Michael Douglas, now happily married to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, previously had a lengthy marriage with Diandra Luker.

The couple was together for nearly two decades before parting ways, a separation that would become one of Hollywood’s most expensive divorces.

Douglas, known for his roles in iconic films such as “Fatal Attraction” and “Wall Street,” has cemented his place as one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actors.

He has been awarded two Oscars, one for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and the other for his role in “Wall Street.”

A Costly Divorce

Michael Douglas and Diandra Luker were married for 18 years before deciding to separate. Their divorce became notorious due to the substantial financial settlement. Douglas was ordered to pay his ex-wife $45 million, making it one of Hollywood’s most costly divorces at the time. Additionally, Diandra received their shared residence in Santa Barbara, California.

However, the financial demands did not end there. In 2011, Diandra returned to court, seeking more money. She argued that she had supported Douglas during the making of “Wall Street” and therefore deserved half of the income from the film’s sequel. This legal battle occurred shortly after Douglas was diagnosed with cancer, leading to public backlash against Diandra for allegedly seeking money from a sick man.

In response to the criticism, Diandra clarified, “Michael didn’t know he was ill, I didn’t know he was ill, and the gods didn’t know he was ill. I am not into going after sick people for things that don’t belong to me.” She ultimately lost the case and did not receive additional funds from Douglas.

Life Post-Divorce

Despite the legal battles, Diandra seems to have no financial worries. She lived a life of luxury in Mallorca until 2019. The villa she once shared with Douglas, “S’Estaca,” overlooks the cliffs of Sa Foradada and the sea. The property boasts 10 bedrooms, a loft, two cottages, terraces, a pool, a wine cellar, and private sea access on a vast 100-hectare plot. In 2019, Douglas bought out Diandra’s share of the villa.

Following the sale, Diandra moved to Ibiza, where she now spends much of her time. She frequently shares pictures from her life in Ibiza on social media. Diandra is accompanied by her twins, Hudson and Hawk, whom she had via a surrogate with ex Zach Hampton Bacon III, and her daughter Imara de Morrell Douglas, whom she adopted from Russia in 2005.

In 2022, Diandra sold an apartment in New York for an astonishing $17 million, according to the New York Post. Her post-divorce lifestyle reflects significant luxury and comfort.

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones

Today, Michael Douglas is married to Catherine Zeta-Jones, with whom he shares two children, Dylan and Carys. Both Douglas and Zeta-Jones are Oscar-winning actors and continue to be prominent figures in Hollywood.

The story of Douglas’s expensive divorce and Diandra’s luxurious lifestyle post-separation offers a glimpse into the complex and often costly personal lives of Hollywood celebrities. Share your thoughts on Diandra’s lifestyle and let other fans of Michael Douglas know about this fascinating piece of Hollywood history.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had one of the most talked-about marriages in the early 2000s, and from their union came their daughter, Suri Cruise, who is now turning 18 on April 18!

Despite her strained relationship with her father, recent sightings of Suri show a striking resemblance to Tom. She’s determined to carve her own path in life, distinct from her parents’ careers. Reports suggest she’s keen on making her mark in the fashion industry.

While she’s chosen a different direction in life, Suri has showcased her acting talents in a high school play, playing Morticia in a musical adaptation of “The Addams Family.” Apart from diverging from her parents’ professions, she’s reportedly distanced herself from her father’s Scientology beliefs.

Tom and Katie split when Suri was just five, and since then, she hasn’t had much contact with her father. Their relationship remains strained, with Tom acknowledging that the divorce altered their family dynamic.

He attributed Katie’s decision to keep Suri away from him to concerns about Scientology’s influence.

Tom’s dedication to Scientology reportedly led to restrictions on his relationship with Suri, as the church deemed her a “suppressive person.” Despite this, Suri has continued to thrive. Fans have observed that she hasn’t changed much since childhood.

Suri’s transformation over the years has been documented through various photographs. From a chubby-cheeked toddler to a poised young woman, her evolution is evident.

Her resemblance to both her parents has sparked debates among fans, with some likening her to Tom and others to Katie.

While her parents’ careers are rooted in acting, Suri has shown a talent for music, contributing covers for her mother’s productions. However, she leads a relatively normal life, balancing school and friendships.

As she approaches adulthood, Suri is contemplating her future, with plans to pursue fashion studies in New York City. Despite her mother’s successful acting career, Suri has been given the freedom to explore her own interests, with Katie encouraging her to follow her passions.

