A New York judge threw out her lawsuit in November, saying the
dispute belonged in California, where the couple divorced in 2000 after
23 years together. Her lawyers asked the judge Tuesday to reconsider.
With Diandra Douglas looking on, the actor’s lawyer
noted his recent fight with throat cancer and said his ex “should be
ashamed of herself” for seeking more money when she’s gotten more than
$51 million from him in the divorce and her stake in some earnings
afterward. Her lawyers, meanwhile, mentioned his recent purchase of a $5
million-plus home near New York and his children’s private schools.
Leaving court, Diandra Douglas lamented the “mudslinging” she felt was directed at her.
“I’ve always behaved as a lady, and I always intend to do so in the future,” she said. “I think the facts speak for themselves.”
Michael Douglas wasn’t at court. His lawyer, Marilyn
B. Chinitz, said his former wife’s claim was meritless, and “she ought
to get the message and move on.”
The couple’s lengthy, multimillion-dollar divorce
deal gives Diandra Douglas a share of proceeds from projects related to
work the actor did when they were married.
She says that should include last year’s follow-up to
“Wall Street,” the 1987 Oliver Stone discount christian
louboutin shoes film that won Michael Douglas an
Oscar for his portrayal of an era-encapsulating financier who declared
that “greed is good.” The actor’s camp says the divorce agreement
doesn’t apply to the second “Wall Street,” which wasn’t on the horizon
when the couple split. Released in September, it grossed more than $100
million worldwide.

the Academy has adjusted its rules and adapted to industry changes over the years, these changes follow its first major examination of the awards structure, a process that took more than a year.The biggest change will come in the number of categories, cut from 109 to 78. Awards will no longer be given in such categories as rap performance by a duo or group; some of the instrumental categories in pop, rock and country; traditional gospel; children’s spoken-word album; Zydeco or Cajun music album; and best classical crossover album.
That doesn’t mean that those types of music are ineligible; they will simply compete within larger fields.
Portnow said the changes will make the awards process more rigorous.
“That’s appropriate. We are talking about the most prestigious, coveted award and it should be a high bar in terms of the measurement of receiving that,” he said.
Separate male and female vocal categories in fields like pop, R&B and country are among those being dropped. Men and women will now compete in each overall field. That is already the case in the Louboutin Sandals field of rock, which does not have male and female vocal categories.
“A great singer is a great singer is a great singer, and somebody that has a gift in terms of their voice, and is at the top of their game in terms of their delivery and emotion, really isn’t necessarily defined by gender,” Portnow said.
The changes would appear to make it more difficult for artists in lesser-known and less mainstream categories. Tia Carrere won’t be taking home any more Grammys for best Hawaiian music album, for example. But she could still win in the new best regional roots music album category, which comprises more genres.
