Brian Grazer's Prenup Still Makes Wife Rich

Karl Erikson — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:35:00 GMT

Uber producer Brian Grazer's marriage is now officially finished. Papers filed last week in Los Angeles courts reveal the big pay-off to Brian's wife, Gigi, despite a prenuptial agreement. That means you gold digging women are free to glom onto Mr. Grazer.

Gigi originally asked for almost $1 million a MONTH in support for her and the kids. After 12 years of marriage, the couple have two sons: Thomas, 10, and Patrick, 5. Instead, she's getting a one-fer payment of $4.5 million. Then another $8.75 million to pay off some property in her name.

And rather than a million dollars a month in support, Gigi and the kids will have to survive on a measly $40k per month. I don't know how they're going to make it. Oh, and Brian is paying her lawyer fees, which amount to $488,977.

Brian and Gigi will share custody of the kids. Brian has two other children from a previous marriage...son Riley, 23, and daughter Sage, 21.

Word on the street is that Brian is now dating a pianist named Chosan Nguyen. That's her on the left right there. She's pretty, and yet somehow accepts Brian's ridiculous hair.

Mommy Bryce Dallas Howard Plays Preggers in New Terminator Movie

When Hollywood bigwig director McG came to new mommy Bryce Dallas Howard with a role in the new Terminator movie a couple years ago, she figured she'd have to lose her baby weight, and fast. She'd just given birth to her son, Theodore Norman (now 2).

"I had a pregnant body with no child in it," Bryce said at the film's L.A. premiere Thursday.

McG gave her the role of Kate, wife of John Connor, who is played by Christian Bale. "I was so excited," Bryce says, "but then was just kind of waiting to tell him, 'I'm not in great shape right now.'" She gave McG the news and he said, "That's okay. Kate's really pregnant, that'll be even better."

During the filming of Terminator, Bryce - daughter of Ron Howard, another megastar director - started losing weight, even without any action scenes. "Naturally, just after a woman has a baby, she starts to lose weight," she says. "McG was throwing cookies at me the whole time. 'You're still eight months pregnant in the movie! Be careful! Continuity!"

Bryce laughs about it now, but she's happy to be back into her usual shape, having used "good old-fashioned diet and exercise, and homeopathy to help me get my hormones back in shape, because that goes crazy after you have a child."

Terminator Salvation starts in movie theaters Thursday. Can't wait. Hopefully, it'll be so good that it erases Terminator 3 from my memory.

Hey kids, you like the time machines? Then strap on your seatbelt and get ready for a ride.

Mr. Ron Howard has been in the lives of most Americans for a very long time. The once child actor and current director is the latest star to put out a political endorsement. He does it with some help from his very cool friends. Heyyyyy!

Yes, it's politics and you may not agree with his view, but it's still fun to see the memories.

Brian Grazer's Divorce Getting Really Expensive

Karl Erikson — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 18:03:00 GMT

Powerhouse producer Brian Grazer is probably going to pay out big bucks to get rid of his third wife, Gigi Levanger Grazer. Gigi happens to be the author of the hit novel "The Starter Wife," now a series on USA Network. You'd think she'd have enough money with the novel and a few screenplays, but no. She wants - get this - $1 million a month in child and spousal support. A MONTH. The couple have two sons together.

According to documents filed by Gigi's accountant, Brian gets over $28 million a year, $13 miillion from his production company salary, the rest from corporate distributions. Gigi wants $988,184 a month, including $1,000 a month for "furniture and appliance replacement" at their house in Hawaii. She also spends $7k a month on "fine art."

Are you freaking KIDDING me? Who the hell needs $1 million a month to get by? And $1,000 a month for furniture and appliance replacement? What is she doing to this furniture? Using it as firewood? Absolutely ridiculous.

I could easily get by on $500,000 a month. A million is just excessive.