While their relationship may have its challenges, Katie and Suri share a close bond, with the actress prioritizing their connection over her professional endeavors. As Suri embarks on her journey into adulthood, she carries with her a blend of her parents’ traits and aspirations, poised to make her mark on the world.

Jenny from the block is celebrating another year around the sun.

The “Selena” star continued her 55th birthday celebrations in the Hamptons with family and friends on Sunday by hosting a lunch at Arthur & Sons.

A source told Page Six she got emotional at the table while telling stories about her past.

Lopez was joined by her longtime manager, Benny Medina, her kids, Max and Emme, and sister Lynda.

J.Lo and her guests dined on classic fried calamari, meatballs with ricotta, artichoke alla romano, salads, chicken parm.

Spicy rigatoni alla vodka, spaghetti aglio olio, lobster benedict, grilled salmon piccata over spinach and more.

They also enjoyed dessert from a choice of spumoni my way, limoncello cheesecake and mini cannoli.

The “Hustlers” actress looked gorgeous in a white romper that was adorned with flowers. She wore her hair in a ponytail and paired her look with sunglasses.

We’re told her husband, Ben Affleck, was not present for the meal.

On Saturday, the pop star kicked off the festivities with a “Bridgerton”-themed party. Guests wore ballroom and attire and were greeted by a horse-drawn carriage.

Lopez has been spending the last few weeks in the Hamptons as Affleck has remained across the country in Los Angeles.

The couple — who are reportedly heading for Splitsville — even spent their second wedding anniversary apart.

On July 16, the “Mother” actress was seen riding around the Hamptons in the passenger seat of a vintage Mercedes-Benz convertible while Medina drove.

Meanwhile, Affleck, 51, was seen sporting a gray suit while arriving at his office in LA on the same day.

Despite the distance between the pair, Lopez has been staying close to her stepchildren.

Last weekend, the mom of two was photographed in Southampton with her stepdaughter Violet. The “Let’s Get Loud” singer and the 18-year-old were seen with their arms wrapped around each other as they entered 75 Main restaurant.

They also spent time together at the East Hampton Antiques & Design Show last Saturday.

Amid divorce rumors, Affleck and Lopez listed their Beverly Hills home, have rarely spent time together and have been ditching their wedding rings.

Although the pair have tried to put on a united front, a source exclusively told Page Six that their marriage has been over since March.

The “Gigli” co-stars tied the knot in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022. They later held a lavish ceremony in Georgia with their friends and family.

Affleck is dad to kids Violet, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

Lopez shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Kylie Jenner looked elegant in an acid-washed blue denim A-line dress with spaghetti straps while leaving the Hotel Eden in Rome on Thursday.

The reality TV dynamo had her black hair down as she added black sunglasses and flip-flip sandals with a gold anklet for a chic vacation look as she wore a gold Cartier watch and bracelet.

The makeup mogul – who debuted Khy summer last week – was joined on her Italian vacation by daughter Stormi, six, who sported a leg cast.

The 26-year-old billionaire was also with her 2-year-old son Aire.

And alongside the family of three was Kylie’s longtime friend from Calabasas, California, swimsuit model Anastasia Karanikolaou who goes by Stassie Baby.

The party of four enjoyed lunch at Nino restaurant behind Piazza di Spagna.

There was no sign of Jenner’s boyfriend of one year, Wonka actor Timothee Chalamet, who has been shooting his Bob Dylan bio film in NYC.

The Khy founder shares both Stormi and Aire with her ex-boyfriend, rapper Travis Scott, 33.

The former couple were in an on-and-off relationship over five years before they called it quits in late 2022 — the same year they welcomed Aire together.

Stassie looked chic in a beige corset top with lace and floral print that flashed her belly piercing as she added a worn-in and ripped denim miniskirt and Mary Jane black shoes. A black Prada purse was on her shoulder as her long hair was worn down.

The Roman holiday comes after Kylie launched her summer Khy collection.

The beauty looked thinner than ever in a black Khy swimsuit and fans noticed.

Indeed, Kylie did look very thin in the plunging one-piece bathing suit while sitting on a beach, but it may have been due to the camera angle.

One said that the sister of Kendall Jenner was supporting ‘unrealistic body standards.’

Another attacked Kylie: ‘Cries about people talking about her looks but continuously shows herself in provocative ways.’

Jenner recently broke down in tears on her show The Kardashians after she was criticized for her looks.

But the positive comments outweighed the negative ones as most fans called her ‘gorgeous’ and one sharing: ‘Hot, OMG!’ She was also called a ‘Wonderful Goddess.’

