embittered daughter, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), is engaged to marry, Jacob (Shia LaBeouf), who is a stock broker bent on revenge, after the death of his mentor and boss, Lou Zabel, who killed himself when facing financial ruination, willfully orchestrated by a greedy financier, Bretton James (Josh Brolin). Many have lost their money in the crisis, but suicide is not the way out. Getting back on your feet and rebuilding is.
"Wall Street 2" was well filmed, but lacked the potency and authenticity of the original, but thankfully, a lot of the filth is missing this time around. It is anti-climactic.Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Michael Douglas' Son Sentenced To 5 Years In Prison
Cameron Douglas and Michael Douglas
Cameron Douglas, the son of Hollywood actor, Michael Douglas, has been sentenced to 5-years in prison on drug dealing charges. Many believe the judge gave him below the mandatory 10-years, due to his dad's celebrity.
Hopefully, Douglas junior will use this opportunity to detox and regain control of his life. His family has battled drug issues for years, but when he was cut off from his dad's money, out of concerns it was fueling his drug habit, he became a dealer.

Did Michael Douglas' Son Get Celeb Treatment With Reduced Sentence?
Today 1:33 PM PDT - Sure, having a movie star father may have contributed to getting Cameron Douglas into this legal mess. But it also seems to have helped get him out of it.
Michael Douglas' son was sentenced to five years in prison today, just half of what is otherwise (like, for offenders without famous relatives) a minimum—yes, minimum—10-year term.

Michael Douglas' Son Charged As Drug Dealer
The United States Drug Enforcement Agency, has arrested and indicted Hollywood actor, Cameron Douglas, the son of wealthy veteran actor, Michael Douglas, the star of such films as "Wall Street" for dealing in large quantities of crystal meth. He is accused of selling many pounds of the drug and as such, he is now facing a decade in prison if convicted.
True to federal form, the DEA was silently watching Cameron Douglas for years (three), quietly conducting an investigation, moving in on him this week, with criminal charges that came as a surprise to many.
Many of you are probably wondering, why the son of a rich actor would become a drug dealer. Maybe his dad cut him off financially, not wanting to support his habit and it mushroomed into something else, drug dealing.
