Brian Grazer Deftly Avoids Divorce Bonanza, Hairdo Perfectly Intact

As previously reported in tell-all novel form, superproducer Brian Grazer has split from his wife of 11 years, The Starter Wife author Gigi Levangie. Well now the divorce is final and, because of an ironclad prenup, ol’ Grazerhead wasn’t taken to the cleaners.

Gigi originally wanted one million dollars a month in child support, a number now winnowed down to $US40,000. She’ll also get a lump sum of $US4.75 million, plus around $US9 million additional so she buy a place of her own, that’s in her name. So she can get a fresh start! And he has to pay 500k for Gigi’s lawyers.

So all told, that’s definitely better than coughing up $US12 million every year for his two sons’ out of control basketball sneaker addictions.

    @RonMwangaguhunga: That sadness is amplified if you're making alimony payments.

    You realize that being happily married is not only happier, it's a much better deal.

    Unless you're richer than God. Then you can indulge in exchanges like this:

    Jack Welch: "Do you know why divorce is so expensive?"

    Some guy: "No, why?"

    Jack Welch: "Because it's worth it."

    Wow, thanks. I'm going to go slit my wrists.*

    *By the way, I loved that movie, and I loved the prenup gag, so I'm sticking with it.**

    **I guess you saw it.

    @depardoo: That's an uninteresting reference to a movie that no one saw 6 years ago.

    Bravo.*

    *I'm sorry. I'm hungover.

    Contrast Grazer with his business partner, Ron Howard. Howard has only been with one woman, his wife and childhood sweetheart? He was on Howard Stern last week. Stern said there's a certain beauty and a certain sadness to that.

    Does this mean there's another divorce novel on the horizon, this time about a woman who gets unjustly screwed out of the money she deserves, and gets revenge. Or is that her last book? I'm not going to read it to find out.

    Without the Massey Prenup, one is exposed.

    Who gets custody of the hair products?

    I read the Starter Wife -- it was on my newspaper's "freebie table." Rich chick falls in love with a homeless guy who it just happens to turn out is a millionaire heir? Give me a fucking break. Bitch don't deserve a dime. From the book, the TV show or the movie, and Brian Grazer should be able to get off scot-free by calling her a liability to his reputation.
