Divorce, Hollywood Style

Well, whaddya know, all those years Parker Stevenson was making less money than his ex-wife, Kirstie Alley! (I guess those "Hardy Boys" residuals only go so far.) That's just one of the juicy details you'll learn as the Smoking Gun reprints this affidavit from their sordid divorce case. Now I know why so many celebrities turn to Scientology. Unlike other religions, this one allows them to live embarrassingly lavish lifestyles guilt-free. The happy couple in this case owned luxurious homes in at least three states, owned over 13 vehicles (including five boats), kept a masseuse on staff, and mounted annual Fourth of July parties complete with fireworks extravaganzas. And when they needed to charter a luxury bus (and who doesn't every now and then) they "preferred...the one used by the Prime Minister of Canada...It had every amenity." The virtually unemployable Stevenson now seeks millions of dollars in monetary support from Alley in order to maintain the lifestyle to which he has grown accustomed. God forbid their poor children be forced to endure anything less than their customary $10,000 Thanksgiving! The American turkey industry probably couldn't take the hit.