The caption read: ‘Khy Vacation Shop is here!! this collection features buttery soft swim with 90s-inspired silhouettes plus mesh and soft stretch coverups. all styles are priced between $34-$78 and are available now on Khy.com @khy.’

She has been modeling the suits for weeks.

Jenner – who will turn 27-years-old on August 10 – shared her latest drop for her fashion label Khy on Thursday morning.

‘This is the vacation wardrobe of my dreams and I’m so excited to finally share it with everyone,’ Khy Founder and Creative Director Jenner said in a statement sent to DailyMail.com.

‘We took our time perfecting this collection because, as with anything we launch at Khy, the design, quality, fabric and fit are all super important to me.’

The press release added: ‘Drop 008: Vacation Shop presents the ultimate vacation-ready wardrobe.

‘Featuring an assortment of 90s-inspired swim silhouettes and elevated cover-ups in a balanced palette of neutrals and bright shades.’

‘For the swim, we created looks and options for different style and coverage preferences,’ Kylie added.

‘I wanted to make sure we were catering to everyone.

‘For the cover ups, it was important to me that these styles complemented the swim because whenever I’m on vacation or at the beach, what I’m wearing over my swimsuit is basically my whole look for the day.’

The 28 styles from Drop 008: Vacation Shop will be available in sizes XXS to 4X, with pieces priced between $34 and $88.

The collection dropped at 9am PT on Thursday.

The press release also shared: ‘Khy debuts an array of poolside ensembles just in time for the warmer season.

‘Drop 008 features buttery soft bikinis and one-pieces that echo a classic, contemporary vibe with a vintage-inspired twist.

‘With 16 swimwear styles, the collection offers a variety of coverage options for a tailored fit that caters to all, ranging from classic triangle tops and cheeky bikini bottoms, to one pieces and boy short bottoms with more coverage.

‘Designed to complement the swimwear, the assortment includes a total of 12 cover-ups – perfect for creating a full, elevated look from beach to street. The cover-up range is offered across 2 fabrications: Soft Stretch, a lightweight, ultra soft modal jersey, and Mesh, a breezy, sheer, single-layer mesh. Both fabrics are lightweight and easy to wear, offering a fashion-forward-yet-functional solution to dressing for the summer heat

‘With a palette that ranges from vibrant brights to timeless neutrals, this drop allows for striking monochromatic ensembles or playful mix-and-match separates.’

When she shared a first look at the swimsuit on Monday, fans had many comments.

Some followers thought the two piece was too small for her generous assets. One shared: ‘Why is she wearing a bra 3 size smaller?’

Jenner – who is 5ft6in tall – is believed to be a size 2 with a 24in waistline.

Another fan suggested to pose for a pay site: ‘You should get OnlyFans, you would make a fortune with this content.’

She served up a generous helping of cleavage and bared her impressively taut midriff as she sauntered casually across the sand.

As far as her romance with Chalamet, they seem to like to stay out of the public eye.

A source explained that although she raves about Timothee to her private circle, she doesn’t want to make headlines.

‘Kylie is protective of the relationship, but whenever she talks about him, she has a huge smile.

She really likes so many things about him,’ the insider told People.

‘Things are great with Timothee. Kylie is happy.

‘They are both busy, but making time to see each other, especially on the weekends,’ the source added.

‘He’s been working in NYC.

‘She’s visited him and he’s also been back to LA. some weekends. They’re making it work.’

Kylie and Timothee were spotted together in Los Angeles last week, marking their first public sighting together in five months.

The pair avoided being seen together for so long that, earlier this year, rumors began circulating that they had quietly ended their relationship.

However by late May a source had assured Entertainment Tonight that they were still together and found it ‘easy’ to keep their sizzling equation ablaze.

‘Kylie and Timothée are still seeing each other and happy. They don’t need to try to make things work and it just comes naturally to them,’ said the source.

‘Their relationship is easy. They make an effort to see each other when they can and stay in touch when they’re not geographically close to one another.’

They were first linked in April of 2023, but did not confirm their romance until that September, when they passionately kissed in the stands of a Beyoncé concert.

Fans of HGTV star Christina Hall were shocked to learn that she and her third husband Joshua Hall are divorcing after nearly three years of marriage.

The couple frequently flaunt their romance on social media and they recently signed on to star in HGTV’s The Flip Off with her ex Tarek El Moussa.

But their split may have been a longtime coming.

A source dished to PEOPLE that Josh and Christina ‘had issues in the marriage for quite some time’ before Tuesday’s divorce filing.

This comes exactly four months after Josh declared on Instagram that he and his wife were ‘still going strong’ after tying the knot in October 2021.

The post is still up on Josh’s IG page and features photos of himself and Christina kissing and hugging that were taken over the last four years.

TMZ reported that Christina and Joshua had filed for divorce after three years of marriage on Tuesday, July 16, citing irreconcilable differences.

The outlet claimed that the Christina In The Country TV stars submitted their paperwork in Orange County, California on Tuesday. The ex lovebirds stated July 8 was their first day of separation.

Joshua is asking for alimony from Christina and does not want to have to give her any money, the site added.

It was also claimed that Joshua has asked the court to ‘divvy up what was theirs respectively before they got married.’

The reality TV stars wed in October 2021 and have no children together.

This will be a third divorce for Christina who was previously married to Tarek El Moussa (2009-2018) and Ant Anstead (2018-2021).

In wake of the news, Christina deleted the couple’s wedding photo from her Instagram.

She shared the stunning image in September 2022 after they tied the knot for a second time in front of family and friends in Maui that month.

It showed Christina and Joshua — who legally wed in October 2021 — embracing while kissing at the altar as the sunset over the ocean behind them.

In the caption, she called Joshua her ‘dream man’ and gushed that their nuptials were ‘amazing.’

‘My dream man on the dreamiest island. Maui holds a special place in my heart. What an amazing night filled with love,’ she wrote.

Now, the link to Christina’s IG post brings up a blank screen with an automated Instagram message that reads: ‘sorry, this page isn’t available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.’

As for Joshua, he still has up the wedding announcement post that he shared on September 10, 2022 – days after their Maui ceremony.

Instead of photos of the couple at the altar, Joshua shared a group photo of the bride and groom hanging with their massive wedding party at a resort pool.

He gushed over being able to marry ‘the best friend I could ask for’ and joked in a follow-up post: ‘”I give [the marriage] six months.”‘

The shock divorce news comes after Christina and Joshua signed on to star on the 2025 HGTV renovation show The Flip Off with her ex Tarek and his new wife Heather Rae El Moussa.

Christina and Tarek built a home-flipping empire during their show Flip Or Flop which lasted 10 seasons. But it ended after a very publicized divorce.

This year they have been working together again on the new spinoff called The Flip Off with Tarek’s wife Heather and Christina’s now estranged spouse Joshua.

The show is set to air on HGTV in early 2025 with a two-hour premiere.

‘During the series, Tarek and Christina, along with Heather and Josh will compete to see who can find, buy, renovate and flip a house for the biggest financial gain (and a chance at major bragging rights),’ HGTV said on its site.

Christina and Joshua seemed to be doing well earlier this summer as they were seen with her children in Instagram posts.

In March they were seen holding each other and kissing when on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

They were also pictured kissing in the ocean.

‘Weekend getaways to Cabo with you are my favorite. ❤️ (love how it worked out & we traded couple pics on the beach with a professional photographer @allysimonsphoto),’ she wrote in her caption as she pointed out she was staying at the Montage in Santa Maria Bay, Los Cabos San Lucas.

Josh also posted: ‘Still going strong…03/2024⏪️03/2023⏪️03/2022⏪️03/2021. Cred: @ruthfernandez5.’

Christina then responded to his post: ‘Stilllll love you & Cabo ❤.’

Last year they were seen with all three of her kids.

She has daughter Taylor, 12, and son Brayden, seven, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, who is now wed to Heather Rae El Moussa of Selling Sunset fame.

And Christina also has son Hudson, three, with ex-husband Ant Anstead, who now romances Renee Zellweger.

‘Family vacation last week. Not ready (but ready) for kids to go back to school,’ she said in her caption.

Last year he gushed over her on her birthday.

‘Happy 40th Birthday to my absolute stunner of a wife!’ shared the hunky TV star who appears with her on her shows.

‘This woman has accomplished so much, inspired so many and continues to impress me daily.

‘I can’t say enough about what an absolute force she is and what she is capable of.

‘Christina is about to make her 40’s the best decade of her life and looking better than ever while doing it!

‘I’m a lucky man and thank my lucky stars that she chose me to take this ride with her that is now our life. Ride or die baby, love you more than anything ❤️.’

And she made a post too.

‘Had the best 40th birthday celebration thanks to my husband and best friend,’ Christina wrote on Instagram of her spouse.

‘I walked into the most incredible party where they thought of everything and made all my champagne dreams come true.

‘I feel very lucky to have such amazing people in my life.

‘Going into this new decade my goal is to slow the f*** down,’ she continued. ‘Enjoy the small moments and not rush through life. Take it easier on myself and mostly have fun and enjoy the ride.’

Bianca Censori’s Family Fears Kanye West Will ‘pull Her’ To Promote ‘indecency In His Controversial Adult Film Venture’

In a shocking turn of events, Bianca Censori’s family has voiced their concerns over her involvement with Kanye West’s latest controversial endeavor.
The acclaimed rapper, known for pushing boundaries, has recently announced his venture into the adult film industry, raising eyebrows and stirring public debate.
Censori, a rising star in her own right, has been linked with West both personally and professionally.

Her family, however, fears that this association might lead to her being “pulled” into promoting content they deem inappropriate and indecent.

According to close sources, the Censori family is deeply worried about the potential impact on her reputation and future career.

“Bianca has always been a beacon of talent and grace,” a family member, who wished to remain anonymous, shared.

“We are concerned that Kanye’s influence might steer her towards projects that don’t align with her values or public image.”

West’s adult film venture has already sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it blurs ethical lines and promotes a distorted view of intimacy and relationships.

While some hail his move as a bold step towards artistic freedom, others see it as a reckless endeavor that could have far-reaching negative effects.

Bianca Censori’s involvement in such a project could indeed amplify its reach, given her growing popularity.

However, the potential cost to her image and the moral stance of her supporters is a significant concern.

The family’s fears highlight the broader societal debate about the intersection of art, morality, and influence in the digital age.

As the situation unfolds, many will be watching closely to see how Censori navigates this challenging landscape.

Will she resist the pull of West’s controversial venture, or will her association with him take her down an unexpected path? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the eyes of the world are firmly on Bianca Censori.

 

Keanu Reeves Receives Criticism For ‘Dating A Mature Woman’ But He Stands By Partner Alexandra Grant

Actor Keanu Reeves, 59, is known to be one of Hollywood’s nicest guys. On top of being a movie star, in recent years, he’s also developed a reputation as “the internet’s boyfriend” due to how much netizens love him. There are many reasons that fans love Reeves — from the fact that he’s a bonafide action star whose filmography includes “The Matrix” and “John Wick” franchises, among other notable movies, to becoming the star of many popular memes. Reeves is simply one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors and an icon of the internet.

While Reeves is known for being one of Hollywood’s most beloved, friendly, and down-to-earth actors, he also has a dark past that is full of heartbreak. This included the loss of a daughter, who was stillborn, with his then-girlfriend Jennifer Syme before she herself passed away unexpectedly during a car accident, all within the space of about two years.

After taking time for himself to heal, the eligible bachelor then sought love and eventually fell in love with 50-year-old American visual artist Alexandra Grant. Overnight, the world became interested in the woman who stole Reeves’ heart. Notably, Reeves and Grant are a couple who are confident about showing the public their admiration. At the 2023 Museum of Contemporary Art Gala, Reeves and Grant had a very public display of affection on the red carpet, surprising many of their fans worldwide.

But alongside joy for the couple, the artist has been dealt an unfair amount of criticism too. Many comments have been sexist and ageist. However, despite the negativity that surrounded the couple, their love prevailed, and they have not shied away from expressing their love and affection for each other.

Reeves and Grant’s relationship first became public in November 2019, when they were photographed holding hands at a Los Angeles event, as reported by People Magazine. The couple had already been together for a few years but hadn’t gone public until then. Interest in Grant, who is an artist and philanthropist based in Los Angeles, grew quickly. According to The New York Times, the two met at a dinner party in 2009, and after that, they became business partners and friends.

They even collaborated on a 2011 book, “Ode to Happiness.” This led them to build a publishing house together, X Artists’ Books, which is described on their website as “a small publisher of thoughtful, high-quality, artist-centered books that fit within and between genres.”

In March 2020, Grant gave an interview with Vogue magazine. In it, she explained that many friends and acquaintances contacted her with questions about her relationship when she and Reeves first went public.

While it seems like they’re a good match, not everyone seems to think that Reeves and Grant’s relationship makes total sense, especially since Grant isn’t exactly a typical Hollywood girlfriend, as she herself admitted in the same interview.

“I’m a 6ft 1in woman with white hair,” she told the magazine. “You know, the idea of fitting in. If I wanted to look like Kim Kardashian, I would have to have surgery removing about a foot off my legs.”

But regardless of what people think of Reeves’s romance with Grant, it’s nice to see the actor in a happy relationship. After everything he’s been through, he deserves it.

For them, the true luxury lay not in material possessions but in the precious moments spent together, savoring the beauty of life’s simple pleasures amidst the paradise of the Caribbean island.
